Chapter 1 The Oath of Tears
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto
Naruto and Sasuke were standing at the Valley of the End their fight was brutal but now it was time to finish it, Naruto was in his one tail Kyubi form standing on next to the statue of the First Hokage while Sasuke was in his level two curse seal form standing next to the statue of Uchiha Madara. They knew what to do only one way to finish this fight once and for all, for Naruto he wanted to bring the Uchiha back to Konoha so he could fulfill his promise to his pink hair teammate Sakura he made it as a promise of the life time so he was going to fulfill no matter what. For Sasuke it was all about defeating his best friend and brother so he could obtain the power of the Magenkyou sharingan just like his brother Itachi told him to kill his closest friend and he has finally made his choice.
"It's time to finish this dobe any last words before I kill you?"
"No I don't have nothing to say only that I will beat you and bring you back to the village teme one way or the other believe it"
Sasauke growl as he started forming a black color chidori while Naruto started forming a purple rasengan the two charged at each other until their attacks collided.
"RASENGAN"
"CHIDORI"
BOOM
The collision of the two powerful attacks created a black sphere covering both of them until an explosion occurred, Sasuke's chidori was stronger than Naruto's rasengan and pierce his chest hitting his heart. The blond jinchuuriki scream in pain before falling unconscious he heard the Kyubi sealed inside of him made a loud growl of pain before vanishing it has happen the great Kyubi king of the Bijuu's has died, Naruto felt his life fading away he saw his whole life flashing before his eyes all the people who were his friends his precious people. He felt like crying he knew he was dying he only had a few seconds before death claim him he felt regret, pain and sorrow because he won't be accomplishing the things he wanted to.
(No this can't be…..my friends…..my promise….my dream I'm so sorry everyone I'm…..sorry…..Sakura-chan)
Those was his last thought as he closed his eyes and fell to eternal slumber Uzumaki Naruto was dead, Sasuke stood in front of him staring at his lifeless body he felt a horrible pain and sadness he just killed his best friend. The sky started weeping at the loss as the rain hit hard on the half destroyed valley, Sasuke gaze at the soaked fallen body of the blond not caring about his own soaked body even if he gets a nasty cold he was gone forever. It hurt him so much his leaf head band fell silently next to his body while he gave a loud yell that pierce through the heavens, suddenly his eyes shot open and his sharingan took a new form of a shuriken the same way he has activated his magenkyou sharingan the same way his brother did. He hated doing the same thing he did but he didn't have a choice he needs all the power he could get to kill Itachi even if it meant killing his own dear friend, now he was going to get more power by going to Orochimaru he was a sanin so he will be a great teacher to have but deep inside he wasn't proud of the idea of anything for the matter. He let his tears fall while his magenkyou sharingan vanish and replace by his original black color he knelt on his body and pick up his headband he gave it to Naruto holding it with his lifeless hand, it was his way of saying to Konoha that he killed him he wasn't going to hide the truth.
"Goodbye Naruto….goodbye my friend"
With those words left he left his body and the valley heading into a forest going to his destination which was Orochimaru's hideout while feeling the pain he receive from his friend in their fight.
(I will continued to follow my path of vengeance until then I will live on so I can finally kill him)
Near the Valley of the End the mask leaf jounin Hatake Kakashi was jumping through the trees at high speed with one of his summoning dogs Pakkun who was following Naruto and Sasuke by scent, the situation turn worst he has sense the evil chakra of the Kyubi and suddenly vanishing he had a horrible feeling about this. The only thing he was feeling was guilt for not stopping the Uchiha from leaving even by talking to him there was nothing that it could be done to change his mind from leaving and he feels responsible for failing. Now he was running like his life depending on it but somehow he knew that it was too late the second he felt the Kyubi's chakra vanishing.
"Were almost there" Pakkun said.
Kakashi nodded keeping his sight on the path ahead (please let me make in time Naruto Sasuke please let them be all right)
They finally reach the valley and gasp at the destruction in sight it look like it was hit by a hurricane, Kakashi snap from the sight and started looking for any trace of the two ninjas until his visible eyes widened in shock.
"There" Pakkun said.
The two went down on the ground next to the two statues of the founders of Konoha Kakashi stood next to the body of his student in pure horror he couldn't sense it his life energy he assumed the worst, he put his head on his chest praying to Kami if there was a heartbeat but there was none. He hold his emotions as he got up and gaze at the body of the blond genin, while Pakkun started sniffing the headband he was holding.
