A Paramesh Fan-Fiction
Spoiler alert: You must be past the part in the plot where Shikamaru and crew have all gotten back from the mission Shikamaru lead out for Tsunade. If you don't know who Tsunade is; then your way behind and shouldn't read. Stuff will be reviled and you may not like it. That's around the 27th volume of the manga.
Italic words are: thoughts
I hate you. Mom and Dad always treated me like nothing compared to you. To them I was always a failure. And you killed them. You killed them all.
A younger Sasuke was running back to his home through the blood filled streets. There were bodies lying everywhere.
"This…what…is this?"
Sasuke arrived at his frount door.
"Dad! Mom!
"Sasuke! Stay away!"
Sasuke froze. Slowly he managed to open the door. Their he saw his older brother Itachi standing over the bodies of his parents. There was anger in his eyes.
"Brother! Dad and Mom…Why? Why did this happen? Who did this?"
"Foolish little brother…"
"Mangekyou Sharingan!"
"OWAHHHH! Brother Stop! Don't let me see these things! Why! Why would you do this…OWAHHHH! Brother! Stop! Dad and Mom where…"
Sasuke witnessed the death of his parents through Itachi's newly obtained Jutsu. He saw how Itachi murdered his parents without hesitation. The shock of what he saw was too much for his mind. He collapsed on the floor.
"Why…did you…brother?"
"They were just a measuring stick to test my strength against."
"A measuring stick? That's why you did it? You killed everyone for that?"
"It was very important for me to do so."
"What for…That is…JUST BULLSHIT!"
Sasuke leaped forward and proceeded to attack his enemy. Itachi was faster and whacked Sasuke in the gut. Sasuke fell to the ground. He looked forward and saw the bloody bodies of his parents. Teardrops fell from his eyes. Itachi stepped forward and Sasuke jumped up and ran towards the door.
"UWAAH! Don't kill me!"
"You're not even worth killing. Foolish little brother."
Itachi met his brother outside.
"If you want to kill me. Be bitter. Be hateful. Survive though the ugliness. Run. Run. Learn to survive."
I did. I grew hateful and bitter. I felt anger towards everyone. I wouldn't let anyone get close to me. All that so I could find you one day. And kill you. In order to do that I would need to become stronger. I would have to learn powerful Jutsu. But most of all I would need the Mangekyou Sharingan.
He could remember Itachi's words clear as day. "You too, can awaken the same Mangekyou Sharingan as me. But, there is a requirement. You must kill your closest friend."
You surpassed me. There was once a time when I was stronger than you. But now. Now you rival me in every way. Your Rasengan is stronger than my Chidori: so much stronger. But it's only because of your Kyuubi that you have grown so much. My power comes from within. I will surpass you. I will win.
The battle was raging ever so perilously. Blow for blow was exchanged between the two warriors. An everlasting battle fueled by jealousy and rage. Each side showing all it's worth in the battle. Neither side showing fault in combat: and neither side willing to give up. Even it meant ones life.
Finally the last blow would be dealt. The survivor would be declared the victor. Each side channeled their chi and prepared for a final attack.
"Rasengan!"
"Chidori!"
A flash of light. Power. Pure energy entranced in a Crimson and Azure sphere. So deep neither rock nor water could penetrate. In the end there would be only one true victor. And although one wins the battle: all who are involved lose everything.
Finally it's over. I can't seem to bring myself to kill you Naruto.
The clouds enveloped the sky fading all light to darkness. Sasuke stood near Naruto's head gazing down at his body. His scratched headband fell down and landed to the left of Naruto's head.
"Naruto…I…"
As Sasuke looked up: the clouds began weeping. Their tears covered the scarred battlefield as if mourning over the events of that day.
He felt a pain in his left side and grabbed his arm. He fell to his knees and coughed up blood.
Gaah! This pain. The bloodseal must be…
Sasuke stood up and began walking into the forest. He was still clutching his arm because he was still in pain. His thoughts drifted back to his mother and father. To Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura.
I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to kill my best friend. I won't be like you Itachi. I WILL NOT BE YOUR PUPPET! I will gain power in my own way! I will surpass you in my own way! Absolutely!
Because I shall have: my revenge.
