The next morning, Sasuke woke up only to find that his belongings were stolen along with his food and water.

"Arrggh...well, whatever, these punks better think twice before they mess with me."

Tracking the culprit to a local village, Sasuke disguised himself as a traveling disciple and searched for the culprit's hideout. After multiple tracking jutsus, he found a house on the outskirts of the village.

"Come out now, you cannot hide from me."

A man came out of one of the rooms, stared at Sasuke's cold red eyes and yelled

"Itachi, how dare you return to my domain!"

Sasuke was struck, "How does this man kno--

Boom! Just in a flash, the man punched Sasuke and flew him into the wall, but Sasuke managed to find his footing and unleashed a counterattack,

"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"

Soon after, a huge fireball went flying right at the mysterious man, but he managed to dodge it with ease, and ran into the forest.

"You win this time Itachi, but I will get my revenge and finally kill you for what you've done to me!"

Sasuke knew that this man might know where Itachi Uchiha might be, but as soon as he started to run after him, a searing pain came upon him.

"Ahhh!...why does this keep happening? Did the Fireball Jutsu drain my strength?"

Realizing that he might pass out, Sasuke decided to steal any food and water he can find from the mysterious man's house and quickly find shelter.


Why do you still fight? I already told you I'm not coming back, so give up now.

No...you may think of me as stupid Naruto...but you mean more to me than family

and I'm not gonna let you go!

Fine, have it your way. I'll just kill you here and now to end your misery,

Sasuke...I'm just getting started...


"Ahh! That dream again...has that blow to the head at the waterfall healed yet?"

"Maybe...this is more than just a blow to the head...rasengan sucks anyway."
