Chapter 43 - Chapter 45

Dragon was standing on the village police force building. He knew Obito would target this place first so he was waiting for the spiral boy to show himself here. Ryu had been ordered to handle Itachi..

In front of the building a spiral teleportation appeared in mid-air. When the spiral finally stopped a man dressed in black traditional ninja attire stood there with an orange mask on his face. He watched the building and when he was about to move he felt danger from behind him.

"Nice reflexes." A hand passed through the man from the back and Dragon smiled as he returned his hand to his side.

"Are you seeking death?" The man turned around.

"No, i was looking for someone to carry my bags during my next adventure and i think you fit that role." Dragon put on a condescending smile for the masked man to enjoy.

"Don't provoke me or else you will soon find yourself 7 feet underground. You can't even touch me." He said while glaring at Dragon with his Sharingan blazing in a bright red color.

Dragon lost his smile, and after a few seconds of staring he walked up to the man in the mask and looked him right in the eye. They stood only 1 meter apart and no one made their move.

"And who are you to threaten me?" Dragon said with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"I am Madara Uchiha. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you stand a chance in this fight." He said to Dragon, clearly not believing anything could touch him.

"Last time i checked, Madara died a long time ago. How do you explain that?" Dragon said with no emotion on his face, just like the man he was facing.

"I don't have to explain myself to you. Now would you please die." A hand came and gripped Dragon around his throat and tried to move him. The word was tried. Dragon's body didn't move no matter how much he tried and no matter the strength he put into it.

"Having performance issues, Obito?" Dragon said and gave the man a smirk.

"How did you??! Who are you?" Obito said and gripped Dragon's throat tighter.

"Please die for me." He used kunai and stabbed Dragon in the stomach.

"The game is over." As the kunai arrived it passed right through Dragon, almost like he didn't have a physical form anymore. Almost like he was ethereal.

"What happened to you, boy. Just because Rin died you decided that you should play god together with Madara?" Dragon stood there with a kunai through his stomach but his form was not physical so the kunai awkwardly floated inside his body.

"DON'T TALK ABOUT HER!"

"YOU KNOW NOTHING!" Obito started to slash at Dragon but it all just passed right through him like he wasn't there.

"I know everything!" Dragon punched Obito in the face and he crashed into the ground a few meters away.

"Do you think this is what Rin would have wanted for you? There is still a chance to come back, Obito." Dragon stood still and watched as the man struggled to get up.

"RIN IS DEAD!" Obito screamed while running towards Dragon with rage-filled eyes. Rin appeared to be a sensitive subject for him.

"Okay, you know what. No more of this shit. I have enough of this delusional version of you. There are too many Madara's running around and i just want my peace and quiet." Dragon used Soru and disappeared in a burst of speed.

he appeared in front of Obito and grabbed a hold of his collar, to which Obito freaked out.

"WHY CAN YOU TOUCH ME?! WHY IS MY SHARINGAN NOT WORKING!" Obito screamed in his face while struggling to get free.

"Obito, i am the owner of something called absolute potential. It allows me to master any power and ability i come across. i have no limit on anything. I have created and mastered countless of abilities. You can't even comprehend how many abilities i possess." Dragon said and prepared to hit Obito.

"I am using something that i developed myself. It's called [dimensional touch]. I created it to counter people like you. It's name should tell you what it does. It basically means that your Sharingan is useless against me. Dimensions doesn't even exists in my eyes." Dragon punched Obito so hard that the spiral mask broke apart and Obito lost two of his front teeth.

"oh, that's ugly," Dragon said and snapped his finger. Obito's teeth quickly grew back and he was back to looking normal again.

"As you are now, you're useless. A simple shell of your former self. You could be someone truly powerful. But your stuck in this fantasy that will never happen. MOVE ON!" Dragon slapped Obito across the face and blood sprayed on the ground.

"Move on! Rin is dead!" Another slap and more blood stained the ground.

"She died!! She's dead! YOU KILLED HER!! No one will have to die again when I'm done!" Obito said with a bloody face.

"You think she died because of you? Because of Kakashi? Because of the world? Don't be naive, YOU FOOL!" Another slap and Obito's whole face was bloody and you couldn't recognize him at all.

"She loved you, you stupid boy. She loved you and this is how you choose to honor her memory? By attacking and killing the people she died to protect. SHE LOVED YOU, OBITO!" Two more slaps and Obito was starting to lose consciousness.