"It's Sasuke's"
Kakashi ignore him of course he knew he was the one responsible for this act and he regrets for coming late he was too late to save both of them, Sasuke was already gone and by now he probably left the fire country taking the evil path of the snake sanin and Naruto was gone forever. He saw the face of the lifeless Naruto and notice his whiskers were gone it was the birthmark given to him when the fourth Hokage sealed the Kyubi inside of him, and once again he has failed like he did with his friend Obito and Rin but most importantly he failed his teacher for not protecting him.
(I'm sorry sensei I failed to protect your only son I hope you can forgive me)
Pakkun could see the sadness and sorrow in his visible eye even if he was wearing a mask he could tell that the mask ninja was holding his tears for the death of his student.
"Kakashi let it out there's no need to hold your pain"
"No even if it's a terrible loss ninjas aren't allowed to cry that's one rule I will follow to the end"
"That's enough you may be a ninja but you're still human so it's okay to grief over Naruto's death"
"Don't worry there will be plenty of people crying over him (and sadly there will be people who will be glad that he's gone)
Without another word said he pick up the blond genin's lifeless body and carry it on his back gazing at the two giant statues ahead.
"How ironic isn't it?" the ninja dog said.
"Yes of all places they have to fight here the valley of the end the same place where our two founding fathers fought to the death and it's ironic when you look at it Uchiha Madara and the first Hokage were the best of friends like brothers and in the end Madara chose the path of darkness just like Sasuke, I guess it's true what they say about history repeating itself let's go back Pakkun"
The dog nodded as they jump from the valley and left heading into the forest ahead suddenly from the ground came a man with a fly Venus trap on his head and the face of the man had two sides' one color black and the other color white he was also wearing a black cloak with red clouds.
"I don't believe it the Kyubi jinchuuriki is dead" the white half said.
"So it seems what we are going to do now?" the black half said.
"There is no point in collecting the Bijuu's now"
"Let's report back to leader-sama"
The plant man went back to the ground and vanished from sight.
At the forest heading back to Konoha Kakashi was carrying the dead Naruto followed by Pakkun until they were surrounded by the Konoha medical team.
"What is the status of the other genins?" Kakashi said.
"Well Nara Shikamaru only receive a broken finger Rock Lee has a minor injury Inuzuka Kiba has a deep wound but it's not life threatening, however Hyuga Neji and Akimichi Chouji are in critical condition and almost at the brink of death"
"I see" he said in a lifeless tone.
"What about Naruto Kakashi?" the medical ninja said looking at the blond genin on his back.
The mask jounin stood quiet for a moment before answering" he's…dead"
The medical gasp in shock at the revelation and by now it was too late to do anything about it to help the blond, they didn't said another word as they continued to head back to the leaf village.
(Today is going to be a tragic day in the history of Konoha) Kakashi thought.
Later at Konoha hospital
Sakura enter the building holding two bouquets of flowers she was told that the group that was send to retrieve Sasuke have finally return and she couldn't be any happier, she knew that Naruto has fulfill his promised to her in bringing the Uchiha back. She never thought about it but now she realize that she was so happy to have a friend like him so besides buying flowers for Sasuke she also bough flowers for him, now that they were both back they were going to return in being team seven once again. She finally reached the reception desk with a big smile on her face dying to see her two teammates again.
"Excuse me which room is Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke staying at"
The nurse check the patients list and shook her head" I'm sorry but we don't have anybody with those names here you should check in later"
Sakura was now confuse she was told that the group has arrived and they were being treated so why wouldn't they be on their patient list, that's when she saw Ino heading her way holding a basket full of fruits, she smirk knowing exactly whom she was going to visit.
"Hey Ino pig are you going to visit Chouji?"
The blond smirk" forehead what was your first clue was it the fruit basket it is Chouji he will rather eat a fruit basket rather than flowers"
She giggle at her comment" that's nice of you"
Ino notice the two bouquets" what about you are you going to give those flowers to Sasuke-kun?"
"Huh no I'm only going to give him one the other is for Naruto" she smile while Ino was given her a shocking look" what?"
