Thinking that this situation may be a bit to much you quickly shunshin as quickly as you can while doing a set of hand seals. You continue to run as you watch flames begin to consume everything behind you. Your eyes open wide as you see them catching up, you're definitely not fast enough to not get burned. "Flashbang!" you exclaim seeing that he was constantly following you and thinking that this technique may be another eye technique. As Itachi uses his hand to cover his left eye you quickly reach and grab a Quickjump kunai. "Quickjump!" you exclaim focusing on the dojo kunai and you watch as Itachi vanishes
Your vision focuses again and you're in the dojo panting. You quickly look down and see that your flak jacket's burning with the black flames. "Fuck!" you exclaim as you throw off the jacket, which thankfully was unzipped thanks to your style of fashion, and quickly put it on the ground away from you
"What's going on?" you hear Mithos exclaim as he races over
"I was in a fight, these are black hell flames or something!" you say watching as the flames begin to consume your jacket
"Can't you put them out?"
"I don't know it's hell fire, I've never heard of ways to stop hell fire just regular fire!"
"Well what if it burns this dojo down?"
"Shit..."
"Ray get back," you hear Jagar as he quickly runs in, "What happened?"
"I got in a fight with Itachi Uchiha when I was looking for you? He was using some Amaterasu technique and I wasn't able to get away so I tried blinding him and running away but it looks like he managed to get me some and their still spreading," you blurt out quickly
"Shit, they'll continue to spread until the user puts it out from what I've heard," Jagar said
"Seriously?" Mithos said staring
"Whose he?" Jagar asked, "Anyways sealing arts may the be only way to do this?"
"No time. Jagar do you know any form of sealing jutsu because I know some but I may not be able to do this alone," you say reaching for your pack which was on the ground and pulling out a large piece of paper and pen
"Some, but only in jutsu form not really the art of making seals, though I do remember a sign for sealing fire," Jagar said beginning to sketch stuff with a twig
"And I know a basic jutsu sealing technique, maybe the two together..."
"Let's try it," Jagar said as you and him quickly begin to draw on the paper, "There let's try it." Jagar moved the paper over to your burning flak jacket which was now spreading to the ground around it, which had mossy wood, mossy wood which was highly flammable. Jagar placed his hands on the seal which began to glow and quickly formed a small vacum which sucked up all the black flames. Jagar walked over and picked up your charred jacket and threw it to you. "I'm sure you can get a new one later, you're lucky you got that off that would've probably easily spread all over you."
"What are we doing about the seal?" you say folding it up
"Hold onto it for now, could come in handy later if you wanna burn someone to death," Jagar laughed then turning to Mithos, "Explain?"
"Well..." you say as you begin to tell the story of what happened since you and Jagar parted ways. "And you?"
"It's basically as Itachi told you, I found him, tried to call Brago but it didn't work and Itachi found me. We fought, I was overwhelmed like you were, so I managed to use my lizards to get away, though I may have lost one thanks to those flames, but then I came back here," Jagar said, "So what now? And what do we do with Mithos?"
"I'd like to tag along with you guys since I have no recollection of my major memories but I can understand if you don't want me going back to your village with you and then all I ask is you leave me somewhere safe," Mithos said in his quaint voice that never seemed to be asking for too much
"That's a good point but then again the Desians are chasing him too," Jagar said biting his lip
A: Take Mithos back to Suna with you B: Leave Mithos somewhere safe on the way back
1: Rest; then return to Suna by land 2: Rest; return to Suna by Quickjump 3: Don't rest; return by land 4: Don't rest; return via Quickjump 5: Rest; then go check out Tani 6: Don't rest; go check out Tani
(pick a letter and number)