"S-She l-love..." Obito mumbled, too beaten up to speak normally.

"ye, she loved you. She loved the person you were, so why the hell did you go and become this piece of garbage, HUH?" Another slap and an ocean worth of blood covered the ground and Obito finally lost consciousness.

"Falling asleep when I'm talking, are we?! WAKE UP!" Another slap ten times stronger then the last and Obito was jolted awake, and only because it felt like his head was about to fall off his head.

"So? Are you gonna continue on this stupid ass path Madara put you on? I don't need food or sleep so believe me that we will continue until either of us dies! What do you say?!" Dragon slapped Obito again and more blood covered the ground that had officially changed color to dark red.

"SPEAK UP, BOY!"

"R-Rin.. Fo-F..Forg.." Obito's head swayed back and forth and it looked like he was about to die any second.

"I am on the understanding grandpa mode. Don't force me to go full-on mean grandpa mode. I won't guarantee your survival then, SPEAK UP, SON!"

"I-I LOVED HER!!!" Obito finally roared and blood from his mouth splashed all over Dragon's upper body and face.

"Now that's more like it. Say it again. Say it as you mean it." Dragon held up his hand in a threatening manner.

"I LOVED HER! I LOVE HER! I MISS HER, I CAN'T TAKE IT.. LIVING WITHOUT HER! I CAN'T TAKE IT!" Obito roared, letting everything out and then he immediately fell unconscious afterwards. He was just minutes away from dying, completely beaten up and exhausted.

"That wasn't so hard, was it." Dragon put a finger on Obito's forehead and his body started to heal. Dragon watched Obito's tear-stained face with pity and sorrow.

"Mission successful." Dragon threw Obito over his shoulder and started walking back. Right as he started to walk away there was some very terrified Uchiha clan members that finally peaked outside after they had witnessed this horror show.

They had never seen this level of brutality and that old man was definitely someone that would haunt their dreams after this day.

-------------------------------------

At the gate of the Uchiha compound, Ryu sat and waited for his guest to arrive. It didn't take long for his haki to pick up the movements of someone slowly walking towards him.

"You are hesitating, Itachi Uchiha." Ryo who sat there in his black Kung Fu attire spoke to the teenager that soon arrived in front of him.

"Who are you? And where are the guards?" Itachi looked around casually but his guard was on full alert against this stranger.

"There is a change in plans. There will be no massacre tonight. The Hokage knows of this and he trusted my master and myself to stop this from happening." Ryu watched as Itachi's facial expression went from neutral to shocked very quickly.

"What's going on? Why haven't I heard anything about this?"

"We only let you continue because we wanted to capture your accomplice." Itachi's facial expression had a change but it was barely noticed.

"I am working alone. I have no accomplice." Itachi said with no emotions now that he calmed down from the initial reveal.

"Of course you do. He actually managed to fool so many people that hes Madara Uchiha. Madara is dead. The person you are working with is Kakashi Hatake's old comrade. Obito Uchiha. Anything else you want to know?" Ryu said and just sat there watching Itachi's expression go from neutral to shocked and then anger and finally back to neutral again.

"So, what happens now? What about Danzo?" Itachi relaxed a little bit.

"The Hokage personally sentenced him to a very slow death at the hands of one of my own comrades. My master is the one that captured him. My master is essentially the true leader of the village at this point. The Hokage listens to him. So now that you know that. How about you sit down here with me and wait for my master's arrival." Ryu beckoned Itachi to sit down next to him.

"hm, I would very much like to meet this master of yours." Itachi put away his weapon and sat down.

"So, is Danzo really dealt with? He hasn't survived this long only with his brain. He is very strong." Itachi knew how powerful Danzo was.

"Why don't you ask someone that knows the answer to that question." Ryu opened up a portal in front of them and a foot slowly revealed itself. Soon after a teenager that looked oddly similar to Itachi stepped out and was fully revealed in front of them.

"S....H-How!?? S..Sh.." Itachi stared at the person that walked out of the portal and tears fell down from his eyes as memories flashed by.

"Hi there, Itachi. Long-time no see, ye?" Itachi was full-on crying his eyes out. He suddenly stood up and rushed forward and hugged this long lost friend.

"Shisui!!" Itachi said as he wrapped his arms around Shisui and cried into his chest while Shisui himself just stood there for a while and smiled awkwardly.

"I'm back!" Shisui said and wrapped his arms around Itachi as they both cried tears of happiness.
