Recap:
Hidan finally releases him self from tenshis genjutsu along with Kakazu waking from his coma. They're explained the war to which the two immortals are reluctant to join but Tenshi Suades them.
"What are we fucking waiting for then? We gotta war to catch!"
||
Kabuto looks over at his pieces, intrigued with how things have been going at the second division. The snake like rogue ninja observes the tactics playing over at the other divisions of the battlefield. He then stares at the one piece he's been holding in his hand for two to three minutes straight.
"How long are you gonna stare at that?" a voice calls out.
He turns around, and it is Tobi, "Well I wasn't expecting to see you here."
Kabuto licks his lips, "Eventually your ace will have to make it's move, Tobi."
He walks away, and looks back, "We both know that Kabuto, but still your trump card will be the one thing that'll bring fear upon the shinobi alliance."
"Of course." The snake like rogue ninja said.
Tobi gives Kabuto one final glance, "Don't get too confidant in yourself with this Kabuto Yakushi otherwise you'll lose focus with you're involvement in the war."
The Masked Man uses his teleportation ninjutsu as Kabuto continues to stare back at the piece he is holding in his hand.
"How ironic. For those two to meet ." A toothy grin spreads on his cheeks.
|elsewhere|
A male cracks an eye open, sitting up slightly. He takes a look around, his brows furrowing at the familar setting as he had woken up on a bed of flowers in an unnaturally large clearing. Pushing himself up his eyes look over his hands seeing they were not as pale and his body wasn't as thin as it was when he was alive. His vision was as clear as day, a big difference from the blurry haze he was used to. He was completely healthy.
Sprinting past the lone gates that were the entrance of the hidden village. The clear onyx eyed male marvels in awe at the speed he was going. It was twice as fast as he was when he was ill, zipping through the trees in an unknown direction.
How was he alive?
He remembered dying like he planned, succumbing to his illness.However, For some reason he felt like he was forgetting something. No someone. Someone important, someone other then his otouto...
His eyes widen as he tunes back into reality, his feet having brung him to someone. Mouth parted in shock at the curly haired male whom turned to face him, the same friendly smile on his face. He was wearing a burgundy and tan cloak with dark blue almost black ninja trousers. His skin was far different from his own, it was cracked with lines running through and the most noticeable of them all was...his eyes. The sclera was black a contrast to his sharingan.
"Shisui..."
"Hi, Itachi..."
Itachi was at loss for words. There before him stood his deceased bestfriend, now reanimated.
"What's going on Shisui. You are supposed to be...dead" a frown falls upon the crow haired uchihas face.
"So are you."
Itachis breath hitches at the statement, anothet sign that he was in fact alive. He wasn't a reanimation he was fully alive. The real question is, who brought him back...?
"You don't remember do you?" His deceased bestfriend asks with a quirked brow focusing all his power on resisting the person that had been trying to control again. Soon as he had felt a flicker of Itachis chakra he was able to break free and find his bestfriend.
"Remember, remember what?" Itachis eyes narrow.
"That woman who saved you? You caught yourself a real keeper Weasel-San, she was a real beauty! Ano What was her name again?...it's been so long...." Shisui brings his pointer and thumb to his chin in rememberance before snapping, a wide grin on his face.
"Tenshi-Chan!"
Itachis pupils constrict at the name clutching his head in pain as everything came crashing down to him in bits and pieces like a puzzle coming together.
"You deserve better!"
"I'm not sorry that I met you."
'"I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything."
"You've been a terrible person and you've made all the wrong choices and of all the choices that I've made this will be the worst one, but I'm not sorry that I'm in love with you."
"DONT GO!!!"
"T-Tenshi, she...."
"I see you changed your mind and made your choice about coming back. Good thing that girl was able to suade you back in just a nick of time to. If you had kept on being stubborn wouldn't have came back!"
Itachi stays quiet his eyes downcast
"I love you Itachi!"
"So please...DONT LEAVE ME!"
"Tell me what's going on." He shoots his head up, a fire brewing in his eyes. He had been given a second chance. She had
Given him a second chance and he wasn't gonna waste it.
Shisui smirks already having his eyes ready "I thought you'd never ask."
What was a few seconds for Shisui was hours for Itachi as Shisui fed him all the information he had accounted during the war. Including the wannabe orochimarus hideout.
Itachis brows furrow at the information of he is war being started by madara. Including where the person controlling the reanimations was.
Madara. Of course he'd be the root behind all of this.
