Not much in terms of reviews,but what to do. I hope the reviews will come in numbers for the following chapters.
Spaghetti sauce:I'm a new writer, so it's a bit complicated for me, but trust me, I'm really trying to do better.And yes,This is a Naru/Fem Sasu fic.
Corpse Candle:Danzo won't be a grandfather figure. But he'll be the only person Naruto has. Danzo won't be able to train Naruto as a drone,as Hiruzen will be watching. Naruto will be like the regular Anbu. Can get hold of his emotions in a particular situation but has the capacity to show emotions when needed.Everyone will know Naruto's status as a jinchurki, but they won't hate him like Cannon.They will keep their distance from Naruto,as they still have the fear of nine tails. It wouldn't make sense if all the population treats Naruto like shit, knowing he's the son of their late hokage.
I do not own Naruto.
A few weeks later:
Itachi Uchiha was crossing through the land of grass village, "Kusagakure".He was passing through a forest area bordering the Earth Country. Bugs were buzzing, and birds were chirping. It was a good atmosphere. Itachi stopped near a ravine to collect some drinking water for his journey. Itachi bent over and cupped his hands to drink some water from the ravine. Suddenly, his senses started to go haywire. Something grabbed his leg, and it started to pull his leg towards the ground. He was sucked under the ground.Through the moonlight,he could see a large man towering over his head.Another six men dropped to the ground from the shadows of the trees.
"finally got the chance to meet the great Itachi Uchiha. The kin slayer," said the large man.
He is a very tall and brawny shinobi. He has dark eyes and short dark-grey-coloured hair, as well as a beard and a bulbous nose. He wears the standard Iwagakure shinobi uniform with a left sleeve, a right lapel,and bandages around his right arm.He is the son of the third tsuchikage,Kitsuchi.
Before Kitsuchi could say anything more,in a puff of smoke,there was a log instead of itachi in the ground.Itachi was crouched in a tree branch,a pair of three tomoe blood red sharingan blazing through his eyes.
"Reason of this untimely visit?"-Itachi asked in his monotone voice.
"Your deeds have spread out like wildfire in the elemental nations. We're here to make an offer for you. You've been labelled as a SS-ranked missing Nin from Konoha. Join Iwa,restart the Uchiha clan from there, and Iwa will stand with you against Konoha. Here's the official paperwork from the Tsuchikage." -said Kitsuchi, and he threw a scroll towards Itachi.
Itachi caught the scroll in his hands. He searched for traps but found none. Then Itachi opened the scroll and gave it a read. Kitsuchi started to grin from ear to ear,expecting Itachi to join them. Then, in a moment,the scroll started to burn in the ground. Kitsuchi started to grit his teeth and spat, "Hey,what the hell?".
Itachi gave an unimpressive look and said,"I've just left the village I was born in. What gives you the idea that I would join another? Leave before I decide to kill you all."
A new voice came out of nowhere. "I was hoping you would say that. Our battle will be the ultimate art. Because art is an explosion."-said a blonde man coming out from the shadows.He has slanted blue eyes and long golden blond hair which he wore drawn into a half ponytail with the rest hanging down freely. The bang hanging over his left eye.He wore a blue and grey kimono jacket with a fishnet under-shirt inside and khaki pants with sandals and a belt-like pouch with a chain and an Iwa forehead protector covering his forehead.
"Another well-known face from the bingo book. Deidara of the explosion release". Itachi said it out loud.
"Our second order is to capture you. Take your eyeballs out and claim the 100 million bounty on your head. So what's it going to be?" -asked Kitsuchi.
Itachi raised his head and said,"I was just buying time." and a black flame was thrown from his right eye towards Kitsuchi. He nearly dodged, but the Iwa Anbu behind him wasn't as lucky as him.The anbu burned to death by the flames of Amaterasu.In a flock of crows Itachi vanished.
Kitsuchi greeted his teeth."That bastard,he tricked us." Deidara landed beside him."I had told you not to trust him. We should've gone for him from the beginning," said Deidara. "Lay your traps. Give support from a distance. We will take him from the front,Split into Two groups.You two come with me" replied Kitsuchi.Two Iwa anbu came towards Kitsuchi and all of the scattered into the forest.
Itachi hid in a tree branch. He was counting his options. There were seven of them,so losing them was not an option. There has to be some sensory type of Shinobi; that's how they might have found him in the first place. "They have divided into two groups. I will have to take the Anbu group first,then I will deal with Kitsuchi."-Itachi thought to himself.
