I'm glad that I could get this chapter up so soon :) This has got to be the longest chapter yet. I swear, I stayed up all night writing it with excitement! :D So I hope that it's enough to please you guys so much that you all review! :) And if you haven't looked at my youtube channel, please do :) Enjoy!

The rain that was pounding violently on Itachi's head didn't quite help his wooziness. He swayed and rocked in place as his knees wobbled dangerously beneath him. He let out a miserable groan.

Orochimaru attempted to tug on him, but Itachi had enough sense in him not to follow. He planted himself to the path with chakra.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Orochimaru yelled over the pounding rain, exasperated with the Uchiha.

:)

His yell clashed with Sasuke's as he attempted to continue his treacherous climb. Now, lightning was shooting at him in many directions, making it nearly impossible to dodge.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed, frustrated and frightened that he might die. Lightning continued mercilessly striking at him. Sasuke was running out of chakra, but he did everything he could to cling to the mountain. To cling to precious life.

:)

Himiwari, as you know, was being rather cruel about the whole thing. Zap! Zap! Zap! The lightning she sent out just got bigger, more electrifying. But man, Sasuke was really good at dodging... it was frustrating.

She furrowed her brow, stood up on her table, and shot lightning bolts from every finger on both hands. They somehow missed Sasuke.

"DRATS!" she screamed. But she refused to give up. Zap! Zap! Zap!

:)

"Sasuke-kun, do you want to die!" Orochimaru yelled.

Itachi just groaned in response.

Orochimaru tightened his hold on Itachi's hand, sent chakra to it, and tugged with all his might. But of course, the Uchiha wouldn't budge.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" Orochimaru screamed in disbelief.

"HEY!" a familiar, rather obnoxious voice yelled.

The Jinchuuriki stood in front of a large group of shinobi, a Hyuuga boy at his side. They looked crossly over at Orochimaru.

The pedophile narrowed his snakey eyes. "Naruto..." he hissed.

"Get away from him," Naruto warned.

Orochimaru shook his head like a 2 year old. "No!" he whined before continuing his game of tug-of-war.

"I said," Naruto said menacingly, "get away from him." His voice was dangerously quiet.

"I will NOT get away from Sasuke-kun! He's in trouble!" Orochimaru said angrily as Itachi let out another groan. His eyes looked like they were about to roll into the back of his head.

"Uh, that's actually not Sasuke," Naruto pointed out. "That's Itachi."

Orochimaru let go of the Uchiha's wrist as if it were a hot oven. "Whaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt!" he squealed. "That is just INSANE! You're lying!" he said, pointing accusingly at the citizens of Konoha.

"No, he's not lying," Neji said. "That really is Itachi."

Itachi fell over, out cold.

"Itachi-san!" Naruto, Neji, and Orochimaru all cried in a worried voice.

"You will NOT get your filthy hands on him OR Sasuke!" Naruto yelled, storming over to Orochimaru.

"My hands aren't filthy! I washed them earlier today!" Orochimaru said, holding up his hands. "Besides, he belongs to me! He always has!"

Naruto stopped, confused. "Wait... I thought you wanted Sasuke..." he pointed out.

Orochimaru's eyes widened. "Um, he belongs to me too!" he said.

"Naruto narrowed his eyes. "You... You...You..." he said, wanting to call him the dirtiest, cruelest name of all. But all the poor, sad, strange boy could muster up was "dummy!"

There was an awkward silence.

:)

Sasuke was running out of energy, and chakra. His eyes drooped. Would this be the end? The very end of his pathetic, sad, dull life?

Sasuke clinged on a little longer. "Itachi, I'm sorry..." he thought to himself, hoping that his brother could hear him somehow. "I'm so sorry I couldn't make it. We were so close to being reunited, but I was weak. Please, forgive me."

As lightning slashed square across his stomach, Sasuke weakly let go of the side of the cliff and began to fall in slow motion, blood seeping through his brother's Akatsuki cape.

Then his hand was caught on something.

"Hang on, Sasuke, I got you," a familiar voice echoed. Maybe it was an angel. That sounded exactly like...

:)

Neji sweatdropped. This was ridiculous.

Naruto and Orochimaru were having a fight. A girl fight.

Both were flailing their hands in front of them, just like classic girls would do.

