Uchiha Heiress

Chapter 18

"I brought you into this dimension for privacy reasons.. Now, the man you know as Tobi does not exist. He is, like me, a member of the Uchiha clan." "Psch tell me something I don't know" Itachi glared before continuing "Once I reveal to you who he is you must not return to the akatsuki. You must go forth and gain the power you seek if you are to survive your battle with him." Wait what? "Battle? What do you mean battle?" "He will kill anyone to keep his true identity concealed" "Itachi.. does that mean he will come after you too?" Itachi smirked "He doesn't have enough power to defeat me .. yet. Now do we have a deal?" Well I did have to deliver that scroll to Orochimaru anyway... But Tobi and I had gotten along lately.. maybe that was just apart of his act.. either way I nodded, eagerly awaiting to discover who Tobi really was. "He is Madara Uchiha. He became immortal shortly after leaving the hidden leaf but at the cost of most of his ninjutsu" I was frozen to the spot in disbelief.. all this time.. I had been around one of the strongest Uchiha's.. "I can sense his chakra in the distance.. now you are to do as you promised." The genjutsu was released and I grabbed my bag and headed off towards Orochimaru's hideout. I hope you were right about being stronger than him Itachi.. It was hard leaving Itachi behind knowing just how dangerous Tobi really was.. after all he was like a brother to me. Yelling came from behind me and I knew that Tobi had already discovered Itachi's whereabouts. I moved faster and faster until I came upon the sound village. The streets were eerily quiet.. come to think of it I didn't know where Orochimaru's hideout was here. Crap.. Just as I was about to enter a shop I spotted Kabuto leaning on a post watching me. "Orochimaru said you were coming. Did you get the scroll?" I didn't like the attitude on this kid.. did I get the scroll? pft I'm no amature. I nodded my head and followed him to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's lair was more or less ancient ruins.. the hallway was never ending, filled with rooms and twists and turns.. I stuck close to Kabuto so I didnt get lost. Kabuto turned into a giant room where Orochimaru sat on a throne in the center. "My child I was beginning to worry.." I took out the scroll and began to hand it to him but yanked it back when Kabuto tried to snatch it from my hands. "What's the big idea!" "Kabuto why don't you go and run some more tests" We deathglared each other as he exited the room. I turned back and handed the scroll over. "You've done well my child, now if you are to gain power you will need a strong training partner.. ahh yes perfect timing" "You wanted to see me" I turned to see the handsome young man who had entered the room. His raven hair and facial features reminded me of Itachi.. could this be Sasuke? How did he end up here.. "Sasuke this will be your new play thing.. She has the potential to be as strong as yourself" He never averted his eyes from the sanin and we stood there in silence until Kabuto re-entered the room. "I have prepared a specimen to test her skills.. I just hope he isn't too strong" Right that's it! I whipped out a shuriken and tossed it at the grinning idiot who was completely unaware until it sliced his cheek and landed in the wall behind him. He assumed a fighting stance and as we were about to go at it Orochimaru stood between us. Kabuto stopped instantly but I remained on the defensive. "Eager to show your worth aren't you" He chuckled before leading the way to the arena.

The arena was similar to that of the akatsuki's, dirt covered the floors and the concrete walls towered over me. Orochimaru and Sasuke stood, watching me from above. I'll give them a show.. A gate opened and a monster appeared (see picture). Clearly he had already evolved into the second stage so I allowed the curse mark to take over. I lifted myself into the air to avoid his massive tail. He was powerful but slow.. if I could avoid his tail long enough to get close I could take him down. I decided instead to use my new jutsu that Itachi had taught me.. maybe I should use the amaterasu on Kabuto and pretend it was an accident. I snickered at the thought but an earthquake caused by my opponent quickly brought me back to reality. I decided tsukoyomi was my best option and I looked him in the eyes, taking him to another world. His screams of pure agony echoed and after what seemed like hours I released him. His curse mark had retracted and the young man had collapsed to the floor. *Clap Clap "Now finish him Mikio" I turned to Orochimaru and shook my head.. the poor guy had suffered enough. Unhappy with my answer he nudged Kabuto who jumped down and brushed past me. I kept my eyes on Orochimaru but I could hear the screams from behind me then everything fell silent. Kabuto returned to Orochimaru's side and they left me and Sasuke alone. I turned toward the body, lifted him in my arms and took him outside to bury. "Not much of a shinobi are you" I ignored Sasuke, placed down some flowers and headed inside. His hand caught my arm and our eyes locked, sharingans activated. He released me and I continued on to find my room.
