Destiny Chapter: 11
Sorry this chapter took so long. I was having writers block; but in the end I won heheh.
Disclaimer: same drill; I own my characters and plot,Chibi Star Vampowns Sasura and half of Izumi, everything else isn't mine. Please review!
Sakura barely managed to pull Sasuke out of the way of a fireball before it burnt him to a crisp. He could feel the searing heat burning against his face. He stood up and looked at his two attackers; this had to be a Transformation Jutsu or a Genjutsu. There was no way his mother and brother were alive. Sasuke could feel his anger grow and his Susanoo's laugh echoed through his skull as it started to influence him.
"How dare they pretend to be my family! I'll make them wish they had never been born, but… if they are fakes…. How are they using Uchiha Fire Jutsu and using Mangekyou Sharingan?"Sasuke thought to himself as he dashed up to Itachi.
He brought his right arm up and shoved his elbow into his jaw; he then used his left arm and drew his sword. The sword made a ringing noise as it cut through Itachi; cutting from his left hip up to his right shoulder in one fluid motion and he then sheathed the sword. The cut through Itachi's chest healed and he looked up at Sasuke with a hideous grin. Sasuke knew that if this was the real Itachi, than he posed no threat to Sasuke at his power level, and his mom was even weaker.
"I'll make you pay for impersonating my family!" Sasuke yelled as he ducked to avoid a punch from Itachi then jumped up to avoid a flurry of senbon his mother had thrown at him. The thin needles lodged themselves into the sidewalk and Sasuke looked over to the side to make sure Sakura was okay. She was over about 20 feet from where Sasuke was fighting standing protectively in front of Izumi and Sasura.
"Stay there!" Sasuke shouted as he avoided a blow from Itachi and pulled a handful of specially made kunai from a pouch on his left leg. He tossed them up into the air and they spun in front of him for a few seconds while he took in a deep breath, "Fire Element- Crimson Balsam Nails." he ignited the kunai and they were propelled and lodged themselves into his mother's chest -lighting her Akatsuki cloak ablaze.
She pulled the star shaped weapons from her chest and her wounds healed just like Itachi's had. Sasuke had never seen a jutsu like this before. Their wounds healed yet their bodies didn't use any chakra to heal it like his Susanoo or a Tailed-Beast would.
"It will take much, much, more than that to defeat us little brother." Sasuke gasped, that was Itachi's voice. He was so shocked by it that he didn't notice his mother appear behind his back until he felt his already burned back light up with a pain worse than any he had experienced before.
He fell to the ground gasping and saw tiny wisps of black flames coming from his back. He knew them as the black fire of Amateratsu. Itachi appeared in front of him and kicked him sending him into a streetlight which bent under the force of his impact. Itachi and his mother both lunged at Sasuke, who was in so much pain, he could barely stop himself from passing out.
"Don't touch my daddy!" Izumi appeared in front of Sasuke with her Susanoo formed around her. She swung her arm and both of the Uchihas were sent through a wall.
Izumi turned to Sasuke and her left eye twitched; the pain in Sasuke's back disappeared as the flames were extinguished. Sasuke tried to sit up to help his daughter but he groaned out in pain when he tried to move. His back was so badly burnt that he couldn't move. Itachi and Mikoto appeared behind Izumi. They both shot large fireballs from their mouths at Izumi. The flames hit her angelic Susanoo but didn't seem to affect it.
"Inner Izumi!" Izumi said as she formed a hand-sign that Sasuke didn't recognize and an outline of Izumi appeared above her –but below her Susanoo- and hovered there. Sakura gasped. She thought she was the only one who had an 'inner self' and she didn't know it could be projected like that.
Izumi looked over at Sasura, "Come over here, I need your help to do "that jutsu" so I can beat them!" She shouted and Sasura ran behind her sister's Susanoo as she batted away her attackers. Then Izumi turned to look at Sasura. Izumi held out her hands with her palms facing towards Sasura and the raven haired girl did the same. They held their palms a few inches away from each other and Sasura formed her 'Inner Sasura' as well.
Both girl's chakras spiked. Itachi and Mikoto tried to attack them but Izumi's Susanoo was big enough to protect them both.
"White flame Chidori!"
"Blooming Chidori!"
Two Chidori made of what looked like a white Amateratsu appeared in Izumi's hands and two pink ones with flower petals swirling around them appeared in Sasura's hands. Izumi shut off her Susanoo and she lunged at Itachi while Sasura attacked Mikoto. Sasura's Chidori hit Mikoto square in the chest -rather than just healing the attack like she had done, she crumbled into dust. Izumi was inches away from doing the same to Itachi when he grabbed her wrists roughly. He lifted her off the ground and her Chidori disappeared. Itachi looked Izumi in the eyes and his right eyes twitched. Izumi was completely unaffected by the Tsukuyomi.
"Those kinds of jutsu don't work on me." Izumi said as she lifted her legs and kicked Itachi in the face. She had inherited Sakura's super human strength and the force she put into the kick knocked Itachi back and he let go of her wrists.
Sakura was healing the massive wound of Sasuke's back; it was taking much longer than it should have. She looked up and saw Izumi fighting the man she recognized as Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother. But how could that be? Sasuke had killed Itachi. Sakura remembered something Lady Tsunade had once told her about a jutsu Orochimaru knew called Impure World Resurrection. Maybe somebody had brought back Sasuke's brother and mother to enrage him. She guessed it was the time traveler who had done it; he was probably trying to awaken Tobi's consciousness to take over Sasuke's body.
Itachi ducked under Izumi and grabbed the back of her shirt. He spun around and threw her against the ground. Izumi moaned out in pain as Itachi picked her up again and threw her against the ground once again. The sidewalk cracked under the force Itachi was using; Sasuke's anger grew and he was very close to letting his Susanoo take full control over him. Sasuke tried to stand but nearly collapsed; his back was still badly burnt.
