Mending Broken Pieces
Summary:The war is won. Sasuke is back and Naruto should be happy,right? But things get more complicated than he ever thought possible while Sasuke is fighting for the right to tell the villagers about his brother. Now the old best friends have to help each other to get through their problems. NOT yaoi. Spoilers if you are not up to date with the manga.
Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto
Author's Note: This is only a taster and my first story. I know that in the manga Karin is not there, but I wanted her in. I hope you enjoy it.
The fiery ball slowly rises up from its hiding place behind the hills and mountains, taking its rightful place in the clear, blue sky. Konoha's inhabitants start their daily routines and fill the village with life. The sunlight makes its way in a messy, unkempt room. Clothes are splayed across the floor, plastic containers, once holding food, lays scattered on the table and any piece of furniture available. The once bright yellow and clean walls are dirty covered in pictures of a blond man with dazzling blue eyes and warm smile. Minato Namikaze. In a few other pictures there is a beautiful red-haired woman known as Kushina Uzumaki.
The once happy and bright apartment, once upon a time mirroring its owner, belongs to Naruto Uzumaki. The world's hero. The most determined ninja ever known. A ferocious boy who achieved his dream; his best friend back in the village. Now, only a dull, somewhat used carcass of who he was. Hiding from the world and its cruel truths and unfairness under a bundle of old blankets. You must be asking yourself… What happened?
Flashback/
"I have decided." announced the stoic Sasuke Uchiha, after the First Hokage finished talking. Now, after Hashirama Senju answered his question, the question that brought back all the dead Hokages from their last slumber, Sasuke seemed to have made up his mind.
"And what is that decision, Sasuke-kun?" slithered the snake-like man.
"I finally understand my dear brother's reasons. I see how much he did for this world, that he was the perfect example of a shinobi and what it meant to him. Also, how much it affected him. That is why, I will not rest until Konoha's two, old and foolish advisors will die at my hand!"
"Sasuke!" exclaimed the Third.
"Such thing is expected from an Uchiha, seeing as their only way is shrouded in darkness and hatred." the Second Hokage retorted, his deep, strong voice painfully resounding the truth in everyone's ears.
The First Hokage's expression saddened and the Fourth had a forlorn look upon his handsome face.
"However, I no longer want to destroy Konoha, as I want to respect Itachi's memory." continued the last remaining Uchiha.
"Then what will you do?" asked Tobirama Senju, sceptically raising an eyebrow at the Uchiha in front of him, while the rest of Sasuke's team looked upon the conversation with gaping mouths and wide, disbelieving eyes.
" I have been so naive that I made it ridiculously easy for Madara to fool me. He only used me for his own schemes and I plan on showing him that he can't just play with my mind and get away with it." replied Sasuke, as his Sharingan activated and the air around them seemed to drop in temperature.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Sasuke-kun." intervened Orochimaru. After all, if you don't want to destroy Konoha anymore, who will?" asked Orochimaru as he prepared to block out the Hokage's personalities. However, instead of getting the desired effect, he got a feeling that chilled his bones. The unmistakable feeling he got when talking with the Hokages. The unmistakable feeling of loosing control over the three Hokage's, just like it first happened with Hashirama, who currently had a small smirk on his face.
As Orochimaru decided that fleeing was the best option, and Sasuke realised what happened, Tobirama quickly appeared in front of Orochimaru while doing some hand seals and thrust his palm against the shocked Sannin's forehead. Just like that, Orochimaru's body became boneless and he crumpled to the floor.
"What did just happen?! Did you kill him?" Karin's shrill voice screamed while she hid behind Juugo's towering frame.
"Don't be stupid." the Second Hokage snorted rather uncharacteristically. "Killing him would also mean us going back" continued Tobirama as he glanced towards the other Kage. "And I don't think we are done here yet."
"Indeed, I never thought things would get this bad" said Sarutobi Hiruzen while he shook his head in disappointment. "I have to say though, I'm curious. If Orochimaru's not dead, then what did you do to him, Tobirama-san?"
"The jutsu I have performed has put him in a comatose state that only I can wake him up from."
"Nothing less from the great Second Hokage" said Minato Namikaze as he grinned at Tobirama.
"So now Uchiha, do you plan on helping Konoha against Madara? I am pretty sure this is what me, my brother and the rest are planning on doing. I have to finish Madara once and for all." announced Hashirama with a determined look in his eye.
"No. I just plan on making Madara pay for how he dared play me. I have nothing to do with Konoha until Homura Mitokada and Koharu Utatane lie dead at my feet." replied Sasuke as he clenched his fists. Before any of the Hokage could say anything to him, he turned towards his team. "Are you coming with me?"
"Of course I will come with you Sasuke-kun!" Karin exclaimed enthusiastically as she glued herself to Sasuke's side.
Sasuke already knew the answer as he looked in Juugo's eyes. Suigetsu just gave Sasuke a smirk and said:
"Let's leave some mouths hanging!"
Sasuke just answered with his own smirk and proceeded in walking outside and towards the battlefield where he could feel Naruto and Kyuubi's chakra flaring dangerously.
I hope it wasn't too bad, and I would love reviews to know if I should continue it or not and constructive criticism please. Don't be harsh! xD
