Present Time
Itsuki (POV)
I lay on my hands and knees as Akari stands over me. Her piercing blue gaze never leaving me.
Akari- Stay down if you know what's good for you. I don't want to hurt you anymore. It's breaking my heart seeing you like this so just stay down. Please.
Itsuki *mind*- You seriously have to fucking kidding me. All these years of training. All these years of honing my jutsu and learning new ones. All these years of trying to get stronger and yet, here I am on my hands and knees right after I get wrecked by the very same person I sought to save. I barely get any offense in. It was literally a one sided beatdown even with my Sharingan out. Why? Why? Why can't I beat her. I feel so weak. I worked so hard just to get this result? How many times do I have to keep getting knocked down? How many times will this world continue to screw me over?........................I'm done. I am so sick and tired of feeling this way. If this world wants to continuously screw me over, then I only have one option. That is to keep getting back up and keep getting stronger to defy this cruel twist of fate. And it starts now. It starts with her. I want to win. I have to win! I must win!! SHE MUST NOT LEAVE ME ALONE AGAIN!!!!!!!
Storm chakra bursts from my being as make by way up to my feet. My gaze slowly meets hers as my Mangekyō Sharingan comes forth. Despite the fighting that's happening between Gin, Diablo, Sasuke and the others, we both seem to faze that out as our eyes never leave one another.
Akari- (sigh) You're so stubborn. Wind Style: Reaching Talons.
An upsurge of violent winds forms around both her hands. The wind changed shape and condenses in the form of talons. I follow suit as lightning engulfs my fists. She makes the first move as she charges at me. I don't move. She rears her left fist back for a punch and lets loose as she gets right in front of me. I sidestep her strike and grab ahold of her arm. With her forward momentum plus my added force, she gets slammed to the ground and I immediately stomp on her arm causing a snapping sound. Agony appears on her face but she refuses to yell out in pain. Instead, she regurgitates herself and her arm isn't broken anymore. I rush at her this time and I throw a Superman punch but she bends backwards on all fours. Before I have a chance to counter, she's on my back and trying to choke me out.
Itsuki- Get off!!
Akari- Go to sleep! It'll make this easier for the both of us!
The light starts to get dim and fall forward on my hands and knees. I start thinking desperately for a way to escape till I find a rock. I pick it up and bash it against the side of Akari's skull. She falls off to the side and grabs her head in pain as I take deep breaths. Once I caught my breath, I slowly get to my feet. I grab Akari by her hair and pull her up to my level. Once I have her on her feet, I deliver three clean forearm shots to her face. She retaliates by a slap across my face followed by a kick to my stomach, and a right uppercut to my jaw. This leaves me a bit staggered but I quickly recover and punch her right in her throat. She immediately grasps at her throat leaving her open. I grab her head a drive it into the point of my right knee. She grabs at her face and I spin and hit a backfist. She turns around and grab her by her waist. I secure her right wrist and push her forwards. This causes her to spin back towards me and I yank her into a bicycle knee strike.

Before she could fall, I jump onto her legs first. She catches me but I maneuver my way to sitting on her shoulders facing the back of her neck. I then drive myself back which causes her to fall back as well and I drill the top of her head into the ground.

After around a couple minutes she makes to her knees and looks up at me. Her face and body as all types of cuts and bruises like I do and blood is trickling down her forehead from a nasty gash on her hairline.
Akari- Alright. Okay. I'll give you this round. I'm still not going back to that place.
Itsuki- Then I'll just have to break you and drag you back.
Akari- Break me you say? It what way are we talking about hmmm? All you had to do was ask. Come on and break me Itsuki.
My cheeks get all hot from her sultry talk and look away from her for a brief second.
Akari- Wind Style: Euthanasia!!
Itsuki- Wha-
I don't get to finish as gale force winds unleash from her body and sweep up off my feet. The high pressured winds fling me around in the air until it forces me to crash in the side of this crater
Akari (POV)
Akari *mind*- Itsuki just crashed into the side of this crater. As long as I can keep this concentration, the wind will keep going until it takes all the air from him and he passes out.
The dust around where he crashed settles and I see something I've never seen before. Itsuki is there but around him is a black aura rib cage. He got up with ease and started making his way towards me.
Akari- Impossible!
I increased the wind speed but he kept coming. I lost focus and the wind stopped.
Akari *mind*- Maybe this'll stop him in his tracks.
Akari- Water Style Wind Style Fusion: Breath of the Frozen North Technique!!
My cheeks begin to well up with wind and water chakra. The combined chakra at the ready, I release my breath and the combined chakra.

He continues to come but his steps get slower and ice starts to build on him until he's frozen completely solid again.
Akari- Yes!
That lasted for about two seconds or so because Itsuki busted out of his frozen state without so much as lifting a finger.
Akari *mind*- Ok, I think that's enough for today. I'm getting low on chakra and I can always get him another time. For now it is wise that we retreat to one of our bases.
Akari- Sasuke! Diablo! We're leaving!
Sasuke- Hmph.
Diablo- Yes ma'am!
Diablo disengages with Itsuki's master and comes by to pick me up. He pick Sasuke up as well and Diablo takes us to the crater edge.
Itsuki (POV)
We all regroup with Naruto and his squad and look up at our opponents. My aura rib cage fades but my Mangekyō Sharingan stays.
Naruto- Why can't either of you understand?! He'll take your body Sasuke! Hell, he might even take you too Akari! It's Orochimaru!
Sasuke-.......If it happens, it happens. So be it.
Akari looks at Sasuke with a look mixed confusion and disgust.
Akari- He can take you all he wants but he won't the chance with me. That's what you want. Not me.
Sasuke- Whatever. As for you Naruto, you Itsuki and the rest of you fools are still just mere children. I don't care what happens to me or anyone else in this world. So long as I can get my revenge, nothing else matters. To be honest, neither Orochimaru nor I are strong enough to beat Itachi on our alone. But if I obtain the power to defeat Itachi by giving myself to Orochimaru, I'll give him my life a thousand times over. Itsuki, you may have achieved Mangekyō Sharingan before me but that doesn't change a thing. I'm still going to be the one to kill Itachi so stay out of my way or you're next got it?
Itsuki- Is that so? I've squared off against Akari but haven't really had the chance to scrap with you. Why don't you come down here and show me you mean business. Or are you too afraid to realize that I have surpassed you and that I'm on road to taking out Itachi before you can ever get close to him.
Sasuke-.........
Itsuki- That's what I thought. Don't cross me or you'll get put on your ass too bitch.
Indigo: That's the end of this one. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Later indigo fam. Peace.
