Chapter 18
My Curse Revived
Chapter 18
By: AvalonNakamura
A?N: Well guys I have returned. Like I mentioned in my newest story, My life has been nuts these last few months. With my Grandmothers passing and all. But I am back. After having recaptured my wayward muse. I have her chained to the desk now. So maybe I will be able to write at a more frequent pace. Anyway...I have a poll up on my profile now. I have had an Idea rattling around in my brain for the last month or so. But I need you guys to vote on this poll to see if I will even get this idea moving. So please please vote. Well on with the show!
As Tsunade had given the order. Naruto, Haku and Zabuza arrived at the Uzumaki compound quickly retrieving their gear then began to grab the remaining members. As Kin and Tayuya looked in shock as Naruto began to speak about the mission as Sasuke turned paler than normal.
"Our mission this time guys is simple...Search and Capture...The targets are simple...Hoshigaki Kisame...and Uchiha Itachi.. I won't lie guys... This is not going to be easy...Itachi and Kisame...are both S ranked missing nins. We are to at least capture one of them. At the present I believe Itachi should be our target. Kisame is way to much. Itachi should still be recovering from her attack on us. Meaning we have the best chance to catch her. I know you are scared Sasuke...But this will also give us the chance to find out the answers to why she did what she did to your clan."
Shivering noticeably Sasuke began to hug herself tightly as her mind replayed not only the massacre of her family but the recent attack. The look Naruto had in his eyes when he was facing down the elder Uchiha. He was like a different person. She was scared she was gonna lose him on this mission. But then she felt a few different pairs of arms around her and she opened her eyes only to see Kin, Tayuya, Sakura and Haku holding her tightly. A smile on each of their faces. Soon Narutos voice sounded again.
"Sasu-chan...You won't lose us. We will bring Itachi back and make her answer for her crimes. Have faith in us. We are unstoppable as a team."
Smiling gently Sasuke returned the hugs to her fellow kunoichi. Then her eyes hardened as she then moved towards the corner of the room grabbing her sword she slid it behind her back and turned to look at her team mates a smirk evident on her face. She pulled her strength from her new family. She then ran her hand through her hair.
"Let's go! It is time to bring my wayward Onee-sama back to Konoha. She needs to answer for her crimes..We will bring her back and then...I will finally have my answers."
As they exited the compound Kakashi landed in front of them. His one eye serious as soon landing behind him was a singular Kunoichi that the majority recognized. Her two buns giving off a mouse like appearance. Sakura let a small smile grace her face as she spoke first.
"Hey Tenten-san! What's up? Why are you with Kakashi-sensei?
Zabuza finally decided to speak up and answer for the new kunoichi.
"Is this one of the ones from that Team Gai that Tsunade-sama spoke about?"
As Kakashi nodded he then sighed. And looked towards the young Kunoichi and then back to his own team. And began to speak.
"Hai, She is. This is the Weapon Mistress of Konoha. And Kunoichi of Team Gai. Her name is Tenten as you heard Sakura say. She is the only one available from the team. Gai and Lee stupidly got hurt training by punching of all things boulders...And Neji was requested as a guard for his younger cousin Hanabi. So I could only get her. But now...Naruto...Call out Kyuu-sama. We will need her nose for this mission. I was briefed by an ANBU. If we are hunting for Kisame and Itachi we will need her nose..."
As Naruto nodded and quickly summoned one of his clones. The clone soon then poofed into the female form. Her hair now pulled into a single pony tail. Tenten raised her eyebrow lightly she was aware of Naruto's tenant for some time now. During Naruto's training trip. She had asked tsunade and Sakura countless times about Naruto and the strange power he seemed to use to defeat all his previous opponents. Finally it wasn't until Sakura finally broke down and told her. At first she was a bit frightened but when she finally thought about it. She realized that Naruto was not anyone to be frightened of. Now seeing his clone take this form she didn't know what to expect til she realized from the chakra coming from the now female clone what this clone was. It was the Kyuubi itself! Soon though the clone spoke.
"
Well It is nice to see I am needed...Even by you Kakashi-chan...You grew up quite nicely. But I guess this is not the time to be flirting. Let's begin the hunt!" As she uttered those words she took a deep breath of air and then closed her eyes. Soon a ghost of a smile appeared on her face and she then pointed off to the east. And took to the roof tops followed by the rest of the team.
