(At the Akatsuki Academy meeting room)

Kakume: Itachi, the world council for peace found merit on Mr. Kiyotaka's operations. They've decided to take their hands off of the white room experiments. 

Itachi: So that means they believe nothing is wrong with what they're doing with the kids they have adopted. 

Deidara: What? But our spies said they're using them as test subjects for whatever that Orochimaru is cooking. I don't understand why they'd permit such kind of assault against young children.

Kakuzo: I know it's all about money. The council could have been bought by Mr. Kiyotaka to back off and stay away from his business.

Konan: Well, their final report says, the experiments are necessary for the advancement of human race. They're making perfect children so their future would be better so does the world's future.

Deidra: Perfect my butt! Deindre reported how much suffering they've gone through as test subjects. I demand we abort the mission and recall our students.

Hidan: Are you idiot Deidra? You don't need to demand. The mission is already canceled since the council said they're hands off Mr. Kiyotaka's business. 

Itachi: That's true Dei. I already called our students to find a way to escape and return here.

Deidra: Well that's good. I can't wait to see my daughter back.

Kakuzo: As long as the council will still pay us for the services our students did gathering information for them.

Hidan: Why is it always money for you Kakuzo? You even stopped me from investigating about Ibuki Kuroshi because his father paid you a big amount of money.

Kakume: What do you mean, Hidan?

Kakuzo: Damn Hidan your mouth again. Ok I admit I accepted the money but that's for the best benefit of our academy. Why do you think all of you are still living lavishly up to now if I haven't been wise financially?

Itachi: What about Ibuki that you found out Kakuzo, Hidan?

Hidan: That lazy student is really named Ibuki Kiyotaka. He is Mr. Kemono's  son.

Konan: What? He enrolled his son to our school? He was here for three years already.

Itachi: That means Mr. Kiyotaka had long eyed our academy. As to why that's what we should know.

Deidra: Well that's true. He could pose a threat to us. But leave my daughter away from it. I am recalling her.

Kisame: No one said your daughter is doing it Deidra.

Kisame entered into the meeting room late. 

Deidra: Whoah I didn't know the fish has sharp ears. You're late but it seems like you have heard everything we have talked about.

Kakume: Stop getting pissed Deidra.

Kisame: By the way, one of the sharks submarine I had placed in the east reported this.

He gave Itachi the yellow scarf.

Itachi: This is Sarada's. I know this. Izumi embroidered her name on it. Do you know where she is?

Kisame: I know, I saw her name on the scarf. I believe she is in a certain island and in grave danger. My sharks wouldn't report to me something that isn't important.

Itachi: I am calling the meeting adjourned. I will go and rescue my daughter. Kakume take charge of the academy while I'm out.

(In the Island of Death)

Sasuke POV

I saw Sarada was unconscious. I know I don't care so much about her but I felt worried seeing her like this. She seemed to have suffered much not to be awakened after all the noise and ruckus happened.

What did he do to her? This boy he has talent.  He just defeated Suigetsu and Jugo without much effort. What the hell is he doing here with Sarada?

I got annoyed by his disrespect and arrogance. So before he could leave I wanted to have him explained what happened to Sarada. 

Was it Itachi who did this to her or was it this boy?  

I blocked his way but I guess I need to fight him to get answers. I will teach him a lesson.

Susanoo!

Ibuki: Bring it on.  Susanoo!

I am amazed at how he can execute a full armored susanoo. I can't help but appreciate how he was able to dodge all my attacks and how well he could counterattack at a young age. I coughed blood as my body was now trembling from the injuries I got.

Sasuke: Are you an Uchiha? Are you Itachi's son? 

Ibuki: I don't care about the Uchiha. You are nothing compared to the Kiyotaka. But I want to test my ability with an Uchiha and probably murder Itachi the strongest ninja alive. 

Sasuke: Hn. So you are Kemono's son and Shana's fiance. Hahahahaha.. My adoptive daughter Shana always talks about Ibuki Kiyotaka. And I finally get meet you unexpectedly in this strange island. Such an arrogant brat. 

Ibuki: Never really cared about Shana. And I don't care about what you think of me too Sasuke.

Sasuke: Oh so tell me what you did to my daughter Sarada.

Ibuki: That weakling Sarada. I gave her mercy by not killing her. You should be thankful I just erased her memories.

Sasuke: You what? How dare you mess with my daughter. Let me see if you can still act high and mighty after I burn you with amaterasu.

I tried to burn him but with wind style he shielded himself from being touched with the raging black flame and cancelled my amaterasu. I was suddenly unable to move and realized I was caught in his genjutsu.

Under the genjutsu, I saw Sarada screaming in the dark, running away from the crows. I couldn't do anything to help her. I am being chained and burned with black flame. All I could do was witnessed how she had suffered under Itachi until she stabbed herself to death and fell off the cliff. I don't know if those are illusions or real.  I felt terrible anger seeing what happened to Sarada. 

I know I wasn't a good dad. The truth is I have never been a dad to her.  I was just her abusive trainer. But this scenario I saw, it's  hurting me as I saw her suffered. I wanted to break free from the genjutsu and investigate if it's true or not. But it was just too strong and my only way was to summon manda the snake.

