Tadaima!!
[That's Jap being used in the wrong context.]
Anyways, here's the 7th chapter.


Notes before Reading: In chapter 5, I introduced a fight between Bee and Itachi + Nagato. This chapter will be continuing/expanding that. It's night (if you look at my past chapters, night has been slowly coming), and thier still on the cliff with the forest. Although, they're not in the opening of the forest this time, they're within it.
Warning - I hate fights. Watching them is awesome, writing them is a different story. This is my first fight. Criticize me...but don't be harsh >.< ? I'm not great when it comes to knowing every detail/tech about a character, nor at making strategies [probably why I don't post much on VS threads].
Oh, and I never censored any...foul language here. I will eventually though, to be safe, but right now, words are uncensored.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 7: Fatal Fight​

Shinobi.
Swifter than the wind, lighter than a leaf. Unseen but for a shadow; and invincible as the darkest of nights. Faceless as the moon, yet as piercing as the stars.
Such can only describe ones who are truly ‘shinobi’.

Night had finally struck within the dark forest, when two figures, who were every bit a 'shinobi', began to launch an assault on the hachibi jinchuuriki.
Noiselessly, Uchiha Itachi leaped from his position, leaving his white haired companion. His fist ready to punch, he swerved for Killer Bee.
“Watch out!!” He called. But Killer Bee was already ahead. He blocked the punch with his hand and ducked as another swerved swiftly and cleverly for his unused wrist. Killer Bee then leaped behind to avoid a swift kick.

Guy’s pretty fast, He thought. Then there’s the other.

“Kuchiyose no jutsu!” A puff of smoke burst, and behind it, a huge, drill beaked bird and a giant multi headed dog, both bearing the rinnegan eyes stood glaring at its enemy. Nagato stood atop of the head of the great bird, his face surprised at his own summon. Bee stood transfixed, gaping at the large predators.

“Behind you!” Itachi appeared behind Bee in a flash.
“I’m on it!” Bee replied; quick as lightning, he turned around and whipped the samehada. Itachi dodged, his hands madly weaving seals. Suddenly, he opened his mouth. Tons of fire covered shuriken spewed out with great speed, heading towards Bee.
“Katon: Crimson Balsam Nails!”

A tentacle burst forth from in front of Bee, deflecting the shuriken. Feeling the extreme heat of the shuriken, he winced. Suddenly, another tentacle burst forth from the ground behind Itachi, wrapping him in its grip within mid air.
“Gotcha! Mother****a!”
But Itachi burst into crows.
“Don’t look into my eyes!!”
Shit! Genjutsu! Those super eyes...
He looked frantically around for Itachi. But instead he found a great big paw swerving to hit him.
Shit. Forgot about them.

Using samehada, he sliced through the paw, and jumped onto a tree branch that was behind and above the scene. He needed a better viewpoint of both enemies.

The crows began to converge and fly at him. He hesitated, staring blankly for a fraction of a second. Crows?!

Snap out of it! Scolded the ox within him. He felt a nudge from within by the beast. Like a desert mirage fading, the crows formed into deadly shuriken. Dropping samehada, Bee whipped out the swords stashed behind his back. In a flash, the seven swords were artistically held within the joints of his arms, his stomach, right leg, the right side of his neck, and in his mouth. There were deafening clangs as he deflected all the shuriken. He grinned triumphantly.

But then the giant bird flew towards him, opening its beak. He jumped aside.
Can this guy only do summons?

“Amaterasu!” The voice was clear and loud, from atop a tree. Itachi was staring straight at Bee, blood trickling from his right eye. Black flames shot towards Killer Bee. Again, he jumped aside, but he felt grazed by the extreme, undying heat. Dangerous.

“Shinra Tensei!!” A scream.

It felt like being pushed by a giant invisible hand, forced roughly away from where he was. Killer Bee was knocked off his feet.
Dammit.

Another set of black flames shot towards him; he just barely avoided it.
Time to get serious.

Bee felt the energy release from his body as his blades became infused with lightning chakra. He shot straight for Itachi. It was like a dance. Bee swung each his swords, twisting his arms and sidestepped elegantly, all while slashing at Itachi. Itachi blocked the first, second, third, and fourth swords; the fifth hit him straight in the chest. Injured, he bent over.

“Don’t get too excited," He breathed. "You can’t kill me in this state.”

