NOTE: Pretty good if i don't say so myself

'It's finally time to rest,' Itachi thought as his body turned into paper. He closed his eyes until he felt a light warmth, and he reopened them to see a light approaching him. One side of his mouth raised but it quickly turned upside down when he saw the Sage of the 6 Paths before him causing his brow to furrow.

"Itachi Uchiha, your job isn't finished yet, you've lived your life a victim of an unfortunate circumstance with no good outcomes, but hopefully this time will be different." The Sage floated closer to Itachi and placed his hand over his eyes. "Although this next world is brutal and many could kill you at a moment's notice. To accommodate this you will never go blind again."

Itachi blinked a few times, he felt like he was looking through a new pair of eyes. But this still didn't answer his questions, he opened his mouth but his curiosity clearly changed to awe when he looked around him.

He was surrounded by giant stone blocks with lots of windows. 'Where am I? These buildings are the size of the mountains in the Cloud Village.' Itachi's focus changed to his own body though when he realized just how clearly he was breathing. Itachi took a deep breath and exhaled. He couldn't help but smile, for he hasn't breathed this clearly in years. 'It seems like the Sage restored my health, and he must have granted me an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. This is kind of him but I should have got more of an explanation for why I'm chosen to go to a world that isn't my own.' Itachi huffed and started walking down the alley. 'Well I'm already here so'- Itachi was cut off when he suddenly felt cold steel press against his head accompanied by a metal clicking sound. Itachi looked towards the direction of the object and raised a brow at the oddly shaped metal object this man was pointing at him. "Give me your money."

Itachi tilted his head at the words. "I don't understand what you're saying." The man pulled back the top part of the object and gritted his teeth. He stuck the object right in Itachi's face. "Stop speaking anime! We're in America Jap you're not gonna pull some tourist trick on me! Everyone knows what a gun is!"

Itachi didn't understand a single word he said but his expression said enough about his hostility and Itachi lowered his posture and spread his feet. But before he could do anything a man in red and blue suddenly swooped down and knocked out the mugger.

The tall man had Black hair, blue eyes, and a red and blue suit with a big S in the center. And to his right another tall man landed on the ground. This one wore black and gray with a yellow belt and a bat symbol in the middle. "Too slow Batman" the tall man said with a grin. He looked back at Itachi and asked, "Are you alright sir? That man looked like he was gonna shoot you with that gun."

Itachi still didn't understand anything but he ȧssumed the man was checking up on him. Itachi bowed, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're saying." 'I'm ȧssuming no one on this earth speaks my world's language, this will make things difficult.

The man with the bat symbol walked up to Itachi, "You only speak Japanese?" Itachi's eyes widened and he nodded. "I'm glad that someone understands me. My name is Uchiha Itachi. Can you tell me your names and where I am?"

"I'm Batman, the boy scout right here is Superman. You're in the heart of Gotham city."

"Uh, Gotham city?"

Batman raised a brow at this. "How did you get here?"

'Hm, well there's no harm in telling them, I doubt they know the Sage.' "The Sage of the 6 paths dropped me through a portal for some kind of mission, the details of which I'm not so sure of. And I don't know if I'll ever be back anytime soon. I was supposed to be dead."

"Uh hello, guys? I'm still here. Are you guys speaking Japanese?"

"Yes, this man doesn't know English and says he was dropped through a portal. His name is Uchiha Itachi."

Superman nods, "Konichiwa Uchiha. Uhh, Watashi wa Superman desu."

Batman was slightly taken aback, "I'm surprised you know that much. In Japanese they say the last name first though, so his name is Itachi."

Superman rubs the back of his head, "I save people all over the world all the time, it's more comfortable for them if I at least know how to greet myself in their language you know?"

"Right, well anyways. Itachi, you say that you were dropped through a portal with a mission. Are you a metahuman?" .

Itachi raised an eyebrow at this. "A metahuman is a person with unnatural abilities most people don't have."

