Third Person POV
The Land of Sound.
...
...
Naruto and Akame landed in the forest near the village, where they were alone. Akame looked at Naruto with curiosity, while he just sighed and got straight to the point.
"As you've already noticed, you have new eyes... eyes that I've witnessed the power of in two different people..." Naruto began, recalling his experience with Itachi and that masked man.
"You mean like those who attacked our clan with strange abilities?" she asked curiously.
"Yes... Itachi and that ninja used a different eye from the Sharingan with strange shapes, the same one I saw when you activated it thinking I had died," Naruto commented.
"How could I have unlocked this eye?" She was still confused, not understanding why she had an eye she had never heard of before the massacre. She had always heard since childhood that the most powerful eye was the three tomoe and that the main prodigies of the clan achieved these eyes because not all Uchiha could evolve their Sharingan to that point.
"Danzo told me that this was an eye unlocked by killing your best friend, brother, or relatives, the strongest bond," Naruto began, with Akame making a grimace. "You must have felt guilty for my death since I took you out of the range of Danzo's attack," Naruto stated his theory.
"So you did that on purpose!" She widened her eyes before accusing him.
"Yes..." Naruto admitted while Akame seemed frustrated by that.
"You know what I thought!" She began, with a tear in her eye, upset with Naruto. "I thought you had died! That I had lost you! I don't care about stronger eyes as long as you stay alive!" She said, lowering her head while crying, still remembering the agonizing feeling of emptiness when she thought Naruto had died.
"It's all right." She felt Naruto touch her head at that moment, while he spoke calmly, "Everything was under control. What matters is that I'm fine, and you've become stronger." He said.
Naruto knew of Akame's feelings for him and wouldn't deny having a companion he could trust with his life, as long as she knew what she was getting into. But Akame was a child like him; maybe in a few years, he could think about having a family. Despite having a very dangerous life, he hoped things would calm down one day, still wanting both to return to his blood family and to have his own children.
"Promise you'll never do that again!" She demanded, feeling his touch on her hair. She raised her head and looked seriously at Naruto.
"All right." He said, nodding. "Now let's talk more about your eye," Naruto continued.
"Yes..." She murmured, wiping her tears.
"On the night of the Uchiha attack, I fought against those eyes, each with different abilities. The one who tried to kill you had the ability to become intangible or not with some space ability. He could disappear and reappear as if he were no longer in this world, but I sensed through my haki that he had to solidify at the moments when he could launch an attack. That's why I managed to strike him at the right moment and hoped he had died after destroying his heart, but that didn't happen... somehow, he managed to survive..." Naruto said while Akame listened attentively.
"Itachi had strange but different abilities. I saw him launch black fire through his eyes while blood dripped from them. That was dangerous even for me with a body of light..." He said and continued. "The second ability came when he cast a genjutsu on me, one so powerful that it could distort reality and make a person experience hours or days in a single second in the real world, according to what he was telling me in that jutsu," he explained.
"You managed to get out of something like that?!" she asked, surprised, never having heard of such a genjutsu.
"Yes, it seems that my conqueror's haki can break the laws of illusions, so illusions don't work on me," Naruto said before continuing.
"From what I understand... each eye has a unique ability. That masked man only had one eye and could use that strange ability. Itachi had two eyes and could use one ability with each," Naruto explained.
"And that giant he summoned?!" she asked, still remembering Naruto fighting that red monster.
"Yes, I was about to talk about that. Itachi had a third ability that summoned that thing, which I still don't know exactly what it was, but it was very dangerous. That sword made my haki scream to run away from there, and besides that, it has great durability on its own, but its shield was surreal, reflecting my attacks back at me," Naruto concluded, looking into Akame's black eyes.
"I don't know how all this works, but you'll need to be careful. Itachi fell at one point while using all those powers. It seems to have a great consumption, and I noticed him going blind..." he said in a serious tone.
"So this can blind me..." Akame commented thoughtfully.
"Yes, but the masked man seemed to use his abilities without limit. I want you to learn more about your abilities, discover how they work, but be careful and reserve them for moments when you really need them," he said.
"Yes..." she replied with a serious tone as well, understanding the gravity.

"We'll find a way for you to become stronger using these abilities, whatever they may be, in the future," Naruto said. If that masked man could use his abilities without being harmed like Itachi was, then Akame could benefit from that too.
"Should we train?" she asked him while her gaze returned to the village in the distance.
"No, it seems they are looking for us..." Naruto said, a bit frustrated, sensing ninjas from the village talking to Kimimaro while he planned to see what Akame's abilities were.