Itachi goes to take off but Shisui stiffly takes a step in his way, a scowl setting on his face.
"Sorry Itachi but it seems the reanimator has gotten hold of the reigns again. You have to find some way to seal me away."
Before Itachi could respond Shisui went through a flurry of handsigns. Itachis new sharingan eyes following the motions
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu." Shisui yelled.
The genius Uchiha mimics the same jutsu as his elder cousin did. The two jutsu collide against one another. However, his fire style jutsu pales in comparison to Shisuis fire style jutsu making Itachi grit his teeth. The two jutsu cause a smokescreen around the battlefield.
Itachis eyes scan though the smoke before he narrowly back steps a kunai snatching the weapon from midair before a sound of metal colliding sounds throughout the clearing.
It was now a test of strength as Shisui pushed forward no signs of struggle on his reanimated face from the pressure Itachi was giving too.
"Sasuke..." says Shisui with forced empty eyes "He's with the enemy? what happened to him."
Itachi tightens his grip on the kunai bringing chakra to his foot and kicks the uchiha away, a grim line staining his lips. "It's complicated."
Itqchi deflects a flurry of shuriken before bringing his arms up in an X motion, his teeth gritting at the stinging pain behind the midair kick Shisui delivers.
"You're not a true Uchiha if it wasn't." A chuckle comes from the curly haired male as Itachi sighs before talking as they go into a Taijutsu match, only those with ocular Justus only able to see their movements. "He's planning to destroy Konoha for what happened during the Uchiha Massacre."
Itachi reconfirms to his edo tensei cousin.
"So you weren't able to stop it after all... It doesn't matter what happened in the past, let's deal with the situation that's happening now. Defeat me Itachi, I'm sure you know what to do after." Shisui smirks.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu." says Itachi sending small fire like comets at Shisui.
A grin appears on Shisuis face as his body doesn't move and takes the jutsu head on, the flames smashing into him.
Itachi frowns as a burst of chakra blows the fire back his tongue clicking as a glowing green skeletal figure surrounds Shisui. The figure slowly begins to form the upper body of a susano . It has blade-like appendages on its shoulders, the side of its face, and along its forearms. A glowing red yang symbol in the center.
Itachis eyes widen as the symbol stars to glow brighter a barrage of chakra needles shooting towards him. Dodging the needles warily he is unaware of drill sword of the Susanoo thrusting forward, but a skeletal hand stops the sword, cracks on the bone but not broken.
The red Susanoo continues to grow now half complete as it displays an appendage on on it's chin reminiscent a pharaoh's false beard. It has a set of two hands, and armor that surrounds the figure resembles a long nose tengu which wears a of magata earrings.The Yata Mirror, a shield immersed within all five nature elements, appears in it's left hand.
"Do not underestimate me Shisui. A lot has happened in the years that you've been gone ."
Itachi opens his eyes revealing the mangekyou sharingan.
"Now that's more like it!" A challenging grin spreads on the other sharingan blazing males face causing a smirk to appear on Itachis.
Itachis susano grips the lance harder the half completion adding extra strength flings Shisuis Susanoo, it continuously crashing through multiple trees in the opposite the direction. Itachi glanced at the environment around them not surprised by the destruction they were causing, they were uchihas after all. A fight between geniuses.
As if on cue Shisuis Susanoo shoots from the canopy Itachis susano jumping back, gathering chakra to his hand his fresh sharingan spinning wildly. A black fire forms in the palm in the shape of a shuriken of his susanos hands whilst he was still suspended mid air.
"Yasaka Shuriken!"
The Susano throws the shuriken with godly speed at Shisuis Susano as it hits the green susano head on an explosion erupting from the contact. Itachi lands with heavy breathing his susano dulling back to its skeletal form, the shield still in hand.
His heart stops as he spins around. Shisuis Susano appears behind him going for the strike as the curly haired male shouts out in fear for his friend. Forcing the susano to block the lance, Itachi falls to his knee as the shield weakens coming closer to the Uchiha from the pressure Shisui was putting down on him. The last attack had take a lot out of him as his half susano was now gone and all that stood between him and death again was the lone skeletal arm holding the Yata mirror that shrunk gradually from the chakra drainage.
"Itachi get up!" Shisui Barked out in worry as Itachi was now panting heavily almost near his limit. The long crow haired uchiha mentally cursed as his vision started to blur in and out.
Even when so much time has passed... Itachi coughed peering at his reanimated cousin through one eyes as the other was closed in strain.
