Catching up on old times {Kiyoshi Uchiha/Open}

[Ryu-san]

Wearing a black cloak with a single, red spot around it was a man, who steps forth from the darkness. The inside of the tapered cloth looked like blood. The garments, that he wore underneath this unique material was rather strange to most. The clothing was all black from his shirt down to his long legs that his pants seemed to snug his lower torso but was comfortable as well. A fishnet singlet covered his upper torso. His name is Uchiha Itachi, one of the last surviving members of the Uchiha clan. When he decides to, Itachi will walk down the path of a killer.

Having mastered the arts of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu the well known ninja master can copy people’s moves before they are executed, paralyze his opponent, hypnotize his opponent, or even shift space and time causing his opponent to be slower than he is, by using his Mangekyou Sharingan. There are times that others have began to realize with a single look, Itachi can make his opponent feel as if they were being stabbed by a thousand daggers, knives, or even needles.

With his training Itachi has learned to remain calm no matter the situation. As far as speaking, the man stays silent unless he feels like talking to someone. The master ninja continues to train everyday with his adopted family. Learning a lot more of the Ninjutsu ways, so he’ll be better skilled. While stepping forward towards the local tavern, the man searched the terrain with those deep red hues. Was he looking for something or someone in particular?

Only he knew the answer to that question. Each step the ninja took, brought no sound, even though the hard ground under his feet had pebbles upon it. "Just a little further," he thought to himself. Itachi remained silent as others passed him by giving him a strange look and then whispered to their companions of the evening. It wasn't but a few moments later that he came upon the establishment and stepped inside while he opened the door. Once again red orbs looked about until a glance of a single table, in the far back, came into view. From the door the ninja master swiftly gazed across the wooden floor to the empty table he had spotted.

As Itachi sat down in a chair, his feet found their way to being placed on the table's surface. The handsome young man kept to himself and blends into the shadows that surrounded the area he was in, now out of sight from the other patrons. While sitting within the darkness he smirks to himself. Gazing upon the others that seemed to have taken a liking to this place, he would remain silent as he watched the body language of each person. Like in his training, the ninja master was fully aware of his surroundings, so it would be nearly impossible to sneak up on the man, and attack him.

Looking over to the male patron standing at the counter, Itachi would continue to smirk, while thinking to himself of what to do next. Usually when this man came into a tavern it was to meet with either a friend or a family member. He was not one for sticking to one place for any certain length of time. Once more the red hues of this unique ninja gazed upon the many drunks within the building. Remaining calm, Itachi would sit there and wait, until something happened or someone he knew came in. Once in a great while he would be seen talking to a stranger. However, he’s mainly talking to a stranger, when they’re his next victim. He keeps to himself, still waiting for the one person he is waiting for.

With the smirk still firmly upon his lips, one might, just see how calm he actually was. However, if somebody saw Itachi calmer than the ocean on a summer's day, they would need to really be cautious. For when that time came even if one took off running from him, the death would be even more painful. After awhile of searching the main corridor of the tavern, he glanced up to the rafters for several minutes. With this done the ninja master shifted his gaze upon the door as he watches for someone he knows to walk through it. Uchiha Itachi was more prepared and in tuned with his surroundings.

He watched the door once more, his eyes closed slowly, reopening mere seconds after they closing, as he had just blinked. A smirk plagued his lips still as he grew bored of this place, his lips parted and released a soft sigh as he moved from his seat and stood up. His feet were firmly planted upon the ground, he moved swiftly, yet silently out of the building. He glanced up into the blue sky, his eyes closed as he thought about his past, but as soon as the memories entered his mind, they vanished. He chuckled softly as he 'tsked', then he walked off, away from the tavern.

There was nothing which interested him here, but since he had returned to the place he was exiled from, he knew something was bound to happen, and soon. He was searching for his little brother, Sasuke, hoping that the little brat had decided to return here, but that was not the only thing he searched for, he also wished to speak with one, Kiyoshi Uchiha. In fact that was his main reason for coming here, all by himself.