"Okay let me see you're going to give flowers to Naruto what's wrong with this picture I mean you could care less about him"
Sakura was upset by her comment" what of course I care about him he's my teammate I'm not going to leave him hanging were a team after all"
"Hey don't get upset it's just that you never like him in the first place ever since we were little you couldn't stand him"
The young genin stood quiet but smile" maybe I used to dislike him I thought he was a talentless idiot who didn't have what it takes to be a ninja but ever since the chunin exams I was so wrong he has the potential to become a great ninja and I think he's going to fulfill his dream of becoming Hokage, and after what he has done for me in bringing Sasuke-kun back I'm glad he is my friend"
Ino was more shock" okay who are you and what have you done to Sakura?"
Sakura gave her an annoy look" look Ino pig I'm not going to keep talking to you I want to visit them but the nurse told me that they weren't even on the list for check up patients I wonder where they are?"
"Really that's strange maybe you should ask Tsunade-sama she's here I think she's checking up on Kiba"
"Okay I'll go there"
"Hey wait up I'm coming too"
She nodded while leaving the reception desk while walking the halls of the hospital they reach the corridor of the rooms, they saw Kakashi with Tsunade and the sand siblings Gaara, Temari and Kankurou and they didn't look one bit happy. Sakura saw the looks in their faces the three sand siblings were in a state of depression especially Gaara while she couldn't tell Kakashi because of his mask, but she saw the look of the female Hokage and she was crying hard making her think why would she be crying so much.
"Tsunade-sama everyone what's going on?" Sakura said.
The group turned to see Sakura and Ino coming to them.
"What's wrong?" Ino said.
Tsunade was still crying and that's when she saw that she was holding a familiar necklace, Sakura notice it was the same necklace that Naruto wears which something serious must have happened to make the female Hokage cry.
"Please don't tell me did something happen to everyone?" she said with fear in her voice.
"No Sakura the genin group is all right Shizune and the medical team is treating Neji and Chouji because they are the ones who are in critical condition but the others are just fine they don't have any serious injuries" Kakashi said.
She felt relief for a second until it occurred to her" Sasuke-kun and Naruto where are they are they all right?"
At first she was confuse when she saw the three sand siblings and Tsunade growling in anger when they heard the name of the Uchiha Kakashi was the only one who was quiet and didn't look like he was angry at all, something was really wrong she had this horrible feeling in her gut and she was praying that it wasn't what she was thinking.
"Please are they all right where are they?" she said while tears were forming in her eyes.
"Sakura calm down?" Ino said but it was futile the pink hair genin was at the brink of tears at the sudden realization to why would Tsunade be crying and holding Naruto's necklace.
Kakashi look at Tsunade and knew that she was in no condition to say anything after the pain she was feeling so it seems he was going to be the one to deliver the horrible news to his student, he took a deep breath while looking at her jade eyes while a few tears were falling.
"Sakura….Sasuke got away he left to join Orochimaru" he saw that she was shock but now she was more horrified her lips were trembling now she was more scare than before expecting to hear the worst.
"And Naruto where is he?" her voice breaking into a soft sob.
He was quiet as he felt more depressed for being the one to tell her but he needed to do this" Sakura…Naruto is…dead"
Her eyes widened in pure shock the revelation took her like a kunai stabbing her heart over and over again more tears were now falling as she hope that it wasn't true, for a moment she thought she was having a nightmare and maybe she will wake up soon she will see both Naruto and Sasuke standing before her. But she face the fact that this was no dream it was happening Sasuke got away and Naruto was gone how could this be happening to her in just one day she has lost both of her teammates, she started sobbing while Ino try to calm her even if was hopeless the poor girl was broken by the news.
"I'm sorry Sakura I know it hurts I was too late to stop them from fighting but it was Sasuke the one who killed him apparently he used chidori hitting his heart Naruto receive a quick death" Kakashi said in tone revealing anger for teaching the Uchiha his jutsu the same jutsu he used to kill him.
Sakura was shock while crying she couldn't believe it, was true she never thought that Sasuke would be capable to kill Naruto, she knew that both of them had a rivalry but they were good friends like brothers there was no way he will killed him. She then remember when they fought at the hospital a few days ago that they were about to use their powerful attacks on one another, she knew if Kakashi hadn't stop them they would have killed each other in the process but now it was too late to stop them and Naruto paid the ultimate price with his life.
"I….can't believe Sasuke-kun would do that it can't be why would he do it…." she said between sobs.