Im still not strong enough to defeat him...
Suddenly A burning pain emits in his wrist causing his eyes to snap down. To some strange glowing tattoo. A storage jutsu...summoning some chakra, a sheathed Katana appears.
The Kusunagi...how did I get it?
Itachi had vaguely remembered Tenshi keeping the sword in her storage dimension, refusing to use it as it always gave her a bad vibe. The only question was, how was he in possession of it.
It was as if time slowed down and everything around him was gone.
"You..." He uttered in disbelief as he stared at the beast before him. The Orochi...
Itachi was stark still as the large beast they had supposedly defeated drew near, all 8 of its heads, snarling at the Uchiha.
However, the creature stiffened upon taking notice of the mark on his wrist. "Our Queen..." A dark Ominous voice echoed in his mind making his eyes widen as the dragons eyes shifted from his mark to his in realization. For eons the Orochi had been trapped away inside the Kusanagi sword, the very weapon his queen once used, hidden away. All the entity needed was a sign, something to show that she had not forgotten her weapon and there it was; upon some humans limb. The mark of time. The very mark his Queen once had upon her own body. A symbol of ownership.
"No...Our King..." Itachis eyes widened as the creature bowed all of its heads in sudden submission. "Your King...?" He mumbled in confusion.
The dragon kept its head bowed. "That mark on your wrist once belonged to the goddess of time. A mark that allows the user to call upon the Kusanagi sword. We are the true form of Kusunagi."
Itachis breath hitched as he glanced down at the mark. "If that's the case...how do I have the mark..."
"Only those worthy are meant to wield us. Only the master can pass the mark."
"So you're saying..." Itachi trailed off, eyes going wide in realization...
The thing sealed inside Tenshi is...Mirai...Goddess of time...The goddess of time gave me the mark...but why...when
Itachi frowned before shaking his head. Right now he had only one goal and he was gonna use everything in his arsenal to get to it. An image of certain snow haired Lolita appeared in his mind.
"If I am now you're master then lend me your power." Itachi demanded, eyes aflame with conviction.
"With pleasure, our King."
Shisui gasps as he's suddenly blown back, his susano smashing into the trees once again. His scarlet eyes stare in disbelief.
The perfect Susanoo, but it was different. Itachi stared wide eyed as a surge of power courses through him and his energy was back. His eyes snapped to the unsheathed Kusanagi sword in hand and then his own Susanoo. 8 large chakra heads similar to the Orochi he had conversed prior connected to his Susanoo's spine along with two flaming red chakra dragon wings.
"Gomen Shisui-senpai but I can't keep her waiting any longer."
The reanimated Uchiha grins, activating his own perfect Susanoo. "Then what are you waiting for? Don't let me keep you from your woman. "
Itachi quickly shot forward, his Susanoo sword that resembled the Kusanagi clashing with Shisui's weapon. However the reanimated Uchiha didn't even stand a chance as all of the Orochi heads pounced foreword, their jaws crushing into the Susanoo's defense. Shisui's Susanoo went tumbling down. Keeping his Susanoo restrained, Itachi's own placed a heavy foot on its opponents chest.
A curved blade that resembles a dagger appears in the Samurai like Susanoo other hand out of a jar. It raises its hand, the tip facing Shisui's Susanoo.
"You really have grown, Itachi."
A sad smile graces the elder uchihas face and with a battle cry, the dragon like Susanoo slams the tip into The green Susanos chest, where Shisui laid.
"Totsuka blade!"
Itachi watches with sad eyes as Shisuis Susano was now gone and all that was left was the crumbled up corpse of some random nin. His best friend was now gone; sealed in the jar trapped for all eternity.
Itachi's trump card starts to fades away as a light smile edges on his face at his cousins last words. Landing on his feet gracefully he looks toward the sky.
I did it...
He falls to his knees once again but forces himself up taking off in a specific direction.
Now wasn't the time to rest.
"So please...DONT GO!?!"
"I'm here...Tenshi."

I'm surprised no one hasn't made a reanimated Shisui in one of their chapters or atleast an Itachi vs reanimated Shisui? I'm not sure if there is a fanfic with a chapter like that out there but a lot of people like shisui so I hope this quenched your Shisui thirst :3 I thought this chapter was touching for the two best friends. Gave Itachi some closure plus idk about you but I couldn't wait to use the pic above. Like I had saw it on ig a while ago and I was always curious as to what it would be like if Shisui joined the war.
