Naruto Primer: Future Sasuke
Get a Life
Sasuke was sitting at his home, bitterly clinging on to his hatred towards his brother and his frustration because he was still alive. It was now all he ever thought about it. He had been seeking his brother's death for fourteen years, making him twenty-one, still the heartthrob of the village.
But he was not thinking of girls. He was not thinking of anything except his brother for he was obsessed.
He was jerked back into reality by the sound of someone knocking at the door. Upon opening the door, he found Naruto standing there looking slightly perturbed.
"That's a nice chuunin vest there, Naruto." Said Sasuke. Even though he was obsessed with killing Itachi, he still had time to make fun of Naruto even at his age.
"Shut up!" yelled Naruto, crossing his arms. "The Hokage wants to see you."
"Me?" said Sasuke. "Why?"
"I don't know!" said Naruto.
"You SHOULD." Said Sasuke. "YOU'RE the messenger boy."
"Shut up!!" yelled Naruto again. "Just go!"
Sasuke got himself ready, putting on his jounin vest, and hastily made his way to the Hokage's office. All the other jounins in the room left as Sasuke looked at the back of the chair that the Hokage was sitting on. "You wanted to see me?" he said.
"Yeah," said the Hokage as he spun his chair around so he was facing Sasuke. "Actually, I did. Frankly, I've found your recent behavior rather disturbing."
Sasuke never really liked the idea of Shikamaru being Hokage. Ever since he was elected for the position about a year ago, he really hadn't given Sasuke a reason to support the decision, or really go against it for that matter. Just as long as Naruto wasn't Hokage.
"How so?" Sasuke asked.
"Let's just say that your attitude upsets me." Shikamaru said. "So, I have a mission especially for you."
"A mission?" Sasuke said, approaching Shikamaru's desk.
"Over the past few weeks, I've been carefully observing your older brother's movements," Shikamaru said, shuffling for some papers. "And I've found his set location."
"So I should go and kill him?" Sasuke said eagerly.
"Yes and no." Shikamaru said, handing Sasuke the paper he found. "I assembled this team for you. And this plan as well. I want you to take that team and use that plan to kill your brother."
"What?" said Sasuke, taking the paper and looking at it. "Ino? Lee? Shino? That's my team?"
"Yes." Said Shikamaru, folding his hands. "Is there a problem?"
"Well…it's just that…well, I wanted to kill Itachi." Said Sasuke. "Alone."
"You will." Said Shikamaru. "If you follow my plan exactly, you'll find that you need the others, but you'll get to deliver the final blow."
"When should I leave?" Sasuke asked.
"Immediately." Shikamaru said.
Sasuke turned to go and then stopped. "Shikamaru…" he said slowly. "Why? I mean, why did you make this mission? There's no reason for you."
"Yes, the process of tracking Itachi and thinking up that plan was quite troublesome as you can imagine." Shikamaru said. "But, out of all honesty, you disturb me too much so I want you to kill Itachi and then come home and get a life. As you can see it's part of the mission plan."
Sasuke looked on the back of the paper. "Get married and get a life?" he read.
"And have children." Shikamaru added. "Restore your clan, will you?"
Sasuke folded the paper and put it in his pocket. He always thought that Shikamaru was the best Hokage ever.
