Assassin in the Moonlight
Chapter 06:
Sasuke decided to leave his Porsche at home, he thought a bit of fresh air would do him some good. He walked downtown Konoha, for no particular reason whatsoever, not knowing where he would end up. It was around 8 PM, and the area had reduced down to just a few people walking the streets. Sasuke walked until he came across a forest, lush with trees and shrubs.
'It's been a while since I came here….' He reminisced entering it. '…..I wonder if it's still there….' Sasuke walked through the forest until he came across a hung tree that looked to be about 200 years old. The roots were thicker than his body and it was about 25 meters high. He then jumped up, climbing the branches until he almost reached the very top. There was a small hole that had engravings on the outside of it and was sealed up. On top of the hole was a handprint.
Sasuke put his hand on the print and did a jutsu that made his hand glow an electric purple. The seal began to diminish in front of his eyes. He put his hand in the hole and took out a white box with the Uchiha fan on it, his father had given it to him. Sasuke opened it up and inside was a picture of his dad and him, playing basketball, one of his mother and him in the kitchen cooking and the last one, of his brother Itachi training him.
He had forgotten about this box for so long, why had he remembered about it now? Sasuke flipped the box upside down and put the pictures in his pocket, for safe keeping. He was about to set it on fire when he saw the bottom of the box pealing off, which was quite strange as he didn't remember about putting anything there.
Sasuke pealed the bottom off and inside was a picture of Naruto, Sakura and him along with Kakashi. It was the picture of cell 7, a cell where he had learnt much about life, being a ninja and most of all, teamwork.
He tucked the picture with the rest that he found and burned the box to ashes. Then something caught his eye down below in the forest, a small house. Since when was there a house here? Someone must have put it up not long ago as it looked fairly new.
Sasuke leaped from branch to branch until he was about 100 meters from the house, to be a safe distance away in case of traps and such. He bound onto the roof of the small residence and peeked through the window. It didn't look like anyone was home right now, or it could have been abandoned as there isn't a mailbox near the house.
Then, Sasuke decided to pry the window open and take a look inside. He climbed through the window as sly as a fox, hardly emitting any noise and looked around. Sasuke was inside a room, a blue room. It consisted of a bed, a desk, and a closet, either than that it was completely empty. He crept through the hall and came across a pink room the next door diagonally from the blue one.
It was a much occupied one, with curtains, a desk, closet, TV, etc. But no bed. 'How strange…' Sasuke thought looking over to a door that was partially closed within the bedroom. He put his hand on the doorknob and carefully turned it, releasing a creak. Inside the small room was a bed, with a figure sleeping in it peacefully. Sasuke was about to leave when he saw that the figure had pink hair, a cherry blossom-type of shade. 'So Sakura lives here..' Sasuke thought going to the bed to get a glimpse of the person. 'Yeah, it's Sakura.'
Nomura looked at his prized collection of specimens on the shelves in his home, he had a stuffed Cobra, old coins which were polished by him at least once a week, but the most valuable was the head of the most gifted assassin in the world, Sakura Haruno. He felt proud to have such a valuable item as it was a one and only piece of evidence left to show that she was dead.
Before Sasuke brought her head, Sakura had killed Boa, the only child of Orochimaru. At least she did one thing right thing that would benefit him and get him richer than he already is. Sasuke had mailed the head of Boa to Nomura as he wanted her in his collection as well.
Nomura looked at Sakura's head until something caught his eye. Why was part of her face not proportioned to the other side of her face? He opened the glass cabinet and pulled out the head, with gloves of course not to damage her. Nomura looked over at the head and it hit him, he had been deceived, and by Sasuke of all people! "Outani (His secretary), get me Akira on the phone this instant!" He yelled into the reciever. "And send out Ryou to track down Sasuke Uchiha."
Outani then replied calmly 5 minutes later, "Dr. Akira is already waiting for you in the laboratory, and sir…" "Yes?" Nomura replied enraged. "Ryou has already tracked down Sasuke Uchiha via satellite, he's in Konoha Forest."
