Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 Two swordsmen on the move

What if Itachi uses his good heart to try to change the world with Sasuke? They are on the run after the massacre; they will be a good version of Madra and Izuna. Will Naruto and other main characters join? How will they shape their world with the Akatsuki and the hidden villages trying to stop them? Itachi x Mei

There will be two Konoha ninjas to join the Akatsuki other than Orochimaru.

This story will have many shocking turns and twists. I will not just stick to canon and not try to shake up things; this will be a completely different ninja village.

I will be updating at least one chapter every Sunday. If I finish more than one, then I will update all of them on Sunday.

Only one story at a time.

You will be amazed at how many of the main characters will power up.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters in Naruto. I also do not own the Itachi and Kisame bromance, which is so sad.

Kakashi and Anko pairing

(6-month time skip)

CH5

In the land of the mist, Itachi and Ao had become a very formidable combination. They had a tactic of scouting enemies for hours to find any slip-ups to do damage. They were especially good at exposing the nighttime. They would take advantage of the fact that most people on a campsite relied on a sleeping time schedule with a few people to watch and notify other people in a camp. This was normally not an issue because most ninja were extremely stealthy and could not be caught so easily. If you try to break into a camp, all it takes is one pair of eyes to see you and notify everyone, and then that person dies. Sadly for the anti-rebel group, they were facing a Byakugan user and a Sharingan wielder who made finding these lookouts extremely easy. That stacked upon the fact that if they got caught by anyone, Itachi would just put them under a genjutsu and they would not move or make any noise. So Itachi and So took out 2,000 soldiers since Itachi got there, and it was causing some real issues for Yagura and the anti-rebel forces. Yagura-sama, we have lost more shinobi to these two men. We must take some extreme action to combat these ninjas. Well, they are both masters in stealth, so the only way to attack this camp would be to lure them into a trap. Yagura was a 3-tailed jinjuriki, and he could easily deal with this problem, but he thought it was time to test someone's loyalty. Kisame was the most powerful ninja from the 7 swordsmen, but he had seen him becoming more disconnected from the mist village. Kisame got in trouble for leaving a battle 4 weeks ago because he was bored. Over the last 4 weeks in jail, he had said on multiple occasions that he had changed and he wanted to fight for the mist again. We will go ahead and let Kisame try to redeem himself in this mission; if he fails, we will sentence him to death. Sir Kisame is our strongest ninja. Are you sure that death is appropriate? I have no time for an untrustworthy bloodline having pawns. Kisame, you are about to receive a chance to redeem yourself, but if you fail, you will die. Will you accept this mission? Yes, I will accept this mission for the hidden mist.

Itatchi and Ao were about a minute and a half away from the next place they were going to attack when they felt an extreme chakra presence heading their way. I'll go ahead with the mission; I will stay back and keep our unwelcome guest company. Wow, so nice of you to send your comrade away, but you only quickened your death. Kisame Hoshigaki, the strongest of the 7 swordsmen, is extremely gifted with water jutsu. Oh well, it is great to know that the youth knows who I am, but who are you, child? I am Itatchi Uchia. You are the man who wrote that letter!?? There is no way a child could write something like, Who are you really?'' Itachi closed his eyes and opened up his eyes to reveal the Sharingan. Those eyes—you must be the man writing that letter. If you are, then what in the world are you doing in the mist? You must leave; there will never be hope for peace here. I have been stabbed in the back over and over again, and this village is rotten. I came here because it is a cause worth fighting for. What kind of person would I be if I did not follow through with my words? Itachi's eyes spun and turned into the pinwheel shape, and he said, "Tsukiyomi." Kisame opened up his eyes to see a world without shape and very muddled with Itachi inside. Hello Kisame, this is my strongest genjutsu. I can control time and what happens inside this world. I will show you what I have seen so you have no doubt that I am who I say that I am. Kisame saw this 14 year old child murder his whole clan and receive orders to do it by his government. He also saw Itachi put into a position where being a traitor to his village was his only choice. Why did you go against your village? I went against my village because I think I can do better in this world. I know very much about you too, Kisame. You used to have the strongest loyalty in the village, but they started to ask you to do some things that went against your moral code. What do you think is the right way for the world to kiss? The right way for the world is to change from what is going on currently. So let me get this straight. You have a bloodline limit, think that what your government is doing is wrong, and are not treated well, but you are not fighting for the rebels. Why? I am afraid I am afraid that we will fall. We do not have more numbers, and I am not stronger than Yagura. Mei is not stronger than Yagura. Everyone would look up to me wanting me to act. All I am right now is a man who just follows orders. But all I am right now is a man who just follows orders. Thank you for being honest, but don't you think that fighting for the Kiri that you grew up loving is an honorable goal? And you are right, Mei, and you cannot defeat Yagura. But you, Mei, and I can defeat Yagura. Will you come with us to make Kiri the nation it is supposed to be, or will you keep on denying the man you are supposed to be? I will join you; they are going to kill me if I fail. This Genjutsu seems like it could be very annoying to deal with anyway. A question, though? What do you do to people in here? I stab them with a blade for the equivalent of 24 hours, and they can feel the pain. Jeez, if you wanted me to join, you should have started with that.

