บท 36: Mastermind

Just thought I would put this at the beginning.

I was reading some comments and a lot of people are worried that i'm going to be dropping at the point of the original.

I AM NOT!

I have a lot of stuff planned but I will be honest upload speed may slow down. Prob no more of this 4-5 chapter a day shit unless I snort some cocaine. It will probably be more like 1 or 2 chapters a day but we will see I guess. I have to get into the groove of it. Anyways I just wanted to clear that up so don't worry about it.

**************************************

Inside of the Sky Poison Pearl Jasmine was screaming frantically. "What is this?! Why can't I see outside?!" she cried out. "Can you hear me Itachi?" she asked in a slow sorrowful voice. It seems as if she was broken. Her relationship with Itachi and the Sky Poison Pearl had been broken and this made her very worried.

This could only mean two things. Either the relationship with her and the Sky Poison Pearl was severed or… Itachi was dead… or atleast almost dead. At this thought her eyes glazed over a bit. Sadness she never knew she would feel for Itachi consumed her.

"You can't die here! You hear me! I will never forgive you if you die like this!" Jasmine cried with tears covering her face.

"Please wake up… Don't leave me alone again…." she whispered.

**********************************

In the arena however the silence did not last long when Itachi fell over seemingly dead.

"Itachi!" shouted Chu Yuechan as she ran towards him. Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue also came right after her running towards his body.

"Sister! Qingyue!" shouted Chu Yueli but to no avail. When the three of them were close to him however, something happened. Something nobody ever expected. A man came out from a circling hole in space blocking the way of Chu Yuechan and the others. The man wore a long black cloack with the Uchiha emblem on the back. His face was hidden behind an orange mask that swirled towards the small hole for one eye. Behind the hole however was a Sharingan fully activated. Everyone watched this in shock….

"Sorry ladies…. But I'll be taking both of them." the masked man said. His voice had started very high and friendly before turning into a deep voice. A flash of recognition appeared into everyone's eyes.

"T-This…." stuttered on cultivator unable to believe his eyes.

"His hair is shorter but this mask… could it be…. Madara Uchiha?" Ling Yuefeng said curiously but also deeply envious of the relationship between Itachi and Chu Yuechan. Even Ling Kun who was the elder of the Might Heavenly Sword Region was frowning at this moment.

"You! What are you doing to Itachi!?" Chu Yuechan asked. The masked man simply titled his head and looked her before speaking.

"Sadly… it's none of your business…" he spoke. Chu Yuechan than begane to use her Profound Arts to launch ice spikes towards Madara. "I don't care what your plans are… I won't let you take them!" Chu Yuechan said. The ice spikes were launched at incredible speeds and everyone seemed to realize they were about to hit Madara. However when the ice spikes reached him…. They all went straight through his body.

"W-What…?" said Ling Yun in surprise.

"It passed… through his body..?" Said Xia Qingyue in shock. Madara than when to Itachi's side, place his hands on both Itachi and Sasuke.

"Wait!" Chu Yuechan shouted, but nothing happened. Without saying a word Madara disappeared into a spinning hole in space with Itachi and Sasuke's bodies. Chu Yuechan and the others remained frozen for a few moments before they finally realized what just happened.

**************************

Deep within a forest a man holding two bodies appeared from a spinning hole. He put down the two bodies on the floor before walking towards a tree. He looked at the bodies before sighing to himself. He than touched his pocket and found what he needed… He suddenly took out a cigarette and started smoking.

"System…. Tell me how many points I got…"

[Ding! During the course of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, the host has received over 149,483 CP! While your balance is not the same however due to your main body spending CP.]

The current Madara thought partition closed his eyes and thought to himself. "Ah…. So this is how Aizen feels when he pulls something off…" he thought to himself while taking another hit of his cigarette. "My main body is going through some troubles I can tell… While the main thought partition denies it, It has taken a lot from Itachi's memory and inheritance. It want's its own body but will never truly be ever to drop Itachi… Shuji or Itachi…" he said to himself.

"This world has created something new…. He is not Okino Shuji but he also isn't Itachi Uchiha… He is both of them wether he admits it or not… The main thought partition would hear these thoughts but this just further proves it… after all.. We are the same thought process." he said as he opened his eyes and stared at the bodies of Sasuke and Itachi.

The Itachi body was actually a blood clone the original made but inserted his eyes in… The Sasuke body would take these eyes and unlock the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. His main body should be undergoing a evolution at this moment. He would probably no longer need those eyes. This would be his evolution from Shuji and Itachi. This would be his evolution into a new being of this new world he found himself in.

He sighed to himself again thinking about it. "Can't believe that the acting skills we bought from the system worked so well though… I basically remade the original scene and made everyone believe it as well…" he said as he threw down his cigarette and stepped on it. "I suppose it's about time I get ready for the future… I will roam the seven Great Countries and plant the name of the Uchiha in certain historical monuments and such. I'll also send the Akatsuki out soon to…" Obito said outloud.

"What should I do?" asked Sasuke suddenly waking up.

"Well… You should probably join the Akatsuki. We will follow the original plan that was laid out. No need to change anything that doesn't need fixing. You can also undergo the eye transplant unlocking the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. The main body has a Hiraishin seal on Xia Qingyue so he can steal the Water Seed when they enter the Secret Realm of the Heavenly Basin…" he spoke. Sasuke nodded before he seemingly vanished in place.

"Alright then… System go ahead and make the connection of the Sky Poison Pearl and the main body again…" Obito spoke.

"I still don't understand why we did this but whatever…I got outvoted by other thought partitions…" he thought to himself.

[Ding! Connection between the Main Body and the Sky Poison Pearl established!]

*************************************

Inside the Sky Poison Pearl, Jasmine sat inside with her eyes red with tears and now looked lifeless. "Why does everyone around me die like this…" she whispered sadly. "Mom first… than big brother… and now even him…" she said.

*PFSHHH*

Suddenly Profound Qi began to flow once again in the Sky Poison Pearl. Jasmine flinched at this and began looking around. She could feel that she was connected to Itachi again. Perhaps even stronger than before. She started looking through the Sky Poison Pearl to see where they where.

The first thing she realized was that they were somewhere deep underground. It looked like a paradise however. The plant's provided natural light throughout the entire cave and a small pond laid in the middle of the cave. She also realized that she was inside some kind of test tube. She looked and realized that this body she was inhabiting currently looked nothing like Itachi. She was no beginning to become worried.

Jasmine checked again but realized that he felt the exact same. She was extremely confused about what was happening but could feel that changes where happening from within his body. The liquid that he was bathed in seemed to be nourishing him while also doing something to his bloodlines. On the left and right of him were two Identical test tubes with two more people inside of them. One of them had white hair while the other had red hair. She realized that she wouldn't be getting answers for now so she decided to wait while hoping that Itachi was ok.
