Harambe: As you wished for, a few original written chapters. Also thanks for the support.
Dat boi: Ah, the same old thing.
Naruto x hinata: Already PM'd you about this month's ago, but I'll just say it here. I'm well aware that the five elements don't make up all the ninjutsu in existence, but you could use the some of the elements to create wood style, ice and many other things. Plus, a guy like Itachi would easily master the sealing jutsu's and all the others that doesn't require any element.
SuzuWuzu: PM'd you, you didn't respond don't know what else do say.
trex0428: Yeah, we already talked about this through PM.
bloodredmoon22: Well a little too late with that, but you were right.
Chapter 22: The chosen one!
The blue moon light shined down upon the abended factory, as the silent of the night was all that was heard. Then suddenly several explosions came from inside the factory.
Inside the factory Itachi was running on the side of the wall after a huge beast like creature that had the lower part of the body looking like a spider, while its upper body was dark and muscular, it had a human like head with big pointy ears and bug like eyes. "I'm pursuing the stray devil into position B." Itachi talked into a small red magic circle.
"Good job, we will meet you there." Rias's voice replied from the circle. "Remember don't kill it, we need to take it in for questioning." Rias reminded her boyfriend.
"So we still on for dinner later tonight?" Itachi asked as he threw some kunai knifes at the beast making sure it was still running towards the check point.
"Of course, once we're finished with the job." Rias replied through the magic circle.
"Sounds good. I will be approaching the check point in a few seconds." Itachi said as he leaped to the side and inhaled his breath.
Fire style: Fireball!
Itachi spitted a large ball of fire directed at the beast, it blasted the side in the direction it was trying to go to blocking the direction it was trying to escape making it continue towards the check point. "Anyway are you guys in position?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah!" Rias replied.
"Here!" Issei's voice was heard.
"In position." Koneko's voice was heard.
"Waiting for the pray." Akeno's voice was heard.
"Waiting." Michael's voice was heard.
""W-We're here too!"" Asia and Gasper replied in unison.
"Ready." Kiba's voice was heard.
"Waiting for the target." Xenovia's voice was heard.
"In position." Rossweisse's voice was heard.
"Arrived in position B." Itachi said as the monster leaped out a window.
The monster widened its eyes in shock as it saw Issei with his Boosted Gear gauntlet that was letting out a huge amount of green light. "Take this!" Issei shouted as he threw a punch directly into the monster's jaw, sending it flying into a pile of boxes.
The monster leaped out from the pile when suddenly.
SLICE!
SLICE!
Kiba and Xenovia used their swords to cut of the monsters arms making blood gush out from its sockets as it shrieked in pain. It tried and charge at Kiba and Xenovia but then his body froze. "Wh-What the?" The stray devil questioned when he spotted Gasper standing there focusing his eyes at the stray devil. "A sacred gear that can stop time?"
Koneko and Rossweisse appeared below the stray devil delivering an upper cut punch each to its jaw sending it flying into the air. Then it was blasted with a wave of destruction and a wave of lightning and thunder making it shrike in more pain as it was send crashing into the ground. The monster then struggled to get back up as its eyes meet with Michael.
"Yo." Michael said as he flicked the monster in the forehead sending it crashing into the wall.
"Ugh!" The monster grunted in pain as it crawled out of the rubble only to look to be surrounded by Rias and her peerage plus Michael. "D-Damn devils…" The monster of a stray devil cursed.
"Greetings stray devil." Rias said as she stepped up towards the stray devil who stared at her with hatred. "I'm Rias Gremory, it's a pleasure."
"Gremory? You've got kidding me!" The stray devil cursed in anger.
"We've detected some strange magic power in this area, and you happen to show up. Is that a coincidence?" Rias questioned the stray devil.
"Damn, I thought I was the only one." The stray devil said with an evil smirk.
"So you point being you don't know what it is?" Michael asked the stray devil.
"You, you're not like them are you? No, you're also a full-blooded devil like the Gremory girl. Judging by your super strength, your dark hair and blood red eyes, you're a Shadow Demon." The stray devil said with an evil chuckle. "And here I thought you monsters were all gone."
Michael stepped on the stray devil's head pushing him against the wall. "Unless you want your brain to paint the wall, I suggest you talk."
"I don't know what that power was, I thought it was an opportunity for me to gain more power and nothing more." The stray devil replied.
