15 Chapter 15-War is..

|Mc pov|

Jumping through the trees, the silence was deafening. Looking at itachi who kept moving. Reaching him I finally couldn't hold my tongue.

"What is it itachi." I spoke jumping to a tree, back flipping and landing in front of him.

"Why oketsu? Why do you feel the need to keep me out." Itachi spoke after a few minutes of silence, stopping and looking at me as the wind picked up.

Hearing his words and the look on his face as the wind blew his hair. I didn't know what to say, to me I didn't feel like I was. The look in his eyes told it all as he leaned against a tree. His eyes looking at me but more like he was trying to look into me.

"I'm not itachi, I was only doing what I thought was best. I didn't.." I squeezed out a half hearted answer as I didn't understand where it was coming from.

"Back at the camp, it was so easy for you to take those shinobi's our clansman's life. Then when we fought mira, your words to her were as if you had thought on them. Even with the cloud shinobi just now, I could tell there was something more on your mind. I just want to know, your always thinking but never truly say anything." Itachi spoke honestly, he only wanted answers for everything that had happened.

"It wasn't easy, I only chose our lives over there's, remembering words from father. Fight with everything because the enemy will not hold back. With Mira I just didn't think I had the right to judge, she did what she thought was best and even if we were on opposite sides.. I didn't feel it was right to take her life for something I didn't understand. Itachi I'm not trying to shut you out, I'm.. I'm just.. I'm just scared to lose you. I'm only doing these things so we can go home, I don't want to see either of us die out here, I couldn't. That's why I think and put myself into danger.." I put my feelings out there, to me the most painful thing, would be to lose itachi. I couldn't watch him die and all this came from that thought.

From the clone bombs to fighting mira, even pushing him out of the way. To me the most important person in the world, was itachi, I had not known myself how attached i became to him and knew the pain would be immeasurable if he died. Knowing I had watched him die over And over again before.

"I just.. I just want to get through this.. so many have died already, but for what reason? I want answers to these questions, why? Because our views are different?? Maybe because we come from different villages? Or is it just the nature of humans to kill each other? I don't know and the more I ask the more questions I have. Still one thing holds true, I only think of how we can go home to mom and keeping you safe." I looked up to the sky, speaking on my many thoughts. I had seen much blood shed but I couldn't get the image out of my head that one day, itachi would die as a tear came down my face.

"You don't need to carry that by yourself, I have so many questions I want answers to but I know I have you.. when I see you thinking, I feel like your trying to put it all on yourself but I'm here with you.. that's what big brothers are for, right?" Itachi came up to me, looking down at me a little as he tapped my forehead. A smile on his face as he had a glimpse of what went on in my mind.

"Will find answers to these questions.." I spoke, wiping the tear away.

"Togther?" Itachi said turning and held the side of his fist out, the sun shined down on his small smile.

"Together.." I smacked the side of his fist with mine. With a smile while we took off, heading more east in hopes to find our father.

After a few hours of moving through the forest and then out into the rocky lands. Taking cover when it rained and then moving to where we heard fighting. Me and itachi ran through puddles of water, hearing yells and pained cries everywhere. Looking over the cliff to the land below, seeing carnage.

Jutsu's where fired, all manor of them as explosions could be heard. Different shinobi with many different head bands cut each other down. Me and itachi eyes went somber as blood was spilled, people screamed in pure agony, just to be silenced and left there bleeding.

Watching as shinobi of all kinds clashed, the smell of blood and steel in the air, seeing women taken and men burnt or blown to pieces. We both watched as my mind over lapped this and my other life. I heard each jutsu go off like bombs, thundering across the chaotic battlefield echoing in our minds.

Sparks flew as weapons Collided. The pained cry's of men and women was only drowned out by the concussive echoes of the never ending fire of destructive jutsu. We both stood in the shadows of the trees watching the never ending battle that raged on.

"Captain, children matching them have been seen west from here. Coming from the Direction of the camp." A wounded shinobi said looking at Fugaku's back.

"Good, the camp and what of mira?" Fugaku spoke trying to get a hold on the situation but even so the tight feeling around his heart lessened.

"The camp looked to be under attack, signs of fighting as well as massive explosions, mira was among the bodies as well as cloud shinobi. None of our clan members survived. We did fine these in some of the bodies though, Captain." A woman spoke, handing fugaku a long needle.

