Light that Breaks Darkness
By: Silverwolf
Sasuke heard a yell around him. He'd been slowly releasing the bonds when he began to listen to the noise around him. The only things he could tell as he wasn't among Root anymore. He hadn't expected to hear the voice of a kunoichi. Though he knew her voice well now. She was the only one willing enough to deal with cleaning up the mess he'd been left I. She had plainly told him before she didn't treat people. The reply she'd gotten from Sasuke only left him feeling a tear fall. She hadn't explained.
In time she had her own stories to tell, but only when it was only her close to Sasuke. He still didn't understand her reasons for placing herself near him continuously.
An ANBU member begins to make the trip towards Tsunade. She had woke after Danzo's death. Her order had been to hold the Uchiha. Sasuke had not challenged them thus far. And currently the kunoichi that had pleaded for Sasuke's life to be spared was in labor early.
Sasuke continues to loosen the bonds. H cloud hear screaming. The noise told him something was happening. While everyone was busy with whatever crisis was at hand for them Sasuke's mind now focused on the noise. What could be going on? Sasuke begins to try anything he can to be rid of the blindfold. After a while or working at it a pair of onyx eyes focus in the dim light.
An ANBU appears holding what looks like a doll. Several ANBU discuss how to tell the limp child's mother he hadn't took a breath. Someone places the child against a table. Closed eyes are almost hidden by raven hair. The pair trying to confirm the child's death are a bit shocked as Sasuke's hand reaches through the bars of the cell. "When did he..." "It doesn't matter, we owe Hana the body of her child." As the ANBU begin to open the cell they hear something from the cell. Onyx eyes narrow as the sound continues. The wrapped bundle is held by the rogue Uchiha. Sasuke looks at the bundle against him. "Itachi?" The whisper goes unnoticed as the ANBU member realize the newborn is the noise they hear. Sasuke stares at the ANBU squad as they begin to prepare their assault for the infant.
Sasuke looks at them, "I will give it back to it's mother only." The ANBU squad stops unsure of how to answer. They are silent as Tsunade appears. "Lady Hokage." Tsunade looks at Sasuke. "You plan to harm that child?" Sasuke holds the newborn against him. Onyx eyes seem to focus focus back even though the newborn's eyes can't possibly focus yet. "I said I would give him to his mother. It's your choice on if he lives or dies now." Tsunade looks at Sasuke, "if I take you to the infant's mother then you'll give her the infant. After that you'll go back into the cell." Sasuke looks at Tsunade through narrowed eyes. "I will let the child's mother decide that."
Tsunade allows Sasuke to step forward. The Uchiha doesn't appear to be looking at anyone but the infant. There's a sigh of relief when the infant is placed in Hana's arms. Sasuke watches slightly as Hana holds her son. "Toboe...Inuzuka Toboe." Someone pulls Sasuke away. "Let him stay. He owes me an explanation. You told me he was dead." Sasuke looks at Hana; the kunoichi notices the small faded marks around Sasuke's eyes. "You weren't born with those eyes. The became yours later." Sasuke watches the infant in Hana's arms. "They once belonged to Itachi." The Uchiha's hand ends up against the child. Hana closes her eyes briefly. "To explain to you would be pointless. All I care to share is the jutsu started his heart. It was his choice to breathe. And I am not his savior," Hana nods. "But something tells you the whole story." Sasuke looks at the infant and then to Hana. "Your reaction to my brother's name. A voice I can't explain." Sasuke leans closer to Hana and the child, "welcome to this hell Uchiha Toboe." Hana's eyes widen as Sasuke is pulled away from her and her son.