"Itachi." Rias said.
"I know." Itachi responded and went up to the stray devil looking it into the eyes with his sharingan spinning. "Did you tell the truth just now?"
"Y-Yes…" The stray devil replied looking hypnotized.
"His telling the truth. He has no idea on the origin of the power, nor what it is." Itachi said as Michael directed his palm at the stray devil blasting it with a dark purple wave, blasting it into oblivion.
Michael looked around at everyone. "What? We asked questions and he answered, that's the only reason we kept him alive."
Akeno let out a sigh at her boyfriend's behavior. "Why couldn't you just wait for us to tell you to do it?"
"Oh, you're just sad you didn't get to torture it first." Michael said with a teasing smirk.
"Your right. How about I play with you instead." Akeno said with a dark smile while letting out a dark aura.
"Please no." Michael begged with a sweat drop of fear.
"Anyway shall we go?" Itachi asked his girlfriend Rias.
"Yeah, we're done here." Rias replied. "Let's go everyone." Rias said as her, Itachi, Michael, Akeno, Issei, Asia walked in front of the others. Suddenly a bright portal of light appeared in front of them sucking Itachi, Michael and Issei in.
"Hey!" Issei shouted.
"What the-" Itachi said in confusion.
"Hell!" Michael finished.
"Issei-san!" Asia shouted and grabbed Issei's hand.
"Michael!" Akeno shouted and grabbed Michael's hand.
"Itachi!" Rias shouted and grabbed Itachi's hand. As all six of them were sucked into the portal.
"What the!?" Kiba shouted as he and the others ran towards the portal that began to close. Kiba leaped towards the portal with Xenovia but the portal closed just before he reached it. "No!"
"Buchou! Itachi-senpai!" Xenovia shouted.
"T-Their gone…" Gasper muttered in fear as tears formed in his eyes.
In an unknown location
A portal of light opened and out of that came Itachi, Michael, Issei, Rias, Akeno and Asia. "Argh! What happened?" Michael questioned rubbing his head.
"The heck was that?" Issei questioned.
"Ow, my head." Rias said as she rubbed her head.
"W-Where are we?" Itachi questioned as they looked around. What they saw was confusing. One half side was covered in sun light, it was filled with nature and mountains, it had some floating islands that had waterfalls running down from them, it also had some small orbs of yellow light floating around. While as the other half was covered in darkness, it was mostly made of rocks and stone, the ground had some red lines in several different patterns, it also had some volcanos in the distance, and it had some orbs of blood red light floating around. The gang was right in the center that split the light and the dark side. Michael and Akeno were laying on the dark side while the others laid on the light side.
"The hell is this place?" Michael questioned looking around in confusion.
"It feels kind of strange here, even stranger than the dimensional gap." Akeno said.
"I don't know, it kind of feels welcoming." Itachi said.
"Really? Feels strange to me." Rias said.
Akeno and Michael walked towards the others in the light, Akeno walked over to the others but the moment Michael's hand came over to the light side, smoke began to rise from his hand. "Argh!" Michael backed away holding his hand that had several burn marks on it. "The hell?!"
"Are you alright?" Akeno ran over to Michael examining his hand.
"The heck was that? It felt like my hand was burning up." Michael said looking at his hand in confusion.
"Huh, that's strange." Issei said as his foot lightly stepped on the dark side making his foot have smoke coming from it like what happened to Michael's hand. "Owch!" Issei leaped back holding his foot.
"Issei-san!" Asia shouted in a worried tone and went over to heal Issei. Once it was healed she looked at Michael. "Do you need some healing, Michael-senpai?"
"Nah, I'm fine." Michael replied as his hand began to heal itself. "One of the best things of being a Shadow Demon, powerful healing abilities."
"How strange." Itachi said as he quickly went over to the dark side but nothing happened. "Hm, nothing." Itachi said and looked over to the girls. "Akeno had no problem on staying on both sides, I assume the only ones with that problem seems to be you two." Itachi said and looked over to Issei and Michael.
"Why is that?" Rias questioned.
"I don't know, I have never heard of anything like that." Itachi replied.
"I'll ask Ddraig." Issei said and looked at his arm. "Hey Ddraig, where are we?"
"To be honest partner, I don't know. But the magic presence here is very powerful for some reason." Ddraig replied.
