========================3RD POINT OF VIEW========================

After Itachi and Fugaku came back from the bloody piles of corpses, they went to the funeral wearing black suits and stood there, mourning the dead. Fugaku Uchiha was quietly arguing with an Uchiha about Kakashi's Sharingan. Itachi couldn't care less. He was looking forward to meeting this creepy-snake man AKA Orochimaru.

Itachi was looking around and finally noticed him. Itachi ran to him. When he reached him, Orochimaru was mumbling about the meaninglessness of grieving over the dead. Itachi wanted to question this guy. So he said in a childish voice,

"Mr.Orochimaru, what do you think the meaning of life is?"(Itachi) Orochimaru looked at him,

"There is none. But there is a meaning in life if it's eternal."(Orochimaru) Itachi looked at his creepy pale snake-face,

"I think the meaning of life is death."(Itachi) Orochimaru looked at him with curiousity.

"What do you mean?"(Orochimaru)

"If you live forever, when will you ever understand why you lived or who you lived for?"(Itachi) Orochimaru smiled and seemed as if he was thinking.

"You're only a naive child. You never died have you?"(Orochimaru) Itachi smiled in a as-a-matter-of-fact manner in his head.

"Neither did you Mr.Orochimaru."(Itachi) Orochimaru faintly laughed, then he slowly walked out of the funeral and Itachi watched him.

(What a creepy guy)(Itachi)

A DAY LATER

Itachi was in deep thought, as his ablility, Aisuchiru[Eye Steal], gave him many ideas. But the first thing in his mind was to find the cliff where the crows were located. Itachi had the idea of storing eyes onto the Crow, for future purposes. Aki regretted telling Itachi about the ablility of his.

"Couldn't you tell the future with your godlike powers?"(Itachi)

"Of course not! It'll take a large amount of power! Then I'd have to rest! For a long time!"(Aki)

"Alright! Alright! Sheesh"(Itachi) He didn't really want to bother this obnoxious girl in his head. After thinking, Itachi persuaded his parents to allow him to go out for awhile. Fugaku trusted him, but still was suspicious. Mikoto forced many conditions on Itachi until she was satisfied. During the converstation, Itachi noticed that Fugaku was seemingly ignoring Mikoto more than usual. Mikoto barely talked when Fugaku was talking to Itachi.

(It looks like Fugaku is starting to transform into his loner self.)(Itachi) Itachi ran to his room and wore the Uchiha shirt and tan-colored shorts. He grabbed his brownish backpack that was prepared with water bottles and ninja tools and wore on his back. He walked to the entrance of the house and noticed that Fugaku was leaving too.

"Bye! I'll be back soon."(Itachi) Itachi waved his hand to his mother's direction.

"Bye! Come back before dark!"(Mikoto) I waved back and when I looked at her, her belly seemed a little bloated.

"I trust that you'll be back."(Fugaku) I nodded to his direction, and went out.

"So, where do we go?"(Aki) Itachi was unsure. Itachi recalled that in the manga, Itachi went to a forest, then to a cliff above a river.

"The closest forest or cliff that's near here. But I'm honestly not sure where the Crow is."(Itachi)

"Did you not plan this before?"(Aki)

"Heh. Sorta. I thought you could help with this."(Itachi)

"*sigh* Ok, let me scan this area and search for Itachi's Crow. Don't do anything stupid!"(Aki)

"I'm mentally old enough."(Itachi)

To pass time, Itachi started walking and inspecting the town. He saw markets, a sweets store, ect. Itachi wasn't interested in sweets. He loved the opposite! Sour things. Lemons and limes on everything! Though it weirded out Mikoto and irritated Aki. As he was strolling, he stopped and noticed an 7 year old boy with short dark hair, with an energetic smile, he held his father's hand.