Itachi There are 500 enemies coming our way right now; we have to leave. Yes, Ao, exploding water wave!!! An extremely huge amount of water came from Kisame, and the surrounding area became a lake. Water release 5 feeding sharks 5 sharks entered this lake and started attacking the enemy ninja. Well, I guess you have not lost your touch. Kisame, we should make it back to the base camp easily with this distraction. Mei Sama Itatchi and Ao have returned from their mission. Report Ao yes, Leader-sama, we were heading to camp 1 mile west of the capital, and we got intercepted by Kisame. Itatchi and I agreed that he would stay behind and stall Kisame. I went ahead to try to complete the mission. After silencing the first 3 guards, one got the jump on me and retreated back to their camp. Then the 500 ninja in the camp attacked me, and I fled. Itachi, you can tell the rest. Yes, when I intercepted Kisame, we talked and came to an agreement for him to join the rebels. Kisame of the 7 swordsmen has joined us! Where is he? The person at the front gate wanted your permission before letting him in. Anbu tell him to let Kisame into our office. Hi Mei, It has been a while. Yes, it has Kisame. Why is this time different than when I asked you to join me? I did not think that you and I could kill Yagura because of his jinchuriki state. But with Itachi, we can win. Well, we will make you a Jonin. I think we can both agree your style of fighting is not exactly quiet enough for ANBU. Yes, Mei Sama. I will also make you the teacher of the next generation of the swordsmen of the mist. We already have one person who is skilled with the sword; his name is Chojuro. Okay, Mei Sama, thank you for allowing me to join your rebellion. Itachi show Kisame to the shinobi living quarters so you can stay.

Ao you have been a ninja for a very long time. Can we trust Kisame? Yes, Mei-sama, he seems like he has found a new purpose in his life and friendship with Itachi. Well, with Itachi and Kisame being complete strokes of luck, we may be able to move up our time frame. Yes, Mei-sama, we have been lucky, but we are fighting a good cause. If these moving pieces keep on continuing, the Mizu we build together may be the greatest ever. Yes, but who would be their leader? It would be you, Mei-sama, right? I do not know; maybe I am not the right fit. Kisame and Itachi are stronger than me. Itachi is also looked upon as a god in this village. Nobody is more loved than him. When we first brought him here, I thought that he would act like any other 13 year old boy who chases girls and gets into petty fights with their comrades. It has been the exact opposite; he has the mind of a seasoned shinobi with a very calm demeanor, and all he is focused on is talking shortly with people that come up with him. When he is done with that, he focuses on Sasuke. Did you know that Sasuke and Mindy have become friends? It is hilarious; the first time they met, Mindy wanted to play Sasuke in Shogi, and she beat him in 20 moves. You should have seen Sasuke fuming because he was getting beaten so badly. They are so cute together. Ha ha ha. And then while all the girls are fawning over Sasuke, she is just zoning out looking at the lake. Whenever she is with him, it's hilarious. Yes, that is funny, Mei-sama, but back to Itachi: I do think that he may be able to be a good leader, but he would need you to teach him. Yes, I think that it is something I could start to do.

