Broken Angel
Chapter 3: The Incident
It had been a week since Narumi had activated her Sharingan. She and Shisui had been training with it nonstop, and like everything else, she took to it, like a fish to water. She already had two tomoe in both eyes, and she felt her power soar with each passing day. With the power of the Sharingan, Narumi was now able to learn techniques even faster, she would just copy them, and then master them. Most Uchiha made that mistake, they would just copy a technique, never work on it, or master it in any way.
Shisui hadn't told anyone about her Sharingan, not even Itachi, he wanted it to be a surprise for when he showed up for training again. Shisui was sure that by the time her Sharingan fully matured, she would finally surpass him. She'd already won a few of their fights, by using her Sharingan to avoid his attacks, and then just outlast him. It would be a while before she was more skilled than he was, but skill wasn't the only thing that mattered in battle. In a fight, every variable could ultimately be the deciding factor.
"You're doing amazing Narumi. I suspect within a month your Sharingan will be fully mature. That's impressive." Shisui told her as the two stopped to rest for a few moments.
"Thanks... I've been working really hard. I can't wait to get the third tomoe." Narumi replied happily.
"Soon. At the rate you're going it won't be that long." Shisui stated.
"Yeah... thanks." Narumi replied as she smiled.
Shisui couldn't help but smile at his surrogate sister. She was progressing so quickly, and she wasn't nearly as violent as she had been when they first met. It seemed that by associating with people, she was finally starting to trust others and come out of her shell.
When she wasn't so reserved and shy, Narumi had a bright and bubbly personality. She was fun and playful, a mirror image of her twin sister.
"Hey, brat... I've got a mission tomorrow, but once it's finished how would you like it if I took you to the Uchiha compound to meet the rest of the clan? Itachi's got a little brother your age, I'm sure you two would like each other." Shisui offered.
"Really?" Narumi asked, her eyes lighting up at the prospect of having yet another friend.
"Really. I'll take you there as soon as I get back." Shisui said as the little girl cheered with excitement.
"Thanks so much Shisui. You're the best!" She cheered as she ran up and hugged him. After a moment she pulled away and blushed, obviously embarrassed by her sudden outburst.
"Ha... you just wait until I get back, I'm sure the rest of the clan will be happy to meet an awesome girl like you." Shisui stated with a warm smile as he patted her on the head, causing her to blush again at the compliment.
"You know if I ever had a sister... I'd want her to be just like you. You're a good girl Narumi... Don't let anyone tell you differently." Shisui told her as he gave her a hug of his own.
"You're my best friend. I want you to know that." Narumi said to him and she hugged him tighter.
"I do... it makes me really happy to have a friend like you Narumi. You keep up the hard work, I'll see you when I get back." Shisui replied trying his absolute damnedest to remain manly and cool, and not break into tears. After another moment the two parted and offered each other bright smiles.
And with that Shisui said his goodbye's and headed off. Narumi watched him leave with a happy smile. She would be counting the days until he returned, she couldn't be more excited.
-Five days later-
Narumi sat in a tree at her usual training ground, it had been more than a few days since Shisui had left and naturally the girl was getting impatient. She couldn't wait until he returned.
"Narumi!" A voice called out to her. Narumi immediately shot up and jumped out into the field, expecting Shisui to be there. Instead, she found Kakashi waiting for her.
"Narumi... there you are, I've been looking for you." Kakashi stated.
"Kakashi? What are you doing here?" Narumi asked.
"I was looking for you. I wanted to see how you were doing." Kakashi replied, he obviously wasn't in a good mood, if the inflection of his voice was any determining factor.
"I'm fine. Just waiting for Shisui to come home from his mission." Narumi replied.
"Waiting for Shisui...? Wait... has no one told you what happened?" Kakashi said as his eye suddenly fell to the ground.
"What do you mean?" Narumi asked curiously not liking the way Kakashi was acting.
'Gods don't tell me!' Madara swore in her mind.
"I'm so sorry Narumi... Shisui killed himself a few days ago." Kakashi told her as he finally locked eyes with her.
"... What...?" Narumi asked as her whole world suddenly came crashing down.
"I'm sorry Narumi. His body was found in the lake a few days ago. It looks like suicide." Kakashi informed her, sorrow was evident in his voice.
