With the death of the third hokage, surely the elders will take matters into their own hands until they find another hokage.

Well, it's time to visit the Hidden Leaf Village, the elders must not dare to lay a finger on my brother, not while I'm still alive. Kisame and I wear a hat to not be noticed, even tough security in this village is so low that it will be some time before they are aware of our presence. Unless we meet Kakashi, nothing escapes him and If I were to accidentally meet his gaze it would be a big a problem.

"The village that was once at the height of its glory", we stop on the wooden bridge to observe the village, "how sad."

Kisame turns to look at me, "how unlike you. You have lingering affections for your old home?"

I look up at the sky, ringing the bells hanging from my hat, before taking the steps towards the village with my companion.

"So this was the cafe you liked to frequent?"

This man talks too much, I nod without adding any more words. I used to love this place, I'm surprised it's still open after all this time.

I hear footsteps outside and then a very familiar smell, until that person speaks up, making my eyes widen.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here?"

"While I'm here to buy offerings, I've made plans to meet here with Sasuke." Kakashi replies to the stranger, naming my brother. His words make me jump, he knows I'm here.

"Is the offering to Obito?"

"Obito?" A female voice, a woman.

"Well… that's about right." Kisame puts the cup of tea on the table, next to the dango I haven't been able to eat yet.

"Kakashi."

Sasuke? I try to look outside to see how much my brother has grown, and he's exactly as I remembered. Before leaving, we wait for the two characters outside to leave. Except that on the street we meet two familiar figures with a not exactly happy look on their face.

I lift my hat slightly to show my eyes, which they will surely recognize.

"Huh?!" They gasp, looking at me in surprise, apparently I became famous in the village. The man stammers in fear, "y-you are?"

I take off my hat, letting the wind blow my hair and with one hand I unbutton the jacket, leaving it half closed to rest I hand on top, "Humph, without a doubt…"

The man with a cigarette between his lips keeps looking at me, I have to get ready to attack.

"Uchiha Itachi."

Kisame giggles, starting to talk, "I'll introduce myself as well."

He takes off his hat too, showing his face, "I'm Kisame Hoshigaki. Hereafter, I hope to be familiar with you."

"Asuma-san… Kurenai-san… don't interfere with me."

"I don't intend to kill you." I look at them, showing the three tomoe of my sharingan. The sharingan with three tomoe improves reflexes giving the possibility to see all the opponent's movements, analyze them, anticipate them and take note of the following movement. I must not use it too much, otherwise I risk my ill taking over.

Kisame grabs the sword and slams it on the ground, causing a cloud of dust. "This guy is pretty annoying. Should we kill him?"

The first gesture of attack leaves a hole in the ground, I have to be careful trying to fight without hurting them but at the same time I don't have to get caught by Kisame. My only workable choice is not to hold back too much, but also not to use the sharingan too much.

After a continuous exchange of glances, Kurenai starts making hand seals.

"This is… Genjutsu."

She specializes in Genjutsu and her signature technique is "Tree Binding Death" where she uses her illusion skills to wrap roots around the person and then slit their throats.

So Kurenai's jutsu allows her to disappear and create trees out of thin air, then the tree branches and roots wrap around my body, binding me so I can't move.

But this jutsu cannot work against me.

"With this… it's over!" When she come out from the top of the tree with Kunai in hand to slit my throat, I smile at her reversing her attack with my sharingan.

I grab a kunai to attack her before she can free herself, but only manage to cut off some of her hair. So I take advantage of the distraction to hit her in the face but she manages to defend herself, falling into the lake.

"That's what's expected from you, Kurenai-san."

"But…"

"But this is as far as it goes…" I move my gaze to my side, feeling a very familiar presence, "for you."

Kakashi is standing behind me with a kunai aimed at my back, "but I kinda felt uneasy, you know."

"Shadow clones?"

"Hatake Kakashi", I pronounce his name turning towards him, to look him in the eyes. He's just the person I hoped wouldn't intervene.

"Your eyes are exactly the same as they used to be in the past. You are a true inheritor of the Sharingan…"

I keep watching him, waiting for him to do something. I can't move my body, he's too close to me and the smell of him is making me lose my mind.

"There they were Itachi Uchiha and the Mystery Man of Hidden Mist Village, Kisame Hoshigaki." Kakashi's other copy is protecting Asuma, as usual, he protects everyone before himself.