"Just let me take over; I can defeat him."His Susanoo whispered in his mind. Sasuke saw Itachi hit Sasura with a fireball and the little girl was sent into a nearby building. Itachi then turned his attention back to Izumi who was laying face-down in a crater from Itachi throwing her into the ground. Sasuke knew in order to save his family; that he needed to let his Susanoo out.
"Please… just… save my family."Sasuke thought as his vision became black and his Susanoo awakened.
Sasuke opened his pitch black eyes and gave a hideous smile; he disappeared, leaving Sakura confused. He appeared behind Itachi and shoved his fist through Itachi's chest. He pulled Itachi away from Izumi and formed a Chidori and slammed it through his face. Before Itachi could heal the damage, Sasuke drew his sword and ran electricity through the blade covering it in black lightning. He slashed through Itachi's arm and then brought it down and slashed his torso in two. Itachi's body merely healed the damage and he stood back up. He turned and tried to hit Sasuke. Sasuke caught his arm and twisted behind Itachi; Sasuke's entire right arm was covered in glowing purple armor, resembling the arm of his Susanoo. He thrust the arm through Itachi's back and through his heart. Itachi's body turned to dust and crumbled into a small pile on the ground. It was carried away on the wind leaving just Sakura and the three Uchihas.
Sasuke turned and stared at Sakura with his inky black eyes. She had Sasura and Izumi protectively behind her and she looked at Sasuke with a fear-filled expression. Sasuke took a step towards them and Sakura tensed up.
"Don't you dare touch them!" she yelled as she held up Sasuke's sword, Kusanagi, which he had apparently dropped during the fight.
"I promised Sasuke I would save you three; I don't see why he cares for you so much though."The Susanoo said in a demonic voice. The seal on Sasuke's chest started glowing a fiery red color. It burned through Sasuke's shirt and glowed even brighter. A dark blue and a red orb came out of the seal and spun around Sasuke. A black orb shot out of Sasuke's body and all three went into the seal on his chest. Sasuke's body changed back to normal and he collapsed on the ground with athud.
Future Sasuke's hideout
"No!" Future Sasuke yelled as he slammed his fist into the wall of his base; the entire structure shook from the force he put into it. He slowly stood up. His plan was completely ruined now.
It would be better to just kill Sasuke and take over the past on his own… which was exactly what he was going to do. He walked over to a locked door and pulled a special key from his pocket -the door clicked open. Inside was a room that looked like a laboratory. Sasuke unrolled some bandages that completely covered his right arm; it was covered in what looked like red tattoos
That was the reason Sasuke had traveled in time; a deadly disease was released in the future, and the only way it can be cured is by a certain gene found only in Uchihas. But due to an event Naruto had caused, Sasuke's DNA was changed and he no longer carried it. Sasuke tried to go back in time to collect the gene from his past self so he could save Sakura after she was infected, but he was attacked by Tobi. Sasuke activated his Susanoo to defend himself but the jutsu malfunctioned. It sent him to a completely alternate universe, which is why he doesn't fade when something happens to Sasuke like Sasura and Izumi do. Since both Sasuke and Tobi were sent through together, their consciousnesses were fused together as well as his Susanoo's. Although it damaged Sasuke's sanity enough so Tobi could take complete control over him. Tobi now had almost complete control of the body.
"I have no choice; now I must destroy that damn Uchiha." Sasuke muttered to himself. "The virus has now fully matured; I just have to infect somebody in the Leaf Village and it will spread till every last one of them is dead." He said to himself as he looked at the tattoos that seemed to squirm and writhe on his flesh.
Unknown location
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes -rather than seeing his bedroom like he expected, Sasuke saw he was in what looked like a basement. It was mostly bare aside from the Uchiha crest on one wall. The floor was made of old boards and there was a long staircase leading to a door the presumably led out of the room. Sasuke was sitting in an old chair -he looked up and gasped. Sitting in front of him in two other chairs where Tobi and a demon-like being, he presumed was his Susanoo. It had purple lizard-like scales, two ram horns on the side of its head, and six fingers on each hand and had long claws and fangs that would put Suigetsu's teeth to shame.
Tobi spoke up first, "Good going idiot, now all three of us are stuck in here." He said in a pissed off voice as he turned away from Sasuke.
"Where exactly is here?" Sasuke asked ignoring Tobi's comment.
"Inside of your seal, when you released me, you damaged the seal very badly. It was already unstable since it had two things sealed within it. It also sealed your consciousness and damaged the seal so badly none of us are able to get out."His Susanoo explained in its dark voice. Although the explanation was crazy, it did make some sense. How else could he be talking to a dead guy and a demon? Sasuke ran up the steps to the door. He tried with all his might to pull it open but the door wouldn't even budge. He lowered his shoulder and tried ramming the door down but received the same results.
"We've already tried that you idiot. The only way for us to get out, is for all three of us to agree on one of us to be freed." Tobi said still pissed.
"And before you say it, we don't care that it's originally your body."Susanoo added before Sasuke could say it.
"Well, Tobi, I don't think we even have to ask to decide that it's not going to be him." Sasuke said gesturing to Susanoo.
"Agreed." Tobi said and Susanoo shot both of them a pissed off look.
"Why not me?"Susanoo asked angrily.
"Because all you ever do is destroy things." Sasuke said in his monotone voice.
"I spared your family, and the only thing I destroyed was your brother…. And a few buildings and streetlamps, but those don't count."Susanoo actually sounded offended at the two Uchihas.
"Well if you were completely released, I'm sure a lot more than a few buildings would be at risk." Tobi said as he adjusted his mask.
"Well how can we trust you Madara? You still wear that mask after your dead… Well close enough to it."Susanoo asked. Madara reached up and threw off his mask. He actually resembled Sasuke a lot; but his hair was longer and his face was a bit different.
"Happy now?" he asked sarcastically.
"Humph; you actually don't look that bad Madara, I thought you would be deformed under that mask."Susanoo joked as he gave a dark chuckle.
"Says the psychopathic demonic thing." Madara countered.
"Take that back before I shred you to pieces!"Susanoo held one of his clawed hands up for emphasis.
