Summary:

Chapter 3

As they are staring at eachother, waiting for Itachi to remember the direction in which to return safely, they hear a ruffling in the bushes, something or someone was following them in the forest. Whatever it was it sure moved fast.

Sakura got a little freaked out and walked up by Sasuke, and grabbed his arm. The thing crept out of the bushes, it was the legendary creature, that is still living after a few hundred years. The creature leapt at the foursome and pounced on Itachi, Itachi had low chakra and didn't have much strength. He knew unless his brother trusted him, he was finished. He knew that Sakura and Naruto were too frightened of the creature, only his brother would save him.

Sasuke: [thinking]. What am I to do?

Itachi: Feh. I guess this is my end. What a pity, I'm going to die on low chakra.

Sasuke: Naruto, help him.

Naruto: No way, I'm not going near that thing, you're his brother; you help him!

Sasuke: [thinking] But I can't…

Sakura: Sasuke, look deep into your heart; forgive Itachi, he may of well saved you. If you watched over me, then he watches over you. Making sure you are safe. Maybe him killing your clan was a good thing? Maybe he has a reason?

Sasuke: Hmph.

Sasuke folded his arms and looked down at the ground.

Sakura: Sasuke, you are the only one with a full chakra. Beat that monster and save Itachi. He can help us.

Sasuke: I hope I don't regret this later.

Sasuke charges up his chidori, the monster was prowling and pouncing on him very violently, he watched this as he charged up his chidori, finally after 10 seconds of charging, he ran forward at a high rate of speed, and threw the creature off into the distance. Itachi manages to get up, his robe was blood soaked, the creature had left him seriously injured.

Itachi: Kisame almost lead me to my death. I always wanted to die, now that I had my near death experience, I have a desire to live. I feel life in me again.

Itachi walks a few feet, he begins to fall and Naruto and Sasuke catch him by the two shoulders.

Sasuke: Itachi.. you need to rest. [He looks at Sakura]. Sakura, can you come over here and heal his injuries.

Sakura: I'll try, but his injuries look serious.

Sakura walks over to the badly bruised former Akatsuki member. She kneels puts her hand on Itachi's stomach, curing the bruises and scrapes. The animal and left him a few permanent scars on his muscular chest. But it wasn't lethal or anything. Itachi's breathing came back to a more relax tone, and he began to take deep breaths, without any strain.

Sakura: Itachi, can you hear me?

Itachi: Yes, Sakura.

Sakura: You have a scar on your chest, it looks like it will be permanent; I am sorry Itachi. But look on the bright side, you are able to live again.

Itachi: Yes, thank you Sakura.

Sasuke: Did Itachi just thank someone?

Naruto: Wuh? But that's so not Itachi.

Sakura: [Smiles] Your welcome Itachi.

Itachi slowly rises to his feet, he has not fully recovered. Itachi begins to walk, and he walks normally, but there is something wrong.

Sakura: What is it Itachi?

Itachi: I feel really tired, I haven't feel this beaten for a long time. Since dad used to abuse me everyday.

Sasuke: Itachi.. dad abused you everyday?

Itachi: [nods]. Yes, he used to chase me around the yard with a rake, the rake was thick hard steel too, and one day he scraped my face, and left me with tons of scratches over my face, I was ok though. They went away. Sometimes he would come in my room when I asleep and take his wooden sword, and beat me over the head with it. Mom tried to interfere by taking the sword out of his hands. But that didn't have an affect on him at all. Let me take you back, to the night where I murdered him.

Sasuke: You mean mom too.

Itachi: No, that was dad's doing.

+===========================================================+

5 years ago: The Uchiha Residence

+===========================================================+

[Note: I do not know Sasuke's mothers name, I'll just call her Nora]

Nora: Fugaku Uchiha, you put that wooden sword down now.

Fugaku: Itachi is insane, our son is insane. He wants to hurt me.

Itachi: THAT'S A LIE. WHY WOULD I HURT YOU FATHER?

Fugaku: You are full of hatred, that's why.

Nora: The both of you, stop FIGHTING.

Fugaku takes a swing at Uchiha from the back of his head, this releases a heavy swing to the victim if they don't vacate the area.

