"This is what true power looks like!" Sasuke ran towards Anata with his chidori in hand. Brighter and stronger than his attacks on Sarada.

"You're just a child, with a bad temper."

"I said DON'T TOY WITH ME...CHIDORI!" And in a flash, Anata dodged his attack grabbing his wrist and landing a kick to his side.

Sasuke went flying into the trees once more, with Anata landing in front of him landing another solid blow into Sasuke's chest. The younger Sasuke spat out blood looking up at him with a smirk.

"Tch"

"Control your temper and I can help you train." He had him by the collar, raising him up in the air.

"As if!" Sasuke kicked up almost hitting anata in the face. He let him go and as soon as he was released he went for another chidori.

"Gotcha!"

"SASUKE STOP!" Sakura chan was yelling across the field.

"Papa is impossible to touch! Just let it happen!"

"Sarada is right. The only person who can land a hit on Sasuke is Naruto."

"Sakura chan, please relax." Sarada stood by her, trying to comfort my anxious younger self.

"I can't watch him like this though...it's not him.."

"Sakura is right, should we even allow him to use the curse mark…" Kakashi also anxiety induced.

In a flash Sasuke kun's chidori hit, but Anata used his rinnegan to switch with a boulder.

"What!?"

"Do you even remember who you're fighting." Anata appeared in front of him once more. The wind blowing his hair to the side, revealing his hidden rinnegan.

As soon as the younger Sasuke made eye contact with Anata, we could see that his curse mark was receding.

"What's happening?" Kakashi looked confused.

"Papa most likely put him in a genjutsu."

"Ah I see."

"Real strength comes from overcoming your weakness..your fear only comes from being weak. And you, you are weak. A weakling that doesn't realize his strength comes from those who can support you."

Sasuke has him frozen in his stance, in a world only he can control.

"Can you hear their screams Sasuke? All of our clansmen being murdered by Itachi? Don't forget Otousan and Okasan? Only to realize the deception you were made to think by Itachi. You are weak for not being able to forgive him. You are weak for not accepting what has happened. You are weak for pushing everyone that cares and loves you to the side."

"DON'T SHOW ME THESE MEMORIES! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!...OKASAN...OTOUSAN!...ITACHI! THIS IS HIS FAULT!"

"No it's your fault you'd rather stay in the past, and to continue living with the fear of being weak. You are a child."

Images of the massacre to images of himself fighting Itachi, and images from Itachi living his double life were being played in the younger Sasuke's eyes. All we did was watch from afar, watching as the younger Sasuke trembled to his knees.

"That's enough training for today." Anata turned his back and started walking towards us.

Sasuke kun still trembling on the ground, finally decided to look up, as he watch Anata walking away.

-Enough is when I show you!-

Sasuke kun stood up weaving his hands signs quickly.

"PAPA WATCH OUT!" Sarada yelled pointing behind him.

"KATON GYAKU NO JUTSU!" A large roaring fireball chased after Anata, he dodge it only for the fireball coming fast in our direction.

"Shit!" Sasuke kun yelled.

"Everyone move!" Kakashi yelled.

Sarada and Kakashi jumped out of position, but Sakura chan stood in place watching the fireball near.

"Sakura move you idiot you'll get hurt!" I heard Sasuke kun yell across the field. I ran to her side and punched the ground as hard as I could.

"SHANAROOO!"

The ground collapsed, letting us two fall towards the ground, and the fireball hitting the rubble in its direction. Anata came rushing to our side, kneeling

against me and picking me up.

"Are you ok?"

"Ah now that you're here." I blushed a little knowing that he cared.

Sasuke kun appeared in front of us.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!?"

"I..I..I don't know…"Sakura chan whimpered.

"I didn't mean for the fireball to go in this direction but YOU COULD HAD GOTTEN HURT!"

With that statement, my younger self was in shock, realizing what he meant with that comment.

"Tch, you being a casualty would be annoying."

"I'm sorry Sasuke kun…I..just worry when I see you like that.."

"Alright love birds that's enough. Sakura do you mind healing both Sasukes?"

"Mmph" I nodded my head, and I started walking towards the younger Sasuke.

"Anata, just rest to replenish your chakra."

"Aah"

"Sasuke come here. You have blood all over you."

"I'll be fine." And with that remark he collapsed to his knees.

"Sasuke kun, you used too much of your chakra..please listen?" Sakura chan ran to his side, helping him up.

"The curse mark left you in so much pain…" I heard her whisper into his ear. He turned his head to the side, not regarding her concern.

"Make it quick."

