Hey Guys I am deciding to make a new story, well this story is just a side project if you are wondering if I am quitting my other story "Well, You Oughta Know" I just got inspired to make a Naruto world based story. I don't want to keep on doing high school stories all the time.
Also! This is a story I will be working on monthly most likely for "SasuSaku Month"...
Anyways, ENJOY!
His Path
Ch.1
I Can't Help It, I Have To Love You
What am I doing…?
"What is in it for me if you're coming along?" His voice was dark, cold, I hated that. "What are you plotting?"
"I'm not plotting anything! Ever since you left Konoha, I've regretted not going with you!" I had to do this, I really had to. If I can get onto his side, I can just kill him. No one would expect it! I looked at the girl next to him lying on the floor, helpless… She was dying. "I'll do anything you want," I held my hand hovering over my heart; "I don't want to have anymore regrets."
"And do you know what I want?"
"I don't care! I'll do whatever you ask—."
"I'm going to destroy Konoha!" My mouth dropped, he was going to… What? "…That's what I want! Will you really be able to betray Konoha for me?"
"Tch, Yes. If you asked me to."
"Then prove it," He pointed to the girl, "finish her off, then I'll believe you."
I pulled out my kunai in hand out of my rain coat, "Who is she?"
"A member of a group I formed called Taka." Too much info, but okay, "As you can see, she's useless. Sakura, you're a Medical Ninja, right? You can replace her… This will work out just fine."
How could he, he's definitely not the old Sasuke… He's completely changed.
Just does it, this girl meant nothing to you anyways. I walked forward, normally. Sweating, I breathed in a stopped in front of the girl, he watched me step by step. I paused for a second…
"Well Sakura, you can't do it?"
I took a deep breath, and whispered, "Sorry…" I clutched my kunai and stabbed her where it hurts the most.
"KAAAAAA…" She screamed, coughing blood it had landed on my cloak. I stood up, and then glared at Sasuke. Groans from the girl were so unbarring.
"I did it."
"Surprising," He stepped over her, waving signaling me to follow. I looked down at the girl; I could save her or just walk over her.
"I'm so sorry…"
"Sakura," I walked over her body, I sensed someone watching us. I ignored it and followed Sasuke. His aura was so depressing to me; he was so much brighter when we were younger.
It was just us running silently till we got to his hideout. I walked on in, it was a long hallway till we got to this big door, and Sasuke used a seal to unlock it. We all walked in and then it was dark… till Sasuke lit a fire in the middle of the room where a fire pit had been placed. Three different people appeared out of the dark, they were all sitting next to the fire.
"Thanks Sasuke." The man was tall; he had a hint of orange hair. I couldn't tell since it was still a bit dark.
"Wait a sec, where is Karin?" The other man was about Sasuke's height, he had silver hair.
"And another, who is she?" Who's...? This man looks so familiar.
"This is Karin's replacement."
"What… what happened to Karin?"
"Why do you care for her all of a sudden, Suigetsu?"
"I-I don't." He clutched his own hand.
"She is simply gone." Sasuke walked over to the fire, and slouched into the position he usually sits in.
"Gone..?"
"…"
"Where were you guys when I went off to kill Danzo?"
"Well we were fighting guards. Then we got disguised as guards… You know, the usual." He slurped his drink.
"Akatsuki…" Did I just say that?
"Indeed." The man looked at me, well, everyone looked at me.
"Sakura, isn't that correct?" Suigetsu implied, I nodded. "Didn't you kill Akatsuki members?"
"Hm…" The man muttered and looked at me still. Sasuke looked a little surprised.
"I heard a pink haired girl killed a man named… who was it, Sasori? The man traveling with Deidara to capture the sand's kazekage."
"Why does this even matter now?" I spoke out. I stood my ground.
"Well, Akatsuki killers can't be trusted within a group filled with Akatsuki members." That's right; Sasuke is now a member…
"Of course… but that's in my past. It should show I am reliable in a battle."
"A little girl like you… killed Sasori." The man in the mask was starting to scare me. "Sigh, my name is Uchiha Madara."
"Huh?"
"You, you have great potential, just like Tsunade."
"Except no boobs…" Snort… that Suigetsu kid is starting to get on my nerv's…
"…Cough."
I can't flip out; I have to hold it back.
I was lying in the room Karin supposedly had been in the night before. I couldn't sleep; I just didn't seem the need to… I betrayed Konoha, what else could go wrong? I was sitting up; the room was getting cold, I had my shirt off and only my bra and my shorts on. Only the candle was holding light and warmth in the room. I wrapped my cloak around myself; I do wish I was home.