"Make me." Madara said; he soon regretted it as Susanoo tackled him to the ground and tried to swipe him with his claws. Sasuke sighed… it was going to be difficult to get those two to agree on anything, let alone who should get out of here.
Leaf Village hospital
"He's what!" Sakura yelled making sure she had heard Tsunade correctly.
"He's in a coma. He forcibly released his Susanoo and it damaged the seal, now all three of his consciousnesses are trapped in it." Lady Tsunade explained to a distressed Sakura.
"Can't you just break the seal or something?" Sakura nearly screamed.
"That's not a good idea; it would release all three consciousnesses at the same time and either destroy his body and mind, or fuse all three together and he would go on a rampage." Tsunade said to her pink haired student.
"Well is there any way to wake him up?" Sakura asked as she nervously paced around the waiting room.
"Not that I know of," she saw Sakura's head whip towards her in distress. "But I'm working on it." Tsunade said as she put her hand comfortingly on Sakura's shoulder.
"What if he never wakes up?" Tears started rolling down Sakura's features and she fell to her knees at the thought.
"Don't think like that Sakura; I'll make sure he wakes up." Tsunade said as she helped Sakura stand up. "Now, I have some paperwork that needs to be done; you can stay with Sasuke if you wish." Tsunade said as she hugged her student tightly. She then turned and left as she looked over her shoulder and told Sakura goodbye.
Sakura walked into the room Sasuke was in; he was wearing a hospital gown and he was covered in sweat. Most of his injuries from the fight with Itachi and his mother were already healed. He made a few grumbling sounds and would twitch occasionally but showed no signs of waking up. Sakura walked over to him and held his hand in hers. She sat down on the edge of the bed next to him as she slowly ran her pointer finger over his hand.
"Please wake up Sasuke… I need you… the baby needs you." Sakura said as she placed Sasuke's hand over her stomach. A few tear drops landed on Sasuke as Sakura continued crying and begging for him to wake up. Sakura cradled Sasuke's head against her chest. She leaned down and whispered into his ear, "I love you Sasuke."
Inside Sasuke's mind
"Did you feel that?" Sasuke asked and Madara and Susanoo gave him a puzzled look. Susanoo then went back to beating up Madara for calling him a psychopath.
"Was it like that before?" Sasuke said as he pointed to the door to the room; it had been dark before but now a tiny light was shining from under it. Susanoo dropped Madara and walked up to the door -he tried opening the door.
"Damn it! It's still locked!"Susanoo shouted as he sat back down in his chair next to a nearly unconscious Madara. Sasuke continued staring at the door. He could've sworn he heard a voice before and now the light… they had to be connected. Sasuke walked up to the door studying it."I already tired opening it idiot."Susanoo said in a slightly irritated voice.
"Shut up Susanoo!" Sasuke yelled angrily at the demonic creature. Sasuke reached for the doorknob. He turned it and the door clicked open; light flooded the room. Sasuke had to cover his eyes to see through the door. It was so bright that he couldn't even look directly at it.
"Liiiiiigggghhtttttt!"Susanoo shrieked as he ducked behind his chair to try and hide from the bright rays of light flooding in through the open door. Sasuke cautiously took a step through the door; suddenly he was sucked through and the door slammed shut behind him. Susanoo looked over at Madara with a confused look.
"What just happened?" Madara asked the purple-scaled demon.
"I have absolutely no idea."He answered in his dark voice.
Sasuke groaned slightly; he had landed on his face when he went through the door. He sat up -he saw pink hair and black and red eyes. "Izumi!" Sasuke said as he sat up; he was the little heaven she put him in when she used Tsukuyomi.
"You're okay daddy!" Izumi cheered as she jumped over to Sasuke and hugged him; the force of her landing on him knocked him over. Sasuke then noticed that Izumi was very transparent, like Sasura had been when his Susanoo had taken over for the second time.
"Oh my god Izumi, you're fading!" Sasuke nearly yelled. He clutched Izumi tighter, in the few months he's known her, he had grown to love her. He wouldn't allow anything to harm either of his two daughters or let them disappear.
Izumi broke out of the hug and looked up at her dad with tears in her black and red eyes. "I know, I found out something about the other you, the time traveler. He has some kind of virus from his time period, it spreads insanely fast and there is no permanent cure for it. I don't have much time left before I disappear so I had to tell you. The virus can be only cured with Uchiha DNA, anything from your spit, blood, to just touching the person will cure them." Izumi paused for a second as she faded even more. "But it's not a permanent cure; if anybody else infected touches them they will become infected again. Sakura should be immune to it since she's carrying Sasura." Izumi finished and hugged up against Sasuke.
"Why aren't you telling this to Sakura or Tsunade?" Sasuke asked.
"Because it wouldn't do them any good; you're the only one who can cure it." Izumi answered.
"How do you know all of this?" Sasuke asked his pink haired daughter curiously as he gave her a tight hug.
"I told her."
Sasuke spun around to find the source of the voice; he found himself looking into a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, and they were black with red designs like his and Izumi's. Sasuke recognized the eyes from the picture Sakura had drawn. He stood up and held his hand out; Kusanagi appeared in it and he pointed it at the time traveler.
"Stay away from us!" Sasuke yelled as he looked at the older version of himself and his own eyes turned into Mangekyou Sharingan.
"The one who has caused all of this is my Tobi 'personality'. I managed to take over for a few minutes but it won't last very long; I would just kill myself and get it over with but Tobi placed me under a Genjutsu so I can't. I know you probably don't trust me but just listen. The virus Tobi is infected with has bonded with his DNA; he's now completely immune to its effects and it actually makes him stronger." He stopped for a second as Izumi collapsed; Sasuke grabbed her before she could hit the ground and cradled her in his arms.
"Izumi! Izumi wake up!" Sasuke lightly shook her; Izumi's body was barely even visible, and after a few seconds she had completely disappeared. Sasuke fell to his knees as tears cut across his face. He hadn't cried since the Uchiha Massacre, but now losing his daughter… he couldn't stop the tears.
