Sasuke's POV


The Great Naruto Bridge. Heh. What memories it brings.

.

.

The enemy was fighting me. I had activated my sharingan for the second time. We were evenly matched. However he had other plans. Naruto was getting in his way. Naruto as annoying as ever became his target. Within a wince he threw his senbons at Naruto aiming for the kill. My sharingan alerted me. What happened next even I didn't comprehend.

Without knowing why I ran and ran to stop the attack. My sharingan saw the senbons traveling in slow motion. They were moving faster than my legs mocking me as they were heading closer to their victim. I felt an urge to increase my speed. It was a desperation so big that hurt. It hurt to think I would not make it on time. My legs heard my inner cries for they moved at an unexplainable speed until impact was complete. The senbons slowly penetrated my skin to engrave themselves as my downfall. They laughed at me hoping I would entertain them with my own cries. But I didn't give in to the pain. I was an Uchiha, an avenger, somebody like me doesn't throw away their pride to such petty things.

Naruto woke up happy I defeated the enemy. He had no idea. I stood fighting the pain surrounding my body. No one will see me cry, scream or beg for mercy.

"You always get in the way Naruto…It never fails…" I said silently cursing with every blood dripping out of my body.

"You should take a look at your face…You look like a total loser…" he deserved every word.

"Why would you do something so stupid?...Do that for me..Why…Why would you…" I could hear Naruto confused. Sure we didn't get along but did he really think I'd let a team member die? When I really think about it his confusion does make sense. I'm unsure myself on my eagerness to save him. I could feel my life fading away. I was going to die soon. This meant the last survivor of the Uchihas wasn't going to fulfill his revenge; my only resolve in life. And it was all over thanks to this blabbermouth. Why was I eager to give my life away in exchange of his again?

"My body…Just moved…On its own idiot! How should I know?!"

.

"This is a nice bridge. I heard it was named after the Hidden Village of the Leaf's Hokage. Is this true Sasuke?"

Yes it was named after that knucklehead giving him more reason to boost his ego. But if anybody deserved this honor it was Naruto with no doubt. Idiot. What will you do when you hear of my return?

"Sasuke?" There is the voice again. The female shinobi who kept pestering me when I was recovering. This is strange. Somehow I feel lost with my thoughts. That's right I almost forgot.

"This is far enough."

The shinobis escorting me home halted. The shinobi who called himself Yasu turned around to give me the attention I wanted.

"Is there a problem Sasuke?" he asked with no sign of faltering. He look straight into my eyes challenging me. Tch. He had guts. I'll give him that.

"What the hell did you do to me when I woke up? And why wasn't my village notified of my situation in all these years? I want answers now." Ever since I regained conscious I've been lost in a world I'm supposed to accept. How can I accept this strange place when nothing made sense. Something was off. How come these people were not able to notice of my heritage earlier. Unless they kept me for their own plans. But why let me go free after all these years? My eyes are still intact. I can take them out without a doubt of my mind.

Yasu continued his stare at me. He didn't flinch once.

"Smart. Recover first and then ask questions when you're out of the lion's den, isn't that right?"

I said nothing. If he knows what's best for him he'll answer me.

"We didn't possessed enough evidence to confirm your Uchiha heritage. Only suspicion. And because we value the secrecy of our village we were not going to compromise our existence for a stranger. Our best bet was to wait until you awake to act. It wasn't our fault you slept for years. Don't forget we were nice enough to give you care for almost ten years."

You're hiding something. I could feel Lisanna tense up. She isn't good at hiding her emotions like you.

"Continue" I demanded.

"And for what I did when you awoke. You don't have to worry because you won't remember." His eyes quickly captured mine the same way he did before. His eyes transformed color once more paralyzing me in the act...

W-why can't I move?! Why isn't my kekkei genkai…..

My mind blanked out...

"Does that relief your concerns?"

...What was I asking? Oh right, I was demanding to know why they never notified Konoha. How did he answer? Something about security of the village or whatever. I guess that's okay.

"I will kill you if I find out you lied."

"Of course Sasuke. May we continue?"

I nodded.


He told me I was in a coma for almost ten years. With my eyes closed I don't feel any different with reality striking when they open. How is it possible not to recognize my own village? The village Itachi sacrificed an entire clan for. Naruto has really done it. This idiot is revolutionizing the world starting with his own home.

"You're village is beautiful Sasake."

I can feel Lisanna enticed with the surroundings. I don't blame her. The sight of my village is breathtaking. But something feels off. The wind feels different almost as if it's mourning. I remember the breeze filling me up with peaceful memories of my family. At the time reliving those memories were a distraction I despised. Especially when team 7 was becoming my second family against my will. Now the breeze is filling me up with remorse…

...Wait a minute. I'm feeling a chakra coming our way. I close my eyes to identify whose chakra it is. When I clear my mind there is no mistaking. Naruto. I can feel you're not happy.

