Finally, team seven was together once more. Sasuke's attack on the Five Kage Summit had backfired, and he now stood alone on what might soon be someone's watery grave, with earthen valleys around him. Sakura had tried and failed to kill him, and now Naruto and Kakashi had showed up. And despite everything he'd done... Naruto still thought he could be saved, redeemed, brought back to Konoha, the village he hated so much. Well, perhaps this would be the push he needed to finally prove to Naruto that he couldn't be saved, and that Naruto should just kill him already before he could cause any more harm, before his quest for vengeance could spiral out of control any further.

Sasuke chuckled, and started humming a little tune to himself, which he soon added words to. "When I was a little Genin and the sun was going dooown..."

"Tell me he's not..." Naruto said, bewildered and disturbed. Was Sasuke actually... singing?

"Itachi killed my parents, and it really made me froooown!" Sasuke sang, showing his former teammates a deranged and exaggerated frown.

"He is." Kakashi said flatly, his one visible eye staring at Sasuke flatly.

"I'd cry in my own corner, overcome with pain and grief!" Sasuke sang sadly, "But Tobi told me that wasn't the way to get myself relief...

"...Then what is?" Naruto asked, clearly already dreading the answer.

"He said: 'Sasuke, you've gotta stand up tall, go and kill your peers!" Sasuke sang happily, triumphantly, as if this was all something to be proud of. "You've seen, Itachi die so make Konoha disappear!"

He glared hatred right at Naruto, amused at his friend's horror, and shouted out three short, sharp barks of laughter. "Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"So, go destroy your Village! Burn, murder and pillage!" Sasuke sang happily. "Slaughter all the Genin, Murder all the Jonin! Itachi died for that place, I'll stab them in the face!"

Sasuke looked down, stopped singing, and started talking, his voice sounding more psychotic with each word. "And If anyone else tries to ridicule the way I live, I'll slaughter everyone they ever cared about. And then maybe they'll understand what it's like to taste a little of my hatred!" Much to everyone's horror, he started to laugh. "Hahah... heh... Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
