A/N: Alright! So before you dear readers move on to the chapter, I have a small request here. Despite of the quick updates that I make, I do not receive much feedback from your end. A writer is nothing without readers and their feedbacks. So please, I humbly and desperately request you for some reviews. Thank You!
I'd like to dedicate this chapter to the 'Guest' who has been reviewing ever since I posted the first chapter and to Saba Sheikh, who gives me good constructive reviews. LOVE YOU TWO
Here's the 9th chapter of ACaR-
"He is the rain...
..washing away her colours.
Now they are the same-
A blank canvas..."
-Sai
Chapter 9: Blank Canvas
"My great grandson, Sasuke, has decided to settle down. He has found himself a suitable woman and wants to tie the knot with her in the sacred bond of marriage." Kiba spoke, mimicking Madara's exact words.
"Sacred my ass!" He yelled a second later.
"Pipe down, will you?! Unless ofcourse, you want the anbu to discover our hidden HQ." Temari warned in an irritated voice.
"Hn" Tenten scoffed, "atleast he's not just sitting silently about Sakura's betrayal."
"Tenten!" Lee yelled at her, "Sakura-san hasn't betrayed us. She will...she will never betray us..." Lee finished in a small hopeful tone.
All the members of FoK went silent after hearing Lee's words. They were all angry and confused about their pink-haired friend's sudden decision of going against them and marrying Sasuke. Everyone had known about her feelings for the young Uchiha who broke her trust and left the village to gain power under the commands of the former leaf shinobi named Orochimaru. Everyone knew that even after Sasuke's attempts at killing her and Naruto, both of them were still willing to save him from his dark past. Yet none of the members of FoK ever expected this to happen. None of them had ever expected Sakura to leave their side to join Sasuke in a bond of marriage.
"Whatever it is..we don't have much time to ponder about that bitch's traitorous decision." Samui declared firmly.
Her choice of words earned her a pulverising glare from Temari. The four-pogtailed kunoichi is a proper civilian from the village hidden in the sand but she isn't oblivious about her friends from the leaf. She is fully aware of Sakura's love for Sasuke but she also knows that the pinkette will never stoop this low to be with the guy of her dreams. She will never marry him like that on a whim so she can stay by his side forever. There is something more to this whole situation than meets the eye. With a tired sigh, she ran her eyes across the room. To her surprise, she found Sakura's best friend aka the Yamanaka clan's heiress lying as still as a rock on the lap of a very pale looking Sai(if that is even possible). All this time when some of the members of FoK were speaking against Sakura, Ino didn't even bat an eyelash. It's as if she isn't even present in this room, as if she is lost somewhere else in her thoughts.
"Her actions have been suspicious from the very beginning. I'm not surprised if she has betrayed us now." Samui stated as matter of fact.
"Nothing's suspicious about it!" Kiba argued.
"Yeah! There must be a good reason behind Sakura-san's decision." Lee agreed.
"And why do you guys think so? She couldn't even bring Hinata. So how can you expect anything good from her?" Tenten sneered.
"Tenten" this time Neji Hyuga spoke-up in a stiff tone, emphasizing every single word and it's syllables, " . ."
Neji has been hearing all of his comrades arguing over Sakura's loyalty for a while now, which is making his tongue itch to speak out for the poor girl but sadly, he cannot. Neji...I want this deal to remain a secret shared between only the two of us. I don't want you to tell anyone. He recalled her words. How he wants to speak-up for the pink-haired medic but cannot. No one but he knows how much Sakura has done for his clan by her marriage. But still, he has doubts about the Uchiha...doubts about his promise- whether he will stick to his words or not.
Tenten was eyeing Neji questioningly, wondering what he meant by his sudden statement. He tried to act as cool as possible and answered.
"What I mean is..I don't think we must accuse Sakura of a crime that she hasn't even committed." Neji explained.
"How can you be so sure that she isn't guilty? That she hasn't betrayed us?" Tenten asked, looking at him straight in the eyes.
"I...I'm not sure.. But we can't just accuse her without any evidence." Neji countered.
"Is it even necessary to look for an evidence? We all know that she has feelings for the Uchiha! She always had!" Tenten challenged.
"Tenten" Neji called her by her name yet again, "Shut up."
