Chapter 3: THE GREAT TREE SHAKES

The night sky is a cold thing, the stars dotting every other place in the skies surface, like an old blanket, that had holes poked in it. The wind blew ever so softly, dancing around itself in circles, brushing up against sasuke's cheeks, picking his Diamond white hair off of his back, and pulling it along with its breeze, as if begging it to dance along. Sasuke Sighed to himself, beggining to question the reason he was really part of the sound village silently in his head. As trivial as it sounded, Sasuke had originally come to Orochimaru to gain the power he was promised. Instead he found himself working for the man he was clearly stronger than, What was Orochimaru's purpose, Why has he tried to hard to make me strong, but done nothing to heal his arms? These questions continued to float around in his mind, eventually floating off into the nothingness of his mind. Sasuke felt himself rattle a bit, the wind blowing ne heavy time, sending a strong cold chill down his spine. Sasuke Blew in his hands for a little while to warm them up, allowing his hot breath to circulate in between his inclosed palms.

Sasuke Looks over his shoulder for a moment, sensing the presence of another person behind him. Acivating his Sharingan, he Scans the area for a little while, his body tensing up, ready to spring into action if it were another Hunter-nin from Konohagakure.Sasuke'sbody relaxes a bit, his back now slouching over once again as he calms himself down, assuring himself that the konoha hunter nin wouldn't be coming for him at this hour. He Closes his eyes and exhales, turning himself back around. Sasuke Opens his eyes very slowly, releasing his sharingan and lifts his head up. Sasuke let out a slight yelp as he focuses his eyes on the person infront of him. Orochimaru, His -kage's snake like eyes piercing into his own as if reading Sasuke's mind, burning their way through the back of his skull. Orochimaru's tongue slithers out of his mouth and hovers infront of Sasuke's nose for a breif moment. It then turns back into its owners body, rolling itself up tightly. Sasuke assumed it did this to fit into Orochimaru's mouth, but wasn't too concerened with it. He Put his hands up to his face, one cupping over the other just above the bridge of his nose showing only his eyes, something he had been doing sinse his early years at Konoha.

"What..." Sasuke rushed.

"Its time we talked about your mission, Tommorow bright and early, We will finally begin our attack on Konohagakure. The fifth will be a difficult person to defeat alone. So I have arranged for you to fight her along with Kabuto, Kisame, and your brother."

Sasuke's eyes widened apon hearing that he would be working with Itachi, the man he had sworn to kill. He lashed out at Orochimaru, wrapping his hand around his leaders neck and digging his nails into Orochimaru's skin. He growls heavily and lifts him slightly up off of the ground and pulls Orochimaru's face closer to his.

"Have you gone mad? I refuse to work with Itachi,I dont care about taking down Konoha, I want my brother dead. If you want Konoha destroyed so badly you can do it yourself. Tell me Orochimaru, no more games. Why haven't you healed your own arms? All the Techniques you've learned, and you haven't even bothered to fix yourself. What do you want with me, why are you using me like some...tool?" Sasuke's voice grew louder and louder as he drew his finger nails into Orochimaru's adams apple, feeling the blood drip down his knuckles and onto the ground with a very warm thud. Orochimaru quickly pulls himself away from Sasuke's grip and stares him in the face, his eyes now full of anger and killing intent.

"I'll tell you this Sasuke, I am the reason you have the abilities you do. I am the reason Itachi hasn't killed you. I am the person who supplied you with enough people for you to kill to gain that Sharingan, it was me, sasuke-kun. If you feel so inclined as to attempt to kill me here and now, then i'd advise you to do it. This little out burst will cost you your sleep." Orochimaru's eyes shook in his head as he stared directly into his could be enemies eyes. Orochimaru smiled some in Sasuke's face, then turned his back on him and began to walk off into the distance.

"Your mission begins tommorow, Go to Konohagakure, Destroy it. Leave no one alive, Women, Children, and men alike. Then I promise you, your Magenkyou Sharingan will be exponentially stronger than your brothers."