Bee didn’t mind. He would attack both, one at a time, and slowly incapacitate them. Then he would make his escape, and warn the Shinobi Alliance.

“Shinra Tensei!!” Another powerful wave. Bee was knocked off his feet, but this time, he reacted faster. Getting back up and dropping his blades, a chakra cloak began to coat and bubble around his figure. Slowly, it manifested; becoming a huge, eight tailed ox. A sturdy, pale skeleton traced the Ox. He ran towards Nagato, aiming for a lariat.

“It’s a good thing I kept my cool! Not so fast, you damn fool!”

The lariat hit Nagato full in the upper chest. But he seemed unaffected. Instead, Bee’s arm began to feel weak; his energy seemed to seep out of him, as though a vacuum was sucking in his chakra.
He’s sucking my chakra!

Bee forcefully pulled away and wobbled backwards. He looked at his opponent.

Nagato no longer took the appearance of an old man. Nagato’s hair was a flaming red, his face young and handsome. His body became full with life, his cheeks were no longer hollow.

“Be careful!” He scolded Bee, looking past him.

All of a sudden, Bee felt intense, white hot pain slashing mercilessly at his arm. He looked for the source, and found the littlest yet blackest of all flames snaking up his wrist.
Big mistake.
He was sweating. A lot. His vision slowly began to haze.
Shit...

*​

“Y-you’re dead...you died!!”
The Uchiha brothers looked at one another in the eye; one looked extremely frightened, the other calm and at peace. They stood across from each other, far apart, within the place that resembled Konoha in daylight. Uchiha Itachi took his eyes off his little brother and glanced carefully around at his surroundings. The wind gently blew, and leaves danced around within it. It ruffled Itachi’s loose t-shirt and pants, and caused his long, bound hair to flutter.
He looked back at Sasuke.
“Don’t worry. If I’m here, then it must mean I have died.”
Their eyes met; Itachi’s unspoken words hung coldly between them.
I died by your hands. But under my conditions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

And? I don't think I did great this chapter. It was also in a sort of rush. >.>'
Bee's not dead yet. I have a few more plans for him. For his character benefit, anyway.
I don't why, but Itachi is fun to describe. [In the end part]
I realized that Bee keeps his swords now in Samehada, not on his back. My mistake.
Oh, I guess the forum automatically censors...one word?
I tried posting in a slightly different format. I spaced out some paragraphs/lines, instead of keeping the entire thing together. Is this better? I don't really like it, but I understand that it makes it better to read. I may only do this for fights. If it doesn't make a difference, tell me. I want to change it back. >.>"

This is what got me...this is what made this chapter fantastic to me.

You're focus was on Edo Itachi and Nagato vs. Bee. You were advancing the plot in order to get back to a point where you are truely strong in your writting (the emotional factor and inter workings of the characters). Despite battles not being your thing, you portray very good battle scenes in your chapters. Very clear and understandable, and well stratigically organized.

That last part though. That last part in that last paragraph where I quoted was that piece was your signature on this chapter. You placed your signature with that onto your chapter, to prove that it was you. It was very strong and it quickly brought us back to the main focus of your story, but you did it well enough that it didn't seem rushed, it actually felt correctly placed. My favorite part though was that part where Itachi said he died by Sasuke's hands but on his conditions. To me that was a very powerful sentiment...and at the same time I'm sort of seeing it like this

Sasuke: I killed you, you're supposed to be dead

Itachi: Shit, like you could've killed me if I didn't want to die for you. You can't touch me yet little boy.

Lol. But on the real that was my favorite part, that one little phrase. It feels like something that Itachi would say...however I don't think he would come out and directly say it like that, but either way I still liked it Great job as usual

Bolded: lol.
Yes, this was my favorite line to write, and yeah, it felt like my style. That's why the words were unspoken; your right, Itachi wouldn't outright say that.
I don't remember what I was doing, but I didn't have a paper and pen with me when I thought of that line. But I knew it was gold. So, I memorized it, engraved it into my head, and whenever I thought about this chapter, I would repeat it in my head. I couldn't resist using that.
One thing I realized about my battle; I didn't use Bee's TBB. But I could in the future, if he's not too exhausted.

Bee has a lot of chakra, utilize that.

When's Chapter 8?
Um. Good question. >__>
I've written the rough draft of it (the skeleton). I was planning to type it up (and post it) either on Friday, or on the upcoming weekend.
I'm not making any promises though.​