Amidst the dense forest, leaves rustled with tension as Itachi Uchiha faced three formidable Iwagakure ANBU.Moonlight filtered through the trees, casting eerie shadows on the battleground.Itachi's Sharingan eyes blazed crimson as he surveyed his opponents. The ANBU wore impassive masks, their intentions concealed. With a sudden burst of speed, they lunged at him.
Itachi moved like a wraith, dodging their synchronized strikes. Kunai clashed with kunai, and shuriken whizzed through the air. His Sharingan allowed him to anticipate their every move.The first ANBU, wielding a katana, attempted a swift slash. Itachi sidestepped, his cloak billowing like dark wings, and countered with a precise strike. The masked figure stumbled back, wounded but not defeated.The second ANBU, armed with twin daggers, closed in. Itachi's movements were fluid, as if he had become one with the shadows. He disarmed the ANBU effortlessly and incapacitated them with a genjutsu.
The final ANBU, a master of earth jutsu, hurled colossal rocks towards Itachi. With remarkable agility, he leaped between them, avoiding each one with graceful precision. When he landed, the earth beneath him erupted into a shower of sharp spikes. Itachi was struck, and then, in a flock of crows, he vanished. With two of their comrades incapacitated and their strongest technique dodged,the remaining ANBU knew they were outmatched. They tried to retreat into the shadows, but a searing hot fire dragon was launched from Itachi. Itachi watched them burn into ash, his Sharingan still ablaze. In the quiet of the forest,three of the Iwagakure anbu were dead.
Kitsuchi was not in a good mood. His sensory type Anbu has informed him of the demise of others. Suddenly, he could feel a disturbance in his surrounding area. "Stop playing games, Itachi. Come out and fight like a man." -Shouted Kitsuchi.
The air was thick with tension as Itachi, with his Sharingan activated came out from the shadows,his crimson eyes locking onto each of their movements.
Kitsuchi, the Earth Release specialist, stepped forward with his feet sinking into the earth beneath him. He manipulated the very ground, creating earthen spikes that shot toward Itachi with incredible speed. Itachi's Sharingan allowed him to predict the attack, and with blinding swiftness, he deflected the spikes with his kunai.
Deidara was molding clay into his hands from the shadows,fashioning a series of intricate explosive ball. With a maniacal laugh, he came out and sent them darting toward Itachi, each one a ticking time bomb. Itachi remained composed, using his genjutsu to distort Deidara's perception of time, causing him to detonate his own creations prematurely.
The two Iwagakure Anbu moved with lethal precision. They launched a synchronized assault, striking from the shadows with deadly precision. Itachi danced through the onslaught, his Sharingan allowing him to anticipate their every move. He countered their attacks with a fluid combination of taijutsu, leaving them bewildered by his speed and skill.
Kitsuchi and the anbu tried to attack Itachi from three directions.Sensing the danger Itachi waved hand signs and launched a searing hot fire ball towards them.In the chaos, Kitsuchi used his Earth Release to create a massive earthen barrier, shielding himself and his allies from the relentless flames.
Deidara determined, crafted a colossal clay dragon that soared above the inferno, diving down to strike at Itachi. However, Itachi's Susanoo, a colossal ethereal warrior, emerged to meet the dragon head-on.The clash of titans sent shockwaves through the forest, causing trees to topple like dominos. The battle had reached its peak,and the combatants were pushed to their limits.
Itachi was panting; he was out of breath. "This will finish it," said Itachi. Itachi started to gather chakra into his mouth and fired a fire dragon jutsu from his mouth. It was three times bigger than the previous one.Lastly, his eyes morphed into his mangekyo sharingan, and black flames were launched from his eyes to overpower the fire dragon jutsu.
Kitsuchi's eyes went wide as a dinner plate. Two Anbu jumped in front of him to create a mud wall. Two jutsus were clashing. But it was clear as crystal which one was winning. A crack started to appear in the mud wall. Kitsuchi tried to create an "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall". But it was too late. The two Anbu burned to death in front of his eyes. He took hold of Deidara and left the projectile of the fire dragon jutsu.
Both of them were out of breath. Itachi appeared in front of him in a sudden burst of speed and held a kunai to his throat. "This is your last chance. Leave." Kitsuchi lost his will to fight further. He looked at Deidara. He was unconscious. Kitsuchi took Deidara on his shoulder and left in a shunshin.
Itachi was panting. It took a lot out of him to deal with the Iwa Shinobi. Itachi was catching his breath. Suddenly, a distortion started to appear. Itachi looked behind him to see a man wearing a hooded cloak with red clouds in it. Face covered in a mask with a black flame coloured orange. Itachi greeted his teeth and spat, "Madara."
"Well, hello, Itachi,"greeted Madara.
