An unexpected outcome

Chapter 4: A new start.

As Itachi was thinking of what his future held for him, he thought about what happened yesterday.

"Why was I that open with Twilight, I barely knew her, and yet, I showed her my Sharingan, why the hell would I do that? This hast to be a side effect of being a pony, but, if I am a pony, does that mean my diet changes to one of a herbivore?" Itachi thought to himself.

During the party, Itachi was able to use his Sharingan to copy, the jutsu, (Or magic), of levitation, instead of using hand signs, it was more of using your thoughts to move things. Itachi practiced using levitation in the early morning, and like everything, he was able to pick up the skill, like everything he learned.

Also not having clothing, at first was hard to take in, but, he got over that fact when he was in the forest. Whatever changed about him, made it so he was not exposed and Itachi got over that fact a bit faster than normal.

"Though wearing my old Akatsuki cloak would be nice, maybe if I save enough... Bits, I can ask the one named Rarity to make me one. This time without the red clouds, I never like that part," Itachi said to no one.

There was a knock at the door, he turned around to face it.

"Come in," Itachi called out.

The door was opened and twilight walked in.

"I was just wondering if you would like to join us for breakfast before we start the day?" Twilight asked.

"Alright, that sounds nice," Itachi answered.

The two made their way downstairs to the dining room, there spike was making pancakes.

"I was wondering when you two were going to come down, I got a good amount of pancakes ready," Spike said.

~~Twenty Minutes Later~~

"Well, since you are going to work here, it would be good if you learned where each book goes," Twilight stated.

"That makes sense," Itachi said.

"Great, it should only take... Three hours," Twilight replied with a happy tone.

"Why do I have the feeling that I made a mistake working here," Itachi thought to himself.

During the time Twilight was showing Itachi where each book went, he memorized it all with his Sharingan, It didn't take that long for the training to turn into a whole reshelving experience. it lasted three more hours than it was, Twilight found the whole thing to be therapeutic, while Itachi felt like he could fall to the ground out of exhaustion. It was true he could use magic now, but, since it was the first time using this new form of chakra, he was not ready for the backlash. He thought about what the differences were between magic and chakra.

"Can I even water walk? Or tree walk?" Itachi thought to himself.

"Well, that was refreshing, what did you think?" Twilight asked interested.

"Well, it was something I would say I would not want to do again soon," Itachi answered a bit tired.

"Oh come on it wasn't that bad," Twilight stated.

"Well, it might be that way for you, but, I am still getting used to being a librarian," Itachi replied.

"Ok, I guess that makes sense, well, it's a good thing we are finished," Twilight stated.

"Is there anything else to do?" Itachi asked.

"Well, we just wait and see if somepony comes in," Twilight answered.

~~Meanwhile on earth.~~

"What do you mean his body disappeared?" Sasuke asked angered.

Obito had told Sasuke the truth about his clan's massacre, and how Hiruzen ordered the whole thing. It would not be far from the truth to say when he became pissed that his brother was forced to do that. His hatred for the leaf grew to, powerful levels, unlike before, now he wanted its destruction.

Sasuke also thought that Itachi must have gone through countless nightmares of what he did.

"Whoever took his body left his eyes behind for you, so I implanted them into you, allowing you to gain the legendary eternal mangekyou Sharingan. Only one other has that," Obito stated.

"Wait what?! Who would just do that? They had a powerful kekkei Genkai in their hands," Sasuke asked shocked that someone would just give up such power.

"Well, whoever it was, seems to have had powerful jutsu already," Obito answered.

"Something is not right, I know even if someone would have a powerful jutsu, would still try to get their hands on the Sharingan," Sasuke pointed out.

"Yes, that part is confusing to me as well," Obito agreed.

"So what are we going to do?" Sasuke asked.

"We catch the rest of the jinchuuriki, fulfill our goals, and bring the shinobi to peace," Obito answered with a smile, (But couldn't be seen due to wearing a mask).

"Who do we go after?" Sasuke asked.

"So, are you going to join the Akatsuki?" Obito asked interested.