"Well, well… you know even my name. It's an honor."

"Why did you come back?" My attention that was previously on his copy is now back to him. "Just came to find something we're looking for."

"Something you're looking for?" Kakashi keeps talking to me without trying to attack.

I suddenly feel something coming from under the water, so I grab the shurikens. Kakashi walks away and starts making hand seals, "Ninja art: water style. Water wall!"

The water hits Kakashi, hiding him in a wall of water, I keep watching every move carefully. The wall comes down revealing his body safe and sound.

"That's what to expect from you, Kakashi-san." I smile, seeing how he managed to defend himself before I could attack him.

"Your power of analytical eye… is great." I clone myself behind him, hitting him with a kunai, knowing full well that he's just a water copy.

"A shadow clone?! His jutsu speed is too fast!" Kakashi dissolves in water, "A water clone?!"

As expected of him.

Now surely he will try to attack me from under the water, "Nice! Kakashi!"

"Get down, Kurenai!" Before she can attempt to attack me, Kakashi comes out from under the water and grabs her, "this one is the Shadow Clone…"

"Huh?" As usual Kakashi is always one step ahead of the others.

"Kakashi! Kurenai!" Something explodes underwater causing a short rain, my eyes widen as they notice that kakashi got injured trying to protect Kurenai.

"Kakashi…!" The rain stops and Kakashi turns back to me, standing in front of his teammates.

"Don't lower your guard… he's the guy who become a division chief of Anbu Black Ops at 13 years old…"

"I didn't expect that you who aren't member of the Uchiha clan would have mastered the Sharingan to that extent…"

"But your body isn't the Uchiha clan body that goes with the eye."

I slowly open my left eye, ready to use an extremely powerful genjutsu that takes the victim into an unreal world controlled by me, where I can control space and time. Kakashi seems to be aware of this jutsu because his eyes widen, "It can't be!"

"This is bad! Both of you! Don't look at his eyes!"

"Only people with Sharingan can have a go with that technique."

"Indeed with Sharingan, you can resist this Mangekyo Sharingan to a certain extent." His companions manage to escape by closing their eyes, but he is carried away with me in my unreal world.

We find ourselves in a space covered in red clouds, Kakashi tied to a cross while being stabbed over and over again by me.

"I'm sorry, I can't do otherwise." He looks up at me and with the little breath he has left he smiles at me, "I'm glad you're back."

How can he say these things to me while I'm hurting him? I stop for a few seconds to look at him.

"I know you really didn't mean to hurt anyone, I saw how you held back. You could have killed us at any time but you didn't."

"After this jutsu you will stay in bed for a few days", he nods. "It will be fine if you come to see me."

I take a step back feeling my cheeks burn, "I see I still make you blush."

"Why did you kiss me that night?" My words trigger a pained laugh. "I didn't kiss you, I just touched your lips. But if you want a kiss, just say it."

"Maybe when you get off that cross and you'll be better." I realize what I've said and step back, looking everywhere but at him.

"I'll wait for you," he smiles at me again, it's shocking how expressive his eyes are.

He will be trapped in here for 72 hours which will only be seconds outside.

With the little breath left to him he leans on his knees, "N- Not… yet…"

I look at him surprised, he still manages to move, "what happened?! Just as that guy finished speaking, you suddenly fell over!"

"The name of your organization is Akatsuki, right?" Kisame and I look at him speechless, how many things does he know? He knows about me and what I did, but how does he know about the existence of the Akatsuki?

Kisame advances to attack him and I can't stop him, luckily someone appears from under the water defending him. "Severe Leaf Hurricanes!" Kisame is pushed back beside me as Might Guy emerges from the water, whom I've never loved more than I do right now for saving Kakashi.

"In order to fight Kakashi, I devised ways to battle the Sharingan. Open your eyes, both of you!" He grabs Kakashi's passed out body and puts him on his shoulders, I just hope he recovers soon.

"B-but…"

"Kisame… pull the plug", I order him to stop, "we didn't come to have a war."

"It's too bad, but no more of this nonsense. We're leaving." I throw one last look at Kakashi and then I run away with Kisame, I wanted to talk to him a little more but that can't happen as long as I'm the traitor of the Hidden Leaf Village.