He also added,"I've heard Konoha has declared you a SS class missing Nin."
"What of it?"asked Itachi.
"I've got a proposal for you. Join us,join Akatsuki. It's an organisation consisting of S class missing nin working towards world peace. All this bloodshed and everything wrong with this world is because of this accursed Shinobi system. We shall rebuild a new world. A world without conflict. A perfect world",proposed Madara.
"What if I don't agree with you?"asked Itachi with a poker face.
"The Shinobi world is rotten to the core. Someone has to do something. I'm going to be that someone. I will change this world. I need underlings to pursue this dream. Join me,and maybe one day you can go back to the hidden leaf and be with your sister,"said Madara, projecting killing intentions towards Itachi. The air felt heavy. Trees started to crack under pressure.
Itachi eyes morphed into his mangekyo sharingan, and he said,"Never ever bring my sister into anything. As for joining Akatsuki,I will join."
The pressure seems to be lessening in the area. Madara laughed and replied,"Wise decision". Madara's voice shifted into a serious tone:"Or I would've killed you myself. Never be a hindrance to my plan. You will hear this for the first and last time."
Madara added more:"I'm known as Tobi in the Akatsuki. A newcomer with no special jutsu. You will address me as such."
"Why hide your identity? asked Itachi.
"If words of Madara Uchiha being alive go out,there will be an uproar in the elemental nations. The hidden villages should enjoy this false peace."
And then Madara and Itachi disappeared into a rippled pattern vortex.
Itachi and Madara arrived in "Amegakure, the village hidden in the rain". Itachi followed Madara into a skyscraper. They were walking through a dark corridor. Itachi could see a room illuminated with candles. A shadowy figure was sitting on a throne.Godly presence was emanating from him. Then he opened his eyes. They were the eyes of the sage. The "Rinnegan".
He has most notably medium-length spiky orange hair, six piercings, a metal bar through each ear, three studs through the side of his upper nose, and one spike stud on each end of his bottom lip. He also had three piercings on each wrist, at least one on the upper wrist, and some just under his neck. His face is also a little pale. On his right thumb, he wore a purplish-grey Akatsuki ring that bore the kanji for "zero". He also wore a necklace.
Madara addressed Pein,"Pein,I've bought Itachi Uchiha as per our deal."
"Very well Madara,I'll inform Zetsu to inform all the other members to meet us here."-said Pein in his usual deep and commanding voice.
An astral signal was sent to every Akatsuki member through his rinnegan. In a moment, a woman with short, straight blue hair with a bun,amber eyes with lavender eye shadow, and a black labret piercing came. Her eyelashes were in a distinctive line. She has a large, light blue paper flower clipped to her bun. Her facial expression was neutral. She wore the Akatsuki cloak and her Akatsuki ring on her right middle finger, the kanji on it meaning "white". She also wore orange nail polish. It was also revealed that her headband is on her right hip; instead of the standard sandals and leg-warmers, she wore a pair of blue pants that also functioned as her shoes, with white high heels, inverting the organisation's standard colour scheme.
"Konan,all the Akatsuki members are gathering here. After everyone arrives, I will introduce Itachi Uchiha as our new member." said Pein, looking towards the woman.
A Venus flytrap-like creature started to appear from the ground. It had short, green hair. Under its Akatsuki cloak, there were two beings. One is completely black, and the other is white. It wore blue pants and sandals and had both legs wrapped in bandages, which hid the area where the black mass on their right leg merged with White's white foot. White, screw-like dots protruded out along the edges and collar of this creature. The black half wore the duo's green Akatsuki ring, which bore the kanji for "sign of the boar", on its right little finger. Their fingernails were painted pink, and their toenails were blue.
The creature bowed and said,"I've informed all the members about you wanting to see them. They shall be here shortly."
"Very well,Zetsu." said Pein in his commanding voice.
Another weird hunchbacked person appeared through the corridor.It has a unique and menacing appearance.It resembles a human-sized marionette with a grayish-blue, segmented body made of puppet parts. It's head has a grotesque mask-like face with sharp, angular features, and it wears a purple cloak-like garment with red clouds on it.It's arms are elongated and end in sharp, scorpion-like pincers. It also has a long, sharp tail and multiple mechanical limbs, making it a formidable and versatile opponent.
Itachi recognised it as a puppet.Itachi connected the dots and had an idea about who it was.Pein confirmed his suspicions.It was "Sasori of the red sand".A missing nin from sunagakure who is famous for his puppet arts.
"I've heard that a new member was supposed to join us,"said Sasori out loud.
"Indeed, we're waiting for the rest of the members to arrive before introducing him." -replied Pein in his commanding voice.