Those two words struck her like an arrow straight through her heart. She found it hard to believe that the Hyuga just ordered her to shut up? Shut up for what? For that pink haired kunoichi who couldn't even help them with the plan of a coup d'état? For the girl who couldn't even convince Hinata to join them? For the girl who has now taken the Uchihas' side?
She looked at him with an intense glare, "Neji, I can't believe it, you just shut me up for her? For her? What's so special about her, huh?"
Before the Hyuga Prodigy could answer his dual-bunned former teammate, the Nara clan's young genius spoke up.
"Quit it you two. There's no point in arguing."
"Yeah.." Choji agreed with his best friend and continued with his potato-chips stuffed-mouth, "Fhikamau's wight! Orjuvents mon't belp ush." (Shikamaru's right! Arguments won't help us.)
Darui felt relieved that someone finally put an end to his small team's quarrel. A clan's annihilation is going to occur soon and a group of misfits is not what he wants to be handling at these times. He wants a well-coordinated group of skilled shinobis and kunoichis, who can aid him in his coup against the Uchiha Government's orders.
He has been listening intently to their verbal fight. He was also present at the Hokage Tower for the hearing of Madara's announcement. And even though he doesn't know Sakura that well, he too suspects something fishy about Sakura's decision. She was even late for the meeting held yesterday. He recalled the previous days conversation that he had had with Ino, Sai and Tenten.
"She..." Ino went quite.
"She's at Hinata's." Tenten answered for Ino, "I met Ino and Sai in the streets today. So I asked them about Sakura and they told me that she has gone to talk to Hinata."
And then he also went through Sakura's explanation in his head.
"I was at the Hyugas'."
And also, how both Sakura and Neji gave completely contradicting answers in relation to the Hyuga Princess.
"It worked out." said Sakura.
But Neji uttered at the same time, "She won't be helping us."
All these hurriedly spoken confessions are more than enough for the former cloud nin to tell that most of these explanations given by his team members are plainly false. Ino's hesitance, Sai's silence, Tenten speaking in place of Ino and then Sakura and Neji's contrasting answers are all hinting towards some kind of hidden acts.
On suspecting this, Darui immediately called, "Ino! Sai! Yesterday...you both didn't know anything about Sakura's whereabouts. Am I right?"
Both the said persons gasped at his sudden question. Ino averted her eyes as if she was confronting herself about how she must go on with answering this query. Sai, on the other hand was looking expectantly at Ino, waiting for her to make a decision about their response to their leader. Yes! They both had lied the previous day about their pink-haired friend. Ino had informed Sai about Sakura's unexpected leave and thus, both of them had embarked on a trip around the village in search of the pinkette. But they had not prepared themselves for any encounters with the other members of the FoK. So when Tenten came up to them, Ino and Sai naturally lied to her and told the weapons' mistress that the girl in question is at the Hyuga's. Who knew one small lie would lead onto another one? And yet it did. Darui too asked them about Sakura and Tenten informed the cloud nin exactly what she herself had been told. Funny thing is, when Sakura arrived at the meeting thirty minutes late along with Neji (to everyone's surprise) and spoke exactly what Ino and Sai had used as a lie about her, they felt a sense of relief wash over their souls. So then, why is it that all of a sudden Darui is doubting them?
Sadly, if he is doubting them then he really must have caught on something from yesterday's meeting. Therefore Sai chose to let Ino shed some more tears for her friend while he left her side and walked towards the leader of the FoK to stand face-to-face with him.
"Yes. Indeed we lied. We didn't know anything about Sakura's location the previous day." Sai confessed the truth.
Every single member of their group gasped in shock but their leader's facial expression held no surprise. Creepy as it may appear, the dark-skinned man's demeanour remained calm and collected.
"Good" he patted Sai's back, "I'm glad that this time you've chosen to speak the truth."
"You both lied to me?!" Tenten yelled immediately after Darui's words.
Sai glanced at her and then shrugged with the best apologetic smile that he had learnt to put on within the past two months.
"You both lied!" Tenten yelled again.
"Yes they did," Shikamaru spoke up in a weirdly calm tone, "but this is not what must be questioned. The thing that we must be pondering about is Sakura."
"That's right." Temari joined, "Despite the lie told by Ino and Sai, Sakura was actually at the Hyuga compounds yesterday."
