“Yahiko!” Itachi said in an angry voice “I said no more- “
“Killing. Yeah yeah I heard you. I won’t kill him; I’ll just take his Sharingan”
I threw my katana at Kakashi’s head with such speed that he couldn’t dodge. I watched the sword plant itself right between his eyes. [It’s not like Itachi will kill me for taking out one more person]
Before I could make up an excuse for Itachi Kakashi’s body turned into water and flowed back into the river. My sword continued on its path and plunged straight into the river causing mini waves throughout the surface of the river. Asuma almost lost his balance but managed to stabilize himself.
I was genuinely surprised and looked in the direction of my senior members for an explanation
Kisame then said “A water clone? Heh. A mere copy ninja can use this many techniques from our village. Impressive”
“Clones huh, maybe it’s a bit too soon to underestimate the residents of this village. They may not pack a punch but they do have some impressive tricks” I said sounding impressed.
“You are joking right? Almost every Jōnin can perform a clone technique of some sort” Itachi said this while looking at me with confusion.
“Oh I forgot to tell you guys, I don’t know how to use chakra to perform all those ninja tricks, I can reinforce my body but that’s pretty much it for now”
Everyone present gave me an incredulous look teammates and enemies alike
Itachi couldn’t stop himself from saying “you haven’t started training any ninja techniques! You mean to say everything you’ve been doing up until now have been based on instincts?” .this was my first time seeing a shocked expression on Itachi’s face.
“I’m supposed to learn techniques from each member of Akatsuki; our leader said that it will be better if I learn them after witnessing their use in a combat environment. I think he didn’t bet on you two making me do all the work.” I said while faking a pout.
[wait the Konoha ninja have been a bit too quiet].just as I was thinking this I heard what sounded like a thousand birds chirping and felt a tingling sensation and static go through my chest.
“Hehehe, you should know clones are usually a setup for a counter attack. But experience is the best teacher.” Kisame said with indifference in his voice. [You would think that watching your teammate get stabbed though the chest would at least cause you to gasp, but no reaction from Kisame and Itachi. Heartless bastards]
I looked down at the lightning coated hand that just passed through my chest and smiled.
Asuma didn’t seem happy with my expression and said “I wanted to see you cry and beg for mercy when you died. Now that I see you smiling at deaths door I know that all this time you where hollow on the inside” [I have to admit that Asuma is tough. If I was him I would have gone insane or died from blood loss]
“Hahaha. ‘hollow’. I couldn’t have said it better myself” I grabbed Kakashi’s hand. This seemed to catch Kakashi and Asuma by surprise. [Of course you’ll all be shocked; none of you know that I already have a hole in my chest. But why didn’t I self-destruct, it’s like the chakra I stored in my hollow hole was disabled by Kakashi’s technique. It must be weak to lightning techniques.]
I grabbed Kakashi’s hand but before I finish crushing it electricity flowed through my body and I stumbled, he took this opportunity to retreat backwards. [I’m so stupid, his hand was literally glowing why grab it!]
“Fuck, time to end this” I reached into the air in front of my face preparing to put on my mask and transform. I felt a hand on my shoulder it was Itachi, his eyes had a new pattern which caused my instincts to scream danger. I stopped what I was doing and noticed Kisame had knocked out Asuma.
Itachi looked towards Kakashi and said “I’ll handle this. Kakashi I will show you why the clan of Uchiha was feared and reputed to be unmatched. The Sharingan… the bloodline limit’s true power. ”
Kakashi said “your technique will not work on me I have a Sharingan as well”
Itachi replied “it’s true that if you have Sharingan, you can resist this Mangekyō Sharingan a little. however… you cannot counter my Tsukuyomi”
As Itachi finished speaking I saw Kakashi drop to the ground and start panting. [What the fuck? The technique is no doubt effective but when looking at it from the outside it’s so plain. Well doesn’t matter I’ll get a chance to see it for myself when I get a Sharingan]
Kisame moved to Itachi’s side and said towards Kakashi “oh? You didn’t experience a mental collapse after going through that?” he then turned towards Itachi gave him a contemplative look and said “but Itachi-san… its dangerous to use those eyes too much” [what? Sharingan have a weakness. Now that I look at Itachi his eyes seem to be twitching. Hmm I’ll have to ask him about it later]
Kakashi said “is Sasuke what you are looking for?” [This guys an idiot; we just won the fight why would we tell you what our plans are]
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
“No. we are looking for the fourth Hokage's legacy” to my surprise Itachi actually replied Kakashi.
“Why would you tell him that? Whatever-“I focused all my muscled and used sonido once again and appeared in front of Kakashi. Kisame and Itachi didn’t have any time to react.
I slid three of my fingers into the edges of Kakashi’s eye; he screamed and held on to my forearm. “tsk tsk tsk ,it looks like you’re too tired to fight back, just relax it’ll be done before you know it.”
The whole process lasted two and a half minutes. Kakashi was conscious and screaming the whole time. I needed to pull the eye out without damaging it so I had to dig my fingers deeper into the edges of the eye socket. Once I was deep enough I began to pull, not to fast or I risk damaging the nerve endings, [damn this guy won’t shut up. It can’t be that painful right?] , Kakashi started begging for help but I ignored him and continued pulling and then, [pop], the eye was out. Kakashi was left bleeding on the floor “see that wasn’t so hard” I smiled looking at my new Sharingan.