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Uchiha Kiyoshi, the man with the long black hair and one strange red bang. Apon seeing the statue or any picture of madara Uchiha people would tell him he looked close to the same, Kiyoshi didn't care much for that. As always he had his long black bang covering his left eye, one of the reasons people say he looked like Madara Uchiha, Except for the fact that the bang that covered madaras eye was much more thin and on the right side. Kiyoshi, as normal was where his ninja out fit, His blue short sleeve jacket, with his black pants, both where baggy. His head band, tied around his for head was not visible, for his hair was covering it.

As Kiyoshi walked down the street a troubled chunin ran towards him, bumping into Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi looked down at the boy and was slightly shocked as the boy told him how he saw Itachi and he was going to get more jonin. Itachi? what are you doing here? He asked him self. He pushed the boy out of the way and walked in the direction the boy was running from. Kiyoshi was not sure he was the best person to tell about Itachi, He would have difficulty killing his old friend even after what he did to there clan, although he didn't care for the clan as much. But if Kiyoshi need to would he be able to chose between his old friend and his village?

Kiyoshi walked for ward as he closed his eyes for a moment, When re-opening them his eyes where red. He had activated the sharigan to make sure that he was going the right direction, and he was. He could tell Itachi was there, he didn't need his sharingan for that. He continued to walk until he finally came up on the raven haired uchiha. Kiyoshi paused, looking at Itachi as he finally spoke. Uchiha Itachi

[Ryu-san]

Itachi smirked as he heard a familiar voice, this voice belonged to the only best friend he did kill in order to get his Mangekyou Sharingan, it was time that he revealed his eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in public. His smirk shifted an he simply chuckled as he said "Uchiha Kiyoshi, are you here to fight me?" His voice held the same tone it did when he was younger, the icy tone of a sadistic killer. As he turned his head, he cocked it to the side and smirked as he then added "Now, tell me, where's Sasuke?"

Itachi was eager to find out what happened to his brother after their last fight. And he also wanted to let Sasuke know that he was not yet dead. In fact he wanted to taunt his brother more, by appearing before him and simply telling him that he was too weak to actually kill him. Itachi glared upon the form of his 'best friend', he then simply scoffed as he spoke. "Kiyoshi, did you come here alone?" His eyes held no emotion as he was not about to show his true emotions, he wished to keep himself living in the facade of a cold-hearted killer, it was the best facade to hide his trueself within. His eyes closed for a moment as he waited for a responce from his old friend.

Then as he opened his mouth to sigh, a few words slipped out as he said "I wish to give you notice, I grow bored of the Akatsuki, I'm planning on returning here, for good." itachi opened his eyes and looked straight at Kiyoshi with them, this time, not only did it show the emotions of a a cold hearted killer but it also revealed sincerity for his words. Then he waited for Kiyoshi to respond, a simply smirk spread all over his face as he stood there. Then he moved forward, as he came within seconds of Kiyoshi, he whispered "Did you miss me?"

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Kiyoshi let his sharingan go, he was not there for a fight, nor did he want to have one. As He asked where Sasuke was kiyoshi sighed. He has not returned to the village since he first left Itachi He said with a cold look towards Itachi. He spoke again, No I'm not here for a fight, There would be no point in having one here. You could tell his eyes had some emotion, like he longed for the old days of training and playing with his friend, and going on missions with him.

A light breeze slightly blew on kiyoshi as Itachi asked his third question, kiyoshi couldn't stop asking himself why Itachi was there but he had a better question he was planing on asking. Yes, I am He said, he looked itachi in the eyes. I saw no need to bring another jonin or a chunin He said looking at Itachi. His hair blew more into his face then normal. He pushed it back to place as he sighed closing his eyes for a moment and re-opening them.

