Untrue Nightmare
"Wow! I can't believe I passed the first two parts!" Tāra said.
"Yeah! But Iruka-sensei said we wouldn't have enough time for all of it!" Kiko said.
"Iruka-sensei said we'd only have enough time for two. But we got to do all three tests." Tāra said, "Tomorrow is just extra credit!"
"We did fine on the tests, so we should do great tomorrow. But you did really well on the tests today. But I did really well, way better than you, on the written tests!" Kiko said.
"Where are you going with this?" Tāra asked.
"Remember what Iruka-sensei said? He said they balance the Genin teams based on the tests!" Kiko explained, "Maybe we'll get into the same team!"
Tāra laughed. "I highly doubt it. But if we did, that would be nice." She said smiling, "Anyways, see you tomorrow!
The eyes peered out from the tree near Tāra's house. Sasuke had followed her home earlier, and all he had to do was wait until the cover of darkness.
The sun had set.
Some of the lights in the house were still on. Tāra's room and Living room. Sasuke thought, his eyes glowing red with his Sharingan. He made a few hand signs. "Fire Style: Light-Dousing Jutsu" The lights in the house went out immediately.
"Perfect." Sasuke said, "I'll sneak in, no problem." He smiled, and disappeared.
Uhh… I can't fall asleep! Tāra thought, I'd be so much better off if I could sleep. I need sleep if I want to pass the test tomorrow. "Oh wait. I don't have anything special I can do…" She said, turning over.
"Are your sure?"
Tāra bolted upright. "That's no dream. Is it?" She said.
"I certainly hope not." A figure emerged from a corner in her room. A match suddenly lit, revealing the man's face. Dark-blue hair and red eyes with pinwheels.
"W-who are you?" Tāra asked. She was scared, and her whole bed shook because of her.
The man laughed under his breath. "My name… is Uchiha Sasuke. And I've been wanting to meet you for a long, long time."
"Why me?" Tāra asked, "Hey, aren't you that guy Sakura is in love with?"
Sasuke looked at her funny, and then smiled. "So, Sakura is still in love with me." He began to laugh, "I guess she hasn't changed one bit. However, you have. I was wondering whether or not to spare you that night. I suppose I made the right decision."
"What?"
"Do you even know where you come from?" Sasuke asked.
Tāra thought for a moment, and then nodded. "My mom and dad. But Dad left on a mission after I was born. He's a Jōnin, but no one's seen him since I was born." Tāra got out of bed, grabbing a Shuriken out of her bag on her bedstand.
Sasuke laughed so loud, he almost woke up Hinata. "Is that what Hinata told you? Well, these people are horrible at lying. Did you ever wonder why your last name is different from your mother's?" Sasuke asked.
Tāra lifted the Shuriken. Her face showed a large scowl. "My mom and dad were never married." She said.
Sasuke laughed harder than before. "YOU WEREN'T EVEN BORN IN THIS VILLAGE! WHAT A LOAD OF GARBAGE!" He laughed.
"LIAR!" Tāra yelled, throwing the Shuriken with all her strength at Sasuke. He didn't even bother blocking it. Blood spilled from his wound, though he didn't flinch.
Sasuke nodded. "I see why your family, no, your tribe was so highly revered. That actually hurt."
"What?" Tāra asked, "What tribe? What family? My mom?"
"Let me explain. Thirteen years ago, there was a village of elite ninja. The Village Hidden in the Sun. In this village was a tribe of ninja warrior, the Senkū Tribe. That is your family. But they're all dead. I did it. But, I didn't want my work to go unnoticed. So I spared you, and brought you here. I promised to come back in ten years, but I decided to postpone my reappearance. I've been watching you, your friends, your enemies. And I'm interested. You think you can't do anything special. But you're wrong." Sasuke explained.
"So why help me?" Tāra asked.
"Because… Well…" He shook his head, "There's something you have that I want. And I can only take it if you activate it first."
