Homecoming
It wasn't supposed to be this way
His blade was a blur, opening the stomachs of two Sound foot soldiers without breaking stride as he dashed down an alley.
The roofs are too obvious, so as long as there aren't any new dead ends it shouldn't be a problem…
Bursting out of the alley and onto the High Street, he found 15 Sound chunin waiting for him.
Word traveled that fast huh…I guess my defection wasn't as subtle as I'd thought…
It wasn't like the movies, they didn't charge one at a time. These were squads and they worked as one. Regardless of their formation, he flowed around their defenses like water poured into glass full of ice, finding the tiniest gap and then rupturing organs or severing arteries with his bare hands. The dropped like flies, until he was alone surrounded by death. Flicking blood from his fingertips, he resumed his breakneck pace towards Acadamy. But time had fogged his memory and eventually he was lost. He decided to risk the roofs to gauge his course.
Sneak in, kill the targets, and leave, that was how it should have gone down…
In two leaps he reached the skyline, and stared in shock as Konoha burned. Screams echoed across the village, and the sounds of battle were everywhere. They had worked faster than he could have imagined. He was horrified to see his…home…yes, it was his home so desecrated. The rage he felt upon seeing it being razed to the ground left no doubt to that.
And no matter what I say or do, I had a hand in starting this…
His eyes caught the shimmer of a concealment jutsu just in time to dodge the "wind sword" of an Akatsuki shock trooper. The shinobi created two Kage Bunshin as he readied another jutsu.
"I guess your eyes aren't all their cracked up to be if you couldn't see this coming." He
tittered, indicating the destruction around them."I mean, could you be any stupider?" The laugh slowly died as his clones were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
He felt a sharp pain, and looked down to see a nodachi jammed through his sternum. He looked upon his red-eyed opponent in amusment,
" So what does this make you now Uchiha? A traitor of traitors?" The nameless shinobi chuckled.
"At least this time I'm doing it for the right reasons!" Sasuke hissed as he booted the dying soldier from the roof. He didn't wait to here the tell-tale crunch to make sure of his enemies demise. He was already speeding towards his destination, his direction reaffirmed by the higher view.
"Danzo and the Sandaime's aides," he growled at his true opponent, lurking somewhere in the village "Those were the targets, and then you do this…damn you Madara!" He blazed his way to the Acadamy, cutting down any who stood in his way.
As much as I hate to admit it, I can't do this without that idiot…I only hope he listens.
