DISCLAIMER I do not own Naruto.
What the hell? I mean what the freaking hell. I'm running from, I don't even know any more! And its still chasing me!
The fire has stopped, it stopped ten minutes ago. And I have run out of the village to a sort of forest-y area, something is coming after me, I don't know what, I don't even know how I know that something's behind me! I don't know how I got to the 'Naruto world! I don't know how I'm running as fast as I'm running and not getting tired! I don't know why everything was bursting in to flame! I don't know how to find my sister and friends! I apparently don't know anything!
Whatever was after me was getting closer, a lot closer, and I wasn't even sure I should be running away from it, I mean, for all I know it could be a group of adoring fans who want my autograph.
What? It could happen.
that's it! whoever's chasing me is going to get kicked in the face if they don't stop. I turn my thoughts back to running and after two minutes I still some how know something's there. Damn it! I'm going to kick them in the face!
I see a lake ahead, I'll just turn around there and face this creep, and if he's the guy who was making the fire earlier then I can just jump in the water and wait him out. Hey, yeah! If he's a ninja then he'd never stoop so low as to actually getting wet in a lake instead walking on top of it! Ha Ha hah gotcha there, stinking ninja! There's no way you can work around my brilliant plan!
As I get closer to the lake the jerk following me speeds up even more, I get five feet from the shore and spin around, just in time to see a crazy red eyed, black haired, demon monster come hurtling out of a bushes with the intent to eat my face off. My thoughts were as follows. .
And that was before the thing started to vomit fire at me.
With a great "whoosh" the flaming vomit came straight toward my head, I being the extremely cool, collected, and calm kinda guy I am that keeps a cool head in any situation no matter how taxing, promptly screamed like my sister and jumped more then fifty feet in the air ( I have no idea about that one ether) and landed in the middle of the lake. What the hell? Like you wouldn't scream if a crazy demon threw up lava at you?
When I hit the surface of the lake I was met with ice cold water beating against my ribcage causing me to suck in a involuntary breath, as I started to sink rapidly I flailed my arms around trying to get to the surface, regardless that I didn't know which way it was.
Dimly I realized that it wasn't a fan club that was following me, and equally as dimly I noted that the lack of oxygen to my brain was causing me to think about stuff other then saving myself, which was not.. Uh, good. Not good.
Ugh. I thought everything was lighter when you were under water, but now it just feels heavy, like lead.
The lack of air that was like a steel hand clamping on my throat has lessened to a tired throbbing in my head, its making me feel sleepy, this place would be so nice to sleep. Its so pretty. The dark green algae on the lake bottom, the way the sunlight filters through the water and onto the scales of the fish, the way the water sways when a fire regurgitating demon jumps in. the way the water grass…. wait what?
I try to feebly swim away too late as the demon gets closer and I lose consciousness.
this is my chance.
All the training, all the experiments, all the scars, all those damn tea party's with four eyes and Orochimaru. Its all about to pay off.
Itachi. Was. Going. To. Pay. That was all there was to it. No way was I gong to miss this opportunity, I was going to run down that coward Itachi, and kill him, thus clearing the name of the Uchiha.
'How would it clear the Uchiha name exactly?' Said a small meaningless voice. 'Itachi is such a coward', I continued squashing the pathetic voice with practiced ease. 'he truly is, what does he expect to gain from running away? Other then a few more seconds of his measly life, I mean.' he didn't run any of he other times we met, he must now see that I've come to his level. And he's running away because of that! The Coward! I quickened my pace, no way was that bastard getting away from me!
Ha, he was finally coming to a stop at a lake, what? Does he expect his big blue freak, that he travels with to save his skin with the lake?
No, I only see one signature up there, but the chakra.. No it has to be Itachi's, who else could it be? Itachi's chakra could have changed, its not that different from how I remember it, and who knows what the Akatsuki's doing with the tailed beasts? It's probably just some sick experiment that Itachi went through because he thought it'd save him from when I caught up to him. which was right now.
The clearing was right in front of me and Itachi had stopped moving he was just on the other side of a bush, I ran through it ready for anything.
Time to die, brother.
"Sasuke likes to cause problems, doesn't he?" said lord Orochimaru, more to himself, then to me.
I answered anyway, "so it would seem, my lord" lord Orochimaru didn't look up at my reply, but continued to stare in the direction that Sasuke ran. By now most of the town was consumed in flame, nothing the townspeople did worked, well of course it didn't, I thought bitterly, uchiha flame was notoriously hard to put out , and with a village of civilians it was doomed to burn, they might as well just get out well they can and leave the flame for a passing ninja to take care of, least they should parish with their home.
"Kabuto, go after Sasuke I have reason to believe that it is indeed not Itachi that created these flames. And if it is Itachi please make sure that Sasuke does not kill himself, it would be most unfortunate if he were to do so" said lord Orochimaru finally looking up at me, "I" he said taking a glass vial out of a hidden pocket in his sleeve. "will go back to the base" he took the vial and went to a nearby collapsing building and scooped some of the flame into it. "and study this more closely" he finished replacing the vial back in its pocket.
"of course my lord" I said jumping away
When I jumped out of that bush and unleashed a fireball I did not expect this.
I did not expect for there to be some skinny tall kid about my age to be standing there looking at me like I was his worst nightmare or something. My first thought was that he was just some decoy or illusion that Itachi had come up with to mess me up, so I completed the fireball and directed it at the kid.
I did not expect the kid to scream like a little girl and jumped fifty feet into the air hang there for a second and then go plummeting to the lake beneath him. That was… weird.
I swung around expecting a attack from behind, but Itachi wasn't there. What? I scanned the area with my sharingan but didn't pick up anything other then that kid thrashing around in the lake. Wait. I jumped out to the spot the kid fell in, and I took a closer look at him, he was desperately swimming towards the lake bed, but, there was no mistaking it, he was the one with Uchiha Chakra.
How can this be? I asked myself, Itachi could be in a disguise? No I would be able to see through it.
Could it be another Uchiha? My heat began pounding against my chest, No! it can't be! He killed them all! This is just some sick joke that snake freak and four eyes are playing on me as some sort of test! Yeah, that's it, now I'm going to go back over to the tea shop and kill them both.
I turn to leave but catch a glance of the kid, his movements were growing sluggish. He'd stop moving altogether soon, and then he'd drown. Unless.. Unless Itachi didn't kill everyone, unless some got away, unless I was willing to believe that. The kid was going to drown.
"dammit!" I cursed before diving down to stop the kid, and possibly the only other living uchiha I didn't hate from drowning. Damn it, I hate getting wet.