"Yes, I will," Sasuke answered with steel.

"Well then, you need to go after Killer Bee, he has the eight-tailed beast," Obito answered.

"Good, soon, I will go after you Naruto, and I will avenge you Itachi," Sasuke said with a determined look.

~~Back on Equis.~~

Itachi sneezed out of nowhere, Twilight turned in confusion.

"Are you ok? Is it allergies?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, where I am from it is said if you sneezed out of nowhere someone is talking about you," Itachi answered.

"That is odd, I have never heard of that before," Twilight said confused.

"Well, there are going to be things from far lands, that make no sense," Itachi pointed out.

"I guess you are right," Twilight responded.

During the day some ponies would come to the library to read, check out books, or on one occasion buy a book. During the time he was not helping ponies, Itachi read about the land, he was right, this land hasn't seen real brutal war in at least over 1000 years. And he learned about the sisters, he was interested in Luna and how she controlled the dream realm.

"So, her name is Luna, she had an aura that felt like she was stronger with jutsu, maybe stronger than me. If Orochimaru were here, he would try to get that kind of power, or try to steal one of the princess's bodies," Itachi thought to himself.

That thought sent shivers down his spine, it was something that could spell doomsday for this world, and earth. He was grateful that would never happen, He saw some books that caught his eye, and after taking some down, he read one of the covers.

"Daring do and the quest for the sapphire stone? I have never read any book like this, but, I didn't read a lot of personal books, I guess it wouldn't hurt if I tried it," Itachi thought interested.

~~An Unknown Amount Of Time Later~~

"Well, it is close to closing time," Twilight said.

Itachi was confused about what she meant, he looked out of one of the windows and saw that the sun was starting to set.

"Did I lose myself in reading?" Itachi asked himself shocked that he allowed himself to become vulnerable.

"It does seem you did, don't worry, the ponies who came in wanted to talk with me. And I see you like the same book series, I do, Daring do... So what do you think of it?" Twilight asked interested.

"Well, it was good, I might read the rest later, but, I don't think I will be a big fan," Itachi answered.

"It is still a good read, but, I think Spike is almost done with dinner," Twilight implied.

The two walked upstairs, to find Spike was halfway in making stew.

"Hey, Twilight, Itachi, I am almost finished with dinner," Spike called out.

"I see you are making stew," Twilight said with a happy tone.

"Itachi, ever had vegetable stew?" Spike asked interested.

"Yes, I have," Itachi answered.

"Well, I do hope you like this one, I do make a mean vegetable stew," Spike stated.

~~One Hour Later~~

Itachi was thinking of his mission, he was never told what the objective was of his quest.

"Is it to just live here? No, there has to be something else, did something else from my world come to this place?" Itachi asked himself.

Getting in the bed he thought if he would see Luna again, Itachi once again let himself fall into the realm of dreams.

Itachi noticed instead of being in the nightmare, or the dream, like yesterday, he was in a starry space that was his subconscious. He looked around to find that he was right, Luna was walking over to talk with Itachi.

"I see nothing has changed with you Itachi," Luna said with a smile.

"Well, that is somewhat true," Itachi replied.

"What does thow mean?" Luna asked a bit confused.

"I'll tell you later," Itachi answered.

Luna wanted to know what the mysterious unicorn meant by that but, she would not force him to say, Luna didn't want anypony to think she was Nightmaremoon again.

"It is nice that he trusts me enough to not try and kick me out, we might think of going to ponyville to meet him in the real world," Luna thought with a smile.

After a couple of hours of talking, Luna had felt a disturbance in the dream realm, she got up to go find it.

"Is something wrong?" Itachi asked confused.

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with," Luna answered with a small hint of worry.

Itachi didn't need any jutsu to tell that something was wrong, he didn't press for more information, she was one of the only people who didn't judge him. Luna left his dream leaving the unicorn alone to think of what tomorrow will bring.

The morning was the same as the previous one was, eat breakfast and get the library ready for ponies to walk into and read, check in books or check out books.