Sasuke, how was the academy this week? It was good, Itachi. I learned about the different elemental nations and former Mizukages. Did you know that one of the Mizukage used a clam in their jutsu? Isn't that so cool? Yes, Sasuke, it is. Itachi, can we go training? Yes, Sasuke. We can go training and get on my back. Yes, Itachi!! Wow, this forest is pretty cool. Itachi, can I show you how improved my fireball jutsu is? Yes, fire style fireball jutsu, out of Sasuke's mouth came a big fireball. That was good, but before we move on to learning a new jutsu, I want you to try to improve it by at least 20%, and I think you can do what you want to know how. Yes. You have to improve your breathing control. You have to try to practice breathing in as deeply as possible so you have perfect breathing control to maximize the fire you can produce. The reason why is that each fire jutsu comes from the lungs and stomach, and if you can maximize the amount of air you can breathe in, you can maximize every fire jutsu you ever use. Wow, that is so cool, Itachi. I will do it. The other thing I will show you just once, but you must learn in case of an emergency. I want you to force chakra into your eyes and activate your mangekyo. Yes, Itachi! Once you do, I want you to put a lot of chakra into your body and imagine a skeleton forming around you. Around Sasuke formed a bone-like structure that was purple. Okay, now deactivate it. Yes, Itachi, my eyes hurt. Yes, Sasuke, your body is not ready for the power that your eyes grant you. What I just showed you is your Susano. It is one of the greatest defensive jutsu ever in the shinobi world, and if you are ever in an emergency, you must use it and run. Yes, Itachi.

There was a man with bandages wrapped around his face with a child with an ANBU mask walking to the rebel forces gate. (6 months earlier) in the most western part of the land of earth, there were Zabuza and Haku as paid assassins. Yes, Haku, we have to do this mission. We need to stay as far away from the mist hunter ninja as possible, and this achieves that. Yes, Master Zabuza, you know how I have issues working for morally corrupt people. I know, but these are the kind of people that hire assigns like us, so you better get used to it. A hawk with an Uchiha emblem flew above Zabuza and gave him the letter. Zabuza read the letter and felt like fate was playing with his life and that he was going to be able to have a second chance at making a difference. Zabuza a year ago led an assassination attempt against the Mizukage, which failed. Zabuza had the bird come closer to him and Haku and checked the bird's location for Itachi, and it said the rebel camp of the hidden mist. Zabuza was stunned by an S-class shinobi from Konoha going to fight for the mist; that was crazy. He knew that now was the right time to head back to the mist and rejoin the village. But it could not have come at a worse time. They had strategically moved slowly to move to the opposite side of the shinobi world as the mist. The issue was that they had to go back to the mist very stealthily and slowly. They had to do this to avoid the Mists hunter ninja. Haku, we are going back to the mist. (back to present day). Well, Haku, here we are, after 6 months of traveling stealthily through the elemental nations; we are back home. Yes, my master. A person burst through the front door, Mei! It looks like a child and Zabuza are heading to the gate. What do we do? Lead them into my office. Well, Zabuza, who is this child with you? Her name is Haku; she has the Ice Release Keki Genki. Wow, I thought all of them were killed. I am glad that the world gets to have one more. Okay, Zabuza, why do you want to join the rebels? I got a letter from a Hawk that led me to this place. What a surprising thing, someone fighting for their dream in the same place that I fought for mine. Yes, Zabuza, well, I am glad you are here. I do want to ask, do you want Haku to become an orphan, or are you her guardian? I am her guardian. Sounds good, Haku, you can take off your mask. Haku, do you want Zabuza to be your guardian? Yes, I will do it for my master. Well, this is interesting timing. You are the second 7 ninja swordsman to join today. What? Who joined? Kisame. Wait, so you're telling me I get to spar with Kisame again? That will definitely make me more powerful. I will make you a jonin, and you will join Kisame to teach the next generation of swordsmen. Yes, Mei sama. Haku, how old are you? 7 years old. Okay, and she will join the academy. Ao show him to the ninja family barracks. Yes, leader sama.

End of chapter 5, we're headed to Konoha to get some growth from these characters.
