A day ago in the Land of Darkness
Salem did it. It took a lot of energy out of her, but she did it. Now with three new more powerful members, Sasuke would not stop her. She surveyed the three people in front of her
"Now, tell me you're names," Salem said
A man with blonde hair, a black neck high cloak said, "Deidara."
Then, another man in a red cloak who seemed to resemble Sasuke then answered, "Itachi."
Lastly, a man with long, black hair, and obsidian black eyes, with the left glowing purple, and red mesh armor and a giant fan on his back said, "Madara."
Salem then said, "Alright then. Deidara, Itachi, Madara, I am Salem, and I am the one who resurrected you."
Madara then asked, "And for what reason have you resurrected us?"
Salem then replied, "Tell me, have any of you ever heard of Sasuke Uchiha?"
/
There
It is done
Now they knew everything
Sasuke could see the effects that they had on everyone
Yang stepped back in anger, and asked, "How in the hell could that guy give Sasuke another chance? How!?"
Yang looked towards Sasuke and said, "He's a killer!"
Ozpin stepped in front of Yang and said, "He WAS a killer, but he admitted to being wrong in the end."
Ruby then put her hand on Yang's shoulder, and said, "Yang, please, he's trying to make up for it. This time he's trying to help, not destroy."
Sasuke could feel what little bond that he had formed with them begin to weaken
Weiss looks at Sasuke and Yang, as if she didn't know who's side to take
Blake appeared to be in the same condition as Weiss
Sasuke then said, "I did what I thought was right. You have no right to question me, they were my choices."
Yang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said, "I have every right to question why you came back!"
"Alright, thats enough! For the last goddamn time, stop arguing!" Maria shouted, "We need to move!"
"She's right," Ruby said
Sasuke looked at Yang and said, "We will settle this later."
Maria then pointed and said, "Look, there's a trail, trail's usually lead somewhere."
"Ain't got any better ideas," Weiss said
As the group walked along, and Yang pushed Bumblebee with Maria on it, Sasuke and Weiss were the furthest from the group.
Unexpectedly, Weiss says, "Sasuke."
Sasuke looks to her, and says, "What?"
Weiss looked away and said, "I don't really blame you for going the way you did."
Sasuke then raised an eyebrow, and said, "And why is that?"
Weiss then replied, "My father never really gave me any attention, and my brother never really liked me. My Mother was always drinking. It was my older sister who always took care of me. She was the one who trained me, the one who stood up for me. If I saw her kill the people I loved, I might have gone the same way too."
Then she looked at Sasuke
Sasuke looked back
He could see that she wasn't lying
And then, as he looked into her eyes, he realized that in a way, she was him. She was the Sasuke that adored Itachi, the one who loved Itachi, the one who hadn't seen Itachi kill his parents
She and her sister were close, just like him and Itachi. Inseparable even. And Sasuke vowed to himself that he will do all that he can to keep it like that. For Weiss's sake. For Itachi.
After they walked for 20 minutes, they came across a farm
Qrow then said, "Well, it's better than nothing."
Sasuke then said, "You all go, I'm going to stay out for a bit."
Ruby looked at Sasuke, and said, "Are you sure?"
Sasuke nodded
He jumped up onto the farmhouse, and went into a meditation stance
"Hagoromo, where are you?"
"I am here. Now, are you ready?"
"I am ready"
/
Ruby looked out from the porch that she, Qrow, Weiss, Blake, Oscar and Yang stood on
It was practically blazing snow out there, and Sasuke just sat there on top of the farmhouse, motionless. He hadn't even moved for an hour. She even thought that he wasn't breathing a few times
And another thing that had puzzled her that all the houses except the one they were in was either damaged or unfinished
"I just don't get it!" Yang said, "How could something like this happen!?"
"Maybe everyone left in a hurry?" Weiss suggested
Qrow was about to turn the doorknob when he heard clanging come from inside
"Stay on guard," Qrow said
As he kicks the door open, everyone rushed in, ready for a fight
Everyone rushed in, weapons drawn
It was empty
"Close the door already! It's cold enough as it is," Maria said as she walked in
After they closed the door, Blake said, "I saw a chimney. Wanna make a fire?"
"Please do," Oscar said
"I'll look for some blankets," Yang said
Ruby turned around as everyone went to do whatever, and she saw a picture on a wall. As she got closer, she could see that it was the townsfolk lined up by the gate
Blake came and saw the picture as well, and asked, "What do you think?"
