Chapter 8: Brother VS. Brother

Opal jolted up in her sleep breathing heavily… for the past week or so she have been having those dreams… She shook it off and looked that it was time for her to cook breakfast.

"At least it's not late at night." She said.

Not too long later the family was eating breakfast…

"So, dad do you have any good missions for us today?" asked Naruto.

"I can't tell you." Said Arashi with the smirk.

"Oh…" whined Naruto.

"Oh come on Naruto-Niichan. It's not that bad." Said Opal.

"Dad's been sticking us with the Tora mission! Just because I'm his son and we have a cat." Said Naruto.

"Where is Artemis anyways?" asked Arashi.

"He's been staying with Ranma… Luna doesn't want him to leave her side while she pregnant." Said Naruto.

"Oh yeah… I forgot about that…" said Arashi.

Both of his children sweat dropped.

"I promise you today you don't have to do that Tora mission." Said Arashi.

Later that day Naruto's team which consisted of Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata and the friend nobody likes… um… well Sai were leaving the village.

"All right! This is going to be an easy mission!" yelled Naruto, "Delivering this scroll!"

"Hold on Naruto! It might seem easy but it could be hard." Said Sakura.

"No… I have a feeing that mission will be an easy one!" yelled Naruto.

Hours later they were walking back to the village.

"Wow… that was an easy mission." Said Sakura.

"See, told you." Said Naruto.

In a meeting at the Rainbow Brigade…

"So your going to send someone you haven't sent in a mission yet." Said Zeno to Orochimaru.

"That's right, one of my most loyal ninja." Said Orochimaru.

That's when a red haired girl appeared in the room, one side of hair was short and messy, while the other side was long and combed.

"Lord Orochimaru, I aid you in fighting the Sailor Senshi." Said the girl with a smirk.

"Just go easy on Sasuke… I don't know how he'll react seeing Orochimaru after such a long time, Karin." Said Orochimaru with an evil smirk.

"I'll go with her!" said Goldie.

"Very well." Said Princess Prism.

Goldie and Karin disappeared in yellow light.

"So… who is she?" asked Zeno.

"As I've said before she's one of my most trusted ninja…" said Orochimaru who then muttered, "Who used to try to do things to Sasuke while he slept."

That line was heard by everyone…

"Was it things you wanted to do him?" asked Olive with a smirk.

"For the last time! I'm not a pedophile." Said Orochimaru.

"You certainly made an alliance with Zeno and Zofis fast." Said Olive.

"Oh snap!" yelled Aoi.

Orochimaru began to grit his teeth.

"Let's pretend this conversation never happened." Said Taro.

"Agreed." Said Paul and Kuro.

Back in the World of Ninjas, The Team got to a teahouse they passed by the on the way there.

"Will you shut up about being hungry." Said Sai as they entered the place.

"I'm sure your hungry too… you robot." Said Naruto.

"Oh that's real mature." Said Sai.

They saw down on bench, where only Sasuke noticed two people already there, they appeared to be two men… and Sasuke recognized their attire instantly... the black cloaks with the red clouds and the straw hats that covered their faces… the Akatsuki…

"Their here." Thought Sasuke who then smelled the air, "Fish." He thought.

"Sasuke what's wrong." Said Sakura.

Sasuke turned to Sakura, "Nothing." He said then turned back to find those two were gone.

"All right! I'm ready to eat!" said Naruto.

"Wait… there's something I need to tell you." Said Sasuke.

In a nearby bamboo forest, the two people who quickly left the tea house were walking… they weren't wearing their hats so their faces could be seen…one of them was some sort of shark man… carrying a strange weapon on his back… while the other looked a little like Sasuke, but older and had strange lines on his face… he was Itachi… Sasuke's older brother and the man he swore to kill.

"I thought I heard that your little brother joined Orochimaru." Said the shark like man… who was Kisame, Itachi's partner in the Akatsuki.

"Yes… that what I herd as well… I guess what we heard was wrong." Said Itachi.

"No it was right… but Orochimaru abandoned me." Said a voice.

They turned around and saw Sasuke smirking behind them as he activated his Sharingan.

"Sasuke…" said Itachi.

That's when Sasuke poked the ground… which created a fissure… the shards all hit Itachi who dodged.

"That wasn't a Jutsu…" thought Itachi.

Sasuke ran to Itachi was about to punch him in the face but managed to dodge and grab Sasuke arm.