"Naruto eventually catch up to Sasuke before he was on his way to go to Orochimaru and fighting was inevitable so a intense fight occurred, in the end Naruto lost and he got away I hate myself for arriving too late I should have been faster" Kakashi said his anger rising.
"That's enough Kakashi it wasn't your fault" Tsunade said speaking for this first time her tears still falling" I'm even surprise you were able to make it at such a speed what is done is done we can't change the past as much as it pains me Naruto is gone we will held his funeral in four days from today Gaara thank you for your help" she turn to the red hair teen.
"It's was no problem we have a big debt to pay with the leaf to be potential allies, also I will be forever grateful to Uzumaki Naruto for helping me become a better person to live a better life well Tsunade-sama me and my siblings we'll take our leave but we will remain in Konoha to attend to his funeral" he bow with Temari and Kankurou while leaving the hall.
"There's no need for me to be here I want to say my goodbyes to Naruto right now" Tsunade said.
"You're going to visit the morgue?" Kakashi said.
"Tsunade-sama I'm going with you" Sakura said while drying her tears.
"Are you sure the morgue is not a place for a genin to be?"
"I don't care I want to see him just for one last time please"
Tsunade sighed" all right but you will cry again"
"I know but I need to see him" she said in a pleading tone.
"Very well oh and Kakashi can you…."
"Tell the genins about Naruto yes it seems I am now the messenger of bad news"
"I'm sorry to put you for such a task"
"It's all right I will start with Shikamaru since he was the only one who receive a minor injury"
"Wait Kakashi sensei I want to come too" Ino said following the mask jounin nodded while Tsunade and Sakura left to the morgue.
"I have never seen Sakura so sad before she really is hurt" Ino said in a soft tone.
"She just lost a friend and a teammate believe me the pain of losing a teammate is very painful take it from me" Kakashi said.
Ino gaze at him with curiosity at his words (did he experience the same thing?)
At the morgue Tsunade and Sakura enter the building and Sakura immediately got that horrible smell coming from the entire building the smell of death, she felt sick to her stomach but she needed to do this she needed to see Naruto one last time for old times' sake. They reach the reception desk and they were greeted by the receptionist as soon as she saw the female Hokage she lead them to one of the rooms where they dead bodies are store, the woman open one of the doors revealing the body of Uzumaki Naruto. Sakura went to tears again as she began to cry seeing the lifeless body of her blond teammate while Tsunade was quiet the tears were forming again, Sakura continued to cry feeling guilty for his death while Tsunade went next to him.
"Once again this stupid necklace have taken another precious person from me" she tighten her hold on the first Hokage's necklace" why……why you Naruto you've never did anything wrong in your life you just wanted to become Hokage and protect everyone so why is that you have to die….I really believe you were going to fulfill your dream you've always made the impossible possible I mean you master rasengan in just one week when it took the fourth Hokage three years to master it no ninja can't do that, dear Kami I'm going to missed you so much you were a little brother and a son to me…" she began to sob while Sakura was feeling the guilt eating to her soul.
She cried while thinking about him she started remembering all the times she rejected him ad all the things he did for her, when he cheer for her at the preliminaries of the chunin exams hearing his cheering gave her the strength to overcome Ino's mind transfer jutsu the time when he saved her life from Gaara and when he saved her life again from drowning on the mission to the Tea country. She finally remember the biggest thing he did for her the promised of the lifetime he made her that lead to his death at the hands of the Uchiha, she couldn't get his words out of her head.
(Don't worry Sakura-chan I will bring back Sasuke it's a promised of the lifetime believe it)
(It's all my fault….he's dead because of me if I never made him do that stupid promise he would've never go after him and he would still be alive, he knew how much I love Sasuke and yet he went after him and now he's dead because of me it's ALL OF MY FAULT he will never smile at me or give me that stupid grin he always did oh Kami I missed him so much. I just wish I could tell him how sorry I am I don't know if he will ever forgive me I send him to his death I am responsible for killing him as much as Sasuke)
Suddenly rage filled her thinking about the Uchiha she started thinking about him unlike Naruto he never did anything for her, he never gave a damn about her he has told her she was annoying twice nor he has ever showed the proper respect to treat her. She then felt more anger consumed her remembering the night he left the village when she confessed her love for him and he rejected her like he didn't care calling her annoying and knocking her out cold, she wonder how in the world could she have love a power hungry coldhearted bastard like him in the first place when the truth was that he was never worthy of her time. She then imagine him stabbing his chidori right through Naruto's heart killing the blond, more tears fell from her jade eyes as she felt anger and the hatred flowing inside of her.