"He's dead? No! No! How can he be dead? I just saw him a few days ago... how..?" Narumi felt tears begin to roll down her cheeks and her eyes suddenly began to burn.
"I don't know what to say. It surprised us all. I've known Shisui for years. Suicide... it just never seemed like his style. I'm so sorry Narumi I know how much he meant to you." Kakashi stated, as he took a step towards her, and placed his hands on her shoulders.
Narumi let out a growl as she shook his hands off and stormed away, stopping several feet from Kakashi.
"No. Shisui... Why? Why would you do this? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, SHISUI?!" Narumi screamed as she dropped to her knees, tears fell freely from her eyes, and her chest started to hurt. She kept replaying the last thing he said to her.
"'I'll see you when I get back'" Those words... why? Why would he lie to her like that? That's all she could think about. Why would he say that, and then kill himself?
"Damn it! Damn it all! Shisui... YOU GODDAMN FUCKING LIAR!" Narumi shouted, rage and sorrow evident in her voice.
Narumi shot to her feet, her hands flying to her head, as her eyes once again throbbed in pain.
"Narum..." Kakashi tried to say but was cut off when Narumi let out an ear shattering scream. Kakashi had to cover his ears, her scream of sorrow and rage was so loud, it was unlike anything he'd felt before. This scream was filled with magic. Raw, undiluted magic.
He felt the ground rumble a bit, saw small pebbles lift into the air. He saw the air around her distort and shift, almost as if the space around her was bending and twisting in accordance with her pain.
Narumi's hands were now both clutching her face, covering her eyes. She was still screaming, at the top of her lungs, the sorrow in that scream, the sadness, and rage, it tore into Kakashi's soul, it was a sound he would gladly kill himself to never hear again.
From within her, Madara observed the event, not quite sure what to make of it. For a moment, he expected her to reawaken her Rinnegan, the power that tore out from around her was enough to make him think it so.
Flashes of her time with Shisui shot through Narumi's mind, as she felt her heart break more and more, every time she remembered him smiling at her, or complimenting her. "Shisui... why would you do this to me? I thought... If it hurt so much... if you were hurting, why didn't you come to me? Why did you have to kill yourself? Why? How could I let this happen?!" Narumi shouted; her eyes felt like they were on fire.
"'It makes me really happy to have a friend like you.'" She remembered him say.
"Why Shisui? Why would you say that if you hurt so much? Why would you leave me?" Narumi cried.
Kakashi wanted so badly to wrap his arms around her. To hold her tight and try to alleviate some of her pain. This girl was like a sister to him, and he couldn't even get close enough to console her, all he could do was stare at the immense power she was letting off, with amazement and fear.
'Narumi... I know it hurts... but before you do anything rash, save your friend first." Madara ordered. His words broke through to her, allowing her focus to return.
Narumi glanced over her shoulder at Kakashi, she found him still standing there, watching her with concern, and worry.
Kakashi watched as everything settled down. He watched as the air returned to normal, and the floating pebbles fell back to the ground. Narumi's screaming had stopped, and he could see her looking at him.
"Narumi?" Kakashi asked taking a careful step towards her.
"Kakashi... I don't want you to get hurt... Please leave." Narumi said, her eyes slightly obscured by her hair.
"Narumi, I don't think..." He began to reply but froze when he caught sight of her eyes. While he couldn't see her eyes completely, he could see a bright red glow coming from behind her hair, and knowing what she was, he knew what the glow meant.
"Could that be...? That's impossible! She only has its soul. It can't be the cause of this." Kakashi thought to himself in a moment of panic.
"Be sure to tell the Hokage not to send anyone here for a little while. I don't want any blood on my hands." Narumi told him as he backed away.
"Please don't hurt yourself." Kakashi thought as he finally Shunshined away.
'What do you need?' Madara asked.
'Something to relieve this stress... I just wanna sleep right now.' Narumi replied.
'Okay, copy this.' Madara ordered, and suddenly Narumi saw handsigns flash through her mind, her Sharingan easily copied the technique and she quickly spun away from the direction Kakashi had left in and sped through about Sixty hand signs.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Kakashi was about two hundred yards off when suddenly a wall of fire one hundred feet high shot into the air. It raced across the whole field and turned the place into scorched glass.