Itachi: Dad, honest to god, I will hurt you if you even lay a finger on my family.

Fugaku: I'm only protecting my family from you.

Itachi: Dad look into your mind, you have lost your mind. Come back to the light and stop being such a insane lunatic.

Fugaku: I will when your blood is over my sword.

Itachi: With a wooden sword, you fool.

Fugaku throws the wooden sword on the ground, and takes the metal sword from the right side of his hip and lifts it up into the air, it's blade was recently sharpened and it would symbolize death for Itachi if he didn't do anything.

Fugaku: Itachi, you are the opposite if what I asked for in a son.

Itachi: You foolish father, you do not see your own damnation.

Fugaku: Pff, this will be the end of you.

Fugaku puts the sword behind his head to gain momentum to the blow of Itachi's head. When Fugaku is about to release it forward Nora grabs the hilt of the blade, and wasn't quick enough to stop it in motion, the blade made a vertical slit in her throat, blood spilled out into the floor, Nora had a large hole in the throat, Fugaku turned around to see the mistake he made.

Itachi: You little fucker.. how could you do this? You murdered my mom. You asshole you are going to suffer.

Fugaku: A terrible mistake indeed.

Fugaku takes the sword and stabs Nora in the heart, there is no breathe coming from her body. Fugaku had no emotion for what he had done, he couldn't care less, for the demon inside him grew stronger. His next target was the other sibling. Fugaku turned around, but just as he was. Itachi introduced Fugaku into a Mangekyo Sharingan.

Itachi: Foolish father, you are a idiot. Following the darkness. Now father, I cannot forgive you for what you have done, to the clan. It is time for you to disappear.

And he stabbed his father in the stomach, they came out of the hell world and Fugaku was on the floor bleeding to death. Blood was spilled today. Tons of it. The floor was covered in thick red blood, he thought about what happened, until Sasuke was awoken by the conflict and ran out to see what had happened. Itachi saw his brother in the door way, mouth wide open. Itachi was carrying the sword.

Itachi: Sasuke.. It is not as it seems.

Sasuke: Itachi.. why?

Itachi: Because I had to do it. For the both of us. For our safety.

Sasuke: NO, you did it for your own personal gain. Itachi Uchiha today you are convicted with murder, and I will see that you are dead next time that I see you.

Itachi: Fine brother.

Itachi walked out the door of the house and walked out of Sasuke's life forever, until now.

+===========================================================+

End Flashback
+===========================================================+

Itachi: So there you have it Sasuke. You were too young to understand what was going on. I had to do it, if I had to die, he would of murdered us including mom. Unfortunately her life was lost also. So without me you wouldn't be here standing and staring at me.

Sasuke: Itachi.. I had no idea… I'm sorry.

Itachi: Brother.. I know. You were too young to understand.

Naruto: Way to go Itachi.

Itachi glared at Naruto with a cold look, Naruto felt a shiver go up his spine.

Itachi: [laughs] I'm just kidding Naruto.

Sakura: [thinking] Wow Itachi has a nice laugh.

Sasuke: Brother. I am glad that you are alive to tell me what had happened.

Kisame: He won't be alive for long.

They all look towards the bushes to see Kisame, and the other 3 Akatsuki jump out.

Kisame: We have orders to take you out Itachi.

Itachi: I see.

Kisame: We can make this easy or hard.

Itachi: I prefer the hard way.

Kisame: So be it.

And with that Kisame took his sword out of his holster and began to charge at Itachi. Itachi for the longest time had fear in his eyes.

Itachi: Sasuke.. My chakra hasn't recovered, I have injuries.

Sasuke: I got you covered, brother.

Naruto: This is the new Itachi.. heh.

Naruto looked over to see Sakura staring at Itachi, she was blushing and she had the look of a innocent angel all over her face. She had a crush on a murderer, Itachi Uchiha.

Sasuke jumped out to save his brother, he tackled Kisame to the ground.

Naruto: Sakura. I'll take Hidan.

Sakura: I'll take Deidara.

