Naruto Belongs to Misashi Kishimoto
Akatsuki Blossom
The deep aroma of blood was thick in the air and the stench of death was scattered across the ground grotesquely. Buildings burned and the sky was painted a deep dark smear of eternal sadness. The echo of agonized screams filled the air, while Konoha slowly crumbled away. The Hokage Monument was cracked from all sides, Tsunade's face totally ripped from the Earth completely. I grunted and glanced over the Village, standing atop the Hokage tower. Tsunade's body laid crumbled next to me, her breathing heavy and her body gradually breaking down. At the last moment, I had injected her with a poisonous venom that slowly stopped the major organs in the body.
Naruto's and Ino's decaying bodies sat next to each other, unlucky enough to capture themselves into my Bloody Illusion, where they suffered the worse punishment. Their clothes were coated in blood, Ino had attempted to slaughter Hidan and had gotten a lucky shot, only to realize that she had physically stabbed Hidan but in reality had impaled Chouji through the heart. She had been blinded by devastation, that she couldn't save herself from my Jutsu.
Naruto wasn't as easy to capture, I was only able to get him through pure luck. He had been too close when I murdered Kurenai and her child, he was trying to protect Asuma's legacy from deteriorating with the rest of Konoha. However, I was able to capture Kurenai, her child and Naruto. I wasn't as cruel as I was when I murdered the boy, after all I was still human. I had be swift and painless, even offering an apology. Kurenai had been more gruesome, though Naruto's death was by far the worse. I had toyed with him for a long time, letting him hear the screams of the woman he loved, echo through the dead world.
However, my goal at this moment was no more deaths for anyone else but one person. He was the only one I hadn't come across with my short reign of destruction, and I was wondering if another member had gotten rid of him. Though I knew better, Uchiha Sasuke wasn't someone who could be easily pushed around and brought down. I knew he was hiding and I wanted to seek him out, I wanted to kill him more than anyone else. Naruto's death will look nothing compared to the one I am seeking to give him.
'S-Sakura?' Deidara whispered through the head set I wore
"Are you alright?" I asked alarmed by the tone in his voice
'Fine, though I am worried' he admitted
"About what?" I questioned
'I haven't seen Itachi since the beginning of the invasion. He was acting strangely, as though he was planning something behind this,'
"What? Why didn't you tell me this before?" I demanded
'Sasori did, but you ignored him. Right now, Madara is trying to find him, but even he can't find him,'
"Okay. Thanks for telling me. I'll try and find him myself."
Before Deidara could reply, I cut off our connection and prepared to jump towards the next building. However, Tsunade's voice cut through the air and I paused my actions. I looked over my shoulder, studying her hunched form for a further second. Her shoulders trembled, and I could never believe that Tsunade could look so vulnerable.
"Do they mean more to you then us?" she asked.
I turned right round and bent down towards her. The boots I wore squeaked from strain and misuse. I tilted her head up to mine, her face was blanched a sickly white and her eyes were distorted. The poison was working thoroughly, though I am disappointed that it wasn't working quickly.
"Of course. I would give the world if I could spend one last day with them," I promised. She looked at me with dying golden eyes.
"You've always been loy…"
At that moment, Tsunade gagged and fell limp over my legs. I frowned and kicked her body away from me in disrespect and malice. The hatred burned like embers as I repeated the conversation I had with Deidara, and my eyes widened at a cruel sudden pulse of realisation. However, relief flooded over me in unison and I couldn't decide which emotion I should linger upon. It didn't take long for my decision, and I was hurtling through the air, trying to track Itachi's faint Chakra signature.
He loved me. I believed that more than I believed anything else in my life, I believed that he loved me more than my deceased strength I held in Naruto. He had shattered my heart because he wanted me to hate him, despise him, so if he died during battle, I wouldn't harbour any sadness towards his decaying form. Itachi had always been a complicated man, twisted because of the dangerous life of baring war and the cruel position his Clan and former Village performed. All Itachi wanted was peace, that's all he's ever wanted.
As the pages of time slowly turn and the final chapter approaches, a fight of anguish, malice and most of all vengeance will burn from the small embers.
Uchiha Itachi & Uchiha Sasuke would embark in a battle so fierce - not even the hope of true love can win...
Promising that the next chapter will be much longer than this one, it's a chapter you all SHOULDN'T miss!
