“Oi Old Man, is this all you can do?”

‘I need some more. These are good massage techniques.’ Akihiko thought in his mind.

“Junior, this senior will use a proper attack. Be prepared.”

“Sure!”

Akihiko just replied as he thought, ‘When did he become a CN novel senior.’

Hiashi dashed towards Akihiko and decided to hit 64 of Akihiko’s acupuncture points.

As Hiashi swiftly moved his palms to hit Akihiko 64 times, Akihiko moved his body slightly as he adjusted the place where the palms were about to hit.

“Big Sis, why didn’t he move?” Hanabi asked as the speed was too fast for her.

“He just wanted a massage.” Hinata said with a smile as she shook her head.

“Massage?” Hanabi just tilted her head as she was confused. She just decided to continue and watch the spar.

“Ah. That’s a good massage. Thank you, Hiashi-san. I’m sorry for this blackeye.” Akihiko just said as Hiashi was alerted.

Before he could even dodge, a fist met his right eye. He flew backwards and hit the wall. Just as he thought that he would stop, his body broke the wall and continued flying outside. He only stopped when his body fell into a bush.

“Shit! What kind of lover did Hinata find?” Hiashi muttered before he smiled.

“At least, he can always protect her with this strength. Isn’t that right, my dear wife?” Hiashi said that as he looked at the sky.

“I’m not your wife but that’s definitely true.” Akihiko said as Hiashi’s body tensed up.

“When did you arrive here?” Hiashi turned around and looked at Akihiko with his byakugan still active. It looked really funny as his right eye was swollen.

He saw a layer of chakra covering Akihiko’s face and decided to look through it. He saw Akihiko’s real face as he was stunned.

“Oh, just now. Father-in-law. Now, let’s go back. Hinata’s waiting.”

Even though he heard the word “father-in-law”, Hiashi didn’t do anything as he was still stunned by Akihiko’s appearance.

“Hm? What are you doing, father-in-law?”

“What do you think I’m doing? Help me back inside the house.” Hiashi replied as he finally got out of his stupor. Akihiko just chuckled as he helped Hiashi inside the house.

‘He’s really attractive. No homo. No wonder my daughter likes him. He’s stronger than me and is also a handsome individual. I approve of his relationship with my daughter’ Hiashi thought as he nodded.

In the future, he will have the same thought process again for his other daughter.

They arrived in the house one second later as Akihiko just dashed over here. Hiashi’s hair was all over the place. Hinata and Hanabi laughed seeing Hiashi’s appearance.

“Well, father-in-law, I’ll get going now.” Akihiko said as he nodded his head once and turned towards Hinata and Hanabi.

“So, you’re Hinata’s little sister, huh? You’ll soon be my sister-in-law.” Akihiko said as he patted her head.

Hanabi just nodded as she had her head down. Her face, neck and ears were all red. Hiashi just sighed as he saw this.

“Akihiko, let’s go now.” Hinata said as she grabbed Akihiko’s arm with a smirk. She and Akihiko left the house as they saw Ino waiting outside the house.

“Ino, did you wait for too long?”

“Nope. Are we going back to the Uchiha home?” Ino asked as she stood up and grabbed Akihiko’s remaining arm.

“Yep.”

“Jugo, are you sure this place is where Itachi is hiding?” Sasuke asked as he looked at the building from afar.

“Yes. The animals told me that they saw him entering the building a few hours ago.”

“Alright.” Sasuke said as he took a deep breath and just exhaled it. He walked forward as Jugo and Karin followed him.

Sasuke stopped as he turned around, “Huh? Why are you following me?”

“We’re going to fight Itachi, aren’t we?”

“Wait, I’ll just go alone. The two of you, stay here.” Sasuke said as he turned around.

Karin was about to retort when Sasuke continued, “Karin, I know you want to follow me but just wait here for me. I’ll end it on my own.”

‘After all, if you followed me, you might get hurt.’

Karin just sat down as she stared at Sasuke’s back with a pout. She understood that Sasuke must have a reason but she still wanted to be of help to him. Not just sit here and wait all the time.

