Chapter 1: Itachi's Secret Weapon!
Sasuke was watching the rain fall above him. He knew his brother was there waiting for him. Just atop the cliff, there Itachi Uchiha stood, only dashes away from his utter death. Sasuke gripped his katana and opened his eyes revealing the sharingan. He sped up as he raced to achieve his goal. His team shortly followed.
Naruto gritted his teeth as he raced ahead of his team. His team consisted of Sakura, Kakashi, Sai, and Yamato. Naruto hissed as he bared fangs and his eyes turned red. They found Itachi who stood waiting on top of the cliff they were nearing. Sakura stared at Naruto who was far ahead, but not out of view. She looked up at the cliff and then at the sky. Her silent tears blended in with the rain falling on her face.
Itachi looked at the two parties arriving. On one side were Naruto and his team. On the other were Sasuke and his team. They all looked ready to kill him. Itachi smirked, "So, you think you can kill me? I think you might have if it wasn't for my little encounter about a year ago." Sasuke growled, "Doesn't matter what it is, I'll kill you. Today." Suddenly a really annoying voice came from nowhere shouting, "SASUKE-KUN!!!" Sasuke flinched at that sound and turned to Sakura. In fact, everyone did. Sakura shook her head, "That wasn't me!"
Itachi laughed, "I'm right here sweetheart." Naruto turned in disgust, "Who could ever like you?" A cloaked figure came next to him and laughed at Naruto, "I don't. To be truthful, I hate the man. But what can you do right?" Itachi glared at the figure, "Don't forget our deal, darling…" The figure loosened up and put hands up in defense, "Hai, Hai. You don't have to be so bossy Sasuke-kun." Sasuke hissed, "Wait, but I'm Sa-" Itachi interrupted, "Itachi Uchiha. My big brother. You will pay today for killing my clan! Yondaime-san wasn't in time to stop you, but today you will pay for your sins."
The teams looked disgusted at the pair. Sasuke stepped up and growled, "How dare you!" The figure zoomed and kicked Sasuke in the stomach, "You monster! How can you kill your own family? When I get back home, you'll have a horrible punishment. Father will make sure of it." Itachi smirked as he took off his Akatsuki robe. His headband was no where to be found on him. The figure flashed back next to Itachi's side.
Itachi spoke to the figure, "Sweetie, that man has to die here. Bring me the blonde one and kill the rest." The figure shouted back, "Hey bastard! I'm no killer! Those people have Konoha headbands! What are you blind?" Itachi slapped the figure's face, "Listen to me bitch. If you want to see your father and brother again, you WILL listen to me. And if you still love your mother, you WILL fulfill her death wish!"
Naruto growled, "What is going on?!" The figure's hood fell of. The face was of an angel. She had long blonde hair. Her skin was sun-kissed. But the minute she opened her eyes, Sakura gasped, "Naruto!?" The girl got up and spit out blood. She laughed, "I'm not Naruto. The name is Hikari U-" Itachi clamped her mouth with his hand, "Let's not keep you in danger." Hikari smacked his hand away, "I can do whatever the fuck I want! We're not married so don't think you can touch me. Remember, I will always hate you, Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke growled, "What is going on? Who is this whore?"
The girl hissed back, "Hey asshole! You have no right to call anyone names! I'm nobody's bitch! But I am pissed because my parents are completely clueless when they think using their kids for politics is a good idea! Now on my honor, I'm stuck with your fucking brother, Sasuke!" Itachi shrugged, "I don't care. You're mine."
Naruto yelled, "Who are you!? Why do you look like my sexy no jutsu?" Hikari turned, "What?" Naruto made his sexy no jutsu and Hikari screeched, "You asshole!" All the guys looked from the jutsu to the red faced girl. Sakura and Karin looked at the pair and freaked, "Yikes! You are alike!" Hikari's face flushed as she flashed over and punched the fake in the face. Itachi laughed. Hikari turned and growled, "That's the most you'll ever see." Naruto rubbed his face, "You look like me." Hikari stuck her tongue out, "Nah. You have those whisker marks so there is no way you're my brother."
