Hidden Uchiha (Itachi's daughter// Naruto Fan-fiction)

Chapter 36 [Emotions]

Ikeri POV
I entered a narrow alley. It was dark, not even a single sight of light was anywhere to be found beside the ones from far ahead. Far on ahead is where the real deal was.

On the streets, there were stalls made of just cloth supported by wood. Some where just people sitting on a piece of cloth at the side of the streets. Better ones opened shops. There were countless shinobis walking everywhere.

It was like a market there, but it wasn't any normal market. It was the black market. Kakashi assigned me to walk around this filty place once in awhile to see of there are any threats building up from there. Ever since then, my head's been wanted at a very high price since I was never once caught despite myself manging to capture a few who were actually planning threats against the peace.

I always went there in diffrent looks so they never actually knew what my real face looked like. I would always wear a hood too, so if I'm lucky, they won't even need to have a look at my disguise.

Walking through the place, I activated my hearing device. It helps me eavesdrop on conversations better. I entered a bar, ordering a cup of juice like I always do.

I sat at the table, in front of the waitress, who was cleaning a cup.

Behind me were all drunk criminals, criminals having a chat, criminals getting missions, clients and many more. I heard nothing but nonsense and useless stuff. I was about to leave to another place, having my juice already finishing.

"Have you heard? Boss asked him to fake Fushin. They say boss is working with Chino, she wants the Uchiha dead."

I heard all of a sudden while I was finishing the last of my juice. Chino...? That name sounds familiar. Wasn't that the little girl that was being annoying? Oh... She's pretty good. Pretending to be an ally. That mean the fat guy who was with her... Fushin?

I dropped a few coins on the table before leaving.

'It was already hours since I left Sasuke. He should be fine, he knows how to handle himself.' I thought to myself, activating my mangekyou, teleporting my self to where he was. His location was odd, there were very little chakra around that area. It's just suspicious.

I arrived, landing on ground but surrounding me was pools of blood. It was dark, there was only so little moon light coming from the only exit and entrance, allowing the pools of blood to shine blood red.

Looking up ahead, I saw Sasuke and the girl from earlier, Chino. I stood at the side, listening to their conversation. Chino admitted that she was planning to get Sasuke and I to go to the Valley of Hell, which I assume this place. She originally intended to use the exploding humans to attack and Konoha in vengeance against the Uchiha for driving her clan to the Valley of Hell, but ended up meeting ue in the Bamboo Village. Then Chino explained the Chinoike clan's jutsu uses blood, and that with the high iron content of the lake in the Valley of Hell, she'll be even more powerful. She uses her blood and the lake to create a multi-headed blood dragon attacking Sasuke.

With my mangekyou activated, I teleported in front. The blood dragon spilt into two, one going at me and one at Sasuke. I got my manipulated selves to get rid of it while Sasuke used his electrified sword to cut off it's head.

But all of a sudden, blood rises from behind Sasuke. It formed a kunai, flying towards him. Little idd I expect that was a distraction. It worked and I was injured by a kunai from behind. Sasuke on the other hand was injured from the kunai behind him. He fell for the same trick as I did.

Chino looked at us, a big grin on her face. She activated her eyes, which consisted of two circles. The outer was blood red and the inner was black with a purple line cutting through the middle. She showed us ourselves turning into exploding humans.