Ruby replied, "Somehtings not right."
Blake shook her head, and said, "I mean, what do you think of Sasuke?"
"Oh," Ruby said, "Well, he did make some bad choices, but he's here now, making up for it. Yang may not agree, but I think that it was the right decision. Although we may be a little more wary of him."
Blake nodded, then said, "Same."
Suddenly, they heard someone scream
Blake and Ruby rushed upstairs and found Yang and Weiss on the floor, panting, and they looked shaken
Ruby then saw the two bodies. They were in the bed, as if they just fell asleep, then never woke up
/
"Magnificent. Already you have excelled past my expectations. You're even more of a natural in Senjutsu than Naruto. It's a wonder that you haven't ever tried this training before," Hagoromo praised Sasuke
Sasuke frowned
"Naruto was not trained by the Sage Six Paths," Sasuke pointed out
"Point proven,"
Sasuke continued collecting the nature energy, but then he started to notice something odd
As he collected Nature Energy, he could feel small bits of it being taken away
Sasuke then asked, "Hagoromo, do you-"
"Sasuke, you and your comrades are in grave danger. You all must leave with haste."
Sasuke opened his eyes and activated hid Sharingan. And when he looked at the ground, he could see Grimm
"What in the hell?"
Then he saw it
He saw small bits of his chakra coming out of his body and being absorbed by the Grimm
"So, they are feeding off my chakra. I must warn the others."
Suddenly, he felt a presence
It was above him, in the air, but it felt…familiar?
Sasuke looked up, and with his Sharingan, he could see it
A giant bird that had a man riding atop
Sasuke smiled, "So, you have returned."
/
Yang and Blake struggled to see in the storm, as they walked in search of a vehicle
They saw a large shed, and Yang said, "Let's check in there."
As they opened the door and closed it behind them, they saw that it was filled with farm supplies and even a tractor
Yang went to check out the shed, and Blake followed
"What do you think happened here?" Yang asked as they searched
"Well, there is that well in the square. Maybe Water contamination?" Blake suggested
"Yeah, maybe," Yang replied
Yang clutched her head, as if she had a headache
Blake saw this, and said, "Hey, you okay?"
Yang replied, "Yeah. I mean no. I don't know. It's just that I'm tired."
"Yeah," Blake replied
Yang then saw a trailer
"Hey I found something," Yang said
Suddenly, out the window, she saw Sasuke, his eyes glowing red, and he drew his sword and dashed at Yang from the outside
Yang jumped backward, and gasped, but then after blinking, she saw that she was just hallucinating
Blake ran towards Yang, "Something wrong?"
Yang sighed, "I was just seeing things. Sorry."
Blake nodded, "Maybe we should head back."
"Yeah, good idea," Yang said
Suddenly, they head a explosion
They felt the shed shake, and multiple items fell off the shelves
"What was that!?" Blake said
/
Sasuke jumped backward to avoid the white little bird that flew at him, and it exploded where he had just been
"How are you alive!?" Sasuke asked
Deidara hovered in the air on his bird, and said, "I can't say much, but I'll just say that I made a deal with the devil."
Sasuke pulled out his Kusanagi, and said, "Well, I'm going to send you back to hell."
Deidara smiled, and he held out his hands, white clay coming from the mouths on his hand, and two deformed, humanoid figures made of white clay formed
"It would be wise to try to stay away from any of his creations, he could make them explode anytime unless I hit his bombs with Lighting Style Jutsu."
