Lora heard shuffling outside the front door when she walked past it. She went over to see who it was through the peep hole, but before she could, she heard the sound of keys and the door opening.
"I'm a Martial Leader now, what an eventful day". Itachi walked in with a massive smile, while sweat was trickling down his face.
When he closed the door and turned around, he came face to face with his mother. Beautiful and Elegant with long black hair and a smile that could brighten up the day. She was the mother he had lost during the war in his previous life.
No one could see it, but there were two different emotions mixed in the room, right at that moment. Itachi wanted to cry, not a day went by where he didn't miss his parents and now his mother is right in front of him. He felt a tear threatening to flow down his face, but he held it in he was trying to act normal.
But Lora's face went from disbelief, scared, utter terror then finally, she screamed. "Aaaaah who are you what have you done with my son?" she screamed as she pointed the spatula right at Itachis nose.
'She is the same here as she was on Earth, so hyper' Itachi giggled is his mind. He reached out and moved the spatula to the side. "Mom what are you doing?"
"Y-you just said you're a M-Martial Leader, when did you start training? How long has this been going on?" Lora could not believe what she heard.
"I started training once you left for your business trip and I just broke through while I was outside" Itachi said while scratching the back of his head.
"What, how, I've never seen you lift a finger, or even have any interest in becoming a Martial Artist. But you're saying it took you less then a month to become a Martial leader" Lora was so shocked she could barely stand straight.
"Well maybe Luna and Leia aren't the only geniuses in this family, hahaahh." Itachi started flexing his muscles while trying to look like a hero.
Whaack
Lora smacked him on the head with the spatula, turned around and walked back to the kitchen. "Don't get cocky Itachi and work hard, you've made my day."
Itachi finally let his tears stream down his face. "I've missed you so much mom" Itachi said quietly. Then he made his way upstairs to have a shower and then he came down for dinner.
During dinner Itachi would play pranks on Leia and take her food while she wasn't looking, it just felt natural. In his memories this is how the previous Itachi acted but he wasn't forcing himself to act the way the previous Itachi did, instead he was just doing what he felt was natural. It was as if the two personalities have merged.
Luna looked over at Itachi and released pressure crashing towards him, but to her surprise he was still playing with Leia as if nothing happened. The oppressive force she was using on Itachi is enough to bring a low martial leader to their knees, but it wasn't enough, so she increased it to Peak Martial Leader.
Itachis body became stiff but surprisingly he did not fall, he gritted his teeth and started eating his food. His movements were strained, his forehead was beaded with sweat.
"Is the food spicy?" Luna asked Itachi
"Uhh No" Itachis voice sounded strained.
"Why are you sweating is everything okay?" Luna smirked and asked, she finally released the pressure, which had Itachi breathing a sigh of relief.
"Oh its nothing, the food must be heating me up" Itachi made up a lie and smiled wryly
Lora looked at him one last time, smiled and nodded with approval. Dinner went by quickly
Itachi went upstairs and went to bed. When he woke up the next day, he did his morning routine and went downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast Luna dropped him and Leia off to their schools.
When Itachi got to the gate he heard the excited chatter of the students.
"Did you hear Akio and Deo are coming back today"
"Yeah I wonder how they did at the training camp, I bet they got stronger."
"Yeah I heard Akio placed 4th and Deo 7th."
"Yeah even though there weren't any matches they still went through trials"
The students were chatting away while on their way into school.
"Ohh damn it Deo's back" Itachi scratched his head. "That annoying bastard". Deo and Itachi are childhood friends and they used to chase skirts together.
But Deo has been in love with Luna since forever and Itachi was not ready for Deo to annoy him about being his wingman, to help with his mission for love. "Damn it" Itachi dropped his shoulders and sighed heavily.
*Beep* "All students in the martial arts academy please come to the Martial Arts gym in 5 minutes." A deep authoritative voice said over the PA.
'Well I was heading there anyway' Itachi thought while he made his way towards the Martial gym.
It wasn't long until the gym was full of students, about 120. Everyone quieted down when they saw the coach walking on the stage, followed by Akio and Deo.
