The Avenger
There was something truly under estimated about the boy who starred him down. He vowed to love nothing and to destroy everything. Unlike himself, this child had no desire for peace and it was truly a remarkable sight. Marvelous in fact to witness and even guide the child to that point where the village burned to the ground.
Now, the boy stood across from him.
Looked him in the eyes without fear for himself or anything else.
The black flames of Amaterasu only lending him an even more powerful aura.
He briefly wondered if this is, what the Kyuubi had felt when pierced with his Sharingan.
Perhaps it was only a fleeting example of a reminder, his own darkness come to flesh and blood to haunt him. With a speed born from nightmares, the boy's fingers began to flash through the seals to summon Madara's final reckoning. The ancient Uchiha closed his eyes as the atmosphere charged.
There was no more escape.
Kirin screamed to life and pierced the heavens. Electricity surged to its master's whim, flirting at the edges of Madara's still hand. The Kusanagi pierced through his chest into the Juubi's statue ending any attempt to escape. Blood trickled from his wound as the boy finally spoke.
"You destroyed my once chance to get even with the village." the boy whispered. "You took my vengeance and in turn I take what you always desired. I am an Avenger, ancestor. For my brother, my clan, and Naruto, I will kill you now."
The lightning screamed to life as Madara turned his head to gaze into the limp blond's horrified blue eyes. The teenager was still weak to fight and watched in amazement as the Kirin flickered in an electrical arc. Twisting and twinning as if alive the dragon turned in on itself and drove into Madara's body.
A wretched scream sounded briefly before the man's mind went dark.
Between the dying body of his ancestor and his friend, Sasuke Uchiha stood alone in the shadows.
"I will shoulder the darkness and wipe the name Uchiha clean," he promised.