"
This way! Their scent is potent this way. I do not think they made it too far. Given the amount of Chakra that Itachi spent on her battle with you guys. We should catch up within a half a day." As they left the village a small bit of dread crept into their hearts. This would be one of their hardest battles they would have to deal with. Even with Itachi being weakened she would still be able to put up one hell of a fight. And if you factor in Kisame. They were going in undermanned. Kisame had a ton of chakra. Not to mention Itachi could still use her Magenkyo. This was not one fight that could end with someone easily dead. Soon though Tenten decided to voice her worry.
"Guys...What are our chances on this mission? Do we really have a chance in hell at all against these guys?"
Sighing lightly Naruto knew one of them were bound to ask this. He had to keep the morale up. He then glanced over his shoulder towards the bun haired Kunoichi. He sent one of his fox like grins towards her which always seemed to have her stomach do a little flip.
"Honestly Tenten-chan...I am not sure. But I will be damned if they harm anyone on my team. I will bring one of them back. So guys listen up. We have to keep Kisame busy. Zabuza...Kakashi-sensei. That will be you guys job. If you two can keep him busy Itachi will be easier for us to bring down and capture. Like Kyuu-nee-chan said. Itachi has to be way low on Chakra. If we can keep her dodging. We should be able to get her to trip up. Guys...If we start to get on the losing end of the battle do not hesitate. Retreat...do you all understand?"
As the team including Zabuza and Kakashi nodded. The two jounin couldn't help but smile. The blond sure could think on the fly. He had split the team up correctly. With both Zabuza and Kakashi working on Kisame. It would leave Itachi wide open for the others to weaken and capture her. It was a good plan. So the jounins decided to not add to it. Soon though Kyuubi shot towards the ground as the rest of the team followed each concerned about the stop of the team. She soon began to speak.
"
They are closer then I thought...Their scents are a mere hour from here. I can tell from Itachis scent she is weaker alright. She is maybe at half of her normal chakra level. I will poof out of existence once we reach there so Naruto will be at max. But...If you need me Naruto...Call for me. I will lend you all the power you can handle." Nodding the team began to take stock of their weapons. Soon they all looked at the Ponytailed Kyuubi and nodded as they took off again towards the scents of the two rouges. They were soon going to be in a life and death struggle with these two. They were also beginning to wonder if Itachi and Kisame knew they were inbound to them. That question was soon answered as Zabuza skidded to a stop as a Kunai imbedded itself into the tree he landed on. As the two black cloaked figures were standing in a clearing as the well manicured hand of Itachi was pointing towards where the Kunai was now stuck. The team quickly landed in the clearing near the two missing nin as Itachi chose to speak.
"Well...Well...It looks like we have a small squad sent after us...I told you Kisame...You drew too much attention Well it does not matter...Tell me...though...Why did you come running to your deaths? You know you guys do not stand a chance..."
As Itachi finished speaking her delicate eyebrow rose slightly as the blond ponytailed being popped from existence and it seemed Narutos chakra seemed to grow stronger. She now knew just how wrong her words were. She was gonna have to rely on Kisame to help protect her. But soon before she could react or even speak Naruto spoke first.
"ZABUZA, KAKASHI-SENSEI! GO!"
The two jounin nodded and rocketed towards Kisame as the blue skinned man pulled the Samehada from his back and took the brunt of the impact of Kakashis kunai and Zabuzas sword. Causing the man to slide back as they continued to push forward. Itachi quickly turned her head in time to see Sasuke drawing her blade as Naruto looked towards her his eyes a dark crimson with slits.
"Sorry...Itachi-chan...Your not getting Fish boys help. You have to deal with us."
Narutos voice held an icy note to it that had Itachi shivering lightly she then let a small smile play on her lips. So this is how it was gonna be. This would be the deciding battle if she would die or be captured. She locked her burning red eyes with her little sisters and saw the same red reflected.
"Well it looks like your finally truly ready Sasuke...Let's get this started then. Tell me Sasuke...What future do your eyes see?"
At those words Itachi launched herself towards Sasuke as a pair of clones popped into existence along side of her as the real Itachi slammed her kunai against Sasukes sword as one of the clones impacted with Naruto as the other clone proceeded to set up a barrier of Fire to prevent the others from interfering.
"Onee-chan...Your wondering...what my eyes see?"
Sasuke grunted as she pushed back against the strength of her sister. She was still impressed. Even with Itachis chakra weakened she was immensely powerful. This was gonna be a difficult battle.
"I see a future...where our clan is honored again. Where I can happily say I am a mother. And When I help bring you back home...When I can maybe...Maybe...have my precious Onee-chan back..."
At those words a few tears dripped down Sasuke face Itachi felt her heart hurt. Her little sister...Even after all this time. Still loved her. She couldn't help but let a genuine smile play across her lips. She wouldn't mind being an aunt. But that wasn't now. She had to at least keep free from Konoha. She had to complete her own mission.
