Just curious, I want to know if that last ending caught anyone off guard. PM me if it did. Please do. I'm seriously curious about it. The guy that's helping me write this was surprised by it. For crying out loud, I surprised myself!

Slowly slipping his hand to the hilt of his sword, Sasaku glared angrily at Horo, who was but a few meters away. Horo closed his eyes and began laughing. The people walking down the street stopped and stared at the two of them. They began to back away. Horo pulled out a Desert Eagle and pointed it at Sasaku. "You actually followed me?" he said, "That's just to rich! Now I can kill you, just like your pathetic mother!" Sasaku whipped his swords out.

"I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR DAMN HEAD OFF!!!" he yelled. He had the Tomokenzan Kagamimanako in his eyes. He ran at Horo. Horo fired off seven shots in rapid succession. Sasaku jumped over the spray, and all of the villagers ran away from the fight. Horo loaded in another clip and started shooting at Sasaku while he was in the air. Sasaku deflected the bullets with his swords. The black chakra of the Kumori Tora oozed out of them. Horo smiled and dodged seven swipes from Sasaku before kicking him in the chest.

Sasaku flew back into a wall and coughed up blood. He was on his hands and knees, looking at the ground, panting. Horo laughed and pulled out an M4. Sasaku looked up as Horo cocked the gun. "Well," Horo said, "see you in Hell!" Sasaku growled. This was the entire reason he'd come to Konoha. He focused all of his chakra into the Tomokenzan Kagamimanako and blocked each bullet as it came. The ammunition fell to the ground in small little crunched pieces of brass. He was standing in a puddle of them before the firing stopped.

Horo snickered when he looked at Sasaku. "Lord Orochimaru-sama was right," he laughed, "guns are pointless when you have ninja." That was when he loaded another clip into the M4. "That is why he blessed me with so much ammunition. It's a cheap and powerful technique that uses no chakra." Another barrage of ammo came at Sasaku. About twenty bullets hit him. A puff of smoke covered his body, and a log was there in his place. Horo turned around with two Desert Eagles and shot the ten shadow clones Sasaku had made.

After they were gone, over a thousand shadow clones appeared. Seemingly pulling them from nowhere, Horo had two Uzis in each hand. He pulled all four triggers at once and thinned out the "army". Once those were out of ammo, he flipped out the M4 again and shot down the rest of them. Only one Sasaku still remained, and he was gasping for breath. Horo turned to him and pulled the trigger. Sasaku squeezed his eyes shut and heard the sound of metal hitting metal. He opened his eyes again to see Horo with a look of confusion. Horo shot more rounds at him and each one bounced off the armor.

Swearing, Horo retreated and jumped over the wall surrounding the village. Sasaku panted and dropped to the ground. He lifted his shirt up to see that the armor was still perfectly intact. That was when Sasaku saw a Desert Eagle Horo had dropped. There was one bullet left in it. 'I swear, this bullet will be the last thing going through Horo's mind!' He took the gun and walked back home. There he dropped off the gun and ran to the Hokage mansion.

Sasaku burst into the room that Tsunade was in. "-fine, you may-" she stopped when she saw Sasaku. Suzaku was facing her, a dead serious look on his face. "I-I'm sorry," Sasaku said, "I should've knocked." He proceeded to go back out but Tsunade held up a hand that signaled him to stay. "It must be important if you burst in that quickly, what is it?" she asked. Sasaku explained the situation with Horo showing up in the village. "...and so I would like to request permission to get a couple of shinobi for a seek-and-destroy mission."

"You said that he mentioned something about Orochimaru?" Suzaku said, "Something about him saying Orochimaru-sama?" Sasaku nodded, and a wide grin crossed Suzakus face. "Pack your stuff," he said, "you're comin' with me. I'll drop by your apartment later." Sasaku's mouth dropped and he smiled and ran out the door. Tsunade looked at Suzaku with disgust. "I gave you no permission to bring him on that mission." she said, "If you are going to assassinate the Otokage, then he will only slow you down. I can't approve it!"

"Don't worry," Suzaku said, "I'll keep it under control." Tsunade sighed and nodded. Then she looked up. "I'm putting Naruto and Sasuke with you too." Suzaku shrugged and proceeded to walk out. "Suzaku," Tsunade said as Suzaku reached the doorway, "Suzaku... He is much older now, and didn't know anything about his father or mother. I know you've refused the past, but he's older now, and I think it's time you told him the truth..." Suzaku frowned and punched the doorway. All of his knuckles cracked loudly, and a drop of blood ran down the frame.

"Alright," he said, pulling his hand away, "I'll tell him. While I'm gone, I want the village to know who I am, and while your at it, ready a room here in the mansion. When I come back, I think I'll stay a while." He left and went to pick up his squad for the mission. Suzaku decided to stop by Naruto's place first. He rang the doorbell and Naruto came to the door. He was fully prepared and ready to go. "All right!" he yelled, "It's time for the mission! This is going to be awesome! Believe it!"

Suzaku sighed. "Naruto, can I talk to you for a bit?" he said. Naruto looked at him with a bit of surprise. "Uh, sure, why not." Naruto replied. Suzaku stepped in and Naruto put his pack down before sitting on the edge of a chair at his dinner table. Suzaku stepped up to Naruto. He rubbed his temples, trying to figure out how to word it. "Naruto," he said, "you grew up not knowing any of your family. You were alone your whole life. Didn't you ever wonder who your family was?" Naruto shrugged. "Naruto, I'm your brother."