Kiyoshi was slightly shocked when Itachi said he grew bored of the akatsuki. And you think the village will accept you? He paused looking at Itachi with a more aggressive look. After all you did, you must be crazy, they'll kill you He actually seemed kind of concerned for Itachis well being. As Itachi asked him another question. Did he miss him? Of course he did, Itachi was Kiyoshis best friend, Of course Kiyoshi wasn't going to say that to Itachis face, he actually stayed silent until asking, Why didn't you kill me like the rest of the clan? He asked looking at itachi, You say you did not kill your brother because he was to weak, dose that mean you thought that I was weak? He asked. kiyoshi never completely believed that Itachi didn't kill sasuke because he was to weak.

[Ryu-san]

Itachi let his sharingan remain, it burned his chakra but he wished to see if his former friend was being truthful. And he was, so Itachi simply sighed once he heard that Sasuke never returned, his scoffed and then asked "So does this mean Sasuke has taken over Otogakure? Did you hear about Orochimaru?" Itachi was pleased that orochimaru was dead. Well not truly dead but Itachi had sent him into a permanent dream land.

Itachi looked to his friend, crimson red eyes scowled the form of Kiyoshi as he answered "Well I have done them a favour, I took care of the one who had killed the third hokage. Wouldn't that warrant my acceptance?" His lips formed a sadistic smirk as he waited for his friend's answer. Then he looked up into the sky and thought about their past, it was then that he was asked a question which he expected to be asked.

Why didn't you kill me like the rest of the clan? You say you did not kill your brother because he was to weak, dose that mean you thought that I was weak? The answer to this question was going to be a tough one as the truth was, Itachi was unable to bring himself to kill the one he loved. But he looked at the shell of a man who Kiyoshi once was and simply asked "Why should a man be killed once he has left the body?"

"You were dead, long before I killed the clan Kiyoshi, there was no point in killing the shell of man who never could show me how great my skills were anyway." Itachi shifted his sight to the sky once more and then asked "It's a beautiful day, isn't it Kiyoshi, now about the shinobi here killing me, their best couldn't even come close to scratching me." Itachi looked into Kiyoshi's eyes, a diamond shaped pupil was evident and it was the symbol of Itachi's eternal Sharingan.

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Kiyoshi looked at Itachi, Yes I have herd that you killed orochimaru, But I also herd that you where dead, He said looking at Itachi By the hands of your brother none the less He said to Itachi. So I suppose things aren't what they seem He paused. Itachi still had his sharingan achieved, did he not trust Kiyoshi? kiyoshi longed to Show Itachi his true power, but he would not.

Kiyoshi now knew why Itachi was here, but did he truly think that the village would seriously let him in? Yes you killed Orochimaru, that's one good thing on your list, but You killed our clan, drove your brother insane in his attempts to kill you which is the only reason he left the village, your a missing nin and your an S-ranked criminal, He paused at this time he was truly concerned for his friend, he would surly be killed every ninja in the village would come after him, not to mention naruto. Even a blind man could see this Itachi. If you truly think you can just walk in here and ask to stay because you killed Orochimaru you a true Idiot. kiyoshi said coldly towards his friend even though he was very concerned.

Kiyoshi was shocked as Itachi called him a shell of his former self. He looked at the ground, he didn't want to look at Itachi now as a tear roll down his cheek, He chuckled lightly A shell, Yes of course He stated. He looked up at Itachi to reveal all his emotions poring our. Yes Itachi, I suppose you could call me a shell, I locked up my emotions as my father ordered, I did what he wanted me to so I could become stronger then you. He paused still slightly crying. You don't know how hard it was Itachi, To stay so cold, to pretend to a warrior when I wanted to cry He whipped his face, luckily no one was looking at him. Ever since the day you left I had become more cold, Never showing any signs of weakness, I found no point to show them, when all I wanted was my friend back, He stopped for a moment. But that was never going to happen Tears started to roll down Kiyoshis face once more, they where only falling lightly. Yes Itachi, I suppose I was a shell, and I suppose I would not have been a match for you unless I Unleashed It He said his sad face turning to a smirk as he pulled the band around his next slightly away, as he did so a large amount of Chakra started to roll off him although it wasn't to visible to the naked eye. As he let go and band to its place close to neck the chakra disappeared.

