It was a tense hour for everyone, the brothers had been going at it for all this while.

" Huff, give up, you can't beat me. "

Said Itachi, as he huffed and puffed lightly, his body was completely healed by Shin before, so he was at 100% in this fight, this was after he had used the training ground jutsu.

That means, this was a high kage level fight full of incredibly dangerous moves, any of which can one shot a weaker kage if caught off guard, and Shin's ability to tank all that, and give it back had pretty much forced everyone to stick around.

" Huff Huff, what are you talking about, I am just getting started. "

As soon as he said this, Shin couldn't handle himself anymore and kneeled down, as he began gasping for air.

Itachi frowned for a slipt second, wondering if he had gone too far, then he concentrated on Shin's chakra and saw it was just fine.

' That's some acting. '

Itachi muttered internally as he walked towards Shin without any emotions.

Everyone watching tensed up, this was it, the victor had emerged.

Kisame smiled as his shark teeth showed itself, that's what Mr Itachi was all about, nobody can stand before him.

Obito frowned feeling quite a bit worried, if Itachi took Shin's eyes, then he would have a really big threat on his hands, so should he go for the kill right now..?

Haku seeing Itachi was about to end Shin, was starting to run towards him, wanting to fight Itachi herself, but Zabuza stopped her as he pointed subtly towards Kasamaro.

* Wisssh *

Itachi stopped in his tracks as the new Mizukage stood before him, flickering in between Shin and him.

" Is Mist going to meddle into Uchiha business? "

Asked Itachi, trying to get a sense of how deep of a bond his brother had with Mist.

Kasamaro had bones sticking out of his entire body as an answer, this caused Mist to ready itself as well.

Akatsuki hesitated a little and some still came forward for their own agendas, but some backed away, people like Hidan and Kakuzu didn't want to fight again.

Looking at the Akatsuki being at a disadvantage against Mist, Shin almost smiled.

' Talk about skills, Itachi knew Akatsuki wouldn't fight against mist again without madara messing around. '

So now Itachi can safely back away because he didn't want to cause any ' losses ' to the organisation.

" ... Live your last days. "

Said Itachi as he backed away, as if not wanting to fight at a disadvantage against Mist Shinobi.

Who too breathed sigh of relief, these guys were all S class, and Mist didn't want to fight against them if they didn't have to.

" You are alright? "

Kasamaro asked Shin as he gave him a hand, Shin looked up, seemingly tired as he gave a bright smile.

" I am more than okay, I am fantastic! "

Kasamaro smiled as did Shin, who was feeling pretty trippy talking to himself like this.

The mist Shinobi walked in and Haku immediately began treating Shin's wounds.

Mei raised her eyebrows at Haku's actions, as her love sick brain immediately connected the actions with what she knows.

' Yuki and Uchiha..? Huh, that dosen't sound all that bad, and it's a good enough reason to bring Uchiha into mist. '

Blinked Mei as Utakata looked at Haku once and then at Shin, then ignored both of them.

" So what now? "

Asked Zabuza as he had his kubokiribocho's handle attached to his back, the sword body still missing.

Kasamaro looked around, seeing Akatsuki have left with Itachi, he gave an order.

" We leave as soon as Uchiha Shinnosuke is healed, further discussion about alliance would he done at a later time. "

Everyone nodded as they showed their acceptance to this, not sticking around the open battlefield was the best choice if action.

" Yeah, you do that, I got some stuff going on in the village too. "

Seeing everyone looking at him, Shin decided to clarify a little, to show he is on their ' side '

" The Hokage wanted to take action against me, he had stopped temporarily because Uchiha clan had been revived, but it seems he has other preparations in place now. "

To this Kasamaro nodded, presenting his help on the spot.

" Kekkei genkai destruction? Worry not, if Konoha doesn't want you, Mist will take you in. "

Seeing Kasamaro being so forward with his intentions had Yagura worried quite a bit, he was also a Mizukage before, he knew the act of subtlety.

Being this forward with a not yet ally might give them the impression that Mist desperately wants Uchiha.

This was never a good news for any party forming an alliance.

" Yup, I'll keep that in mind Mizukage sama. "

But Yagura let out a sigh of relief, Shin Uchiha seemed to respect his friendship with Kasamaro enough that he didn't show any signs of playing tricks.

' Then again, it could be due to her as well. '

Thought Yagura as he looked at Haku treating Shin carefully, he needed to tell Kasamaro about this.

They can't take an alliance like this lightly, this might be very important information.

As a little more time passed and everyone made small talk with Shin, the S class Uchiha clan leader, Haku was finally done healing Shin.

" Okay, all done. "

Said Shin as he gave Haku a big smile who returned the same and hugged him in response, Shin doing the same.

After leaving the hug, she gave her goodbyes to Shin who nodded and flickered away.

" Alright let's go. "

Said Kasamaro as the Mist ninja also flickered away, now that Shin had met Itachi, he can start his counterattack on Hiruzen.

His Kasamaro avatar would make Mist his personal power, and his Shin main body would take over Konoha after he overthrows Third.

At least that was the plan, it was very difficult to remove the Third's iron grip from Konoha, so he had to think how to go about this.