Rias and Akeno both have formed a magic circle both concentrating their powers into it. Rias then deactivated the magic circle. "No use, I can't contact my brother or anyone else."
Akeno deactivated her magic circle as well. "I can't reach anyone either."
"Maybe your magic powers are too weak to reach the distance to our friends. I'll try to contact James." Michael said forming a small magic circle in his palm, but he got no response. "No good, I can't contact anyone either." Michael said deactivating the magic circle.
"So how do we get home?" Asia questioned.
"I don't know. But that castle looks suspicious." Itachi said pointing at a castle that was in the far distance in the center with half of it looking like a crystal, and the other half like some demon castle from a video game. "If we want answers I think that's where we need to go."
"Looks like we have no choice, I can't go on the light side without being burned, and Issei can't go on the dark side being burned. So the only way for us to stick together we need to walk on the center line." Michael pointed out.
"The chosen one is here, and he brought the brothers of light and darkness. Plus, some friends of destiny." A gentle kind voice said.
Everyone looked around but couldn't find the source of the voice, it was like it was everywhere. In the trees, in the rocks, in the water, in the air. "Who's there?" Itachi asked.
"Indeed, things have taken quite an interesting turn." A dark evil sounding voice said. It was also heard from all directions.
"Where are you?! Come out!" Michael shouted.
Suddenly in front of them flew a dark shadowy ghost like creature with red eyes in front of them, as well as a white ghostly creature with golden eyes. "They're not as powerful as we hoped." The dark ghost creature said.
"Well the time prophecy hasn't come yet. Their still developing their powers." The white ghost creature said as he looked at Itachi.
"Prophecy?" Itachi questioned in a mutter.
"Prophecy? What are you talking about?!" Michael questioned.
"Why do you think he would call them now?" The dark ghost creature questioned to the white ghost ignoring Michael's question.
"He is dying, maybe he wanted to meet them before he died, especially the chosen one." The white ghost replied.
"Hey don't ignore me!" Michael shouted and charged at the dark ghost creature, but he slipped right through it. "W-What the?" Michael questioned in confusion.
"Foolish, son of darkness. We are godly beings you can't hurt us." The dark ghost mocked. Then he began to fly around Michael inspecting him. "Interesting. Your future is interesting."
"Future?" Michael questioned as the ghosts vanished in a flash, as later two orbs of light one golden, one red appeared in the distance near the castle.
"Okay, that was creepy." Rias commented.
"Well it looks like the answers to our questions are at that castle." Itachi said and began walking the path leading to the castle.
"Hey wait a minute, do we really want to go there?" Issei questioned. "I mean what if it's dangerous?"
"Dangerous or not, that place may be the only place leading us back home." Michael said as he walked the dark side of the path in the center leading to the castle.
"It's not like we have any other choice." Rias said as she and Akeno began following Itachi and Michael.
"Argh fine! Let's go Asia." Issei gave up.
"Yes." Asia said as she and Issei walked on the light side path in the center leading to the castle.
They walked down the split road between light and darkness, witnessing that the seasons around them were quickly changing, going from summer to fall, to winter and then to spring and back to summer again. The process repeated itself multiple times. The leafs on the threes changed colors, then died, then came to life. The air went from hot to cold. "This place is getting stranger the longer we stay here." Michael commented.
"I don't recall there being any place like this recorded in the underworld archive." Rias said.
"A place were the weather changes constantly as well as the seasons. We're one side remains sunny while the other remains covered in darkness. And so far the only signs we've seen of life were those two spirits. If you can even call them lifeforms." Itachi said inspecting his surroundings with great curiosity.
"Do you really think that castle has what we need to get home?" Akeno questioned.
"It's our best bet, we have no idea where we are or even how we got here. That castle may be the only place we can find our answers." Michael replied as he heard a shriek. He looked above him to see a dark shadowy demon figure flying above him. 'This presence, it's just like that dark spirit from earlier.' Michael thought as the rest of them looked at the creature as well.
"What is that?" Asia questioned holding on to Issei's arm showing signs of fear on her face.
"Get behind me Asia." Issei said as he activated his Boosted Gear.
Boost!
"Don't." Itachi warned.
"Why not?" Issei questioned.
"It's just watching us, nothing more." Itachi replied, he looked at Issei. "Deactivate your Boosted Gear." Itachi ordered to which Issei complied.