As Itachi noted it was a nice day kiyoshi nodded, but the last thing he said maid Itachi smirk. And what if I was one of those ninjas to attack you, or the Kiyuubi? He asked Itachi, he noticed Itachis Sharingan. Kiyoshi also had an eternal Sharingan, and he true power, the last gift from his sister. He would find it funny, his younger sister always had a crush on Itachi. If kiyoshi used the power His sister gave him to confront the man she had a crush on that would be slightly strange, although did not want to fight with Itachi.

[Ryu-san]

A chunnin rushed into the Hokage's tower, Asuma was sitting with Tsunade playing shogi. Asuma was smoking as he was playing and then he looked up, listening to the words of the chuunin. Itachi-san had made a return to the leaf village? Did this mean that it was time for a fight? Asuma was not sure, he looked to Tsunade and said "Please excuse me, lady hokage, I need to tend to this business and pay a certain someone a visit." With that said, Asuma vanished in a cloud of cigarette smoke.

Asuma appeared behind Kiyoshi and as he slipped his hands into his pockets, he retrieved his trench knives, then he simply said "Uchiha Itachi, what brings you back to the village hidden in the leaves? Do you wish to die, once more?" Asuma was being blunt, he had already activated the flying swallow jutsu, and was builing up some ash for his burning ash accumilation jutsu. Asuma's eyes glared upon Itachi's form as he then said "Kiyoshi-san, why do you just stand there, it is time to fight."

Asuma was ready to fight this man, his trench knives had an aura of chakra, which couldn't be seen without a doujutsu like the byakuugan or sharingan surrounded the blades and the brass knuckles of the trench knives revealed that he was not going to back down. Asuma took a long drag of his cigarette, closing his eyes for a moment as he felt the hot smoke fill his lungs and then leave as he extracted it out through his mouth.

Itachi looked toward Asuma, he smirked and let out a soft, short chuckle as he simply stated "I come here for personal reason, none of which concerns you, Asuma Sarutobi." Itachi's tone was cold and usually sent icy chills down the spine of those who heard it. Itachi pointed at Asuma, he was going to use his jutsu, Ephemeral. As Asuma looked down upon Itachi's lifted finger, it was trapped in the genjutsu.

A smirk formed upon Itachi's face as he vanished in a flock of ravens. Then he reappeared behind Asuma, with a kunai at the ready to kill the jonin, but he did not do so, he merely just whispered "See how easy it is for me to kill you, Asuma? Yet I do not, why is that?" Itachi waited to hear a reply, and he looked to Kiyoshi as he simply asked "So what about it, cousin, do you wish to fight me too?"

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Kiyoshi shook his head slightly and whipped the tears from his eyes, His Sharingan was now activated. He looked to asuma who asked him to fight itachi. This was the last thing he wanted A fight with his cousin, his best friend. He sighed as he looked at Asuma. Kiyoshi hatted being around asuma, He smoked to much and kiyoshi hatted the smell. He looked at Asuma again. I.....I He stopped him self and looked away from asuma and re-set his eyes on his cousin Itachi. This was great, He had to chose between his cousin and his Village.

Kiyoshi put his hand on the hilt of his blade, he glared at Itachi with a smirk on his face. If it comes to that Itachi, You know I would Fight you He said glaring at his cousin with his Sharingan.

Sakura haruno ran to the seen. She had herd the buzz around the village, Itachi was here. But he was dead. . . wasn't he? As she walked all she could hope was that Naruto was not there, if he was that would not be good. She walked faster not wanting to run to the seen. She didn't know if she could help. She was jumping from roof top to roof top. She finally reached the one above where Itachi was. There that bastard is She mumbled to her self. She jumped down to to help, taking a step towards Itachi.

Kiyoshi pulled his katana out and put it in front of Sakura. I'm Sure you know about Itachi-kun, Sakura-san, so please stay back He asked her kindly, he did not want another person involved in this, he was already annoyed as it was with asuma they're and now with this girl it would be much more difficult.