Meanwhile, Jugo was darting his eyes back and forth between Sasuke and Karin as he thought, ‘I’m like a third wheel. Wait, I’m a third wheel. Yeah, what a sad life.’

After thinking that, Jugo just sat on a rock, staring at the sky.

Sasuke, together with his trusty katana hanging at his waist and his sharingan activated, walked menacingly towards the building.

[a/n: Be warned. Things will be very confusing. Everything is genjutsu after genjutsu. Even I got confused while writing this.]

As soon as he entered the building, he arrived in a large hall with someone sitting on a large chair made of rock.

Sasuke already knew who it was, just from the silhouette.

“Itachi Uchiha!” Sasuke said hatefully as Itachi just looked at him.

“Sasuke, with your sharingan.. how far can you see?”

“Save the useless talk.” Sasuke just said that as he appeared behind Itachi. He slashed his katana swiftly but Itachi just blocked it with a kunai.

Itachi turned around and kicked Sasuke but Sasuke just dodged it as he slashed his katana another time. Itachi dodged it but Sasuke just predicted the place where Itachi would dodge and pierced Itachi’s stomach.

“You’ve grown strong, Sasuke.” Itachi just raised his arm as he pointed with his two hands towards the seat.

Itachi’s corpse just turned into crows as Sasuke just smirked.

“You may have outsmarted me but I have outsmarted your outsmarting.” Sasuke just said that as his current body also broke down.

A Chidori just pierced Itachi who was sitting on the chair as Sasuke was ready for another attack. He knew Itachi wouldn’t just die like this. This was just another genjutsu.

He turned around as he shot a Chidori Sharp Spear towards Itachi. Itachi just tilted his head as the Chidori Sharp Spear pierced the wall behind him.

“Itachi, why don’t we end this charade? I will be the victor in the end.” Sasuke said confidently as Itachi just replied.

“I see that you’re confident but it will all turn out into an illusion. After all, you don’t have the Mangekyou sharingan.

Sasuke didn’t reply and just smirked. He threw several small shurikens towards Itachi as Itachi deflected them all. He dashed forward with his katana but stopped as Itachi used Tsukuyomi. He felt his body getting fragmented into small square pieces but managed to easily break through it.

Itachi was surprised but his vision was already blurring from the side-effects of using a Mangekyou ability.

Sasuke took out two large shurikens as he spun them around extremely fast. He threw them towards Itachi and just made space in between for him to dodge.

Just as Itachi jumped in the empty space between the shurikens, Sasuke already finished the hand signs for Fire Release: Great Fire Ball Jutsu. A large fireball approached Itachi as Itachi just jumped upwards.

Sasuke predicted that as he used Fire Release: Fire Dragon Jutsu as dragon-headed flames shot out towards the sky, heading for Itachi.

Itachi managed to narrowly escape with small burns as the remaining dragons just vanished in the sky. Itachi jumped out of the hole made by the dragons as he stared at Sasuke from above.

“Itachi, you… already lost.”

Sasuke then just pulled his right hand down as lightning streaks started forming in the sky.

“Lightning Release: Dragon’s Descent”

A large dragon-shaped figure made of lightning came down and hit Itachi at an extremely high speed.

The smoke cleared as the building and nearby landform got destroyed. Itachi who was face flat on the ground got up as his right hand had severe burns. Blood was dripping down his mouth as he smiled.

“Sasuke, you’ve really gotten strong.”

“I know that. You’ve already said it for the second time.” Sasuke said as he walked towards Itachi.

“Sasuke, this time, I shall show you my trump cards. Amaterasu!”

His right eye bled as the veins in his eyes were showing.

Black flames started appearing on Sasuke’s body as Sasuke’s eyes spun.

“Kagutsuchi” Sasuke just muttered that as the Amaterasu flames were extinguished.

‘Mangekyou Sharingan?’ Itachi was shocked this time.

“Is that all you have to show, Itachi? I guess I overestimated you.” Sasuke said as Itachi just smiled.

“Susanoo.”

