This short story came to me one day, it only has two chapters in it. As I've been watching and reading the Naruto series, I came to a weird conclusion: some major character is going to kick the bucket. It's not that I don't like Sasuke, I just really think with all he's done it's going to kick him in the rear some day, and I think his death will be what will happen. I will warn you now, there are some spoilers here. If you didn't know Itachi's secret or what Sasuke does when he finds this little tidbit out, I wouldn't recommend reading this.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto series
Fate's Hand
Chapter 1
The Premonition
When one heard the name Sasuke Uchiha, many thoughts would come to the mind. Most of all, traitor or evil would be the words most people who knew him would think. Still though those thoughts that plagued others would not linger in Sasuke's own dark mind; noting the stares of villagers in villages he had been in, Sasuke knew he gave off the aura of danger. No sane person would even attempt to fight him less they wished for death.
His team had pulled into a local village in the Iron country to rest for the night. Sasuke needed to be in prime condition if he wished to survive a battle with the five Kages of the ninja world.
It seemed insane but it was what Sasuke wished. After defeating his brother and meeting Madaara Uchiha, Sasuke wanting nothing more than to defend his fallen brother's honor. The only way to accomplish that was to wipe the world of ninja from the face of the Earth.
His quest started with the destruction of the five Kages.
Iron country was terribly cold, snow covering the ground everywhere. The people of this country wore heavy fur clothing everywhere they went. None of these people knew what would go down in their own country. Perhaps in some cases, ignorance was indeed pure bliss.
"Tell your fortune young man?"
An old woman's voice hurled Sasuke back to reality. She wore long dark robes and stood outside her small, one window home, smiling at him with a toothless smile.
Sasuke snorted. No way in hell will he do such a trivial thing. With that thought in his mind he continued on his way, ignoring the old woman.
"Your plan will not succeed, Sasuke Uchiha."
Warrior feet stopped dead in the snow. Sasuke gripped his sword.
"No need to kill me, traitor of Konoha. I am a mere old fortune teller." The old woman showed no fear as she spoke to one of the most ruthless missing-nins to date. "I can tell you why your plan will not succeed."
Still on his guard, Sasuke stood before the woman, his gaze intense.
"Please step into my parlor." She offered and he took, though with tension in his body and mind.
She instructed Sasuke to sit in a chair that was near a table covered with a red cloth. A clear globe sat in the middle of said table with another chair across from him. The old woman sat in the other chair, placed crackled hands around the clear globe.
"You have done many an evil things, Sasuke Uchiha." The woman stated while gazing into the clear ball. "To let go of strong bonds to gain power…To kill a brother who sacrificed his soul to protect you…most unpleasant."
The hairs stood on the back of Sasuke's head. By the looks of it, this old woman was the real deal.
For no one but Madaara and Sasuke knew of Itachi's once most inner thoughts.
"The gods do not favor you I am afraid…" The old woman looked stoic. She showed no emotion whatsoever. "Thus your plan to rid the world of ninjas will fall." Finally she sat her eyes upon his own dark ones.
"For you will die by a hand you once knew."
"Sasuke!" Karin suddenly burst in, out of breath. "I know where the Kages are!"
Silent, the last Uchiha stood, turned his back to the old woman.
"Heed my words, Sasuke Uchiha…If you do not repent for the transgressions you have done, you will die."
He left the old woman's words in the stale air of the village, not caring what the future held.
If he is to die, he would take the Kages with him.
