Chapter 1, Part 2

"Lady Ayame! Where should we put the next group of children?" A slim figure approached the woman, who was standing at the edge of a tall building.

The man before her was kneeling, waiting for her response. "In Cellular Four. Ensure they receive the same treatment as the other criminals." She responded coldly, with narrowed eyes.

He bowed and disappeared as he went to do what she asked.

Then someone new approached. "My dear, Lady Ayame. You seem to be taking this job quite seriously."

The woman turned to face the new man. Her appearance was flawless. Beautiful brown long hair, a pastel shirt with long sleeves, and a black tight skirt designed for battle.

Her hands were concealed within her sleeves. She had a serious expression on her face and made certain she was facing the ground with closed eyes.

The air around them was thick, making anyone uneasy-except him.

"Kuro, you know I will always consider this request serious. Especially considering that these people are criminals." The woman in front of him opened her eyes to reveal blue eyes and a glowing star pattern.

"It appears that your eyes are as close as ever to meeting all of their needs. One look into anyone's future, and there is no turning back." Ayame laughed.

She turned around and walked to the edge of the building. Wind blew in between them, causing their hair to tangle. "Kuro, it is time." Ayame spoke as she cast one last glance at Kuro, who then vanished.

Ayame then jumped off. She closed her eyes and directed chakra into them. She opened them wide and looked to the future. Trees, land, and a window. Her star pattern rotated, allowing her to unlock the next phase of it. The third.

More stars appeared in her eyes, and she made hand signs. As she stepped on the wall in front of her to propel herself to another location, lighting surrounded her.

A frame appeared, and she jumped into it, landing on top of a building.

As she approached the building, the men bowed quickly. With one glance into their futures, she knew which one had betrayed her. "The one on the left, approach me." She spoke harshly.

The man bowed in front of her, and she stabbed him with her kunai. "Traitor," she muttered beneath her breath.

She spoke again as she turned back to the building's edge. "Your lady has instructed you all to report to the capital. The castle comes next. We will not fail this time."

"Indeed, Lady Ayame." They all responded, quickly reporting to their designated location.

Lady Ayame. She comes from an old clan that is known for their ability to predict the future. Every hundred years, a special child is born with the Hoshigan-the eyes of fate-which enable them to see into the future.

After the Second Great Ninja War, that clan became extinct. They were seen as a threat.

A new enemy will soon approach Konoha. Women, children. Sacrifices are necessary if she wants to kill every criminal who carries the Hoshizoro clan's old blood.

Lady Ayame will not fail.

Itachi walked through the village, hands in his pockets. "Itachi, why do not we go train like we used to do? "This time, there is no reason for you to say no," Sasuke stated.

The raven chuckled, "Let us go then. I have no missions right now."

Both Uchiha approached a training ground and immediately took positions. Sasuke stood across from him, sword ready. Itachi was standing there empty-handed.

As soon as Sasuke said the words, Itachi made some hand gestures and pulled out some shuriken.

Itachi's shuriken jutsu is always executed flawlessly, and he gets the angles exactly right.

Sasuke dodged each one and moved into close combat. Itachi pulled out a kunai and blocked his sword from striking him.

Kicking him, he flipped him over and attempted to get away.

However, Sasuke landed perfectly and kicked Itachi, causing him to trip slightly.

Itachi quickly got control of himself and threw more shuriken at him. Sasuke kicked them all away before charging towards him with his chidori.

Itachi's grin spread as he performed a genjutsu on Sasuke.

He was able to stop it before it could cause any further damage to him.

Itachi got close enough and kicked him, knocking Sasuke backwards.

He landed hard on the floor, breathing heavily.

"You are as strong as ever..." Sasuke spoke as he looked up to meet Itachi's hand.

Sasuke accepted it and rose with a smile. "No, you have surpassed me. It was pure luck that I was able to defeat you this time," Itachi explained calmly.

They both stood in silence, smiling at each other.

For Itachi, it wasn't long ago that he wanted him to kill him. End his suffering and save the world. He recalled every memory he had of Sasuke from his youth. He would carry him on his back and laugh as they returned to the compound.

Now, they are older, and Sasuke has new goals. Travel the world and atone for the crimes and sins he had committed.

Itachi was a proud older brother, and he would not have it any other way.