Darui nodded at the sand village's kunoichi and at the faithful Nara genius. Both of them had voiced his concern with the proper words. But the only person who can solve this completely tangled case is none other than the Hyuga Genius. He turned his eyes towards Neji, "Were you and Sakura actually at the Hyuga Compounds?"
For the first time in his life till date, Neji Hyuga tensed. He stood like a motionless statue, anxiety written all over his face. What should he do? Should he spill the beans? Should he hold onto his loyalty? He shook his head and lowered his head in contemplation. I don't want you to tell anyone. Sakura's words hammered into his thoughts yet again. She made this choice on her own free will. And if this is how she wants to go with it...like an unsung warrior..then so be it.
"We were at the Hyuga Compounds..to see Hinata-hime." He answered with an impassive face.
"Actually", Sai began, "Yesterday, Ino was keeping watch over Sakura. But then, Sakura somehow managed to escape the Yamanaka Flower Shop. Ino came to inform me about this and we began looking for her. It was at that very moment that Tenten stumbled upon us and asked us about Sakura."
Darui nodded his head and so, Sai went on, "We didn't want to create any kind of panic amongst the members of our already busy group, so Ino and I lied to Tenten. We thought that we'll be able to find Sakura in no time. We couldn't...But thankfully, Sakura joined us at the meeting along with Neji."
Sai explained, putting all the puzzle pieces in their proper place.
"Okay, Sakura escaped from Ino's watchful eyes and went to see Hinata. It is only natural since she herself suggested the idea of taking Hinata's help. Neji was also there at the Hyuga Compounds at that time." Shikamaru concluded Sai's explanation.
Yet, however legit this explanation may appear, there is still something that is unsolved. And it can't be solved until they find the missing puzzle piece. And that piece is, Sakura's marriage. All this mess doesn't put a finger on anything related to her unexpected marriage to the Uchiha Prodigy.
"So most of our problems have been concluded." Darui spoke, "But we still have no idea about Sakura's decision of marrying Sasuke."
"Like Tenten said, there's no need for any explanations. The girl has feelings for the Uchiha." Samui stated.
"No," Darui shook his head before Kiba or Lee could violently protest against Samui's words.
"I may not know much about Sakura or any of you guys from the leaf and sand. But something about that pink-haired girl screams loyalty to me. I don't think she can betray us for something like love. Love is supposed to make people help out those in need. Love doesn't make one selfish. It turns people into selfless souls..." Darui explained with an image of innocently smiling Sakura flashing before his mind's eyes.
"Love is an emotion that can make people achieve great heights. Love makes us strong. You are all expressing different emotions because you are concerned about your friend, Sakura. Some of you are anxious, some angry while others are silently wondering about her act. But unknowingly, you are all expressing disappointment for your friend's action because you all love her." Everyone listened silently to their pale-white haired leader's explanation.
He then went on, "Also if Sakura is marrying Sasuke because she loves him, then you are wrong. Even if she does love him, then too there must be another hidden reason for her doing so."
"Right" Shikamaru agreed, "but as of right now, thinking about our coup must be our top priority. Sakura's decision can be investigated later on."
"Yeah..." Kiba nodded, "You're right."
Samui and Tenten lowered their heads when they realised their mistake. Darui is speaking the truth about their emotions. They hold nothing against Sakura but for some reason, her sudden decision has disappointed them. Maybe it is because of her constant quiet behaviour for which they trusted her and never expected her to turn against them. It's just their bonds that are hurting them...
"About Sakura," Sai hesitantly began but when he noticed how everyone's attention had perked, he went on, "you all can plan out the coup while I, as a member of the anbu, can go and have a talk with Sakura."
Temari bolted up at that, "This is a really good idea! I agree with Sai."
"Me too!" Lee jumped up and down in excitement.
By the looks on other's faces, Darui confirmed that everyone was in agreement with Sai's ideology. So he allowed Sai to leave for his task while he discussed the last bits of their coup d'état.
"So, a pink-haired Uchiha. That's a first."
The words were addressed to Sakura by a very amused looking, explosive art-loving blond shinobi. She turned away from the window in the Hokage's Room to face the former Stone Village Ninja. A crooked sort of grin was plastered on his face and he had his right arm draped around the shoulders of his partner, the former Sand Village Ninja aka Sasori of the Red Sand. For some unknown reason, they both decided to stay in the room with her. Who knows? Maybe to bother her? But she was not at all in the mood to talk to anyone, especially if one of them happened to be a man that she had once killed in a punch.
