Clash of the Uchiha Brothers (Part 1)

 

The ground was reduced to nothing but rubble as a certain shinobi strove to become stronger. As the smoke cleared, a dark figure could be seen standing amidst the chaos. Electricity crackled through his body and a bluish aura surrounded him. Dropping onto his left knee, he steadied himself as he tried to catch his breath. His sparring partner was also panting heavily as he ruffled his spiky, white hair. Ryu looked up and smiled at Kitaro.

 

“That was good. We should do that more often,” Ryu commented.

 

His partner merely nodded as he took up an aggressive stance. With his right leg extended outwards and bent so that his left leg was tense, he slowly performed the hand seals for his father's signature move, the Chidori.

 

Ryu stumbled to his feet while trying to keep focus. He had just been hit by the same move and had been electrocuted, which was something he did not want repeating again. Drawing Sasuke's katana from his belt, he channelled chakra through it. Focusing hard, he shaped the chakra into a concentrated outline of the katana.

 

Kitaro sprinted forward. Knowing the Chidori's weakness, Ryu sidestepped it, allowing him a perfect opening for a counterattack. Bringing his blade down, he cut through Kitaro's jonin vest before releasing the chakra on the blade as electricity. However instead of electrocuting his partner, the chakra cut Kitaro's skin just like a wind jutsu.

 

Kitaro fell and skidded in the dirt as his attack died out. Ryu stuck out his hand and pulled him up. Grinning, he said, “You know you shouldn't use the Chidori without the Sharingan.”

 

Kitaro punched him playfully before the two walked to get lunch.

As Kitaro slurped down his ramen noodles, Ryu stared at the soup in his bowl. He knew that he had to start his mission soon before the leads disappeared. However, he was still coping with Sasuke's death and wasn't really in much of a mood to start yet. Sighing, he picked up his chopsticks and dug in. He had decided to start once he had perfected his ultimate jutsu.

(1 week later…)

 

The full moon light up the sky as night fell over Konoha. The Anbu captain slipped on his red T-shirt with the black Anbu sign on it and picked up his weapons pouch and holster. He reached for his brown belt and slipped it over his shoulder. Tucking Sasuke's katana in it, he leapt onto the roofs.

 

He had not told anyone about the mission as it was S-ranked and a secret mission. Even Tsunade had no idea about his moves. Neither did she officially authorise and file the mission in case the Akatsuki spy could get hold of it.

 

The wind swept through his raven hair as he stared at the moon. He could clearly remember that night when Sasuke and he spent the night talking on the roof under the full moon. Clenching his fists, he slipped into the shadows and crept towards the Konoha gates.

 

As he reached the gates, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Whipping around, he saw no one other than Hitori. Rearing back in shock while silently cursing his own carelessness and allowing someone to detect him, he said, “Hitori! What are you doing here?”

 

His younger brother stared at him curiously. “I'm on border patrol duty.”

 

Ryu kept his face blank as he said, “Oh, right. I forgot.”

 

“What are you doing here? You don't have a mission according to my record.”

 

Ryu grimaced. This was going to be hard to explain. Ninjas were not supposed to leave the village unless authorised and he had not acquired permission.

 

Phasing behind Hitori, he tried to strike him at the base of the neck. However, Hitori was no weakling. In fact, he was quite the opposite. Gripping Ryu's hand, he swung his brother around before slamming his knee upwards into Ryu's gut. As Ryu doubled up, Hitori hit him on the neck. As Ryu lay on the ground, his younger brother performed the hand seals and Ryu's eyes widened in recognition. Hitori slammed his palm onto the ground as Ryu tried to scramble to his feet. Unfortunately he was too slow, he was pinned to the ground as rocks erupted from the ground and formed strips. The rocks bound him to the ground, rendering his arms useless.

 

Hitori squatted over his brother. “You are under arrest for attempting to leave the village and for attempting to attack a Konoha shinobi.” His eyes were filled with contempt and sorrow and Ryu felt guilty for deceiving his brother. However, he had to complete his mission. Looking at Hitori, Ryu whispered, “I'm sorry” before electricity crackled through and around his body, destroying the rocks binding him. His eyes slowly turned red as the black swirls appeared in the pupil. "But I'm an Uchiha."

As the smoke cleared, Hitori could only watch as his brother disappeared into the trees. Stumbling backwards, Hitori tried to make sense of what just happened. His brother was now a missing-nin who had just tried to attack him. Turning around, he ran to the Hokage's tower to report the incident.
