Sasuke was just outside of the village, near of the place where he it seemed to have happened a cult of Jashin.
To an outside viewer, it looked more like remains of a human-sized barbecue, with the right to stake and stones.
Sasuke theorized that they burned the victim of the ritual, and that ritual gave them immortality.
Or something having to do with consuming the victim, that wasn't something he wanted to think about.
Sakura arrived at the place, and saw him watching the remains like searching for a clue.
Adjusting her hair, she spoke to Sasuke.
"So, did you found any clue?"
"That could help us? No. I will need Naruto."
"For what exactly? You think he took a part on the ritual and don't remember?"
"No, that blow...that thing with Tsunade was early Sunday, and he carefully described his locations for the week before."
"So" said Sakura, also squatting on the side on the ashes.
"Have you ever heard of primal memory?"
"No."
"It's something theorized to be related to primal instinct. A memory deeply infused into our body of something that we didn't witness. It's like we remembered what our ancestors did, and managed to repeat it. If it exists, is very primitive and not much useful for almost anything. but..."
"But..."
"The cult of Jashin revolves around instinct, impulse, about leaving your reason away and doing everything for the pure thrill of it. In special, violence."
"That is insane."
"Yes, I agree. What I mean is, Hinata 'infected' Naruto with something that makes him act like an ultra violent animal. His lust and wrath, the most wildest sins, were mixed together. And then I think it infected the Nine Tails, and the Nine Tails is pure hate. The only thing that made him stop fucking Hinata brutally..."
"Was his hate for you?" said Sakura, sadly.
Sasuke turned to Sakura.
"I, I didn't...I don't believe in that."
"But you thought."
"I smashed his door to enter! Anyone would get angry at that!"
"Really?"
"Look Sakura, if Naruto secretly hates me, it's ok. I gave him several reasons..."
"What if this isn't the end? What if Naruto goes crazy again? Will you kill him? You even can kill him now?"
"I don't know!"
Sakura sighed.
"I love you both. To see one of you go at the hands of the other...was the worst of my nightmares...and now it is again."
Sasuke thought in hugging Sakura, but her fear also infected him.
What if Naruto goes crazy again?
