The Battle of the Itachi Clones!!

[Atake, the Mist Shadow]

[glow=red,2,300]Although I'm not a clone, I've accepted Zen's challenge. If I win, he can't be Itachi and is gay. If he wins, he can be Itachi and is still gay.

I leave the first move to you, Zen, this is your show.[/glow]

Hidden within the shadows of a small thick forest, Zen Itachi Uchiha slowly perambulated on the dirt patch road that seemed to have no end. With every step he took, faint colored patches of moonlight layered on him to reveal different sections of his long black open robe which stretched to his ankles. The cloak was patterned with red clouds, the symbol of the akatsuki, and the symbol of the goddess Oya which whom Zen acknowledged a great deal. Also Along the bottom of the robe was 2 red kanji on each side. Itachi flipped his robe back some to have his sword's hilt stick out. Still not showing his full figure, Itachi made way toward the forest's exit to be located near a grassy plain with hardly any shade to conceal him in. The moment he reached the new destination, a calm breeze swept up from behind him to blow several leaves and loose grass blades to spiral into the abyss night sky. Itachi stood underneath the branches of a tree while the night was unfolding to its true tone. He poked his face through the sheet of shadows exposing but only a straw hat which he wore on top of his head. Tied along the edges of the hat were white ribbons shielding the top half of Zen’s face. Itachi next took a step out and made his dark blue tabi boots slide through the luscious green grass. Even his dark blue sashinuki hakama were shown a little in the scene. These sashinuki were pants designed with a chord running through the hem so that Zen could tie it close to his ankle creating a ballooning effect near the calf.

Itachi brushed off his shoulders and fixed up his shirt that was underneath his robe. The shirt was black with the Uchiha symbol on the back and his full name written in kanji above it. Having no sleeves for the shirt, his robe sleeves were longer than his arm length. Inside the sleeves were two pocket straps, one on each sleeve. The left sleeve held a common Kunai knife. The right sleeve held 3, quick to reach, four pointed Shuriken. With his arms down to his side, Itachi walked further out; finally showing his self out in the open. He had smooth black hair with two short bangs that dangled in front of his face. Zen decided to take a quick look at inventory, always being fully prepared before entering a battle. He swiftly moved his hand toward the left side of his robe and ran his fingers down the side of his katana's hilt, rubbing the rough silver surface of Shokaisaku no Yaiba, the energy cutting blade. After doing so, Itachi slid his hand into the cloak, feeling around on the many pockets he had attached to the inside, all of which held his many ninja tools. One by one, he pulled out these items, examining them, then placing them back into their pockets. In total he had 5 kunai knife, 10 shuriken, 5 smoke bombs, 10 explosive tags, long wire, 2 scrolls(one a seal, and one a summoning), a small bottle of Manbennakubou(A special antidote), and amulet shaped like a heart. Those things he all kept hidden within his cloak, freely accessing them when in battle. Now fully prepared, he stood there and waited for the slightest movement out of the ordinary.

Itachi stared up at the stars and pondered on his gruesome past with a gentle breeze running its fingers through his hair. Since teenage years he's been a wanderer, and manslayer. Along with being a wanderer, Zen was one of the few remaining Uchiha clan members and a former member of the Akatsuki. The Uchiha clan was once was the world’s strongest force, and lead the nations with their amazing brutal power. The Uchiha clan was famous for its unique Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan. The Sharingan were special eyes which carefully analyzed the movements of their opponent. These eyes of Uchiha clan granted Itachi with an amazing keen sight, perception of movements, and overpowering genjutsu. It allows the user to comprehend the attack of an opponent almost before the attacker knows what attack they are making. The Sharingan also allows the user to see the flow of chakra or energy within a person. The Sharingan's first and most well known ability is to memorize any technique that it witnesses. It can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as his own. However some techniques are not capable of being copied. Techniques such as Kekkei Genkai and summoning techniques are not copy able. The Sharingan also grants the user incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to track fast-moving objects with ease and even predict the subsequent movements of those objects. Itachi's fully-evolved Sharingan eye can track the quickest movements, even if the he cannot move at the same speed. This perception is also great enough to see through genjutsu, and the ability to observe the movement and flow of chakra. Additionally, the Sharingan grants the user exceptional analytical powers, allowing them to instinctively pick up on various visual clues with little difficulty. The Sharingan also is capable of a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through simple eye contact. When used in conjunction with the other aspects of the Sharingan, this allows the user to perfectly mimic every move their opponent makes, even before they do, making it appear as if the user can see the future. Itachi as an advanced Sharingan user can take the hypnosis ability even further by trapping his opponent within an illusion.

