An Addiction.
By: Sayuri Sweetheart.
It was an addiction. Something so cruel, yet so unique, most wouldn't believe it to be true unless they saw it with their very eyes. An addiction that made him furious if he didn't have the object of addiction. An addiction that gave him a reason to live, when no other reasons were found. People gave him other reasons, other chances, other roads to take. Gave him other options to follow, but he was blind. Blind with the need for revenge. The addiction for Power. It drove him. It gave him the reason to live, when no other reasons were found. Other reasons were there though. Staring him right in the face, but again, he's blind remember? Blind with the need for revenge. Nothing else mattered to him as long as his needs were filled.
Betrayal is one word. One simple word that could destroy relationships. One simple word that could break the bonds. Bonds he wanted to be broken. Anything for power, anything. He'd even killed his best-friend. Terrible, ne?
SASUKE!" The blonde roared, his voice deeper than normal. Red chakra, poured from every part of his being. He stood on all fouts, six tails of chakra waving madly behind him. Anger... Sadness... both were written all over his face, showing like an open book. The whiskers on his cheeks were darkened and his eyes were a sinster red. The boy's chakra gave off an evil feeling... a feeling of something unhuman and unforgiving. This feeling... it didn't falter Sasuke, not even a bit. For he knew the truth, he knew where the chakra came from. Ha. It amused Sasuke. The power Naruto was showing off, didn't belong to his so-called 'best-friend'. It belonged to the Kyuubi, Naruto himself was weak. Oh, it amused Sasuke to no end, but of course he didn't show it. Emotions were a sign of weakness. An addiction for power does not have room in it for weakness.
I hate you!!" Naruto screamed, is voice also laced with venom. Sasuke stood up straight up, from the ground, displaying a portrait of scars and scrathes. "You didn't have to kill her!" A tear ran down the boy's face. Naruto stood up also, physically he looked unhurt. The chakra from the Kyuubi healed fast.
Oh, but I did. She shouldn't have gotten in my way." It was as simple as that. Sakura had gotten in the way of his addiction and she paided with her life. Naruto growled, deep from his throat and charged at Sasuke, with a hand in front of him ready to punch Sasuke in the face.
A smirk formed the facial features of the Uchiha. "Hn. Dobe." He whispered, sword drawn in front of himself. Tiny blue sparks crackeled(sp?) from it, just as the blonde edged near. Naruto threw the punch at Sasuke and the Uchiha swung also. There was a slice of the sword and a sickening scream.
Dobe. You're just as weaks as always. Never as strong as me.
Naruto fell to his knees, in front of Sasuke, carefully holding the bloody stub of his wrist. A de-attached hand laid in front of him, blood from aboce dripping down onto it's surface.
Teme... You're my-" He was cut off. His last words.
Yeah. I've heard that many times before."
An addiction for Power, it drove him forward. The need for revenge, it drove him mad.
Sasuke closed his eyes with the smirk still active and stabbed the sword through his 'best-friends' heart, just as it started to rain.
Betrayal. One word. One simple word that has the potential to break all bonds.
With his hair plastered to his head, Sasuke swung the sword once more and Naruto's head fell.
Addiction and Betrayal worked hand-in-hand to feed the addiction to place him closer to power.
Uchiha Sasuke reopened his eyes, the Mangekyo spinning, to look as his work before him. Naruto's blood has splattered against his face and Akatsuki would not be happy. Now to find Itachi...