'I'm not completely sure if I can trust them even though I sense no malice from them. Although the dark one seems like he would recognize a lie, I'll just say enough to please them.' "Well as a Uchiha we have a powerful Kekkei Genkai exclusive to our clan. It allows us to predict movement, copy almost anything we see with perfect accuracy, and some other things." Itachi's eyes turn red and he stares at both Superman and Batman. "How come neither of you have chakra?"

"Alright guys it's a little annoying just standing here and not understanding anything."

"Take us to the Gotham Library, he's a metahuman and he says his eyes let him learn really fast so let's put that to the test."

Once they're in the library they quickly find a book for Japanese and English translation and hand it to Itachi. "Itachi,

You're going to be staying in America for a while so it'll make communication a lot easier if you learn this land's tongue. Your eyes should make that easy right?"

Itachi nodded and Batman started leaving. "Hey Batman, where are you going? I can't babysit!"

Batman waved him off, "I need to finish patrolling. I'll be back in a couple hours. Make sure he doesn't leave your sight. We don't know what he's capable of or what his intentions might be."

Superman rolled his eyes, 'Always so suspicious of everyone.'

Itachi's eyes turned red again and a strange pinwheel pattern covered them. His eyes started surfing over every word he saw and he was turning the pages fast.

"Hey, you won't be able to process any of the words if you're just skimming through like that. Oh right he can't understand me..."

"Is fine."

Superman was taken aback. "You understood that fast?! It's a little broken but that's incredible!"

Itachi just flashed a smile and continued skimming through. After 2 hours he had a firm understanding of English. Some of his speech is still broken but he'll improve.

"Hey Itachi, you said something about Chakra earlier. What exactly is that to you?"

Itachi thought of how to answer. He picked up a nearby pencil and started drawing on a piece of paper. He drew a human with 361 points in its body, all connected through lines. "This is the chakra system. Is our life source and power source."

Superman nodded and both he and Itachi turned their eyes towards Batman who was walking towards them. Superman leaned into Batman's ear, "Batman, Itachi has some amazing eyes, his learning ability is almost as good as Jay when he learned a language in 10 minutes!"

Batman put a hand under his chin, "Itachi, do you understand what I'm saying?" Itachi nodded.

"Great, this will make things easier. Let's go to a more secluded location."

After arriving on top of a rooftop Batman asked many more questions about Itachi's capabilities and Itachi was an open book. He ȧssumed they were like the Anbu of this world. Superman asked him, "Itachi, so you came from a different world with uhhh, Shinobi who uses chakra as a power source like how I use the sun. And you were apart of a gifted clan, and you were apart of a great war that you were brought back to life for, which you died in again, and now you're here after a Sage sent you here."

Itachi nodded. "Man, that's a crazy story. There's no way to get back to your home and clan?" Itachi looked down at the ground. "My clan has been dead for a long time." Superman looked down at the ground guilty, "Oh, sorry I didn't know. I understand that pain." He looked back up. "Well you're welcome to ask us any questions."

"SOME questions." Batman glared at Superman.

"Alright, well could you tell me where I am and the reason for the odd clothing?"

"You're in Gotham city, which is my city. Superman comes from Metropolis, and the clothing is to hide our identities from people who would harm people close to us if they found out who we are. It also works as a symbol of fear-

"Or hope."

Itachi raised a brow. "If it's to hide your identities then why doesn't Superman wear a mask?"

Superman chuckled, "It's a little trick, you'd be surprised how well it works."

"Right, well are there more like you?"

Superman nodded, "Yes, many more. Me and Batman are a part of the Justice League, we defend the earth from whatever threatens it. You might meet some of the other superheroes like Wonder Woman, Flash, Black Canary, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Cyborg, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. And more heros show up all the time! Then there are the heroes who came before us, the Justice Society."

"I see, this League you're a part of, the closest equivalent to it in my world would probably be the legendary Sannin. But there were only 3 of those. What exactly are you two capable of?"

