Hi! I'm a sorta old user on wattpad that recently has decided to write something. Please don't steal my work, I don't mind translating it but whatever you do, please give me credit. XD

I honestly have no Idea how this will turn out..


Sasuke couldn't have been more depressed. Orochimaru and Kabuto had all noticed his stoick face become colder, and the bags under his eyes deepened as each day went on. His blade was dull and his chakra was misused, and the ordinary spark for revenge was barely flickering his eyes. Afraid, the three of them didn't speak a word about it. They figured it was best to keep their mouth shut and eyes open. If things went out of hand, which they were hoping wouldn't happen, they would probably be the ones who he would take it out on.

Sasuke himself couldn't understand what had happened to his original power, his blade, and his urge for revenge on Itachi. It all seemed to just . . . fade away. Of course, he had an idea, but it seemed to distant to be a possibility. And of course his idea was absurd and impossible. He had cut all of his ties with her years before and he made sure that he had no feelings left. However, on some nights, he could still smell her silky black hair, feel her small body tucked safely against his chest, only to awaken to the cold air and the bed of grass beneath him. Sasuke shook his head and stood up, brushing off the imaginary specks of dirt on his outfit.

"Let's go."


"Kakashi Sensei, are you sure about this?" Kayuki Mizukachi tied her hair up into a high ponytail atop her head, "I mean, after all you've just recovered."

"Kayuki, you need to trust me and not worry about me," Kakashi patted her head and gave Kayaki a close eyed smile. She pouted up at him.

"Don't touch my head! I'm literally almost as tall as you!"

"Almost. Almost is very important!" Kayuki laughed and made her way out of the hospital. The wind blew at her hair making it tumble across her face, "There must be a storm coming . . . I should go check on Machi." With her sleek black hair swinging to and fro, Kayaki turned on her heel and made way for her home.

Her long black hair, now reaching past her butt, was special. At night, it transformed and imitated the look of the sky.

"Machi! Here boy!" The tall girl bent down and ruffled the large huskies neck, "Who's a good boy? You are! Yes, you are!" She nuzzled her head against the dogs furry head. Kayaki sat down and leaned against the dogs torso.

"Woof!"

She sighed. Today had been stressful, but it wasn't like she wasn't expecting this to happen. However, it had happened so suddenly, and if it weren't for the practice she had in masking her emotions, she would've broken down there and then. Team Seven had recently gone on a mission to Orochimaru's hideout, but Kayuki wasn't allowed to go on the mission due to her recent knee injury. Lady Tsunade called her today because Team Seven hadn't come back yet so she had a feeling they had a run-in with Sasuke. She wanted Kayuki to run down and check to see what was holding the team up. Just the thought of seeing that boy again frightened her.

For the past three years she spent her time training. Hard. He had left her without saying a word, leaving her behind in a pile of tears. She perfected her skill of masking her emotion so she could appear confident even when she was tearing herself up inside. For three years, she had tried to forget him, his touch, his lips, his hands on her waist, everything. And now, for real she had to forget it. If Kayaki had to be honest with herself, she didn't like Sasuke anymore. And if she did, it clearly wasn't strong anymore because after he had left for power, she had lost almost all feeling for the raven haired boy.

"Machi, what do you think I should do?" Kayuki stroked the dog's fur. She could only imagine what he looked like now, after all he had gotten what he wanted-power. She wondered how strong he had become, whether he thought of her sometimes or completely pushed her away. She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.


"I will be heading out now, milady." The black haired girl bowed and pulled her anbu mask over her face, hazel eyes gleaming through them.

"Be careful Kayuki. Refrain from involving yourself in any fights, avoid them at all costs. Don't even let Team Seven see you." Tsunade bid farewell to the tall girl and watched as she sprinted out the window and swiftly jumped over the rooftops. Kayuki had definitely grown.

Kayuki stopped to pull up her thigh high socks. She wasn't wearing any shoes-they made noise and were a hindrance to the seventeen year old girl. As her trademark look, she had on her gold anklets and the short tunic like top. She was known as rattlesnake killer, because just like how a rattle snake shakes its tail, you could hear the soft jingle of her bells. In her finger less gloves and beneath the sleeves of her tunic, around her forearm, she had senbon safely tucked away, hidden from the enemy's sight. She had another twenty or so around her thighs beneath the tunic.

Kayuki pushed her hair back and rested her hand against her katanas.

"It's getting windy. I better head out fast." Hopping away, the black haired girl dissapeared from Konoha without a sound.


"It's been long, Naruto." The raven haired boy looked down at his ex-teammates and mainly towards the blond haired boy.

"S-Sasuke!" Naruto's eyes widened at the sight of his rival and friend.

"Ah, so you must be Sasuke Uchiha." Sai spoke up looking at Sasuke, squinting because of the sunlight.

"And you? My replacement?"

"I was given a mission by Lord Danzo to kill you. But I'm done with listening to others and from now on, I will listen to myself only. I believe Naruto will help me regain my emotions. I do not know you all that well, Sasuke Uchiha, however Sakura and Naruto must have a reason for protecting you. They want to secure their bonds with you, not break them. " Sai held out his sword in defiance as Sasuke rolled his eyes. Stupid boy.

"Yes, at some point I did want to secure those bonds with them. And that is why I chose to rid myself of those bonds, because I have bonds now which I need. Ones of hatred with my brother." His cold, emotionless eyes looked back at Naruto's crystal blue ones.

"Severing my ass! If you wanted to break the bonds, you should've just killed me three years ago and saved yourself the trouble!" Naruto clenched his fists, angry because his friend was looking down upon him.

"It was a passing whim. I had my reasons, and I don't need to explain it to you." Sasuke quickly made his way in front of Naruto, as the others were stuck in their place, astonished by his newly attained speed.

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura prepared to fight Sasuke and got into a stance.

"Say, Naruto, you dream was to become Hokage, ne? Maybe if you hadn't spent all your time searching for me and spent the time training, you would've been able to achieve your dream sooner." He unsheathed his sword and held it out, preparing to kill the blond boy.

"Some Hokage I'd be if I couldn't even save one friend." Naruto prevented his body from shaking and awaited for the blade to pierce through his skin. He didn't doubt one bit the possibility of Sasuke actually killing him. Naruto shut his eyes, but the blow never came. Instead, he heard the soft jingle of bells and the whiz of a whizzing by Sasuke, narrowly missing his face.

"I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to kill him. Now, if you please, step away from the Jinchuriki."


Well, if you haven't realized already I've decided not to write a story starting from the beginning and instead starting from the reunion of Team Seven in Shippuden.

Please Review and do the stuff that they do on please!
