Chapter 4

At work I kept spacing off and thinking about what I was going to do and about Itachi. The last thing I remember on the day my mother was killed was his eyes. His red sharingan eyes staring at me. Over the years I had obsessed over him. He was incredibly strong I knew and I had almost no chance of ever defeating him but I trained every chance I got. I trained my Shigan eyes especially. I worked on my special jutsu as well and collecting the energy from the moon. My mission was what kept me going and gave me something to strive for.

Itachi was someone I feared but yet someone who gave me determination. The tattoo he put on my arm was a reminder of what he had done. I still was unsure of its power but had a slight idea of what it could do. It could only be activated by Itachi himself and was a way to control me or rather put me through so much pain that I either did what he wanted or died. But that was about all I knew.

Walking down the streets after a rather horrible day of work I was still thinking and not really paying much attention to where I was going. I then felt myself bump into someone and looked to see who it was. “Oh sorry Naruto,” I said after recognizing him.

“Who should watch where there going now Chiyo?”

Cracking half a smile I respond, “We seem to bump into each other a lot don't we?”

“Yeah it seems to be the way we meet up with each other,” Naruto replies smiling. “So what are you doing tonight Chiyo?”

“I was thinking about training in a bit, why?”

“Why don't you have some ramen with me before you go train then?”

“Sure why not? Although I can't really stay as long as last time.”

“Fair enough. Why are you training at night anyways?”

“Well I work during the day Naruto. Besides I like to train at night anyways” Making our way to the ramen shop with relative silence the rest of the way.

“You seem different today Chiyo,” Naruto says after we ordered.

“I just have a lot on my mind Naruto,” I reply. Looking up I see Sasuke walk in. “Hey Sasuke want to join us?” I call over to him. I glance at Naruto who looks at me annoyed. Sasuke looks at me and silently walks over to us. Slightly surprised that he came over I motion for him to sit down. “So what were you up to Sasuke?” I ask politely. Sasuke merely looks at me and sits down.

“You know she asked you a question,” Naruto pipes up angrily.

“I know you idiot I'm not deaf,” Sasuke retorts.

“Well then answer the question!” Naruto shoots back.

“I'm going to choose not to because it's a completely useless question in the first place.” Sasuke replies.

“Well so what she was just being nice to you” Naruto replied. Seeing that this would only lead to a big useless fight I stood up.

“On second thought Naruto I should be going I'll have ramen with you another day” I look at Naruto who has a slightly hurt look on his face but I leave anyways.

Outside of the shop I can hear them arguing still.

“It's your fault she left Sasuke why do you have to be such an ass sometimes?”

“It's not my fault she left and what do I care anyways. I'm going to anyways.”

Already down the street and headed toward the spot where I had trained the other day I looked back and saw Sasuke walk out of the ramen shop. Continuing on my way without a slightest bit of caring I get a sudden idea. Turning around and finding Sasukes a ways behind me I stop and look at him. “Hey Sasuke do you want to have a quick fight?” I call back to him.

Looking slightly confused but skeptical he answered, “Sure if you think you can stand a chance against me.”

“Oh I daresay I can but you can see for yourself in a minute.” I reply.

“Where do you want to do this?”

“Follow me.” Walking slightly behind me Sasuke follows me to the clearing. “Ok let's fight here.”

Looking like he didn't care one way or the other where we fought he answered. “Ok then.” Without warning I throw 3 kunai aimed at his chest which he dodged quickly.

“You will have to do better than that if you want to beat me,” Sasuke calls out.

“I know I didn't expect to hit you with such a lame attack. Since I actually want to fight you to your fullest extent I'll quite with the antics.”

Rolling his eyes at me Sasuke replied, “Well then I will use my best.” Closing his eyes for a second he did what I predicted. He opened his eyes again this time showing his Sharingan.