Tsunade face palmed. "I'll handle this one!" she yelled. She walked up to Orochimaru and Naruto and punched them both in the face, knocking Orochimaru towards the cliff, and Naruto to the forest on the other side.

Jiraiya approached the Hokage. "Nice," he said. She smiled up at him.

Suddenly, who came crashing through the forest, carrying Naruto over his shoulder?

"Wha...? YAHIKO!" Jiraiya cried as he saw his former pupil, leading an entire organization of villans.

"YOU!" Sakura yelled as Sasori appeared. "I thought I killed you!"

"Nobody dies in Akatsuki," he said. "We just quit going on missions is all."

The pink haired girl stamped her foot before looking over at Pein. "And you! Give him back!"

Pein looked blankly at the feisty kunoichi. "Look, I'm not going to take him away," he said.

"Then give him back RIGHT NOW!" Tsunade yelled angrily.

"I'm NOT about to lose another student!" Jiraiya yelled.

"Look, we're all here for the same reason," Pein said matter-of-factly. "To rescue the Uchiha boys. From him!" Pein's eyes narrowed as he pointed an accusing finger at the rogue Sannin.

Orochimaru looked startled. "Me? What did I do?" he asked blankly.

"You imbecile!" Kiba jumped in. "Can you not see why we want to get them away from you! You've been after them for years!"

Everyone yelled out their own agreeing statement and began closing in on the snake man.

"What!" he wailed. "We're not on the same page! I was here to rescue Sasuke from getting killed by Itachi! But this is Itachi, and now I just want them both to be safe! Don't hurt me!" he whined.

"You're full of shit, you know!" Ino yelled in her most sassy voice.

"Yeah, you're probably trying to rape the boys!" Hidan yelled.

Everyone agreed with him.

"NO! I'm really not going to rape them!"

"How do we know that?" Sasori questioned.

"How do we know that you were going to rescue them in the first place?" Neji asked. Everyone began to close in on Orochimaru.

He looked at each face innocently. "No! I'm not lying to you!"

"Guys, he's telling the truth."

Everyone turned around to see Ino, her eyes closed in concentration. They opened as she eyed them all seriously. "The Yamanaka clan's most advanced and original jutsu: mind reading." she explained. "It takes up a lot of chakra. And it's only supposed to be for the most advanced of us." She looked down at Orochimaru. "He's right. He just wanted to rescue Sasuke in the first place. He didn't show up to rape them."

"So what do we do now?" Tsunade asked.

There was an awkward silence.

"BOOM!" The silence was broken, startling a slumbering Naruto.

"WHAAA!" He screamed, tumbling off of Pein's shoulder.

"Hey, you okay, pal?" Deidara held out his purple finger nailed hand out to the Jinchuuriki.

It took Naruto a while to figure out who it was. "AUGH! AKATSUKI!" He quickly scrambled to his feet and hid behind his mentor. "Save me! Save me!" he cried, clinging onto Jiraiya's shirt.

"Hey, moron! Get off!" Jiraiya yelled, shaking his student off his back.

"But why, Pervy Sage!" he whined

"WHAT!" Jiraiya yelled back.

Their argument was interrupted as a familiar man shot up from the edge of the cliff. A man who resembled a shark was clinging onto a figure who looked pretty much dead.

Itachi. Or should I say Sasuke?

Everyone gaped at Kisame first. No one was quite expecting to see him here.

"Kisame! I'm so happy to see you! I'm sorry!" Pein cried, both relieved and excited to see his former member.

Kisame eyed his once-upon-a-time leader. "No time for that. We'll talk later. Sasuke is severely wounded." Kisame was now carrying the young man bridal style, carefully shielding his wound from the rain. "Is anyone here a medical ninja!" he asked desperately. "This wound needs immediate attention! It's very severe!"

Tsunade began to step foreward, but was suddenly pushed aside by a hysterical Sakura. Tsunade smiled. That's my girl, she thought to herself as she watched Sakura run at lightning speed up to Kisame and Sasuke.

She looked up at the blue man, tears flooding in her eyes. "I'm a medical ninja," she said as clearly as she could in between dramatic sobs.

Kisame stared at her for a moment before placing Sasuke down in front of her. "He's all yours, cotton candy head," he said, smirking sarcastically.