There are 3 stages to the normal sharingan. After mastering those 3 stages, a master of the Sharingan can go beyond to a more advanced type of Sharingan, known as Mangekyo Sharingan. The Mangekyo Sharingan performs all of the above functions to a greater extent. Its powers vary depending on the user. When using the Mangekyo Sharingan Itachi’s genjutsu performances are dramatically increased allowing him to bend his opponents mind using advanced illusions. Besides this, using the Mangekyo Sharingan grants Itachi the ability to unleash his 3 most powerful attacks. One of these techniques is the Tsukiyomi. Tsukiyomi is an inescapable genjutsu activated by Itachi simply by looking at his opponent in the eyes. When activated he forces his opponent into another world hidden inside of their conscious where everything, time and space is controlled by Zen. The other of two techniques granted by activating the Mangekyo Sharingan are two forbidden jutsu, Amaterasu and Susano’o. These two jutsu, Itachi rarely ever resorts to. They cause tremendous destruction almost instantly, nearly inescapable, and inhumane. For those reasons, Itachi refuses to use them until he absolutely needs too. Rarely does he ever enter Mangekyo stage at all.

From the ability of the Sharingan, Zen has copied and mastered many jutsu of all different elements and has even altered a few to creating his own unique jutsu. Besides these, Zen is a master in fire type ninjutsu just as all Uchiha clan members were. Fire was the clan’s main element, the very reason for their clan symbol the fan, said to fan the flames which burned inside of every Uchiha soul. If necessary these flames would be released, setting fire to everything and anything that stood in their way, sparing no mercy as it blazed with full force.

Zen took a few more steps forward, his sleeves dangling to the side as the night breeze blew its cool air, the bright pearl in the sky shone its light down upon him as he looked up towards the stars. The white light gleamed brightly across on his pale mellow face and his eyes revealed the moons reflection as they stared back. The wind now blew harder and Itachi crossed his right hand over once more to take a firm grip of his sword's hilt. Taking the hilt he slowly unsheathed it, then holding it forward. A stream of the moon’s light revealed the almost transparent blade and showed Itachi’s reflection, he stared into and it stared back, his blood red eyes flashed a scene of destruction and chaos in his mind and somewhat… a vision of what's to come. ¤ž¤[/i][/size]

Far, far too long winded. You're obviously talented, but you challenged me to a battle. This looks nothing of the sort. If you'd like to try again, I'll give you a second chance. If you'd like me to initiate the battle, please acknowledge so, but this seems more like a documentary than anything else. Basically, all you accomplished with... *checks watch*... the last four minutes of my life is tell me what the Sharingan does, tell me what Itachi looks like, and that you can walk out of a forest. I knew all of this. Detail is great, but you've tried too much to impress.

((Trying too hard? Sorry I wasn't sure what style of RP you did. I mainly do T9 literate (Which it's respectable to state what your character has equiped and their basic ability so you can't just pull out some random bs.) but I guess you're not there yet. My apologies. But in all honosty it sounds to me like that's your way of saying "I can't keep up." I don't mind that but there's no need for the sugarcode. I really have no need to impress you lord.))

Zen came upon a wide open plain, wearing his black robe (which previously symbolized him as an akatuski shinobi) along with a straw hat which covered the top half of his face. He had heard of a great ninja who some how seemed to retain the same power as he, the power of the sharingan... It had been years since he last came across someone else with this unique ability. Just a few days before present time they had met... unfortunately..the meeting resulted in the establishment of an all out battle between the two... Why? Itachi himself is yet to understand...

Itachi now at the predecided distination for which the battle would take place he stood with his arms fully vieled and down to his side, waiting for his opponent...¤ž¤

((Your membership isn't as important to me as you seem to believe, Zen. If you get an attitude, you'll find yourself banned and I'll find myself even more in want to delete this site and get it over with.))



The grass of the windswept savanna danced quietly with the breeze, rippling and twirling as far as the eye could see in every direction but the one from whence Zen came. As far as the natural eye could, that is. The pair of eyes in question, a pair of gray eyes, sad, deep-set, and weary, could see for miles in every direction. These eyes belonged to a man, garbed all in black, who was seated in the grass several yards from Zen.

Atake had been there for hours, meditating, thinking, preparing himself for what he knew to be no easy battlie in coming. He had been waiting for this chance for years: now, finally, Itachi Uchiha had come.

He stood with his back to Zen and brushed off the seat of his pants and, straightening his wristbands, remarked: "You've come after all." He took a calming breath, turned around, and looked the Uchiha legend in the eyes. Gray met red, and Atake felt a surge of energy through his body. This, he knew, would likely be one of the most horrid fights of his life.