Manda: Ugghhh.. Sasuke, you're up against a boy and you're suffering like this. You are getting old and weak. Well I guess it's ok since I haven't eaten yet.

The snake swallowed Ibuki alive and his genjutsu stopped. I was released and I was breathing heavily. I was temporarily relieved but Manda suddenly exploded into tiny pieces and that boy Ibuki smirked at me.

Ibuki: You bore me. 

He flickered to Jugo, Suigetsu and Karin who was holding Sarada and knock them off with one hand. Then he vanished carrying Sarada away from my sight.

I abhorred him but my body failed me. I had so much injuries and my chakra is too low. I looked at Karin, Jugo and Suigetsu they're all in a worst situation than me.

I laid on the ground to rest and looked at the sky. But I wasn't at rest. I saw Itachi's face. 

Big brother am I dreaming?

Itachi: You are such a shame Sasuke.

I stood up and realized Itachi was indeed in front of me with his sharingan glaring at me. I panicked for I don't have enough strength to fight him. 

So he was really here. Did he and Ibuki hurt Sarada?

My anger got a hold of all my being but my body did not cooperate. All I could do was scream to my lungs. 

Sasuke: I will kill you Itachi!!!

Itachi: Where is Sarada, teme? Where is  my daughter?

Sasuke: Huh? You knew?

I trembled at the sound of his voice. I saw his eyes piercing through my soul. He subject me to a genjutsu and peeked on my memories. Then he released me and insulted me as he always does.

Itachi: Grow up Sasuke. You are a shame to carry the name Uchiha. You're a waste of time to deal with. It's better for you and your gang to stay jailed on this island.

He left with an insulting smug and cast a sealing jutsu on the island with millions of his eyes on the wall making me crazy seeing them everywhere.

(At the Kiyotaka mansion)

Kemono: Welcome back my son! I know you'd come back alive. 

Ibuki: I have you to thank for dad.

Kemono: So how was meeting with Sarada and Sasuke Uchiha went?

Ibuki: So it was your plan to bring Sasuke there. 

Kemono: Of course. I planned everything my son.

Ibuki: I get it. I know and understood your plans. Except why would you set me up to marry Shana while I was gone.

Kemono: Hahahaha.. Did Sasuke plead you not to kill him because he will be your father-in-law? Damn I should have seen how an Uchiha begs.

Ibuki: He didn't beg. He just told me about it.

Kemono: That engagement was just to make Sasuke come here. I have been inviting him for many years since you were a baby. But that fool always ignored me, insulting our clan. He only went to Orochimaru once and didn't even talk to me like I was a piece of shit. Who the hell is Sasuke? What the hell are the Uchiha compared to the Kiyotaka?

Ibuki: What can you get by him coming here dad? 

Kemono: I got a DNA and blood sample. 

Ibuki: And Shana?

Kemono: Don't worry about her. I will cancel your engagement later. I want you to focus on getting stronger  until you are able to fight against the strongest ninja alive - Itachi Uchiha. His spies are in the white room. Hmpt. How dare he? 

Ibuki: His spies? So it's not only Haruto?

Kemono: I identified six of them are here together with Haruto, but they don't know I knew them already. They've been feeding information to Itachi and the world council for peace. 

Ibuki: And so?

Kemono: I bought all those on the council with money. They're getting their hands off us now. But I want to teach Itachi a lesson for infiltrating the white room. I want to prove a point to him that we are more powerful than the academy he created. We need to win this battle son.

Ibuki: Then invite Itachi here so he can witness a spar to death between his spies and our white room test subjects.

Kemono: Well I don't know if even with the lives of those spies at stake he'd come here and succumb to my invitation. He is more arrogant than Sasuke.

Ibuki: Well I have hostage someone he'd love to see.

Kemono: Who is that?

Ibuki: Sarada Uchiha. 

Kemono: Sarada? I thought you killed her already. 

Ibuki: I decided she's more useful alive than dead. Itachi came to the island and I heard Itachi said to Sasuke she is her daughter. I thought I'd hostage Sarada for our gain.

Kemono: That information is amusing son... So Sasuke isn't the real dad... It was Itachi.

Ibuki: That's what I heard before I left them there. I saw Itachi sealed Sasuke and his companions on the island of death. 

Kemono: Hahahaha.. That's great! The island has bombs beneath it. And those are scheduled to explode in four days. 

Ibuki: That means we won the first battle then.

Kemono: Hahahaha... You are indeed a pure Kiyotaka now Ibuki. Go and take a good rest my son. You deserve a short break while I plan out the invitation for Itachi to come.

(Inside Ibuki's bedroom)

Looking at Sarada sleeping on his bed. Ibuki's other self emerged.

Ibuki Kuroshi: Thanks for saving Sarada and covering up for her Ibuki. She is not safe with anyone but me. She can't be with the Uchiha even if Itachi is her dad.

Ibuki Kiyotaka: I didn't do that for you. All I care is the Kiyotaka wins. I will used anyone for my purpose including you Ibuki Kuroshi. Just remember, I am keeping you alive for my purpose.

Ibuki Kuroshi: I don't care what you do to me, as long as you keep Sarada alive. I just hope she'd heal from all these battle scars.