Kakashi blinked at the whole scene, "Who are you? You know my sensei's signature jutsu but your speed in general is so fast, I don't think you need kunai." The girl winked, "Correct, I don't. The good thing about being bethrone to an Uchiha is that you can train and get better." Sasuke flinched, "You're bethrone to Sasuke Uchiha?" Everyone turned to the girl who sighed, "I know. What a pain. He's not even cute! He's so mean too! He looks ready to murder everyone! And his friends are way nicer. Kisame-kun, his best friend, looks terrified of him!" Itachi growled, "You're pissing me off." Hikari made fake tears, "Oh no! I pissed of the great Sasuke Uchiha! What now? He'll kill his fiancé? Yeah right! Face it, I'm way too fast!"
Kakashi hissed at the girl, "Why are you so fast? Only blood members of the yondaime's family can get such speed and he died an orphan along with his pregnant wife!" Hikari gripped her fist and flashed over to hit Kakashi, "Shut up! How dare you say my father is dead!" Kakashi looked like a deer caught in head lights, "Your father?!" Itachi put his hand on Hikari's shoulder which was slapped away. Hikari looked with hate to everyone, "You were right, Sasuke. These are fake leaf nin. The yondaime is the leaf's current hokage for heaven's sake! So did they gang up with your brother to try to kill us? All of you. Go away now or I won't have to kill you. In Konoha's name, I will serve justice."
Naruto got up and shouted, "What are you talking about? The yondaime is dead! He fucking died on the day I was born!" Hikari growled, "Imposter. How dare say my father is dead! I lost my mother and I won't lose my father!" She flashed over and hit him. She started crying, "Why?! Is it so hard to leave me alone? I just want to see father and brother. Even if I have to marry Sasuke, I just want my family." Kakashi slowly neared her but got punched away. He stood up, "What is your name?"
Itachi stopped Hikari, "Enough Hikari. We have to kill them before they mess up your head with lies." Sasuke growled, "Shut up. What did you do to those girl? She still thinks the yondaime is alive? She thinks you're Sasuke? Fuck it! I'm Sasuke." Itachi tried to hit him but his sword blocked. Hikari stepped back away from everyone, "What? Sasuke, who are you? Is it true father is dead?" Itachi smirked and head locked Sasuke. Sasuke couldn't get out. His guard was dropped and one move and that kunai will kill him. Itachi laughed, "Foolish girl. I was going to marry you but know I see that is no option. Fine, you can have your idiotic fiancé as long as I have that jinchurinkii." Hikari had tears fall down her face, "So, you're Itachi Uchiha, huh?" She gripped her fists together, "Why?" Itachi smirked, "Power. I knew my foolish brother couldn't achieve my level, but got close. Now, even if you know the truth, I can still use you."
Hikari fell on her knees, "What's the use? My mother is dead. My father turned out to be dead. Is my brother dead too? Is Naruto dead?" Naruto stepped back, "Who are you?" The girl cried, "I hate my name. It only brings me enemies and pain." Sasuke looked at the girl. Itachi smiled, "That boy is your brother's clone. He murdered your brother and took over his body." Hikari looked straight at Naruto, "You killed him? No wonder…" The girl stood up and walked to Naruto. She cupped his cheek, "You feel so much like home…" Naruto blinked at the girl.
Hikari stepped back and
faced everyone, "I'm sorry. I have to do as Itachi asked. It is
my mother's death wish that I marry Sasuke Uchiha. I gave my word.
I won't break it." Naruto felt his eyes wetting, "Is it worth
it?" Hikari shrugged, "I'm worthless now. I followed a traitor.
I have nothing left but to fulfill my promise." Sakura stared.
Naruto…
Sai looked at the two, "You guys look like
twins." Hikari chuckled, "My brother is my twin. Naruto Uzumaki
Kazama." Naruto jumped, "What?" Hikari smiled, "My name is
Hikari Uzumaki Kazama." Kakashi gulped, "I thought you died!"
Naruto turned back, "What?!"