He stopped his retreat and turned his gaze back towards the event, watching in astonished disbelief.
Shinobi all over the Leaf felt or saw the wall of fire at one of the training fields. Whatever that technique was, it was definitely of much higher rank than what was usually practiced in the village.
Minato spun around in his chair and looked out the window of his office. He could see clear as day, a wall of fire that stood tall above the tree line at one of the training grounds. For some reason seeing that jutsu gave Minato the strangest feeling of deja vu.
Anbu arrived at the field a few minutes later to find it deserted. There was no one around that could be seen or felt. The Anbu, quickly set to work putting the fire out, it was a daunting task that took nearly an hour and a lot of water style techniques.
-Later-
Narumi had started living in an old warn out apartment building that was pretty much vacant a couple of weeks back, and aside from the roaches and occasional leaking it wasn't that bad, though it was dark, and dank, and it made her loneliness worse, she didn't like spending time there.
"What is wrong with my eyes?" Narumi asked as she stared at her reflection in a mirror.
'I'm sorry child... you have awakened our cursed eyes second state... the Mangekyou.' Madara replied.
"Ah... I see." Narumi stated as she glanced at her new eye design, normally she would be excited to learn about her new eyes but right now she could only feel anger, sadness, and apathy.
Narumi did take note of her Mangekyou's design, it was a black three sided star (AU: It's just like the three sided star in Sasuke's EMS)
'Narumi... I need you to do something for me.' Madara said to her.
"I'm not in the mood grandfather." Narumi replied as she wandered over to her bed and sat down.
'I know, just please do this for me. I will not allow you to go blind from using those eyes. Follow my instructions, please.' Madara asked of her.
"Fine. What?" Narumi responded, after letting out a tired sigh.
'Use the summoning jutsu, but when you use it, think the name Zetsu.' Madara told her.
"Whatever." Narumi said as she did as she was told.
Narumi bit her thumb and flashed through the necessary handsigns and slammed her palm into the ground. A moment passed as the seal characters appeared, when suddenly a poof of smoke occurred, and when it cleared, a strange looking man/plant/creature was there.
"Gah... what the fuck are you?" Narumi yelped in surprise.
"Me? You're the one who summoned me! Who the hell are you, and how do you know us?" Zetsu asked as he shot forward and grabbed the girl intent on squeezing the information out of her. He stopped however when his chakra made contact with hers and a very familiar voice shouted for him to stop.
"Master Madara... is that you?" Zetsu asked aloud, shock present on his face.
'Yes Zetsu... I need to explain a few things, and then I need you to do some things for me.' Madara replied.
"Anything master." Zetsu replied.
From there, Madara spent the next hour explaining who Narumi was, and what had happened in the years since her birth. Zetsu listened intently, and in turn told Madara what Obito was up too. Madara had very little clue about the Moon Eye plan, as the piece of himself that he put in Minato, had been placed there years before Madara had met Obito. Memories from after that moment were fuzzy and disjointed. Madara guessed his older self-had slipped into the Curse of Hatred after his son went missing. It was only because he was in Narumi, did this Madara even know that Minato was his long-lost son, considering the man looked nothing like him anymore.
Eventually Madara explained what had happened recently.
"That is sad, young mistress. I am sorry about your friend." Zetsu offered his sympathy.
"Thanks." Narumi replied bitterly. She had been listening intently to their whole conversation and was currently plotting Obito's death for loosing the fox upon the village and putting her in this situation. Though one thing did throw her for a loop, when Madara explained what really happened when Voldemort came to kill her and her sister.
"So I'm the real Girl-Who-Lived?" Narumi asked.
'Yep... killed a dark lord at a day old. That's my granddaughter.' Madara responded proudly.
"Wow... all these years and that bitch has been taking credit for something I did." Narumi thought bitterly.
"So, what do you need me to do now master?" Zetsu asked.
'I want you to get me my old eyes and bring them here. I want you to transplant them into her. We're directly related so she'll be compatible. And then I want you to return to Obito, you'll tell him nothing that happened here, and you will report on his movements. He has to come for the fox spirit, and when he does, she is going to kill him.' Madara ordered him.
"You're giving up on the Moon eye plan?" Zetsu asked, with a bit of shock.