Since that battle's over I'm surprised you guys didn't try forms of sound genjutsu, it's never been used against a Sharingan and I'd think the ones that you don't see anything you'd be able to see. Things like Oracular Spectacular and what not are straight effects on the ear and would probably be harder on the Sharingan in general but that's at least how I see it, would've been interesting but whatevs but hey you may fight Itachi again in the future
But you guys did fair rather well like keeping up with pacing and what not, I tried to make it somewhat obvious that though Itachi was superior in things such as speed and taijutsu Ray was still able to keep up. And yes Itachi didn't use that many genjutsu because Ray is a genjutsu expert as well and I don't think genjutsu GG would work on another genjutsu user, on that note if the battle had continued Itachi would've unleashed some. That and if you guys hadn't refrained from using genjutsu I would've done a genjutsu off kind of thing ala Sasuke vs Itachi. But then again it's good you guys didn't stay for Tsukuyomi *evil grin*
On a side note you guys do get a nice little reward for doing well enough, though it could've been better if the fight had continued but hey make do right. So yeah those are my notes on the Itachi fight, hate, comment, whatever as you like
***NEW TOOL*** Hell Kunai x1 (0) Offensive; A rank Once and only once you can throw a kunai with the Amaretasu seal placed on it. Anything that touches the kunai (person, animal, ground, kunai, building) will immediately have the hell fires of Amaretasu begin to spread on it. Requires no chakra! But it can ONLY be used once since it's just on one tag, use carefully! And know that if you try to use it cheapily like in the beginning of a major boss fight it probably will fail so use wisely

Oh I thought of using Oracular Spectacular because the genjutsu is so short in duration the possibility of it being reversed is low, but the churn seemed safer and messing up Itachi's vision seemed like the best idea. All the other genjutsus I wouldn't use unless it's B-rank or lower and can be double reversed because they all effect the senses and can be reversed. That heaven and earth mirror reversal effects all the sensory genjutsu, not just sight.

Smart though Reversal can only really reverse C rank which is what it is if I remember correctly, the only reason it worked on Churn, B rank, was for the fact it was your genjutsu and you know how it works, if that makes sense
And due note I updated the end of the post as well as my last little message

Can we leave Mithos in Tortopia? Huh, I thought you stated it reversed B-ranks, I remember then responding that it was too broken to be considered a C-rank jutsu because of that. Of course it should be a C-rank jutsu if it only reversed C-ranks. Also, I doubt Itachi would spam Amatersu/Tsukuyomi on single jounins that are not as well known as Kakashi. And we're much less famous then Jiraiya. Nice kunai btw

The only reason Luke used Sensory Deadaptation on Ray because they weren't in real life, it's a move that can easily take most people out especially if their already under some other genjutsu that cause them to stumble around Electric Chair is significantly stronger than Shock Therapy, it's also more useful because stacking requires a much longer chain of hand seals compared to Shock Therapy, even if Shock Therapy can be one handed. Trust me I wouldn't have given it to you if it wasn't worth having. The difference is the strength and the execution speed really Again with KC it's similar but has its own uses, like if an opponent is charging and you use it to throw them off and unleash your own combo that further making it that much harder for them to break out of it Reversal is C rank for a reason, and I totally forgot to include that it only works on most B rank and under while not working on A and higherOk I misremembered a bit, this was the response to me saying the reversal was too useful to be considered a C-rank not the other way around. But the point is made.

A4, leave a quickjump at the dojo, ask Mithos to heal chakra afterwards, also give a quickjump to Jagar
Tani is not part of the current mission, though if Gaara asks us to go back for them we can go through another quickjump.