"And yet, still cold as ever. Papa are you ok?"

"I'm fine Sarada, thank you." He called her in close, just to poke her on her forehead.


"Sasuke kun wait for me!"

"Leave me alone Sakura."

"I just want to make sure you're ok…"
"I'm fine so leave me alone."

"But Kakashi told me to keep you company and out of trouble."

"I said LEAVE ME ALONE." Sasuke slammed his fist into the nearby wall.

"Sasuke…"

"I'm not in the mood right now Sakura…"

"Why do you keep acting like you hate me…"

Silence between the two of them. Sasuke's arm still on the wall, and Sakura chan standing behind him in the verge of tears.

"I care about you Sasuke..let me help you please…" Tears starting to fall down her rosy cheeks. Green emerald eyes fading behind shut eyes.

" Sakura stop crying. I don't hate you. I just..I'm not sure what I want to do anymore." Her face shot up only to see Sasuke trembling, for a second it looked like he was on the verge of crying.

"If everything is true, if everything that has happened to them was real, then I don't know what to do. Getting stronger to kill Itachi and getting revenge for my clan was my meaning in life. If all of that is true, don't you understand Sakura? Why am I still in this village if they're the ones who put up Itachi to murder our family!"

"Sasuke...kun…"

"I'm an avenger Sakura! So if Itachi isn't to blame then Konoha is! What am I supposed to do now huh!? Build my strength and ravage the village for the loss of my clan? Destroy the village that shunned me because my brother was a murderer?!"

Sasuke fell to his knees, not because he was weak from the fight from earlier but because of how stressed he was in the inside. Confused, angry, hurt. Sakura chan walked up behind him, leaving her soft hand on his back, trying to sooth him.

He grabbed her by the wrist, looked into her eyes, blood red with his sharingan activated. She still could see how damaged he was.

"Sasuke..your eyes...they changed again..!?"

"Leave with me tonight Sakura...we'll leave and find my brother. I'll acknowledge our differences with him and confront him of what I know. I need this Sakura. And I need your help…"

The seriousness in his tone and facial expression made Sakura freeze in her stance.

"But what about…."

"I'm not abandoning the village...not yet atleast..I just need to ask him myself...if you won't come with me, I'll leave by myself."

"You can't do this alone Sasuke kun…"

"That's why I'm asking you to come with me."

"Sasu-"

"We'll leave as soon as everyone is asleep. We'll be back, I promise I won't let anyone hurt you."


"You sure it was ok to let those two off by themselves?" I asked Kakashi as we headed back to the compound.

"It'll be alright, you should know that even if yourself drove Sasuke kun insane, your presence always seemed to calm him down." He turned to Anata with a smile on his face.

Sasuke carried Sarada on his back because of an injured ankle.

"Mama I don't see why you didn't just heal my ankle all the way."

"It's not broken sweetie, you just pulled a muscle. Best leave that to heal on its own."

"Honestly, you two are match made by Kami." Kakashi laughed to himself.

"You should had seen your face as soon as Sakura and I returned to the village, with Sarada in her arms." Sasuke said as he nudged Sarada.

"Oh and don't forget when Naruto tried carrying her for the first time, I swear I would had murdered him for almost dropping you Sarada!" It was nice remembering everything...but I'm not going to lie, I do miss our Konoha.

"Naruto huh, so he does become Hokage." Kakashi looked up, watching the clouds pass by.

"Naruto should be back in a couple of weeks. I don't know how that little troublemaker would react towards you guys."

"How bad was Hokage Sama when he was my age mama?"

"You know how troublesome Boruto is? Him times 10. I swear I was his baby sitter."

"Hmph everything was a competition with him all the time."

"Remember that tree climbing training session? Geeze you both were so stubb-..."

"Sakura leave with me tonight."

"Sasuke I…."

"I promise I won't let anyone hurt you. We won't be gone too long."

"I..-"

"I'll meet you back at the compound ok?"

The two were just around the corner, but we didn't interrupt just incase we could hear more of their conversation. But as soon as we turned the corner, Sasuke kun vanished. We all played calm as if nothing happened.

"Ah Sakura chan, we were wondering where you two went. Where's Sasuke?" Kakashi had a welcoming facial expression.

"Uhm..he said he forgot a few things in the hospital the other day, so he went to go grab them." She said avoiding eye contact.

"I see, we'll I need to give you a couple healing scrolls for you to read back in the compound for you to study ok?" I gave Anata a look of concern.

"We'll meet you back there this afternoon for dinner."

"Mmph"