'Yes... I lay all of my hope for the future in this child... I've seen what she is capable of achieving. I know that she'll build a better world. Besides, she has me to help her.' Madara replied, and even though he didn't have a body, Narumi could tell he was smirking.
"Very well master, I will be back." Zetsu said as he offered Narumi a polite bow and then sunk into the ground.
'So um... why does he need to transplant my eyes?' Narumi asked.
Madara let out a sigh before explaining how the Mangekyou worked, and about how the user would go blind after a while. Madara knew that she would need that power one day, and he wasn't going to let her go blind from it.
About three hours later Zetsu returned with two boxes, one small and one large. The large one held medical supplies, while the other held a jar that had two floating Sharingan eyes in it.
'Are you ready?' Madara asked.
"Sure... let's do it. I'll need this power to kill Obito... and Minato." Narumi replied.
'Out of curiosity why Minato?' Madara inquired.
'Shisui must have been worked into the ground. He must have been forced to do things he didn't want to. The stress must have caught up to him. Minato was the cause of that stress. That may not be true, but the thought makes me feel better.' Narumi replied.
'Understandable' Madara said, offering her a metaphorical nod of approval.
"Alright let's begin. You'll need to keep your eyes covered for a few days when I'm done. I won't be here when you wake up." Zetsu told her as he flashed through some handsigns, and suddenly Narumi fell asleep.
A couple of hours later Zetsu finished wrapping up Narumi's head.
He then placed a hand on her head and channeled his chakra into her.
'Master. I'm finished. What would you have me do with her eyes?' Zetsu asked.
'Put them into a storage scroll, and seal them into her body, in case we need them.' Madara replied.
Zetsu nodded and did just that. When finished, he cleaned up and promptly left, leaving no trace of himself behind.
-A few days later-
Narumi wandered through the village. She could only just barely see through the cloth around her eyes. People took notice and whispered of her condition. Some were happy to see her in such a state, some were curious, while others were worried.
Narumi hadn't spoken to anyone in the past few days. She hadn't seen Kakashi, or Remus, though she knew both of them were looking for her. She hadn't gone to Ichiraku's either. All she wanted to do was wallow in her sadness. Madara didn't comment on it. In his opinion, her reaction, sadness, depression and apathy, were better than his own, when in a similar situation years ago.
"...Just you wait. We'll find proof and when we do. That bastard is dead." Narumi heard an angry voice from just around the corner of where she was.
"I still can't believe Itachi would do that. I mean they were best friends." Another voice stated, drawing Narumi's attention.
"Well believe it. You should have seen the look on his face when we confronted him, he's obviously guilty. We'll get proof, and then that boy is going down." Yet another voice added in.
"Shisui will be avenged. That bastard Itachi wont escape justice for long." The first man spoke again. The three men's voices were fading as they moved away. If they had stayed, they may have heard the light growling of their eavesdropper.
"Itachi... you killed Shisui? Why?" Narumi growled, clenching her fists so hard it hurt.
'Sadly, the boy may have fallen to the curse of the Uchiha and killed Shisui to obtain the Mangekyou.' Madara offered his thoughts.
"That son of a bitch!" Narumi said aloud. "I'm going to find that fucker... and TEAR HIS GOD DAMN HEART OUT!"
The people around scurried away in terror at her outburst, hoping and praying that they weren't the target of the young girl's wrath.
-Two days later-
Narumi sat up in bed, today was the day to remove the cloth and begin training her eyes. She quickly went to the nearest mirror and prepared to remove the cloth.
'Now... my eyes were already at the stage of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, plus I had Senju DNA in my body, so I have no clue what your Eternal Mangekyou will be like.' Madara informed the girl as she removed the cloth.
She slowly opened her eyes, letting them adjust to the light of the room. After a couple moments of squinting, her vision finally came into focus. She looked into her red eyes, and immediately noticed the new pattern, the three-sided star was still present but now there was a new pattern around the star. Madara told her that the new pattern was the same as his old EMS.
(Basically, think Madara's EMS, but with a three-sided star in the center that connects to the three circular parts of Madara's EMS*1)
"Hm... I like them... please grandfather, teach me how to control the power of these eyes." Narumi asked with a wild look in her eyes, as her new Sharingan glowed ominously.
