Chapter one :
It has been eleven years since Itachi was reincarnated in this new world, 'the boiling Isles'. The corpse of a titan.
It was a weird world but way better than the elemental nations, children weren't learning to kill, there was no war or the rivalities that created wars
He was in a world where instead of using chakra people used magic but unfortunately such a wonderful power was eventually corrupted and used for war. Your social position, your family, your life. All of them depend on how good you are at magic
In a cruel twist of fate, it was one of the few things the isles did have in common with his former world.
He was reborn into a noble family and with that came the pressure, he was used to it but he didn't wish that upon his little sister, Amity Blight.
The poor girl was having a miserable life, the six firsts years of her life were good but then their parents wanted her to act like 'a Blight' and thus she couldn't have friends, she couldn't have hobbies, she couldn't live.
Their older siblings could do nothing so now he had to say goodby to Lance Blight and becoming Uchiha Itachi again
He got a chance for a peaceful life with a future where he would never have to fight again only to enroll in the army in order to give that same chance to his beloved sister, how ironic..
Itachi was standing in a ring in front of his opponent as the tribune was full of people watching the fight. It wasn't every day you could watch an eleven year old fight against someone from the elite.
"Citizen of the Isles, this is the duel determining of the future of the emperor Coven. To my right is Ryu Baeksan, member of our illustre coven for three years and to my left is Lance Blight, the eleven years old prodigy who finished his studies at ten and whose demand of joining the emperor's coven will be determined by this fight." The referee declared to everyone.
Ryu looked unnerved that Itachi's introduction was longer than his but the uchiha didn't care.
Both of them took their position, ready to fight.
"One...two...three...begin!"
"Abomination rise!" Ryu summoned a giant monster made of a purple goo, seven meter tall and ready to attack Itachi. Considering the size of his creature, the young man must have trained hard to reach this level and must have been a fearsome fighter.
Too bad he saw Itachi's eyes.
"What the.." Ryu was breathless as he was suddenly crucified without warning.
He was in an empty field, bound to a cross with the eleven years old in front of him
"This is tsukuyomi, in this illusion I can control everything."
An illusion, he didn't have to be afraid, it was the weakest of the nine covens and coming from a child he would just have to wait till he got exhausted from using that spell.
That's what he thought until he was stabbed "AAAAAAHHHHH!"
"Your feelings." The boy in front of him said in a monotonous tone. "Space." Another one said before stabbing him.
He was suffering. He could feel steel tearing his flesh, just what kind of illusion was that?
"You can't talk unless you give up." A third one was coming and he felt the pain again.
Giving up, Ryu would never accept it. He worked all his life to join the emperor's coven. All his years of hard work, all the sacrifice he made…. for what? giving up?
"Even if it's an illusion. There is a limit to how much pain your brain can take. Give up before your mind breaks."
Never, he would never give up. No matter how many times he would stab him.
Then saw more and more Itachi coming toward him, all of them wielding a katana. An army was surrounding him.
"It has been a second since the torture started. Tsukuyomi will last for seventy-one hours, fity-nine minutes and fifty eight seconds " All of them declared before continuing the torture
No one understood what happened, one moment the two opponents were facing each other then Ryu fell down just after he summoned his abomination.
The duel lasted a second.
"wi...winner Lance Blight."
Itachi thought it was a shame, Baeksan endured the seventy-two hours of torture, his opponent had an incredible willpower but the stress broke his mind. There were few chances he would recover.
Itachi could just walk back to his sister. Ignoring the crowd who watched him in awe.
Despite his appearance Itachi lost a great amount of magic, It was only thanks to his experience as a shinobi and fighting for years his illness that he managed to deceive everyone in the arena.
For a strange reason, he still possessed his sharingans and mangekyou but his new body wasn't able to use them at their full potential without the uchiha's bloodline.
His dôjutsu was draining much more energy than before. Although he could use the powers granted by magic and his knowledge to mimic their powers but it was still at the cost of a great amount of magic.
Thankfully, the sharingan and his skills as an ANBU were more than enough to make him a fearsome fighter.
Sure he could have ended the fight with less effort if he used his shinobi skills but the whole point of the duel was to put on a show.
And judging by the covens'heads reactions he succeeded.
The witches were organized like the shinobi sistem with just a few differences. The children had to choose their studies between nine covens : illusion, construction, plant, potion, beast keeping, oracle, healing, bard and abomination.
The emperor's coven was reserved for the elite, the best of witches of the Isles.
Each coven has a leader called a coven head, they would look for potential recruits in their covens and because of that they got a special booth to see the fight.
"Amazing." The illusion's head said in awe. He was a witch with two mirrors for earrings.
