Chapter Twenty-Six; The Truth Is Revealed

"If that's true, if Sasame really is physic, then_" he began before Sakura interrupted and cut him off.

"Then sooner or later she'll discover that she's really a very powerful shinobi." She finished for him. "You know Sasuke, maybe we should just tell her. After all, if she's going to find out eventually anyway then we might as well tell her." She said unaware that Sasame was coming through the door behind them.

"Tell me what?" she questioned before both of her parents exchanged looks of concern. "What's going on?" she asked them before Sasuke took a deep breath and sighed heavily.

"Sasame, I think that we should go for a walk. There's something that I should have told you a long time ago." He said before he slowly turned around and started walking back outside while Sasame watched him with uncertainty.

"Go with your father Sasame, he'll explain everything to you." Her mother told her before she nodded at her and then followed him out the door.

…

"So, what did you want to tell me Papa?" she asked him glancing up at him questioningly.

"The truth. And it's long overdue." He replied. "You remember when I told you that the rest of our family had died in a massacre?" he questioned her back as she nodded at him.

"Yes." She replied.

"Well I wasn't being completely honest with you. It is true that the rest of the Uchihas are dead. However, the people on your mother's side of the family are still completely alive." He told her before she came to a sudden dead stop.

"What!? Are you saying that you lied to me and kept me from knowing my grandparents!?" she exclaimed before he took a deep breath and sighed.

"Yes but I only did it because I wanted to protect you." He responded.

"Protect me? From what!?" she cried.

"Look, when you were a baby there were these people that tried to kill your mother and I and your uncle Naruto." He began.

"Well why would they want to do that for!?" she snapped angrily with a scowl still in complete and utter disbelief that he had been keeping all this from her for such a long time. Sasuke took another deep breath and sighed again.

"Because they were after his chakra. You see when your uncle was a baby he had a monster sealed inside of him. His father was the fourth hokage and he sacrificed himself in order to save his son and the rest of the village." He explained.

"I still don't understand." Sasame began with a quick shake of her head. "It doesn't make any sense. And what is all this supposed to mean anyway?"

"You're a ninja Sasame. You are a very powerful shinobi that was born in the village hidden in the leaves." He told her.

"What!? I don't believe you!" she yelled.

"It's true." He told her firmly. "Why else would the sound ninjas be after your uncle? The same blood that runs through Naruto's veins runs through yours and your mother's." he explained.

"Alright so if Naruto was the one that these people wanted then why were we the ones who had to leave the village?" she wondered.

"Because Naruto knew that as long as he was in danger so were we and he loved us enough to let us go." He told her.

"So why didn't you just tell me about all this then!? And my physic abilities, did you know about that too!?" she snapped.

"No, actually I didn't. The reason that your mother and I didn't tell you sooner is because we figured that if you had found out who you truly were you would want to go back to the hidden leaf village. We loved you so much that we didn't want to risk putting you in danger." He explained.

"I still don't get it! If I am such a powerful shinobi shouldn't I be able to learn how to fight and protect myself?" she questioned him hotly.

"No Sasame, it's too dangerous. You don't understand what you would be getting yourself into." He told her.

"Oh I understand perfectly alright! You've lied to me my entire life! And on top of that you don't have any faith in me at all!" she shrieked at him blinking away her tears.

"No Sasame, that's not true baby." He told her.

"You don't get it Father! I am not a baby anymore! When are you going to stop treating me like a child!?" she hollered before she burst into tears and then turned around and ran away.

"Sasame!" he called before he started running after her. "Sasame come back!" he shouted before hearing a petrified shriek inside the distance. Sasuke gave an astonished gasp and suddenly felt his heartbeat speeding up. "Sasame!" he hollered frantically. Meanwhile up ahead Sasame had been captured by a group of sound ninjas.

"We finally got her!" one of them cried while Sasame squealed and tried to break free of his grasp.

"Let go of me you bastard!" she hollered.

"My, my, what a mouth you have on you for such a little child." The ninja said.

"You don't even have any idea who you're talking to! Do you even have any idea at all who I am!?" she yelled as the ninja nodded at her.

"Oh yes I am perfectly aware of who you are miss Uchiha, and that's why I'm taking you straight to Lord Orochimaru." He told her before he quickly covered her mouth as she continued to scream and fight while she was being dragged away. That's when all of a sudden she sunk her teeth inside his hand and bit down hard upon it. "Ouch!" he shouted accidentally dropping Sasame while he clutched his hand in pain with his other hand as Sasame ran away.

"The little brat bit me!" he exclaimed before pointing into the distance. "Get her!" he cried while Sasame continued running as far as she could and as fast as she could breathing heavily. Once she had finally made it far enough away, she climbed up the enormous hill that looked over the land of rainbows and hung her head and sighed. "I'm sorry Papa, but if I really am a shinobi then I have to go and find that out." She said to herself while a tear rolled down her cheek. "Goodbye." She said before she turned around and dashed inside the woods.