(I should have never made him made that promise to me because it was a waste of time to be made Sasuke never care for me nor he respected me like I did he has always thought of me as weak and annoying, and now I send Naruto to his death thanks to him and it was all because of my selfish wishes. It's my fault he's gone and now it's time that I take matters into my own hands he did this that goddamn Uchiha bastard did this to him and I will never forgive him for as long as I live he will pay)
Tsunade continued to cry while giving a fake smile" well it's time say goodbye Naruto I just wish you would have at least fulfill your dream in becoming Hokage but now that won't be happening I will missed you dearly, and don't worry I will give you an honorable funeral" she called for the receptionist and she closed the body back.
The two left the building while Tsunade gaze at the pink hair genin with concern.
"Are you all right Sakura?"
"Huh yes Tsunade-sama I'm fine don't worry about me I just need some time alone" she said in a whisper.
"I know how you must be feeling but I'm pretty sure he wanted us to be strong and happy he didn't wanted us to cry for his death so Sakura be strong"
"I know Tsunade-sama thank you I'll see you later" she then left while Tsunade headed to the Hokage tower.
(It's time that I set things right Naruto must be avenge I won't let things stay like this I will have revenge by killing you Uchiha Sasuke if it's the last thing I do as of today I will walk your path Uchiha the path of an avenger)
At Konoha hospital Kakashi Ino were in a room with Rock Lee who only receive minor injuries along with Shikamaru they went to visit Kiba whose wounds were treated already next to his bed was a small bed where his dog Akamaru was resting since his injuries were treated too. The whole room was quiet no one said a word until Kakashi told them the horrible news of Naruto's death Lee had tears in his eyes he has consider the blond ninja a good friend since he first meet him at the chunin exams, Kiba was angry not believing that he was really gone like Lee he has also thought of Naruto as a friend. But the one person who was feeling worst was Shikamaru the chunin became depressed as soon as he heard the news, he couldn't help but feel guilty for his death since he was the one who was in charge of the retrieval mission. As for Neji and Chouji by now Shizune and the medical team have finished treating their wounds and they were resting peacefully they will be all right, they will be one of the last people to know about Naruto.
"I can't believe Naruto-kun is gone…..he was such a youthful friend" Lee said while sobbing.
"Some leader I turn out to be what kind of leader gets his friend killed?" Shikamaru said in a depressed tone.
"Now that's enough Shikamaru" Ino said in a scowl facing her teammate" this wasn't your fault"
"It was my responsibility as team leader to protect them and I let everyone down I got Chouji and Neji almost kill and Naruto is dead I failed I'm not good enough to be a chunin I….."
SLAP
The group was shock to see Ino slapping the chunin with all her strength leaving her hand mark on his cheek let's just say he was lucky that Tsunade wasn't the one who didn't slap him. Shikamaru rub his painful cheek while staring at the Yamanaka who was angry with him he could feel a lecture coming from her.
"It wasn't your fault you did the best you could kami I rather see you being lazy than feeling guilty for something that it was completely out of your hands so stop whining" a few tears were forming at the corner of her aqua eyes.
The Nara only sighed not wanting to make her any angrier than she already is" Ino you're still so troublesome"
She smile at his comment" looks like you're back to normal that's good I was starting to get worry"
"Ino is right Shikamaru" Kakashi said getting the attention of the group" this mission was too dangerous and unpredictable it was futile not to have any injure or any casualties in fact I'm very impressed at how this mission turn out for your first mission as a chunin any other rookie chunin would have gotten his entire team killed because he didn't have the experience, but you Shikamaru you did a good job out there I'm very proud of you and I'm sure Asuma is also proud of you"
"If that suppose to make me feel better than I guess it helps a little but It can't change the fact that Naruto is dead and also if it wasn't for the forces of Suna there was no way we could have survive this mission all of us would have been kill"
"True but in the end you all prove to be worthy ninjas who stood and fought until the end, also Naruto would have been proud of all of you" the mask jounin said with a smile.
Shikamaru felt his tears forming at the corner of his eyes he growl in his mind he didn't wanted to cry again just like when he was talking to Temari, he felt embarrassed that she saw him cry to him it was a pretty pathetic sight but he couldn't hold them any longer and let them fall.
