Chapter 1

A/N: Umm, hello. This is just my imagination. I don't mean to offend anyone and well, please enjoy. If you don't like it, don't read. This story might be what some call cliché and lame, but as I said, this is my storyline, though I do borrow Naruto-verse. Thank you for anyone who reads and kind enough to review. Please note that grammar is not really my forte and you can correct me in the reviews! ^^ Thank you in advance.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and anything related to the original story.

Sasuke succeed in destroying Konoha, by taking out the people he was after. After all, a body without a good head is just a useless body. Down at his feet was the now lifeless blond that had chased him for years. Not far from Naruto, lies former teacher, Kakashi-sensei, former teammate, Haruno Sakura and the ANBU root who was just learning the meaning of emotions, little by little, Sai. Tsunade was poisoned to death, only yesterday. He had no grudge against the legendary sannin, but he can't afford her living. She would rebuilt Konoha, he never doubt that. Poisoning was cowardly but he didn't care. It gets the job done and more importantly, it accomplishes his vengeance. As for the council, well, he had fun torturing them to death, playing with their mental and physical. He made them beg, beg for him to end their miserable and pathetic life. He had refused at first, just to destroy them to infinity. They tried suicide, which did not work, of course. He was always there, watching, making sure they are alive, with pain all too clear to them. And when they finally lose it, he relished in killing them. Why, in their insanity, they turn into a childlike behaviour. So, when he was killing them, it was fun hearing their plea for mercy and all. And then, there was nothing. They are dead.

The cloud was over his head now, with thunder, warning that it will rain. Now, in the gloomy training area, where Team 7 first trained with Kakashi-sensei, as his head and heart cleared from all the hatred, guilt and sorrow started to wash down on his long forgotten humanity, conscience and most of all, his Will of Fire. Tears started to well in his eyes, and as if on cue, the sky started to cry heavily with him. It pours over the bodies in front of him, washing them, cleaned them like the pure hearted people they were. All that Itachi had to sacrifice, believing in him, the trust Naruto had in him, Kakashi and Sakura's hope in him, had been in vain. It was all because of his stupid revenge. Damn revenge, blackened his heart to what truly matters. He knew that he should face the music of his own doing, but he can't seem to accept the fact that his friends and family had to suffer the music with him. It was wrong and there's no turning back. At that, his mind started to drift away, insane with grief and guilt. Just a second before totally losing it, something pulled him back to reality. Well, rather than something, it was a memory. He focused into the memory as if his life depends on it.


Flashback

Sasuke watched as Orochimaru dismissed the medic-nin with the newly acquired scroll, The Forbidden Justsus. "I already know everything I have to know. Now put that down and prepare to help me, I have new experiments to indulge. This will be fun!" Orochimaru said that with a playful glee as he cuts open the fresh corpse in front of him. He grimaced at the sight. That night, Sasuke took the scroll and begin searching for new dangerous jutsus he can learn to be more powerful. He scrolled the list of jutsus, ignoring ones he deemed useless for his vengeance, including the time travel jutsu. After he finished, to make sure no one else gets their hands on the scroll, he sealed it in a place no one would expect much less suspects it being there.

End of flashback


Sasuke blinked for a few moments. The time jutsu! That's right; he could go back and fix everything! Funny thing was that, this was exactly where he sealed the scroll. Hope kindred in him and his Will of Fire burnt furiously, as did his spirit. It soared at the thought he would get a chance to save the people he loves. He knows that altering the time would also meant that the now powerful Sasuke will cease to exist, and he was fine with that. This power and an accomplished vengeance were what he would call nothing to lose, only gains. So, why the hell should he not? He remembered the people who had always believe in him; Itachi, Naruto, people who had always hoped he would still be who he was; Kakashi-sensei, Sakura but it was all in vain. He was too stupid to see the truth, the futility of all the hatred that had filled his heart and head. He also recalled that romance was not a luxury he could afford in the pursuit of revenge, though he did remember, there was a time before he was consumed with hatred, he did in fact, had a person whom he adored and if entertained, would eventually turn into love. Sasuke chuckled fondly at that. Now, as Naruto had believed in him, he willed himself to believe in himself. He would rest for the night for tomorrow, his mission begins. Sasuke smiled and for one moment, he just stood there, letting the rain cleanse him, his mind and his heart. He made a makeshift tent there and had arranged the bodies neatly, as to respect them. 'I'll make it up, guys!' he thought, the last one before he drifted to sleep, dreaming of his mission. His one last shot at redemption, and he knows that, this is a golden opportunity. Not many people get the chance like he did. He could not and would not mess with this shot.

A/N: Well, that is it so far. How was it? Please review to tell me what you think, grammar correction or anything at all! Anyhow, I kinda wanna know whether I should just stop or continue. Tell me, okay? I figured maybe it sucks and if you guys think so, please do tell me. I will consider stopping if there's no one wanna read this. On the other hand, I'll try my best to write if there is even one reader who is interested to read this. Whatever it is, thank you for taking time to even read this fiction! .
