Welcome to Gaia! ::

For a brief moment, he wanted to call after her, to let her know he wouldn't be like his brother. But his throat seemed glued shut. He was alone now, lost with this power that was beginning to consume him.

"GOD.....DAMMIT!" He finally screamed, he threw himself at the rock he had been sitting on, he focused a large amount of chakra into his fist, and he reduced the rock to dust. He didn't want to be weak, he got what he wanted. But in the end. He was left wondering if it was ever worth it.

He fell to his knees, letting the water soak his father's Jounin jacket. Her words echoed, he wanted his old life back, he hated this feeling. He felt like a child, lost in the dark. "I'm pathetic...." He managed to gasp through heavy sobs. "I'm not the strong one here, Sakura is...I'm still weak as ever.."

He began to beat the ground with his fists, sending water up everywhere. Suddenly, a fist collided with the side of his face. "Stop..." A cold voice spoke up to him, it was...Kaiden?

"Don't waste your potential on the ground...come with me, I must reveal everything to you now..." Kaiden extended his hand, for a brief moment, Jeiden thought, he could return to Konoha, apologize for everything he had done to Sakura, or take his brother's hand. He could maybe learn everything about this strange power that tormented him.

Jeiden reached up and grasped his hand, and in a raspy and harsh voice, he muttered, "I just lost everything important to me...Konoha is nothing but a memory now..." A weak smile spread across Kaiden's face. "Konoha was only a temporary home to you. It was never intended for anything else.." The two blonde figures stood, then left the mist.

((It gets a bit sicker..))

They reached a cave on the very border of the fire country, they had been traveling at a very high speed, and Jeiden was short on breath. "Do you remember everything mother told you about our father Jeiden?" Jeiden was leaning against the cave wall, trying to regain his breath, he managed to gasp, "Yes...he was a great Jounin who died in a huge battle right?"

"Wrong. Forget everything you thought you knew about our father..." Kaiden reached into his jacket and pulled out a black notebook. He threw it at Jeiden's feet. "Our father died a missing-Nin, on the run from ANBU members. I know that you thought I was the one doing these experiments...it's our father who is the sick one...and do you want to know why?" Kaiden looked angry now, Jeiden however, looked shocked. He had always thought of his father as a brave and powerful Jounin who died for Konoha...not a coward on the run from his own village.

"Our father became a missing-nin...because he performed sick bloodline experiments on his own sons!" Jeiden's mouth was agape, his entire world had just been turned upside down. "I was the first subject, in a way I was your forerunner, and when I came of age, I was intended to have a special eye implanted. It is the key to unlocking the enormous amounts of chakra hidden away in our bodies. Our father died before I was of age, and it didn't happen." Jeiden looked incredibly sick while looking through the notebook, sometimes flipping through the pages extra fast as if he were sick to look at them.

"When I was 19, I went on a mission to investigate a possible rouge Uchiha. I thought it would lead to our father's killer. It was a trap by Akatsuki. They instantly recognized our father's work and captured only me, killing every other member of my squad." Kaiden looked as he was sick as well, "They gauged out my eye, and replaced it with the one from a Hyuuga in my squad. In a way my body rejected the eye, and altered it so it could be used as the key to my power."

Kaiden snatched the notebook out of Jeiden's hands, as if he didn't want him to see anymore. "I didn't expect you to unlock your limit until the Chuunin exams...but the battle with the Uchiha must have awakened it somehow.." Jeiden's breath returned, "But...I didn't have any operation performed on me, how could I have gotten these eyes?" Jeiden said with a tone of disgust at his souless, pitch-black eyes.

"Yes, you did. When you were born he used a forbidden Jutsu to alter your DNA, you are the improved version of me. Our father never loved us, we were simply his lab experiments." Jeiden now looked incredibly angry, why did this have to happen to him, why did his mother lie to him, what was he? Just a past experiment destined to be thrown away?

"It isn't fair..." If Jeiden had any humanity left in him, it was crushed and thrown to the wind just then.

Jeiden stared up into his brother's eyes, "Where do we go now? If Konoha wasn't meant to be my home...then where?" Kaiden put his hand on Jeiden's shoulder. "Konoha is the source of our wretched existence. No...we leave the fire country, we will travel the lands until the Chuunin exams begin. You will enter and participate in the exams. I will reveal the rest of my plan later."

Jeiden slowly got up, took one last look at Konoha, then turned away from his previous life and friends. He had gained one thing amongst the staggering losses, he had a brother who lived the same half life that he did.

"Wait..." Jeiden called after his brother, "Our mother...was she in on this as well?" Kaiden sighed, "Yes, she helped with the operation on you at birth." Jeiden's upper lip curled in disgust, even his own mother didn't love him.

"Let me have one last visit to Konoha for old time's sake.." His voice full of cruel intent. Kaiden gave yet another sigh, "Fine, but take this for cover, and return as soon as possible." He removed his black cloak and put it around Jeiden's shoulders.

" Heh, the sharingan already. I seem more of a threat to you already eh" Zolo steps up infront of Itachi. "let's go then" Zolo ready with kunai at hand.

(( Godmodding is cheap, don't take me a newbie -- 5 posts ok, let's go))


Zolo threw 6 kunai in all directions one in the direction to fool Itachi of his intentions, following that he did threw some handsymbols fast to perform his jutsu " ken issen no JUTSU ( thousand blades jutsu )!!" Each kunai turning into a thousand. Zolo thought in his head yeah yeah he'll dodge them but that's not my initial plan. With a kunai in his hand he follos behind the barrage of kunai....

As the barrage misses Itachi, Zolo gives a smirk and at three yards Zolo throws the Kunai in his hand. In his back step, Zolo goesint a back flip, and when his handstouch the ground Zolo attaches chakra strings to four kunai and pulls them towards Itachi's back.

"Bring it."