The creature then flew ahead of them towards the castle. "Something tells me we're on the right path." Michael said as they kept walking towards the castle.
They had arrived in front of a large gate that was in front of the castles courtyard. The side on the gate that was on the light side, looked like the pearly gates that would stand in front of you and heaven in the afterlife. While the side on the dark side looked like what someone would call hell's gates. "How do we get in?" Issei questioned.
Michael made his hand into a fist and threw a punch at the gate trying to break it down, but to no avail. "Well that was my idea, anyone else want to try?"
"There is no key hole or anything, meaning there must be some way to open it." Itachi began inspecting the gate. "If there is a way to open it, it must be somewhere around this gate. Maybe it's hidden or…" Itachi said as he spotted two different set of handprints one on the light side and one on the dark side. "…Never mind I think I found it."
"Seems two people are required to open the gate." Rias said.
"Michael and Issei are the only ones that can open the gate." Itachi said making the rest of them gain a confused expression.
"What do you mean?" Asia questioned.
"Well they're the ones that have a problem on walking on either the light or dark side. And since each of the handprints are on the different sides, I assume there must be a connection of some sort." Itachi explained and then looked over to Michael and Issei. "You might as well give it a try."
Michael placed his palm on the handprint on the dark side of the gate, while as Issei placed his on the light side of the gate. Suddenly a flash of crimson blood red light shined from around Michael's palm, as a golden light shined from Issei's. "Seems you were right." Michael said as the gate opened itself revealing a stairway from the courtyard leading to the top of the castle.
"Seems we will get our answers soon." Itachi said and stepped ahead of the others, he then looked at towards them. "Be on your guard at all time, we don't know what we're dealing with." Itachi warned to which they all nodded in response.
They walked up the staircase approaching the top. As they approached the top a pressure of some kind was felt bit by bit. "It feels like being in the presence of Ophis when she's at full power. No wait, it's even stronger." Michael commented.
When they entered the castle the presence kept growing stronger and stronger for every step they took. "This is getting kind of freaky." Akeno said.
Eventually they approached some sort of throne room. There were two statues on each side, on the dark side of the room was a statue of a man with short spiky hair and a beard, he had two small horns on his forehead, he was dressed in some sort of cloak with armor shoulder plates that had spikes on them. On the light side of the room was a statue of another man with long hair reaching to his shoulders, like the other statue it also had a beard only that it was longer and reached his chest, he had a simple coat, and he had some sort of halo above his head that was floating in a mysterious way. In the center of the statues was an old man sitting in a mediating position. He's body looked like to be split in half one side was dark and the other was white. On the dark side of his body his skin was black, he had red eyes, his clothing was a black robe, he had a long white beard. While as on the light side of his body his skin was white, his eyes were golden yellow, his clothing were a white robe, he had a long black beard. "I've been waiting for you." The man said in a deep powerful voice while looking at Itachi.
"Waiting? For me?" Itachi questioned.
"Yes, waiting for the chosen one." The man replied.
"The chosen what now?" Itachi questioned sharing an equal expression of confusion as the rest of the group.
"The chosen one." The man replied.
"Okay, answer our questions old man! What's all this chosen one crap you and those damn ghost creatures were talking about?!" Michael questioned in rage.
"All will be explained soon dark one." The man replied.
"Dark one? Hey listen buddy, my name is Michael Shadow! Not dark one!" Michael shouted.
"I'm well aware what your name is. But a fact is that you are the reincarnation of the dark one. Just like Issei Hyoudou is the reincarnation of the light one." The man said.
"Reincarnation of the light one?" Issei questioned.
"Who are you exactly?" Rias asked.
"Me? I am simply known as The Father of balance. I'm what inspires decisions in living beings both good and bad. All the decisions are decided by me." The man replied.
"So all the bad things and good things are decided by you?" Asia questioned.
"Then what happened to Asia, was decided by you as well?!" Issei questioned now showing signs of anger.
"Calm down, look at it this way. If it weren't for my decisions you won't be where you are right now, you won't be who you are right now." The man replied.
"I still don't like the idea of it." Akeno said.
"Anyway, those ghosts we saw and that flying creature, what are they?" Itachi asked.
"Those so called ghosts, we're my light side and dark side they control the decisions I make. And that creature was my dark side in one of his many forms." The man replied.
"Okay, but where the hell are we?" Michael questioned.
"In the center of everything, the center of universes and dimensions." The man replied.