Two footsteps were heard from distance.Two men of equal stature entered the room through the corridor.
The first one was a very tall, tan-skinned man with long dark-brown hair.Easily the tallest in the room.His eyes had an unusual colouring: green irides, no pupils and red sclerae. Noticeably, despite his advanced age, he still appeared as a man well within his prime, retaining a very muscular build.He wears a black mask over his lower face.He donned a grey hood which covered his hair. His clothing included the traditional Akatsuki cloak, the Takigakure forehead protector with a scratch in the middle which symbolised that he was no longer loyal to it, and grey pants with matching shinobi sandals. He also wore brown nail polish and a dark green Akatsuki ring with the kanji for "north" was placed on his left middle finger. The various stitches on his body was the result of the unique technique that he possessed.
Itachi also recognised him from the bingo book. He was a missing nin from "Takigakure:The village hidden in the waterfalls." Takigakure is an allied village of Konohagakure. Itachi recognised Kakuzu by the various stitch marks on his body. Kakuzu was sent to assassinate the first hostage,"Hashirama Senju." But Kakuzu was unsuccessful, so he was banished from the village. In a last ditched attempt,he stole the forbidden jutsu of Takigakure and became a S-class missing nin.He was "Kakuzu of the Earth Grudge Fear."
The other one had long black hair and black-coloured cat-like pupils. He wore a slashed Amegakure forehead protector and had black markings around and below his eyes.He wore the Akatsuki cloak consisting of a black-coloured zip up robe with the zipper part being red.
Itachi didn't know this man,but guessed;he was the partner of Kakuzu.Pein introduced the man as "Kyusuke".He's an specialist in inter gathering.
The last man to arrive was a member of the seven swordsman from Kirigakure.He was a slender and tall shinobi — about the same height as the sword he wielded. He had no eyebrows, creases under his eyes, and a cross shaped scar on his right cheek. His hair and eyes were dark grey in colour and his hair was short and spiky. He had light tan skin. He also had a red grid-shaped marking covering his jaw. He wore a black tight-fitting sleeveless shirt with two light, thin stripes on his chest, a striped cloth belt and light pants along with black arm covers extending from his hands to his biceps.He also wore bandages around his neck and face which also covered his ears and, like most of the members of the Seven Swordsmen, also had pointed teeth. As a member of Akatsuki,he wore the standard Akatsuki cloak and a slashed Kirigakure forehead protector to symbolise his broken ties with the village, and had his fingernails and toenails painted green.
Pein stood up from his throne.Anticipation was rising.Pein started to speak in his deep commanding voice,
"As you're all gathered here,I'm going to introduce you to our new member.Itachi Uchiha of the sharingan."
Itachi came out of the shadows,his sharingan glowing in the dark room.
"From this moment on,you must reject the leaf.Slice your forehead protector.This will cut your ties with the village."-ordered Pein.
Itachi took out his forehead protector and placed it on the ground. He took a kunai in his hand and sliced a prefect horizontal line in the middle of the insignia of the leaf.
"From now on,you're Itachi Uchiha of the Akatsuki."-declared pain.
Tobi started to shout Itachi's name in a cheery voice."Itachi senpai is a member of Akatsuki.Pein sama will be happy with me.I'll become an Akatsuki member."
Everyone started to sweat drop.Pein sent a glare towards tobi.He stopped his antics and a di pressed look came to his face.
"Tobi will be good boy,give Tobi a chance."-said Tobi in a disheartening voice and ran out of the room.
"Our goal is to create peace through pain.We will take control of this world.we shall rule this world."-added Pein.
"That's a big goal to achieve."-itachi replied stoically.
"That's why we are recruiting exceptional shinobi's like yourself."-replied Pein.
Pein threw a ring towards Itachi.It was red and bore the kanji for "vermilion"Itachi wore the ring in his right ring finger.He also got the traditional Akatsuki cloak.He wore it and became a member of the organisation that will be infamous one day.
Pein looked at Juzo and ordered,"Form a two man team with Itachi.Your first assignment will be to go to the land of water and handle a clan business."
Juzo looked at Itachi and said,"Come newbie."
Itachi nodded and followed Juzo.In a moment they both left the room.
This is the end of chapter.As you can see it was Itachi centric chapter.The first portion of the chapter was not cannon,the second portion was a bit cannon.It was to introduce the members of the Akatsuki.
Next chapter we will see the early childhood of Naruto.There will be interactions between Naruto and Satsuki.Naruto will start his training.
Drop a review,It will help me a ton to do better and motivate me.
That would be all and thank you.
