Chapter Four
New Members
In a dark cave about thirty-seven miles northwest of Konoha rested the tired team Hawk leader....Sasuke. He sat out side the cave mouth on a cliff over looking the vast forest that lay in front of him. The wind floundered his loose fitting clothing and his loose hair. His eyes were almost completely faded, he vision was beginning to lack in color. Everything in his sight was faded to black and white. He had always believed that his life was without color, But he never imagined it would come back as something so real.
His brother had been correct. The new Sharingan was diminishing his eyesight. Its true that Konoha had been shaken by god realm pain and his chakra manipulator Nageto. When he had received the report from the brutally beaten Konan that Naruto had beaten all of pains six Realms as well as Nageto himself as well as almost murdering Konan, he wasn't surprised. What truly surprised him is a few days later when Madera returned after scouting the remains of the village. Upon hearing of the villages nomination for Naruto to become the 6th hokage Sasuke felt an overwhelming sense of confusion. Now in order to get the shot at the village elders he wanted so desperately, he would now have to go through him.
Even if he would succeed in killing every last one of the elders something would still be missing not quit satisfying enough. He had always felt a hole in his soul. But it wasn't related to his brother nor the death of his family it was something different something that had been eating at Sasuke ever since he fled from Konoha.
He thought on countless occasions about Sakuras last meeting with him on the road out of the village. The tears that she shed as she begged him not to leave, left his own humanity stung. He had always been annoyed by Sakura and her flirtatious and girly girl flirting during missions. But she was a comrade, she was a fellow ninja that had helped him on numerous occasions. The same went with Naruto, he went beyond annoying. But he had showed him what friendship was in a world that had left him scared. And now he was going to have to go through both of them if he wanted to take revenge for his brother. Konoha's sins and the elders who lift his clan to ash, it would all burn under the gaze of his eyes whatever the cost, even if it meant spilling the blood of both Naruto and Sakura.
"Sasuke-kun" Called out the familiar voice of Karin, Team hawks scout and Chakra detector. Sasuke turned and saw her standing there. After seeing Sasuke acting strangely after meeting with Madera for the first time. She had been worried about him. His domineer was different and he seemed for some resign vulnerable. It may have just been her imagination but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was bothering him.
"The foods ready" she said pointing her thumb to the entrance of the cave behind her. Sasuke then took a sniff of the air and the smell of cooked beef touched his nostrils and it was only then that he had heard his stomach growl, and the hunger pains start. He honestly couldn't tell when had last ate. Had all of the jumbled thoughts and emotional trash he had been dealing with these past few months really cause him to loose sight of something so basic as food. "Thanks" he stood up straight "I'll be right there". Sasuke turned back and sensed that Karin still stood there and soon turned back "Is there something else?" he asked, with the same emotionless face that he had always portrayed ever since she joined up with him.
"No" She said "not really". But her frown stayed. Sasuke knew what the deal was with her, She was just like Sakura was if not a tad worse. But there was something about her that was different, way different.
"Karin" He said, his voice seeming more stern "I already told you that I'm fine, stop bringing up such pointless matters" Short pause "its annoying". With out looking at her face twice he then walked into the cave. Karin frowned but followed close behind. Once inside the smell of a campfire along with large strips of perfectly browned beef laying on a rock beside it was the first thing to catch Sasukes nose and eye. Huddled in front of the campfire was Suigetsu who had already started eating a strip of meat at a ridiculously fast pace. And Jugo sat across form him, in his usual quiet position.
"Geez" Karin mocked after getting an eyeful of the way Suigetsu was eating his share "Try fucken chewing once in a wile".
Suigetsu stopped in mid bite and turned to Karin with an eyebrow raised and a mouth gorged full of meat to the point his cheeks were budging "Waahh Scew?" he garbled. With his mouth so gorged he couldn't even be completely understood. Knowing that the guy was to stupid to grasp her meaning of manners she simply rolled her eyes and sat down grabbing her share of meat. After taking his share leaving one extra, Sasuke then sat a few feet right of Jugo. Of coarse Karin felt a mix of loneliness and disappointment because of it. She decided to blow it off the best she knew how to and took a bite out of the meat.
"This is as good of a time as any to discuss our plan of action for tomorrow"
Suigetsu then swallowed the immense amount of meat he had in his mouth in one abnormal and disgustingly loud gulp. Karin almost gagged in mid swallow. "What's to plan?" Suigetsu Said "We just go in and blow everyone, and everything up right?"
"That was already taken care of by Pain and Nageto, dipshit" Scoffed Karin.
"Shut up" he responded
"You shut up" Karin replayed angrily.
"You shut up!" yelled Suigetsu .
"You Shut up!!" yelled Karin.
"You both shut up!!" yelled Sasuke. Karin could only count on one hand the times she had heard Susuke yell. "We don't have time for petty bickering, dam it" They both looked at each other for a moment then eased back into there seating positions. "Its true that Pain and Nageto destroyed Konoha but it's sprit of fire is still aflame" The two of them continued to listen "Many people died in the attack by Pain and Nageto, that's true. But a vast majority of its spirit and history lay in one group of people that have been left alive"
Karin and Suigetsu looked at him, both portraying confused expressions "Who?" they both said and in unison. Then they glared at each other with disdain, Sasuke went on, hoping they were listening. He wasn't going to repeat himself.
"Its the elders" he stated "Ones we kill the elders Konoha well have nothing left but bitter memories" He let his own idea sink in and his regular emotionless face suddenly creased into a small smile "And I'll see to it that those are burned from existence as well.
"That's a vary good plain you have there Sasuke" Came the familiar annoying voice of Madara. Everyone turned to the opening of the cave and sure enough there he was, but he wasn't alone. Two people stood on either side of him. Two people whom Sasuke nor Karin and Suigetsu had never seen before. Both female…and wearing the trademark Akatsuki cloaks.
