An Itachi Fanfiction [EDITING]

The Infinite Tsukuyomi

The moment Sasuke and I returned to the battlefield, chaos swallowed us.

Madara stood across from Naruto, the pressure of his chakra so overwhelming that every instinct in my body screamed at me to move.

But I had something else to do first.

"Kakashi Sensei!"

I ran toward him.

He turned just as I grabbed his hand.

"(Y/N)—?"

"Don't fight it."

I pushed my chakra into him.

His eye widened.

After everything I'd already done—healing Naruto, replenishing Sakura's chakra, teleporting repeatedly—I should have been exhausted.

Instead, Hagoromo's chakra still burned inside me.

I released Kakashi's hand.

"Can you get me into the Kamui dimension?"

His gaze immediately shifted toward Madara.

Then toward me.

"You know Obito is there."

"I know."

"And Sakura."

"I know."

He studied me for another moment before nodding.

"All right."

I turned my head.

Sasuke was already beside Naruto.

Our eyes met.

I didn't know why, but after everything Hagoromo had shown me, I found myself looking at Sasuke differently.

Not with forgiveness.

Not yet.

But hope.

I'll be back.

Then space twisted around me.

⸻

I landed inside the Kamui dimension.

And immediately drew my kunai.

Sakura stood several feet away.

Obito was kneeling in front of her.

Her kunai hovered inches from his Rinnegan.

Her hand was shaking.

"Hurry," Obito rasped. "Destroy it."

Black Zetsu covered half his body.

"I can't hold him back much longer."

Sakura swallowed.

She tried.

Her hand moved—

then stopped.

"Sakura."

Her head snapped toward me.

"(Y/N)?!"

I approached slowly.

"I'll do it."

Relief and guilt crossed her face simultaneously.

"I—"

"It's okay."

I stopped beside her.

"You've done enough."

Obito's eye met mine.

The last time I'd seen those eyes, he'd been saving Naruto.

Before that?