You quickly put another Quickjump seal on the ground before turning back to Jagar and Mithos. "Mithos you should come with us, it'll be safer that way and we can protect back you in Suna," you say looking to Jagar who nods in approval, "Anyways could you do that healing thing to me again, I'm low on chakra and if I'm back to full strength I can take us all back to Suna immediately. Oh and Jagar would you mind carryign this Quickjump seal on you, that way if I ever need to warp to you I can, I forgot to give you one earlier."
"Yeah sure," Jagar said taking the seal adn putting it in a pocket of his flak jacket
"I'll heal you Ray but just know it's not good for me to continuously be healing people, my sister used to say there could be minor side effects if I do it multiple times in a day or even a week, the effects probably aren't that major if you space my healing out. Plus it drains me too," Mithos said walking up to you and doing a set of hand seals then placing his hands on you, "Revitalize..."
You watched as Mithos' body gave off a slight glow which transfered to your body. You exhaled and felt the amazing power rush over you as your chakra returned quickly and all your wounds and pains from your battle with Itachi. Except this time you felt a little different, not physically but mentally like a headache or something you just couldn't place your finger on what was going on. What was this power? "Let's get going," you say as Jagar and Mithos each grabbed one of your wrists and you pulled out a Quickjump kunai, "Back to Suna, Quickjump!"
You quickly felt the tug as the dojo quickly disappeared and a few seconds later your room came into focus. You panted being worn out from carrying two other people for a rather long distance. "Where are we?" Mithos asked looking around
"My house," you pant sitting down on your bed, "Let's go downstairs and see if my mom's home." You say leading all of them downstairs. As you search you find a note saying that Estella would be back tomorrow morning. "So should we go report?" you ask trying to be hospitable and getting some drinks for your guests
Jagar looked up at the clock hanging over the fridge and sighed, "Julius might kill you if you try to report now, it's nine-thirty, he's probably leaving his office for the bar right now. Only S rank and missions and up generally require special reports at night. We'll do it first thing in the morning. Anyways would you mind keeping Mithos here at least for tonight?" Jagar said drinking the water you gave him
"Not a problem we have a spare bedroom," you say as Mithos nods
"Alright then I'm off, see you two in the morning," Jagar said disappearing in a puff of smoke
"Mithos you can go shower off and I'll get your bed set up," you say leading him upstairs. With that Mithos showered, you set up his bedroom, you got changed yourself, the two of you ate a quiet late dinner, then parted ways. Even with Mithos' healing fatigue from the past couple days was quickly catching up and you definitely wanted to rest after such a long mission. And unsurprisingly you fell asleep like a rock...
...but you quickly became consumed in a strange dream that was the most life like dream of your life. You quickly came into a blank space like when you were in the Scroll with your dad, but then it got even weirder Luke suddenly appeared and began to talk to you. "Dad? You're in my dreams? Or what is this? Are we back in the Scroll?" you ask
"No we're in your dream, unbalanced forces in your mind have caused this to happen and your conscious has taken the form of well me," Luke said
"So do you actually know everythign my dad knows?" you ask sitting cross legged on the ground
"No, I'm you, your mind personified, weird that it's not you but I guess it's good taht it's your father," Luke said with a chuckle that sounded more like your chuckle than Luke's
"So what are these unbalanced forces?" you ask
"Just something that needs to be gotten out of the way, that you need to decide now, of course this choice can always be changed but still," Luke said snapping as a star appeared under you and four figures appeared with one at each point, one point being left open
"What the fuck?" you say looking around at the people who had appeared on each point of the large star
"You need to pick which path you'll continue on from now on. You've been on the path of the good Suna ninja but your mind has wavered and you've opened up to a lot of things and these are the choices placed in front of you," Luke said, "Brago there represents the Followers of Light, Magnius the Desians, Itachi is Akatsuki, Gaara the Suna ninja, and the final path is your own path the loner who walks alone."
"Wait so you're saying I'm not loyal to Suna anymore?"
"No, I'm saying that something has lead you to be brought to this crossroad in your life, it's natural but never this large at once which is weird, maybe due to the mission you were on where you encountered these forces all at once. The point is you know if you want to you can seek out any of these forces and join their ranks, maybe not at the top but each force will still be a different path one with completely different possibilities than the other. Like I said you can change your mind in the future but your mind will not be at rest until you make a decision now."
"So you're saying I have a choice between the Followers, Desians, Akatsuki, staying in Suna, or just going off alone?"
"That's correct, and you have the means of easily finding and getting away from Suna if you so wish merely by Quickjumping away. The choice is yours now pick."
A: Followers B: Desians C: Akatsuki D: Suna E: Loner

Not yet, we've advanced alot in suna in terms of rank so would be a shame to lose that but then again most cyoa's are based around descions in that respective village so going our own way or another group would be something new. Whats your thoughtd?