"Let's go," Naruto said as he began heading back to the village with Akame.
Naruto quickly approached and landed on the roof, followed by Akame. There were four ninjas from the village who hadn't bothered them so far, seeming to want to talk to him. Kimimaro looked at him, indicating that the matter should be decided by him.
"What can I do for you?" he asked, looking at the group.
"Lord Light... There is a group of ninjas from the Land of Water wanting to meet you outside the village..." they said.
"Land of Water? Didn't we kill their ninjas in the city to the north of here? Are they politely asking for revenge now?" Naruto mocked.
"That's not it, Lord Light... The Land of Water is in a state of internal war between the Mizukage and a resistance group," another ninja spoke with respect and fear for Light.
"I've heard about the civil war, although I don't have in-depth knowledge..." Naruto admitted. After all, he had heard many rumors in recent months and couldn't give an opinion with just the shallow information he had, but certainly, the direct attack by the Mizukage to hunt Kimimaro made the Kage an enemy for Naruto. "However, I still don't understand what you're getting at..." Naruto said.
"The ninjas looking for you are the rebels. They want you to carry out a job..." he said, and Naruto raised an eyebrow while Akame and Kimimaro waited for Naruto's response.
"Hm... We're without work at the moment, although we're very rich from the money we've taken and still have a large amount to receive from Konoha..." Naruto murmured. He was more looking to kill boredom than for money, so he raised his head to give an answer.
"All right, we'll meet with this rebel representative... But let it be clear, we'll kill them at any sign that this is a trap," Naruto said.
"Yes! The location scroll is with Bones," the ninja said while disappearing with his companions. Naruto landed on the porch, and Akame followed him.
"Here's the scroll he mentioned." Kimimaro threw it to Naruto as he opened it.
"Why are they looking for us...?" Akame couldn't help but ask.
"I have no idea, maybe to ally against the Kage who attacked us... The meeting is in an hour... Let's see what they want right now..." Naruto said as he closed the scroll.
"Pack everything up," Naruto requested as time passed and they didn't want to leave any of their belongings in this place.
Naruto looked at his companions after an hour had passed, and they left the mansion, heading out of the city to the east, where they would meet a group of ninjas with Kiri headbands.
"They are arriving..." Ao said while being escorted by more than twelve ninjas of the rebel alliance.
Light, Dragone, and Bones landed in front of them while the group stayed about ten meters apart, studying each other. Even for the members of Kiri, Naruto's group was dangerous and could be hostile to them due to the attack. The same could be considered for Naruto with the Mizukage sending new troops to destroy them, not that it would happen easily, but Naruto could sense his haki and saw no more hostility from them than the caution they had.
"You are from the rebel alliance of the Land of Water...?" Naruto decided to break the silence.
"Yes." The ninja with an eyepatch, Ao, replied to Naruto. "And you are Light... We received information about a Kaguya among you, probably the last one alive. We deeply regret this." Ao spoke while all the other ninjas surrounding them remained silent, looking like a kind of ANBU wearing masks with the mist symbol.
"..." Naruto didn't respond to that, nor did Kimimaro. He decided to get straight to the point. "What do you want with us? We heard about some job." Naruto said.
"Yes..." Ao said calmly as he took out a scroll. "We are after a Jinchuuriki of the six tails... We haven't been able to locate him, and we are in the middle of a conflict... We want to hire you to capture him." He said.
"You want me to kidnap someone...?" Naruto raised an eyebrow. After all, he had never done that and always refused such jobs. It wasn't enough to say it was someone who seemed like his sisters, and capturing him didn't help much.
Ao was quick to sense Light's discontent and decided to speak. "His name is Utakata. He fled due to the tyrannical actions of our Mizukage," he said. "We want him to fight in the resistance to free our country. We need his strength and his bijuu..." he said, but Naruto shook his head.
"Sorry, I don't do that kind of work. I don't like kidnapping people unless it's really necessary..." Naruto said as he began to turn away.
"Please..." Ao tried to call him, as Mei had said, Light could be the answer to their search, and it would shift the balance of the civil war if they brought Utakata and Mei convinced him to work with them. "Our Mizukage, there are strong indications that he is being manipulated by a Sharingan!" Ao didn't know why he had said that, but he tried to convince Light to accept the job.
Naruto immediately stopped, while Akame seemed shocked behind her mask. "Did you say he is being manipulated by a Sharingan...?!" Naruto murmured, looking again at Ao.