"I think she's ignoring us." The young-looking, red-haired shinobi suggested in an amused tone.
"Hn! Whatever." muttered the blond and moved to stand next to the sullen female.
"You know what? Madara expects..." , Deidara paused to correct himself, "Madara wants grandsons from you. So...I already feel irritated at the prospect of little versions of Sasuke roaming around this place."
He smirked amusedly at the pinkette who finally decided to roll out some words from her silent tongue, "I wonder what would it be like to see little pink haired boys running around this place with their Sharingan."
It took the two re-animated shinobi a few seconds to realise that the girl had made a joke about her hair colour. And a sarcastic one at that. Sasori couldn't stop the small smirk from creeping on his face when he saw his blond partner grinning like an idiot at the little joke.
"Those boys will still be Uchihas." Sasori stated.
"But they'll look more Uchiha like without my hair trait." She shot back.
"I see you're getting quite cozy around each-other." A sly voice remarked when the door swung open to reveal a red-cloaked figure.
Kabuto slithered his way towards the three occupants of the room and smiled with an evil glint in his eyes. He glanced at his two re-animated shinobis and then moved his gaze to settle it on the only female amongst them. He grinned at her to reveal the creepy kind of opening of his wide jaw. It made the girl cringe but she kept her cool by hiding her fear behind a stoic face.
All throughout the war Kabuto Yakushi had stayed in the shadows and pulled the strings to control various dead men. But his reanimation jutsu was stopped somewhere in the middle of the war. Rumours kept circulating around in every nook and corner and one fine day, they even reached the ears of the fifth Hokage's disciple, Sakura Haruno. She heard several descriptions of how Itachi Uchiha was the one who put an end to Kabuto's tricks. But how? If Kabuto was the one acting like the puppeteer and pulling the strings, then how come one of his own puppets managed to stop him? Maybe Itachi Uchiha really is a legend? Or maybe it's just a rumour? But most of the times...rumours turn out to be the truth. Then...how? This is a tormenting topic. And what's even more tormenting, is the fact that Itachi didn't really kill Kabuto. He merely stopped the user from manipulating his puppets. He let the puppeteer live. He gave Kabuto a chance. And because of that very chance, this sick sycophant of Orochimaru is grinning from one ear to the other at a very irritated pink haired kunoichi.
Sakura glared at him and muttered out as calmly as possible, "What?"
"Well hello to you too, Sakura-chan." The snake drawled out immediately.
Sakura sighed loudly, wondering exactly how long she'll have to suffer in the presence of these crazy men.
"I wonder..." slithered Kabuto.
The pinkette knew that he was teasing her deliberately and wouldn't continue unless she asks him to. So she questioned, "Wonder what?"
The creepy guy snickered and answered, "I wonder how long have Sasuke-kun and you been having this clandestine affair."
She wanted to laugh in his face. Laugh at his choice of words because there never was any affair going on between the two. She used to harbour feelings for the dark avenger of her team. And these feelings later on developed into a very strong emotion- Love. Yes! Unfortunately she fell in love with the young Uchiha Prodigy right after he left her all by herself on a cold bench in the middle of the night. Because that very night, she witnessed the true personality of that boy and realised how alone and lost he was. And it is because of this realisation that she truly fell for him and decided that she wanted to save him. Sasuke on the other hand, never showed any interest in her. No. Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno never had an affair. They just happened to be together on the same team. Nothing more...
"Hmm...maybe it all started in the Forest of Death with the curse-mark?" Kabuto guessed, adjusting his glasses to the level of his piercing yellow irises.
"Or maybe...you two had been together even before that?" He whispered in her face with a sly grin on his face.
Unbeknownst to her own self, she had clenched her palm into fists and was currently shaking with rage, trying her best to keep herself from punching this snaky man right in his face and then yank out his tongue to chop it off and snatch away his ability of speech forever. Kabuto has hit a nerve he shouldn't have. He is well-aware of her feelings for the Uchiha and is just messing with her on purpose. She gritted her teeth and released a long breath before speaking.
"What do you want?" She muttered, trying to keep her anger in check.
"Oh come on, Sakura-chan! I'm just here on the Lord Hokage's orders." He feigned a look of hurt by placing one of his scaly palm on the position of his heart beneath his equally scaly chest.