'Of course, my girl. With this power, your dear cousin Itachi will fall before you.' Madara replied with a vicious snarl, at the name of the man who had caused his grandchild so much pain.
-Three days later-
"I'm sorry Sasuke." Itachi stated sadly as he looked down at his little brother's unconscious form.
'Time to go.' Itachi thought as he turned to leave, when suddenly he caught a glint heading right for him. Itachi barely dodged as two kunai went flying by.
'What the hell?' Itachi thought as his eyes darted towards where the kunai had come from. His eyes widened in shock as they spotted his attacker. There, no more than twenty yards away, was Narumi Namikaze and she looked pissed.
"Itachi Uchiha! I came here intending to beat some fucking answers out of you, but guess what I find when I get here? That's right about eighty dead Uchiha, men, women, fucking children! A small part of me thought there might be a reason for you to do it... but this... fuck! No... You deserve no mercy, you son of a bitch!" Narumi growled at him with so much hatred, it actually made Itachi sweat.
It took a moment, but Itachi was able to regain his composure. Afterwards, he adopted a neutral expression as he focused all of his attention on her.
"It was foolish of you to come here. The Uchiha were my only targets. Had you stayed out of this, I would have let you live." Itachi stated coolly. He didn't like threatening her, it was too much like threatening his brother, it just made him feel wrong, but he knew he had to.
"No, Itachi... it was foolish of you to remain in the village. Did you think I wouldn't figure it out? Well, I did. I know you're the one who killed him! And now... I'm gonna kill you!" Narumi bit out through gritted teeth.
"So, you figured that out. I'm impressed. Not that it will do you any good now though." Itachi stated as he drew his sword. His Sharingan spun to life, and as it did it came upon a shocking sight. The three tomoe'd Sharingan was present in Narumi's eyes as well, at his surprised expression she let a devilish grin cross her face.
"Surprised? I'm guessing Shisui never got around to telling you about my Sharingan? I guess it doesn't really matter. It's not like it would have done you any good." Narumi through his words back at him.
'How is this possible? No! I can't worry about that now. I need to worry about getting out of here. I have no idea what Shisui taught her in the last couple of weeks, and with a fully mature Sharingan, plus her massive stamina and reserves, my chances of victory have fallen dramatically. I'm gonna have to use it, I only have one chance though, so I need to time it perfectly.' Itachi thought as he launched his attack.
Itachi raced at her at top speed, he brought his blade down to slice her chest, but Narumi deflected the blow with her Tanto, she immediately channeled lightning chakra into her tanto, and cut through Itachi's blade rendering it useless.
Itachi growled as he tossed his ruined blade away and jumped away from Narumi's follow up strike.
Thinking quickly, he hurled several shuriken at her, they hit her, but her body simply popped, due to a substitution.
Itachi jumped away just as two balls of water slammed into his previous position. He spotted Narumi standing just down the street, so he quickly sped through some handsigns, it unnerved him to see Narumi copy his movements perfectly.
They both shouted, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Suddenly two enormous Fireballs appeared and slammed into each other, the two were equal in strength, and therefore the two giant fireballs held in place.
Narumi quickly brought her hands together in a cross pattern, and suddenly two clones of herself appeared at her sides. Both clones flashed through handsigns and shouted, "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
Itachi was shocked when he saw Narumi's fireball turn white hot and blast through his. Itachi had to jump back and grab Sasuke and then dive high into the air to avoid the powerful white-hot ball of flames.
He dropped Sasuke in a back alley and moved to confront Narumi again.
She was quickly on him, she dove at him with her Tanto, which had been infused with wind chakra making it as long as a sword. Her blade easily cut through Itachi's kunai. Itachi quickly used this opportunity to launch his plan.
"You've grown... but you still don't possess the power to beat me." Itachi said with a smile as his Mangekyou spun to life in his eyes. He instantly locked eyes with Narumi "Tsukuyomi."
"You've lost Narumi. This is the world of Tsukuyomi, here I am god." Itachi boasted as he prepared for her torture.
"So, you killed Shisui for these eyes, ay Itachi? Well... I wonder how well you can use them?" Narumi replied as her Eternal Mangekyou spun to life in her eyes.
