"Remember for me." a feminine voice pleaded inside Sasuke's mind
"Hello who's there?" he called out
Receiving no reply, Sasuke's began wandering around the barren land. He had no clue as to where he was but he needed to find out.
Something in the air shifted and Sasuke's found himself face to face with an old man. He yelped before backing up.
"Um excuse me where am I?" Sasuke asked
The old man did not reply and looked forward as if Sasuke had just not spoken. Sasuke huffed in annoyance at the silent treatment from the old man.
Before he could make his displeasure known a door behind Sasuke opened. Sasuke turned towards the door and was shocked at what he saw.
A woman with fiery red hair had walked in. She held herself with assured arrogance and the grace of trained kunoichi.
Her olive green eyes swept over the room and Sasuke made an effort to shrink into himself. Surprisingly, the woman did not see Sasuke.
The woman finally walked towards the old man and sat in front of him.
"Hello father, you called for me?" the woman said
The man shifted before his hand shot out and Sasuke caught the gleam of metal. He let out a shout of surprise.
The woman didn't flinch as she caught her father's wrist and staring at him in disbelief.
"Hmmm it seems you haven't gotten rusty, Nozomi." the old man said
Nozomi chuckled before replying.
"I was pregnant father, I didn't want to risk the health of my child."
Nozomi's father hummed before grinning.
"How is the little tyke?" he asked
"As much as a handful as I was I suppose. Maybe even worse."
"I find that hard to believe. What did you name him in the end?"
"Well my idiot husband wanted Kenji or Daisuke. But I finally beat it into him that Sasuke would be his name."
"That's what you get for marrying a Yuki. They never have their head in straight especially when it comes to naming children. But enough talk we need to get back to business."
Nozomi sobered up and stared at her father impassively.
"Of course father."
"My time is near and your brother is not ready to take the position as clan head. You know what you need to do."
"Yes father."
Nozomi took the kunai from her father's hand before stabbing it into his throat. She pulled the kunai back letting the blood spurt out.
Sasuke heaved in disgust at how the blood hit Nozomi's face, as she stared at her face.
Nozomi gouged out her father's eyes and sealed them into a scroll. She stood up before leaving the room.
Sasuke followed after Nozomi and found himself standing next to her as she stopped in front of a young man.
The young man had the same olive green eyes as Nozomi but had midnight black hair, the same as his father.
"Hello little brother." Nozomi said nonchalantly still covered in blood
"What did you do?" the young man asked barely concealing his anger and panic
"You know what I did Satoshi, live up to the name father gave you." Nozomi said
"Why? I was improving. I did everything in my power."
"You failed father, this is your punishment Satoshi lead the clan, if you succeed the Uchiha clan will prosper. If you fail, well there are other potential clan heads."
And with that Nozomi walked past Satoshi and left the compound. She walked towards a man who looked quite feminine.
The man took the Nozomi into his arms and shushin'd away. Sasuke somehow came with them and he watched as the man sat on the floor and soothed Nozomi.
A young child walked inside and Sasuke gave a gasp of shock at the child's appearance. The boy looked exactly like he did at that age.
"Sasuke go lay back down, kaa-chan is not feeling well." the man told toddler-Sasuke
The boy ignored the man and walked to his mother. He gurgled at Nozomi and laid a hand oh her shoulder somehow not even noticing the blood that was splattered across his mother. Sasuke leaned closer to inspect the scene before he was blinded by a bright light.
He shielded his eyes and looked away from the light. When it finally died down Sasuke could only look around in disbelief at the scene. Staring across from a familiar blonde was an older version of Sasuke.
This Sasuke's appearance was warped. Hand-like wings coming from his back. Long, grey hair flowing behind him. The familiar blonde, Naruto, seemed different now as well. His whisker marks darker and more defined. His face similar to that of a feral animal, and he seemed to be surrounded by red chakra.
Suddenly, the two began heading towards each other in an aggressive manner. Sasuke could only watch in fear and shock. His eyes widened as Sasuke's glowing hand pierced Naruto's. Sasuke screamed out in rage as the image was forever embedded into his mind.
Then everthing seemed to stop and it all disappeared. Sasuke was surrounded by darkness once again. He looked around wondering what was happening.
"Do you wish to seek another path?" a voice rang out from all around Sasuke
"A path for what?" he called out to the voice
"A path for power. Do you wish to continue destroying all those around you for power?"
"No of course not, why would I?"
The voice chuckled ominously.
"Then follow the Uzumaki and lead your clan to redemption little Uchiha."
"...Okay."
And with that Sasuke fell into a more peaceful sleep his past lives flowing through his head. The child would not remember them until the time was right.
