Itachi vs Riser

The atmosphere in the club was tense yet calming down after Itachi's demonstration of his chakra prowess. Koneko sat on the chair, still trembling slightly, though she masked her unease well. Rias had returned to her seat, though her gaze lingered on Itachi longer than necessary. Grayfia, ever the composed maid, stood silently, her shattered ice weapon now dissipated into the air.

Itachi's nonchalant demeanor as he adjusted his student uniform made the earlier deadly clash seem like a distant memory. Everyone's attention was abruptly interrupted when a magic circle in the main hall opened.

"Rias!" a flamboyant voice echoed across the room as a tall blond man stepped through the magic circle, his aura brimming with confidence. Riser Phenex, heir to the Phenex family, strode into the room, followed closely by his entourage of devil women, including his sister, Ravel.

Rias's expression immediately darkened. "Riser," she said, her voice edged with irritation. "What are you doing here?"

Riser smirked. "Oh, my dear Rias, I merely came to remind you of our impending marriage." His gaze landed on Itachi, his expression turning dismissive. "And who's this? Another one of your pitiful attempts to bolster your peerage?"

Rias stood abruptly, her irritation boiling over. "He's not part of my peerage yet, and I've told you countless times, I have no intention of marrying you!"

Riser ignored her, his golden eyes narrowing at Itachi. "A human? You've brought a mere mortal here to convince him to join your peerage? What a disgrace to the Gremory name."

Itachi remained silent, his Sharingan passively activated, analyzing Riser's every move. He knew that Rias wanted him in her peerage after seeing his power.

"Riser, I'm warning you. Don't underestimate him. He's—"

Riser raised a hand to silence her, laughing mockingly. "Please, Rias. A human is no match for a noble devil, let alone a Phenex. Watch and learn how a true noble handles trash," he said and continued, "Get ready to reincarnate into your peerage."

"Ravel, show him the power of our bloodline. Teach this human his place," he said as Itachi was still looking at him in the eyes. His sister, Ravel, stepped forward at Riser's command.

Ravel hesitated for a moment, glancing at Itachi, who stood unflinching, his expression unreadable. She could feel that this human was not normal because he was not reacting to her brother's words at all.

Seeing her reluctance, Riser urged her forward. "Go on, Ravel. Crush him."

Itachi, ever the opportunist, saw this as a perfect chance to gain more shock points. He stepped forward, his crimson eyes locking with Ravel's. His voice, smooth and confident, cut through the room.

"Why should we fight each other, Ravel, when we can talk about… other things?" He tilted his head slightly, his demeanor suddenly oozing charm.

Ravel's face flushed a deep red as she struggled to maintain her composure because of Itachi's charm. The room went silent as everyone stared, stunned by Itachi's sudden shift in tone.

"W-What are you—?" she stammered, but before she could finish, Itachi leaned closer, covering the distance in seconds, his voice dropping to a whisper only she could hear.

"Your brother may think he's untouchable, but I wonder how he would feel if he got to know what untouchability truly means. You are his precious sister, right? Tell him not to do these kinds of things."

Ravel's blush deepened, her ears twitching slightly as she stepped back, utterly flustered. The room erupted in murmurs as everyone processed the scene.

Rias's fists clenched at her sides, her jealousy flaring up. Koneko, meanwhile, glared daggers at Itachi, her usually stoic expression replaced with one of barely contained rage for some reason.

Riser, oblivious to the shift in his sister's demeanor, scowled. "You dare flirt with a Phenex? You overstep, human."

Itachi smirked, his Sharingan spinning lazily. "You talk too much, Phenex. Perhaps you'd like to show me the so-called strength of your bloodline?"

Riser's anger flared as his body ignited with flames, his wings spreading wide. "I'll burn you to ashes!"

Before Rias could intervene, Grayfia raised a hand. "Let them settle this," she said, her cold tone silencing the protests. "It will be… educational for Riser."

Riser launched forward, a torrent of flames erupting around him as he aimed a flaming punch at Itachi. But the Uchiha was faster. With a subtle movement, he sidestepped the attack, leaving Riser to crash into the ground.

"You're slow," Itachi remarked, his tone calm but cutting.

Riser snarled, unleashing a barrage of fireballs. Itachi responded by weaving hand signs with lightning speed. "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The two flames collided midair, creating an explosion that rattled the walls. The audience watched in awe as Itachi emerged unscathed, his Sharingan allowing him to predict and counter Riser's every move.

Growing desperate, Riser attempted to overwhelm him with sheer power, his body engulfed in flames. "Let's see you handle this!" he roared, launching himself at Itachi with blinding speed.

But Itachi was prepared. His eyes shifted, transforming into the Mangekyō Sharingan. The room darkened for Riser as he activated his signature move.

"Tsukuyomi."

Riser froze mid-attack, his body stiffening as his mind was plunged into Itachi's genjutsu. Within the illusion, Riser experienced days of very light torment, his arrogance stripped away with each passing moment.

When Itachi released him, Riser collapsed to the ground, trembling and gasping for air. The room was deathly silent as everyone stared at the fallen Phenex heir.

Itachi turned to Ravel, who had stopped blushing and now looked at her brother in shock. "You might want to teach your brother some humility."

With that, he walked away, leaving the room stunned and his point count skyrocketing.

[100,000 shock points gained.]

[300,000 shock points gained from Riser.]

The only reason he he go easy on Riser was that Riser was not a bad person according to him. The only reason riser was a villain was because he was Rias's fiancé.

Itachi looked at the sky and muttered, "It's just from which point of view you look at things." Itachi was considered a villain by many, a hero by some, and a broken hero by others. To him, Itachi was a broken hero, and now, in the body of Itachi Uchiha, he was going to show the world the face of a broken hero who had to sacrifice everything for peace and his brother.

"Stop." Just as Itachi was about to leave, Riser's voice sounded. "I want a re... rematch in a Rating Game," he said while standing up. Itachi's eyes widened at this. The light torment he was referring to was the same Itachi had used on Kakashi when they first met in original story.

Then he remembered that Riser had a regenerating body, so he might be able to endure such torment. "Or perhaps," Itachi thought, "he might have gone through perverted training."
