Chapter 3

The first thing Sasuke knew he had to do was to gather information about Akatsuki, the organization witch Itachi worked for. Sasuke started of by asking Orochimaru, a former member, if he knew anything. Orochimaru to him right before he left they were about to try and collect 10 legendary items, one of them being the nine tailed fox. So Sasuke moved on and interrogated a man named Raiga, although he was not a member he used to know one. Raiga told him he knew a man named Kisame who was partnered with Itachi. So Sasuke started gather information about Kisame.

Sasuke moved from village to village until he got a lead that Kisame was seen in grass village. So Sasuke moved as quickly as possible to the grass village, he tracked down Kisame in the village and beat the crap out of him. So he finely got him to talk. Kisame told Sasuke that he last saw Itachi in village hidden in the sand looking for some incarnate of sand or something like that. Sasuke immediately knew he was after Gara! Sasuke ran as fast as he could to the Sand village looking all over until he came across a battle scared piece of land. Sasuke knew that here Gara had put up a big fight against Itachi and for a moment felt sorry for Gara. Sasuke asked some of the villagers if they had seen what had happened. He found Tamari in the hospital she had been fatally wounded trying to help Gara and only had a few days left to live. He asked her if she knew where Itachi was going? She said she heard him say something about a secret compound in the sky? Sasuke was confused by this and decided to ask Orochimaru about it.

When he got back to Orochimaru's place he asked him about the compound in the sky. Orochimaru told him about a rumor he heard above the village hidden in clouds. So Sasuke went to the village hidden in the clouds, but he was still confused about the above it part? So Sasuke decided to climb to the highest point in the village and see if he could see anything. He still couldn't see anything so he focused a huge amount of chakra in his legs and feet and released it all at once and jumped so high he could see the compound. Sasuke used some more chakra to land on it. When he was on the compounds he thought he could hear screams of pain and terror from below as if this was more than a meeting place, more like a test facility or torture house.

Now Sasuke knew the real danger was only beginning and he had to be very careful. He slow crept about the compound witch made chills flow through his blood. There were several blood stains on the walls and on doors, he shuttered every time he looked in a room and because several times he saw twisted dead bodies, dismembered body parts, and other unthinkable things. In one room he thought he saw the dead body of Gara on a table with his stomach cut open and jars with what were probably his organs in them. Chills went down Sasuke's spine every time he heard a noise, for fear of ending up like Gara.

Sasuke wished he could just find Itachi so he could get out of there. Sasuke traveled all over that compound but couldn't find Itachi anywhere until he saw some one come out of a secret door. Sasuke walked up to the door and figured out how to open it, when he opened it he saw Itachi standing there as if he was waiting for him. Sasuke jumped up and told Itachi he had come to kill him! Itachi just stood there and smiled, Sasuke started using his sharingan to try and catch Itachi off guard. Itachi just used his sharingan to counter Sasuke's. Sasuke then charged at Itachi with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. He wanted to make him pay he wanted to make him suffer the same way he made him suffer. Soon the two of them were in full combat mode each throwing kuni in every direction each with deadly accuracy. Sasuke tried using his chidori but Itachi was just to fast for a technique like chidori. So he decided to try his new technique. Sasuke slowly gathered chakra in his hands and made as sharp and fine as he could and released it! He sliced through time and everything just slowed down even Itachi. So Sasuke charged up a chidori and ran as fast as he could and went straight through Itachi. He then smiled with relief for he had avenged his clan, as he left he took the lifeless body of Gara in his arms and realized this was his dream. Sasuke was sad to see even Gara die like this, no one deserved this kind of death……..not even Gara. He returned to Konoha and told Sakura and Naruto about everything he did and how he went into that horrible compound. He even went to Gara's funeral and at the end of the funeral he asked Sakura if she loved him and she said "yes why do u ask?" Sasuke told her that because he left the village he would be punished and probably killed so he told her he loved her kissed her good bye and left the village again.