Future-Sasuke cautiously walked up to Sasuke. He put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder comfortingly. "It's Tobi's fault that she's gone; even if you don't believe me you can still get revenge for her. Tobi is very strong though. I came from an alternate timeline where the world was very hostile, because of this everybody has to train and grow stronger." Future-Sasuke said in a monotone voice.
"It doesn't even matter! I can't even get out of my own consciousness; and even if I managed to do that, Tobi, Susanoo, and I aren't strong enough to beat him no matter which one of us is in control!" Sasuke shouted angrily. He felt so hopeless; he couldn't even help himself right now.
"I think I can help with that." Future-Sasuke said as he pulled a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Sasuke. "I can't tell you what's in the scroll because then Tobi would know it and it wouldn't work. Just read it once I send you back." Future-Sasuke said as the world collapsed and Sasuke was released.
In the Leaf Village
"Good night Yuikin-chan." Kippou leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips before turning to head back to his house.
"Good night Kippou-kun." Yuikin said dreamily as she opened the door to her house and walked in.
Kippou passed by the Uchiha complex and then by the hospital, considering visiting Sasuke but decided against it since visiting hours were over. A cold gust of wind blew by him; he shivered and pulled his jacket closer around him to protect himself from the cold winter air. He walked past the Hokage tower and neared the Kare complex. He furiously rubbed his numb fingers together to try and warm them up and regain feeling in them. Kippou heard a shout and turned in the direction it came from, he saw a man wearing a thick jacket with a hood on running up to him.
"Please*gasp*help me*gasp*my friend is in trouble *gasp*." The man shouted as he pointed over as an alleyway. Kippou followed the man but saw the nobody else was there.
"Where exactly is your *thud*" the man hit Kippou on the back of the head knocking him unconscious.
The man raised his hood slightly, revealing his Sharingan eyes. He pulled his sleeve up and touched his arm, which has massive pulsing red marks on it, onto Kippou's hand. A small red speck appeared where he had touched him, the man then grabbed Kippou's body and teleported it to his house, when he woke up he wouldn't remember any of this.
"Perfect." Future-Sasuke grinned from beneath his hood and teleported away.
The next day
Kippou groggily woke up; he looked over and saw he was in his own room. He didn't even remember coming back to his house last night."I must've just been tired."he thought as he got out of bed and walked into the bathroom and pulled out his toothbrush.
He noticed he had a small red spec about the size of a dime on the palm of his hand; he poured some soap on it and tried to scrub it off. He saw that the red spot was still there, he used his fingernail to try and scratch it off and it still remained. He made a mental note to go see a doctor later that day as he finished brushing his teeth and threw on a black muscle shirt with his clan symbol on it, a silvery grey jacket over that to protect him from the biting cold, and some dark blue jeans before grabbing his keys and running outside.
Kippou arrived at Yuikin's house and knocked on the door as he shivered, there was nearly 2 feet of snow outside and he was freezing his ass off!
Yuikin opened the door, "Oh hey Kippou-kun, come in." she said as she moved out of the way. Kippou took of his shoes and followed Yuikin into her living room. Kippou was suddenly hit with an intense feeling of dizziness and he couldn't muster enough balance to even remain standing. He collapsed on the ground. "Kippou! What's wrong?" Yuikin said worriedly as she ran over to him. She tried to grab his arm to help him up but he inched away from her.
"I think I might be sick, it's best if you don't touch me so you won't catch it." Kippou said as he shakily got back on his feet. "I'd better go to the hospital just to be safe, I'm sorry." Kippou politely said as he walked over to the door.
"It's fine; just be careful in case you fall again." Yuikin said as if she was a mother reminding her child of something.
"So what do you think it is?" Kippou asked several hours later as Sakura inspected his hand in the hospital.
"I'm not sure, it looks like some form of infection, but I've never seen anything quite like it. I'm going to need to perform some blood work." Sakura said as she pulled out a needle. She grabbed a band and tied it around Kippou's arm right above his elbow to make his blood gather in his joint. "Aren't you Sasuke's friend… umm… Shippou right?" Sakura asked as she stuck the needle into Kippou's arm.
"My name is Kippou, and I take it you're Sakura?" Kippou winced slightly as Sakura collected three vials of blood before removing the needle and taking the band off and restoring blood flow to his arm.
"Yes I am." Sakura said and her sad mood brightened some. Izumi had completely disappeared about an hour ago and Sasura was close to joining her. She wished she could've stayed home to comfort the little girl but Sasura said that her staying wouldn't stop her from disappearing and insisted that she go to the hospital since working helped keep her mind off of things. Sakura pushed the thoughts from her mind as she focused on her work. Sakura walked off to the lab to turn in the blood samples while Kippou waited patiently for the results.
Sakura walked into the room about an hour later with Kippou's test results. "I've never seen anything like this before." Sakura said as she read over the test results.
"I take it that's bad." Kippou said seeing her reaction.
Sakura nodded, "The virus, whatever it is, it's mutating your cells at an alarmingly fast rate. Your cells are being turned into more of the virus. In about 48 hours, your entire body will have been broken down into nothing, and the worst part is that we don't know how to cure it." she nervously pushed some of her pink locks aside.
"Wait, so that means I'm going to die!" Kippou stood up as the realization hit him. "Oh my god! I need to go tell Yuikin." He said as he started to exit the room but Sakura stopped him.
"I'm sorry Kippou but I'm going to need to quarantine you, if you touch anybody it might infect them as well." She said as she blocked his path.
"But I touched you and you're fine." He said pointing it out.
"Well the virus might take a while to incubate and show symptoms, so we're both going to have to be quarantined." Sakura said sadly, she protectively wrapped her arms around her stomach where her unborn baby was resting. She hoped she wasn't infected; it could kill both her and the baby.
Several hours later in the Hokage tower
"It's gotten much worse Lady Tsunade." Shizune said as she laid a stack of reports on the Hokage's desk.
Tsunade slammed her fist on the table, "How can a virus spread so fast! Nearly one-tenthof the village has been infected!" She said angrily.
