"She's at the gates, alone though." Haru suddenly informed me, nearly causing me to fall of a chair.

It was silence in the room, I was falling asleep on a chair but his voice woke me up. It was sudden. But it was the least I expected.

"Alone? In the middle of the night? Isn't Shizune with her?" I questioned, standing up from the chair, rubbing my eye.

He shook his head. "She's alone. Who's Shizune?"

"What is she thinking?" I raised an eye brow before exiting from the window.

Jumping from roof top to roof top, finally the gate came into sight. At the very top of the gate sat a lady figure, starring up into the sky.

I leaped onto the gate, taking a seat beside her. She turned her head, looking at me startled.

"Who is it?" I asked, causing her to look at me weirdly. "The person you're thinking off. Don't try to lie, I can tell."

She glanced at me before turning her head, starring back into the blank sky.

"Dan and Nawaki. They both wanted to be hokage but died because I gave them the necklace." She said, her voice full of sorrow as she scooped up a necklace that was hanging on her neck, holding it tight.

"Since you're going to be hokage eventually, I might as well tell you if you're going to know anyways." I laughed, looking at the sky.

It was dark this time round. There were no stars neither was there a moon. It was complete emptiness.

She looked at me confused but that confusion somehow turned into some sort of anger. "But I never said I would be, why do you think I'll take on the job? Only fools would become hokage, sacrificing their life for the village."

"My instincts tell me so. I'm not in a place to comment on whether hokage's are fools or not so we'll leave that for you to answer when you become one." I said, not taking my eyes off the empty sky. "I'm Itsuko Uchiha, the nine-tails jinchuriki and captain of the anbu. I'm also known as The Wind Assasin. Pitiful isn't it? Such position being taken by such a horrible person. The whole village detests me despite my efforts as anbu captain. That will never change but I understand your feelings. The feelings of being treated like an outcast. When my parents were alive, I was never loved. It was probably better for them if I never existed. The only people who treated me like family died. The only one alive is a total idiot waiting to die." The thought of him made me laugh a little.

"I know Danzo was the one that encouraged sending you away saying you were a threat but unfortunately he's still alive and well today. Could I ask you return to being that threat, being the hokage? I'm sure Danzo hates me so badly he would use any opportunity to get rid of me but Lord Third likes to comment on my determination. I'm not giving up. I'm not letting Danzo win this. I need your help, become hokage in Nawaki and Dan's place and keep Danzo away from that seat he wants so badly. Tch, this is why I hate talking so much." I laughed at the last sentence, standing up.

"Wait-" She said, holding onto me.

"Tell Jiraiya your answer. I'll be waiting for you." I smiled, teleporting away, leaving a few leaves floating around in my place.

-

I've spent so much time talking it's already morning. I yawned, slowly strolling back to the inn.

"Haru, you're job is over. Thanks." I said as I entered the room, patting him on the shoulder. He let out a sigh.

"I'll be going then." He said before leaving, closing the door behind him.

I sat on the bed, letting out a sigh before falling onto the bed, falling asleep. I needed my everyday sleep.

"Wake up. Bad news, Naruto's in trouble. It's your brother." Kurama said. I shot up from my bed, immediately awake.

I looked outside, it was already afternoon. Kurama said they were at the next village. Stupid pervert was out doing his things again, leaving Naruto.

I teleported over to Naruto, standing in front of him, facing Itachi. Beside him stood Kisame Hoshigaki, another one of the Akatsuki members I suppose. After all Kisame is a criminal too.

I activated my sharingan and so did Itachi. It'd be stupid not to.

"Itsuko."

"Itachi."

We both said each others name at the same time, narrowing our eye at each other.

"Can we just get the nine tails? It's more convenient now that both of them are here." Kisame grunted. Suddenly his sword wobbled. He took his sword and took off the bandage wrapping it. "Samehada is excited already."

Itachi swung his hand in front of Kisame, stopping Kisame from attacking. "No. You can't get them. They're too strong together even for you and I."

