Chapter 15- A Flickering Light

Once upon a time, there was a girl who wrote a story and uploaded super late. Her readers hated her guts for it since she left them hanging. Now that she uploaded with an apology, she hoped to be able to have time to upload more since school has started. Anyway, this girl wants to say here is the next chapter and ENJOY! 

.................

The forest leafs danced and sang as the wind joined them in union and harmony. The music they formed washed across the water and village with melody. The leafs fell to the ground silently, twirling in the air gradually. The village was peaceful tonight.

The stars shone above Madara's head as his eyes began to count and connect them. “They changed”, he spoke alone to the trees and insects about. “These are all... new stars...”

A new part of the galaxy. A new transition. A new world. New stars. This was what he'd been waiting for. His pupil did not disappoint him yet... and once the transition was complete... he promised himself that he would destroy anyone who could avenge his monopoly.

With a sigh, he looked around. He could not help but think... The village was at peace tonight.

Chapter 15- A Flickering Light

It felt like I could taste the bitter taste of death as that grimly heel descended on me. And in a second, everything vanished, leaving the world exposed to a white bright light blinding me with its luminous rays. Moments passed as the light persisted and my eyes burnt from its magnetic waves. Instantly, I was certain I had begun my transition into the afterlife as my body felt afloat and my weight became lighter than that of a feather's. It all felt surreal until the chattering of humans ignited. Sounds echoed and bounced off the walls as the foundation of speech poured in like a rippling ocean awakening my sensations of life with a heave of breath. Bright lights danced on my face and the tips of my lashes as my eyes squinted in pain. A slight burning sensation poured into my eyes as I gazed above. A heat wave gradually rose about as the humid air returned with the fruitful aroma of the baskets of the Brazilian market. The heat struck hard above my head causing my breathing to diminish along with a forceful sweat to form.

Gradually, I attempted to move about only to find the limitation of my movements a set back. Heavy entanglements of the wrapping shadow enveloped me securely. Gazing to my sides I found both Shikaku and Shikamaru had traveled back with me. It was a shock to see their blazing red eyes peer into mine with determination. Their stone hypnotized features prevailed as a dark presence engulfed their consciousness. Slowly, the look of their irises diminished from red to black as their minds slowly awoken from the heavy world transition. Their bodies wobbled back and forth in a dizzied motion as their grip on me loosened causing their shadow jutsu to fractured a degree. Quickly, before their minds were capable of grasping reality, I placed them under my own genjutsu spell as I forced their grip on me to vanish. Time elapsed within my spell as their minds fooled them into the feeling of old age. Their skin wrinkled and their hair greyed as their ability to resist me diminished greatly with no consequence.

The staggering realization struck them with bafflement. "Welcome", I arrived beside them as their own strangle jutsu began to entangle themselves. The widening of their eyes grew with fear as their faces paled deep snow white.

"Itachi Uchiha", Shikaku muttered with a sickening glare, "Why are you here?"

A naive question. "That question should be directed toward you. You shouldn't be here." Curiosity motioned my body with desire for the slightest knowledge to their arrival. Investigating the components of their pockets, I found no evidence of a card. Nothing leading to the thought that they had been summoned here like I was. There arrival was mysterious and odd. Like an outside force brought them here. Or they had been dropped out of their world, rejected by a negative force, only to end up in this one.
