Fate's Hand
Chapter 2
You're Welcome
They had made good time in the Iron country to land in the main city where Karin said she felt the chakra of the five kages. They were gathered in a room tight with samurai security. Sasuke smirked inside; mere samurai could not stop him.
However, the figure standing in the snow, stopping his path was no samurai.
Suigetsu smirked. "Well, if it isn't the little Kyuubi container."
Naruto Uzamaki stood before them, blocking their path. This Naruto was different than the last Sasuke had seen. This blonde boy looked like a man, his eyes intense.
Sasuke knew the blonde man would never let them pass.
"I can't let you do it, Sasuke." Sasuke's old idiot teammate's voice carried in the wind as snow blew in their faces.
Suigetsu's smirk turned into a grin. "Let us handle the brat, Sasuke-kun."
"You'll be dealing with us instead of him." The team turned to find Konoha ninja behind them, Sasuke knew them all.
Shikamaru, Kiba, Kakashi, and the boy named Sai whom Sasuke had met while under Orochimaru's services.
Suigetsu chuckled, gripped his sword.
"Fine with me."
With his team occupied, Sasuke had no choice but to fight his old hyperactive teammate. Maybe this was to happen, the two meeting again like this, battling again until one of them falls.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Naruto.
"Do you seriously believe you can stop me, Naruto?" He mocked. "I thought you wanted to take me back."
Naruto however stood still, not saying a word.
The battle began soon after, the two former teammates engaging in an all out struggle. Sasuke had to admit that the blond haired idiot had indeed gotten much stronger than their last meeting. He had even required the activation of his Sharingon to fight Naruto.
It felt like minutes to them but hours to others if they had watched the struggle of light and dark. Yes, that is what it was…a battle between light and dark; a never ending one that always appeared in times of fate.
Both near spent the two stopped, returning to their previous positions of facing one another.
"If I have to die, I will Sasuke." Naruto swore. "I won't let you harm any more people."
Sasuke frowned. He was getting bored. Now was the time to finish it.
"So be it." He began the activation of Ameterasu…
Until he felt immense, sheer pain.
Looking down his eyes grew wide at the tip of a sword that was protruding from his chest. Blood stained the white snow, time stood still.
"I won't let you hurt anymore people either, Sasuke-kun." Sasuke whipped his head over his shoulder, shock written clear on his face.
You will die by a hand you once knew.
She held tears in her green eyes, her pink locks swaying in the wind. Her hands did not shake as they held the sword that stabbed Sasuke. Nor did her tears fall as she pulled the sword from his body.
Sasuke fell to his knees, too overcome by shock to speak. Blood fell from his lips as his body fell onto the cold snow. As death began to take him, he felt the sting of someone's tears falling onto his cheeks and heard the whisper of a bubble gum haired girl.
"You're welcome."
…….Fate sometimes deals us hands that we would never expect…..