Thanks to Itachi's Sharingan, it helped with memorizing where every book went.

"Well since it is the weekend, we won't be getting as many ponies during this time, most will be spending time with their families," Twilight stated.

"Is there a lake somewhere nearby?" Itachi asked interested.

"Yeah, are you planning on reading by the water?" Twilight asked more interested.

"No, I am just planning on... Practicing my magic," Itachi answered.

"Oh, do you mind if I come?" Twilight asked with excitement.

"Sorry, not this time, maybe later, I need to make sure that my magic is fine," Itachi answered with a smile.

After saying that he remembered the many times Sasuke would ask if he could train him. And at least almost every time he had to say no due to being called by the ombu black ops for a mission on killing a target.

"Oh, well, ok, I do hope we can later," Twilight said a bit saddened.

"I promise you can come the next time I am going to train," Itachi stated.

"I'll keep you to that," Twilight said in a joking manner.

"I can take you to the lake," Spike said.

"Alright lead the way," Itachi replied.

"Hey, spike once you show him where the lake is, come back," Twilight said.

The two walked across town and to the lake, once there, Itachi gave his thanks and watched as the dragon left. Once alone, Itachi made his way closer to the water, he started to focus his chakra on the bottom of his hooves, once he felt like it was good enough he made his way to the water. It was difficult at first, but, after a couple of seconds, he got the hang of walking on water again.

After getting off the water, he faced it again.

"Alright, let's try ninjutsu, but, how... Maybe instead of making the hand signs with my arms, I can try making them with my mind," Itachi said to himself.

He focused on what the signs were, unknown to him his horn was glowing and after a second he used a fireball jutsu.

Unknown to Itachi he was being watched, in the distance watching the whole thing was Twilight using binoculars. It would be on the mark if you guessed she was shocked. She just watched a pony breathe fire like a dragon, and walk on water as if it was not water. The logical part of her mind was screaming, how that was impossible. The reasonable part of her mind was trying to come up with an answer that sounded good to be believable. And the part that wanted to learn was telling the other two to shut up so they could think.

Spike was with Twilight, he was going to protest on watching Itachi like a stocker, until he saw the fireball.

"Is it possible that he could have been taught at Princess Celestia's school?" Spike asked with shock.

"I don't know, it could also be a test that Princess Celestia sent to me to solve," Twilight answered.

"I don't know, wouldn't she have sent something?" Spike questioned confused.

"Wait, he's doing something again," Twilight pointed out.

The two started to watch the unicorn again, his magic was glowing and in a second, a cloud of smoke appeared out of nowhere once the cloud disappeared there were ten exact copies of himself. All that magic casting reminded Twilight of Trixie, but this time if Itachi (Wich he would never do), started to brag of his abilities he could back them up with proof.

"Is that the reason why he didn't want anypony to watch him during his training?" Twilight asked herself.

All but one of the clones disappeared in a cloud of smoke, the last one did the same thing but, instead of disappearing, it turned into a different creature. It looked to be as tall as Luna,

The creature was bipedal, its face was flat, and was wearing a weird type of strange clothing, wrapped around the waist was a thick purple rope with a sword on the back. It crouched down to get a closer look at Itachi, Twilight was not sure what to expect but was shocked at the look Itachi was giving.

Itachi was looking in the eyes of his brother Sasuke, as he looked before the battle, he felt so many emotions rushing through his body, the one that was the largest was regret for what happened. As the clone dispersed Itachi could feel tears fall down his face, knowing even if someone were to try to even revive him it would not work. Even after death, he will never see Sasuke or the good man Itachi knew he would become.

"No point in crying, it can't fix anything of my past," Itachi said to no one.

As the cloud that was the clone dispursed he wiped away the tears and got ready to see what else he could do with his ninjutsu, also so he didn't think of his past.

Twilight was in wonder at the skills Itachi was using, she knew he was hiding something, she wanted to ask so bad. But, if she was patient Itachi might trust her to tell her what is going on.

"Well, let's hope he can trust me that much, cause I do care about him," Twilight thought to herself.