Shizune shuffled awkwardly, "Um Lady Hokage… I've just found out that Sakura has been quarantined." She said nervously. Tsunade's head snapped up from her desk
"She's been infected!" she shouted.
"Well that's the odd thing, she seems to be immune to it, and she doesn't have any of the red marks like the infected villagers." She told the fuming Hokage.
"Then why is she in quarantine if she's not infected?" she shouted at her black haired assistance, Shizune winced at her harsh tone.
"It's common quarantine protocol and-" she started but was interrupted by Tsunade.
"Get her out of quarantine and bring her here."
"But Lady Tsunade I don't think-" Shizune started but was interrupted again.
"Now Shizune!" she yelled, Shizune bowed and left the room.
Inside Sasuke's mind
"So are we in agreement then?" Sasuke asked.
"Agreed." Tobi and Susanoo said in unison. Sasuke drew the kanji for 'Unity' on the ground between the three.
"This jutsu will take a long time to activate, we'll rotate out once we run out of chakra and let the next person go." Sasuke said as a stream of dark blue chakra shot from his hand onto the kanji. The stream of chakra traced the kanji repeatedly as it lit up and a low humming sound filled the dark room.
"This had better work Uchiha."Susanoo threatened as he watched the symbol glow to life.
"It had better!"Sasuke thought in his mind as he poured even more of his chakra into the symbol.
Leaf Village hospital
"Shizune look at this," Sakura called as the dark haired woman walked over to her. "His chakra levels are dropping; do you think he may be infected?" Sakura asked worriedly as she looked at the comatose Sasuke.
Shizune walked over to a monitor hooked up to Sasuke and studied it, "It looks more like he's using it on his own, like for a jutsu or something." She said puzzled as she also looked down at the raven haired man. "Well it doesn't look like he's losing it too fast; I agreed I would let you see Sasuke, but now I have to take you to Tsunade-san." Shizune said as she lightly gripped Sakura's arm.
"Why does she need to see me so urgently anyways?" Sakura asked confused.
"Because for some reason you're immune to the virus, it normally is spread instantaneously through touch. Yet you've been touched by dozens of infected people and you're fine, Tsunade wants to find out why." Shizune lightly tugged on Sakura's arm as she pulled her away from Sasuke and led her to the Hokage tower.
Somewhere in the Leaf Village
"My plan is going perfectly." Future-Sasuke chuckled evilly as he watched more and more villagers become infected with the virus. The virus was spreading faster and more effectively than he had expected, in about two days nearly everybody in the Leaf Village would be dead, and then the other villages will fall like dominoes. He noticed a flash of pink and saw Shizune leading Sakura somewhere, he made a mental note to personally kill her later as he teleported away to avoid being reappeared in his base and walked over to his special bowl of water that allowed him to observe people. The water shifted to a scene of the Hokage tower.
Hokage tower
Sakura was lead into Tsunade's office by Shizune who was pulling her so fast she almost tripped a few times. They passed by several guards wearing special suits so they wouldn't be infected in case of an attack. One of the guards glanced at Sakura and Shizune then moved aside to let them into the room Lady Tsunade was in. They walked into the room where Tsunade was sitting at her desk tapping her nails nervously on the oak desk. Tsunade stood up and walked over to Sakura and pulled her into a tight hug. Sakura had spent so much time training with Tsunade that they were like mother and daughter to each other.
Tsunade broke the hug, "Are you okay Sakura?" she asked worriedly.
"I'm fine Tsunade-sensei, really." Sakura said while taking a seat in front of Tsunade's desk.
"I'll just leave you two to talk now." Shizune bowed then left the room.
"Well Sakura I'll get straight to the point, for whatever reason you're immune to this virus that's been spreading and I need to find out why." Tsunade said bluntly.
"I don't know why I'm immune, I already figured it out when I was during the quarantine." Sakura said as she thought about why she was immune.
"Maybe it's because you're pregnant?" Tsunade suggested. Sakura shook her head 'no'.
"There were several other pregnant women in quarantine." Sakura said recalling the few women she had seen, she pushed the memory from her mind, she had to help figure this out so she could save those people.
"Maybe it's who you're pregnant with -have Sasuke, Sasura, or Izumi been infected yet?" Tsunade asked her pink haired student as she cut off her own sentence.
Sakura looked down sadly. "Izumi disappeared a few hours ago, Sasura is close to disappearing as well but she hasn't been infected, and Sasuke hasn't been infected but neither of them have been exposed to it." Sakura said sadly.
"Disappearing?" Tsunade asked her.
"Yes, since they traveled back in time whenever something happens to this time period they slowly become weaker and turn transparent. If it gets so bad to the point where one of them wouldn't have been born they just completely disappear." Sakura said sadly. Tsunade thought over what Sakura had told her for a second.
"That still doesn't answer if they're immune or not, maybe we should test it out." She said aloud.
Sakura jumped up out of her seat. "You can't seriously be thinking about infecting them! If they aren't immune then they'll die!" Sakura screamed at her mentor.
"Calm down Sakura I was just thinking out loud, there's no way I would just sacrifice Sasuke or Sasura like that. Sasuke is too strong a ninja to just give up, and I can tell they both make you happy." Tsunade said and Sakura calmed down and sat back in her chair. "Shizune!" Tsunade called and the black haired woman walked into the room moments later.
"Yes Lady Tsunade?" Shizune said as she bowed respectfully.
"I want you to let everybody out of the quarantine, the virus has already spread to the point where we may be some of the only uninfected people in the village; we might as well not keep those people locked up until they die." Tsunade told the inky haired assistant.
"Yes Lady Tsunade." Shizune said as she turned and left the room.
Several hours later
"Damn it!" Sakura shouted as she tossed another book into a large pile between her and Tsunade.
Tsunade finished reading her book and did the same as the textbook landed and knocked a few books off the top of the pile. For the past five hours, Sakura and Tsunade had been reading through books. Tsunade was reading books on viruses and diseases to find a cure for the virus that had infected nearly the entire village, while Sakura was reading books on seals to find a way to get Sasuke out of his coma. Sasuke would probably be able to help them cure this plague. Sakura picked up an old book, the cover was so worn it was barely legible.