"Well I have super strength, invincibility, x-ray and heat vision, freeze breath, and I can fly."

"None."

"None?"

"He may not have any powers but don't let that fool you. He could probably take out the whole league if he wanted- the conversation was cut off when Superman heard a voice in his comms. "Sorry guys, there's been a devastating flood down in Florida, I have to go save the day."

"And I need to deal with Black Mask, he's got out and has been causing trouble. Itachi, take this."

Batman handed Itachi a communication device. Itachi fiddled with it not knowing what it was. Batman sighed, "I'm going to contact you later, when I do hold down this buŧŧon to talk back." Itachi nodded and they all said their goodbyes.

'Super heros that defend the world huh? The Sage warned me that I could be killed at any minute so I'll have to tread carefully until I can find out just how powerful these people are.

Itachi's eyes darted around looking at all the buildings and the ground far below. There were a lot of weird metal and glass cocoons on wheels with people inside them. 'I'm ȧssuming they are like horse carriages that pull themselves.'

Itachi looked in the direction of the sound of the screams he just heard in a restaurant. He quickly used shunshin to see what was going on. He walked in the store and saw someone holding a weapon up at a lady behind a counter. 'If I remember correctly Superman called that a gun earlier.'

Itachi scanned the room and saw 3 hostiles. One with a shotgun and two with handguns, and there were 8 civilians. He got ready to do hand signs but quickly grimaced. 'I didn't realize just how low on chakra I was. I'll have to be more hands on then.'

The man standing around with the hand gun noticed Itachi standing while everyone else cowered on the ground. He glared at him, "Hey, don't try to be a hero, get on the ground!"

Itachi faked an oblivious expression, "Uh sorry, I no understand engrish." The man facepalmed and sighed and started walking up to Itachi, "Alright well if I put a gun in your face do you understand tha-" The man was cut off when Itachi took the weapon away from him and shot him in the ċhėst with it. He then shot the man with the shotgun twice with one bullet landing in his head, and went to shoot the man near the counter, but the gun was empty. "You're gonna pay for that!"

"Damn." Itachi jumped behind a table as the man shot at him and all of the civilians started screaming. Itachi poked his head out but quickly receded as a bullet almost hit his head.

Before he could plan his next move the glass shattered and a man in Black and blue landed in the restaurant. He threw a baton at the gunman's head and he was quickly knocked out.

"Hey that's Nightwing from Blüdhaven! We're saved." Nightwing waved at the civilians with a smile as they walked out of the store. "So you're Itachi right? Batman told me that you might be out here somewhere."

Itachi bowed, "Is nice to meet you, Nightwing. And yes I'm Itachi."

"Well IT is nice to meet you, Batman said you're new to English so I'll give you some tips for when you mess up."

"Thank you."

Nightwings eyes traveled down to the dead man holding a shotgun in his still warm hands. Nightwings eyes widened. His voice raised slightly, "Wait you didn't kill this guy did you?!"

Itachi's eyes furrowed, "Yes, is that a problem? He was threatening these people's lives."

"Even still, if you're interested in being a vigilante or a hero you can't kill people! As Batman says . If you kill a killer then the number of killers in the world doesn't get any lower."

'Well I've killed a lot more than just one killer, although I doubt that would change his mind.'

"I understand."

Nightwings eyes narrowed, "I can tell by your eyes that it isn't your first time*sighs and puts a hand on his chin, well I guess this counts as self defense so what you did is lawful. Let's go."

"Where are we going?"

"We're gonna get you some new clothes. The black robes with red clouds looks nice but it isn't practical for combat."

Itachi looked down. He hadn't even noticed he was still in his Akatsuki robes. "Sorry, but I'm really low on chakra right now, so-" Itachi stumbled onto his knee. Nightwing came to his aid. "You alright?"

"I will be, just-" Itachi passed out.. "Alright, well change of plans then."
