Chapter 1—

"Sakura…?" Naruto looked over at his female teammate who was fiddling with her skirt.

"Yes?" Sakura replied distantly. Naruto's brow raised and before he could say another word the council had entered the court room. A young teen was being dragged into the room by ANBU with his hands tightly bound behind his back. Everyone in the room had stood up to get a view of the treacherous Uchiha.

As the council led the young Uchiha to the middle stage Sakura had already looked away from the beaten Uchiha. While he was placed in the chair, his hands bound to the arms, and his feet chained to the floor, the Council began their speech.

"Good Afternoon fellow villagers, witnesses, and Hokage…" the paused to introduce themselves and the villagers had begun to take their seats, "Today we are gathered here for the trial of Uchiha Sasuke." The council looked around the room contently.

"As you all have heard, Uchiha Sasuke has murdered well above hundred captives, over fifty armed security members, murdered the also treacherous Uchiha Itachi, and killed Danzo our Hokage…" everything had become eerily silent, "We give this Uchiha a fair trial to prove himself good…although we hardly doubt he will dodge the death penalty now that we have him captive." The council member glared at Sasuke and turned back to his peers. Naruto kept his gaze on Sasuke and could hear a small gasp of pain coming from his left side…Sakura was holding back tears.

"We the council have convicted Uchiha Sasuke of over hundred counts of murder, assault, and betrayal to villages. He has caused the fourth great ninja war to escalate. He is a rogue ninja and will remain a rouge ninja the rest of his sorry life; he is never welcomed into the village as a Shinobi. Using his jutsu against his village proves that he must die." Naruto's eyes became wide, his mouth dropped, and his hands became tight fists.

Naruto felt a hand grip his shoulder tightly, "Not here." Yamato whispered into his ear. Although Naruto wanted to scream, fight, and cry at the same time there was nothing he could do to save Sasuke this time.

"Uchiha Sasuke do you have anything to say for yourself?" the council men jeered. Sasuke looked up from his lap and straight at Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi. He could tell he caused more pain than anything, but for some reason he didn't feel anything. Two personalities were splitting him in two. One had no feelings for anything he did and was content on destroying the Leaf village, but the other side, which had risen when he was separated from Madara, had told him to run and never go back to that side. But he couldn't say that he was sorry, that wasn't what Uchiha men do. So instead he looked at Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi with a disappointment in his eyes.

"I've realized and admit to everything I've done." Sasuke answered darkly. A smirk formed on the council's faces and they looked around at the other villagers, "Uchiha Sasuke has admitted to his wrong, he will be sentenced to death on Friday the 21st of October. Let it be known that he will not ever be welcomed in this village as a free man." The council concluded as they snapped their fingers to take Sasuke away.
