Three years have past, Sasuke returns after the murdering of his brother, Orochimaru, Kabuto and the entire sound village, the news of his vicious blood bath, torturous behaviour and near insanity in that one night had reached the leaf ninja. They have prepared for his return and surrounded the walls to their beloved village with the intent to stop him from ever setting foot inside ever again.

Calm footsteps could be heard approaching the village through the forest; a few small droplets of blood left a patchy trail.

A smirk drifted across his cruel distorted features as the village came into sight. Not a guard in sight.

"What? No welcome home committee? Have I been forgotten so quickly" he smirked to himself again, knowing that no one could forget him. As he grew closer he sensed charka signatures from a large number of ninja, but none were to be seen, his red eyes flashed to the faint glint of metal wire traps set up "So the security has been stepped up a notch has it?" he thought as he simply jumped over the triggers as he landed on the ground in a crouching position he looked up to see an army of leaf ninja, fiery torches illuminating the night, Tsunade standing on the wall behind them, a furious look on her face as she stood ready for a fight, next to her stood Shizune with equal fierceness and the pink haired warrior who had loved him, her face wasn't in his clear view as she was looking to her sensei for orders the three stood above the army with the wind blowing their hair giving them the image of goddesses of war.

"Uchiha! You dare to come back here? To the people you abandoned?" Tsunade's voice growled.

"I ran away, does not my return cross out that charge against me?" Sasuke nonchalantly

"What makes you think your welcome back here?!" Tsunade demanded

"I could stand here arguing all day, or we could discuss this professionally indoors, besides I have a peace offering" his smirk grew wider as he swung a brown sack into view, small drips of liquid fell upon the land

"What could you offer us that could cause us to forgive your treachery?"

Sasuke's smirk grew wider still as he reached into the sack and slowly pulled out his offering.

From what Tsunade could see he was pulling fur or hair out of the sack, she held back a scream as she saw it was a human head, the head of Orochimaru, severed from his body, still dripping with blood fresh from its brutal removal.

"I have terminated a powerful enemy of the leaf! Surely this should show my allegiance with you and the village!" his voice a confident smugness that made Tsunade's blood boil.

"this shows that you abandoned your home for power only to kill once you surpassed your teacher, how could I allow those sorts of morals into this village, and what's more you clearly have no respect for the dead, even a villain such as Orochimaru does not deserve to have his head carted around like a trophy" Tsunade spat. "I will not allow you to enter the village, but should you wait until we have reached our verdict, you may be shown some mercy! Can you accept these terms?"

"Do I have a choice?" Sasuke angrily retorted then smirked to himself and muttered "well of course there is always a choice" chuckling darkly to himself quietly but still loud enough for it to raise the hairs on the back of Tsunade's neck "fine! I shall wait, but I am out of supplies, if I cannot enter the village to gather some things, could you send someone to bring them to me?" Sasuke drawled, Sakura had refused to look at him the whole time, "so she's still annoying" then he smirked "yes send my old team mate to fetch some supply's for me"

Tsunade frowned as he said this "We shall see" then she ordered the ninja's to disband leaving the regular guards on duty and Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura, who still refused to look at him. "If you try to enter before we grant to permission, you will be killed we will show no mercy.

So be honest, how was it? Flames are accepted, but I ask that you sign in properly to do it because I have no way of talking to you to learn how to make the story better, anyways next chapter should be up on Thursday. Plz r&r
