As the Sky Comes Crashing Down
A.N. ok here is my first fanfic ever so plz be nice to it I worked really hard on it and caution has some hints of shonnen ai, death and some spoilers. Enjoy ^_^
I stood atop of the familiar stone monument as I watched my home village burn to the ground. It seemed fitting for the land of Fire to be destroyed in flames.
Though as one of its founders it pains me to watch it crumble into ashes. Times have definitely changed since the founding of this wretched village. Konoha, a village blinde to war and pain and clouded by its own version of false peace.
The shrill screams of civilians rang in my ears like music played softly on a beautiful ebony grand piano.
The sound of feet running in my direction pulled me away from my train of thought and somewhat startled me.
"Lord Madara," Sasuke breathed heavily trying to catch his breath. Sasuke, like me also held a grudge against konoha ever since he learned the truth about his clan and why they were slaughtered like cattle on a dairy farm. He reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age.
Sasuke was young and arrogant and a born avenger who will one day fight his rival Uzumaki Naruto to the death.
"Yes sasuke?" I turned to look at the boy.
"We have captured the nine tails, my lord," he reported kneeling before me.
"very good, now go and retrieve your cell and then report to our hide-out immediately." I ordered him and continued to watches the village fell from all its glory to a mere pile of smoldering ashes in just a matter of days.
I felt warm tears form in the corner of my eye. 'Why am I crying?' I thought this should be a memorable day for me; the day I finally destroyed konoha, yet the tears that I'm crying are for those I have sacrificed in my own struggle for revenge.
Deidara, he was one of the many sacrifices. He was always my partner and telling me how to be a better akatsuki member. Heh, like I needed it though, after all I am the founder of the akatsuki.
Feelings of regret filled me and besides the regret, I felt… empty. I was nothing more than a hallow shell of my former self and my brother Izuna knew that this would happen. Damn it why didn't I listen to him?
After a while of just mourning and wallowing in self pity I returned to the hide-out and the few remaining members of the akatsuki and I proceeded to unseal the rokudame, Uzumaki Naruto.
The blonde jinchuriki's cries filled the air piercing the silence. His screams were ear-peircing and bone chilling as he screamed at sasuke and I, for we were the ones that destroyed and lead countless attacks on the god forsaken place.
After 7 grueling days we finally unsealed the biju. The body of the jinchuriki fell to the cold stone ground of the cave with a soft thud.
I still don't know why but the emptiness seemed to grow worse when I whatched sasuke run over to the body of the monster and cry.
Sasuke held the body close muttering quiet apologies and 'I love you's' to the corps.
Why did I feel like this. I felt…guilty, but why? Surely it wasn't because of sasuke.
The biju in the statue started to fuse together to create the jyuubi once again. It was now or never. I cast my sharingan on the rising moon. The people were now under a genjutsu that would keep them in false peace while the beast I created ran wild.
Now somewhat satisfied with myself I left the hide-out and started walking towards the crimson red sun set as the sky came crashing down.