Usually, Sakura would've punched him hard, but this was Sasuke's LIFE we're talking about. So instead, she just began crying harder as she sent green chakra running to her hand. She placed her hand over his stomach.

The wound slowly subsided, but didn't go away completely. He would probably need stitches. Sakura let her tears land on his face with the rain. Would he make it? She pressed her head to his chest only to hear shallow, slow, uneven beats. He was barely alive.

"Stay with me, Sasuke, please stay with me!"

Now what was Himiwari doing...?

:)

Himiwari would have had more action going, anything to keep everyone from showing up like this. But unfortunately, her evil plan was about to go on probation.

She had sent a bolt of lightning slashing across Sasuke's stomach. She watched as he began falling. Yes, finally...

"Himiwari!" a sudden voice had come across the room with the sound of a door creaking open, just as this was happening. Before the evil angel could see what happened next, she whipped her head around, her silvery hair spiraling and hitting her in the face. "You! What are you doing here!"

Aname stood in the center of the grand doorframe. She finally felt powerful instead of vulnerable in Himiwari's presence. She would win. "And just WHAT do you think you're DOING!" Aname said sternly.

Himiwari narrowed her eyes. "I refuse to let you surpass me," she said. "You've just gotten here to heaven, and now you get a chance to be a guardian angel? For two young men!" Himiwari snorted sarcastically. "Ha! As if! I've been here for YEARS! YEARS, I tell you! You think I'm going to let you become a guardian angel for TWO men, while I just get to sit here and worship you! FAT CHANCE!"

Aname glared right back. "You don't deserve that title," she said menacingly. "But I did, because guess what? I actually care!"

Himiwari smirked. "Well, this must be a joke! A sick, cruel joke!" she said, laughing in disbelief as she studied the short little girl. "I mean, just LOOK at you! You're not a real angel, you're just a weak, short, hideous JOKE! A disgrace to all angels, whether fallen or in heaven! You don't even have any wings!"

Aname's blood was now boiling inside of her. Her pale face flushed red. Himiwari was saying something, but Aname couldn't hear her. She was too angry to listen.

Finally, Aname slammed the door shut with a loud "CRACK!" as the wall around the door nearly crumbled behind her. She didn't seem to care. "I'm more of an angel than you'll EVER be!" she screeched. Then she flung herself at Himiwari.

Himiwari jumped up on the long table and squealed, but then laughed evilly. "You'll never be able to fix this!" she said, her eyes widening like a psycho as her smile grew large on her smooth face. "I've sent the strongest shinobi in the WORLD to stop it all from happening! You'll NEVER get anywhere!"

Aname stopped in her tracks. Then she shook her head before charging back at Himiwari, sending the demon across the room, hitting the huge picture of herself with darts sticking out in various places on her body. Aname grimaced.

The fight was on.

:)

The fight was also on down below...

Itachi's eyes drooped open. Everything was spinning. Voices echoed his name.

"Itachi! You're alright!"

"Ugh, where am I...?" he droned, placing a hand to his wet forehead. He slowly sat up.

As if he were a famous star, everyone imaginable, Konoha, the Akatsuki, Orochimaru, were all suddenly leaning into him, clouding his vision, asking him if he was okay. Their voices clashed with one another.

"People, I'm fine," he said casually. Everyone let out a breath of relief.

"Itachi-san! I've MISSED you SOOO much!" Uh-oh.

Orochimaru's hands were now wrapped around his waist, nearly suffocating him.

"GET OFF OF ME!" Itachi screamed. Orochimaru didn't seem to hear.

"Itachi-san, I've never fully stopped loving you!" he said quietly. Then he looked deep into his eyes, and suddenly all he could see was Orochimaru. Then, all he could feel was Orochimaru. Poor Itachi wasn't expecting anything, so he just sat there helplessly as Orochimaru fulfilled his fantasy...

Finally, Itachi reacted by SHOVING THE HELL out of Orochimaru by kicking him in the balls. "AUGH!" Itachi and Orochimaru yelled in unison, Orochimaru pained and Itachi disgusted.
"I just had a SNAKE TONGUE in my MOUTH! OROCHIMARU JUST KISSED MY BROTHER!" Itachi began wiping off his toungue with his hands.

