A/N: And here I am, back with a new chapter. I appreciate the feedback from you guys as well.
xXWarrior-AngelXx, I'm considering adding Naruto into the mix, but this story is mainly going to revolve around Sasuke, so we'll see. Either way, thanks for the review.
Watson, True enough, I suppose. I'll think about it.
Kaze9000, I'm still a beginner at this, but thanks for the input.
VocaloidHM01, aren't you the guy that made Hyperdimension Neptunia Z? Didn't expect to see you here. But like I said above, I'm a beginner at this, so I'll try to work on the pacing.
Guts the Man88, updated.
Franzotaku04, My schedule is kinda wonky. I'll try to update as much as I can.
As Vert watched the lone Uchiha leave the city from behind a building, she had a small smile as she began to trail him.
Dashing out of Planeptune and coming across a multiple monsters, Vert found it harder to keep up with Sasuke's speed.
Sasuke knew he was being followed but he decided to lead his pursuers into an open forest.
Vert stopped and decided to observe from the bushes when she saw a woman with gothic, witch-like apparel creeping up behind Sasuke.
"Hmm?"
Sasuke drew his sword and whipped around only to see nothing.
"Come out!" Sasuke said, walking toward the unknown signature he was sensing.
Sasuke turned around again and met blades with a woman.
CLANG!
Sasuke jumped back, but still held his blade high.
"Who are you, and state your business with me." Sasuke said, analyzing the figure before him.
The woman is wearing a big witch hat with golden lining and a heart-like shape in the center with a red gem-piece in the center. At her neck is a purple feathery/furry collar with gold and red gem ornament in the center. Her outfit mainly takes a black, purple, gold, and red accent theme with many red "gem" like pieces. and her hair is somewhat long, with the color being light purple.
"Getting right to the point? I think we're going to be good friends." The female attacker said.
"My name is Arfoire, of the Seven Sages!" Arfoire said, thrusting her hand at Sasuke with a very ridiculous pose.
"Arfoire of the Seven Sages? I've heard of that group name before." Vert muttered under her breath.
"I might learn something if I listen in." Vert thought.
"Seven Sages? Who might that be? An organization of some sort? Sasuke asked.
"Correct. It is our duty to rid Gameindustri of all CPUS!" Arfoire declared.
Sasuke did not care in the slightest.
"Hmph. I don't care about what you people do. Just don't get in my way, if you know what's good for you." Sasuke said.
"Aren't you the cocky one, I like tormenting your kind. But I didn't come here looking for a fight." Arfoire said.
"Don't waste my time. Spit it out." Sasuke said, his patience wearing thin.
Arfoire was growing impatient at Sasuke's attitude, and you could tell by the veins popping on her head.
"You got a sharp tongue, boy..." Arfoire started.
Sasuke turned around and continued his trek through the forest until a glaive was thrown at his feet.
"You've got some nerve, attempting to ignore me. And I was trying to play nice for once." Arfoire said.
Sasuke was at his breaking point, and while he had narrowed his eyes, he began to raise his sword once more.
"I will give you 3 seconds to move aside... make that one second." Sasuke said, flaring his killing intent.
Arfoire retrieved her glaive once more and raised it at Sasuke.
"That idiot chairwoman wanted me to retrieve you, but it seems that was too much to ask, even by HER standards." Arfoire muttered.
Vert at the time, who was hiding her presence to Arfoire at the time, finally revealed herself.
Sasuke quickly glanced at the blonde haired CPU behind him before returning his gaze onto Arfoire.
"My eyes...see darkness clearly, And you're no exception."
As Sasuke activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, Arfoire stared into his eyes, feeling a shiver up her spine.
"Oh my." Vert said, as she looked at Arfoire's face, who was shitting herself at the sight before her.
Arfoire was paralyzed. As she looked into the Sharingan, she was watching her own death repeat itself over and over again in various gruesome ways.
"Uh...ugh..guh.." Arfoire repeated as she dropped to her knees, scared to death.
"Hmph. What a waste of my Sharingan." Sasuke said as he walked past the kneeling Arfoire, completely disregarding the presence of Leanbox's CPU.
*ahem*
Sasuke looked over his shoulder, and looked at Vert.
"What do you want?" Sasuke said, sheathing his sword and deactivating his Sharingan.
"You want to know where Leanbox is, correct?" Vert said, giving a friendly smile.
Sasuke remained silent, indicating she was correct.
"Well, I know the way there." Vert said.
Sasuke simply stared back at her, retaining an emotionless face.
"Give me one good reason as to why I should trust you."
"Because I'm Leanbox's CPU, of course."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes once more, making Vert take a step back in surprise.
"Shouldn't the leader of a country be focused on other things instead of one wandering man?" Sasuke asked.
"I have a gut feeling that you will be an important asset to the future of Leanbox." Vert said.
"I'm not going there to work. I'm going there for more information." Sasuke said.
"Well, you're going to have to work for information. And the only work available is under me." Vert said.
"I have no intention to work for you." Sasuke said, walking away.
Vert simply stood in place as he gathered her thoughts.
"Hmm...maybe I'm trying to rush things a tad too fast. I need to strike when the iron's hot." Vert said.