[Ryu-san]

Itachi glanced upon his cousin, after he heard his words, the Uchiha killer's face turned to a scowl as he scolded "Then cousin, show me what you've got." Itachi watched the form of Asuma as he scolded his cousin some, then he sensed a girl make her appearance, he smirked as he simply stated "So, you finally arrived, hm? Well little girl, what's with the forehead? And tell me, do you believe that you have what it takes to beat me? Not even this pathetic ninja could do that, isn't that right Asuma?"

Then Itachi used a transportation jutsu, disappearing then reappearing right in Asuma's view, but what he managed to do was keep himself glaring into Asuma's eyes, a smirk formed which was more sinister than ever and he waited to trap this pathetic shinobi in the world of Tsukiyomi. As Itachi continued to glare at Asuma, he simply asked "Well Asuma, are you afraid to even look toward your death?" A sinister laugh erupted from Itachi's vocal cords, he was ready to take out one of the leaf villages great jonin (not by killing but simply by keeping him out cold.

Itachi opened his mouth and simply addressed his cousin "Now cousin, if you do wish to fight me, then just give me 3 minutes to take out Asuma here. Then I shall focus all of my chakra into defeating you, otherwise, if you do not wish to fight me, then we can continue our little....chat. Alright?" Itachi was furious that he was attacked for merely just entering a village, but he did know that he was attacked for being apart of the Akatsuki.

Itachi closed his eyes for a moment, he was simply playing possum, so he could trap Asuma in Tsukiyomi. Within the world of Tsukiyomi, Itachi planned to use amaterasu and susano'o on Asuma, over and over and over until the duration of the jutsu expired, then he would watch as Asuma dropped to the ground, with his eyes closed. Itachi chuckled as he pondered on a plan to use against Asuma.

Asuma listened to Kiyoshi's words and looked at him, then he noticed Sakura on her way and sighed as he thought What's she doing? She'll only get in the way and maybe get killed. Then as she arrived, Asuma felt his heart sink into his stomach as he thought she would run into her death, but then he heard Kiyoshi draw his katana and stop her in her tracks.

Asuma sighed with relief and called out "Guys, stay out of this, it's between me and Itachi, however if one of you could, drag Kakashi, Kurenai and Gai here, also, someone alert the ANBU black ops." Then Asuma glanced back at Itachi, he noticed that Itachi's eyes were closed and thought This is strange, has he learned a knew way to fight? A way where he has no need to see what he's looking at in order to defeat his opponent?

There's only one way to find out. Asuma let these thoughts roam through his mind and then he reached into his pocket and pulled out his lighter and packet of cigarettes, then he opened his pack and retrieved a cigarette and lit it, with it lit, he placed it in his mouth and inhaled from it. Using it to gather up strength for his burning ash accumulation jutsu. But as he glanced into Itachi's eyes, something happened, he was trapped in another dimension, this was the dimension of his mind.

Within this dimension, he learned the meaning of pain, the pain was so immense, it felt like he would be disintegrated. Asuma, screamed out in pain, he tried to break free but it was futile, he then was stabbed by Itachi's Tsurugi but it was fake, yet it still did some damage to Asuma's mind, especially since the whole scene repeated itself, over and over again, once the duration ran out, Asuma collasped.

Itachi was pleased with his victory, he had sensed the moment that Asuma was staring into his eyes, he waited a bit, then as soon as he felt the heat of Asuma's cigarette after it was lit up, he snapped his eyes open and trapped the man in Tsukiyomi where he burned him alive with Amaterasu and then performed susano'o on him, now he did make these jutsu fake within this world but they were made to seem to be real as they connected, thus doing immense damage upon his target. Which was Asuma's mind, and now he knew that Asuma will not wake up for a very long while.

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Sakura Blinked, her anger Swelled up, BIG FOREHEAD! Over the years her fore head had come down a size or two, people could of course still say it was big. Chakra glowed around her fist as she became enraged, about to run to Itachi and punch his skull right out of his head. That should make him shut up. She was clouded with anger right now, not thinking straight. Until she got a cold glare from Kiyoshi.