Hikari smiled, "What's new? It seems there are secrets everywhere. You're all going to die. I might as well clear some things up. I was born on October 10th sixteen years ago. My mother gave birth to a boy and a girl. She took the girl and left the boy with the father. My mother, Aiko Uzumaki, told me this everyday. When I become fifteen, I'm to go to Konoha, with or without her and marry Sasuke Uchiha. It was her death wish. I used to think how lucky she was to die before father. But it seems father died first. I was raised in a small hut, outside a small town. That town was far from Konoha. I think it was on the edge of the Wind Country. The far edge, off the official map. I got lost because mother died before I turned fifteen and had to travel back on my own. I met up with Itachi claiming to be Sasuke on a long termed mission. I never liked him. I still don't. He was cruel to me and threatened to end the engagement."
Sasuke felt more hatred towards his brother but he couldn't move. Naruto hissed, "Itachi, how can you do such a thing? And this Naruto Uzumaki. Is he really a Kazama?" Hikari smiled, "What do you care?" Naruto wiped his tears away, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I grew up as an orphan who was born sixteen years ago on October 10th." Hikari cried, "You're not real. I'm an orphan!" Naruto shouted back, "I doubt you're real too!" Itachi growled, "Hikari, I want the fake. Kill the others." With such speed, Hikari took off her cloak to reveal a black and orange outfit. Her shoes were black ninja sandals with high shins. Her shorts were orange and were halfway above her knee. Her top was a black turtleneck that went down to her bellybutton. It was long sleeved and had a flat orange vest on top of it. The vest was much like Konoha's jounin vests, but really thin and unzipped. It had the same symbol as Naruto on the back. She wore fingerless black gloves. Her hair was tied in a low ponytail with a black ribbon.
Hikari was in fighting position, "Let's go!" Kakashi made a joke, "Naruto, are you sure she's not your long lost twin? She has the same horrid fashion sense as you!" Hikari hissed at the man and took out tri pronged kunai. She got prepared to aim as Kakashi shouted, "Watch out! If she aims perfectly, you'll be dead when you blink!" Hikari smirked, "So you know my father's jutsu? Well how about this?" She charged her hand and Naruto stood bug-eyed. Naruto cursed his luck and prepared a rasengan. Hikari smiled and didn't see Naruto, "Rasengan!" Naruto charged and shouted, "Rasengan!" Hikari felt a clash as her own jutsu hit Naruto's. Itachi tightened his grip on the kunai. Sasuke felt a trickle of blood from his neck. Itachi whispered, "I won't kill you yet. I need Hikari."
Naruto breathed as he fell back along with Hikari. She got up and heaved, "How do you know that jutsu?" Naruto smiled, "Ero-sannin taught it!" She cocked her head, "Father's sensei?" Naruto nodded. Itachi shouted as he lost his cool, "Hikari, Sasuke isn't doing well." Sakura looked over to the boy she loved. An idea struck her. She whispered to Yamato and Sai, "We need to rescue Sasuke-kun. That is his bargaining chip." Yamato nodded.
Naruto stared at Hikari, "Are you my… sister?" Hikari wiped her tears away, "I don't know. I don't know whether Itachi is lying or you." She glared at the whole crowd, "I just want to go back home. To Konoha! It's the only home I have! I don't know if father is really dead. I don't know if Naruto is alive either. I'm not even sure why Itachi and his friends want these jinchurinkii people." Naruto softened his look, "Please don't do this." Hikari grinned sheepishly, "Seems like the smart choice huh? But I have to keep that teme safe." Naruto saw that she pointed to Sasuke. He looked down smiling. I call him that too.
Itachi lowered his guard and Sakura came from underground to attack. Yamato blocked Itachi's hand from killing Sasuke. Sai made drawings that turned into birds ready for an aerial attack. Sasuke meanwhile jumped away and back to his team. He rubbed his neck and scowled, "Couldn't you idiots do that?" Itachi got out of the way and faced Hikari, "Well, well sweetheart. It seems I'm out of nice tokens. Until next time." Hikari looked up with red eyes, "I'll kill you bastard! How dare you fool around with me! You want to see power? How's this for power!" Her nails became long. Her hair broke out of the ribbon and became feral. Her fangs bared and she got down on all fours.
