Sakura felt like she and Itachi had been talking for such a long time. Without having to worry about him killing her or being a threat to her village, she actually kind of.....liked him. He wasn't guarding his words or trying to be mean. He was just being himself. He was being the man he would have been able to be had fate not handed him such a horrible punishment.
"Forgive me for saying this Itachi but you seem, well, happier now."
"I am happy Sakura. My clan has been avenged. I no longer have to hide and continue to live the life of a criminal. Death has washed my slate clean and I have finally found peace. This is what I wanted all along." He smiled at her and she returned it. "Now we have been speaking here for quite sometime but in reality it has not even been a minute. We do have to leave this genjutsu Sakura."
"How will we do that?" she asked.
"I can easily remove it the problem is though you will not be unconcious from me not having attacked you in here it will be extremely painful. It normally is not because I have been attacking the person's mind heavily so I guess some parts of the brain go numb. Do you think you can handle it?"
"It's not like I haven't been in pain before. As long as I am still capable of battling anyone that may be around when we come out of this I'm okay with it." she said.
"Good we will do that then. Be warned since you have been in for some time you will feel a sudden chakra drain when we exit."
"Okay I will be."
"There is something else I must ask you to do if you can." Itachi asked.
"What is that?"
"I need you to kill me."
"WHAT?" she was dumbfounded. there is no way she heard that correctly right?
"I need you to kill me. Sakura I do not want to fight anymore. I don't want my body and my powers to be tools for Kabuto and Madara's plans. All I want is to simply be able to rest peacefully again. My death is truly what I want. There is no other alternative anyway. I am already dead so it's not like you are actually killing me."
"But Itachi..."
"No Sakura. Please; help me with this one other request. If you are unable to do it ask Naruto or your other companions but I need to be returned to the earth." Sakura knew he was speaking the truth. He was already dead. There was no life left for him to lead; but she felt sad at the thought of having to do so.
"Alright. I understand. I will lay you back to rest Itachi." she said with determination.
"Thank you Sakura. For everything." Itachi took a step back. "Are you ready?"
She cleared her throat. He raised his eyebrows at her quizically. "I was just getting ready for my big scream."
He shook his head. "Women." and he smirked at her. In that instant he looked so much like Sasuke that her heart stopped for a beat but she shook it off quickly. "Let's begin."
Kakashi was currently hiding behind a tree as he wrapped a piece of cloth around the wound on his leg. Deidara had set off a few bombs that took out a large gathering of trees sending ruble flying everywhere. He had been able to avoid most of it but a large piece of wood lodged in his thigh. He removed it but now was trying to stop the bleeding. He could see Deidara standing atop his large clay bird trying to find him. He had managed to remove one of his arms yet again with his kamui from his mangekyo sharingan. That weakend him so much he knew he could not do it again or he would no longer be able to move. Deidara reached into the pouch on his side and removed some clay. The mouths on his hands began chewing it to soften for molding. Kakashi knew he did not have long. As Deidara began molding the pieces Kakashi took to the trees. He jumped out of the last tree towards Deidara with his raikiri activated. Deidara managed to avoid the hit by grabbing Kakashi's hand but he stood there shocked.
"You have lightening abilities?" he asked in wonder.
"Yup. Your earth elements are not so effective against this now is it?"
"Shit. Not again. You damn leaf-nin, mmm." Deidara kicked Kakashi in the stomach throwing him from the bird. Kakashi flipped in mid-air preparing for an attack but was surprised when none came. Deidara was flying off.
"Did you scare him that bad Kakashi-sensei?" Kakashi looked behind him to find Naruto, Yamato, and......Sasuke?
"I guess I did. Naruto, mind explaining this to me." he indicated Sasuke with a wave of his hand.
"I will later sensei but right now we have to find Sakura-chan."
"You haven't found her? What about Sai?"
"Sai is with a member of Sasuke's team, sempai." Yamato said. Kakashi's gaze landed on Yamato. "But I feel he will be fine there. He is injured as is another member of Sasuke's team so we need to find Sakura quick. Are you okay to move?"