Sasuke Churned a little bit, and jumped down from the boulder he had been sitting on. Sasuke's shoes hit the grass and caused it to crunch a little bit, as it smushed into itself under sasuke's weight. Orochimaru's words brought up horrible memories, The way He had obtained his Magenkyou was something he rarely talked about, for the memories taunted him and caused him the most unbearable pain one could ever experience. You see, The way Sasuke had Obtained his Magenkyou made him no better than his brother, He had killed Sakura. In one of the most impossibly painful ways he could have thought up. Sasuke fell to his knee, vommiting on the ground infront of himself as he remembered the screams, Sakura begging on her knees for him to spare her life. The Sounds of Her taking her last few breaths as she scratched at the rocks on the edge of the lake while he held her head under and drew Kunai into her Spinal Cord as slowly as he could, one after another and picked out her bones. He remembered carrying her limp, bloody body to the Valley of the end, and tossing it over the waterfall. He remembered watching her fall towards her final resting place under the water, her blood stained his hands and his hair. The only person to ever continously admit her love for him, only for him to turn up his nose at it.

Sasuke fell limp, his face sliding against the Blood red Vommit he had spew forwardS. His Vision leaving him very slowly, the figure of his only lover standing above him with a smile on her face, tears running down her cheeks with Flowers held close to her bossom. He Held his hand out to her, and she reached back out to him grabbing his warm hands and crouching low to the ground pulling his head into her chest and kissing him softly on the forehead. The ghostly Figure pulled her lips away from his forehead and just at the bottom of his ear lobe and whispered, "I forgive you" at an almost impossible to hear tone. At this, Sasuke's body collasped, he fell into a deep sleep.

Sasuke's body shuttered just once shaking him awake, the sun was bright, Lighting up the cleared field infront of him. The fields seemed to stretch on for miles and miles. Sasuke Rose to his feet and dusted the dirt off of his clothes, and lifted his head up taking a moment to yawn and stretch himself, his chest muscles flexing as he was leaning backwards. He bent over and touched his toes, rose up and leant to the right, then to the left and rolled his shoulders a bit, getting himself stretched for he knew today would be a rough day on his body. The Final Mission, the day he would take down Itachi. Sasuke Turnt around to see what was behind him and was shocked to see what he had found.

Kabuto must have used a force sleep technique on him and carried him to Konoha, the night before. Sasuke laughed some and Grunted, looking at a note that had been tied to his left wrist.

"Sasuke, We are in position. Use the Ryuuka No Jutsu on the 4 main Buildings in the center and around the outside of Konoha that will be the signal. We have left an anbu outfit for you, please wear this after giving us the signal, that way no one will suspect you."

-Kabuto "

Sasuke sighed to himself, How troublesome this was becoming. All he wanted to do was fight Itachi, but he found himself being used to attack Konoha, troublesome indeed. Sasuke crumbled the note up in his left hand and fumbled around a bit at the pouch he always carried at his lower back and slowly pulled out four long bladed shiruken, each blade curved just a little bit and painted a deep black, the actual blade of each wing painted a light silver. Sasuke Tied a string around the Demon Wind Mill shiruken, knotting it at each end and twisting the string around a long wheel at his back. He flipped his hands around a bit, making the katas:Serpent, Dragon, Hare, Tiger just before launching himself up into the air completely inhaling as much as as he can hold within his chest and launching each Demon Windmill shiruken from his body towards their targets. As the Shiruken leave his hand, the strings they were attached to whirl around on the wheel at his back making a very high pitched squeel, the Shiruken themselves give off a low growl as they slam into the buildings they were sent for. One at the top of the Main building where The fifth would be, one into a hospital at the far right, another at the far left into the academy and the other screaming directly for the faces of the previous kages, digging itself in.

As people looked curiously for a moment,but soon disreguarded what was happening as just another anbu ninja Setting up traps for any enemy ninja. Little did they know, the trap was set for them. Sasuke Finally let all the air out of his chest, Opening his fire gate while yelling "RYUUKA NO JUTSU" in his mind. As he does this, flames shoot from his mouth and travel angrily down the strings towards the Demon windmill shiruken that were embedded into each building. The Fires hit their marks, igniting a letter bomb tied to the blade of each Shiruken causing a chain of explosions through out Konohagakure.

Sasuke Came Floating down to the soft grass, landing with a very dull thud just next to the anbu mask and clothing that had been left for him. Sasuke quickly Changed into his outfit and slid the mask over his face, a slight smile creeping across his perfectly toned features a smile of pure blood Lust. Sasuke turnt around on his heels and took a few steps towards the konoha gates preparing himself to get as close to tsunade as he could within the first few minutes. Sasuke Closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming himself down, knowing that he will need to be in complete control of himself while close to the hokage. After a few seconds of preparations he opened his eyes, only to see a man standing infront of him wearing a black cloak that seemed to flutter about angrily, even though there was no wind in the air. The omnipresent figure turned his head over his shoulder and stared sasuke in the face with just his right eye, the same cold eyes Sasuke had obtained.

...Itachi