(This must be Shisui!)(Itachi) Itachi hesitated for a moment, but then decided to greet him. Itachi ran over to him and waved his left hand near his head,

"Hi!"(Itachi) Shisui looked confused,

"Hi? Er..."(Shisui) Shisui felt awkward,

"Sorry, my name's Itachi Uchiha! What's your name?"(Itachi) Shisui was startled but quickly composed himself.

"Oh ok! This is random. But, my name is Shisui Uchiha!"(Shisui) Shisui excitedly yelled out. Itachi looked at Shisui's father curiously, his face was a bit tanned and oddly resembled Fugaku. His hair short brownish hair, which probably gave Shisui the front side of his messy hair.

"Hi there!"(Shisui's father) Shisui's father looked his son.

"Do you know him?"(Shisui's father) Shisui shook his head.

"Nope. But we can be friends."(Shisui) Shisui stared at Itachi excitedly. Shisui's father squinted his eyes and closely examined Itachi. Unexpectectly, he frowned at Itachi.

"Sweet!"(Itachi) Itachi and Shisui shook hands and started introducing themselves. Shisui's father introduced himself as Rakura Uchiha.

"Hey. Itachi, are you Fugaku's child?"(Rakura) Itachi tilted his head a bit, and in a questioning manner, he asked,

"Yeah.. Why and how do you know that?"(Itachi) Both Shisui and Itachi looked at Rakura confused,

"This may be sudden but, you could say, I'm your uncle. Had Fugaku never told you that?"(Rakura) Itachi and Shisui had wide eyes and was shocked beyond words.

"I was just here to talk about the affairs of Uchiha with Fugaku and the others. Speaking of which, I must drop off Shisui."(Rakura) Itachi had his mind filled with questions, as a Itachi fan, he wanted to know more.

(How come I never knew about this?)(Itachi) As Itachi thought more, he came up with a conclusion. Fugaku was most likely too busy with training and improving Itachi, to the point where he didn't consider introducing his side of the family. It was unnecesary.

"Hey! I found where Itachi's Crow is located!"(Aki) She was excited.

"Oh! Great!"(Itachi) Itachi looked at his newly-introduced cousin.

"Hey Shisui, I have something to do. So I'll be right back ok!"(Itachi) Shisui nodded.

"We'll meet right back. I have other things that must be done aswell!"(Shisui) Itachi and Shisui hugged eachother and waved goodbye. Shisui and his father quickly walked away. While this was happening, a "certain someone" felt a tinge of jealousy and envy.

"Hey, so where's the Crow?"(Itachi)

"..."(Aki)Itachi was confused about her sudden slience. Usually she's active and obnoxious.

"What's wrong?"(Itachi) Itachi was confused. Then thought about it. Why is she acting like this? Could it be.... No..

"N-nothing. I just... Never felt family love before. You know, I am a Goddess afterall. Well, the only one alive that is."(Aki) Itachi and Aki felt awkward. Itachi couldn't really console her, she was in his mind afterall. No physical body. He could tell she didn't want to talk about her situation.

"N-nevermind about me. Let's go. The Crow is south of here!"(Aki) She was excited again. Itachi never thought about Aki's life.. But didn't want to bother her by probing on the matter.

Aki lead Itachi out of the village and into a forest near here. To speed up his pace, Itachi used the Body Flicker Technique. Though, it took 7 seconds to cover his body with enough Chakra. It seems like a small amount of time, but during a battle, it's disadvantaegous.

"Again.. You're only 4."(Aki)

"I have the mentalitiy of a 37 year old! Not including the years I've been in this world!"(Itachi) Aki sighed bitterly in his mind. Itachi gave a smirk.

"I can sense the Crow! It's a several kilometers away from you!"(Aki) Itachi ran faster, but not too fast, in order to not burn up his Chakra. After following the directions of Aki. Itachi saw bright light as he dashed through the large tree branches. When he went into the bright light, he was out of the deep forest. And he landed on a purplish rocky cliff.

"Look in front of you! It's right there."(Aki) Itachi looked in front of him and saw a black a Crow, which seemed to be looking at Itachi, standing at the other side of the purple cliff. Dividing the cliff, was a long river that was beneath them.