"You got to be kidding me!" Kisame exclaimed, rolling his eyes before making eye contact with me. I casted a Tsukuyomi on him, making him pass out. It was to get him to stay out of this fight.

After Kisame was taken care of, I glanced over at Itachi. "What's your plan this time? Take me and Naruto away?"

He narrowed his eye, opening his mouth to answer but before he could answer, Sasuke came crashing in. He was sliding Chidori along the walls, rushing towards Itachi.

That one is another Idiot.

Itachi caught Sasuke's arm, throwing Sasuke at me. The Chidori Sasuke intended to use against Itachi was noe sent at me.

I caught the flying Sasuke and threw it back at Itachi at full strength. Dodging it, Itachi allowed Sasuke to hit the wall, causing the wall to crack from the Chidori earlier. That hit also caused Sasuke to start bleeding.

While Sasuke was having trouble standing up to face Itachi again, Itachi went up against me.

"Fire Style: FireBall Jutsu." Both of Itsuko and Itachi said at the same time, using the same jutsu.

The Fireball Justu eliminated each other, causing smoke around. Itachi stood at his spot, he didn't move, the smoke was too thick for him to see. However he was on guard.

"Wind Style: Illusional Bond." He heard Itsuko mumble but had no idea where she was coming from. He was well aware of the danger of this jutsu. It was a jutsu Itsuko had been using ever since she was a child. It was a jutsu he tried copying multiple times but had always failed.

Just as the smoke started to clear, he could see Itsuko in front of him, with her katana. He leaped, continuing with an immediate roll. As he expected, the Itsuko that came at her was an Illusion and the real one was going to come from above. With his move, he dodged it but not completely. Itsuko was still too fast for him. His arm still got a deep cut.

Breaking free from her genjutsu, he found her gone but he and Kisame were trapped in one of Jiraiya's jutsu.

The walls were now the belly of a frog. Thick. It was almost impossible but escape unless the user of the jutsu allows you to.

Jiraiya and Naruto were standing in front of Sasuke in fighting stance. Itachi knew he had no chance, not against Jiraiya and Itsuko. Itsuko alone was already impossible for him to defeat.

"Fire Style: FireBall Jutsu." Itachi said softly, under his breath. He sent a fireball in between Jiraiya and Naruto, straight for Sasuke. The fireball hit the wall causing a thick smoke around, Jiraiya managed to get Sasuke but Sasuke was already very badly hurt. When the smoke cleared, Itachi already took Kisame and escaped using Amatersu to burn a hole in the frog's belly.

Upon releasing the jutsu, Jiraiya came face to face with Itsuko who was glaring at him, itching to kill him. Jiraiya let Lord third die then he let Naruto encounter danger, that was enough reason for Itsuko to kill him.

Jiraiya looked at her nervously. "This isn't the time to go against each other. Danzo has taken the seat of hokage. We have to stop him."

"He has what?!" She yelled, eyes filled with fury.

"That's why I'm looking for Tsunade. Maybe we can get the council to reconsider." Jiraiya explained to Itsuko.

"Reconsider? Do you honestly think Danzo will even let Tsunade step foot into the village? He's a dirty man Jiraiya. His hands may seem clean but they're dirtier than any one of you can imagine. Tch, whatever. Just go get Tsunade whatever it takes, make her agree to become hokage. I'll handle Danzo." Itsuko said, picking Sasuke up, throwing him over her shoulder. She was slightly too rough, causing Sasuke to cough out blood.

Itsuko ignored that, walking towards the exit. The atmosphere was definitely not one you'd want to ever experienced. It even sent chills down Jiraiya's spine.

Itsuko extinguished the flames before jumping off from the hole Itachi made, heading towards the village Jiraiya supposed.

Naruto swallowed a gulp down his throat before saying "She's scary..."

"You bet she is..." Jiraiya said as a chill ran down his spine again.