"So you really want me to break your arm again?" asked Itachi, who saw a look in Sasuke's eyes… that was different than before, "He's changed…" he thought.

"Let go of me!" yelled Sasuke kicking him in the… jewelry store.

"Okay that was unexcited…" said Kisame.

"Kisame… leave…" said Itachi in a slightly high-pitched voice.

"Why?" asked Kisame raising an eyebrow.

Itachi looked at Sasuke then at Kisame, "He's different than before…"

"You know where to meet." Said Kisame how then ran away.

Itachi recovered an got up, "So what do you mean Orochimaru abandoned you…" muttered Itachi.

"A group known as the black sun gave Orochimaru a special version the Sharingan that bonded with his soul in exchange for both working for them and being allowed to kill me." Said Sasuke.

"So I take it you're a constant target of theirs." Said Itachi.

"They quickly lost interest right away… I was allowed to return to village but I had to act a butler for a while." Said Sasuke.

"I see…" said Itachi.

"I've been training for this day since I returned… with moves and skills that from this world!" yelled Sasuke running towards him.

Nearby within sight, the other 4 watched.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Hinata.

"Remember this is Sasuke's choice." Said Naruto, "And remember… Sasuke's not trying to kill this time."

(Flashback)

"What do you mean Itachi was here!" yelled Naruto, Sakura and Hinata.

"I saw members of the Akatsuki as well." Said Sai sitting down.

"You know… if there's members of a murderous cult after your team in a tea house that we just entered you should tell that team mate right away!" yelled Naruto.

"Um… Naruto… the Akatsuki are a group of missing nin… not a murderous cult." Said Sakura.

"Oh… right…" said Naruto with a sweat drop.

"Are you going to fight him Sasuke?" asked Hinata.

"I am…" said Sasuke.

"What!" yelled Naruto and Sakura.

"Remember what happened last time!" yelled Naruto, "He beat you badly!"

"I know…" said Sasuke, "But... I'm not going all out… the reason why I'm going to fight is because he's excepting me."

"So you're not going to try to kill him." Said Sakura.

"I know I'm not ready yet." Said Sasuke.

"So you're just going to size him up." Said Sasuke with a smirk.

"Sasuke… just be careful… I still don't know how to heal the effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan." Said Sakura.

"I know." Said Sasuke.

(End of Flashback)

Sasuke ran towards Sasuke and kicked Itachi who blocked it. Itachi then used a fire Jutsu who Sasuke managed to dodge.

"What is that Black Sun that Orochimaru joined?" asked Itachi.

"That's none of your business!" yelled Sasuke.

Sasuke began to perform Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu, which Sasuke deflected.

"Your different." Said Itachi.

"I learned that I don't need to sacrifice my best friend for true power." Said Sasuke.

Itachi's eyes were wide when he heard that.

"How…" he thought.

Sasuke ran towards Itachi and the two began to exchange blows.

"There's a change… he must have opened his heart somehow… this is not the person I saw last time." Thought Itachi.

Nearby with Naruto's group…

"He seems to laying it on thick." Said Sai.

"I hate to say this but I agree with you." Said Sakura.

"That's quite an interesting fight…" said a voice.

Naruto nodded in agreement, that's when he turned around saw Goldie and Karin.

"You!" yelled Naruto who then turned to Karin, "Who are you?"

"I'm Karin! I'm a Sound Ninja." Said Karin.

That's when Goldie took out her yellow Crystal, "Come my Crystal Bright!" That's when a yellow monster appeared.

""Should we tell Sasuke?" asked Sakura.

"No…" said Naruto, "He needs this…"

"Venus Cosmic Power! Make-Up!"

That's when Naruto transformed into Sailor Venus.

Sailor Venus took out her communicator, "The Rainbow Brigade is attacking here…" said Sailor Venus.

"Where are you?" asked Kiyo over the compactor.

"I… don't know…" said Sailor Venus with a sweat drop, "We were coming back from a mission."

"I'll send everyone the coincidence…" sighed Kiyo.

"Okay!" said everyone else over the communicator.

Sailor Venus turned off her communicator and began to run away from Sasuke's fight… while the other ninja followed him.

"Hey get back here!" yelled Goldie as she, Karin and the monster followed them.

Despite Naruto's efforts Sasuke noticed what was happening not to far away.

