SINISTER WEB
At an undisclosed location
A masked-nin knelt before a throne chair that concealed a sinister silhouette of a man so vile that he had surpassed the devil himself, "Madara-sama, Sasuke-sama has returned from his outing," came the calm hushed voice from his knelt position.
"I see," he replied before waving his hand in dismissal of the tracker-nin; he had sensed the awakening of a power from the time of the invasion of Konoha, a power he still clearly remembered, one more vengeful than his own and was a thing of the past. It came as a surprise to him to know that the Haruno family had survived and had long returned to their roots in Konoha mainly because Sakura-Hime had always been weak, never opposing and doing as she was told. Even on that night, he was sure she would have lost that child.
An angry chakra presence stilled his thoughts as he saw a pair of angry black-red tinted eyes stare at him from the open doorway before their owner grunted, "You owe me a new weapon."
Madara sensed his short temper immediately, not that it meant anything to him. Sasuke was always short tempered, dissatisfied and judgemental in short a human prototype failure. Much like him in his younger days, seven generations really does manage to smoothen out your rough edges, " I shall pay what I owe as long as you give me a report on how your outing turned out."
His glare intensified as he bubbled with fury before he inquired, "Concerning the Haruno or the curse itself?"
Madara gruffly replied, "Both."
"The Haruno is weak but tactical on her own but with the curse manifestation, she is very powerful," Sasuke reported, his words coming out like he had something disgusting stuck to the roof of his mouth.
Madara remained silent for a while assessing that short but meaningful piece of information that Sasuke had just relayed before retorting, "I see. Does the Haruno have any weakness?"
Sasuke's eyes closed and let out a stifled chuckle almost like as though he was going to break into a cynical laugh but stopped himself midway through, "Only one.......the kyuubi container."
Madara smiled to himself, once more he was going to encounter that rebellious jinchuuriki, 'A long life sure had its surprises,' he thought as a diabolical twist weaved in his mind, one that would kill two birds with one stone.
A/N : Short,right? Decided that I would give you guys a chance to know why Sasuke appeared out of nowhere. Sorta like an omni-presence, will try and update before Christmas. Cheers!