"Itachi, WHY!" Orochimaru cried, clutching his balls.

Itachi suddenly stopped. "Hang on," he asked, looking around at the large group of people who obviously didn't belong on the same team. "How do you all know who I am?" he asked.

"That Aname girl told us," Shikamaru said. "She came to all of us and told us to come here."

"EWWW! ITACHI JUST GOT KISSED BY OROCHIMARU!" Naruto screeched.

"Yeah, that's kinda sick."

The voice was so sudden, just like they had all gotten stabbed spontaneously by kunai. Each shinobi carefully turned around, only to see...

"Tobi?" Deidara asked in disbelief. "You... you talked normal... You didn't sound all obnoxious and hyper, un..." he said, obviously shocked.

"And what are you DOING here!" Hidan added.

The shinobi smirked behind his mask. "Not many of you know my true identity. Except Pein and Itachi, that is."

Pein smacked his forehead. "Well, THIS will get ugly..." he muttered as Itachi "Ugh'"d.

Slowly, yet surely, the shinobi tore off his mask, reviling his true identity. "I am Madara Uchiha." He had a sharingan eye, but the other had a patch over it.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"No, it can't be!" Kakashi said, shocked. "You were Madara all along?"

"Yes, Kakashi, I was," Madara said. "Do you remember all we've been through together? When I despised you, and you despised me, up until the day I died?" He smirked. "That wasn't real. Obito wasn't real." His sharingan was piercing. Ino fell to the ground. Something about his sharingan had affected her. Asuma rushed to her side.

"Ino!" he picked her up and slung her over his shoulders like a rag doll. "i must go and care for Ino," he told the Hokage. She nodded and he hastily retreated into the forest.

Itachi looked at him, glared at him. He knew of the great and terrible powers Madara possessed better than anyone in the world. He stepped up. "I'll take him," he said bravely.

Everyone gasped while Madara smirked.

"Itachi, no!" A quiet Hinata spoke up for the first time. Everyone turned around to look at the shy, reserved girl, staring nervously at Itachi.

The Uchiha smiled reassuringly. "Hey, don't worry about me," he said. "I've got this."

He turned back to Madara, who just smiled evilly at Itachi. "So, this is the thanks I get for keeping you alive?" Madara asked. "Well, if you say so..." he said with a shrug.

That sentence was said in super slow-mo in Itachi's world. He knew the tone in Madara's voice meant he would attack, RIGHT after the sentence was said. He had to do something. FAST. To prevent the attack from happening at all. To prevent further chaos.

Before Itachi thought of what he was doing, he did exactly what Orochimaru did to him. Pressed his lips firmly against Madara's into a "passionate" kiss.

"OMFG, ARE YOU SERIOUS!" Hidan yelled in the background as Naruto just screamed in disgust. Everyone just stared and sweatdropped. He's mental, was the thought running through everyone's mind.

When Itachi pulled away from Madara, he looked at his shocked, frozen expression. This was exactly what he had wanted. He quickly whipped out a kunai, and stabbed him through the head. Blood spurted out everywhere, splattering Itachi's face. It felt gooooood... :P"

"AUGH!" Madara yelled in pain, his hands wrapped around the kunai. His knees wobbled and gave way, and he fell to a silent death.

"Yeah, real tough," Itachi said before a session of choking and gagging. The whole group held back the giggles. But Sakura was in her own world, desperate to fix Sasuke.

:)

Himiwari had Aname pinned against the wall. She had lost all her feisty strength.

"Mmm, let's make this slow and painful, shall we?" she asked with a smile.

Aname said nothing, as she was much to weak to have a conversation.

Himiwari flipped out a kunai, then ran her tongue across the blade. "Poison," she explained.

Aname watched this helplessly, her eyelids drooping over her blood red eyes.

"Let the fun begin!" Himiwari chanted. She stabbed the kunai through Aname's stomach. Now, Aname had enough energy to scream.

"AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH!" The poison seeped through her body and began to flow through her bloodstream. She felt like she was on fire.

"Whoo!" Himiwari's happy yell clashed with Aname's pained scream. "How does THIS feel!" She poked her blade on Aname's face and slashed it across. Aname screamed even louder, her eyes filling up with tears that spilled over.