She squinted slightly and managed to make out the title,'Dojutsu of the Hidden Leaf Village'. "Dojutsus… like the Sharingan and Byakugan."She thought to herself, she shrugged and decided to it read it since it was the only book left on the shelf.
Chapter One: Byakugan.
"The Byakugan is considered the weakest of the Leaf Village's Dojutsu, but it is still very strong. It is believed to be a mutation of the Sharingan making the Hyuuga clan distantly related to the Uchiha clan."Sakura paused to turn the page.
"Hmm so that would make Hinata and Sasuke very distantly related."Sakura thought as she skimmed over to the chapter about Sharingan.
"The Sharingan is the Leaf Village's second Dojuts; it allows the user to see chakra, see faster than a normal human can, and allows the use of several powerful Genjutsu. If a member of the Uchiha clan who possesses a Sharingan kills his or her best friend, then they will awaken a more powerful version of the Sharingan called Mangekyou Sharingan. The Mangekyou Sharingan has many useful jutsu like a kind of 'vacuum' that sucks objects into another dimension called Kamui. It is believed that if a person has two Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, a more powerful form of the Mangekyou Sharingan, that they can grant a person two Rinnegan; though this is only rumored and has never been proven true."
"That's interesting." Sakura muttered quietly as she got to the last chapter about Rinnegans.
"The rinnegan is the last of the Leaf Village's Dojutsu and also the most powerful. Not much is known about the Rinnegan; it is known that members on the Senju clan can obtain it as they are descendents of the 'Sage of the Six Paths' the original ninja. The Uzamaki clan is related to the Senju clan so they can also obtain it, the Uchiha clan is also related to the Sage but they are descendents of his younger son who didn't have a Rinnegan so they can't posses one. The Rinnegan allows the user to see chakra like the other two Dojutsu; but unlike the others, it allows the user to control six other bodies called 'The Six Paths'. The first path is the 'Deva Path' which can use gravity to push and pull objects called Shinra Tensei and when advanced, enough can pull rocks and other objects into moon-like objects with enough gravity to imprison something inside of them for eternity.
The second path is called the 'Asura Path', which can be turned into something similar to a puppet with hidden weapons but is much stronger and durable. The third path is called the 'Human Path' which has the ability to move at extreme speeds and extract memories from a person, when advanced enough it can remove a person's soul, although if the user wishes they can give the soul back. The fourth path is called the 'Animal Path' which allows the user to summon many things without contact or a blood offering. The fifth path is known as the 'Preta Path' which can absorb chakra whether it's out of a person, or absorbing the chakra from a jutsu. The sixth and final path is known as the 'Naraka Path' that has incredible strength; it's true power lies in its ability to summon a seventh path called the 'Outer Path' that is used for interrogating a person and can repair the other 'Paths' if they are damaged. The owner of the Rinnegan is also able to almost effortlessly learn any non-Kekkei-Genkai jutsu, and copy jutsu that they see such as reversing a Genjutsu or repairing a damaged seal just by examining it."
Sakura realized two things from reading the chapter on the Rinnegan; first off that Naruto and Hinata might be distantly related which was weird since she had a crush on him; and second that somebody with a Rinnegan would be able to repair Sasuke's seal. The book said that only members of the Senju clan could have a Rinnegan and luckily the Senju clan was the biggest clan making up almost one-fifthof the village's population. So that means that there has to be dozens of people with Rinnegans in the Leaf Village. Sakura jumped out of her seat and rushed over to Tsunade's desk shoving the book in front of her and pointing to the last part about repairing seals.
"Tsunade-Sensei look, look! This book says people with a Rinnegan can repair damaged seals no matter how damaged they are. So we just need to find a person with a Rinnegan and they can wake Sasuke up!" Sakura squealed with a mixture of happiness and relief.
Tsunade gave Sakura a confused look, "Sakura you do know that only three people in history have ever had Rinnegans right? Well five counting Madara and Sasuke but they took theirs from other people." Tsunade said and shredded any hope Sakura had of using that plan.
"It just HAD to be Sasuke! He just HAD to be one of the five people in history to have a Rinnegan when he could fix it on his own if he wasn't in a COMA! Why couldn't it have been Naruto or Kakashi or someone else who wasn't in a coma?" Sakura shouted angrily.
"Calm down Sakura, Sasuke will be fine until we can find a way to wake him up. Now I think you should go back home and relax, I'll keep working on a cure for the virus… And before you can object, this isn't an offer." Tsunade said. Sakura thought about arguing but then again she was feeling kind of tired.
"Thank you Lady Tsunade; and good luck finding a cure." Sakura said as she left the room and started walking towards Sasuke's house.
As she was walking home she noticed Kippou walking down the road, he must've just gotten out of the quarantine. She also saw that his entire right arm had the red tattoos on it. As she got close she saw a pretty girl with black hair and golden eyes holding his left hand –the virus can only be transferred by touching the infected area- who appeared to be his girlfriend.
"Hi Kippou!" Sakura shouted as she ran up to the two. Kippou turned and waved at her. "Hi Kippou-chan." Sakura greeted the purple haired ninja.
"Hi I'm Yuikin, nice to meet you." The golden eyed girl said as she stretched her hand out for Sakura to shake. As she was shaking her hand she noticed Yuikin didn't seem to be infected, and if she was willing to be around Kippou and be infected then she must care for him. Kippou seemed to be studying Sakura with a confused expression on his face.
"How come you aren't infected? I touched your arm and yet you don't have these tattoos?" Kippou asked as he pointed to the tattoos that reached almost to his neck, hearing this Yuikin let go of Sakura's hand like it was going to bite her.
"Don't worry, Tsunade said for whatever reason I'm immune to the virus, she thinks maybe Uchihas are immune to it and since I'm carrying Sasuke's baby that I'm also immune as a result. She wanted to test it out on Sasuke but I wouldn't let her." Sakura explained and Yuikin seemed to be suddenly interested in the pink haired girl.