She groaned in irritation and simply turned around to face the window again and ignore the presence of those three men.
Kabuto understood that she won't be turning back any time soon and so, he signalled the two other men in the room with a slight tilt of his head. On seeing his action, both of them brought out their arms and caught her wrists to keep her from moving. She gasped at the sudden intrusion but the guys kept on ignoring her and turns her around to face Orochimaru's sycophant once again. She began flailing her hands but a huge snake crawled out from underneath Kabuto's veil and coiled around her form.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" She yelled.
"Now now, an Uchiha bride mustn't raise her voice like this. It's bad for her reputation." Kabuto teased.
He pulled a small scroll from inside one of the sleeves of his cloak and spread it open infront of him. He then began making numerous hand signs, all the while keeping his eyes fixed on her angered state.
"What is it?!" She shouted again but earned no answer.
He continued on with his hand signs and once he was done, he grinned maniacally at her and slammed his palms on the intricate seals that were drawn on the scroll. Instantly, a surge of light blinded them and out came a tiny, mustard-coloured snake. It moved towards Sakura's left hand and crawled all the way up to her wrist, winding around it in a tight grasp. She shrieked, both in shock and fear. The little reptile made a low hissing sound and dug his fangs into the skin of her wrist. Sakura began losing the colour from her skin and paled in fear. The snake turned into a gold bracelet with it's scales etched into the accessory in a beautiful pattern.
"What is this, Kabuto?" She asked in fright.
A numbness spread all across her body and the pumping of her heart stopped for a second. Then it began to beat again but the strength she used to feel in herself was gone. It's as if her chakra was gone, leaving only small pints of it in her form.
"What...what did you do?" She asked desperately.
The snake-look alike grinned even more and her eyes widened in realisation. Her chakra points had been blocked.
Sai knew exactly where he'd find the solution to his problem. And his assumption turned out to be true. He saw Sasuke Uchiha resting atop a tree branch which happened to be in the vicinity of the Hokage Tower. The guy looked as silent and emotionless as he always is. Briefly Sai wondered why in the world did Naruto and Sakura want to help him out? Because clearly this guy is a stubborn brat who is way too blinded by his clan. Sasuke is nothing short of egotistical. As he knows that Sasuke is already aware of his presence, Sai takes in a deep breath and waits for the young prodigy to face down at him.
After a duration of five minutes, he realizes that Sasuke won't speak, so he himself decides to start the conversation, "We need to talk."
"I know you dislike me. But atleast try to show some respect to the grandson of the Hokage." The raven haired guy replied curtly.
"I apologize, Sasuke-kun. But seriously..we need to talk." Sai stated.
"Meh...I'd suggest you to stay away. He's not in a good mood right now." came the voice of a man sitting underneath a tree near Sasuke.
"Suigetsu-san" Sai greeted.
"Sai" the sharp-toothed guy returned the greeting.
Both of them came to know each-other on the day that Sai entered the Hokage Tower and requested Madara for a position in the anbu division. Suigetsu was the one who had guided him with all the things necessary for his entrance. They get to see each-other on a frequent basis just because they are both working like underdogs for the Uchiha but they never really engage in any kind of conversation other than the usual greetings. And although Suigetsu will never admit it, he has always wanted to talk to this pale-skinned shinobi who has now taken Sasuke's place in his former team.
Sai huffed out in annoyance, an action that he has learnt from Ino. They've been spending a lot of time together ever since the end of the war. The blonde female has been very kind towards him and always tries her best to help him out with his emotions. Maybe because of his connections with Sakura, Ino has become extremely friendly with him. A small unexpected smile graced upon his pale lips and he lowered his head to hide the joy he felt just by thinking about the Yamanaka Heiress. But thoughts of her also reminded him of her present sad condition.
He looked-up at Sasuke and began, "I need to talk about Sakura-san. I know she isn't marrying you on her choice."
The minute he uttered those words, Suigetsu choked on the water that he had been sipping from his bottle. He narrowed his purple irises in anxiety and turned his gaze towards the young Uchiha. Bad move, dude. He thought to himself as he gulped down on more water.
The said man finally opened his closed lids and glared down at Sai with his threatening Sharingan. "And who do you think made that choice for her?" He gritted out in his sinister, dark tone.
Sai lowered his head again, but this time in confusion, "Honestly speaking Sasuke-kun..I don't really know. I don't know why she is doing this but I know she doesn't want to marry you."
