Sasuke POV
Sasuke flew through the trees tracking the reason for his existence for his such hard work since he was just a child. Itachi probably knew he was there but was baiting him. Sasuke knew that they would be within the radar of the Leaf Village soon and he had to stop Itachi before the plan was ruined.
Itachi suddenly stopped and whirled around. Sasuke flew unto a nearby tree branch and listened for his brother's first move. A second later he whirled around and his kunai met with his brother's, spark's flew everywhere and his brother smirked. "A fight to the death, brother"
**********************************************************************************….
Hours later Sasuke was leaning against a tree blood seeping from all his wounds and panting hard. If I don't finish this…I'm dead! Sasuke ducked as his brother came at him again. Now! He thought and lunged for his brother his kunai flashing in the moon light. His brother smirked and easily deflected it Sasuke saw his chance and struck his brother in his weak spot.
Sasuke heard a gasp and smiled to himself, he had gotten it! Itachi stumbled back clutching his wound,
"Go, ahead…finish me! FINISH ME!" Itachi screamed and Sasuke hesitated all he had wanted was revenge… but to kill his brother? His own blood, he had done it with no problem! Sasuke clenched his fist then sprinted forward in his last spurt of energy and slammed his brother back in his secret technique he had spent so much time training with Orochimaru.
His brother slumped to the ground and as he took his last breath he smiled "Your just like me, little brother." Then with that he died. Sasuke- half dead- sprinted away, he didn't care where but just to get away from those words and that body. He slowed almost an hour later and collapsed on the forest floor breathing heavily. I'm going to die, I want to die. I have nothing, no one, I threw it all away. His eyes closed and he embraced the darkness,
Sakura POV
Team Ten and Sakura were flashing through the forest heading back to the village and Sakura spanned out her chakra to calculate the distance they had to go. I don't think Ino can go much longer… she said she can, but it looks really bad.
Sakura thought then she picked up a signal, someone was hurt. Her medical skills kicked in and she stopped running. "You guys go ahead, I sense a ninja nearby I'll just check up on it." She assured them. Shikamaru raised his eyebrow but nodded
"We'll talk about this later" he murmured so only Sakura could hear, before launching off his branch and leading the rest of his team away. Sakura immediately set off for the fading signal.
She stopped a few feet away from the source of the signal and hid behind a tree, assessing the situation. The person was barley alive and had injuries all over their body. Sakura immediately set to work stripping off the scraps of clothes that were left on his body. She materialized a stretcher and lifted the body onto it sending all her chakra into her arms so she could work quickly and efficiently.
In no time she had him bandaged and fresh clothes to keep him warm. Then a frown flashed across her face, how was she going to move him? She quickly looked around and spied a alcove in a nearby tree that she could hide him in until she was able to come back. She pushed his long hair back to inspect his face and gasped. It was Sasuke! He was back! Her Sasuke was back.
Danzo POV
Danzo tapped his desk lazily and stared out the window at the Leaf Village. His village he thought approvingly, Shizune walked in her head bowed. "Sir, he has arrived." She said.
"Send him in." Danzo commanded. Shizune nodded and soon after Orochimaru stepped into his office.
"Danzo" he said, Danzo held back a shudder and nodded his head.
"Orochimaru" he answered, "You've decided to join my cause?" he asked.
"I've decided to listen to what you propose." Idiot, he has no idea what he's getting into. Danzo thought, little did he know that Orochimaru was also thinking the same thing. But the difference was; Orochimaru had been playing this game for awhile and Danzo was just toying with the controls.
"You and I could work together to bring this damned village to their knees!" Orochimaru hissed "They need to pay for what the deprived from you, from me! Soon Sasuke will be ready and I will be able to rule this village." Power flared in his eyes and Danzo gripped his desk in fear.
"Sasuke?" he asked.
"Yes, in his search for power he has forgotten everything that ever meant anything to him. His friends and this village. I sent him after his brother, of course he thought he had made every choice himself, but this whole time his has been under my power. He should be somewhere in this forest to weak to leave, he will be discovered soon enough and they will him back, no doubt. Even after all he's done to them, and once he's in…" Orochimaru chuckled. "The fun begins." His tongue snapped out and licked his lips, officially creeping Danzo out. Danzo snapped his fingers and two ninja appeared,
"Escort him out of the village make sure nobody sees." This is a secret and I want to make sure it stays that way. This village will pay for depriving me of power for this long! I will make sure of that!
