This is not the last chapter! You guys gave me some good ideas to keep going and also a lot of people saying you don't want it to end just yet. So I guess it won't. "Hate me. Detest me. And survive in an unsightly way." -Itachi

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto, but now I can say that I do own Aiden, Hizashi (jr), Seito, Kakashi (jr), Taiki, and Ryu.

Sasuke burst the Hokage's office, interrupting a meeting with Kakashi and Tsundae. "Ah? Sasuke. What do we owe this rather annoying intrusion to?" The 5th asked in a bored tone, resting her head on her hand. Kakashi just nodded with his normal greeting.

"This." He threw the piece of paper from the kunai on to her desk so they both could see it. The two leaned over so they could read what it said. "'I'm still here. Don't forget your hate. You're becoming weak.'" Kakashi read the note out loud with a certain heaviness in his voice, like he was tired of it already.

"Are you sure this is what it seems?" Tsundae asked Sasuke nodded. "It was wrapped around a kunai that was found in the old Uchiha homes… My son found it. It is Itachi" The Hokage nodded, noticing the complete seriousness in the situation.

"I'll send Anbu forces to your home so your children and wife will be protected." The younger Sharingan user shook his head. "That's not enough. I'm leaving to day to go after him." "I can't allow you to do that. You don't have any clue to where he is. You don't know how long that note could have been waiting for someone to pick it up."

"I don't care." 'I was distracted for so long. I have to destroy him.' Kakashi was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest observing. "What does Hinata think about this?" Sasuke frowned. "It doesn't matter."

Two Sharingan users walked to the gate of the village together. "I'm not going to try and stop you." Kakashi told his student. The dark haired man just nodded. "I just thought you should know you're just like him."

Sasuke didn't hide the fact that the statement had caught him completely off guard. "I would never kill my family." He spoke angrily. Kakashi nodded. "I know that. I was talking about the way you left your family."

"Sasuke, what's going on?" Hinata asked when he arrived back. He didn't answer her, just went straight to their bed room. He began gathering a few things that he would need for his journey. "Sasuke where are you going?" Her quiet and scarred voice sounded so innocent. He had to stop what he was doing for a moment and take a deep breathe to prepare for what he was about to do.

"I need to go for fill my dream." He was cold, uncaring, it hurt her. "B-But you can't!" She seemed desperate as she followed him into the kitchen. Naruto and the others were listening in on the conversation from the nursery where they were looking after the kids.

"We… We have a family now, you can't leave us! Your sons' will grow up without a father!" She was trying to hold back the tears and keep the pain out of her voice but she couldn't help it. On the inside Sasuke was torn but his out side didn't show a thing.

"There's nothing you can do to stop me. I've made up my mind." The former Huuyga wasn't going to give up so easily. She stood in front of the door, blocking his way out. "Move." She shook her head. "You told me that you loved me Sasuke. You said you loved our children. If you did you wouldn't leave!"

It was in that moment that Sasuke did the most horrible thing he could think of. "I lied. How could I ever love someone as weak as you?" 'Hate me.' "You're nothing." 'Detest me.' "You're a fool to think that you meant anything to me besides helping me revive my clan." 'Survive without me.'

Hinata stepped away from the door way, her head low. She felt like the stupidest person in the world. She had given herself completely to him and now he was laughing in her face. She heard the front door slam and looked towards the nursery door.

All of her children and friends were starring at her. Pity? Is that what was written all over their faces. "I have to go." She spoke but her voice didn't come out. She turned away and ran out the door. Neji gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Kiba put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. Not this time.

"I had to say those things." Sasuke muttered. Kakashi just nodded. "If they hated you then they wouldn't miss you as much. It's the same thing Itachi did to you." Sasuke turned away from his teacher.

"Take care of them. All of them. Make sure that they all grow up to be strong ninja." "I'll make sure they all live up to their names." Sasuke nodded and looked out the gate. "I don't think I'll be coming back this time." Kakashi didn't answer.

"Here." Kakashi pulled out a few slightly warn photo graphs from his vest. Sasuke took them hesitantly. It was a picture of all of his kids together. All of them except the younger two were covered in dirt completely. They were all grinning, as happy and dirty as can be.

The second picture was of Hinata and himself. She had a slight blush on her face because of a remark the silver haired ninja had made before taking the picture. Sasuke had his arm around her shoulder, not even bothering to look at the camera, finding his wife a lot more interesting.

The third picture how ever was of a younger Sakura and Naruto asleep on each other. He raised an eye brow to his teacher. Kakashi laughed. "I thought you might need a picker upper when you're feeling down."

He made the dark haired man believe that was the only picture he had but in truth he had stashes of them hidden all over the village. He had been bribing Sakura into going on minor missions for him and doing other troublesome tasks and in return he would let her destroy one picture out of the many he had.

Sasuke walked through the gates, not looking behind. He placed the pictures in his pocket, knowing that he was going to be looking at them a lot on his journey. He walked away from half of his dream in order to for fill the other.

This chapter sucks. I know it. I ran out of things that I wanted to put in this chapter after Kakashi said he'd make sure the kids live up to their names. The rest was pretty much pointless and I apologize but at least I can try to make up for it with the next chapter. Please review.