They left to pursue their target. Tobi was standing there waiting for the right moment to join in with the battle. He thought that they could handle themselves.. Until Sakura unleashed her Inner Sakura and virtually beat Deidara to death.

Sakura: That was easy.

Deidara laid on the ground, no sign of life was seen around him. Sakura was sure he was dead; and she was right.

Sakura chanted in victory, she looked over to see Tobi who was very angry right now he gritted his death and began to insult Sakura for taking down a close friend.

Tobi: How dare you, you little pink haired fruitcake.

Sakura: What did you call me?

Tobi: A pink haired Fruitcake. Now I'm going to avenge Deidara's death.

Tobi charged at Sakura charging his Chakra along the way, Sakura knew it was coming, when he sped to her; she jumped out of the way just in time. He turned around, only to get a punch in the face by a girl. He fell down on the ground in pain.

Sakura: Your really weak…

Tobi: How could I have been beaten by a girl?

Sakura: It was a simple punch to the face..

Tobi: Yes, but I lost. Please just kill me. I don't want to live anymore. If the leader finds out I failed he will kill me anyways, and it will probably hurt more. Just please end my life.

Sakura: If you say so.

Sakura grabbed him by the throat, and he didn't resist. He just watched her take his life away in her hands, he imagined this is how he wanted to die. To die in the hands of a beautiful girl. Tobi took his final breath and sat down for his eternal sleep.

Sakura: How did I just do that… Normally I would just cower.

Inner Sakura: You felt bad for him, and it was time for the idiot to die anyways.

Sakura: Right.

Sakura got up and watched as Hidan battled Naruto, and Sasuke battled Kisame.

Naruto was doing a excellent job beating up a Akatsuki member. Hidan was one of the weak ones anyways. She figured the reason why they weren't as tough as before was because their confidence left, now that Itachi is no longer with them they were as easier than ever to defeat. The only one that seemed fired up and had a strong will was Kisame. He wanted to see Itachi dead.

Naruto: Heh heh… Hidan. That's it your just going to lie there like a sack?

Hidan: You nine foxed tailed bastard. I will destroy you. Depend on it.

Hidan got up with all of his strength and tried to punch Naruto, but he fell to the ground, Naruto put his foot on top of Hidan, gloating for victory.

Hidan: That's it. It's over. You won. Now let me go. I will face the music.

Naruto: You know, I used to fear you scum. But now that I have actually battled one of you, it's like taking candy from a baby.

Hidan: Yes, there is something missing now. A hole in the clan. Please get off me. I want to get away and die.

Naruto let his foot up and Hidan slowly got up and walked away into the forest, never to be seen again, or will he? Hidan was always a good thief and liar? Could what he said to Naruto been a act? Naruto wondered if done the right thing. But letting him go.

Kisame: I'll cut you to ribbons, Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha. You will go first you teenaged Uchiha brat.

Sasuke: Hn. As you can see I have the upper hand.

By now Sasuke had totally beaten Kisame out, he was tired. And there wasn't much left of Kisame.

Kisame: I will not accept defeat! I CHOOSE DEATH OVER DEFEAT!

Kisame used all of his will power to kick Sasuke 15 feet away and into a tree, Kisame grabbed his sword and walked slowly over to Sasuke. Itachi was too badly injured to help. Naruto and Sakura were frozen in horror. They're best friend was about to be cut into ribbons. Finally Naruto was on his way over, but someone grabbed Sakura and Naruto but the scruff of the neck. They turned around to see a white skinned, long haired. Freak of nature snake addict.

Sakura: Orachimaru!? What are you doing here.

Orachimaru: Heh, helping the Akatsuki with a little devilish plan. You little parsnips you think you could mess with us?

Sakura and Naruto noticed that Orachimaru had a Akatsuki rob on him, which means he rejoined to help them defeat the young ninja of leaf village.

Orachimaru: Now, you little parsnips. It is time for you to die. You caused enough trouble already, you killed 3 Akatsuki. That's enough for you. Now I am going to choke you.

Orachimaru gripped both of them by the neck and began squeezing as hard as he can. With Sasuke helpless trying to get up before Kisame was going to slice him, and with Itachi injured and not being able to be of any use. They were doomed. Sakura and Naruto tried to scream to the top of their lungs, they only let out a little noise, that wasn't useful at all. They knew it was only a matter of time before they would be dead.