"Okay, and how did we get here? And how do we get back home?" Michael questioned.
"How you got here is simple, I brought you here in order to meet you and Issei and the chosen one. The rest of you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. And as for how you get home, I simply teleport you back." The man replied.
"What is the reason you brought us here? Was it to meet us?" Itachi questioned.
"I wanted conformation on if you would be ready anytime soon for your destiny." The man replied.
"And what exactly is my destiny?" Itachi questioned holding a kunai knife hidden in his hand in case he needed it.
"First." The man said and swung his index finger making the kunai knife fly out of Itachi's hand as it suddenly vanished into nothingness. "You won't need such tools if you plan to kill me. Second your destiny is to take over my duties to keep balance between the dark and the light." The man said as he looked at both Michael and Issei and then he looked over to Itachi.
"Yeah, I think you got the wrong guy." Itachi said.
"You're Itachi Uchiha are you not? The wielder of the sharingan, the man who possess dragon flames. The chosen one is said to possess those two things. You were even sent from a different world, although the ones who sent you here thought it was only for one purpose." The man said as he stood up and approached him.
"Y-You know why is was sent here?" Itachi asked with curiosity as he had forgotten the reason why he was revived in this world in the first place.
"That's right, they erased your memory of the reason. But there's no reason to keep it hidden any longer." The man said and poked Itachi's forehead.
Memories of Itachi talking with the guardian spirit of the dead flooded through his mind. "I-I was sent here to start a new generation of shinobi…" Itachi said as sweat ran down his forehead and his body was shaking.
"That was only for the reason he taught, in truth it was only a minor one. There's an even greater reason you were sent here for." The man said as he placed his hand on Itachi's shoulder. "You were sent here to keep the balance between the dark and the light, you are the chosen one." The man said.
"And how can you confirm this to be true? How do you know you don't have the wrong person?" Itachi questioned with suspicion, also he didn't actually want to be this chosen one sounded like a lot of work and responsibility.
"Easy, I can see the past, the present and the future. And I can see that one day you will bring balance." The man replied.
"The future?" Itachi questioned.
"Yes, I can even see what your death will be like. Although since it's quite some time until that happens I only see small details of it." The man informed.
"Very well, humor me. How will I die?" Itachi asked making Rias's heart stop at the thought of Itachi dying.
"I see you on your back there's blood everywhere, you're holding your dead heart in your hands, as your hope cries above you." The man informed Itachi of his future death. Rias froze at the thought of Itachi dying as she clenched her hand on her chest.
"…."
"….."
"Well that's fucking ominous!" Michael shouted.
"Would you like to know your future death as well?" The man asked looking at Michael.
"Tch, knowing me I would probably die on the battlefield." Michael said with a sense of warrior pride.
"You'll die of age with your wife and two children standing at your side." The man said sending a crushing blow to Michael's warrior pride.
"T-That's disappointing…" Michael muttered.
"…."
"…."
"…."
"Wait, children? Wife?" Michael questioned.
"Yes you will get married and have two children." The man replied.
"M-Married?" Michael froze. "Um… Your dark side said my future was interesting. How was that interesting?" Michael questioned.
"He did, did he." The man muttered.
"If he's you won't you know what he says and does?" Michael questioned.
"Even though he is a part of me, he has his own will and way of mind same goes for my light side." The man replied.
"Then did he lie about my future? Or are you lying?" Michael questioned.
"Neither of us did." The man replied.
"What's that mean?" Michael questioned.
"It's your future you will find out." The man replied and walked over to Itachi, he then looked over at Rias who was still disturbed about the thought of Itachi dying. "She sure cares about you."
That made Itachi look over at Rias. "Don't worry about it." Itachi petted the top of his girlfriend's head. "He said it will be quite some time until it happens, so don't worry about it." Itachi said.
"I-I know, but just the thought of you dying is-is painful, it feels like my heart will shatter into pieces." Rias said as tears slowly began to form in her eyes.
"I understand, I would probably feel the same if I heard you were going to die one day. But there's something we just can't control after all death is a natural part of life." Itachi said then turned his attention to Father Balance. "So what's the story behind this so called prophecy?"
"Well if you want to know we have to start at before the beginning of time itself. Before the creation of the universe." The man said.
"Go on." Itachi said.
