Before The End

Chapter 1: The One With The Beast

Lying on the park bench late at night, looking at the stars, I wonder what Sasuke is doing. Couldn't sleep tonight so I went out for a walk, then seeing how beautiful the star was, I decided to stay for a while. As I was lost in thoughts I lay my elbow over my head, sighing in the process. With my other hand I reach up to the stars, as if trying to catch one, then placing my hand over my chest. I clench my hand, making a fist then raising it up to the dark sky.

Hope you're proud of your son dad…

With my battle with Sasuke coming up, so many lives at stake, but somehow my soul… it still manages to remain calm. I know that I have to train harder in order to beat sasuke but… the newly-achieved power of the kyubi lifts the weight a little. My thoughts began to wander off. I ask myself what led Sasuke to want revenge on the leaf so bad. He already had did what he set out to do: kill Itachi. Then he joins the Akatsuki, after that he had revenge on Danzo… According to Madara… this is his fate. If it is so then fate is cruel: stripping him of his family, clan… then pitting him against comrades, sensei, and his brother. The individual thought of as: the star pupil, genius, the one who had potential to be one of the greats, now became a fugitive, exiled from his own village.

"Rurrrrr…" My stomach growling snap me out of my thoughts. Apparently one instant ramen bowl wasn't enough.

I slowly drag my feet to the familiar street-side ramen shop, walk in, sat down and quietly said:

-"He…hey, can I please get a bowl of ramen?"

The shopkeeper was on the other side of the counter, turning his back to me, drying his bowls.

-"Sorry son, it's past closing time, come back tomorrow."

-"Oh, ok then…"

The shopkeeper lets out a sigh, rolls his eyes then turns around and said:

-"Oh fine I'll make an exception for you, what will you be havi…". But no one was there. The shopkeeper walks out the door, looking both ways into the dark streets before coming back inside.

I wasn't anywhere far, just back at the bench in the park. I decided to take one last farewell look at my friends so that I can leave without regrets. I was going to use my new powers again. Taking a deep breath, I slowly close my eyes, achieving inner peace. Once again, I see myself standing in the darkness, on top of a chain of interlocking torii, standing under a white globe lighting up the darkness. As I reach up, part of the globe liquefies and touches my hand.

Suddenly, back in reality, I felt a powerful surge running through my body. I then look at the sky, close my eyes and take a deep breath. As I jump through the sky in the night all that the people down below see is a yellow flash.

I visit each and everyone one last time: Sakura, Hinata, Shikamaru, Rock Lee…They were sleeping so peacefully. Suddenly I clench my fist, I know what I must do, I must protect my friends, my sensei, my village, THIS WORLD! Then I raise my eye, look at the moon with determination.

Even if it means me killing you, Uchiha bastard…