Behind Orachimaru, Sakura and Naruto heard someone chant, LIGHTNING BLADE. They only knew one thing, Kakashi had finally found them. He was going to save them. Orachimaru: was thrown in the air and was brutally assaulted by Kakashi's oncoming attack.

Orachimaru: I will destroy those little bastards. You better depend on it.

Kakashi: Over my dead body.

When Kakashi was done with his attack he flicked Orachimaru into the air and used the rest of his chakra to kick him to the other side of the forest.

Kakashi: I'm not surprised. I go to read my book in peace and I find no other than the famous criminal, Orachimaru.

Kakashi looked over at the wounded Kakashi.

Kakashi: Itachi Uchiha, we meet again. You look badly injured.

Kakashi began to punch Itachi in the face, Itachi couldn't really do nothing; although Sakura had healed it, it would take a while for him to recover.

Sakura: KAKASHI STOP IT.

Kakashi: Itachi is a dangerous criminal I cannot let him out of my sight.

Sakura: He's not evil anymore. Kakashi please leave him alone.

Kakashi: Itachi.. is this true? Have you turned the other side.

Itachi nodded in silence.

Naruto: Kakashi, stop messing around.

Naruto pointed to Kisame who was about to stab Sasuke in the throat. Kisame stuck his sharp blade up to his throat.

Kisame: So delicate.. So easily destroyed it can be.

Sasuke was helpless to the 7-foot shark.

Kisame pulled back his sword getting ready to attack, he did not put it over his head, he just pulled it back, a quick and easy attack that was hard to stop.

Sasuke as he knew it, his life was about to come to a end. Kakashi didn't know what to do, he didn't think he could be useless.

Finally, Itachi got the strength to protect his little brother; he ran straight towards Kisame, and engaged him into a Mangekyo Sharigan.

Itachi: How dare you try to hurt my brother. You are the most useless and pathetic partner anyone could have. Betraying me without reason. Was it jealously? Why do you envy me?

No answer from Kisame, he was up on the block of stone, half dead.

Itachi: Hmph. I will now punish you Kisame, you will inflict no more pain.

After 72 hours of being stabbed in Itachi's hell world. Kisame was nearly dead, the Sharingan ended and only a second passed in the real world. Kisame was surprised how powerful Itachi was, he had under estimated him.

Itachi took Kisame's sword and held it over Kisame's head, Kisame tried to get up, but Itachi stomped on his back.

Itachi: You are nothing more than a ego-centric prick. I'm sorry my pale faced fish brain. This is where your long road; your journey ends.

Itachi pulled back his sword, but as he was swinging Sasuke called his name.

Sasuke: Itachi, please spare Kisame.

Itachi looked over at his broken armed brother who was telling him not to murder Kisame.

Sasuke: Please Itachi, do not do as you did years ago.

Itachi had realized this, and dropped the sword on the ground next to Kisame.

Itachi: Ok Sasuke.

Kisame got up, and looked at the enemies. He immediately got out of there. The five some began to walk back to the gate towards the village, Kakashi was asking Itachi why he turned the table around. Itachi didn't really say anything. He was injured after all.

Kakashi: Sakura, Naruto. Lead us lead the Uchiha brothers back to the hospital. Their wounds are not severe. But it could if they do not receive medical attention right away. Naruto picked up Sasuke and put him over his shoulder, Kakashi took Itachi and put him over his shoulder. As they began to embark on their way to the hospital.

A few hours later, the boys were admitted to the hospital and began receiving medical attention. Kakashi had told everyone at the hospital not to tell anyone else that Itachi Uchiha was infact a patient there. If they have told them that Itachi had turned over a new leaf. Then infact there would be a panic.

Itachi and Sasuke were in the same room. Their beds were far apart. Itachi's was by the window, Sasuke's by the door. They were deeply resting in their sleep. Sakura wouldn't leave their sides. She began to feel sleeply. As she began to close her eye lids the sound of the machines faded into echo..
