"Isn't that obvious, I'm going to get stronger than kill him," Sasuke said with fire in his eyes. "It's my reason for living right now," Sasuke finished looking coldly at Soulz who just sighed.
"You know there's a saying, when looking for revenge remember to dig two graves, one for the intended victim and the other for you." Soulz said turning to Sasuke. "The path for revenge isn't one that's pleasant." He finished turning away from Sasuke.
"You act like you're talking from experience," Sasuke said flatly.
"It's what killed my father," Soulz replied. "He was so consumed by hatred when my mother was killed that he forsaken the village. He abandoned me, forgot about my cousin, and ultimately died just to kill my mother's murderer," Soulz explained. "And before you say that he avenged my mother let me ask you this; do you think my father thought it was worth it? Do you think it's worth throwing your life away for something petty like revenge, when there's so much more in life," Soulz asked Sasuke his voice full of emotion bringing up the memories from his past.
Sasuke paused, processing Soulz words and thinking over them before replying. "No," was all Sasuke said for he knew Soulz was right. Looking down at the ground he was surprised when Soulz walked over and placed his hand on his shoulder. Then Sasuke looked up into the eyes of Soulz.
"Don't get me wrong, we will get justice for what Itachi did. I just don't want my brother walking down the same dark path my father did," Soulz told Sasuke who was struck emotionally at Soulz calling him his brother. Sasuke with tear filled eyes could only nod to indicate that he understood. "Good now I have to go to talk to the Hokage about getting a two-bedroom apartment for us," Soulz said with a smile. "Meet me at the market in a couple hours ok," he finished giving Sasuke a thumb up, who gave him a thumb up in return. Then with that Soulz left to go speak with Hiruzen.

"Minato! Minato wake up! Wake up Minato!" A Frantically hurried man shook Minato from his slumber.
"What is it uncle Atomu," Minato asked wiping the sleep from his eyes.
Atomu looked at the 8-year-old boy with a mixed feeling of fear and joy. He quickly walked over and knelt in front of Minato. "We have to leave now, we're not safe anymore," he told Minato has he gave him the bag he packed.
"what why? Where are we going?" Minato asked quickly.
"I will explain later, lets go," Was all he said.
They walked out the front door and Minato realized that the sun hadn't even began to rise. It was only then he realized how serious his uncle was, then fear began to grip him in an iron clutch. The grip loosened when other Uzumaki clan members walked up.
"Is this all that's left?" Atomu asked the others who simply nodded. With a sigh he continued, "Very well then let's go. Minato we are going to have to run for a while," Atomu finished. Then Minato gave him a confirming nod and he, Atomu, and the four others took off, into the woods running from a threat Minato didn't even know, and from a tragedy he was unaware of.
Authors Note:
Finished, Sorry that it's short. I am going to try to write some little longer chapters for ya'll. I don't know if anybody even reads the authors note but bear with me a little longer, so I can get back into a groove.
Till next time, see ya.
