Chapter 19 - The Last Battle

Sasuke and Sakura's eyes widen as they see the big machine behind Itachi and it is activated, Sakura looks at him "That must be the thing that will destroy the leaf village, no matter what we must stop that machine!" Sasuke nods,

"right, you deal with that and I'll stop Itachi" Sakura nods and starts to move slowly towards the machine way."What the hell are you doing here?" Sasuke glared. Itachi smirks stepping forward,

"I told you we would have our rematch little brother, you were lucky last time, only this time you shall die before my hand!" Sakura glares at him clenching her fists tight. "And oh look who you've brought with you, how pitiful" he turns back to face Sasuke, "I should have killed you all those years ago I know that now, there can only be one Uchiha, I can't have you disgracing the name, die Sasuke!" He lunges at him, as Sasuke just stands there trying to come to terms with the fact that Itachi was back. Sakura grabs his hand quickly and he glares at her "You!" she glares back,

"That's right, still got some anger from that time you killed me!" she punches him hard and he takes the hit smirking.

"Sakura let me deal with him. You work on stopping that machine before the village is no more" Sasuke looks at her, she nods and rushes back over to the machine looking at all the buttons,

"Eh right, let's try this one" she presses different buttons and gets electrocuted by one and yelps sucking her finger "nope, not that one." Sasuke looks at Itachi as they circle each other,

"You shouldn't have come back, you haven't changed at all" Itachi grins punching him hard knocking him flying back, he hits the wall hard and stands up wiping his mouth and sees Itachi surrounded by a blue light.

"Oh I have Sasuke" he grins. Sakura watches wide eyed and concentrates harder on shutting down this machine, for Sasuke's sake as well as the village's. Sasuke gets up and throws a few punches which Itachi easily dodges and counters hitting Sasuke with several powerful punches of his own. The fight goes on like that for a while; Sasuke takes all the hits, Itachi looks down at a bloodied and bruised Sasuke "Is this really it? Is this the best you got? You used to fight for what was right, but now you're just a coward" he smirks stepping on him, Sasuke coughs and also smirks holding Itachi's foot tight.

"Heh well guess what rules change, you're fading" Sasuke pushes him off and Itachi flips back in the air and Sasuke stands up holding his chest. The blue light starts to fade away from Itachi and Itachi frowns. Sasuke looks upwards towards Sakura and smiles "I have my light," with that being said he throws powerful punches at Itachi and seems to be having the upper hand when the ground rumbles and Sakura holds onto the machine tight.

"What's happening?!" Sasuke looks around as Itachi smirks when a bright light starts to appear from the ground.

"It's the beginning of the end, the thing that will kill you for good" Itachi states and Sasuke glares and continues to fight him, while Sakura goes back to the control panel on the machine.

"Come on there must be a way to stop this" she frantically pushes any buttons and finally the light fades and whatever was going to appear seems to have retreated.

"No!" Itachi yells and Sasuke smirks grabbing him from behind and snaps his neck.

"Goodbye brother, I have finally avenged my clan and killed you!" he glares kicking his brother's body. Sakura jumps down and looks at him and smiles.

"You did it" she hugs him tight. Sasuke looks on and thinks about that and smiles hugging her back,

"Come on, looks like the leaf village is safe, let's go home" she looks at him and smiles slightly,

"You're right you saved the village well with some help from me of course he he, but Sasuke there's something I have to tell you..." she looks at him and he moves to looks at her.