The coach's name is Kai Rex, he was a large muscular man, with red hair and a scar that starts from his left eye straight down to his neck. He stands at 230cm tall, with biceps the size of basketballs and legs that look as hard as iron. He is a low Martial King and the person behind him was Akio.
Akio is 185cm tall with brown hair and brown eyes and he was fairly handsome. His body is cut and lean and his muscle are well balanced, looking explosive. Deo was trailing behind Akio with a goofy smile on his face, looking like he was high on life.
He was tall and muscular, standing around 195cm tall, with a dark blue Afro that was tied up. He had a scar under his left eye and dark blue eyes. He was grinning from ear to ear because he just told himself a joke, "Hehehe" and then he started giggling.
"Cough" Kai coughed and Deo stopped grinning immediately. Kai turned towards the members which got them excited.
"As you know, the Country Champs are a week away, so I am here to announce the starting 3 and will announce the 3 back ups and the 3 spares this afternoon.
The members became excited!!
"Oh my god who do you think the 3rd members going to be"
"Obviously it's going to be Itachi"
"Yeah he took down Isaac with a single move and he looked so cool."
Everyone already witnessed Itachis strength yesterday, when he defeated Isaac, but there were still some people who believe Itachi got lucky.
"That doesn't count, Isaac was just caught off guard."
"Yeah it was a cheap shot"
"QUIET!!!" Kai raised his voice which shook the entire gym. Everyone went so quiet, all you could hear is breathing.
"Okay, we already have Akio and Deo as our first 2 fighters. Akio will be our captain and I'll have him announce our third fighter.
Akio took a step forward and took a deep breath. "Our first choice was originally meant to be Isaac but we heard some interesting news yesterday. It seems have a hidden talent in our Martial Arts Club, but we would like to test him out ourselves before we're sure."
Isaacs face was ugly, he obviously felt wronged. He was standing in the corner with his face wrapped in bandages
"I think he's talking about Itachi"
"Yeah obviously"
The members started discussing amongst each other.
"So can Itachi pls step forward" Akio said as he locked eye with Itachi.
"Everyone step back" Akio ordered and without hesitation every one moved.
BOOM
A figure flew into the air and landed 10 meters away from Itachi. It was Deo and he had a grin on his face. He was giggling while looking at Itachi.
"How's it going Itchy" it was his nickname for Itachi because everytime Itachi sees him, itachi scratches the back of his head and he doesn't know why.
"Here I come and I'm not holding back, you know me"
BOOM!!!
Deo shot out like an arrow, he appeared in front of Itachi throwing a powerful blow that was overflowing with power. The pressure from the punch caused a few of the weaker members to take a few steps back.
Itachi was as calm as a river while the punch was closing in on him, at an incredible speed.
Some of the members didn't understand what Itachi was doing and thought he was too scared to move.
BOOM
The clam aura Itachi was giving off exploded and rushed out in every direction, knocking a few of the member off their feet,
PAK PAK PAK
Itachi unleashed the Extreme fist, throwing out a punch that caused the air around his fist to make popping noises.
Kai's jaw dropped and his eyes almost popped out of its sockets, he felt something in side him trying to break out. Everyone was too focused on Itachi and Deo to notice anything.
BOOM!!!
The 2 fists collided causing the stadium to shake violently, some members even had their ears ringing
Deo took a few steps back while Itachi only swayed a little bit, but both their arms were numb.
The members couldn't believe their eyes and the people that were doubting Itachi came to a realisation. Itachi never took Isaac serious.
"Did he just push Deo back!!!"
Some even exclaimed out loud
"You held back, what happed to going all out?"
Itachi asked while trying to calm the numbing pain in his arm.
Deo felt his arm and it was numb, he shook it and laughed. "Hahaha, you did too hahaha I can't believe I never noticed." Deo was grinning, he was happy that his seemingly cowardly friend was actually a good Martial artist. "Well it makes sense, since you are my future wife's little brother and all" he said with hearts in his eyes while hugging himself and swaying side to side, making him look like the biggest simp. This made Itachi scratch the back off his head.
Deo got ready to attack again but before he could, Kai cut him off
"Well I think we have our answer, Itachi will be our third fighter. Thank you all for coming, classes will start soon so you may leave now. Itachi you stay we need to have a chat.
