=====================3RD POV====================

"Alright. Just don't go too over the top."(Aki) After their little conversation, Aki and Itachi had at the bottom the cliff. Aki became a little possesive and protective. Itachi noticed this, but also understood why. So he wasn't going to question it.

"Don't worry too much."(Itachi) Itachi's plan to exploit Aisuchiru[Eye Steal], was to take the eyes of Iwagkure[Hidden Stone] ninjas and increase his strength. Little by little. With his current strength, taking the eyes of powerful shonobi, such as Madara, would definitely be a horrible decision.

"Go further, I can't sense any isolated Iwagkure[Hidden Stone] ninjas."(Aki)

"How does your ablility work anyway?"(Itachi)

"It's called Aura Sense. It's like a third eye. I can see the aura of a person with it. The aura resembles Chakra cloaks but everyone has their own unqiue aura. However, those who are grouped together share some sort of attribute within their aura."(Aki)

"That's really a convenient ability."(Itachi) Itachi was impressed by her ablility.

"Mm-hmp. But since I already used most of my mental strength creating the Narutoverse, I have to limit it by 1 mile."(Aki)

"That's still a long distance."(Itachi)

"Not when you're me."(Aki) Itachi and Aki searched countinously, leaping through trees in the vast forest, trying to find lone Iwagkure[Hidden Stone] ninjas, but were unsuccessful. Aki did find several Iwagkure[Hidden Stone] ninja, however, they were grouped up. Usually forming a 7-man team.

Itachi decided to rest for awhile. He burned too much Chakra using the Sharingan, and wasn't phyiscally capable of continuing any further without rest.

"*Sigh*. I thought this would be easy. Oh well."(Itachi) Itachi wasn't impatient because of his calm mind. But definitely irritated by his failures.

"Hide! There's 3 ninja several kilometers away from you!."(Aki)

" What? Which direction?"(Itachi)

"Their coming from your left! Run idiot!"(Aki) Itachi was hesitant, although it would be dangerous, he could ambush them. If he ran, all his plans would be ruined. This was the perfect chance.

"Sorry Aki, but I have to do this."(Itachi) Gripping his Kunai tight, Itachi climbed onto a thick tree branch and hid himself in the clustered leaves.

"NO! Don't! One of them is a Jonin level ninja!"(Aki) Aki started to panic. She had many reasons to be worried, but sadly, Itachi was persistant.

"Aki please! Just help. I appreciate your worrying but I can't just run everytime there's danger."(Me)

"..Grrrah!!.."(Aki) Aki was frustrated by his persistance.

"How far are they now?"(Itachi)

"..."(Aki)

".. Trust me Aki. If it's dangerous, I can just escape. I'm sure they wouldn't chase a 4 year old."(Me)

"Aki?"(Itachi) Aki was thinking carefully. What else could she do? If she couldn't convince him, then atleast she could support him.

"*sigh* Fine! They're moving unusually slow. But it's still fast."(Aki) She sounded angry and annoyed. Itachi didn't pay much attention, because he thought she would eventually calm down. As that was the case with most women. With his quick-witted mind, he started to plan his ambush.

"Their slow movements could indicate that they're currently injured."(Itachi)

Itachi opened his Ninja pouch and reached out for Food pills. Grabbing the last of his Food pills, he threw the Food pills in his mouth and swallowed them.

NOTICE

-Chakra and Energy has been restored.

"Ah, I ran out of Food pills."(Me) With the burst of energy and Chakra, Itachi made a clone seal with his hands,

"Shadow Clone Justu!"(Me) Spliting his Chakra by 2/3, Itachi created 2 Shadow Clones, which were armed with a Kunai in each hand.

NOTICE

-WARNING. You have reached your clone limit.

-Because you split your Chakra to your clones. You can only use 2/3 of your Chakra.

"We wait and hide, until they reach this area. When they arrive, activate your Sharingan and attack the other two Ninja. Be quick about it. I'll get the Jounin. Got that?"(Me) The clones nodded in agreement. One of the clones hid behind a tree several meters infront of Itachi hiding position, and the other clone concealed himself in a thick dark-green bush. They all waited in anticipation, awaiting their targets.

"Aki, how long until they reach this area?"(Me)

"Ughh, your just treating me like some guide and not a person!"(Aki) Aki's voice sounded heartbroken and was on the verge of tears. Itachi started feeling guility for treating her this way. So with the best apologectic voice he could muster, he apologized.

"I-I'm sorry. I'm just trying to be serious. I... I.."(Me) Although knowing what to say, Itachi's introverted mind was flustered. His thoughts went all over the place.

"*cries*"(Aki) Itachi felt like he lost something important and tears started slid across his face. His eyes started to itch and felt like it was burning.

"I'm sorry! Please, I didn't really mean to treat you this way."(Me) Trying to reorginize his thoughts, Itachi apologized.

