The Uchiha (Itachi Twin Sister// Naruto Fan-fiction)

Chapter 26 [The Past]

"Itsuko." He called out again, this time he called out her name. He instantly knew that he had crossed the line by doing that. But regardless he has gone too far to care.

"Say that again," Itsuko mumbled under my breath, stopping her footsteps.

"Itsuko..." Kakashi's voice softens, shaking slightly.

"How long has it been? Ten years?" Itsuko chuckled, smiling softly, her back still facing him. Her heart skipped a beat, she never thought she would hear him call her by her name again after so long. 

Silence fell. Tsunade and Shizune looked at them confused. They had no clue what was going on at all.

"I'm sorry," Kakashi said, his eye closed and his fist clenched. His face clearly showed that he was holding back tears. "If I wasn't so reckless, you wouldn't be left with the scars and your ANBU mark..."

"Idiot. You should be." Itsuko mumbled. Before anyone could comprehend the situation, she ducked, sliding her feet across the floor. Kakashi jumped to prevent being tripped. Itsuko appeared behind him and kicked him, sending him onto the ground.

"Itsuko!" Tsunade yelled, shooting up from her chair to restrain Itsuko but Shizune stopped her by grabbing onto her arm. Tsunade looked at Shizune confused but glancing ahead, she saw Itsuko reaching out for Kakashi.

Itsuko helped Kakashi up. This wasn't something the Itsuko they knew would have done. They could only stare in confusion but the two paid no attention to them. Almost immediately, Kurama had took over Itsuko, leaving her eyes red and narrowed. This sent Tsunade and Shizune on the ball of their feet. 

"You have nothing to apologize for. You've apologized over and over again. It's more than enough already." Kurama said, turning Itsuko's back at Kakashi, walking off.

"Can I call you by your name again?" Kakashi shot suddenly, causing Kurama to stop Itsuko's steps.

"You're not an ANBU anymore, Kakashi." Itsuko's voice whispered softly. Neither Tsunade nor Shizune has ever heard the ANBU captain spoke in such a gentle tone. Kakashi smiled, teleporting off while Itsuko headed out from the door. Leaving Tsunade and Shizune very confused.

"What do you think just happened?" Tsunade asked Shizune, leaning back onto her seat as she turned her chair to look at the village.

"I don't know. Perhaps something to do with their past?" Shizune suggested, holding onto the pig. The pig nodded in agreement, snorting.

Tsunade got up from her chair, grabbing her Hokage hat, and headed out from her office. Her steps echoed along the hallway. After a while of walking, she arrived in front of a door many times bigger than she herself. She placed the hat on the chair beside the door before typing in the code. The big door slowly opened, revealing a much bigger room inside. The room had at least three levels, each level containing files of information. Tsunade had only been in the room once. That was when she was introduced to the building. She never visited the room just for information on people. This was the first time. She needed to know more.

The files were arranged in alphabetical order. Climbing onto the ladder, Tsundae slid along the wall, looking for the Uchihas. Finally finding it, she proceeded to look for Itsuko. But to her surprise, it was nowhere to be found. 

"Impossible," Tsunade exclaimed, her eyes scanning every file again. There was no way that even these chambers contain no information on her. Sighing, she caught a glimpse of the file of Itachi Uchiha, who was known to have massacred the almost entire Uchiha clan alone. For a long time, Tsunade had thought that Sasuke Uchiha was the last Uchiha, not knowing the existence of such a powerful being like Itsuko.