Sakura! He said angrily to wards her. How Could kakashi put up with her. Well her strength could come in handy and she did have medical powers but other then that she was annoying and bothersome, but oh well he had to work with her now. Calm down would you! He said to her glaring and talking so sharp his words could bite. This is Itachi, If you run at him You'll die for sure. Kiyoshi said looking back at his cousin. After hearing that she backed down and calmed down.

Kiyoshi watched as Itachi Placed Asuma in the tsukiyomi. There was nothing much they could do really, it was more then a simple genjutsu. This was bad, with What Itachi just did to asuma if he just continued to talk to Itachi like a brother of the leaf he would most likely be marked as a traitor, and what was he supposed to do about Sakura-san. This was bad for him. He closed his eyes. Trying to concentrate only for a moment, he could look Itachi in the eyes and most likely not be affected. He opened his eyes quickly to reveal his crimson red eternal sharingan.

Kiyoshi glanced back at Sakura. Sakura-chan, Go find Kakashi and the other Jonin He Said Cooley. I can Hold Itachi-kun off long enough for you to get away He said looking back to Itachi. He moved his Sword from in front of Sakura and pointed it at Itachi, Right now Itachi I will Prove to you who is more powerful he wanted to just run at Itachi, but in real life he didn't want to stab him, he wanted to Hug Itachi and welcome him back to the village, but If Kiyoshi did that; good luck getting a squad.

Sakura looked watched as Asuma fell to the ground and was about to run over to him but didn't. She stood behind Kiyoshi, I'm Just a burden here, Isn't there anything I do to help She thought Sadly. She knew she had the choice of running away and getting help but then Kakashi would do all the work, but if she didn't, would she be able to help in this fight? Could she stand up to Itachi Uchiha? He had just knocked Asuma out with a glare, this was bad, maybe she should run. Then she was told by Kiyoshi. But! Kiyoshi-sama Are you sure You can hold him off until Kakashi-sensei gets here? She asked him taking a step back ready to run when she was commanded.

Kiyoshi glanced back again, I have a better chance of Beating Itachi-kun then Kakashi-sama He mumbled to her quietly. Just think Sakura, You can't beat him, but I have the Sharingan, Its twice maybe four times stronger then kakashis Because I have both He mumbled to Her again. This was getting annoying explaining everything to her. Why couldn't she just do as she was told. But she was girl, they where stubborn. Kiyoshi let out an annoyed sigh about to tell her something else, but surprisingly she nodded, showing that she knew this was not Her fight. Don't tell Naruto-san, We don't need to get him worked up about this Really he just didn't want to see his cousin fight The kyuubi.

Kiyoshi still pointing his sword at Itachi glared. He had done so much talking, now was time for action. If he ran in at Itachi is was different, he had the sharingan so it would be more easy to dodge his attacks then it would be For Sakura. He got ready gripping his sword tightly. He took a Deep breath and it began. He ran at Itachi, Clenching his fist, holding his sword in his other hand. He pulled his fist back and as he was just about to Ready to punch Itachi in the face he called out. SAKURA! NOW! Being the signal for her to run. He thought it would be a good Idea to attack Itachi, then Let sakura run, That way he would be more distracted by the attack then Sakura.

Sakura got the signal and jumped up on the roof top. She glanced back down This is the only way I Can help She thought as she started to run. I have to find Kakashi-sensei She was thinking about finding Naruto First, but then Membered what Kiyoshi had said. Naruto-kun. I'm sorry you can't help She thought as she jumped off in the direction on the hokages office. She was hopping Kakashi would be some wheres around there, if not she would check out the memorial monument, telling all the jonin she could on her way there.

[Ryu-san]

As the pink haired, big foreheaded girl made a dash for the village, Itachi moved to Asuma's body, his cousin's sword pierced through his shoulder and Itachi screamed. But he had made sure that his cousin would injure him, since he did not want to fight, the only reason he fought Asuma was because the fool had already made up his mind and wished to fight.

