Uchiha Heiress

chapter 14

He folded his arms across his chest an demanded to know where we had been "Just out.. to get a snack?" He glared at me through his mask "Next time you ask.. got it?" "Yeah yeah" I waved off his threatening tone but before he had a chance to lecture me some more some one knocked on my door and entered. Thank god for Itachi. I beamed a smile at him as his eyes shifted between me and Tobi. "Itachi sama! Tobi was just talking with pretty lady about controlling her jutsu better.. Tobi is a good boy!" And with that he ran out of my room, arms flailing about. Itachi sweatdropped as he watched Tobi run down the hallway into Deidara's room. "Would you like some help controlling your sharingan?" I nodded excitedly and followed Itachi into the training arena. For several days all I did was train with Itachi and the whole time I felt a presence watching over me.. I learnt susanoo and genjutsu and today Itachi was going to teach me a really powerful move. I woke up early, eager to begin my training session. I knocked on Itachi's door but when he didn't answer I entered and pounced on his sleeping form.. or at least what I thought was his sleeping form.. "You weren't trying to sneak up on me were you Mikio?" I turned to Itachi who casually came out of his bathroom and then down at the pillows I had landed on. "Of course not sensei!" I giggled before walking with him to the arena. "Hey Itachi.. why are you teaching me these jutsu?" He continued to walk but at a slower pace. "One day you will be tested by someone far greater than Orochimaru.. and if the Uchiha clan is to survive then it is imperitive that you live.." "Someone greater than Orochimaru sensei?" He simply nodded his head and stopped walking. He glanced over my shoulder at something but quickly averted his gaze. "Sensei what's wrong? Why have we stopped?" I turned to see what he had looked at but nothing was there.. I thought I felt a slight chakra but it vanished within seconds. "Come now it's time to learn your new jutsu" I turned back to him excitedly "Right!" After learning the handsigns Itachi warned me that it would hurt and if I did the jutsu too much I would be blind. "If it is going to make me blind.. then why would I want to learn it?" "When your in a life-death situation.. its good to have this jutsu. Aim at that tree over there.. Now begin" I nodded and concentrated whilst doing the handsigns "Amaterasu" As soon as I had cast the jutsu blood poured out of my eye and I squealed in pain.. the tree had been consumed by the powerful jutsu but at what cost? I looked up at Itachi who had stopped the flames with his own sharingan and turned to see if I was alright. I nodded before heading back to my room to clean the blood from my face.

I splashed the cold water on my face and with my eyes closed, I reached for the towel I had placed next to the basin. "Where did I put that thing?" I muttered still searching.. "So I hear you have been training with Itachi" I froze at the sound of Tobi's true voice. He passed me the towel and I quickly dried my face before looking up at him. "Yeah he is teaching me how to use new-" "It stops now" His voice was calm yet decisive. "You can't just order-" I stopped short and closed my eyes as he activated his sharingan. "I'm alot stronger now you know.. one day I'll be even stronger than you.. whoever you are" He chuckled at my words before leaving. I heard my bedroom door shut and I knew it was safe to open my eyes again. He wasn't such a bad guy.. sometimes.

Tobi's p.o.v

I resumed my normal seat near the arena watching Itachi training Mikio. Itachi turned in my direction and I made sure that my chakra was concealed.. it was almost as if he had seen me but I knew that was impossible. Mikio tried to see what Itachi was looking at.. Her blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight.. they were so unusual for an Uchiha but were so beautiful. Itachi called for them to begin and her blue eyes turned into red and black. I gripped the dirt beneath me when I realized what jutsu he was teaching.. how dare he teach her the amaterasu! She won't be able to handle it! I had to hold myself back from stopping them.. I watched in agony from the sidelines as she did the handsigns and took aim at a distant tree "Amaterasu!" .. The tree was instantly consumed by a sea of black flames.. She did it? I had underestimated her. She began to squeal in pain as blood flowed across her cheek. I grit my teeth before heading off to see Pain.. these training sessions had to stop.

Normal p.o.v

I slid under my covers and thought about Itachi's words from earlier.. "..tested by someone far greater than Orochimaru..." Who could it be? and what would they want with me? I have to be even stronger.. I have learnt all that Itachi can teach me.. I must make my way to Orochimaru. I yawned and gradually slipped into the darkness.