A red aura appeared around Itachi as it slowly transformed into a skeleton, a humanoid and then became an armored shell.

A shield appeared on the left and a flaming sword appeared on his right.

“Susanoo” Sasuke said as he also created a humanoid Susanoo.

He already reached the Humanoid Stage even though he started not too long ago. It was because he was the reincarnation of Indra.

[a/n: *sips* That’s bullshit. Or not.]

A bow appeared on his left arm as he drew it. He stretched out his left arm as he created an arrow made of Amaterasu.

He launched it towards Itachi who blocked it with the Yata mirror but felt his body falling.

‘Huh? I guess my body can’t handle it anymore huh? My disease is incurable.’

He then fell face flat onto the ground as he couldn’t move his body. Sasuke, who thought that Itachi couldn’t block his strike, walked towards Itachi in his Susanoo form.

He then stopped in front of Itachi as he sat on his heels.

“Itachi… the Uchihas were your family. But why did you turn your back on family?”

Itachi just smiled as he looked at Sasuke’s eyes.

“I’ll show you the truth behind the events.”

Sasuke saw all the events on why Itachi made the decision of killing the Uchiha clan.

“I see but this doesn’t change the fact that you were the one who massacred the clan.”

Itachi was smiling as he was ready for his death. He had two regrets which was not being able to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sasuke and the other was not being able to meet his mother another time. He knew that Mikoto was out of the clan that night. He raised his right arm to try and tap Sasuke’s forehead, only for Sasuke to hit his head with the handle of the katana.

Sasuke dragged Itachi’s body and went back to his team.

“Sasuke! Do you need any healing?” Karin immediately ran towards him and asked as she extended her right arm towards him.

“No. We’ll be returning to Konoha immediately.”

“But Sasuke, weren’t you going to kill your brother? Why are you bringing him with us?”

Sasuke just replied, “I still have something to do with him.”

“Ok. I won’t question your decision. Jugo, let’s go!”

Jugo didn’t say anything and just nodded.

A certain half-black-half-white Zetsu was staring at the scene as he smiled.

—–

“Wahahahaha! I’m here! I’ll eat all the cookies!” The white-haired women laughed out loud as the guards in front of Konoha were alerted.

“Stop! Who are you?!”

“Oh shet!”

She ran away and circled the wall. When she was quite far away from the guards, she jumped over the wall and rubbed her nose.

“Wahahahaha, I’m amazing. Now, let’s sense the contract!”

She closed her eyes and tried to sense someone who had the snake contract in this village.

“Oh, I can see it now.”

She quickly ran towards the Uchiha Household and just knocked on the door.

*Knock* *Knock*

“Mama, there’s someone outside!”

“Yes, Hina.” Kushina answered as she went to the door and opened it.

“Yes, is there anything you need?”

The white-haired woman nodded, “I want to find Akihiko and eat cookies!”

‘Kushina, she’s the old snake hag! Be careful!’ Kurumi answered from within as Kushina replied.

‘You can easily beat her right? There shouldn’t be any problems letting her in.’

‘Hmph, of course. The Great Kurumi is extremely stronk!’

‘Yeah, yeah.’

“Do you want to enter the house?”

“Yep!”

Kushina and the white-haired woman entered the home as the kids were spying on them from the inside.

—–

Akihiko was stopped by Sakura who was breathing heavily.

Hinata and Ino had one thought in their mind, ‘Heheh, our plan works. She’s trapped.’

They both quietly walked backward as they whispered to each other with smug smiles.

“Ino, Sakura’s going to confess, right?”

“Yep, that’s the most likely scenario.”

“Let’s enjoy the show. I got some cookies.”

“Thanks.”

They both looked at the scene with smug smiles as Akihiko asked Sakura.

“What do you need, Sakura?”

“W-well, I have something to tell you.”

“Yeah?”

“I know you’re already going out with Ino and Hinata but I-I really lik- umph!”

She bit her tongue as her face went red.

Hinata and Ino were holding their laughter as this scene was funny.

Sakura shook her head as she tried again.

“I really like you, Akihiko!”

What will Akihiko reply? Find out next week.