"Kakashi sensei….thank you"
"I will forever remember Naruto-kun his flame of youth will burn forever" Lee said while trying to dry his tears.
"Oh for crying out loud" Kiba said speaking for the first time he was obviously upset" Shikamaru it wasn't your fault so stop feeling guilty it was HIS fault…..that bastard Sasuke he killed Naruto, all that Naruto wanted was to bring him back to the village and look how he repaid him by killing him I swear that bastard is going to pay" he tightened his hold on his sheets and pretty soon tears started falling from his eyes he was going to miss the blond because he was one of the few people who became good friends with him when he was a kid along with Chouji and Shikamaru.
The group gaze at him and they couldn't blame him for feeling that way and they all agree with him they finally realized what the Uchiha was really like a cold hearted murder and a traitor, Ino lost completely interest in him she wasn't going to someone like him as her boyfriend so her days of a Sasuke fan girl has come to an end. Lee lost all his respect towards him he once consider him a potential rival and friend but after this he was no longer interested in hearing about him the same went with Shikamaru. As for Kakashi well he couldn't bring himself to hate him but he only hated himself for failing him just like he did in the past with his teammates Rin and Obito, he thought that maybe his meant to fail to all of his friends and students maybe he was not a worthy teacher. Without saying another word he left the room and walk out of the halls of the hospital heading to a particular place one of the places of the village where he always visit, the same place where the name of his dear friend Obito is carve and soon Naruto's name will be added the heroes memorial stone.
At the Hokage's office
Tsunade was seated on her desk still crying she has been crying for hours she couldn't stop no matter how hard she try she couldn't stop the tears from falling, she just lost another precious person first her brother Nawaki then her boyfriend Dan and now Naruto. Was she destine to lose all those close to hers every time she gave them necklace of her grandfather the first Hokage this was now the third time she has lost someone close by giving him the curse necklace, she had the sudden urge to crush the necklace with all her insane strength but if she do that she will be destroying something of great value. Next to her desk she had a bottle of sake this were the best moments to drink to let the alcohol heal the pain of her loss when in reality it didn't, however drinking hasn't even cross her mind which was consider a miracle coming from someone like her. Suddenly she felt someone behind her she got annoyed knowing who it was the only person she knew who didn't knew the meaning of suing the door when entering her office.
"You know it wouldn't kill you to use the door for once" she said without looking behind her.
The visitor who was obviously Jiraiya chuckle a little before going next to her" I don't like entering the tower to just go to your office when I can just jump and enter through your window"
"Something's never change" she muttered before a small silence fell between them.
Jiraiys notice the bottle of sake next to her and grab it he was surprise to see that the bottle wasn't empty" so what gives Tsunade there's a full bottle of sake and you haven't drink it yet maybe you're not really Tsunade"
"Honestly for once in my life I don't feel like drinking or gambling for the matter I feel like doing nothing"
The toad sanin wasn't shock to hear this from her she have every right to feel devastated Naruto was someone precious to her just like Nawaki and Dan; she wasn't the only one who was feeling like this he was in the same boat too. A long silence fell between them no one said a word the only thing audible was the soft wind blowing, until Jiraiya broke the silence.
"I failed him" he said flatly.
"Don't say that you did the best you could"
"No I really failed him I should have spend more time with him I should have give him more training I failed him miserably I just wish I could have taken him under my wing sooner since he was little"
"That's enough Jiraiya you knew that you couldn't because you needed to be outside of the village to keep your spy network running, and besides even if you could've been in Konoha I hardly doubt the council would have let you take him as your apprentice let alone adopt him" she said with anger in her voice.