"Very well, one day out of nowhere to beings were created in a simple void. I was one of those beings the second one was my wife who had simply earned the name and title of Mother Life. Together we created this realm and we lived happily we even created two children together. These two statues are statues of my sons." The man said as he looked at the two statues next to his throne. "My oldest son Chaos, known as the first devil and the God of destruction." He said and looked at the statue that was on the dark side. "My youngest son Peace, known as the father of Gods, and the master of dragons." He said and looked at the statue on the light side.
"I thought that statue looked familiar." Michael said and looked at the statue of Chaos. "He was also known as the first Shadow Demon."
"He created an army that was gifted with his powers of darkness, that army would be known as Shadow Demons." The man Father Balance said.
"Yes then he proceeded to use the remains of his powers to create the rest of the devil race." Michael informed.
"Anyway, due to my two son's opposite personalities they were constantly at conflict with one another. I remember one night my sons had went out of this realm to have a fight, my wife had a vison like me she was also able to see the future. Since she was more powerful than I am she was able to see the future more clearly. My sons were also more powerful than me by the way." The man Father Balance said.
"So you were weaker than your wife and children?" Issei questioned.
"Anyway, what she saw was that one day. A man would arrive from the heavens in hell, he would possess mystic eyes and gain the power of a dragon's flame. And when the day would come when the dark and the light would once more have a conflict, the man that would be known as The Chosen One would interfere and restore balance." The man Father Balance informed them about the prophecy.
"T-That does sound like what happened to you." Rias said looking at Itachi.
"Hn." Itachi responded.
"What happened to your sons?" Issei asked.
"After she gave me the prophecy she went to stop our children from fighting. She went in between their attacks which caused her death, her death resulted in what humans call the big bang. In other words, her death created the universe." The man Father Balance informed.
""Wh-What?!"" Everyone besides Itachi and Michael questioned in unison.
"My sons then blamed one another for their mother's death, they never came back to this realm. They went and created their own realms, Chaos created the underworld and Peace created heaven. They then created an army to fight their fight for them which would be known as devils and angels. As for why their realms were centered close to planet earth, is because of my wife's life energy supported the planet with power to form life, there were some other planets but earth had the most of her energy. I kept watching their conflict from here and how they sometimes used other people for their conflict."
"What kind of people?" Itachi questioned.
"Kai Yami, Menma Haruyoko. My sons blessed their clans with powers that will only arrive in someone after a thousand years passed since the last one. And Kai Yami and his two younger sisters happened to be born on the same day so they were all blessed with sharingan, while as Menma and his twin brother were blessed with byakugan, hence the reason why Kai has sharingan and why Menma has byakugan. My sons seemed to have thought involving potential powerful humans in their own conflict was a good idea. Kai and Menma were born long after my sons had died, I'm sure they would be surprised to find out that two humans surpassed them." Father Balance said and let out a sigh.
"So that's how Kai got sharingan. Let me guess since he was more powerful than your sons I assume he achieved mangekyou." Itachi said.
"Yes, he achieved even eternal mangekyou when his sister died." Father Balance said. But it's what he achieved later that was terrifying..." Father Balance said with a hint of fear in his voice.
"And what was that?" Rias questioned.
"A power that rivaled my wife's, no a power that made him even more powerful than she ever was. It had never been seen in this world before, purple eyes shaped in a ripple pattern, they contained power to control gravity, to create planets, to kill anyone with a single move no matter how strong they were." Father Balance said as his body shook in fear as he clenched his fist.
Itachi was also shaking, he was sweating, he was afraid. "Ri-Rinnegan…" Itachi muttered.
"Yes, a power that's very well known in your world. You know the power that eye holds, right?" Father Balance questioned.
"Yeah I do. But how come Kai hasn't used it yet?" Itachi questioned.
"I don't know, all I know is that he has kept it hidden for years now. Not even I know the location of those eyes." Father Balance replied.
"What do you mean? Isn't the eyes he has now his?" Issei questioned.
"Kai Yami's real eyes are hidden, the ones he uses now aren't even real sharingan." Father Balance said.
"What do you mean by that?" Michael questioned.
"His current eyes are artificial sharingan they have the same abilities as a normal sharingan, predicting movements, casting powerful illusions, copying other jutsus. The only difference is they eventually go blind so he switches eyes constantly." Father Balance informed.
"Why doesn't he just use his original eyes?" Akeno asked.