"Hn" Sasuke scoffed, "She always wanted to be with me."
"Not like this." Sai replied immediately.
The Uchiha's eyes narrowed into fine slits at his words. Not like this? Then like what?! As far as he remembers, Sakura has always loved him and even though she isn't admitting her feelings right now, she still loves him. She does. Sasuke knows that she will keep loving him despite of everything that has transpired between the two. He also knows that she is marrying him for the sake of a deal but Sakura would've married him even without any deals. Atleast..he thinks she will.
"She loves me." He stated the fact.
Suigetsu coughed this time, his eyes as wide as saucers after hearing Sasuke's statement. Sai too expressed hints of shock on his face. A brief moment passed in silence after which Sai spoke up.
"I know something's going on. I know she's hiding something. And because of that something, she has decided to marry you." said Sai.
Sasuke clenched his fists. This guy merely knows anything about team 7. How long has Sai been with them? Not longer than him, right? He knows everything about Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura like the back of his palms. Sai is nothing more than a pathetic replacement for his position in the team. Does Sai know the members of his team as well as him? No. So then...how does this stupid replacement know that Sakura is not marrying him plainly out of love but for some other reason?
"We were alone." Sai spoke again.
When he saw the quirk of one of Sasuke's brow, he continued, "When you..when you killed Naruto, Kakashi sensei lost it. He..he went into a coma. He's still not conscious and no one knows if he ever will be. Captain Yamato was gone. Sakura even had to declare herself dead and leave her parents. She disguised herself under the alias Doctor Kimiko Minamoto. So that left only me and Sakura. We became the only two remaining members of team 7. We were alone. We only had each-other. But then..Ino came to us and Shikamaru and Neji and many more. We formed a family again. But now..", Sai paused midway to glare at him, "She will be alone again. Alone..because you have taken her away from me and Ino and many of her other friends. She was finally rising up again..coming out of her state of torment. But now...she'll be in even more despair than before..."
If he was even the slightest bit affected by Sai's words then Sasuke is way too good at hiding it. He didn't even twitch after hearing this long speech. Just as Sai was about to speak again, Sasuke interrupted.
"Isn't it always like this? I am Sasuke Uchiha. I always take away what is mine." The raven stated calmly.
"What makes you think she's yours?" Sai asked with an edge in his voice.
Suigetsu noticed the Sasuke clenching and unclenching his palms, trying his best to keep calm. Uh-Oh! Not good. Suigetsu stood up from his spot underneath the shade of the tree and walked towards the two conversing dark-haired nins.
"Sasuke..Man..I think that Sai is right. That girl is not a non-living object that you can put your signature on. You can't claim her."
"Whatever..If you're done, then leave already." The Uchiha spoke without any trace of emotion.
Sai couldn't believe what the Uchiha just said. Sasuke doesn't care even a bit. It's like throwing words at deaf ears. Yes! Now Sai has realised it. Sasuke Uchiha is engulfed by the hatred. Darkness has eaten up all of him. Sasuke is a blank canvas now, just like he used to be.
"I was a blank canvas." Sai spoke.
Sasuke looked at him coolly while Suigetsu waited for him to elaborate.
"I..used to be a blank canvas..until I met him..Naruto..and then Sakura-san and Yamato Taichou and Kakashi sensei and..Ino... They all changed me.." He smiled dreamily, something he had never done before, "They painted this blank canvas." Sai finished, gesturing towards himself.
Sai didn't wait for any response from either of the two men listening to him. He turned on his heel and began walking out of the place.
It wouldn't have been possible for any commoners to hear Sai's words but Sasuke's trained ears caught on the words that his replacement had whispered before departing.
"You are also a blank canvas...and you'll turn her into one as well..."
A/N: So the chapter ends here. If any of you are still confused about Sasuke's behaviour, then let me explain. Remember the time when he killed Danzo and also stabbed Karin? He was evil at that time. I have based my Sasuke in that way: The who only cares about his clan and revenge and is too lost in the dark.
If you have time, take a look at my SasuSaku one-shot book entitled 'Embers of Passion', if you are interested in reading...:)
Anyways, what do you guys think of the FoK?
Kabuto has sealed Sakura's chakra points. What do you think about this?
And what do you think of Sasuke?
Until next time guys 👉
