One Last Chance

Chapter: 5

"Kakashi Senpai, any plan, my father is really strong. As much as I can guess you must be low on chakra. So do you have a plan?"

"Yes, I have a few but for me to choose we need to assess the situation with our own eyes so let's move quickly."

Itachi and Kakashi kept jumping from one tree to another as they finally were in the range to watch the condition and what they saw was nothing but a total mess. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage was on his knees with Uchiha Fugaku standing in front of him along with the old Hokage's once student, Orochimaru of the legendary sannin.

"You have grown old sensei." The hebi sennin exclaimed with a satisfied grin on his face while Hiruzen just gritted his teeth. He looked behind himself and saw his personal guard frozen on their spot.

Next to them was Kakuzu, an S-rank nuke nin of Takigakure who was a very tall, tan-skinned man with long dark-brown hair. His eyes had an unusual colouring, green irides, no pupils and red sclerae. He appeared as a man well in his prime, retaining a very muscular build. He had a black mask over his lower face. He donned a grey hood which covered his hair. His Takigakure hitai-ate had a scratch in the middle which symbolised that he was no longer loyal to it, and grey pants with matching shinobi sandals.

"I never expected you to be so strong, Sarutobi Hiruzen. That tree bastard, Hashirama would be proud of you."

"We take that name with respect, you know."

The three turned around and saw Itachi and Kakashi standing there with two women.

On Kakashi's side was Mitarashi Anko, an average-sized, young woman who was of a slender frame. She has light brown, pupil-less eyes. Her violet hair was styled in a short, spiky, fanned-out ponytail. She was wearing a thin metal mesh to fit the lines of her body, that covers her from neck to thigh. Over this, she had a tan overcoat with a pocket on each side, a dark orange mini-skirt, a dark blue belt, and pale grey shin guards. In addition to the typical hitai-ate, she also wears a small pendant that looks like a snake fang.

On Itachi's side was Uzuki Yūgao or Neko which was her Anbu codename. She was a young woman with straight, purple hair reaching down to her waist, and warm brown eyes. Like every Anbu member, Yūgao had her face covered with a porcelain mask which resembled a cat. She was also wearing the standard Anbu uniform, consisting of black and grey armour, metal arm guards and a katana strapped to her back. Her signature Anbu tattoo was on her right shoulder.

"I thought you had a plan, but you are giving an entry with words." Itachi's Sharingan flared and three black tomoe appeared in blood-red eyes.

"With how grave a situation we are stuck in, executing a plan is far, creating one is difficult and I am no Nara. We needed to bring their attention to us or they would have killed Hokage-sama the next moment." Kakashi showed his own Sharingan.

"Well, now you have it." Anko licked her kunai as her killing intent can be easily felt, specifically by her snake sensei.

"Kukuku, if it isn't my Anko, looks like you have grown into a fine kunoichi." Orochimaru gave her the identical smile which has traumatized her in her sleep often.

"Don't take my name with such affection, I will skin you alive."

"If it isn't the infamous Hatake Kakashi, the copy ninja, the man who knows over a thousand Jutsu. You have a nice bounty over your head from every major and minor nation excluding the ones who are in alliance with Konoha. So you will be my opponent."

"Itachi take care of your father, Anko Orochimaru, Yugito despite Hokage-sama and fallen Anbu members having taken out a lot of Uchiha but take care of the rest. Understood?" All of them nodded and advanced towards their target.
