First off, I'd like to start out by thanking you for taking the time to read this story. This is my very first fanfiction that I started on back in October, but just worked up the nerve to post it like ten minutes ago. The story will be my version of the ending for the series that starts from the Team 7 reunion during the Five Kage Summit arc. Now I'm not good at writing, but I will do my best to make this story an enjoyable read.

Also I don't own Naruto or anything.

Chapter 1 - The Reunion (Teacher vs Student)

The Land of Iron: Forest

Naruto rushed through the snow covered forest, desperately trying to find Sasuke. As he jumped from tree to tree, his thoughts on what he should do when he saw his former teammate began to form in his mind. Before, he thought that handling the young Uchiha would be a simple matter, that all he had to do is find him, and convince him to come back to the village, but things are no longer that easy.

Everything he learned earlier has left him lost and confused. He was beginning to doubt that bringing Sasuke home was a possibility. He wanted to believe that there was still hope, that there was still a chance for things to go back to the way they were before. He still held on to the dream that one day the boy who he considered as his best friend would come home and become part of Team 7 once again, however, if what Madara told him was true, and that Sasuke plans on destroying the Leaf village, then he knew that the possibility of that dream becoming reality were slim to none.

"You want to bring Sasuke back to Leaf, but what if he refused? What if Sasuke attacked the village, then what would you do?" Itachi's words echoed in his head.

At the time, the answer to that had been simple: he would stop Sasuke without killing him, but now, he no longer had an answer. He was beginning to understand that wanting to protect his home without killing his friend was something that just might be impossible, but he wasn't going to give up. He needed to find an answer, and he knew that if he met with the young Uchiha again, he would. Realizing that he was too deep in his thoughts, the orange and black clad ninja pushed them aside and put his focus back on the search.

'When I see him...I'll know what to do when I see him.'

The Land of Iron: Samurai Bridge

Kakashi and Sasuke stood across from each other, preparing themselves for battle. The copy ninja kept focus on his former student as he removed his cloak and pushed up his headband to reveal his Sharingan. The boy in front of him wore an smug smirk on his face, but it soon changed into a scowl when he exposed his implanted eye.

"You listen to me you piece of trash. The Sharingan is a symbol of the Uchiha clan!" the young Uchiha yelled. "A lowlife outsider like you has no right showing that eye off!"

In blind rage, Sasuke ran at Kakashi, throwing a flurry of wild punches and kicks at him. The copy ninja managed to block and evade the young Uchiha's assault and countered with a uppercut to his jaw. He continued his attack, landing a couple more punches to Sasuke's face and a spinning back kick to his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. As the young Uchiha fell to his knees, Kakashi grabbed the boy by his arm and slung him towards the bridge pillar, but he recovered and landed on his feet on the side of the pillar. Sasuke then jumped back towards his former teacher, forming hand seals as he did.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" the young Uchiha launched a massive fireball at his former teacher. Kakashi jumped over it, but Sasuke also jumped up to meet him with his kunai aimed to strike him down. With no time to dodge, Kakashi caught his arm, stopping the attack, and used the boy's momentum to flip him over the bridge. As he fell towards the lake, Sasuke threw the kunai at his former teacher and grazed the side of his forehead, cutting off his headband as he landed back down. Not letting the blood trickling from his wound bother him, Kakashi formed a seal, and two shadow clones appeared. They all ran and dove off the bridge towards his former student, all of them forming hand seals.

"Fire Style: Synergy Jutsu Karura!" He and his clones released a long stream fire that combine into a gigantic dragon of fire.

Sasuke landed on the lake just in time to jump out of the way of the attack, the flame dragon struck the water, creating a huge explosion of stream that began to surround him.

'Damnit. A smokescreen.' his eyes darted back and forth, trying to find any sign of the copy ninja.

Then from behind him, Kakashi came rushing from his cover, with his Lightning Blade aimed right for his back. The boy sensed it coming a mile away and side stepped the attack. He then formed a Chidori, and charged in behind Kakashi, piercing him in the back.

"Got you, Sensei." the young Uchiha whispered, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Tell me...how does it feel to be defeated with your own technique?"

To Sasuke's surprise, Kakashi began to chuckle."Not...sure. Why don't...you tell me."Suddenly, Kakashi's body began to transform into lightning and electrocuted him.

'Shit...He tricked me!?' Sasuke thought. Then the real Kakashi emerged from the water, hitting him with an powerful kick to the chin that sent him flying into the air. The copy ninja followed up on his sneak attack by hitting his student with his own move, the Lions Barrage, sending him flying down into the lake below.

Kakashi landed back down, hoping that his last attack got the job done. Then without warning a giant arm materialized from out the water and tried to grab him. He managed to jump back before it could get a hold on him and landed several yards away.

'What in the world-' he didn't have to finish his thought as Sasuke made his way back to the surface of the river. His Susano'o formed around him, and the monstrous guardian fired an arrow at the copy ninja.

The attack moved too fast for Kakashi to evade it, and he was forced to protect himself by using his Mangekyō Sharingan ability, Kamui, to warp it to another dimension.

'That was close. A second too late and that would've been it for me.' He looked back to where the Uchiha stood. "So that's Susano'o, huh?"

"I can't believe someone like you, someone not born from the Uchiha clan was the able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan!" Sasuke snarled, barely able the contain his rage."You should be grateful to the Uchiha."

Kakashi saw the growing anger written on the boy's face. He looked right into eyes, trying to find anything in them other than hatred. He wanted to believe that there was still some good left in the boy, even if it was just a little bit.

"Sasuke...anger and hatred can't be the only thing left in your heart. Please...look deep inside yourself one more time. I know the truth about Itachi. I know of the things he was forced to do, and the scarfices he had to make. I understand that you want justice for him and your clan, but if you continue down this path, everything that your brother had to endure will be for nothing...and I know that's not something you want."

