Disclaimer: Read the first two chapters.
Yeah, sorry for the long wait. I've been brutally attacked by things called homework from the land of school, sent by horrible creatures called teachers. I know! It sounds terrible.
Last time…
Naruto woke up after a couple more hours and he could barely see anything in the almost pitch blackness. He wrapped his arms around himself, feeling much colder all of a sudden. He then felt something hard like gravel against his head. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was lying on the ground and Sasuke was gone. He raised his head slightly and looked around for him. When he couldn't find Sasuke, he closed his eyes, feeling new, fresh tears coming to his eyes.
--------------------------------------
A small note was left for Naruto, and oddly enough, it was stuck in the hem of his pants. It merely read: 'sorry for leaving you, Naruto. I'm at my house – the Uchiha district… Come if you want. – Sasuke.' Sasuke was indeed at the Uchiha district, standing in a lone room with what looked to be a cabinet in or something of that sort, and he stood there, staring at a scroll, eyes narrowed.
Naruto shifted a bit as tears fell down his cheeks and felt something sharp stab him, right below the naval. He 'eeped' softly and pulled out a folded piece of paper which was the note that Sasuke had given him. After he read the note, he refolded it and put it back in the hem of his pants, getting up and almost falling over from the lack of use of his legs. He walked for what seemed to be hours and hours before he stopped at the doorway of the room in the house that he had found Sasuke. Sasuke seemed to be in deep thought over some scroll, so he knelt beside the doorway silently and watched Sasuke with one eye peeking from behind the doorway. What the hell was Sasuke doing?
Sasuke didn't even notice Naruto as he crouched near the door; he just continued to read over the scroll, still not wanting to believe what it said. Shifting slightly, he finally noticed Naruto and turned a little bit, gazing towards the blonde. "…Naruto…"
Seeing that Sasuke had noticed that he was there, he stood up slowly. Naruto gave him a small smile and said, "Hey there, Sasuke." Naruto glanced toward the scroll then back at Sasuke. 'Is this the scroll that he came to see? What's so important about it?' he though, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Sasuke saw the movement of Naruto's eyes as they narrowed and he glanced silently toward the scroll before looking back at Naruto. "I'm guessing you're wondering about that scroll… if you want to know what it is, I suggest you reading it yourself… I'm not going to dare repeat what it says."
Naruto looked to Sasuke then nodded, walking closer to the scroll and beginning to read its text. He grew slightly pale once he read it and his hands started to shake. Naruto slightly clenched his hands into fists then he turned to Sasuke, speechless. Bowing his head a bit, he managed to say, "You can kill me Sasuke…" Closing his eyes, he prepared for whatever blows Sasuke could throw at him.
Sasuke didn't say anything for a moment, staring at Naruto. 'I would have to kill him to get that power,' he thought. "I'm not going to kill you Naruto."
Opening his eyes, Naruto slowly raised his head to meet Sasuke's gaze. "The scroll infers that you have to kill me to gain enough power to beat Itachi… It's your dream to get back at Itachi for killing your clan. I'm fine with you killing me Sasuke. Do it." Naruto slightly braced himself again.
Sasuke continued to stare at Naruto for a moment, taking a very deep breath and reaching into the pouch that held his kunais and slowly pulled it out, gripping it tightly in his hands which were starting to shake. "I'm… sorry Naruto," he whispered, darting forward quickly and thrusting the kunai through his lower shoulder, eyes closing. He knew his hands were going to be very bloody.
As soon as Sasuke shoved the kunai into his lower shoulder and pulled it out, Naruto collapsed onto his knees, the sticky red substance that was blood spewing and flowing everywhere. He muttered a hoarse, "…Sasuke…" then fell on the ground saying "I'm glad that you'll accomplish your dream…" before blacking out.
Sasuke's own eyes widened at Naruto fell to the ground. He dropped the kunai and took a couple steps towards Naruto. Bending down, he slowly moved the boy to where his wound was facing up so he could see it. He did this and did that and slowly bandaged his wound so it would stop bleeding. By the time he was done, the whole front of his shirt and hands were covered in blood. The Uchiha then moved Naruto away from the bloody mess and up against the wall. He then stood, backing up slowly away from the blonde. "Naruto, I'm sorry. I can't stay here now, after what I did to you…" he mumbled, slowly pulling off the forehead protector and setting it down next to Naruto before slowly backing away once more, moving out of the room, raven strands of hair tumbling into his face as he walked.