".... *sniff* It's ok.. I should be the one who's sorry. *sniff* I didn't consider your opinions and selfishly thought for myself.."(Aki)

"No.. It's my fault for making you this unhappy and worried."(Me) Itachi was yearning for a hug. To comfort Aki and himself. He wiped the tears off his face with his arm. And stood on the thick bushy tree branch in slience, trying to calm down.

"It's fine. I shouldn't be acting this way. Anyway, don't you have something to do? They're approaching this area really soon."(Aki) He remembered what he was supposed be doing.

"Oh right. Sorry."(Me) Aki mysteriously became cheerful and reminded him. With eyes still throbbing, he waited.

"Come on! *pant* Keep moving, we have to find a place to rest and heal up *pant"(Jounin Ninja) The Jounin Ninja held her comrade's left arm and lifted him up to support him. The Chunin who was teamed with them, tiredly gripped the falling comrade's hand and also helped him up.

"We just *pant* have to *pant* keeping moving."(Chunin Ninja) The other Chunin who was being assisted by his comrades held a thankful face.

"Sorry for slowing you guys down."(Chunin Ninja #2)

"It's fine Oyashiro."(Jounin)

"Yeah, we're going to survive this together. For Konda remember?"(Chunin Ninja) The Chunin ninja took handful of Food pills and handed them to Oyashiro. Oyashiro lifted his hand and gently pushed them away.

"It's ok Arita."(Oyashiro)

"No, just take them, you'll need it."(Arita) With a smile, Oyashiro accepted the Food pills and swallowed them.

"I just wish this war would stop already. So I can go home."(Oyashiro) Arita looked at the beige-haired boy. His sandy pale hair barely reached his cheeks. Her cheeks started to reddend

"What's wrong?"(Oyashiro)

"Nothing Oyashiro. Nothing at all!~"(Arita) She hid her flustered face with her hands and increased her pace.

"Wait! Don't move."(Jounin Ninja) The Jounin Ninja felt that something was wrong. Airta stopped moving and ran near her sensei. Although confused, Arita did what she was told because of her serious voice. They all held their Kunai, looking around, searching for the enemy in the forest.

"What's wrong Yone-sensei?"(Airta)

"COME OUT!"(Yoneda) The group sticked close to eachothers' backs and waited trembling in anxiety. Yoneda squinted her eyes, trying to locate the attacker. Several Kunais flew to their direction, all three of them turned their bodies around and kicked their feet to boost their body, dodging the Kunais. Knowing that the Kunais was aimed at the middle, Yoneda determined the Kunai as a distract or a way to seperate them.

But before she could warn Arita and Oyashiro, 2 minuscule dark figures with gleaming red eyes came out of different directions and started attacking them. Yoneda jumped towards his companions but was blocked by a another dark figure. The dark figure attacked from left to right, trying to attack open spots. Yoneda barely dodged the figure's attacks. Although Yoneda was extremly exhausted from her earlier fights, she was also a Jounin and was considered a genius second to Oyashiro in her family.

The dark figures' movements could be considered Jounin level, but Yoneda noticed slight hesitation in the barrage of attacks from the dark figure. So she took advantage of the hesitation and stopped blocking and directly attacked, leaving a spot open. The dark figure hesitated, knowing that her calculations were correct, she smiled and made a clean small horizontal slice on the left arm of the dark figure and the Kunai slipped out of the figure's hand. She stared at the small figure's eyes, but her smile faded, as she noticed her mistake. The figure's eyes were shaped as three spiralling curves around pupils, her heart skipped a beat, as she remembered the name of the eyes.

"Mangekyō Sharingan!"(Yoneda) Her body stopped moving, as she was under a genjustu from her fatal mistake. The figure reached out to her eyes with a claw hand and ripped her left eye out. Her left socket started to bleed.

"Yoneda-sensei!"(Oyashiro)

"Yone-sensei!"(Arita) They ignored the dark figures and ran to their sensei. Oyashiro felt helpless and felt strong desire towards protecting his master. His hair begins to stand up and his reddish eyes that had a similar shape as Sage mode eyes, started bleeding. Noticing this, the figures quickly retreated. Oyashiro created a rod with Yoneda's blood and sent it flying at one of the figures. The figure was stabbed straight through the heart, but then it disapeared in smoke. Feeling exhausted, Oyashiro's eyes turned back to his usual black color and his hair sat back down. His body felt numb and his eyes started to itch. He fell on the floor, tired.

"Oyashiro!"(Arita) Her tears fell onto Oyashiro's face as she sat near his tired body and stared directly on his eyes.

"SHIT!"(Itachi) Retreating, Itachi cursed as he held his wound on his right arm which held the eye of the Jounin. Trying to keep his eyes on, he leaped through the thick tree branches, trying to get back to the Village. His eyes throbbed and stang, wanting to rest.

"See! I told you it would be a horrible idea!"(Aki)

"No pain, no gain. Heh"(Itachi) Itachi painfully smirked.

"Men and their morals."(Aki) Groaning, she used her Aura Sense, incase of enemy danger. The clone that was following him disapated.