"Yes. I'm a bit drained but i'll have no problem searching for her." Kakashi took a moment to observe Naruto and Saskue. They both had various injuries everywhere. He could easily spot the burn marks on both of them, more than likely caused by each others attacks. So they were fighting. I wonder what stopped them. This was an interesting development but he had no time to dwell on it. "Okay let's go. Naruto can you feel her chakra?"
Naruto closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated. "Yes, she is just over that ridge. It won't take us long too......" At that moment all their blood ran cold as they heard Sakura's agonizing scream rip apart the forest.
It hurt. Oh kami it hurt. She would have rather been unconcious than to have to go through this. It felt like someone was pulling her brain out of her head. The pain was so intense. She could feel her blood vessels pounding and she worried she would have a stroke. She heard someone screaming only to realize it was herself. Just when she thought she couldn't take it anymore it was over. She fell to her knees sucking in great gulps of air. She willed herself to foucs her healing chakra to her head to ease the pain. As it lessened she took a moment to scan her surroundings. She did not raise her head for fear of others being there. She noticed Itachi's feet in front of her. To her left were another pair of feet. At first she could not distinguish who they belonged to but then she caught a glimpse of his cloak. Dark red. Kabuto. So he was there. She was glad she had not spoken yet.
"Good work Itachi. I care not for her pain just that she is alive." she heard Kabuto say.
She had to figure a way out of this. She flexed all of her muscles and noticed she was physically fine. The healing chakra had done its job and she was no longer in pain. She could focus properly and she still had the majority of her chakra. Now she just had to come up with a plan.
"Well, this is not what I was expecting." Kabuto said with malice in his voice. She wondered what they were talking about. Did she dare pick her head up to look?
"Itachi."
She knew that voice. Deciding it would be worth the consequences she stood from the ground and looked around. There he was. Uchiha Sasuke. The look on his face was painful to see. He looked at his brother with so much remorse. She glanced at Itachi only to see him gazing sadly at Sasuke.
"How could you bring me such pain ototo?"
Those words alone were enough the make Sasuke drop to his knees. He felt as if his someone had punched him in the stomach. Itachi had looked so.....hurt. As if the mere presence of Sasuke was enough to drive him to tears. What did I do? For a moment Sasuke felt just like he did as a child. Wanting his aniki to look at him and praise him. To never be upset with him.
Kabuto jarred him out of his musings.
"I didn't expect you to be anywhere near here Sasuke-kun. I last heard you were headed to Konoha." Kabuto said with a fake grin on his face.
Sasuke gathered his wits, stood up, and placed his stoic mask back on. "Why would you be keeping up with my whereabouts Kabuto? You have much explaining to do. Why have you revived Itachi and the others?"
"I can't explain that to you right now Sasuke-kun but we will talk in time. Now if you will excuse me, I will be taking our dear blossom." Kabuto took as step towards Sakura.
She smirked at him from under her bangs. "And who said I would be letting you take me?" She took her chakra filled fist and smashed it into the ground causing the earth to rip apart. Kabuto and Itachi had no choice but to jump back. Sakura propelled herself towards Sasuke's location. Naruto came barreling out of the forest and caught her before she could land.
"Sakura-chan, are you okay? Where are you hurt?"
"I'm not hurt anywhere. I'm okay Naruto." she got out of his arms and stood beside him.
"We heard you scream Sakura." Kakashi said as he and Yamato came to stand bedide them.
"It was only pain from coming out of tsukuyomi. It was internal but nothing is damaged. I've already taken care of the pain too. Don't worry." she assured her team. She looked at Naruto. He had multiple injuries as did Sasuke. So they were fighting. She was so mad at Naruto! How dare he! He was going to fight Sasuke and die along with him and she would have never known. She had not even seen him for months! Oh she wanted to hit him but now was not the time. She noticed Sasuke glance at her and she narrowed her eyes at him before turing away, Now was not the time to fight him. They had bigger problems.
