I Lived Until Now

Sasuke sped through the forest, balancing just below the sunlit canopy as he rushed towards the chakra he saw in his mind's eye.

/Itachi's here. He's here. After five long years, after all I've gone through, this is my chance, to end everything that once began./

The now teenage Uchiha was bursting with energy, ready to fulfill what he believed was his destiny.

Being the avenger that he was, revenge was the only thing stopping him from attempting suicide each morning, when he awoke from the obscurity of sleep.

In a flash, Sasuke had the Akatsuki in front of him. Both instantly had their kunai's out as they clashed, sparks flew from not only the chakara within the weapons, but also from the speed Sasuke had been traveling at.

No words were needed here. They had finished their talking the last time they had met, when Sasuke had been 13.

Uchiha's, the same pure blood that ran through their veins now fought against each other, power against power, pushing yet neither moving an inch forwards nor backwards. But for them, there were no such thing as evenly matched.

Here. Now.

This must be the end, the end of the deadly taunt of weakness that changed them both into assassins with unbelievable strengths.

I must win..

I must win..!