"I wonder if I can make this jump?"(Itachi) Itachi thought for a moment. But noticing that the seperation was about the length of 3 buses, he stopped believing.

"Atleast you have some common sense!"(Aki)

"Well my past-world common sense doesn't apply here! I'm trying to adapt!"(Itachi)

"If you use your Chakra, you might make it."(Aki) Itachi thought for a moment. He didn't really have many options here. Itachi removed his backpack from his back and placed it on the purple surface. Itachi placed his left sat down with one knee on the floor while the other made a square postition. He unzipped the largest part of the backpack and grabbed 2 Kunais and a tan sack filled with Military Rations Pills/Food Pills[1] .

He untied the sack and took one of the Food Pills and swallowed it. Itachi felt a sudden burst of Chakra and energy from his stomach area. The feeling quickly spread through his whole body. He retied the sack and shoved it in the backpack.

After zipping up the backpack, he turned to the other side of the cliff. The Crow was still there waiting as if curious. Itachi felt a bit bothered and irratited by it and stood up. He backed up to prepare for a massive jump. After covering his body with Chakra, he dashed forward. Just as he was about to reach the end of the cliff, Itachi jumped with all of his strength and with the Body Flicker Technique, He landed on the end of the cliff where the Crow was at.

He was excited and proud, but as soon as he tried to move, the tip cracked and broke off. Thus leading to Itachi's fall. Itachi became panicky and scared. His hands that were holding the Kunai, started trembling. One of the Kunai slipped off his grip and went out of his grasp quickly. It would only take several seconds before he hits the floor and his body is smashed into pieces.

(Will this be my end!? What DO I DO? WHAT? UHH..)(Itachi)

"USE YOUR KUNAI TO SLOW DOWN YOUR FALL! DON'T PANIC!!"(Aki) Itachi, with the help of the merged mind of Itachi and Aki's advice, barely composed himself and gripped his Kunai harder. He stabbed his Kunai onto the wall to slow the fall. It wasn't enough.

"NO I WILL NOT DIE HERE! NEVER!"(Itachi) He felt surging ocular power, and with it, he activated his Sharingan. It glowed bright red light, and with it, it had a ring with 3 Tomoes. The other Kunai that slipped off his hand, was in his sight.

"PLOT NO JUSTU!!!"

He stabbed the cliff harder and reached out for the Kunai. He stabbed his middle finger through the hole and spun the Kunai with it. He gripped the handle and stabbed the cliff.

"USE YOUR LEGS!! IT ISN'T ENOUGH!!!"(Aki) Itachi couldn't do anything else other than agree. Itachi slammed his feet onto the wall and used the Tree Climbing Justu to slow it down even further. It was a very risky move. If he hadn't practiced Chakra Control since birth, he might've been launched off and fall to his death.

The falling stopped and Itachi felt relieved. He was so close to the ground and to his death. Itachi fell off the wall and hit the hard surface. His whole body felt extremely numb, and he blacked out.........

"#&^%! WAKE UP!! DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ME!"(Aki) Itachi slowly opened his eyes. His higher-half of his body stood up as his legs laid down. He rubbed his eyes with one hand. There was a black crow standing on his left shoulder. And what seemed to be a beautiful woman crying yet holding a happy and relieved smile. It was directed at him.

"Uhhhh.... Do I know you?"(Itachi) His hand heistantly reached out for the woman.

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT!"(Aki) Itachi's eyes widen.

"Oh! Aki! Why do you look like this?"(Itachi) She wiped her tears.

"I was going to manifest this body after you turn 18. As a present. Heh heh."(Aki) Itachi grew blacklines on his forehead.

"Erm, this is not what I expect from a Goddess."(Itachi) Aki looked apologetic.

"Then let me explain why I choose to reincarnate you. I think I'm prepared to explain my situtation."

END OF CHAPTER 5 [LOL]
