Emotional Silence Part II 9- Brothers

*Sasuke's POV*

"Your fate has been drenched in blood! Since the day you were born an Uchiha! Now face me, my little brother! Once I kill you, I'll be transformed. I'll be freed from this wretched clan's destiny!" I close my eyes. This is absurd.

"If it's a transference of the Mangekyou, you should target Karin then. She's the one that went blind from it." He stops.

"What?"

"She trained with the Mangekyou and used it so much trying to master its power, she went blind after the first real fight using it. The flaw in the sibling logic is that twins have never been recorded in the clan." I pull the bandage off of my forehead and toss my cloak to the side. "You want this unlimited power, but wouldn't you need both of us, the eyes of both twins to get that? It all ends here."

"She's always been the stronger twin. You still don't stand a chance against me, no matter how strong you've gotten. You can't beat me because you don't have the Mangekyou. Your goal is still an illusion."

"Illusion or not, with hatred, I'll make the illusion a reality. And that reality is your death."

*Karin's POV*

No! That's impossible.

"Karin-san?"

"I'm fine."

'Karin-sama are you going to move?'

"Are you sure?"

'No. We'll see how this goes. If I finish here, I'll take care of Madara and then go after my brothers.' "Yes, I'm sure."

"That's bugging me."

"What?"

"Your eyes."

"Tsunade-sama. I'm going to go after him."

"NO! You wouldn't stand a chance against someone like that!"

"Watch me."

"Karin-san, it's a suicidal idea! If you go, you'll get yourself killed!"

"I know the secrets of the sharingan. Madara taught my older brother, and so in a way, he taught me as well. I am the only surviving member of the clan that can summon all of the Uchiha Birds, and besides Itachi, I am the only one that can use the Mangekyou sharingan. I may have been blinded by it, but for some reason, when I'm using my sharingan, I can see using sound. I have mastered powerful use of all five elements and am able to combine them at will. Years wear on any person, immortal or not, and the weakness of age can easily be defeated by a stronger mind. I won't lose." My hand flies to my face. My eye!

'Yuzu! What happened to Sasuke?!' This pain. Where is it coming from? I've never felt pain along with Sasuke before!

'Sasuke-sama's eye was just gouged out by Itachi-sama!' I can't take on Madara like this. I have to help Sasuke first.

'I'm on my way!' I separate my body and fly as fast as I can to my brothers. I get there and stop. The pain is gone. Was it an illusion? I'm here. I may as well assist. Sasuke can't do anything without my help. No. This is his fight. He's fine. I fly to Naruto and the others.

"Naruto! Get out of the way!" I assemble myself and jump out of the tree. "Flaming Blade Rasengan!" I ram the attack at Madara, he manages to dodge and I swing around. "Swirling Vortex of Light!" Lightning charged fire engulfs my enemy, I can tell by the air around me. I land and the flames fizzle out. They were probably purple, I still haven't gotten over the loss of Jiraiya, or the chance that I won't make it home alive.

"Karin! What are you doing here?"

"Helping!"

"Nice shot, Karin-san." I close my eyes and concentrate. I have about half a second to do this. Time for that new jutsu. I jump into the air and get a visual using my lookout bird. Good. Fire in my right hand, wind in my left. I gather the two chakras into the form of a sphere, then switch natures. Lightning and water, in a separate sphere. Now for the last one. Earth. Now, grab each sphere and spin them together, adding dark element chakra to hold it together.

"You guys had better get out, this is gonna make a mark." I can hear feet tapping as the Konoha ninja make a run for it.

"Who are you? Really?"

"Uchiha Karin. It's a pleasure to meet you, Madara-sama. Sorry, but it's time for you to leave this life." I run forward and thrust the attack at him, he manages to dodge me and I swing the attack around to hit him square on. I land on the forest floor and breathe heavily. Damn. I can barely see it. He escaped just before my attack did any fatal damage.

"Where did he go?"

"Kasha! Search for him! Now!"

"Yes, Karin-sama!" Wings flutter and the bird disappears.

"What was that attack? I've never seen anything like it!"

"I wanna know where you learned that Rasengan."

"Will you both just hush? I'm trying to do something!"

'Yuzu! What's the situation there?'

"What are you doing?"

"Checking on something. Just shut up."

'Fine. Sasuke-sama has run out of chakra and Orochimaru was released. But it appears as though Itachi-sama has sealed him with the Mystical Sword. The sword of Totsuka!' Great, Sasuke doesn't stand a chance now! I get up, but fall back down. Did I use too much chakra at once? I think back. It takes a lot of chakra to use the Flaming Blade Rasengan, and so does the vortex.

I usually pull from the reserve created by the mark to do both of them in succession. The attack that used most of my chakra must have been the Silent Night that I used. There's no other way to explain it. And I can sense that Sasuke is out of chakra.

"Are you okay?" I nod.

"That technique used more chakra than I anticipated."

"What was it?"

"I call it Silent Night. I combined the six elements into one big attack and rammed him with it. You see the affect it had on the ground. Mostly because the bastard got away just before I got him. It would have left a bloody mess in the center of the debris if it had hit."

"How did you manage to combine…" I manage to get up and look around. That's strange. I can sort of see them.

"A lot of practice."

"What was that Rasengan that you used?"

"I added a fire change in nature to the regular Rasengan. I only managed to be able to add that and lightning to it. I haven't managed wind, which was the next element I was going to work on it with."

"Don't. There are some serious side effects to the wind based one."

"How do you know that? Unless you managed it."

"Yea."

"Um, Uchiha-san. Can you see?"

"No you twit! What gave you that idea?!"

"Calm down please. I'm just curious. Your eyes are strange."

"I know. Tsunade pointed it out to me before I came."

"Incoming!"

"What are you doing here, Yuzu?"

"It's Sasuke-sama! You have to hurry, Karin-sama!"

"Why couldn't you just report that from your location?!" I change forms and fly to the hideout. The damage is incredible! I follow Yuzu to the ground and change back. "Sasuke!" I run to his side and check his pulse. Good. He's alive.

"Itachi-sama is dead."

"Really? He actually managed it?"

"It would appear so. The seal binding me to Itachi-sama's chakra has been released."

"The only way for that to happen is if he's dead, correct?"

"Precisely, Karin-sama." I examine Sasuke as best I can. It feels like he got hurt pretty bad.

"Nee-chan?"

"Sasuke! Don't scare me like that!" He laughs, but the laughter turns into a coughing fit. "Shit." I clutch my side. What the hell?!

"Nee-chan?!" My rib hurts, I count the bones in my head. This is the same bone that is broken in Sasuke's ribcage! This is strange. I've never felt pain with him like this before. First with the eye and now this. I use my technique and breathe. That's better. "Nee-chan? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." I've got a visual, but I have to keep tapping my foot to keep it. I can see slightly what I'm doing. I start using medical Ninjutsu. At least, I try to. I wiped out all of my chakra with those attacks. I collapse.

"Nee-chan!"