"A fine sight to see...But I am afraid. I can not allow one part of that...I must not lose..."
In the distances Kisame was stunned. His former sempai and the copy nin were keeping him dodging. Even with Samehada, he knew if he was even hit once by either of them he would lose his life. While Zabuza himself or Kakashi were not a threat separately Together they were making one hell of a team. When Zabuza would swing his sword wide Kakashi would attack low on him. He had to get to Itachi. She wasn't able to fully protect herself. He had to get back to her. If something were to happen to her. He wouldn't forgive himself. She had become like his little sister.
"Sa~ You two are amazingly well synced...Let's try this!"
He then let Samehada quickly shave off some of Kakashis chakra allowing the blue skinned man to get back away from Zabuza as he allowed his hand to glow brightly. Zabuzas eyes widened he remembered this from when he helped train the boy. He also knew this was probably gonna hurt a bit.
"Suiton: Bakusui Shōha!"
Kisame then released a torrent of water from his mouth allowing the area to quickly become inundated with around 3 feet of water. Soon after Zabuza quickly began to run towards Kisame as the blue man became to go through a set of hand seals.
"Suiton: Suikōdan no Jutsu !"
As The water soon rose from around Kisame and the now shark shaped water attack launched at Zabuza He began to take off towards where Itachi was. He was preying to the gods that she wasn't overdoing it.
"Damnit! What the fuck is with this Fire! It won't die out!"
Tayuya was getting more and more pissed. The various jutsus they tried was doing nothing. Haku was observing from behind Kin, Tayuya and Tenten. She could stop the fire but it would be risky. She was about to speak her thoughts where Tayuya screamed again.
"Itachi! You fucking whore! Fight fair! Did fucking the Akatsuki leader turn you into a weak willed fucking pussy who can't fight someone head on! I fought Orochimaru and even he wasn't this big of a Pussy!"
At those words the flames died and a red faced clone was glaring at the red head. Soon enough the clone popped out of existence and Itachi made her mistake. She roared at the red head.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH HOW DARE YOU! I WOULDN'T DIRTY MYSELF WITH THAT PIG! I AM STILL A DAMN VIRGIN!"
She then froze as she realized what she just did as she felt Sasukes sword press against her neck. She then looked at Naruto she wondered what he thought about her outburst. This was humiliating. She let her pride and fury beat her. She could probably get away but she knew if tried she would lose her head to her little sister. She then raised her hands. A gentle sigh coming from her lips as the clone who was grappling with Naruto popped out of existence.
"Damn it...you win...Sasuke...Kill me...avenge Kaa-san and Tou-san..."
She waited for the bite of the cold steal to only hear Kisames voice ring through the clearing.
"NO! STOP! DON'T KILL HER! Please...We surrender...Just don't kill the one who has become like a sister to me..."
Sasukes eyes doubled in size at Kisames words As Zabuza and Kakashi landed soon behind him zabuza quickly placing his sword against the blue skinned mans neck. She then sighed lightly and spoke.
"Itachi...I hated you...despised you...Loathed everything you were...But...I still love you...Your betrayal eventually caused me to turn to the most disgusting being in the world. I ran to Orochimaru...He promised me the power to kill you...Then it happened...I met the Kyuubi inside Naruto. She showed me...what I was doing...Your still my Onee-chan Itachi! No matter what you have done...I hearby place both Uchiha Itachi...and Hoshigaki Kisame under arrest. You both are to come to Konoha to face your charges. Kakashi-sensei...please...place Chakra seals on both of them..."
Itachi let some tears flow. Even though she pushed her own sister into darkness. And the one person who brought her back was the little blonde ball of energy that she helped guard when she was with the ANBU of Konoha. She smiled at Naruto and mouthed a Thank you to him when he nodded she felt Kakashis hand on her shoulder as he removed both hers and Kisames cloaks. Allowing the dark blue outfit of the Uchiha clan to still be seen on her well endowed frame. Though The girls did blush seeing that Kisame wore nothing but a pair of black pants allowing his muscular chest to be seen. As Kisame allowed Samehada to be sealed by Zabuza who had known the way to seal the blade without it going nuts. They then both felt the chakra seal being places on their necks by the cycloptic man. Soon they began the march back towards Konoha. Itachi and Kisame both realized just what they had to do to save their lifes. Itachi knew it was time to tell the truth. And let the village know who did what. And Kisame knew it was time to allow Akatsuki to fall. And the only way that would be would be to tell what they knew. The team knew it was going to be an interesting return to Konoha.