Sakura gasped, "Naruto, how is she doing that?" Naruto grabbed his stomach and gritted his teeth, "I feel her anger." She roared and charged. Itachi's sharingan followed but barely. He couldn't get her with his eyes. He cursed the girl and used a jutsu Naruto only seen once. Black flames engulfed the girl and she fell unconscious. Itachi smirked, "We'll meet again, sweetheart." Sasuke growled as he disappeared. He lost his chance again. He looked at the form on the ground. My fiancé? Was it my parents' choice as well? He tried to pick up the girl but Sakura pushed him aside. She checked the girl, "I don't know what that flame is but it isn't good. Her temperature is high and she isn't moving. Her breath is unsteady and she has a high blood level. We need to get to Tsunade's now!" Naruto stared at Hikari, "Is she my sister?" Kakashi shrugged, "I'm not sure. Let Tsunade check it out." Sasuke went to grab her while Sakura was in shock. Sasuke sighed, "I need her healed. If she really is my fiancé, I'll need to keep my parents' word." He picked her up and the team stood there. Suigetsu slowly spoke, "Look Sasuke. We promised to help kill Itachi, not be sent on a wild goose chase." Karin huffed, "I already did what I had to do so goodbye!" Suigetsu laughed, "You're mad because he's taken." The three people just left and it pissed Sasuke off.
Naruto firmly spoke to Sasuke, "Give me her." Sasuke shook his head, "She caused enough trouble for me. I lost my team and now I have to go back to Konoha." Sakura slowly got up, "I want to talk too, but she doesn't have forever." Sasuke nodded and sped off. Naruto cursed and sped up to follow him. The rest of the team followed slower.
Tsunade was sleeping when the doors burst open and she saw Sasuke Uchiha along with Naruto and a girl piggybacked on Sasuke. She stood up angry. Naruto shouted, "Please, baa-chan! Help Hikari!" Tsunade looked at the girl and nodded. Sasuke spoke, "I'm on neutral terms right now. I'll be here during Hikari's stay doing nothing to the village. I won't leave for now." Tsunade snapped her fingers, "You'll be under guard. Give me the girl." Sakura ran in and explained her symptoms. The two rushed off to the hospital. Sasuke started to walk to the hospital with everyone else on the team following. The anbu guards followed close behind.
People in the village saw the Uchiha back and some cheered but most shivered in fear. The rest of rookie 9 and Gai's team were already alerted and they met up at the hospital. Sasuke ignored everyone and sat at the bench waiting for her to be fine. No one dared to come near him except Naruto. He sat next to him, "Why should you care?" Sasuke glared, "She is my fiancé. Not only that but she has information on Itachi." Naruto smiled, "What makes you think she'll leave with you?" Sasuke looked up, "She stayed with Itachi. She'll stay with the real Sasuke." Naruto shook his head, "The real Sasuke is lost. I've yet to bring him back."
Sakura came out and grinned, "Hikari will be fine." Naruto cheered, "Yatta!" Sakura sighed and whacked his head, "Keep quiet. It's a hospital." Naruto quieted down, "The blood test." Sakura looked shocked, "Tsunade already did it, but now we need to do you." Naruto nodded and followed Sakura. Sasuke got up and entered the room. Hinata was brave enough to speak, "What's going on?" Kakashi spoke emotionlessly, "Itachi found a nice present along his travels. That girl was Hikari Uzumaki Kazama." Shikamaru shook his head, "I thought the wife didn't deliver. Does this mean Hikari is Naruto's long lost sister? And that Naruto is the yondaime's son?" Everyone turned to Shikamaru.
Kakashi held his head, "The blood results will be in soon. However, I known her for only an hour and she reminded me of Naruto. Her attitude. Her honor. Her fashion sense. Her look. Everything. She even knows the yondaime's rasengan and flying thunder god jutsu." Kiba looked shocked, "But… Naruto, the dead-last. He's THE fourth hokage's son?" Hinata tapped her fingers, "Why is Sasuke back?" Kakashi sighed. Yamato answered, "Hikari isn't only Naruto sister, but Sasuke fiancé." Ino blinked, "What?" Sai smiled, "It seems the Uchiha was taken the whole time huh?"
