The Song Of Wolves

Prologue:

The Death Of Sasuke

Sakura looked at the entrance of Konoha. She watched as the dead body of Sasuke was carried in. Feeling the tears run down her face she shook her head, "No….no…why…" she started sobbing. Naruto placed his arm around her shoulder as Sakura leaned in. "Itachi will pay for what he did." Naruto said in a calm and steady voice.

The flames danced around the burning body. No on said a word, they just all watched. Tsunade had thought that Sasuke deserved to be burned instead of buried. After all he had betrayed Konoha.

Naruto couldn't believe it, they had all though Itachi was dead. "He must have used the sharingan to make Sasuke believe he had killed his own brother and to set Sasuke on the path to destroy Konoha." Kakashi said to Naruto and Sakura. "But why would he kill Sasuke a year later?" Naruto asked furiously as the flames slowly began to die. "No one knows…." Kakashi said as he turned around to leave.

Naruto looked over at Sakura knowing full well she was in shock to find out Itachi was alive and Sasuke was now dead. "Come on, Sakura, you should go home and rest." Sakura shook her head and ran her hand through her hair. "I'm going to stay here for a little bit longer." Naruto nodded before he left her alone.

Her eyes had no more tears to cry as the last flame flickered out and all that was left of Sasuke was ash. She no longer felt the sadness, but anger. "I will get the revenge you desired." She vowed staring at the ashes.

In the distance two figured stood side-by-side watching the flames from far away. "What will we do now that the Akatsuki has been destroyed?" Kisame asked as he shuffled his sword to his other shoulder. Itachi's cold voice replied, "Whatever will come our way." The flames began to disappear in the distance. Itachi turned around and said over his shoulder, "I'm done here. Let's go."

Look forward to Chapter One!