"Shut up! What do you know, huh!? A piece of garbage like you doesn't know anything!" Sasuke screamed, staring wide eyed at Kakashi. His rage had now finally reaching the boiling point.

Suddenly, he felt something in his mind snap, like there was this great amount of untapped hatred being held back by a dam in his mind, and it just gave way. His head felt like it was going to split in two and he squeezed his eyes shut to block out the images that began to blur together. He began to hear the sounds of laughter, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Naruto, Sakura, and everyone else he knew from the Leaf village standing there, laughing at him, mocking him and his clan. The laughter grew louder and louder, So loud that it began to drive him insane. He covered his ears in an attempt block out the excruciating clacking noise, but the sound of it continued to increase.

"Stop it...Stop...laughing." the boy whispered.

"Sasuke?" Kakashi wasn't sure of what was happening with the young Uchiha. He was beginning to look and sound like he has gone mad, and it was beginning to seriously worry him.

"I SAID STOP IT!" Sasuke screamed "YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY?! ITACHI SACRIFICED EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING FOR YOU ALL! MY BROTHER AND MY CLAN...THEY PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE AND YOU ALL STAND THERE AND LAUGH ABOUT IT?!

Sasuke fury began to power his Susano'o, morphing the violet phantom into a larger, more ominous beast, shrouded in a cloak.

"BUT I'LL SHOW YOU...I'LL SHOW YOU ALL! I'LL TURN THAT LAUGHTER INTO SCREAMS OF ANGUISH AND DESPAIR!"

Sasuke Susano'o went on a rampage. It began to hack and slash wildly at anything in sight with its sword. It destroyed what was left of Samurai bridge with one swing, reducing it into rubble.

'This is bad. He's lost it.' Kakashi thought. He preformed some more hand seals. He couldn't let Sasuke's rampage continue any further. Sakura was still near by and he couldn't let anything happen to her.

"Fire Style: Blaze Ball!" Kakashi fired a enormous fireball that hit Susano'o, but when the smoke cleared, his attack didn't even leave a scratch on it.

Sasuke turned his focus back onto the copy ninja, his face in a twisted mix of rage and insanity. He put on a sinister smile that ran chills down Kakashi's spine.

"YOU...YOU'LL BE THE BE THE FIRST TO LEARN!" Sasuke's Susano'o prepared a more powerful arrow than the last one and pointed it at Kakashi. "Now...DROP DEAD!"

All of a sudden, the giant violet phantom suddenly began disappeared from existence. Sasuke clutched his face, screaming in agony as he fell to his knees. He removed hands from his face and looked back at his former teacher, but everything looked so blurry that he couldn't make out anything.

'My...my vision.'

Sakura, who just finish healing Karin, went to the lake where the battle between Kakashi and Sasuke was taking place. She was determined to put an end to it all. One look into his eyes was all it took for her to see the truth: Sasuke was no longer the boy that she had fell in love with. He was now a heartless human twisted and corrupted by the hatred in his heart, and she knew that no matter how much she wanted to, nothing she said or did could bring him out of the darkness.

She drew her kunai from it's holster, and made her approach behind the boy, preparing to strike him down. She kept telling herself that this was something only she could do, that she was the only one with enough resolve to kill him, but at the same time make sure his death was as painless as possible. For her, it wasn't about stopping a traitor of the village, or preventing war between the Leaf and Cloud. She was going to kill him because she loved him too much to watch him go on like this or to be hunted down and executed like a criminal.

A couple yards away, Kakashi saw the pink haired kunoichi move into position behind Sasuke.

'Damnit' he thought. 'What is she doing!? Why did she come back!?' He tried to run over and stop the her, but the use of his Mangekyō Sharingan earlier left his body feeling weak, and kept him from running as fast as he would have wanted to.

She moved closer behind Sasuke, her kunai a couple feet away from delivering the fatal blow. As she moved in closer, the last memory of them together before he left the village began to flash in her mind.

"Please stay! I begging you"

'No! I can't falter!'

"Please don't go!"

'I have to do this!'

"If you take one more step, I'll scream!"

'...I...I...'

"Sakura"

'Sasuke...I...'

"Thank you..."

It was at that moment she realized that she couldn't do it. Despite everything that told her that what she was doing was right, she couldn't kill the young Uchiha. She couldn't kill the one that stole her heart. She stopped her attack, a mere inch away from stabbing him in the back.

Sasuke sensed the presence behind him and quickly formed another Chidori. he then spun around and charged in at her.

In a blur of orange and black, Naruto flew out of the forest and came to a stop a couple yards from where Samurai Bridge used to be. As he walked around searching for any sign of Sasuke, he couldn't help but feel like something was wrong, like a bad feeling that he couldn't shake. He made his way to what was left of the bridge and stopped when he saw what looked to be his sensei down on the lake.

"Kakashi sensei!"the blond called out to the man as jumped down to the water. As he got close to his teacher he notice that he was frozen in place, his masked face in a mix of terror and disbelief. Naruto turned to see what he was looking at and the boy felt his heart sunk to his feet.

The boy stared in horror as he saw Sasuke with his Chidori pierced through Sakura's chest.

So how was it? If you liked it, let me know. If you didn't, tell me why (sorry Sakura fans) and let me know ways on how I can improve. Saw something I messed up, point it out and I'll fix it. I'll appreciate any and all reviews (as long you're not a jerk about it) so yeah. Go for it.

Also I'm not sure if Kakashi knows Fire Style: Synergy Jutsu Karura. I'm like 89% he doesn't...oh well.

Until next time.