Sasuke channeled Lighting Style chakra into his sword, and immediately, it became enveloped in electricity
Sasuke charged forward, and jumped over the two figures as they swung at him, and as he jumped over them, they twisted backward, and their arms stretched out and grabbed Sasuke's legs
Sasuke slashed the white limbs apart, and continued his flight to Deidara
Deidara's bird flew backward to avoid Sasuke's slash, and Sasuke landed back unto the ground
Deidara made multiple white birds, and sent them towards Sasuke
With only one hand, Sasuke made multiple hand signs, then when he was done, he shot both of his hands out, his right one still holding his sword, and said, "Raiton: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu! (Lighting Style: Thunderbolt Technique)
Lightning bolt shot out from both of Sasuke's hands, and Deidara flew off to try to escape the bolts, but didn't expect them to be so fast
One of the bolts clipped the wing of his bird, and the electricity traveled up the bird's wing and gave a small electrocution to Deidara
"Damn it!" Deidara shouted
He lost control for a second, and he landed and skidded across a rooftop before falling off the other side Sasuke dashed after him, but then was confronted by the two humanoid beings that he had cut off the arms off earlier
Sasuke frowned
He didn't have time for this
Sasuke flew the hand signs quickly with only hand hand, then jumped backwards, "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!(Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)"
The fireball shot forward, and exploded as t hit the ground, blowing the humanoid clay monsters to bits
The force from the explosion shot Sasuke backward with even more force, making him faster as he dashed towards Deidara
Deidara's bird had just started to rise back up when Sasuke came and kicked him off his bird, and Deidara crashed into the ground, and Sauske landed in front of him
Deidara quickly got back up
"Huh, you're faster than I remember," Deidara said
Sasuke brandished his Kusanagi, and said, "Lets see if you're still weak."
Deidara created two more humanoid beings, and they hobbled towards Sasuke
The first one threw a wild swing at Sasuke, and Sasuke hopped over it, and landed on its head, a jumped off it using the blobs head for a launching pad, and he slashed the second one in half, severing it's legs from it's upper half
Sasuke slashed at Deidara, and he bent backwards to avoid the slash, then he pulled out a kunai and tried to stab at Sasuke
Sasuke ducked, and slashed at Deidara's feet, and Deidara jumped backward, and made a small white clay bird, and threw it at him
Sasuke dodged the bird, but it exploded as it flew past him, leaving a cloud of snow and smoke where Sasuke stood
"Hah! Take that!" Deidara said
However, when the cloud cleared, all that stood in Sasuke's place was a log
"Huh? Not this again," Deidara said
The humanoid figure that Deidara made hobbled towards Deidara, when suddenly, Deidara saw blue light behind it
"Chidori!" Sasuke shouted as he easily blew the figure apart, but still charged towards Deidara
Deidara then made a hand sign and said, "Katsu!"
Suddenly, the ground below Sasuke exploded
"Phew, that was a close one," Deidara said
Suddenly, a blade went right through Deidara's chest
"That was just a shadow clone," Sasuke said
"Agh, you bastard!" Deidara shouted in vain
Sasuke then pulled out the blade from Deidara's chest, and blood came out
Deidara went onto his knees
"Gack, I'm not…finished with you!" Deidara said
"Yes, you are," Sasuke said, before he stabbed him in the neck
Deidara's body thumped to the ground
"Hmph, pathetic," Sasuke said
Sasuke sheathed his sword and started to walk away, when suddenly he heard laughing behind him
Sasuke turned around, and he saw Deidara was not laying on the floor, but he was standing up, his wounds gone, as if they healed
Sasuke was shocked
"Hah, did you think I would go down that easily? The devil also gave me a new gift!" Deidara said
"Impossible," Sasuke said
Deidara gave Sasuke a sick smile, and said, "Now, I'm gonna kill you."
Deidara charged, and threw a right hook at Sasuke
However, Sasuke's Sharingan easily depicted his attack, and he redirected the punch to hit the air to Sasuke's left, and he spun around and backhanded Deidara in the face, then he pulled out a Kunai in his other hand, and he held it backward
Sasuke ducked and slashed Deidara's leg, leaving a gash on his lower thigh, then he spun around again and slashed Deidara's face
"Gagh!" Deidara shouted in pain
Then, the bastard looked at Sasuke, and smiled
The gash across his cheek started to heal
Deidara then said, "That's not the only gift I have been given."
Than Deidara immediately let White clay from his hands pour out, and it started to form into a giant Nevermore
Deidara jumped atop it and said, "Now thanks to the Devil's magic, I have ten times more chakra, making my art even more powerful!"
Sasuke backed up
No. Now was not the time to fight Deidara
The grimm below his feet was slowly draining his chakra, and making him more tired by the second now that he wasn't gathering Nature Chakra
And to make matters worse, Deidara's chakra was unaffected by the grimm, and Sasuke only had one eye. Goddamn that lunatic and his so called 'Art'
Sasuke needed to find everyone else and get them to safety, and get them out of here, away from the grimm and Deidara
Sasuke looked at Deidara, and said in an unimpressed voice, "Is that all?"
