Itachi walked around the battle ground remeber when he used to fight here as a kid. He was silent as he watched the little ninja fight. I was far better then all of you. He stopped as he heard soeone approach. "Hello, Jutsumaster."

"Hello Itachi," she said walking from behind a tree."It's been a while, don't you think." She leaned against the tree.

Itachi smiled. "Oh Jutsumaster, aren't you flattering." He tilted his head to the side. "How about a fight, forold times sake huh?" His eyes turned red going into level three sharingan. Regardless of whether or not she wanted to fight, they were.

Jutsumaster pulled out a kunai. "Fine then, let's go then." She stood up staright and tightened her gripp on the kunai. "Don't go too easy," she said with a little amusement.

Itachi eyes narrowed. "I wont," he said pulling out his own kunai. He started going towards her with unnatural speed.

Jutsu clashed kuani with him. Sparks flew and she refused to blink because Itachi had gotten her like that once and she'd learned form her mistakes. She pulled another kunai with her other hand and brought it to his side.

Itachi caught it with his hand pushing her to the tree with force. "Hmhp, nice try, but that's not going to happen." He tilted his head to the side. "So, I heard Takashi visted you, how'd it go?" He laughed. "Are you two back together again?"

Jutsu tried to push him back, but he had her pinned. "Not so well," she said. "And I'm staying single for the time being." She pushed him back some then brought her leg up enough to push him back some more leaving her enough distance to get free.

Itachi shrugged. "Come on Jutsumaster," he said pulling out a secone kunai. "I thought you were stronger than that." He threw a kunai.

Jutsu blocked it but the force had knocked her off balance. He's stronger and faster, this fight isn't going to end well. She stood up and shoke herself off. "Whatever you say Itachi."

Itachi giggled. "You make me laugh Jutsumaster." He said starting at his hand signs. "Fire Style: Ulimate Fire Ball Jutsu!" A ginat fireball taht was six times bigger than the normal Fire Ball shot at Jutsu.

Jutsu gasped and dove to the side. Oh man, he's really gotten stronger since we fought back in the Akatsuki hideout.

Itachi appeared infront of her and kicked her into the tree. Not a second later was he pinner. "You say you're single, what happened to Tenma, did he leave you?"

<<xantrex was walking around, taking a shortcut through the battle grounds to get to the training grounds. he heard the sounds of a battle echoing. he decided to go check it out for the fact he hadnt seen a good battle in a while.>> wonder who's getting beat to a pulp over here anyways... <<then he saw the flare of a fire jutsu>> no way...can it be? <<xantrex ran over to the site of the battle only to see Itachi and Jtsumaster going at it. he smiled a little. (xantrex has his Akatsuki cloak on)>> It's Itachi. the Akatsuki is still alive. <<xantrex stayed in the shadows. there wasnt much he could do against jutsumaster, but he was ready to help if Itachi needed it>>

Jutsu turned to the side. "Shut up." She kicked him in the gut. "Ninja Art: Forbidden Jutsu; Dead Seal." Jutsu was ticked, her hand glowed purple and she doved her fist into Itachi's gut knocking him back with extreme force. "Don't you ever...I mean it, don't you ever speak his name. You vile, peace of..." Jutsu bowed her head. "I swear on my life Itachi Uchiha, if you ever speak badly of him again, I'll end you!" Her voiced was strained and her face began to become streaked with tears. She was rerally, really, really mad.

<<xantrex silently took out a kunai. he wouldnt step in right away. he knew Itachi wouldnt like that. even so, he wondered when would be a good time to step in.. he didnt know Itachi well enough to know what the consequences would be if he decided to step in too early. but if he stepped in to late...>>

Itachi landed near the egde of the hill. He wasn't moving and everything seemed to spin. Jutsumatser was really mad. A forbieden jutsu eh, she must really be in love with that boy. He stood up trying to regian his strength that had seemed to disappear. Whatever jutsu had done had damaged him badly. I can't even use the Sharingan. "Well, well Jutsumaster. You've improved. It seems as if I've hit a soft spot." He smiled but it faded. Something wasn't right. Things began to take on a diffrent shape and the world began to turn black. Pain eased it's through his body and he calasped. "What...kind of..." His vison blurred and then everything went black. He must have been dying.

Jutsu grinned then feel to her knees. "A forbidden one." She looked to the trees. "Take him home before I decide to take his life for good." She looked back at Itachi and smiled. Thank you for the fight, Itachi.

<<xantrex looked in shock as Itachi sunk to the ground>> what the hell was that? <<there was no way he could take on jutsu, especially after seeing that move>> I have to get Itachi back to the hideout...who knows what that move really did to him... <<xantrex dissappeared in the shadow of the trees and reappeared from Itachi's shadow>> if i'm too late.... <<xantrex picked up Itachi, looked at jutsu, and dissappeared in the shadow of a nearby tree with Itachi>> could things get any worse here?