"Is this even a question," you say walking over to Gaara causing all the figures to disappear, "My family, friends, everyone's in Suna. Sure I may have had thoughts about the others but everything's here in Suna and I will continue to grow here in Suna."
"Fair enough," Luke said, "You've settled the doubts in your subconscious, for now..." With that you were thrown out of the space and slowly sank into the depths of sleep, finally being able to rest like you so deserved...
***
In the morning you made your way downstairs, yawning the dreams of the previous night leaving your thoughts as the thoughts of the day ahead started to kick in. It's not until you got to the living room that you thought about Mithos and then heard conversation. But Mithos was the only other person home...unless...You make your way to the kitchen and see your mother sitting on a stool eating pancakes and drinking coffee as Mithos stood behind the stove
"Ray honey, you're home. And you brought a friend, a friend who can cook, and make chocolate chip pancakes!" Estella said shoving another large slice in her mouth
"Remember that whole thing, about not talking with your mouth full you taught me when I was four, yeah still applies," you say pulling up a stool, "So Mithos you made breakfast?"
"I thought it's the least I could do for rescuing me and letting me stay in your house," Mithos said putting a plate in front of you, "I did help myself to your pantry but I managed to find things to make them from scratch."
"Wom ratch woo!" Estella said before swallowing her mouthful, "I got home to the smell of cooking, and saw a blonde girl in the kitchen and got slightly scared, then I saw it wasn't a girl and attacked, turned out it was Mithos. He explained everything you did on your mission and everything you went through, fighting Itachi Uchiha, impressive."
"Yes and Ms. Alarn said that I could crash here for a while too since you have the spare room and I agreed to help with some cooking and cleaning around the house since you two are so busy with your ninja work," Mithos said with a small smile
"It's like the son I never had," Estella teased elbowing you
You smile softly and eat a pancake quickly. "Well I'm kind of late and need to get to Julius' offer to report to Julius and see what else I'm doing so I need to go," you say grabbing your completely burned flak jacket
"Ray let me take that the tailor or something for you, it's completely destroyed adn won't be able to protect you on any mission like that," Mithos said taking the jacket from you, "And here let me make you a quick to-go plate."
"Thanks Mithos, you're too kind," you say not being used to this much kindness in your household. After a quick wait you quickly race out of your house with to-go box in hand. You make it down to Julius' office in record time and see both Julius, Jagar, and Gaara waiting for you inside. "Damn I'm late," you say setting your lunchbox on the brand new desk that has been put in on a corner of the room for you
"No, just on time," Julius said with a smile, "The Kazekage is joining us because he's concerned with the Desian situation and Jagar happened to mention last night when I saw him that you encountered them."
"Yes, yes we did," you say getting the chair from your desk and bringing it over, "Thanks for the desk."
"No problem," Julius said, "Anyways you were in charge of the mission, report."
A: Report everything B: Report everything; leave out minor details such as some private dealings with Brago C: Report everything; leave out Brago as a whole and make some stuff up D: Report just about the Desians

And so you spent the better part of the next thirty minutes giving a quick report on your mission from your Quickjump in Konoha all the way until your final Quickjump back to Suna. You made sure to include the details on the information you'd gained not only on the Desians but the Followers of Light and even Mithos' powers and that you were keeping him at your house. By the end of the report you were almost exhausted. "Any questions?" you ask
"So Mithos doesn't remember everything about his past except some minor details?" Julius asks
"Yes pretty much," you respond
"And why Akatsuki was in the Land of Waves is a mystery?" Gaara says speaking up for the first time
"Not to me. Jagar?"
"No, and as far as I know the Land of Waves has no bijuu in its possession so there's no reason for Akatsuki to be there, so maybe it was personal," Jagar says, "And I've got nothing to add, Ray did a better job then I could reporting."
"And this Brago, he told you to go to the Land of Whirlpools when you felt ready? It's to early to do anything as of yet but I will consider assembling an espionage team to go there and see if there's anything worth noting," Gaara said, "Even with the hassle that the Followers have been, I believe that the Desians are a bigger threat, they've sprung up seemingly overnight with attacks on pretty much all of the small villages that line the major countries, and I don't think this should go unchecked, and if you're right Ray we need to seek out these Five Grand Cardinals."
"I'm not sure if Brago killed Magnius or not, we left before we could find out, I didn't see Magnius fighting but from what I've seen from Brago he truly is a challenging opponent which would say a lot seeing as he wanted to fight Magnius or Itachi, meaning we have an idea of Magnius' level which probably reflects the other Five Grand Cardinals," you say as everyone in the room nods
"Jagar, get word to the Jounin Council, I want a war meeting set up for tomorrow at noon," Gaara said maintaining his solemn look
"Lord Kazekage, war? The Jounin Council will not completely favor that, we're not even at war with Iwagakure it's just various skirmishes with both sides constantly fighting each other but nothing has happened on a major scale, what do you plan with this war," Jagar said
"These Desians clearly have a rather large man power especially considering there's five leaders each who was able to take out one small village almost overnight, their combined power is that if not more that we have at our disposal so I believe a war council may be necessary. I know the Council still doesn't favor me but they'll just have to listen," Gaara said then turning to you, "What do you make of this Ray?"
A: Agree on a war movement, ask to join in on the meeting B: Agree on a war movement, stay out of the meeting C: Disagree on a war movement D: Say it's not your place to speak