Deidara gave him a baffled look, then said, "You cocky bastard!"
It worked. Insulting Deidara made him make eye contact with Sasuke's Sharingan, and Sasuke put him under Genjutsu
Deidara immediately stopped moving, adn Sasuke jumped backward and pulled out five explosive kunai, and flung them at Deidara's frozen figure, and they exploded on contact, and Sasuke immediately went in search for his comrades
"That won't kill him, but ut'll disable him for a few minutes. His healing factor will take some time to completely heal him from that," Sasuke thought, "Now, where are they?"
Sasuke then saw signs of aura in a certain big building
"There they are."
Sasuke stopped at the front door, and opened it, and walked in silently
Everyone jumped when he walked into the living room
"How the hell did you not make any noise?!" Yang asked
Sasuke held up his hand to shush her, and said, "We need to go. Someone is here, and there are currently Grimm under our feet sucking away our energy as we speak," Sasuke said
Maria then said, "Grimm? Under our feet? Sucking our energy? Wait, of course! The Apathy! We need to leave, NOW!"
"But what about the blizzard?" Blake asked
Suddenly, a boom shook the house
"The blizzard isn't the only thing out there," Qrow said
/
Deidara flew above the town, and thanks to the enhanced eyesight given with his healing factor, he could see through the blizzard
He surveyed the rows of buildings, and couldn't see Sasuke
"You can run, but you can't hide!" Deidara shouted, "No one can escape my art!"
Immediately, he started raining down white birds that exploded as they hit the ground and buildings below
And he did it all the while laughing maniacally
Then he spied one certain house
It was big, and it was one of the few that was not damaged and finished
"Looks like I found a nice, big target," and Deidara immediately started to form a little white bird, and Deidara started laughing maniacally as he was about to let it fly
"That's enough," a voice said, "Salem commands that you stand down."
Deidara frowned, and said, "What do you mean? I still have to find Sasuke!"
"The Apathy will drain his chakra if he is still in this abandoned lot, and he can't get very far in this blizzard," the voice reported
"Oh, I swear, Itachi, you always ruin all the fun," then Deidara turned and flew away
/
Sasuke could feel Deidara's presence leave
"What? Why?"
Sasuke looked around him with his Sharingan
"Wait, what!?"
The Apathy was no longer draining his comrade's energy, but now they were all attracted to his Chakra
"Could it be that they prefer my chakra?"
"We need to go, NOW!" Maria said
"I believe there is no need for that," Sasuke said, "It seems that they prefer my chakra to your energy."
"Huh?" Ruby asked
Yang looked at Qrow, and said, "I believe we could blame that on some bad luck."
Then Yang looked at Qrow, who looked away embarrassed
"But, if it drains all of your chakra, you'll die," Ruby said
Sasuke simply sat down in a meditating position, and, "It won't run out. I will be gathering Nature energy constantly, and that should hold off for now."
"Ain't got no better choice. The blizzard is keeping us in," Oscar said
He was right
During the bombing, the blizzard had worsened. They were snowed in for today
Qrow then said, "You sure you can hold it until tomorrow kid?"
Sasuke nodded
Weiss then asked, "Who was that?"
Sasuke answered, "Deidara."
Yeah, gonna end it here, but Sasuke won't see the last of him. Oh, BTW, here's a bonus scene
Tyrian looked at this person called, 'Itachi'
He licked his lips and smiled, and said, "Well, looks like we have a killer. Tell me, are you a killer?"
Itachi looked at him, and said, "And why would I tell you?"
Tryian giggled, and said, "Oh, just curiosity."
Itachi nodded, and said, "Let me satisfy your curiosity."
Suddenly, his eyes turned black and red, and had a three bladed shuriken pattern on his eye
"Tsukuyomi"
Suddenly, Tryian felt multiple swords pierce him, and he felt immense pain, only for them to disappear and feel himself become ablaze
For what felt like thousands of years, Tyrian was tortured again and again, each time different from the other, and he felt pain in every single time. Tyrian begged for death, but it never came
Finally, he was no longer in some black void being tortured eternally, but was back in Salem's castle, on his knees
He could feel Itachi's foot on his back
"Tell me, am I a killer?" Itachi said
Tyrian nodded, and Itachi's foot left, and he said, "Leave the Green-haired girl alone. Or else. No one here is prey for you to toy with."
Then he left.
