*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Yeah, yeah! I heard you! " Naruto made an annoyed face as he got up from the bed.
He was already a little annoyed that Jiraiya just left him to hook up with a beautiful girl, and the knocking of the door didn't help with his mood.
*Click*
Naruto unlocked the door and opened it, wondering who would be knocking at his door. He knew that the old pervy sage definitely wouldn't return so soon.
But when he saw who was at the door, Naruto made an -_- face.
"Looks like I have some time to spare." I said as I stretched my leg muscles.
"What are you doing here, Sasuke?" Naruto suspiciously looked at Sasuke. It couldn't be that Sasuke is stalking him, right? Because that will be weird.
"Move it." I pushed Naruto back into the room by placing my palm on his face.
"Ackkk!!" What are you doing!?" Naruto fumed and pushed the palm on his face away. He didn't know what Sasuke wanted, and the guy just barged into the room that he and Pervy Sage rented.
I ignored the dunce and jumped onto the bed that didn't have Naruto's bag. It's the bed that's closer to the door.
My arms opened and I laid on the bed, allowing my body to sink into the mattress. It wasn't as comfortable as my bed back home, but it'll do.
I had ran consistently for a while, so having this little break is pretty nice.
Naruto's eyes twitched and said: "What the heck? Do you just go into people's rooms and sleep on their beds without explanation?"
My eyes opened a bit and looked at Naruto and answered: "As a matter of fact, I do."
After that, I closed them again and began to chill, treating this bed as my own.
"???" Naruto wanted to continue to say something, but Sasuke looked as if he had already fallen asleep.
Hence, he decided to just ignore the guy until Pervy Sage returns. He needed to do some more chakra training, so he'll just ignore Sasuke for now.
…
…
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Naruto had just sat down and trained his chakra for thirty minutes, but there was another knock on the door!
"WHO IS IT THIS TIME?!" Naruto cursed and grumpily got up from the bed once more.
He looked over at Sasuke and made a hmph sound due to the fact that the guy had opened his eyes, but he had no intentions of opening the door.
*Click*
Naruto unlocked the door and opened it again.
"...What?" Naruto was shocked when he saw who was on the other side of the door.
The person in front of him has the Sharingan, and he has black hair just like Sasuke! He almost mistook the person to be Sasuke, but that person is much taller.
"Really, who'll expect a kid like you to have the nine-tails sealed inside your body?" Another voice appeared behind the person as the door continued to open.
These two people are… Itachi and Kisame.
"Naruto, you will come with us." Itachi said to Naruto in a steady voice while still having the lower half of his face hidden inside his black robe with red clouds.
Naruto became drenched in sweat as he stared at the frightening red Sharingan of Itachi. The tall Kisame is equally frightening with his shark like face.
He was just about to walk out, but Sasuke's voice suddenly appeared behind him.
"What about me?" I came behind Naruto and smiled brightly towards this blood related brother of mine.
"It's been a long time, Sasuke" Itachi's eyes shifted from Naruto to Sasuke.
The whole reason that he went to the village in the first place is to check up on Sasuke after Konoha was attacked. However, he couldn't reveal that he cares about Sasuke. Otherwise, the Akatsuki might see this as one of his weak points.
"Oya, this one looks just like you, Itachi. We didn't see him come with the old man and this brat." Kisame smiled, showing his sharp shark teeth.
"He is my younger brother."
"What?!" Naruto was shocked when he heard Itachi say this… He never knew that Sasuke had a brother.
"Oh? That's rather interesting." Kisame had thought that all of the Uchiha members were slaughtered by Itachi. But it seems that he had spared his little brother.
While still smiling, I came to Naruto's side and activated my Sharingan.
"What do you think about my Sharingan, big brother Itachi?" I made sure to add the 'big brother' title to Itachi's name since I didn't want to treat him as a distant person. In fact, I wanted him to recall the times when he was with me when I was will the original Sasuke.
My ultimate goal with Itachi is to have him return to the village and join my goal of re-making the Uchiha clan.
There's obviously many complications with this goal of mine when adding Itachi into the mix, but I'll tackle the problems one at a time when they arise.
…
When Itachi heard Sasuke call him big brother once more, he felt a pang in his heart.
He also felt very proud that his younger brother had awakened the three tomoe Sharingan. However, he knew that Sasuke must've gone through a traumatic event to awaken the eye.
If he didn't have the restraint of being a rogue ninja and being a member of the Akatsuki, he would've taken Sasuke out to eat some Dango and give him some speeches about life.
But…
"Stay out of my way. I have no interest in you at the moment." Itachi made sure to stay in character.
"As if, big brother Itachi. Like you, I also wanted to 'test' my abilities. And who better to test it on than the one who slaughtered the clan?" I pretended to be hostile towards Itachi.
Kisame is here, and I know for a fact that he is loyal towards the Akatsuki. I couldn't just talk about some sensitive topics in front of the guy.
The only way for me to peacefully talk to Itachi is if he uses his Tsukuyomi on me.
Once he does that, I'll have 72 whole hours to talk with him.
So right after I said that, I pulled Naruto back and threw him onto the bed that I was just sleeping on.
I then threw a punch towards Itachi's face. Even though he's my blood related brother, I had to make the fight look real in front of Kisame.
"Oho?" Kisame stood back and watched as Itachi smacked away the punch and watched the two brothers battle one another.
Itachi went in for a punch on Sasuke's stomach, but surprisingly, the kid was able to block Itachi's punch.
Sasuke even had the leisure to push his hand into his ninja bag to take out some needles that had bells on them.
He threw them at Itachi, but Itachi was able to dodge it in time. That said, the needles came right towards him – Kisame – and he had to use a bit of energy to dodge.
Ring~
The bells jingled as they embedded themselves in the wall, and ten copies of Sasuke suddenly surrounded all of them. Each of the Sauskes punched towards Itachi.
"Why waste chakra on such low level Genjutsu?" Itachi muttered and decrypted the Sound Bell Genjutsu before also sending some chakra towards the bells to activate the same Bell Genjutsu.
"Hm?" Itachi grunted when he suddenly felt real physical pain in the spots where the Genjutsu clones hit him. Theoretically, it should be impossible for Genjutsu to affect anything other than the mind.
"You underestimated me too much, big brother." I activated the Chidori with the instant cast and aimed it right at Itachi's arm.
I made sure to hold back as much as I can while still making the fight look legit. If I wanted to, I might have been able to kill Itachi while taking advantage of his underestimation of me.
"Chidori?" Itachi frowned a bit when he saw Chidori. His frown depended even more when he realized that Sasuke only aimed at his arm. By right, Sasuke should've tried to kill him due to his hatred.
So… Why isn't he attacking with the intent to kill?
Itachi raised his hand and grabbed onto Sasuke's wrist. He then bent it to redirect the Chidori onto the wall.
BOOOMM!!!
The wall exploded, and the entrance into the hotel room became very large…. In fact, 3/4ths of the wall that separates the room with the hallway had disappeared.
"Tsukuyomi!" Itachi wasted no time and activated his Mangekyo Sharingan's ability.
He wanted to see what's going on in his little brother's mind.