"I'm with the Kazekage on this one, the Desians are moving fast and need to be stopped. I'd also inquire to join this war council meeting, I know it's only the Jounin Council but still I've got the most experience in dealing with them and know some about them," you say as Gaara nods
"Of course and as the next HOND it's crucial you do see how acts of war are undertaken since you may be leading strategies in the future. Right Julius?" Gaara says shifting his gaze to Julius
"He's right in fact damn the Council you need to be there seeing as you're my replacement," Julius said
"I guess I'll go alert the Council for a meeting tomorrow, I'll just excuse myself then," Jagar said getting up
"I need to be going as well then," Gaara said getting up, "Julius see to it that we have detailed maps of each of the invaded countries."
"Of course Lord Kazekage," Julius said as Gaara left, "Well you'd think today's duties would be hectic but with the upcoming meeting I don't think we have that much work especially split between us. I'll leave it up to you to get the maps, compile a report on paper of the information on Desians, and get the figures on how many ninja chunin level and higher would be capable in a war effort, we're going to need to aid teh Kazekage in convincing the Jounin Council."
"Right away," you say going to your desk and starting on the report. It's not until you spend almost an hour doing a solid report with bullets and what not of what you found out that Julius told you to make copies of everything so that each person in the meeting would have one and since this was a war meeting there would be quite a handful of important people there. Julius then taught you a technique which was used to copy the inscription on papers that didn't have powers, meaning it wouldn't work on any of yoru fuinjutsu sadly. From there you got all the figures that Julius wanted as well as the maps which took some searching to find just the right ones. "I think we're good on my part," you say getting up
"Alright, just leave it on your desk the assistants will come and wrap everything up all nice and cute for everyone in the meeting tomorrow. You're dismissed for the day if you like," Julius said waving you off
A: Ask to help with whatever he's doing B: Take the rest of the day off and go train C: Take the rest of the day off and go relax D: Go hang out with _____

"Thanks," you say getting up and grabbing your things. You quickly make your way outside and to one of the training grounds. You had decided it was time you tried to level up your B ranked jutsu so you could use them with one hand
You make your way to the training grounds and begin to go over the hand seals of all your C and D ranked jutsu with both hands. You'd mastered them pretty well so far and you think you were growing closer to being able to do two C rank jutsu at once though your chakra control and mental levels weren't quite tuned up enough to pull that off, seeing as putting two genjutsu was harder to do than any ninjutsu you could imagine. You sigh thinking of all your one handed seal shortcuts that you use for your C and D rank jutsu and how you can adapt them to your B rank
After going over the C and D rank jutsu you quickly go over every B rank jutsu you have, going over all the hand seal sets multiple times until your precision with them was almost perfect. You'd done a one handed seal for some of the B ranks you had before but they were long, complex, and slow. You begin to work on all the one handed shortcuts you'd learned or seen throughout your days, the process was tedious enough seeing as you had to experiment with chakra outputting
By the time the sun was long gone you had a huge headache, low chakra, and made some progress. The progress was worthwhile, maybe not in a high ranked battle, but you still made progress. In the end the progress was that you could use all your B ranked jutsu with one hand though it took a little less than half as long to do them then it took with two hands, so it was decent in battle especially if you ever lost a hand, foreshadowing?, or if you just needed to use one handed seals to keep your second hand free. You lay down on the ground and exhale deeply as you stare at the stars above
"Working hard doing nothing I see?" Jamie said leaning over you
"I've actually been working all day unlike someone," you say with a grin
"Mind if I join you?" she says laying down
"Didn't even wait for an answer now did you? What's up?"
"Not much enjoying some alone time is all, just took my sister for dinner and was going to go get some ice cream with her but we saw you over there lost in the world of your hands."
"Hey Ray," you heard Jamie's little sister say as she walked over
"Hey Lily," you say as she lays down next to Jamie
"You seen Axel lately?" you ask
"Yeah we actually ate lunch yesterday. So I hear you're helping out with the Kazekage's war effort against those Desians or whatever?" Jamie said
"Isn't that information classified as of now?" you ask with a witty tone
"Well you just kind of confirmed it, but we can talk more later if you want," Jamie said hopping up, "Come on Lily ice cream time."
"Wanna come Ray?" Lily asked as she got up brushing grass off her dress, her and Lily were almost twins except Lily had that young girl cuteness while Jamie had that young woman...appeal...
A: Go with them B: Track down Axel C: Go see Julius D: Go home
