Chapter 8: The Sadness
Sasuke reached the apartment of his sisters when Naruto got in front him "follow me " Sasuke glared, but followed him they reached the roof of the hospital "what" " I won't let you leave us Sasuke " "hmph over my dead body " " as you wish Sasuke!" Naruto yelled they fought for 10 minutes Sakura had watched the whole thing Naruto had his Rasengan and Sasuke Chidori. Sakura was devastated and screamed " Stop!" before the attacks hit each other Kakashi deflected the attack Sasuke had run off pissed that Kakashi had interrupted their battle. He looked to where Naruto Resangan hit he had thought it was just a small attack due to how it enter the water tank, but he underestimated the strength and he clenched his fists ' how could Naruto become so much stronger than me?' he thought seething through his teeth. He rushed home and packed a bag and headed for the front door, but he noticed I was blocking his way "what are you going to fight me too?" "If that's what I have to do to get you to listen to me than I will" I said glaring Sasuke didn't really want to see my full abilities he couldn't stand a chance against me to begin with " look you can't stop me from leaving" "no I can't, but I know Orochimaru and he's not looking out for you only for himself think clearly I can train you " "no you can't your mind is corrupted by this village" " A village that took you in when our family was slaughtered!" I shouted my hands shaking with anger "you know nothing of what happened that day" " I do understand what happened and that doesn't give you the reason to go run off to Orochimaru and say hey train me he's going use for his ow sake not yours " "Orochimaru can give me the power to kill Itachi" I had stopped listening "Look Itachi slaughtered the clan for a reason, but know this he did love you and I love you too"
That stopped Sasuke for a minute, but walked past me " Remember you don't have to do this I just want you to do want's right and this isn't it " He didn't hear that part just walked out the door and slammed it shut. When he reaching the gates Sakura stopped him " don't go please don't go " "and why should I? " " I love you and couldn't bear it if you left so please don't leave!" He got behind her and she didn't see it in time " Sakura...Thank you" and knocked her out and place her on the bench and left the village. The next morning Shikamaru had gathered Kiba Neji Chouji and Naruto to help rescue Sasuke , in the meantime I was still standing in the same spot where I stood when talk to that little brat of a brother when the door bell ranged I turned around on the spot and answered it "What!" I practically shouted " um did someone wake you from the wrong side of the bed " Shikazu remarked with his arms crossed "no come in " and I stormed off into the kitchen and sat down at the table. He followed cautiously the last he had seen me this pissed off was with Orochimaru and it was not a pretty sight he didn't quite remember what triggered it, but Orochimaru learned his lesson that day.
Shikazu went to the cabinets to search for some herbal tea to make to calm the nerves, but couldn't find any he sweat dropped he knew I never run out of that stuff, but today I guess I had he sighed and sat down across from me. I looked at him " What " "nothing, but what happened?" "Tsk" I turned my head away from him Shikazu figured it out his nephew went out on a mission early this morning it had to something about Sasuke he smirked very slightly " is it Sasuke?" I turned and slammed my fist onto the table "that brat!" "well you could've stopped him" " no I couldn't even if I put him into the hospital he would leave just as he was well enough to move" " you could've broken his legs" "tsk even if I do that the answers still the same " Shikazu knew I was suffering in saddness knew that the only family I had was my siblings and both were now rogue or missing nin. There was a knock on the door and I sighed and answered it "What!" "Hey who died?" Jiraiya asnwered worried " no one " and went back to kitchen table Jiraiya saw Shikazu there and went straight for the cabinets " there's no Herbal tea if that's what you searching for" Shikazu replied "naw looking for shot glasses but these will be fine " Jiraiya took out three small glasses and set them down on the kitchen table "please tell you've got booze" "yep Whiskey" he said with a smile " good" he poured the whiskey into the three glasses and handed them out but I grabbed them and downed all three of them Jiraiya stared speechless "hey I was wanting one " Shikazu shooked his head helplessly.
Ino was with Tenten later that morning she was worried about Chouji and Ino patted her on the back " Chouji a strong man knowing he's got a strong Kunouchi waiting for him at home " Ino exclaimed with a smile Tenten smiled back knowing Ino was right, but she couldn't shake off this bad feeling in her gut that something terrible was going to happen. They found Sakura at the ramen stand "hey Sakura let's go do something fun" Ino said with a smile she knew Sakura needed it and that's what she was gonna do "fine" was all Sakura said she was still depressed that Sasuke didn't stay because she knew and he knew they loved each other deeply, but she also knew revenge was the top of his list right now of things to do. They went off to find Hinata and get her to have a little fun and they did find her by the training grounds she was training with Kiba and Shino "Hey Hinata how about you take a break and come with us girls to do something" "o...ok" she said standing up and brushing herself off. The girls went to the hotspring once they were the water they all sighed in relaxation "this feels great!" Ino exclaimed blessfully the other girls nodded in agreement 20 minutes later Shizune, Tsunade and myself showed up and got into the water as well " hello girls " I said with a fixed smiled Tsunade knew I was drunk knew that I was pissed off that Sasuke had pulled off the stunt and had not listen to a word she had said.
Sakura saw how troubled I was and said " he'll come back Naruto promised me" I looked in her direction with a look of slight hope, but knew it was a lost cause I waded to Sakura and put my hand on her shoulder " if you want to help get Sasuke back train with Tsunade and me we'll get you and you three strong to do almost anything." I said and gave a wink to Tsunade, Tsunade just stared at me, but I knew she agreed with me and I smiled. I got out and went to change it was getting late and I had things to do and steam to let off Sakura watched me go "She pissed because of Sasuke isn't she?" "yea, but she let him go hoping he'd realize going to Orochimaru is a bad mistake and hopefully he'll come back" "I see" Sakura didn't blame me for seeing that way Sasuke was my brother she knew Sasuke didn't know about sister just his brother. Sakura sighed and got out too she getting despressed again and needed to do something to get her mind off it.
At the gates of Konoha Kio and Shimo had appeared "it sure hasn't changed since the last time we saw it eh Shimo?" asked Kio Shimo hadn't forgotten he smiled remember the day that he had over heard Kio and Nena talking he had also heard him confessed that he liked her, but Shimo knew better Kio was in love with Nena and that frustrated him for he was in love with her as well, but his father had him busy all the time that he couldn't hang out with her when he wasn't busy with Ninja affairs. Shimo eyes lowered at memory and he knew Kio was thinking the same "Shimo let's get some ramen for old time sakes " "sure" they get to Ichiraku ramen and they see Shimo nephew Shino and Kio leaves to give them bonding time Kio continue to walk and saw someone he dreaded to see " Hey Kio" I said "Hey Emiko what's up?" " nothing just walking about" "Have you seen Nena" of course Kio knew she had not, but had to ask " no " " I see thanks, but I'm gonna continue my stroll see ya later" "later" and I leave Kio sighed he wasn't going to see or talk to Nena again til he ran into her "Nena?" She stood there surprised to see him "Kio?" she said.