So Itachi had to dispose of him and it angered Itachi some that his reunion with his cousin had to end such a way, he opened his mouth and simply stated coldly "Now cousin, it seems our friendship is no more." Then Itachi scoops up Asuma's body and flash steps to Sakura, once he made his appearance in front of her, he laid Asuma at her feet and simply said in a cold tone "Now girl, this man needs some medical attention in order to bring him to consciousness."

Asuma laid still, he was defeated by the better man but during the Tsukiyomi, he saw another Itachi, a reborn Itachi, one which seemed of justice and not of malice. But he had fallen unconscious so he was unable to let the others know that he was defeated by a good man. A man who merely just protected his honour. And so as he laid there, he thought of what Itachi could do in order to redeem himself. But nothing came to mind, so he let himself continue to think and think, until he was able to figure something out.

Itachi, bled from his shoulder blade, he smiled and then vanished as he flashstepped back to his cousin, then he asked "Now cousin, shall we finish where we left off?" With that said, he slid his hand over his shoulder, it was still sore and he did wince at the pain but he clasped his grip around the handle of his katana, then he withdrew his katana from its sheath and pointed it at his cousin, with this, he said.

"Cousin, I can see that I need to fight you and whoever else in order to gain entrance into Konoha in order to make my return here. But tell me cousin, do you do this because you want to or is it so you are not a traitor?" Itachi's words were cold and venomous, he was not happy that his own cousin, the one who was his best friend, would turn on him like this.

So Itachi decided that it was best that he simply left Konoha behind once more, but first, he would kill Kiyoshi, as Itachi was fuming right now and so he stated "Cousin, after this fight, one of us will no longer be able to draw a single breathe. And do not fret cousin as that will be you and I'll make sure that I make it quick." Itachi's tone was equivalent to the venom dripping from a snake's forked tongue.

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Kiyoshi was shocked, he actually just stabbed his cousin. He watched as Itachi placed asuma down by Sakura. He looked at Itachi drawing his sword. Kiyoshis hands trembled at the Question, do you do this because you want to or is it so you are not a traitor He couldn't help it. He didn't want the Village to hate him, Or think he was a traitor. Since Itachi left Kiyoshi need to prove Him self to the village. He was sent on Mission after mission, But when things Started calm down he was sent on fewer and fewer. His Hands Trembled once more. Itachi He mumbled under his breath.

He looked down at the ground, He felt ashamed to look at his cousin, But when He did his Sharingan was de-activated. He dropped his katana And look a step closer to Itachi, Would rather Die at your hands then at the hands of another He said Gripping the end of Itachis Sword, His Hands now bleeding. A tear Dripped down The side of His only visible eye. He took the sword, Letting go when the sword was Right By his heart. I don't know what to do anymore, So just strike Quickly He had Given up. He looked at the and Closed his eyes Waiting for the cold sharp blade to Peirce his heart. A few tears rolled down the side of his face, Dripping off and landing on the ground. Itachi He mumbled one more time, Hoping that was the last thing he would ever need to say to his cousin. He was so much less a man then Itachi, what was the word? Ah Yes Kiyoshi was Just a shell of the old him.

Sakura was shocked as Itachi put Asuma down. Did he really care? No He couldn't, He was Itachi. But what if he did. Sakura Dropped to her Knees. Asuma-Sensei! She said as she took off her gloves. Her Hands started to glow green as she moved them over Asumas body to heal him. She could get the others after, She need to help Asuma Right now. Kiyoshi could handle Itachi. Well at least she Thought he could. She was concentrating on Asuma, Not seeing what was really happening with Kiyoshi and Itachi.

{ooc: sorry its a bit shorter}

[Ryu-san]

Itachi listened to Kiyoshi's words, he scoffed as he moved his hand back, he slid his sword back into it's sheath and simply looked his cousin in his eyes as he merely stated "You are not worth killing, cousin. You are not just a shell of your former self but you are not even strong enough to beat Sasuke, you are too pathetic to even care about."

