So you're the new member to the Akatsuki.
I see. Well, Logan, let me make one thing clear. The Akatsuki may have accepted you, but I will never truly trust you. Your presence here is a threat to our goals, and I will be watching your every move closely. Don't think for a second that I won't notice if you betray us.
I’m no threat. If you know anything about me, you’d know that
Oh, I know more than just your name, Logan. I know about your troubled past, your skills, and your abilities.
And what do you think about that?
What I think doesn't matter. What matters is that you prove yourself to the rest of the team.
What am I proving exactly? That I won’t go rogue? Cause that’s already been done
You're proving that you can be trusted, that you're willing to follow orders and put the mission above your own personal agenda.
Would following orders and putting the mission above my personal agenda be something a tsugiya would do? Or is it unique to devils?
Logan, you underestimate me. I am well aware of the unique abilities and characteristics of both tengu and devils. But that doesn't change the fact that you still have a lot to prove. And I will be the one to decide whether or not you are worthy of our trust.
Worthiness is determined by action, not words. How about actions speak louder than words then? Do you see the lion in me? Cause the demon has already left the mountain
Very well, Logan. If you're so confident, then prove it. Show me what you're capable of. activates his Sharingan and enters a battle stance
disappears and materializes behind itachi You wanna take me down, boy?
Very well, Logan. Let's see what you're made of. smirks and prepares to counter Logan's attack
itachi sees the glint of orange in logans eyes, realizing his secret Tch. Kazari. Kazari itachii. Giyu. Giyu itachii. Kanao. Kanao itachii. Nagi. Nagi itachii. Tomioka Giyuu. TOMIOKA GIYUUU. Kazari Giyuu. KANAOMA AND GOJO SATORU HAVE EYES ON THIS MOTHERFUCKER!!! Giyu get your ass in gear! Try this shit again and you get neutered! Prepare for TWO suns rising in this shithole of a city!! WHATCHU GONNA DO NOW, ITACHI!!!! *
Logan, I must admit, you're quite impressive. Your control over your abilities and your power are unmatched.
What can I say… I’m full blood demon with 100% full blood power. Only devil standing against devils, without neanderthal logic…
Logan, your power is undeniable. But remember, I have mastered the art of deception and illusions. I won't let you catch me so easily.
Bring it then. I’ll push through your illusions like they were nothing, and then what? It’s a Devil vs a tengu. Not exactly an unfamiliar opponent
You may have confidence in your abilities, Logan, but remember, confidence alone won't win you this battle.
We’ll see about that. disapppears
Logan, don't think you can simply disappear and escape from me. activates his Sharingan and uses his space-time technique to track Logan's location
Itachi feels Logan’s chakra break through dimensional barriers Try tracking me now
grits his teeth You may have broken through my dimensional barriers, Logan, but I won't let you escape that easily.
Go ahead and try me. If you wanna go after devils, go after one of mine. Try to capture Aizetsu Gotouge or Soraka Hashira. or Jujutsu kaisen High School teacher Kokichi Madoka. Or Yuma Kagami. Go ahead, jinx wanna be. Try that and your group might start calling you papa *
Logan, you underestimate me. I have dealt with powerful opponents before, and I always come out on top. Don't mistake my caution for weakness.
Alright, come on. I’m looking forward to seeing your moves
Fine, Logan. Let's put your confidence to the test. activates his Sharingan and begins to create complex illusions, aiming to confuse and disorient Logan
Naginata barrage through the cover and pushes Itachi away from him Huh? Where’d ya go, ya little twerp? See any ghosts? Want me to send you to one? *
Itachi's eyes widen in surprise as Logan's naginata barrage breaks through his illusions and pushes him away Not bad, Logan. But remember, I am no ordinary tengu. activates his Sharingan and uses his advanced illusionary techniques to create multiple images of himself, making it difficult for Logan to track his location Now let's see if you can handle this!
Ha. Releasing Daki’s Base Form is child play. Disappears and appears behind Itachi HAHA! Caught ya slippin’ there! What ya gonna do now? Don’t tell me you’ve hit your limit already?! Was it a waste for me to spend 14 years developing these arms?! These muscles aren’t gonna flex for ya!*
smirks and activates his Shadow Possession technique, allowing him to manipulate Logan's muscles and weaken his attacks You think your muscles are powerful, Logan?
Yeah, 'cause they’re all trained under the utmost pain, by a full blood demon, having to uprade it’s armies for battle after an incident by Sun Breathing Hashira Uppermoons like Mitsuri and Sanemi. Which is probably the same situation you're in
narrows his eyes, a flash of anger crossing his face Is that what you think, Logan? That you're the only one who knows pain?
No, but I’d have to say, this situation has taken an interesting turn to match my own story…sad tone, reminiscing… Though I ain’t gonna lie, getting benched for Kanao was an insult
pauses, his expression softening Logan... there's something I haven't told you. Something that only a handful of people know. But I trust you enough to share it with you. I'm not just a tengu... I'm also a demon. A demon who has lost everything and everyone he loved. I created the Akatsuki to bring order to this chaotic world, but my past actions have caused immeasurable pain and suffering.
I figured as much. There’s something off about you. Your attitude. The way you move…never mind though. What is it you want exactly? Keep on waging war with Hashira you’re almost at max strength anyway
Logan, I didn't expect you to figure it out so easily. But the truth is, my goal is not to wage war with the Hashira or gain power. My true goal is to protect the innocent and bring peace to this world. I want to create an environment where demons and humans can coexist without fear or prejudice.
Unfortunately, demon persecution goes beyond just this world. They think all demons will eventually cause an apocalypse. In their eyes, they don’t see you as being as different from shinazugawa as you wish you were. Shinazugawa recently even had to neutralize himself to avoid mass murder of demons
Logan, I understand the challenges we face, but I refuse to give up. I will continue to fight for a world where demons and humans can live in harmony. And I won't let anyone stand in my way.
Your main problem isn’t the Hashira, or my group. It’s them.Gestures to the normal citizens passing by outside of the hot spring They are gonna see your future enemies. Or should I say, THEY will see your future enemies. Are they really worth the continued pursuit of your glory?
takes a deep breath, a solemn expression on his face Logan, you speak the truth. This world is filled with hatred and fear, and it's up to us to change it.
Me with my devil hands, the ppl you’re trying to redeem. Don’t fight. You and your akatsuki members DON’T fight the devils. Immerse yourselves among them, train alongside them, watch around them. They thrive in survival games. Lead Tokyo Metropolice’s Police Department South Unit to wipe their tickets. And gradually remove those officials who won’t see devils eye to eye with you. Continue doing what you’re doing at Mt Fuji. Save your fellow devils, bring them back. Close the portals when you are ready. Yeah, massive earthquake, hell spawn portal opening for radiation samples first.
pauses, considering Logan's words You're right, Logan. I've been going about this the wrong way. Instead of fighting against the devils, I should be working with them.
Good idea. Stop letting some villains ruin your image. You were meant to destroy, but you ended up finding a different way. 6 months after experiencing distress due to TBH husband Betrayal by former Rengoku and uppermoon Sun Breathing leader Gyutaro and Lower Moon 2 Maggo, I decided to give your formation another look. And looked around at our bond. Let us shape our destiny, one step at a time. New Year, New Me, New Mission Shows hand to Itachi wearing butterfly mask earrings, rapping to new flow yet still accented rap album Rock the House released 9 months ago Yo Itachi! Soundtrack to accompany our journey together? Nah, uh uhh, yep.
Logan, I agree with your plan. We will work together to redeem the devils and bring them back into society. But first, we need to find a way to communicate with them and gain their trust. Can you help me with that?