"He seems to be wanting to save them until he launches his big plan." Father Balance replied.
"This plan, what is it exactly?" Michael asked.
"Destruction then creation. That is what he's plan involves." Father Balance replied.
"Be more specific." Michael said with an annoyed expression.
"I'm afraid I don't know the details of his plan or what it means. Thanks to Ophis he's been able to keep things secret from beings like myself. I'm afraid all I know is what it involves which is destruction then creation." Father Balance replied.
"Can't you find out by looking into the future?" Issei questioned.
"I tried, how do you think I found out what the plan involved." Father Balance replied. "Unlike my wife I can't get every single detail in my visons."
"Is Kai the darkness from the prophecy?" Itachi questioned.
"Maybe, maybe not. Maybe the darkness is Kai's forces of evil and the light is your friends, maybe it's Michael who is the darkness, maybe it's Issei who is the light. The future is always in motion, it's impossible to determine for sure." Father Balance replied.
"What is this stuff about me and Issei being the reincarnation of dark and light then?" Michael asked.
"The darkness or to be more specific my son Chaos and the light my other son Peace, the two of you are their reincarnations. Like Chaos you were born talented, you had little trouble keeping up with your peers, yet you still hold potential for much more." Father Balance said looking at Michael then he looked at Issei. "And like Peace you have potential but you struggle to achieve it, you have equal potential to Michael, and you're a pervert." Father Balance said making the group sweat drop.
"Peace was a pervert?" Michael questioned with an expression that said "Seriously?".
"Once he discovered females that weren't his mother, then yes he was a pervert big time." Father Balance replied with a dead serious expression as the group looked at the statue of peace then at Issei, back at the statue then at Issei. They looked alike the only difference being that Peace had longer hair and a beard. Other than that they were identical. Then they looked at the statue of Chaos then at Michael. The only difference was that Chaos had a full faced beard and shorter hair.
"What are you looking at?" Michael questioned.
Akeno then handed him a mirror, and Asia handed a mirror over to Issei. They both looked into the mirror then at the statues, back at the mirror and then back at the statues. They looked at each other and nodded. ""We're gonna grow a beard!"" The two of them said in unison.
""No, you're not."" Akeno and Asia said bluntly in unison, as Michael and Issei dropped down to their knees with gloom hanging over their heads.
Itachi rubs his chin. "Interesting." He mumbled.
Rias then pinches his cheek. "Don't even think about it."
Father Balance's eyes then began to glow.
Father Balances vison: 20 years into the future
"Honey I'm home!" Itachi's voice was heard coming from the door.
Rias went to great her husband when she suddenly froze and spotted a stranger with a beard. "Who are you old man!? And what are you doing in my house!?"
"Rias, Rias, honey it's me." The man said as Rias took a closer look at him and saw it was Itachi. "So what do you think of my glorious beard?" Itachi asked while Rias had a "What the fuck" expression.
"Shave that rug of your face!" Rias demanded.
"Never!" Itachi shouted.
Later at night
Itachi is sleeping peacefully in his sleep unknown that Rias sat on top of him with an electric shaver.
Later in the morning
Itachi woke up with a sudden coldness on his face, slowly he placed his right hand on his face. "No, it can't be…" Itachi said and rushed into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. "No, my beard! My glorious beard, no!" Itachi screamed.
Rias sat on the couch in the living room taking a sip of tea. "Justice." She muttered.
Father Balances vison ends.
Father Balance then sweat dropped.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Itachi answered and then looked over to Father Balance who had a sweat drop. 'Hm, I wonder what that's about. Meh, probably nothing wrong.' Itachi thought. Oh, how wrong he was.
"May I ask you one question?" Father Balance asked as he looked at Itachi.
"What?" Itachi questioned.
"Do you still doubt you're the chosen one?" Father Balance asked.
"To be honest, I don't know but it's sounds doubtful." Itachi replied.
"Perhaps if I were to test you, you would believe in your destiny." Father Balance suggested.
"It wouldn't hurt if you try." Rias said.
"I guess, fine I will do your little test." Itachi accepted.
"Very well." Father Balance said as his dark and light side bounced of his body turning into a dark and white ghost. Where Father Balance stood was now a normal old man with a long white beard, blue eyes, and he was wearing a blue coat. "Do it." Father Balance said as the dark and white ghost flew towards Michael and Issei. The dark ghost grabbed Michael and the white ghost grabbed Issei.