"It would seem mira had other intentions. Let's move, the wounded move to regroup with the others. Those at the front do not openly push them, kill the rest of the sound shinobi and regroup with us." Fugaku gave his orders looking at the needles, his heart beat a little faster.

"Yes Captain." The shinobi said doing as he said as he disappeared with others.

'I should have brought them with me, still I'm sure they would not fight her head on, they made there way to me.. good.' Fugaku couldn't shake this feeling as he moved at speed to find his sons.

Me and itachi watched the battle until morning, seeing the countless bodies that laid across the scarred earth, seeing nothing we moved to a higher flat cliff area. Seeing blood and shinobi tools all over. We nodded as itachi moved to find any survivors, while he did so I searched for answers to my questions. If I found any alive, I wanted to ask them something. It didn't take long for itachi to stop, only until some hope came from no where.

"Water.. water.." a mans voice begged, looking back me and itachi tried to find it. Seeing a man with his arm out stretched, his forehead had the hidden sand symbol. Itachi still rushed to him with water hoping to help.

"Help.. help.. please. . . Anyone.." I turned my eyes searching, hearing the smallest of voices. Moving closer to the edge of the cliff.

Looking over to someone moving I walked over, looking at a girl with short orange hair, her right leg was gone, while a giant hole was in her stomach, accompanied by burnt clothes. Her face was beaten a little and her left arm was barely hanging on. She looked no older then six or seven. Shaking my head I walked closer.

"Don't.. sta.." the girl said, weakly holding a kunai. Striking out with it to protect herself as she saw my shinobi tools.

"Shh, it's ok.." I said still leaning down as I looked at her, she had pretty green eyes that looked terrified.

"I'm.. sorr.." the girl spoke, lashing out before hand and stabbing me in my hand. She saw the blood flow down my hand and her kunai. Seeing I did not attack and even giving her a soft smile.

"..it's fine, you did good. You just wanted to protect yourself." I said moving closer, seeing her stop Squeezing the kunai seeing my smile that was refreshing after all the blood.

Holding her head up as her hand dropped the kunai, I moved her hair out of the way and gave her water.

"Thank.. you, still I'm so cold. But I can't feel anything." The girl spoke in broken words, looking up to my face that said nothing.

"I can't get up.. I just want to go home.. I'm scared.." the girl could no longer keep it together, feeling me pull her more in to me. The human contact and my warmth, she latch on to it crying.

"But.. I know I can't, there is nothing for me at home.. mom. She never came home.. can you. . . Can you help me?.. I'm to scared to do it, I just want to see her face again.." the girl said as she pulled her remaining arm up, shaking while she held something. Looking down I saw her holding the bloody Kunai, placing it in my hand.

My eyes stared at it, while my heart began to slow. On the kunai there was a name etched into it. I didn't grip it as I look down to her face that smiled.

"That's why I came here, to find her.. I just want to see my mommy. . . Again." Even if she was speaking, the broken and shaken words told me everything. She was terrified, she had come all this way to a blood covered battlefield. Not for her village or her people but for something more precious to her.

"Please.." her words turned the world silent, she and I knew. Her mother was probably gone and she only wanted to see her. If not here then she would see her again another way.

I nodded while I saw her tears roll down her face. Her smile never left and seeing me nod she closed her eyes. My mind was taken away from here, as images of the past haunted me. A little boys face over shadowing hers as I gripped the kunai.

"I cannot speak, I cannot sleep, stuck in a daydream. The one I see, is it reality? It's written down in words, I cannot read. I want to know, I only want to see.." I sang the words slowly, letting her hear every word. Feeling her touch my face as tears came down my cheeks, pushing the kunai in to her neck, while I closed my eyes.

"Please.. don't cry for me.. thank you." The girl said her last words, her arm dropping as I held on to her.

"So tell me Is it just a wonder? Or is this true reality?.. your welcome." Finishing the song as the memory played in my mind.

Feeling more people come and hearing my father. Along with itachi who had to kill the man he tried to help. I heard as they walked towards me.

'He was right.. war is..' I thought to myself as I laid her body down gently, turning to my father and itachi as the sun was behind me. My eyes closed as I calmed myself. Opening my eyes, my fathers face changed. Seeing the blood red color and itachi just watched the tears roll down my face.

'War is.. hell.'