"Sorry." Said Sasuke.

"Sorry about what?" asked Itachi.

"Something came up!" said Sasuke taking out smoke bombs and throwing them.

Sasuke followed them and transformed, "Pallas Cosmic Power! Make-up!"

Not too far away, they stopped running.

"I don't get why you ran… but either way!" said Goldie, "Attack them!"

The monster aimed a yellow energy attack at Sailor Venus.

"Golden Spraining Shuriken!"

"Supreme Lighting Canon!"

"Silence Glaive Shockwave!"

"Flaming Drill Torpedo!"

"Double Elemental Punch!"

That's when all the attacks hit. Sailor Venus turned around and saw all of the other Senshi they were expecting, expect for Sailor Uranus since Kakashi was busy with his own mission.

"That was fast." Said Sailor Venus.

"Yeah…" said Sailor Mercury, "You're in the Land of Fire so it was easy to find you."

"That's good…" sighed Sailor Venus.

"You think your going to win this time!" yelled Goldie, "Unleash your full power!"

That's when the monster unleashed a large amount of energy that forced all of the Senshi down as well as the three ninja allies.

"This is perfect." Said Goldie.

"No it's not…" mutter Karin.

"What do you mean?" asked Goldie.

"Sasuke isn't here." She said.

That's when there was a shot of "Icy Wind Shuriken!"

The energy wave stopped when the monster froze then was attacked… the Senshi managed to get up after that…

"Sasuke!" said Sakura.

"Wow…" said sailor Venus.

"What is it?" asked Sailor Mars.

"The bastard decided to help us rather than fight his brother!" said Sailor Venus.

Everyone gaped at Sailor Pallas.

"Holy shit!" yelled Sailor Juno.

"Really… your helping us… rather than fight your brother!" yelled Sailor Jupiter.

"Hey! I wasn't trying to kill him… I was just showing off what I learned since I saw him last!" yelled Sailor Pallas, "I know I'm not strong enough yet."

"Oh Sasuke!" said a voice.

Sailor Pallas finally noticed Karin and slowly turned towards her.

"Oh… no…" he said.

Karin took of her glasses, "My Sasuke it's been long time."

"Eep!" said Sailor Pallas who began to hide behind Sakura who sweat dropped.

"Is that what you do?" pouted Karin.

"That was a long time ago!" yelled Sailor Pallas, "And I didn't want you to do that to me!"

"Oh…" pouted Karin.

"I really don't want to know…" said Goldie.

"So Sasuke…" said Sailor Neptune.

"Ask… and die…" said Sailor Pallas no longer scared.

"So she…" said Sailor Venus.

"That goes the same for everyone." Said Sailor Pallas.

Sailor Vesta was about to whisper some thing to Sai.

"And Eido! Don't ask Sai either!" yelled Sailor Pallas.

"Fine…" muttered Sailor Vesta.

"Let's just finish this…" sighed Neo Sailor Moon.

"I'll do it." Said Sailor Cosmos Moon.

"Cosmos Moon Shining Star!"

The final attack hit and them monster was destroyed.

"We'll be back." Said Goldie.

"And I hope to see you again soon Sasuke!" said Karin.

That's when both of them disappeared. Sailor Pallas sighed and detransformed along with the rest… all of them were staring at him.

"Look! I'm serious about asking about Karin!" yelled Sasuke.

"Were you really fighting your brother?" asked Ace.

"Oh… that… yeah…" said Sasuke, "But it wasn't the full battle."

"What were you showing him the moves you learned from Cologne or something?" asked Ranma.

"Basically… that and he saw us in a nearby tea house and assumed I was going to fight him anyways." Said Sasuke with a shrug.

"That makes sense." Said Ranma with a sweat drop.

There was something Sasuke didn't notice, that Itachi had saw where Sasuke was headed and followed him. He saw Sasuke transform and saw everything in the fight and even at the moment was listening on this conversation, Itachi nodded and left…

"So that's what changed him… something strange is going on… Something very strange." He thought with a smirk.

That's when he met with Kisame.

"So, did you beat him to a bloody pulp?" asked Kisame.

"No… he had to do something important so he ran off." Said Itachi.

More important than avenging your clan?" asked Kisame.

"Yes… it was more important apparently." Said Itachi.

With that Itachi knew somewhat on the Senshi secret and little did the Senshi know was that something was going to happen… something very big.