Knock, knock.
"Huh?" I got up from my bed with the cloak wrapped around me, and opened my door and there stood the man named "Madara?"
"Hello," He folded his arms, "What's the real reason you're here?"
"What?"
"Leaf ninjas, such as you, don't come here for no reason and just betray their village like that."
"W-well… I lo-"
"Madara,"
"Speaking of the devil,"
"Madara, I told you to stay away from her tonight." Sasuke seemed really upset… or is that just me? He stepped back and turned around, then walked right pass Sasuke.
"Fair enough, goodnight." I watched him walk all the way till he turned down a hall, then we heard a door opened and shut. I looked up at him, Sasuke. He was staring at me.
"Uhm…" I backed up into my room and grabbed onto the door.
"Sakura, we need to talk."
"About?"
"…" He started to walk into my room; he sat on the bed and looked up at me. "Sakura, do you really regret not going with me the night I left?"
"Yes, why you ask?" He was getting suspicious.
"I never wanted to leave, you know. I knew I was better off in Konoha and forgetting everything in my past. Kakashi told me that revenge will bring you nothing but more pain," He took a deep breath. "Why am I breaking down to you?"
"Cause we have a stronger bond then all of these guys here."
"Tch…" He looked the other way.
"Well Madara seems to be treating you like a pet."
"Sakura you know nothing… annoying…"
"… I'm used to it by now," I grabbed my shirt and put it on, "that all?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"Does Konoha seriously want me back after all I have done?"
"Naruto and I do."
"I said Konoha, as in everyone." He glared at me, I opened my eyes wide. Then blinked and sighed.
"Well I'm not sure; I was always quiet about you. Tsunade allowed us to search for you. It's just not Konoha anymore without you." I walked over to the bed; he scooted over so I can crawl into the covers. He still sat on the edge. "This isn't like you…"
"I just haven't trusted any of you since the day Naruto and I got into that big fight at the valley. I have my moments, I've grown up."
"Tell that to Naruto…"
He let out a chuckle for a second. "Well you have grown more mature."
"I think it's just you."
"What do you mean?"
"I haven't had a good conversation in awhile." I sighed; no one has really talked to me and made me happy in a long time. They might think that I am happy but once they turn away I let my feelings show.
"Ah…" He got up, "I'll be leaving."
Sasuke's POV.
I was walking down the hallway of where Madara's room was. I knocked on the door.
"Madara, open up."
"Yes, Sasuke?"
"I have a request, I want Itachi's eyes." I kept on squinting my eyes, I could barely see.
"So… I see that you have overused the Susano'o. That's why you're going blind I believe," I rubbed my left eye, they were starting to sting. "Perfect timing,"
"Transplant them right away…"
"You're in a hurry, what's going on?"
"I'm going to use every ounce of my power on the war. That's all."
…
The next moment we were in a dark room, with glass holders all over the walls holding eyes of different Uchiha members. I was lying on a metal bed, waiting for Madara getting ready for the transplant, he spoke out.
"You ready?"
"Do it." I just kept looking at the ceiling.
…Brother…
…I will crush the Leaf Village…
The next morning I woke up. Madara put a wrap around my eyes and so I couldn't see a thing, I couldn't even open my eyes. As if my eye lids were glued together (Don't ask how I know this… I had eye surgery and I couldn't open my eyes on my own for days.) but I knew I was in my room. I moved my body up, sitting on the bed.
"Stay." Madara, I didn't even sense his chakra?
"Hn…"
"Wait for the girl to wake up; she needs to heal your eyes. If she wasn't here you'd have to be lying around waiting for your body to settle in your brother's eyes."
"I need to get training as soon as possible."
"Possible isn't now. Just lay back down and I'll see if I can get her up." I heard footsteps, and a door shut. I sat there thinking what kind of things I would be able to do now with his eyes implanted in my eye sockets.
A few seconds passed,
"Sasuke lay down." It was Sakura. Once I lied down she took the wrap off of me and started to form her healing chakra. "This might sting a little." She started to heal my eyes. It hurt but not as much as it did when I had my old eyes. Soon after the pain swelled down and I could open my eyes, I looked around and I saw that my vision was cleared.
"Thank you Ms. Haruno," She bowed and walked on out. Then he looked right at me, "Better?"
"Yes." I got up from the bed and walked pass him, "I am going to go train." He transported me to my training area,
"See ya," and he transported away.
That's all for now, please R&R ;D! Ask me if I should continue.