Suddenly, Himiwari heard something. It was from her model of the hill. A man was yelling. She turned around, only to see a kunai poking through Madara's skull as he fell to the ground, dead.

"WHAT!" she cried. She ran over to the model, leaving Aname to collapse on the ground, sobbing in pain. "No! This is NOT fair!" She climbed upon the table.

"HIMIWARI!" A booming voice yelled.

The devilish girl was devastated. And she knew whose voice that was. Who didn't? This only meant one thing.

Himiwari's plan would fail.

:)

Itachi had now made it on the ground, hacking and coughing. The group was surprised that he hadn't coughed up a lung yet. Poor thing had kissed two guys in one day...

All of a sudden, there was a bright light from the sky, which was now just lightly sprinkling. A girl with silvery white hair crashed onto the ground with a big "CRASH!" She sat up, looking very unhappy.

"Himiwari?" Orochimaru said shocked. He violently pushed through the crowd and to the woman's side. "Himiwari!" he yelled, worried.

"Himiwari just looked down at her hands. Where were her powers? Where were her wings?

"I'm..." she couldn't finish the sentence.

"What? You're what?" Orochimaru asked. This was starting to look like a soap opera.

Before Himiwari could answer, another light came from the sky, and a little redhead landed gracefully on her feet, now unscathed and de-poisoned. Himiwari could do nothing but glare.

"It's all your fault!" Himiwari said to Aname. "If it weren't for you! I would still... I would still..."

Aname just looked sympathetic. "Himiwari," she said. "It wasn't my fault. You were jealous. And you didn't have to be. I mean, LOOK at you! You're far more pretty than I am. And you had wonderful wings."

Himiwari's eye narrowed.

"Where are your wings, anyways?" Orochimaru asked curiously.

Himiwari took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I'm mortal," she quickly responded. She hung her head. "I shouldn't have been jealous. I should've been nicer. But I just had to be better than everyone. And I'm realizing my mistakes too late."

Aname walked over to Himiwari. "At least you're still seeing them," Aname said. "This can be a great new start. And when you grow old in this life then you should get a second chance in heaven."

Himiwari gave Aname a small smile. "Thank you," she said. Then she frowned again. "But where will I go? What will I do?"

"You'll stay with me," Orochimaru said. Himiwari looked at him. Orochimaru continued speaking. "When I first saw you, I was amazed at everything about you. And when you left, I was almost devastated that I'd never see you again," he explained. "But now, you'll always stay with me instead of disappearing." He remembered how he had tried to take her hand before she had completely vanished. Now, he really took her hand. It was solid, not going anywhere. Himiwari stared wide eyed at him. "Himiwari, will you stay with me?" Orochimaru asked.

Himiwari was shocked at first, but then smiled. "Yes," she said.

Orochimaru smiled. If she was mortal, then he had a feeling that he wouldn't need any more vessels. He leaned in and quickly smooched her on the lips (OMG, HE'S STRAIGHT! WHOO!).

Everyone gave the two a round of applause.

Once the clapping subsided, Tsunade walked confidentally up to Pein and held out her hand. "Let's make peace," she stated with a friendly smile on her pink lips.

Pein stared for a while, then gave a rare smile and took her hand and shook it. Another round of applause and cheering.

"And if you want, you can stay with us in Konoha," she offered. "Kisame, you can come too."

Kisame smiled. "Okay," he said. Clapping.

Pein smiled larger. "Deal," he said with another firm shake of the hand before letting go. Even more clapping and cheering. "And I promise NEVER to take another Jinchuuriki again! Naruto, you're safe now!"

HUGE clapping and cheering. Naruto just smiled in surprise as his buddies patted him on the back.

Pein walked over to Jiraiya and held out his hand, just like Tsunade had done to him. "I'm sorry," he said, "sensei."

Jiraiya looked at him, shock. Then he took Pein's hand. "This better not happen again," he said.

"Okay," said Pein.

"WHOO!" everyone cheered and clapped once more.

With all the happiness going on, there was only one thing that they had to worry about. Everyone silently turned their attention over to the youngest Uchiha.

Sasuke.

Hope you enjoyed the uber long chapter! Please review! ;) Thanks for reading this story, and I'm glad that many of you have enjoyed it. I've enjoyed writing it! :D Thanks again!