Michael!" Akeno shouted.
"Issei-san!" Asia shouted.
"What are you doing? Let them go!" Itachi demanded looking at Father Balance.
"Only you can command them to let your friends go, I have ordered them to kill them. So you better hurry up, it's your choice, who will you save? Issei? Or Michael?" Father Balance said as the dark ghost turned into a dark demon winged creature that had Michael trapped between his claws. And the white ghost turned into a white falcon like creature that glowed yellow as its eyes were green and it had Issei trapped in his falcon like claws.
"Don't worry about me! Save Issei, I will break free myself!" Michael shouted as he tried to push himself out from the demons claws.
"Don't waste your energy, physical force is useless against them." Father Balance said.
"Whatever they want, don't do it Itachi-senpai!" Issei shouted.
Itachi's eyes turned into sharingan then it morphed into a black pinwheel with a red star in the center. He stared at Father Balance in anger. "Let them go!" Itachi growled.
"Like I said, only you can make them let your friends go." Father Balance pointed out.
Itachi then stared at the creatures. "Let them go!" Itachi ordered but to no avail the creatures simply shrieked back at him. Suddenly a bright light shined on the floor beneath Itachi in a special pattern. Itachi's right eye's eternal mangekyou sharingan then changed its pattern, as it expanded into a ripple pattern and turned purple, and six tomoes appeared. "Let them go!" Itachi ordered extending his arms towards them when suddenly a gravity field pushed them up against the wall. Itachi then tightened the grip on his fist as he opened it forcing the creatures to let go of Michael and Issei. He then swung his arms down slamming the creatures on the ground making two large craters. "On your knees!" Itachi ordered as he then used a force of gravity to push them down to their knees, making them turn back to their ghost forms.
"H-He did it…" Rias muttered with wide eyes in shock as sweat ran down her forehead.
Itachi's right eye turned back into his eternal mangekyou sharingan as both his eyes turned into his normal black eyes. Itachi fell to his knees, shaking and sweating. "Wh-What was that?"
"A power that was hidden within you, I helped you use it just this once. You will eventually be able to use it on your own, but until then it will remain a hidden power." Father Balance pointed out. "Do you believe that you're the chosen one now?"
"I-I… Just get us back home…" Itachi said as he left the room.
"Itachi, wait up!" Rias said and followed her boyfriend.
"Issei-san are you hurt?" Asia asked supporting Issei back up.
"I'm fine, Asia. Let's go." Issei said as he gently pushed Asia back.
"Yeah." Asia said as she and Issei followed Itachi and Rias.
Michael looked at Itachi's figure that was slowly vanishing through the hallway. "Are you all right?" Akeno questioned.
"I'm fine." Michael replied and stood up as he and Akeno followed the others.
"Y-Your future, is an interesting one indeed…" The dark ghost mumbled, Michael's ear twitched a little as he heard the mumble from the dark ghost.
"Whatever…" Michael mumbled.
"Did you say something?" Akeno questioned.
"No, don't worry about it." Michael replied.
"You will not interfere with the dark one's path." Father Balance ordered the dark ghost.
"You've seen his future just like me. You know what will happen, death and destruction is in his path to the future." The dark ghost said.
"…We both know better." Father Balance said as the white ghost and the dark ghost went back into his body, making him regain the look of being divided between dark and light as one side was dark and his eye on that side was red, on the other side he was white with a yellow eye. Father Balance looked at the vanishing figure of Itachi and his friends. "That test proves he is the chosen one, for only he can tame the dark and the light."
That's the end for now!
Anyway this was my own original chapter for this story so the only thing I can ask you is to tell me how you think this chapter went? And also tell me if you have any questions and that kind of stuff.
Also I will re-write some of the earlier chapters of this story, and I will do this during the summer break as well as write some more original chapters until season 4 of dxd is released.
Also I want to make a few things clear, Itachi did use the rinnegan to take down the two ghosts. However, he still hasn't learned how to activate it. He will of course eventually learn how to activate it and master it. As for when I have not decided. Also in case you didn't notice, Itachi's rinnegan is like Sasuke's but the one difference between them is that Itachi's on his right eye while Sasuke has it on his left eye.
There will be two more chapters of this original arc and the title of the next one will be "What the future holds".
Leave a review!
-Later!