Jiraiya glare while controlling his anger" they knew who he really was from the beginning and yet they hated him so much just because he had the Kyubi sealed in him how….how can they treat the son of the hero of the village with so much hatred and hostility, I truly am a failure first Minato and now Naruto is this suppose too happen every time I have an apprentice I lost the father and now I lost the son if that's the case I should never taken any more students"
"I better get started for the preparations of Naruto's funeral I want everyone to assist every ninja and citizen of Konoha I want them to be present and paid their respects for him for his sacrifice, also Jiraiya at the funeral I will tell them the entire truth about him"
"I see, there is no point in keeping it a secret any longer or obey Sarutobi sensei's law since Naruto's dead go ahead I won't be there though you know I don't like funerals but I will pay my respects to him when the funeral is over"
"This will not stay like this" she said with pure hatred in her voice" Uchiha Sasuke will pay dearly for this from this day on he will be an S rank missing nin I will order the hunter nins to find him and killed him he is no longer part of this village he's nothing but a traitor and a murder, I will also add his information to the bingo books across the five ninja nations he will be a kill on sight target that's all I can do to avenge Naruto's death"
"You know very well the council is not going to be happy with this especially Danzou"
"I don't give a shit what those old farts think I will not let a traitor and murder hide while getting special training from Orochimaru we can't let him have the sharingan before he takes over his body"
"According to the information I have gather Orochimaru's has change body with someone else before Sasuke's arrival looks like he couldn't wait any longer since his arms were injure by Sarutobi sensei so he's safe for now Orochimaru won't be able to do his soul transfer jutsu again for three years"
"I'm not waiting that long I will do whatever it takes that he dies before those three years" she said coldly.
"Well I'm leaving" he said heading to the window.
"Are you going to do some research?" she said in humorous tone instead of an angry one.
He stood quiet for a moment before answering without looking at her" for once in my entire life I don't feel like it" with that he jump from the window leaving a shock Hokage behind.
(Jiraiya you're taking this worst than myself) she thought sadly.
Suddenly she heard a knock on the door.
"Yes what is it?"
The door opened revealing Shizune with TonTon next to her" Tsunade-sama are you feeling better?"
"No I'm feeling worst but thank you for asking Shizune what about you?"
"I'm feeling the same way too" she said sadly.
"I know but anyway why have you come here?"
"Well Haruno Sakura wants to see you she says she wants to talk to you"
"I see then let her in"
"Yes Tsunade-sama"
Sakura enter the office facing the blond Hokage" hello Tsunade-sama"
"Hello Sakura what is it that you want to talk to me about?"
She stood quiet while closing her eyes when she open then again they were filled with pure determination" please Tsunade-sama train me as your apprentice"
Sound village Orochimaru's hideout (rice country territory)
Sasuke was walking the dark corridors lit by candles of the snake sanins lair next to him was Orochimaru's right hand man Yakushi Kabuto who was leading him to see him after arriving. The Uchiha was still feeling the pain in his heart for killing his best friend but it didn't matter now it was over and there was no point in looking at the past, he did it for a good reason at least to him it was to obtain the next level of the sharingan and bring him one step closer to kill his brother Itachi. They finally reach a double door when Kabuto open it he saw the snake sanin Orochimaru seated in his throne but there was something different about him, his whole face was cover in bandages except for his eyes and his hair was no longer his original long black hair but it was short blond. Sasuke remember seeing him back at chunin exams and he this person didn't look like the real Orochimaru, doubt started rise over him until Kabuto went near him.
"Don't get any doubts that is really Orochimaru-sama he just recently change bodies so watch your tongue when you speak to him" he whisper to the Uchiha.
Sasuke ignore him while he only paid to the person in front of him the one who gave him the curse seal mark.
"Welcome Sasuke-kun I was expecting you"
Sasuke glare at him" let's get one thing straight I only came to you because I need power and you're the only one who can give it to me I didn't came to you to be your friend or your pawn like all of your men I want power now so I can kill Itachi and avenge my clan"
"Sasuke I told you to watch your mouth when speaking to him" said an angry Kabuto.
"Enough Kabuto I'm glad that's how you feel that's why I'm going to give you power beyond your wildest dreams I already gave you the curse seal mark, from now on Sasuke-kun you will be my apprentice I will teach you everything I know I just hope you didn't have trouble coming here" he said with a small hint of amusement in his voice.
Sasuke stood quiet instead he show him his new magenkyou sharingan while he gave a grin.
"So you have obtained the magenkyou sharingan wonderful you must have killed someone close to you to achieve it"
He growl" I did I killed my best friend I won't allow you to disrespect his good name or else"
"Sasuke" Kabuto said in a growl because he was threatening his master.
"That's quite al right Kabuto I have no problem with that well then Sasukekun should we get started with the training?"
Sasuke didn't said a word he left the chamber with Kabuto following him and Orochimaru got up from his throne and follow the two he gave a wicked grin.
(Yes my future is with this boy soon I will have the sharingan)