"Did you notice something?" The healing coven's head asked him, he was a tall man, his face was covered by a mask and thus it was hard to determine what his race was.
"He casted an illusion at the start of the fight. It was so powerful that he shattered his opponent's mind."
"But it lasted a second!" The construction coven's head exclaimed.
"Meaning it's probable that this child also perturbed his perception of time." The leader of the healing coven knew it was possible to use magic to influence the brain but such a level was unexpected from an ordinary witch. Even less from an eleven years old.
"So he should join the illusion coven?" The construction leader asked.
"No, his level is far above my underlings. The emperor will want him, no he must have him in his coven." The illusion master knew everything from the art but even he would struggle to create such a powerful illusion. To see someone so young doing it in a second made him speechless.
"YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS!" The head of the abomination's coven. Darius, exclaimed. "He is only eleven and you're considering his demands!" He turned to the head of the emperor's coven "Lilith, you know how absurd it is."
Lilith was a pale woman with dark hair; a lot of people in the Isles would describe her as stunning. "Truth to be told, Yes it sound absurd to let a child join our coven but it would be madness to turn him down." Lilith looked angry. "He is a child who won against someone of our coven, someone YOU choose."
True, Darius hated the patriarch of the Blight family and thus chose Ryu Baek to crush the hopes of his son to join the most envied of covens. Only for this child to make a fool of the emperor by beating one of his soldiers in a second.
"And why would he apply to the emperor's coven now? I thought he wanted to wait until he reached eighteen before entering the illusion coven." Darius tried another attempt to prevent Itachi from joining the rank of the elite.
It was no secret that Hexide's top student was a pacifist and would career path were he would never have to fight. Truth to be told, a lot of people were disappointed by his choice to join the illusion coven.
Only for them to be astonished when the Blight graduated from Illusion track with the highest degree ever recorded in only two years. He was personally approached to join the illusion coven before he turned down the offer as he wanted to enjoy his freedom as long as he could.
"I don't know, He just came yesterday with his sister asking for us to give him a job in our coven and a home for both of them." Lilith explained, although considering who Lance's parents are, people got some ideas
"Oh… Guess the Blights didn't raise the perfect son after all." Darius sneered.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to accept his demands.
When Itachi entered the castle, he was given a room for him and his sister, Amity, was waiting for him in the room.
Amity knew her big brother was the best. He graduated from Hexide in only two years and was offered a place at the illusion coven at ten.
He was only two years older than her and yet he did so much more. He was a genius, a prodigy and yet he always made time for her and took care of her.
She loved how he would read stories for her at night, play snowball at the titan's knee or even teach her some amazing spells and interrupt whatever he was doing just to spend time with her.
He also comforted her after what happened on her birthday with Willow.
That's why she didn't hesitate when he asked her to come with her. She didn't know what happened between him and mother but it was quite bad, mother was yelling and when she quieted down he left her office and told her and her siblings to follow him.
Edric and Emira didn't want to, afraid of leaving home but she wasn't afraid so long as Itachi was with her.
"You won?" She asked him when he came back in their room.
"Yes, we should be able to move on soon." He declared before he sat on a chair.
"You used Suki-yummy again?"
"Tsukuyomi. And don't worry, I'm not blind yet." He declared.
Amity looked at her brother. "Did you ask to join the emperor's coven for me? You didn't have to…"
She didn't finish because Itachi poke her forehead "Ouch."
"Don't meddle in grown up stuff. I joined the coven because I wanted to." He smiled at her. "Besides you will enter Hexide next week, you should prepare for that.
Amity rubbed her forehead. "You're just two years older than me."
"Meaning I'm a grown up unlike you."
She knew her brother was just trying to make her forget about her worries but she played along and to be fair he wasn't wrong. If she goes to Hexide there are chances she will see Willow there.
Maybe she could try to patch things up with her now that she lives away from her parents.
I just wanted a fanfic where Amity got a brother to support her and I thought that Itachi would be great for her.
Anyway, some points on the fanfic: It's Itachi after the fight with Kabuto (I'm sure everyone knows it already)
He still has his sharingan and mangekyou because as far as I'm concerned, if Obito can give sharingans to kakashi just like that so why don't we just say that sharingans are connected to the soul?
But while he has them his body isn't made for that, worst he can use some of his jutsu by using magic instead of chakra but it can cause some problems because of magic very nature.
The sharingan still give him the ability to copy every spell he sees.
Itachi is somewhat okay with the Isles' situation because it's still better than the savage ages, which he had to do in the Akatsuki of his tasks as an ANBU.
I hope you liked it