"Damn!" Itachi muttered as pain shot through his eyes, he quickly realized the pain had come from Narumi's superior eyes, shattering his genjutsu.
"Shisui... his death meant that much to you, Narumi?" Itachi thought, as he quickly realized just where she had gained such eyes. "I'm so sorry..."
Itachi didn't have much time to contemplate how she had the Mangekyou because he was suddenly and violently punched by a skeletal fist that was bigger than him. This fist was a deep blue in color with specks of dark red floating in places.
Itachi knew immediately what this hand was. Narumi not only had the Mangekyou, but she could also use Susano'o, meaning she had already learned and mastered the powers contained within both of her eyes. Since she could break Tsukuyomi Itachi could only conclude that at least one of her eyes had the ability stored within them, what the other eye held, he did not know.
"Damn..." Itachi muttered again as he began coughing up blood. He had been knocked back about fifty feet, and he had slammed into a light post. He was now in a similar situation as Shisui had been a few months back.
He internally berated himself for falling for the same blunder that Shisui had. He had underestimated her. A mistake that he hadn't thought possible considering, unlike others, he actually knew she was far stronger than she appeared. Still, he had allowed himself to doubt her skill, and it had potentially cost him dearly. The moment he saw her Sharingan, he should have anticipated the appearance of the Mangekyou due to her affection for Shisui, and how his loss affected her.
It was a mistake on his part, one he could not repeat, if he wished to survive. He hadn't been anywhere near full strength when this fight began, and she had come prepared to face him. He had spent a long night slaughtering his clansmen, a half-dozen battles had left him weary and exhausted. Using Tsukuyomi three times this night, had also greatly diminished his chakra supply. He was most certainly in a bad position.
Itachi took a moment to collect his breath before glancing up. His eyes widened with unease, as he saw Narumi walking towards him, Mangekyou alight in her eyes, her body encased in Susano'o. The unholy skeletal monster, with its glowing yellow eyes, the sight of it, made Itachi suddenly fearful for his life.
All he could do was watch as she got closer, once she was close enough one of Susano'o's Arms raised into the air, and a long blue blade materialized in it. Itachi knew that when she swung it, he would meet his end.
As that thought went through his head, he suddenly remembered his little brother, he spun around and realized that he was sitting right in front of the alley he had left Sasuke in.
"Shit!" Itachi thought as he dove back and grabbed Sasuke, he only had enough time to pick him up before the blade fell on the two of them. An explosion raced out from the impact of the sword and everything in front of Narumi for at least thirty yards was blown away.
"Finally. You've been avenged, Shisui." Narumi muttered coldly, her eyes beginning to bleed from her heavy use of them. It would be some time before she was proficient with such powers, even with Madara's aid. Still though, these eyes had given her the edge she needed to take on Itachi.
"That wasn't very nice." A voice that sounded exactly like her Grandfather spoke from the cloud of dust.
A moment passed and she quickly spotted two figures. She noticed a tall man wearing an orange mask with a flame design on it. He had only one eye hole, and she could see the Sharingan staring at her menacingly.
The masked man had his hand on the shoulder of one very alive Itachi Uchiha, in his arms was a likewise unhurt Sasuke.
"I was wondering what had taken you so long. I see you were caught up playing with Minato's spawn." The masked man stated, sounding amused.
"You really pushed that rescue Madara. A moment later and our partnership would be over." Itachi stated, just loud enough for Narumi to hear him.
"Sorry. I have a thing for the dramatic." 'Madara' replied, with a dry chuckle.
"So... you finally show yourself, Obito. I thought I would have to wait a little longer for you to show up, but I guess I was wrong." Narumi stated with a wicked smile, as she could clearly see the shock in Obito's eye.
Her words were caught by Itachi whose eyes also widened in surprise.
"You... how?" Obito sputtered out.
"Let's just say my grandfather knew Madara Uchiha, inside and out. You aren't him." Narumi replied as her Susano'o took on a more complete appearance. It grew muscle and its eyes changed from yellow to red.
"Well, you have to die now. Sorry, but I can't have anyone else knowing that." Obito stated as he drew a kunai.
"The only person dying today is you." Came another voice, as Minato and a horde of Anbu descended around the three Uchiha.
