This is the story of the last three members of the Uchiha clan and their friends from other clans; eg. the Uzumaki clan.
Chapter 11 - A Battle of Friendship, Family and Freedom
Sasuke had placed Lilly in a bed to let her sleep, before heading back down to see how everyone else was doing. Zack was not in a good mood, he was surprisingly pissed off and he was the kind of person that would rarely get pissed off easily. Maybe the fact that he wouldn't be able to fight anymore for a few months because of his broken arm was the reason why.
Itachi wanted to speak to Zack, knowing that he was a trustworthy person. Sasuke had a fair enough idea what his brother wanted to talk to Zack about, so did Zack. He followed Itachi outside where he started to talk.
"Zack, I know I can trust you. So while the rest of us go to try find Naruto's sister, Mei and Yoita's brother, Mammon, would you please make sure Lilly is safe for Sasuke and myself please?"
Zack just nodded.
"Thank you."
*************
Mammon had woken up, injured and tied up, in a strange area. He tried adjusting his eyes to his surroundings trying to figure out where he was, but he had no luck. Even as his eyes adjusted to his surroundings he didn't recognize where he was. He looked to the side of him and seen Mei. He gasped a little quietly, as she was even worse than he was. She was bleeding slightly and even looked like maybe her wrist was sprained or something.
"Nggh......" Mei groaned, waking up slightly. It seemed like she was in slight pain.
"M-Mei.... you alright?" He asked her worriedly.
All Mei managed to do was nod.
As Mammon tried to figure out how he would get her and himself free, who came through. Of course. Hanzo. However, this time, he was not alone.
***************
For about a good few weeks, Shiru, Itachi, Sasuke, Yoita, Cecilia, Kuroryu, Naruto and Kenny were still trying to find Mei and Mammon. So far they had had no success in finding them. Zack had been busy protecting Lilly while they were searching and had seen no sign of Hanzo or anyone else who would try to hurt her.
After a while, they decided to have a break from searching, mostly because for Sasuke, his birthday was almost upon them. Itachi had decided to plan something interesting - well rather fun - for his brothers birthday. They were going to have a day to themselves, just him and his younger brother, just like they had in the old days.
As Sasuke's birthday grew nearer and nearer, everyone was doing something special for him. Naruto was being nice and not as annoying as usual to him; Shiru, Kenny and Zack had made him a sword of his own, after having seen what happened when he grabbed a random sword from Naruto's house to go save his sister; Cecilia had made a home-made birthday cake from scratch for him; Kuroryu and Yoita gave him a kunai, that had the Uchiha clan symbol engraved in it and Lilly and Itachi both gave him a charm that would remind him of each of them individually. Lilly's charm was a little fairy and Itachi's was a hand-made charm of the Uchiha clan symbol.
However, Itachi had one other surprise for him, something that he had been keeping from him for a few years now.
"Close your eyes bro."
"Why?"
"I have something special for you... from mom and dad."
Sasuke closed his eyes, tears filling them a little. Itachi smiled and slipped a jacket on his brother. The jacket was a dark blue colour and on the back of it was the Uchiha clan symbol.
"Now everyone will know for sure that you are a Uchiha bro." Itachi chuckled softly.
Sasuke opened his eyes, seeing the new jacket, he hugged his brother tightly, smiling for once in a while. Itachi hugged back and ruffled his brothers hair, smiling.
************
Mammon couldn't believe his eyes when he realised who was helping Hanzo out. He just growled at them both.
"You.... TRAITOR!!" He shouted, tears falling. He couldn't believe how someone like that could have helped someone as evil and mean as Hanzo. From the looks of things, neither could Mei.
