Chapter 75 - 68: Meeting Itachi, 2 Years Later (1/2)

(2 Years Since he left Konoha)

It's been 2 years and Hikaru has grown stronger than ever. He cannot add stat points into his status but he can still learn a lot of things, like martial arts or the likes. He can now control all five elements perfectly, at least in this world.

He learned that he didn't have to kill the gods that govern the elements of this world, he just had to sign a contract with them. Of course, the contract only favors him and not them. The Minor Gods of this world are weaker than he thought. He could probably kill them all with ease, even if they try to group and kill him.

He is also now slightly stronger than all Major Gods combined. There are only 5 Major Gods in this world, and that is Kami, Shinigami, Yami, and the two Fate Sisters. He didn't bother counting the Minor Gods because there were too many of them, around a hundred or so.

Hikaru, right now, is contemplating whether he should bring the entire Akatsuki to his side. If he does that, there would be no war happening anytime soon. But if he doesn't, what will happen to Azumi? Should he let her take the burden of saving the entire world? Or should he just mess the plans of the gods?

Well, he also love to f.u.c.k with people. Especially Gods, yes.

Lately, his hair has been a bother to him. It's now so long that it reaches the ground. Granted that he still hasn't had his growth spurt but still, it's annoying. Maybe he should cut it a little bit? Yeah, that should do.

In front of Amegakure was Hikaru. He wore a plain white t-shirt and long black pants with a white coat over it. His long black hair seemed almost mystical as it floated slightly. He held his Black Lightning Samurai Sword before he cut his hair in half. He then collected the hair he cut off, since it is also a valuable material.

I've never said this before but his hair has also grown much harder and tougher along with his skin after he decided to put some stat points in his [Resistance] Stat. It's basically equal to titanite shards.

He put them all in a plastic bag before he put them inside his storage box.

”Now that's finished, I can now see this so-called, 'Pain'.” Hikaru said stoically as he strode onward to the village.

After entering the village with his mana umbrella on so that the rain won't touch him, he saw the state of the people in there. A lot of them were homeless, some had decent clothing but you can see depression within their eyes, but the children here in this village had it worst. He passed by a lot of them and he can see that they were being trained as soldiers of this village, I.e Shinobis.

But right now, his goal is to meet Pain and Konan, not solving other people's problems.

It rained heavily as Hikaru felt the depressing atmosphere in the village. If he can talk this out with Nagato, then maybe everything can be fixed. At least he hopes so.

He slowly walked in the middle of the village, trying to understand everything around him. As expected, there were no wealthy people here; only those who had powers could change at least something.

Suddenly, within the range of his chakra sense, he felt a Kage Level individual somewhere. He rushed towards the person as he felt that this chakra is quite familiar, similar to that of Sasuke.

When he arrived where that person was, he saw that he was in a candy store buying something.

It was Itachi Uchiha, he was wearing his Akatsuki robe. And as always, with that stoic face of his showing no emotions.

Hikaru saw that Itachi tensed slightly, and that's when he knew he was found out. But Hikaru was not even hiding his presence, so it was normal for a shinobi like Itachi to sense him. Where is his partner, by the way?

”So that's Itachi in real life? Gotta say, he's a lot cooler than I expected.” Hikaru muttered silently.

Itachi is a fairly tall man of fair complexion. He had onyx eyes, under which were long, pronounced tear-troughs. He had jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin; the ponytail and bangs grew longer over the years. His overall appearance is very similar to that of Sasuke.

Itachi left the store holding a bag of what seems to be Poki, a very delicious chocolate delicacy. There were around quite a few boxes, around 20 or so.

Itachi went to a dark alley, as if inviting Hikaru to come. So, he did. Hikaru followed Itachi until there were no more people in sight. Then Itachi turned around and said calmly, ”Whoever you are, show yourself.”

Hikaru immediately appeared in front of Itachi, and he reacted almost instantly.

'Fast! I couldn't even see which direction he came from.' Itachi thought, mildly shocked.

Hikaru stood in front of Itachi and bowed slightly before saying, ”Nice to meet you, Itachi-san. I know that I'm rushing this but can you lead to your leader? I need to have a talk with him.” Hikaru was respectful, he was watching his words.

”A child like you, to be this strong, is almost frightening. But sorry, if you want to meet the leader then you should get past me first.” Itachi said, he was serious now.

Hikaru only smiled and said, ”You think you can have the right to challenge someone such as I to a fight?”