"Wait, you and Sasuke are married?" she nearly screamed. Sakura shuffled awkwardly and blushed.
"We're not married… just… together." Sakura said quietly, it was normally tradition to be married before you had kids, not after. Yuikin was about to say something when she and Kippou got terrified looks on their faces. Kippou quickly formed a hand-sign and a loud rumbling came from behind Sakura.
Sakura turned and saw a massive fireball the size of a building coming right at her, a large metal wall rose up in front of her. When the fireball hit the wall it caused a massive explosion and the shockwave knocked Sakura a few feet behind Kippou.
"Hn that didn't go quite as planned." The attacker said in a familiar monotone voice. Sakura turned and her heart skipped a beat, Future-Sasuke was smirking down at the three from a rooftop, Sakura saw his entire body was covered in the red tattoos and her anger swelled. So it was him who had released the virus to all of the villagers in the first place.
"Is that Sasuke? I thought he was in a coma, and why the hell is he attacking us?" Kippou asked confused as Future-Sasuke blurred away from the rooftop and appeared on the ground a few feet away from them.
"It's a long story but that isn't Sasuke." Sakura said as pure panic set in, she knew even the three of them together were no match for him.
"You two should just move out of the way, I only have business with Sakura-chan over there." He said arrogantly yet he said her name seductively.
Sakura became angry; only Sasuke could say her name like that... this time's version of Sasuke not that one! Kippou walked between Future-Sasuke and Sakura.
"I don't know who you are or why you look like Sasuke, but what I do know is that there is no way in hell in going to let you hurt her." Kippou said as he prepared for a fight.
Future-Sasuke just laughed at him, "You really think you can stop me." He said while laughing hysterically at the silver eyed ninja. Kippou got angry at his taunting.
"Silver Blades Jutsu." five foot tall spikes of silver shot from the ground at Kippou's feet and started going towards Future-Sasuke. Future-Sasuke just raised his hand and caught the spike stopping it; he ripped the spike out of the ground and threw it to the side.
"Is that it?" he asked mockingly.
Kippou's jaw dropped, nobody had ever been able to stop his jutsu, many have dodged them but never flat out stopped them.
"My turn." Sasuke said as he appeared behind Kippou and Sasuke's entire body was covered in a giant Chidori, "Shinra Tensei Chidori." A pulse of gravity shot from his Sharinnegan (the name of his eye after his Sharingan fused with Tobi's Rinnegan) and the Chidori was pushed from his body and wrapped around Kippou. Kippou screamed in pain as the electricity coursed through his body and interrupted his brain's ability to send signals to his body.
"Kippou!" Yuikin screamed as she ran over to him, Sakura grabbed her and held her back.
"You can't help him; you won't stand a chance against him!" Sakura told the golden eyed girl.
Kippou barely managed to move his arms and make a hand-sign as the electricity coursed through his body. "Rock Armor Jutsu." some of the dirt and rocks around Kippou wrapped around him, since lightning-element jutsu beat earth-element, the rock crumbled to dust, but the rock managed to absorb the electricity and get it off of Kippou. The rock armor fell off of Kippou and he nearly collapsed on the ground. Yuikin ran over to Kippou and put his left arm around her neck to help support him, she pulled out a kunai made of gold and pointed it at Future-Sasuke.
"Hn, I was expecting more of a challenge out of you Kippou. You're so weak you need your girlfriend to protect you." He said while chuckling.
Kippou stood up, "Oh yeah well what about this!" Large silver hands shot out of the ground and grabbed Future-Sasuke; he was caught off guard and couldn't break free of the hands. The hands started coming out of the ground revealing arms, then a head and torso until a 60 foot tall silver statue had rose out of the ground.
"What! How did you summon this thing, you didn't even do any hand-signs or do a summoning!" Future-Sasuke yelled as he thrashed around trying to get out of the statue's grip.
Kippou held up the necklace with his clan symbol on it, which now glowed a silvery color. "My necklace is actually a seal; I just have to touch my necklace and put some chakra into it to summon him." Kippou said with a grin.
Yuikin looked at Kippou, "Really? My necklace does the same thing!" she said pulling out her necklace, which was a golden dagger pointed straight up with a circle around it. She put some chakra into it and a golden statue of a woman rose from the ground in front of Kippou's statue.
Future-Sasuke stopped struggling and got a look on his face that said I'm so fucked right now. His Sharinnegan twitched and several summons appeared behind the statues. There was a 30-foot long cobra with jet black scales and red patterns like flames on its back, a 10-foot tall butterfly with a 25-foot wingspan and it was a dark blue color like the ocean at night, and a white wolf, 20-feet tall and 40-foot long with patches of dark brown fur. All three of the animals had the same eyes as Future-Sasuke. The butterfly fluttered above the two statues and a fine powdery substance rained down on them. Once they were coated in it, the cobra's tongue flickered and a spark shot out igniting the powder. Future-Sasuke formed his Susanoo which both loosened the silver statue's grip on him as well as shielding him from the explosion.
The statue dropped him and his Susanoo grew until it was over 100-feet tall dwarfing the statues and even the nearby Hokage Tower. It had two demon horns in the center of its head as well as several horns growing from its chin resembling a beard. It glowed black showing that it was completely corrupted, it had on no armor and it had black scales and eyes that looked like fiery coals. It had two wings growing out of its back that looked like bat wings with a large spike covering the joint on the top of the wing. The cobra slithered behind the Susanoo and connected to its back like a tail, the wolf jumped into the air and formed black metallic armor the looked like a wolf's features. While the butterfly got on the Susanoo's back and fused its wings with the bat wings, the wings now looked like a butterfly's but swirled different colors like dark blue, purple, and black.
"Now the real fun begins." Future-Sasuke said as his Susanoo grabbed a statue in each hand and crushed their heads, he then lit them on fire with Amateratsu and finally threw them so far that they landed outside of the Leaf Village.