Sasuke stared at the sleeping figure. She was pretty. She had brains. She had power. She was his. Sasuke smirked. No more fangirls. I can resurrect my clan with the girl my parents chose. The female stirred and Sasuke held her hand. She got up and blinked. Sasuke helped her be steady. She saw that everything was blurry. "How are you feeling?" She looked up to see Sasuke. She slapped his hand away and fell back. Hikari turned away from him and stared at the blank wall. Sasuke's eye twitched, "What's your problem?" Hikari got up too quickly from the bed and Sasuke caught her.
Sakura came back with Tsunade and Naruto. The results were in. The rest of the team looked to find a very quiet Naruto and pale Tsunade. Naruto heard Sasuke talk and ran into the room. Tsunade followed as did everyone else. They found Sasuke helping Hikari keep steady. Hikari saw Naruto and struggled over to him. Naruto took her in a hug and she leaned into him and cried. Tsunade sighed, "My god… that damn fox!" Kakashi turned, "What did the results say?" Sakura choked, "Hikari wasn't lying. For years Naruto was the most surprising ninja. He still keeps that title. Naruto Uzumaki Kazama is rookie 9's dead last." They turned to see the boy cry along his sister.
Sasuke watched the pair. He sat on the chair again and waited. Naruto put her on the bed but she wouldn't let go. Naruto held her and whispered, "Imoto, don't cry. I won't leave you." She sniffled, "I can't believe you're alive aniki." Sasuke walked over, "Hikari-san. How is it that my parents never mentioned my bethroval to you?" Hikari glared at Sasuke, "How should I know? I'm beginning to think all Uchihas are assholes!" Sasuke glared back, "Hold on now! I ditched my team and Itachi for your welfare! Che, you're just like the dobe." Hikari growled, "My brother is NOT a dobe! He knows rasengan! That took me a whole year!" Naruto coughed, "That took me a month." Hikari turned, "Crap! How'd you do that?" Naruto grinned, "Kage Bushin!" Hikari pouted, "Aww, I never have enough chakra…"
Tsunade smiled, "Hikari, would you like to explain why you would keep it a secret that you're the fourth's daughter?" Hikari cocked her head, "I never hid it, unless mother said to. Mom was really bossy. She never let me date. She never let me leave the house grounds. She always told me that I'll be in constant danger if people found out who I am. She was right. Fucking Itachi tricked me." Suddenly Hikari snapped her fingers, "Hah! Saske-teme said that he didn't know about the arrangement! That means I might have a chance to weasel out of this! If not then I'll date until I get married!" Sasuke looked pissed. Naruto laughed.
Sakura growled, "You're still in the hospital. How do you heal so quickly?" Hikari shrugged, "I dunno. Once there was this guy that tried to steal me but I got so scared that by the time mom came out, she found the guy shredded like an animal and me with long claws and fangs. I had red chakra spewing out. When mom checked me out, I was fine. She cursed father and said something about twin telepathy."
Kakashi smiled, "So what do we do now?" Sasuke turned, "If Hikari is my fiancé, we are leaving." Hikari hissed, "I'm not leaving. Besides, it's your parents' word, you'll be breaking. What a horrible son!" Sasuke glared at the girl while the girl smirked. Naruto tried hard not to laugh. It didn't work. Naruto fell off the bed rolling, "Omg! Sasuke Uchiha is whipped! By my little sister!" Sasuke hissed and walked out the door, "I'll be at the compound." Anbu stopped him. Hikari got up and grabbed his wrist, "Teme. You'll be staying in Konoha until the mess is sorted out!" Sasuke shook her off and sat next to her bed smirking, "Fine. But you're not leaving my side." Hikari glared at him and sat back on the bed.
Sakura sighed and looked at the rookie 9. Even the senseis were frozen in shock. Sakura poked Ino who fell. She set off a chain reaction and everyone was out cold on the floor. Sai grinned, "Wow. They took it well."