A couple of hours later, Sasuke looked north of the mountains he was currently walking in and he saw a bunch of ruins. He sensed an object emitting a great deal of power, as it constantly shifted to Positive and Negative energy.
As he arrived at the entrance of the ruins, he heard footsteps not too far from him.
When he followed the direction of the footsteps, he saw the same pig-tailed girl from earlier in the day.
"Damn it, why can't fortune smile upon me for once..." Noire said as she was looking for the CPU Memory up and down.
Sasuke casually ran past her and toward the energy signal.
"I can sense it, I'm closing in on it." Sasuke thought.
As he approached the object, He came across Arfoire and a little rat thing carrying a medium-sized bag with him.
"It's you!" Arfoire exclaimed, not expecting Sasuke to be here.
"Don't tell me this guy is looking for the CPU Memory, too, chu." The rat said.
"I have no intention of showing you any mercy this time. If get in my way, I will kill you." Sasuke said with a glare cold as death.
Arfoire was beyond scared at this point, but she put up a brave front.
"Like hell you will, boy. Your nothing but a single man. How can you possibly take me down, all by yourself?"
Sasuke activated both his Sharingan and his Rinnegan, and gave Arfoire the most villainous smile he can muster, which made Arfoire jump back in fear.
"Know that while I can easily kill you in an instant, also know that I am well-trained in the art of torture. I can put you in a genjutsu, stab you repeatedly as your joints are driven into a stake, for 72 hours. I can also make you relive your death, for 72 hours. I can assure you that your death will not be quick and painless, but slow and painful." Sasuke said.
Pirachu was now sweating bullets too.
Sasuke emphasized his point by activating Amaterasu on a nearby monster, which immediately burst into black flames as soon as it met eye contact with Sasuke's Sharingan eye.
Pirachu hid behind Arfoire, while Arfoire fell to her knees again, as if Sasuke had bent her to his will.
Sasuke approached the CPU Memory and examined it.
"There seems to be a constant shift between positive and Negative energy. I think I'll seal this away, just in case this is needed." Sasuke said, pulling out a small scroll, sealing the CPU Memory inside it.
Sasuke then turned his attention to Arfoire and Pirachu, who were still paralyzed in fear.
"Now, as for you two...get out of my sight." Sasuke said coldly.
Arfoire and Pirachu quickly ran off seizing the opportunity.
Sasuke closed his eyes and started walking back to the entrance of the ruins.
"Sigh...how long has it been since I showed that side of me..." Sasuke thought to himself.
Unfortunately, Sasuke was not aware of the fact that the bag the rat was carrying held a CPU Memory.
"We're so lucky we didn't have to fight that guy...he scared the filling out of my cheesecake, chu." Pirachu said, taking deep breaths.
"We're lucky that we made it out alive with a CPU Memory intact, you damn rat. Act like you can actually do something for once." Arfoire said.
"It's not my fault, chu. You could barely stand on your own two feet, chu." Pirachu said.
"Says the rat that can't even look him in the eye!" Arfoire snapped back.
"Hey...do you hear that?" A voice said.
Arfoire flinched. Pirachu simply sighed and said, "I'm getting too tired for this shit."
Neptune, Noire, and Plutia made their presence known as they watched the duo bickering.
"Is this a washed-up comedy duo? Huh. I feel like I've seen that goofy rat thing before." Neptune said.
"You know that thing?"
"I think so? My memory is kinda like 'bleh, whatever.'" Neptune said.
Noire raised an eyebrow.
"I get the same brain-tingle from that old lady, too. Kind of like something I lost on an old hard drive." Neptune said, scratching her head.
"So, what are you saying exactly? Wait, they're holding the...!" Noire started.
"Huh?" Plutia said.
"No, no, no, no! It can't be!" Noire exclaimed.
"It looks like you both were beaten to the punch..." Plutia said, looking at the CPU memory the rat held.
"Grr...I won't let them take it from me!" Noire declared as she dashed toward Arfoire and Pirachu.
"That won't be necessary."
"That voice...!" Neptune exclaimed.
"Yay! He's back!" Plutia said.
Sasuke jumped from the ceiling and landed in front of Noire.
"I don't have time to talk to you right now, get out of my way!" Noire said.
Her command fell on deaf ears as Sasuke calmly unsealed the scroll that held the CPU Memory.
"This is what you're looking for, yes?" Sasuke said, holding out the CPU Memory.
Noire and Neptune's eyes widened in shock.
"The CPU Memory! How?!" Noire said.
"I found it lying around here, and I thought it would make a good souvenir, but it seems as though someone else needs it more than me." Sasuke said.
"You have no idea how long I've waited to become a CPU, thank you!" Noire said, bowing her head, still keeping her eyes on the CPU Memory.
"Wait, since when did I start bowing my head down to a guy?! Pull yourself together, Noire!" Noire thought realising what she just did.
"Hmph. I'm giving this to you on a whim. There is no need to thank me." Sasuke said, tossing it to Noire...before Neptune beat her to it.
"Hey! He was giving that to me!" Noire yelled.
"Sorry, Noirey. But I did say that I called dibs on becoming a CPU first." Neptune said with a sloppy grin.
"Screw you!"
"Don't fight guys..." Plutia said.
"This is going to be a long afternoon..." Sasuke muttered under his breath.
