Twisted Sight:
Chapter 2

Tsunade-sama rubbed her forehead just imagining the evil headache that was coming, a sigh escaped her lips while she glared at the overly large stack of documents hoping they could miraculously catch fire and turn to ashes. She still couldn't figure out for the life of her why she had signed up for the job….well actually it was.. "pushed" on her. Who would have thought that gambling would put her here… behind a desk as Godaime of Konoha village. A knock came from the main door before a young woman came in, carrying….a pile of guess what? More papers to sign, lots of papers…..damn it!
"Here's the rest of the documents Godaime-sama." the secretary dropped them on top of the oak desk before bowing and leaving again. Tsunade groaned before letting her head drop forward.
"Why me?" she picked up her pen raising it to the closest paper and slowly reaching for the kunai tucked away, by her side. Something cold pressed into her neck making her stiffen.
"Hello 'baa-san."

The young woman looked out the window of her small home into the gloom, the rain pattering on the roof. Thinking….that's all she had been doing recently, about Lee, Ino getting married, Sasuke changing, and…... She shook her head trying to clear the image of a hyper active blonde screeching about anything and everything that had to do with ramen. She smiled sadly, after years of wishing he'd stop announcing his love for her and following her around like a lost puppy…..she had gotten her very wish, funny how things can back fire on you with a snap of the fingers.
'And now he's gone' a lump grew in her throat, even her inner self was feeling down. She scrowled again glaring at her reflection, only finding a lost and angry pink haired woman.
Why did he leave? Doesn't he know what he did to everyone?! How he affected every last soul of Konoha, Sasuke included...especially Sasuke.
"Oh Sasuke." her head leaned against the pane. The Anbu didn't even smile now a days, built more like a statue then flesh and blood. The confident and proud boy was buried so deep in that ghost of a shell, he might as well be dead. Most gave up on him after a few years except for Kakashi-sensei, the Hokage, and herself, but even they were starting to wear down, giving up hope. She stood up stiffly, stretching her arms out and getting the kinks out. For some reason, she felt on edge, like something happened or was happening. Something had to be up, maybe it was just the weather finally getting to her.

A bandaged fist hit the indent in the tree over and over again. A scowl marred the handsome features on the young mans' face.
'Dobe' he screamed out once and put all his strength into the punch. 'Hahaha! I could beat you any day Sasuke!' he closed his eyes, scrowling darkly. 'You're my friend, Sasuke. Why would you think like that?' angry red eyes glared at him in his mind, a distorted picture of a boy with blonde hair having a almost animal look to him. 'If we ever meet again, I will kill you.'

' I want full access to Konoha, the bounty taken off my head while I'm here, and for my men to walk freely.' Tsunade stared at the shadows in the corner where the cloaked figure had seeped into. She scrowled darkly, a kunai in front of her, a design carved carefully on the hilt.
'And if we do not agree?' a red tint covered the surface making the shape more noticeable.
'Then consider your beloved village wiped from the face of the world.'
... like a fox, with nine tails.