Itachi turned, he had failed to return to Konoha, he cocked his head to the side as he then added "By the way, Cousin, give the other shinobi this message, I, Itachi Uchiha did not wish to fight but Asuma Sarutobi insisted, so since I am not welcomed to the village in which I wiped out the clan of Uchihas who wanted to crush this village, I shall roam the lands, destroying all within my path." The Uchiha master wanted to just return peacefully, but it ended up being a fight. Now he was to leave before a war happened, all the elite shinobi against him, and only him.

A smirk formed upon his face as he then stated "Oh and cousin, tell that big foreheaded girl who was just here, to meet me in Sunagakure, within 6 days." Itachi's mind reeled on a memory which replayed, this memory was the memory of the girl's anger, Itachi could not help himself, she was beautiful in her own right and he wanted her. But that would come in due time, all Itachi needed was to get Sakura out of Konohagakure. And then he could use the Eternal Mangekyou to turn her into his lady.

And so as he pondered these thoughts, a sadistic laugh erupted from his throat. Then he begun to walk away, leaving his pathetic cousin to grovel and cry behind him. Itachi stopped and turned around, he looked down at his cousin and simply said "If you want to, you can even tell them all that you were the reason I vanished from this village and that you defeated me as I have still got the wound you inflicted with your blade. However, I want you to always know that you never did beat me, so remember cousin, with all that power you hold, I still am the better ninja." With that said, Itachi walked off, moving toward the distance.

((It is alright, and do not worry, there is still more to this thread, as Kiyoshi can still always catch up...))

[{Hori}-<C>Ha.N]

Kiyoshi listened to his cousin carefully. Why was Itachi so week around Itachi. He couldn't help it, all he wanted right now was different from what he wanted Before. Now He only wanted to Listen to the sounds of Itachis Bones Cracking and his face being smash into the ground. He couldn't take this. His cousin had always been stronger and smarter and better at everything. Maybe kiyoshi didn't actually love his cousin, Maybe he was jealous. He clenched his fist tightly and looking from the ground up at Itachi he smirked, Not even Worth Killing He Mumbled quietly.

He glanced over at Sakura, Why would Itachi want to meet Sakura? He thought to him self for a second. but there was no time to be thinking about Sakura right now, He had to deal with his cousin. He wasn't going to tell the village that he drove Itachi out with his power and strength as a lie. He was going to tell them the truth; That He ripped his cousins throat out. Itachi couldn't be so strong as to be defeated by the Dragon demon him self. Kiyoshi watched as Itachi walked away, His eternal Sharingan now activated.

Kiyoshi ran his finger down his neck then back up it. He pulled at the neck band, terrible black chakra released from his body as he ripped the neck band off. There was no going back now, He had to kill Itachi. He would Enjoy hearing the cry of this man. Kiyoshi grunted as wings started to push out of his back, His chakra grew stronger, His teeth became much sharper, his nails turning to claws, Horns grew out of his head and the part of the transformation his tail. Now You're going to pay from everything you have done, Uchiha Itachi

[/i][/b] He growled.

Kiyoshi started to flap his newly formed wings, Pushing him into flight. He cracked his knuckles as a maniacal laugh let loose from his lips. This should be so much fun[/i][/b] He said appearing before Itachi. He was no longer Kiyoshi, the dragon had completely taken over. We are going to fight Itachi! Right here and Right now![/i][/b] His eye glow a stronger red as the black chakra fell off him, It maid the atmostspher seamed chilled and most people Would be terrified. And I'm not going to stop Until I taste Your Blood, and you're body is laying limp on the ground[/i][/b] He said Kicking Itachi in the face with a large chuckle as he then landed.

[Ryu-san]

Itachi forms the hand seals needed for one of his newly aquired jutsu, his eyes close, the eternal Mangekyou is completely active now, the diamond began to glow a blood red as he performed the required hand seals. The hand seals were for his desperate jutsu which formed a clone of himself, this clone was just a mere corspe which he could use to trick his opponent into thinking they had killed him and then he could make a quick get away or even hide and take out his enemy from a distance.
