Chapter 2: Despair
Sasuke woke up the next day, but found his bed empty. He looked around, but no one was there. He was in a small apartment... alone.
"Sakura?" he said allowed trying to get an answer. He got up and got dressed. He went outside to find himself in Konoha still... but no one was there. It was like a ghost town. He walked through to see entrance closed off he wasn't able to leave the village? There was a sign there...
By order of the remaining nations, Uchiha Sasuke must live and die in the lost village of Konoha. For his crimes of killing off every remaining citizen and Shinobe, he will live alone and secluded until the end of his natural life unless he commits suicide.
Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes. How could his dream go from wonderful to a horrible nightmare? No. He wouldn't believe it. He wanted Sakura. He wanted his children. Why was this happening to him? He searched the village; surely he couldn't be the ONLY one in the ENTIRE village!
He searched and searched, but there was no sign of life. Soon he came across a huge grave yard. In front a memorial was there with an explanation.
This Graveyard holds the many bodies of the citizens of Konoha from which the traitor Uchiha Sasuke had massacred. But most of all the ones who tried so hard to save our village.
Our sixth Hokage Uzumaki Naruto son of Namikaze Minato
Our fifth Hokage Tsunade
Hatake Kakashi
Haruno Sakura
Yamanaka Ino
Nara Shikamaru...
He couldn't read any more. How could his unconscious go from peaceful and happy to Dark and despairing? He looked to the first row of tombstones. The first was Naruto, and then Tsunade, Kakashi... and finally his eyes came across Sakura's grave. He noticed that there were fresh flowers. He must have given her the flowers every day...
Sasuke knelt at her grave, and sobbed. What could drive him to kill everyone who ever cared for him? Did Itachi's death and tale of his innocence really make him snap? What was wrong with him?
"Sakura..." he moaned while tracing her name on the tombstone. His tears wet the ground more as rain started to fall. How could he ruin his life like this? He wanted to end it. He wanted to die too. He cried and cried. He didn't move from that spot... He soon started to fade away into darkness...
