Truth

" Izana- "

Itachi swiftly stopped the casting mid way, as he found Shin appearing on his side, sliding in from the throat of this creature.

" Yo! How's your healing? "

Itachi looked at Shin emotionless.

To which Shin hit Itachi's head with a fist, he couldn't move anyway, a feature of rinnegan chakra and king of hell.

" What's with that look huh? You can stop pretending now, I am not Sasuke you know. "

Itachi's heart leapt up to his chest, did the Mist Shinobi manipulate his brother with this secret.

" I don't know what you are talking about. "

Said Itachi without a care in his voice, as if he wasn't the one who was lying flat and couldn't move.

Shin rolled his eyes.

" Yes yes, I might actually believe it if you know, the village didn't try to assassinate me. "

Itachi's eyes opened wide as he growled out a sentence.

" They did what? "

To which Shin also laid down besides Itachi.

" They set up a trap for me and my teammates to walk into, sent root subordinates to finish us off afterwards, I only survived because I had my Mangekyou as a backup. "

Looking towards Itachi who had managed to control his emotions but his rage was still very much visible, Shin told him the truth.

" I wanted to meet you because I found out the truth, and I wanted your help, Hokage and Danzo want to kill us off, both Sasuke and me are in a lot of danger. "

Looking upwards with a tired smile he told Itachi

" Every action I take I have to think if this will somehow upset the Hokage and will he send assassins to Sasuke or me. I am tired brother, I really can't do this anymore. "

Itachi was not even aware that he was beginning to weep, just kidding, everyone is aware when they weep, he pretended to not be aware for that glamour shot.

Shin didn't speak, he told Itachi a very exaggerated version of the truth but it wasn't that far off either.

He really wasn't safe neither was Sasuke, but all this was because he wanted to take his Uchiha rights back, Itachi's fear only works for so much.

But when it's a matter of interests.

A man corrupt with power like Hiruzen was the first to act, Danzo was always behind anyway, hell, Naruto's property was lost to the ether or what, Naruto ate shit when they ate the meat.

" Is what you said true? "

Asked Itachi, he found that there was a lot of nonsensical points but he knew there weren't that many, Konoha really does want to kill shin for awakening Mangekyou, this much he can confirm.

It had happened both to Shisui and to him, so depending on the jutsu possessed by Shin, it is indeed possible.

" Yes it's true, I had to fight back to not die and recreate the clan, so that also doesn't sit right with them. "

Looking towards Itachi, Shin persuaded.

" Itachi, Konoha is Konoha, Hokage and his teammates aren't Konoha, they are a problem, they are killing Konoha and killing us. "

Itachi didn't speak anymore, he would see everything for himself, and it's indeed the truth, nothing has changed at all, if changing the Hokage and his unqualified teammates works, so be it, as long as Konoha doesn't burn in war.

" What is this jutsu of yours? Is it a healing jutsu Shin? It really suits your temper. "

Mumbled Itachi, he had tactically agreed to Shin's words, that's why he was asking about the jutsu, but before that, he had to see what's happening.

So they can make a plan and act correctly when they get out, Konoha wasn't the only danger, Atatsuki was as well, and so was that Madara Uchiha.

" Yes, it's my healing jutsu, healing anything and everything, and my second jutsu is Tsukuyomi sweet right? "

Giving a smile, Itachi laughed lightly.

" Yes, it's pretty sweet. "

When the brothers were spending quality time inside the stomach of the summoned beast of animal path, the outside world was very tense.

Utakata, the six tail jinchuriki was wondering if coming back was the right decision, he was told a new Mizukage had taken office, and that a new urgent mission was awaiting.

While everything was true, but these people standing on their opposite were a scary bunch, he was not sure if paying back Kasamaro sama's friend needed their village to take such a big risk.

But he'll wait and see, now that he has decided to come back, he will at least see to it that Kasamaro sama is what kind of Mizukage.