Kippou gulped, that was his strongest summon and he beat it like it was nothing. The Susanoo turned to look at Yuikin and Kippou, who was in front of her protectively, said, "Sakura… go to the hospital and protect Sasuke, you'll be a lot safer there." Kippou said in a tone that let Sakura know there was no room for arguing. Sakura turned and ran to the hospital as she cast a glance back and saw Kippou and Yuikin dodge out of the way of the Susanoo's fist and then both attack with spears made of gold and silver. Those two sure had amazing teamwork; she turned back and poured chakra into her feet to run faster.
Kippou formed a broadsword that was even bigger than him; he had trained himself to use any sword, even the ones the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist used. He held the sword using only his right hand and didn't even struggle to hold it up. Kippou blurred away and appeared above the Susanoo and slammed his sword down on his shoulder-guard with such force that it snapped it in half and embedded itself in the Susanoo's arm. Kippou had sparred with Sasuke; Sasuke taught him how to beat his Susanoo should he ever go berserk. He poured more chakra into the blade and the sword grew until the sheer weight of it sliced through the Susanoo's right arms and embedded itself in the ground near the Susanoo's feet.
Kippou fell down and grabbed the hilt of the sword and poured chakra into it to make it change forms; it turned into a thick rope made of silver fibers. Kippou dodged a kick from the Susanoo while Yuikin threw a seemingly endless supply of kunai at the Susanoo to distract him. Kippou threw the rope over the Susanoo's still extended leg and grabbed the other end of it while running around its legs to wrap them up. He finished then jumped onto the Susanoo's shoulder; he made a large weight on the end of the rope and threw it.
The rope pulled tight and the force of it tripped the Susanoo and it landed with a loud thud. The Susanoo flickered and Kippou turned the rope back into a sword and easily cut off its head making it completely disappear. "Two minutes, twenty-five seconds… that's a new record!" Kippou cheered and Yuikin couldn't help but giggle.
"How the hell did you beat my Susanoo?" Future-Sasuke yelled as he stood up, Kippou was in front of him and Yuikin was behind him.
"Sasuke trained me to beat his Susanoo, although yours was more durable it was slower with all that heavy armor." Kippou said as he formed a katana in each hand and pointed them at the red eyed ninja. Future-Sasuke formed a large red Chidori in his hand. "There's no way you can hit me with that before I chop your head off." Kippou said making a slashing motion with his swords.
"Not you… her!" he shouted as he turned and charged at Yuikin.
Blood sprayed and hit Yuikin in the face as she gasped in shock. Kippou had managed to get in the way of the Chidori and took the blow for her. Future-Sasuke's hand had pieced through his body and he now had a large hole in his torso.
"No!" she screamed as Future-Sasuke disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Yuikin caught Kippou before he fell to the ground, she touched his right arm and became infected but she didn't care.
"Yuikin you touched my-" he started but Yuikin hushed him.
"I know." She said as she adjusted his body gently so his head was resting on her chest facing away from her. She placed her hands over the hole and golden chakra poured out of her hands and into the wounds, it wouldn't save him, but it would dull the pain and extend what time he had left. "Please don't die Kippou… I love you." She begged him; Kippou tilted his head back so he was looking into her golden orbs with his silver ones.
"I love you too."
Inside Sasuke's mind
"It's done." Sasuke said as the kanji floated into the air.
"About time, that took hours." Madara said and Susanoo nodded in agreement. The kanji disappeared and was replaced with a pillar of blue, red, and black light. The three were drawn into the light, they all were sucked into it and with a flash, they were gone.
Leaf Village Hospital
Sakura had Kusanagi clutched so tightly her knuckles were white, she was pacing around in Sasuke's room hoping that Kippou had defeated Future-Sasuke and was okay. Sakura had pulled the curtain in front of Sasuke's bed so that if Future-Sasuke came here he wouldn't see Sasuke if he looked through the door. She sat down in a chair next to the door; it was against the wall so she couldn't be seen from the door either. She heard what sounded like somebody yelling and then what sounded like crows cawing, she thought for a second.
"Doesn't Sasuke's Chidori sound like birds chirping? The black one he makes when he's corrupted also sounds like birds wings flapping. So that means… That might be Future-Sasuke's Chidori!"she thought to herself as she started to panic. The door to the room was shattered like glass and Future-Sasuke stepped into the room grinning evilly.
"Why hello Sakura-chan." Sakura got angry hearing him say her name like that, she swung the sword at him but he caught it between two of his fingers. He pulled back and the sword slipped from her hands, he tossed Kusanagi to the side and looked back at her. "I have no interest in you, just step aside." He said as he walked over to the curtain, Sakura tried to stop him but he threw her aside. He pulled the curtain aside then turned back to look at her with a rage filled expression. "Where is he?" he shouted angrily.
"What do you mean?" Sakura said as she tried to get back up.
"Where did you hide him?" he shouted as he grabbed Sakura's throat and lifted her off the ground, she tried to pry his hands off but he was too strong. She then saw what he was talking about, Sasuke's bed was empty. Future-Sasuke slammed her against the wall "Where. Is. He." He said slowly.
"Right here." Sasuke ripped Future-Sasuke off of Sakura and slammed him into the ground. Future-Sasuke looked up and saw that Sasuke's eyes were much different; his pupils took up about half of his eyes while the tops halves were black Mangekyou Sharingan with red designs and the bottoms were red with black designs.
Sakura took in deep breaths as she tried to get oxygen into her lungs. Sakura also noticed Sasuke's odd eyes and that his nails were claws like when his Susanoo takes over. Sasuke swiped his nails and made a deep cut on Future-Sasuke's forehead right below his hairline. Sasuke grabbed Future-Sasuke and threw him out the hospital window and he landed outside on the pavement, Sasuke leapt after him and Sakura followed. Sasuke formed a Chidori in his hand, it was black, red, and blue all swirling around and made a sound like angels singing or the closest thing to it. He dashed forwards but then appeared behind Future-Sasuke and hit him in the back with it. Future-Sasuke was thrown several feet away from the impact; he stood up and glared at Sasuke.
"So which one of you is in control?" he asked as he dodged several of Sasuke's attempts to shred him with his razor sharp claws.
"All of us."