"Itachi now!" Minato shouted, and Itachi swiftly pulled out one of Minato's signature kunai and rammed it into Obito's unsuspecting gut.
Obito let out a grunt of pain, as Minato suddenly materialized in front of him, Rasengan in hand and tried to slam it into Obito's skull.
Before Minato could close the gap Obito's right arm instantly exploded into a wooden Spear, Minato saw this and saw the wooden branch aimed right at Itachi and Sasuke, thinking quickly Minato turned, touched Itachi, and teleported both him and Sasuke away from Obito. Minato then quickly reappeared in front of Obito, Rasengan still in hand, and drove it at Obito, sadly he was already too late, Obito activated his intangibility technique and Minato passed through him.
"You'll have to do better than that Fourth Hokage. It seems I've been played. Oh well, I got my revenge against the Uchiha anyway. Until we meet again." Obito chuckled and began to disappear.
"Damn... Spread out! Try and locate him." Minato ordered.
"My Lord... it's good you came when you did." Itachi spoke.
"What the hell happened to you?" Minato asked with concern.
Itachi simply let out a dry chuckle and glanced over at Narumi. Who was watching the situation intently. Susano'o still hung over her menacingly, and none of the Anbu wanted to get close.
"What are you doing here Narumi?" The Fourth asked with concern as his eyes fell onto the monstrous construct that encased his eldest child.
"Dealing with a problem. Explain why you haven't killed him yet or move aside and let me do it." Narumi barked out angrily.
"Wait! Narumi, Itachi isn't the one at fault here. This was a mission he carried out on my orders. The Uchiha were planning a coup. So, we dealt with them before they could. We were also trying to lure out the masked man. That's why Itachi had to stay in character and had to fight you." Minato explained, obviously unnerved by the demonic figure that hung over his daughter.
"I'm sorry Narumi. I didn't mean you any harm. And I didn't mean anything I said." Itachi stated.
"Be silent! Murderer! You killed Shisui! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!?" Narumi shot him a Sharingan enhanced glare.
Despite her fury, her vision was starting to blur. She had definitely taxed her eyes this night.
Minato and most of the Anbu were mesmerized by the domineering aura of the eight-year-old. The power and intimidation of the Mangekyou only served to enhance her presence.
"I didn't 'kill' Shisui. That was part of my cover. The masked man... Obito you called him. He thought that I had 'killed' Shisui, that's why he was willing to approach me in the first place. I had to maintain my cover." Itachi explained, he couldn't help but wither under his once little friend's angry gaze.
"You expect me to believe that?" Narumi growled as her Susano'o growled with her, causing the Anbu to back away in fear.
"It's true Narumi. The reason my clansmen suspected me was because I did in fact forge Shisui's suicide letter. I was there when Shisui died, but it didn't happen in the way you think, someone had wounded him, he was going to die from his injuries, so he instead took his own life. He was attacked by some unknown assailant who was after his eyes. Shisui knew of what was going to happen to the Uchiha so instead of just dying from his injuries, he had ended his life, so I could awaken these cursed eyes." Itachi told her, trying very hard not to break eye contact with her.
"Well, if you're so innocent here, then why did you kill all the Uchiha children? Surely, they couldn't have been part of your fucking Coup?" Narumi ground out, shooting her father a withering glare in the process.
"I didn't kill any of the children, the masked man did. I spared as many children as I could. Hopefully if he didn't find them, there should be a shed with about a dozen of them hiding in it." Itachi replied, this time he managed to hold eye contact with her.
Narumi glared at him for a few moments, analyzing him, before letting out an angered growl. "You... no. You know what? Just watch yourself Itachi. You step out of line once, and you'll find yourself dead."
A few tense moments passed before her Susano'o dissipated, and her eyes returned to normal.
She glared at everyone around her, before turning and walking away.
"Narumi..." Minato tried to speak but he was cut off when the girl shot him a glare that froze his blood.
"I recall stating I was done with you! Leave me alone!" Narumi stated as she walked past him and past the Anbu who parted to let her by.
All Minato could do was tremble as he kept replaying the look in her eyes when she glared at him. Her Sharingan had returned, and in it was a pattern, that was hauntingly familiar to him.
After a few moments of silence Minato sighed loudly before looking at the surrounding ninja, "Let's get this place cleaned up."
