Scroll 3: The Third Uchiha [Naruto]

Chapter 89: The Uchiha Prodigy [Shippuden]

**Authors Note: 

So there are about 10+ filler episodes in the series before we begin the Hokage summit arc. So I think I'm going to do one and a half to two filler-ish chapters so this one and the next one before we start the new arc. 

The new arc will begin/take off in the last 5-10 chapters in this book (CH 90-95 or to 100) and then bridge into the fourth installment. This means we are super close to Scroll 4! :)

The memories burned. That's the only way I could explain. It felt like I was being prodded with a hot iron as each one seared into my brain. It started young, very young. From the time I was kidnapped by the Akatsuki to when I first unleashed on Zabuza and Haku. To each time I came face-to-face with another host. I could see Hidan when we fought the two-tails, I could see Madara when he sent me to kill my comrades for the three tails and I could even feel the pulse of Orochimaru's henchmen when I tore out his heart.

"This was all you" I spoke out. I had my knees pressed to my chest and forehead resting on my knees. My head was throbbing.

"It was us" He replied and all I wanted was for Itachi to return, but I doubted I would see him anytime soon.

"No" I replied defiantly. I felt him brush my back but I didn't lookup. It didn't make a difference. You could really only make out his outline, his form hidden in the shadows but you could sense him as he moved.

"You could never hold control for long, my will was always stronger" I said firmly and he chuckled.

"True" He replied gently.

"You're as stubborn as they come." He mused.

"What deal do you have with Madara?" I demanded and he was silent. I felt him touch the back of my head and flinched as he interrupted the memory with another.

"You should know" He replied and I focused on it as Madara came to light. His words were quiet, soft but slowly escalated to a regular tone. My voice, as expected wasn't my own when I replied.

"For your body" I realized.

"Yes" He confirmed.

"If Madara could keep you under control, and keep me dormant I promised him that he could host my full power" He explained.

"I wouldn't have let you" I argued and he chuckled again.

"Well, neither Madara nor I expected you to be capable of drawing on my power. There was only so long after the three-tails incident that I could continue hiding" He replied.

"So what? Now you'll settle on this life?" I asked and he was silent a moment as she mulled it over.

"No, Madara still has my body. One way or another I will be reunited with it" I scoffed.

"Hn, don't bet on it, you even admitted that my will is greater than yours" I reminded.

"Yes, and you do have the Copy-Ninja and Itachi to aid against me. Perhaps Pein was correct in it being a mistake to make myself known"