"He's coming" I muttered. I've been in a coma for practically ten freaking years. No one knew my whereabouts until now. It's safe to say my life is over.

"Who is?" Lisanna asked confused. His chakra is getting closer. It's darker than I remembered. I deserve whatever wrath is coming my way. They kept fighting for me long after I left them. They stayed true to their goal to bring me back to home. No matter what I did they kept trying. People called they idiots. People tried to discourage them with facts of my unrepairable behavior. They continued with their mission. I tried to end their lives on numerous occasions. They trained harder to release me of my insanity. I was within my own hell hole who wanted to eliminate everybody. But, but they refused to let me god damn it! They told me we were family and I never believed. At least I tried not to for the sake of my revenge. Yet they proved to me how much I meant to them. They forgave my atrocities. Naruto understood me when he found out the truth behind my clan's massacre. He even told me he didn't blame my actions. Ten years ago I had a family again. The family who withstood hell for me. And what did I do? I let them down again. Now what do I have? Nothing. Not even revenge can get me through my nightmares. He is getting closer...

...Naruto. Sakura. I'm so sorry.

"You bastard! How dare you come back?"

Your punches don't change.

"Naruto."

I picked myself up from the ground. Hokage or not Naruto's recklessness never changes. Give me whatever you got. I'm done fighting.

As if in cue, Naruto charged once more body slamming me to the ground. He placed his body on top of me. Idiot. He didn't noticed I teleported us elsewhere.

Naruto threw his fist into my cheek. When I refused to react he stroke me with the other hand.

"You coward! Fight me!"

No. I deserve this. End this right now. Do what you should have done years ago.

Naruto continued showing no sign of mercy. The more I refused to react the stronger his hits were.

"DO SOMETHING!"

Naruto was infuriated. He kept punching me left and right. I could taste the blood dripping from my face. Good job my friend. Take your anger on someone with no desire to live. I could explain the situation. You and Sakura could understand. But what is the point? Ten years of my life was taken away. My own village is unrecognizable before my eyes. The breeze of the wind is foreign. And Sa-Sakura. What future do I have with someone who most likely moved on? Take me out my misery.

"WE TRUSTED YOU….SAKURA LOVED YOU….YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND DAMN IT…"

The taste of my blood was getting stronger. I wanted to cough out my blood but he wouldn't let me. His beatings were fast.

"WE FORGAVE YOU…I TOLD YOU I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK….ALWAYS…AND WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

My left eye was getting numbed. You're really not holding back aren't you?

"YOU BETRAYED US ALL OVER AGAIN?!...I'M TIRED OF YOUR CRAP…DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LONG NIGHTS I STOOD NEXT TO SAKURA TELLING HER IT WAS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING?...I LOST COUNT YOU IDIOT….I GAVE HER FALSE HOPE…"

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave again…I-I loved her….

"AND NOW YOUR BACK SILENTLY LETTING ME BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU…. THIS IS YOUR GUILT ISN'T IT?... WELL I'VE HAD ENOUGH AND SO HAS SHE… I'M GOING TO KILL YOU SASUKE...FOR HER SAKE!"

You're almost done Naruto…Damn it!...What's taking you so long?

"SCREW YOU SASUKE…"

What the hell Naruto?! Why are you tearing up? Don't stop now. Listen to me. KILL ME NOW!

"I-I-I WANT TO KILL YOU….WE GAVE YOU EVERYTHING…WHY WASN'T IT ENOUGH?!"

His…His...punches are getting lighter.

"TELL ME. WHY WEREN'T WE ENOUGH?!"

STOP. Don't cry now… Stupid Naruto. You always get in the way... It never fails. Not then, not now. I'm not worth it. I never was.

"DAMN YOU SASUKE!"

Naruto stopped his next punch mid-air. He fists were as bloody as my face was. He got off me. My entire body was thankful. Naruto was no Sakura in weight. He sat down against the closest tree. He covered his eyes with the back of his hand attempting to stop the river of tears he was shedding. I found the strength I had left to sit upright and lean against a tree. I was tired. He was tired. I could tell he was trying his best to control his anger but his emotions wasn't letting him.

"You're family idiot….my brother….remember when I said I hurt when I see you carrying all your burden?!…it still hurts…I could have helped…you know I'd fight for you…so why?!"

Naruto you never change...You win..I'll fight.

"I-I was in a coma idiot…."