Laughing a bit, I closed my eyes Shigan! Opening them once more I looked at Sasuke curious about his reaction. Sure enough he looked a little bit shocked but seemed to decide not to care. He started doing a series of hand signs and I saw him prepare to use his fire jutsu. I started to do a series of hand signs that would do my green fire jutsu. At the same time we used our jutsus and I saw the surprised look on his face as he saw my green fire and smiled. “Weren't expecting that were you?”

“Well your better than I though Chiyo.” Doing another series of hand signs that my eyes recognized as his chidori I did my own series of hand signs. Charging at her she countered by using a move similar to the chidori but different. For one hers was green and for another she punched him in the face while using it. Sasuke went flying a few feet but got up and looked at me like he was really surprised.

“Nice attack I wasn't expecting it”

“Thanks, though you shouldn't underestimate me just because I hang around with Naruto.” Our fight went on for several minutes and I ended up beating him. Letting out a small sigh of relief I walk over to him. I knew that if I couldn't beat Sasuke that there was no way I could ever beat Itachi. However I knew that I still couldn't beat Itachi anyways. “Here,” I say holding out my hand to him. Grudgingly he took it and I helped him up.

“Nice fight,” Sasuke says.

“Thanks it was fun,” I reply. I smile lightly at him and turn to walk away.

“Wait for a second.”

Stopping I turn around at him. “What?”

“You're eyes are so similar to mine why is that? And why did you suddenly appear here?”

Letting out a sigh I answer his second question, “I came here to complete something I've trained to do my whole life. Although I wanted more time to train” Sasuke notices how I ignored his first question and continues to look at my confused.

“You completely skipped my first question you know,” Sasuke says.

“Yeah I know you skipped my question earlier so I was paying you back.”

Scowling he replies, “Yeah but your question was utterly stupid and mine wasn't.”

Laughing slightly I respond, “I know but I don't really care I told you it was payback though.”

Hearing him sigh I think about answering his question. “Ok fine I'll tell you. We are similar in lots of ways though but the first and foremost way is our eyes. Mine are called Shigan and are almost exactly the same as your Sharingan.”

Interrupting me he says “Wait how did you know mine are called Sharingan?”

Sighing to myself I reply, “You know your family having the Sharingan is well known. Especially because of the power of your brother's Sharingan and the fact that he killed his whole family using them. Itachi is well known and I also know that you want to kill him.” Again Sasuke looked shocked at what I had just said.

“Why do you know all of this?” Sasuke asked.

“I know because I need to know about Itachi and his Sharingan. That's the other reason we are similar. We both want to kill him.”

“Why do you want to kill him? What could you possibly have against him?”

“He killed my family or what was left of it. I watched him kill my mother and now I want to kill him. I am the last Siyo and the last one with the Shigan power.” We sat there in silence for a while until suddenly my arm started hurting. I let out a sudden gasp and grabbed my arm. “Damn it!” I call out as waves of pain wash over my body.

“What's with the sudden cursing?” Looking over at me he notices the look of pain on my face and stops talking.

“Why is he coming now? Of all the times he chose now when I'm nowhere near ready.” I say talking to myself. I can tell Sasuke is staring at me but I don't care as the waves of pain increase. I know why is coming. It is because I'm not ready to fight him and because I will loose. Punching the ground suddenly I curse under my breath. “Damn you Itachi couldn't you have chosen tomorrow!”

“What? Did you just say Itachi is here?” Sasuke says his interest at 100%.

“Yes and here is our chance to loose to him again. Neither of us is ready to take him on yet.” I look over at Sasuke seeing on his face he's as mad as I am. My arm sets out more waves of pain increasing the intervals at which they come. The glow of the tattoo gets brighter much to my dismay.

Noticing the glow around my hand he speaks up. “What is that glow on your arm?”, he asks roughly.

“A tattoo your brother put there, why do you care?”

“So that's how you know he is here,” Sasuke says.

“Yeah and it's quite enjoyable,” I respond sarcastically. “I just love the pain it gives off.” Suddenly 2 men appear in front of them wearing dark cloaks with red clouds on them and wide brimmed hats. “I didn't give you that mark for it to be enjoyable Chiyo,” one of the men said.
