"Aaagh!" he screamed as he fell to the floor on his hands and knees. Slight blood dripped out of the corner of his mouth while he coughed choking with exhaustion.
"You're weak! WEAK!" the snake-like faced figure watching him exclaimed.
"Orochimaru-sama, please do not push this body. It is still not strong enough yet," Kabuto said as he pushed his glasses up more towards his eyes with one hand and the other hand pushing down on Orochimaru's shoulder.
"Get your hand off me before I remove it! I thought you told me this Uchiha was like his brother! The Kyuubi is more powerful now and look who has it, Jiraiya!"
At the mention of Naruto Sasuke lifted his head, eyes angry. Naruto-san he thought as he remembered his two chances to kill him yet he didn't complete the process. Itachi-neechan killed his best friend and instructed me to do the same, but I will find a stronger way against Itachi Sasuke thought. He would gain the mangekyo without copying Itachi, though he did loathe Naruto. Naruto, who he had competed against during their entire childhood, was now considered a greater value to everyone more than a last Uchiha.
"Throw him in a cell, I'm done with him right now Kabuto," Orochimaru calmly said while waving his hand.
Kabuto threw Sasuke over his shoulder and made his way to the door of the basement. Their last shelter was more adapt and better designed, but they heard news of Team Kakashi traveling towards it so they moved to this temporary house at the edge of Amegakure, the Land of Rain's hidden village which is also home base to the Akatsuki. Kabuto consistently looked towards the windows nervous about their visit being discovered though Orochimaru was convinced it would go un-noticed, as most of the Akatsuki were busy searching for the legendary demons, particularly Naruto. In the basement Kabuto put Sasuke on a sheet; he actually felt sorry for Sasuke as his journey seemed to be disastrous and he knew that everyone from Konoha was still looking for him to be able to have a better life.
The exhaustion had worn Sasuke to the extreme so that he passed out into a deep unconscious sleep.
"Sasuke-kun, please don't leave," she cried to him from behind as she hugged him.
"Sakura-chan, I… I…I," with that he woke from his dream and felt a tear on the corner of his eye.
That is why he is weak, he thought, because of feelings – those stupid feelings that everyone is entrusted with. Why did he let himself get so close to her, and even a friendship with him?