“You didn’t even try to use any chakra to remove his eye, your whole technique was barbaric and inefficient” Itachi said while seeming to be holding something back. [Why is he angry? I didn’t kill the guy]
I stuck my fingers in my own eye and pulled hard. [Damn that hurts no wonder why Kakashi cried like a little bitch]I then stuck the Sharingan into my eye socket and waited.
“…” Kisame and Itachi looked at me as though they were fascinated “you still didn’t use chakra to transplant the eye, without connecting it correctly it’s useless. You need a medical ninja”
“What? None of you can do it why didn’t you tell me!”
“Heheheh. You didn’t ask” Kisame seemed to genuinely laugh this time
“Ok do we have any way to preserve the eye?”
Kisame and Itachi looked at each other before simultaneously saying “no”
[Dammit they are obviously lying to me. They must not want me to have a Sharingan. What should I do? Maybe give it back to Kakashi and hope he finds someone to preserve it]
“Hey Kakashi! You can have your eye back. Keep it safe until I come back for it… also try to unlock that Mangekyō ability” I threw the eye and Kakashi held onto it with gentleness and determination.
[Shit he’s definitely going to be gunning for me] as I left the whimpering Kakashi I heard a loud shout-
“Konoha strong whirlwind!” I found myself twirling in the air until I hit the treeline.
“What the fuck was that” I said while trying to find my bearings.
“Sixth gate of joy, Morning Peacock!”
“Morning what?” all I saw was a green shadow heading towards me at a speed I couldn’t fathom and then pain. [shit shit shit SHIT! WHAT IS HAPPENING]
I was receiving damage faster than I could take it. I felt helpless again. Then Kisame appeared in front of me and blocked what I suspect was a killing blow. [From now on I’m starting all my fights with my mask on. Ever since that green man arrived I haven’t had the chance to activate my Hollowfication. This is a lesson I plan to learn from]
Kisame smiled and said “that’s enough why don’t you go help your comrades instead of wasting your time trying to kill this brat. Who are you anyway?”
I am Konoha's noble green (*the anime translation says blue for some reason) beast…Might Guy! How dare you do this to my comrades I will not forgive any of you!”
Itachi then spoke “we are going to retreat; I suggest you save your friends. Kisame, Yahiko let’s go!”
As we ran away I looked back at guy. [I hate him for kicking my ass but damn I want to kick ass like him, wait am I forgetting something… oh yeah my sword] I stretched my arm out to my side and felt a hum of power leave my palm. In seconds my katana had found its way back to me.
“Hmmm. is that your swords ability?” Kisame asked me.
“Kind off…it’s more like I’m linked with my sword” I told him just enough that he would stop asking questions.
“Ok so where do we go now?” I asked Itachi and Kisame
“Ramen Ichiraku. It’s a famous Konohagakure restaurant. The owners name is Teuchi. He is information broker.” Itachi didn’t bother looking in my direction while explaining. [Maybe I went a little too far with Kakashi, I need to make amends with my teammates even if it means I have to be a good little solider and stay in line]
As we entered the ramen shop we were greeted by a kind old man. When he saw our faces he quickly led us into the backroom.
Itachi spoke first “we are looking for the nine tails. Naruto”
Teuchi replied “oh him. He is a daily customer it will cost you double.”
“Fine just be quick. We need location and any other important variables” Itachi said this as he handed the man a suitcase of money which he kept sealed inside a scroll.
While counting the money Teuchi said “the boy is short, has blue eyes and yellow hair. Always wears an orange jumpsuit. He is currently travelling with one of the legendary sanin, Jiraiya the great sage. Jiraiya is known for breaking the three ninja taboos, especially fond of women and alcohol. They are currently heading to a lodging town near the village. I recommended the flying swan hotel to them. Oh, I almost forgot, recently Naruto has seemed to have mastered a part of his nine tails chakra. It was revealed at the chunin exams. Have a nice day!”
As we left the Ramen shop I was disgusted at his lack of loyalty for his village. although when I think about it at the end of the day aren’t shinobi just government mercenaries, if I put out a contract on an innocent and pay enough I’m sure a Daimyo wouldn’t hesitate to order their ninja village to take the offer. It’s not surprising people are just fending for themselves in a world full of monsters.
As I was thinking Kisame said “perhaps you can fight him evenly… but I cannot. He is too strong.”
Itachi agreed with him “yes. If we both fought him, we would both be killed…or in a good case, we might kill him, but we’d die along with him. Even if we had more men that result would not change”
[These mother fuckers are having a team discussion without me. Was I that disappointing in the previous fight. I thought I held my own until that might guy showed up. Shit]
“Hey guys why don’t we use his weakness of women and alcohol against him?” I asked.
“…”Itachi then said “I was going to say that. The plan will be I will put a woman in a Genjutsu that will make her have sex with Jiraiya in a separate hotel. While he is distracted we get Naruto.”
I decided to make a joke at Itachi’s expense since her stole my plan. “I bet you use illusion techniques on all your girlfriends. Hahaha-sorry” I stopped laughing when I saw him tense up. [Maybe he did use an illusion technique on his girlfriend. With great power comes even greater perverts. Jiraiya and Itachi being my case and point]
Kisame and I awkwardly stood by while Itachi did his Sharingan roofie technique and pointed the woman towards Jiraiya”
[Time for phase two capture Naruto] Kisame knocked on the hotel door and when the yellow haired blue eyes answered the door I was sure of two things. One: He was Naruto, his description matched to the dot and two: we must have looked scary as hell because he pissed himself at the sight of a fish man, a red eyed douchebag and a white horned monster. [Yes I learnt from my past mistakes, mask on before you kick ass]
