Author's Note: All rights go to the creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto. I used most of the lines from the manga in order for everything to go well with the story and for those of you who still haven't finished reading the volumes, you get an idea of what is going on so far. Thank you!
After I had finally traveled back to my village, I had made my decision. I am going to protect Konoha but in my own way. I believed that it was the current Hokage and the five other Kage's were responsible for the world and it's problems, I vowed to become Hokage and change it. Tucking the cherry blossom which was still pinned to my shirt to the inside, I made my way to the battlefield.
After we battled in the Fourth Final Shinobi World War alongside the four reincarnated Hokages that I brought back, against Madara Uchiha and Kaguya, we were exhausted, but I still wanted to finish my plan to start a new world.
"It is now time to end the Infinite Tsukoyomi." Hagoromo said, approaching us. "Naruto, Sasuke, by combining the tailed beasts chakra inside of you and Sasuke's Rinnegan, we can end this genjutsu." Naruto of course agreed and was willing to do it, but I wasn't.
"I'm going to execute the five Kages that are still inside the Infinite Tsukoyomi." I said, glaring at them.
"What exactly did you just say Sasuke?" Demanded Kakashi who stood there, glaring at me right next to Sakura who gave me a worried look. I ignored his question and glanced back at the tailed beasts who stood there, snarling at me. I closed my left eye then quickly opened it up, activating my Rinnegan. "And on top of that, tailed beasts, I am going to place all of you under my control!" The tailed beasts froze in place, now under my control.
Haguromo kept looking at me, astonished at how I managed to put them all under my control in just once glance before turning to look back at Naruto
"Naruto, so as expected, it's come to this. There's no choice but I have leave this to you. My time in this world is coming to an end."
"You may not like this either," Naruto said to him, "but we're not going end up like your kids. I am not Asura, and," he turned to look at me, "Sasuke is not Indra either!"
"Sasuke!" yelled Kakashi at me. "Is that still what your dream is right now? Are you saying you still want nothing more than revenge?"
I turned to look at them. "While it's true I once desired destruction, and the only goal I had was revenge, things are different now. Because that which is destroyed can always be fixed and rebuilt. Villages freed from the clutches and employ of darkness. What I desire is to reform the shinobi world. What I am calling for, what I will bring forth, is revolution!"
"What?! Did you just say.. revolution?" He yelled. I ignored his question once again, and turned back to the tailed beasts.
"Chibaku Tensei!" I cried out, clapping my hands together once and I watched as the ground began to shake, rocks hurled out from the ground and onto the beasts, quickly overcoming them trapping each and everyone once of them in a sphereical planetoid.
"Naruto! Help us!" screamed Kurama before he was covered up in the rocks.
"I'm going to get you out of there no matter what!" Naruto shouted up at Kurama as his and the other planetoids began floating up towards the sky and stopped about 100 feet up, hovering over us. I watched as Naruto watched the tailed beasts trapped in their planetoids, clenching his hands into fists.
"So, he didn't work out either." Haguromo said. "Entrusting just one of them with power resulted in Indra and Ashura in the past. Entrusting them both with power will now only bring forth the same results.."
"No!" shouted Naruto. "The brothers' feud.. I'm going to end it here!" Naruto snapped his head in my direction. "Why won't you release the tailed beasts? They've finally gotten their freedom and I've gotten to know each of them so well. They won't be doing any evil no more!"
I chuckled, shaking my head at him. Oh, Naruto. You really are an idiot.
"Naruto, it appears as though you still don't understand. You are now the jinchuriki for every single one of the tailed beasts, so of course their chakras all reside inside of you, which is included when I say I plan to destroy every single one of them! In other words, you're going to die." He continued to glare at me.
"Just like the sage said, "I said, continuing my explanation. "I don't need the tailed beasts power that's inside of you to dispel the infinite tsukoyomi. As long as I have the tailed beasts under my control to use, I'll keep them alive.. 'till then at least."
"I won't let you get away with this Sasuke!" yelled Naruto at me. I stood there, completely unfazed by his words. As if I cared. I was going to kill him and I was going to end this once and for all. I smirked at him.
"So I suppose I'll have to start with you Naruto, "I said, turning around and walking away but not before stopping in my tracks, "but not here. I have another place in mind. You know where."
"Wait, Sasuke!" yelled Kakashi, as he tried to stand up, but he fell back down on his knees. He was still feeling the after effects of the Sharingan. With my back still to them, I heard Sakura's voice.
".. I love you! No matter what's happened, I still care about you more than I can bear!" Her words made me shake inside. "If I could've taken all your pain onto myself, I would have. Here we are again, the three of us, and still all I do is just cry! I am so pathetic.."
"No you're not Sakura." I wanted to turn around and tell her, but instead I kept listening.
"But.. I love you Sasuke! If I still have a place in your heart, no matter how small it may be, please, I'm begging you, don't slip away any further!"
My heart then began beating faster and faster. "You do have a place in my heart Sakura." I wanted to tell her. " You've always had ever since we were little, even if it took me a long time to notice it."
"If we all just stayed together forever, then I'm sure someday, things will go back to the way they used to be." She finished, crying her eyes out. My whole body then began to shake and I suddenly felt a sad pain in my heart. I hated hearing her cry. It felt to me like it was just breaking my heart just to hear her. Something inside of me was telling me to stop this all. To tell Sakura I loved her, to apologize to Naruto, and to release the tailed beasts, but it didn't seem to get through to me. Even though I didn't want to do this, I had to. I had to settle this once and for all with Naruto, and I couldn't let anyone get in the way, not even her.
I slowly turned my head, my Rinnegan meeting Sakura's eyes.
"You really are damned annoying." I said to her. Then, running full speed at her, I conjured up my chidori, and pierced right through her chest and into her heart, casting my genjutsu.
Time seemed to go by in slow motion as we both stood there, my hand right through her chest, her eyes staring back at me in shock and horror, tears still running down her face. I hated to do this to her. It hurt me deep inside. I felt a tear run down my face.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to her. "I am so sorry." I took my hand out of her chest and watched as her eyes slowly closed and fell back down beside Kakashi, unconscious. I continued to stare at her. Even though she was now under my genjutsu, she was still crying tears for me. I could feel a lump growing in my throat, more tears were starting to form in my eyes, but I held them back. As I continued looking at her, something caught my eye. In her hand, gently waving in the wind, was a cherry blossom. The same one that was pinned to my shirt after I saw my mother.
"I am so sorry, Sakura.."
