Welcome back!
Let's clear up some things real quick about the last two chapters.
1. Naruto was not losing.
2. Naruto did not need Kurama to win that fight.
3. Naruto stayed in Base Sage Mode while fighting against 7 S-Rank Individuals.
4. Naruto did not use any of his Sage Mode jutsus.
5. If you believe that Naruto was taking the Gokage seriously, you are bad.
Now let's go into the story ;)
--------------------------
"How many times have you infiltrated Konoha?"
Genji's gaze strayed towards Itachi as both men stuck to the shadows. The man smiled in amusement before responding. "His Majesty tasked me with Tsunade's protection in the early days. I know this village like the back of my hand."
Itachi's crimson gaze trailed towards the man's sword before returning to his amused gaze. This man was incredibly dangerous. Itachi had deduced and then confirmed that the man actually possessed no Chakra signature or even chakra for that matter.
Genji was quite literally a ghost in the Shinobi world. Itachi highly doubted that even the best sensors in the world would be able to detect him. He had no presence, no chakra, and just... didn't... exist.
It was as amazing as it was terrifying.
This man could be standing a foot in front of you and you'd never know unless you actually stared at him.
What a monster...
Both men reached the outer districts of the Uchiha Compound and stood atop one of the many walls that circled around it. Itachi's gaze rose to the sky taking note of the various dark clouds looming over the village. A hint of nostalgia crept into Itachi but he curbed it as soon as it surfaced.
His Sharingan roamed the compound for less than 10 seconds before he began to make his way towards the main compound home with Genji following shortly after.
Visions of the many dead Uchihas that he had slain showed up at every corner. The blood from all their deaths stained the streets and walls. He ignored the visions as he slowly halted outside of his former home.
His expression softened, if only slightly, as he stared at the front of the large home. The memory of his mother welcoming him home with a loving smile as his younger brother ran out of the home clinging to his leg, popped into his head.
"Ni-san! Ni-san!"
Itachi's eyes closed as his head tilted towards the sky. A flash of lightning followed by a thunderous boom rang out as rain began to pelt the village. Itachi's form became drenched in a matter of seconds and he cared little for it.
Genji's finger tapped the sheathe of his blade as he studied the man beside him. So the Reaper was capable of emotion...
Genji had assumed that Itachi was more monotonous than even the King. His Majesty had been slowly showing signs of... normal behavior over the years but it was still an arduous task.
Genji would allow the man to mourn. Even he wasn't so heartless as to deny the man his one wish.
Several minutes of silence went by with the only noise coming from the occasional booms of thunder before Itachi finally moved towards the home. Genji stayed a step behind the man as Itachi entered his former home.
