My last chapter, enjoy and review! ^^
Chapter 8
Uchiha vs Uchiha, only the strongest will survive...
"Do you really want to do this Sasuke? Waste your life with a meaningless revenge?" The oldest Uchiha asked.
"Meaningless?! You...you killed father, you killed mother... You fucking killed everyone! I despise you, I hate you and I lived in a unsightly way... I don't have the same eyes as you, I have better ones!" Screamed a pissed off Sasuke while activating his Sharingan.
"Hmm." Itachi mumbled.
"This time I will not fail!" Roared Sasuke while running at Itachi.
Itachi stood still, showing no emotions as expected from the one who killed an entire clan on a single night. Sasuke unsheathed his sword and lunged into Itachi.
The audible noise of metal clashing could be heard, Itachi blocked his brother's sword with a single kunai forcing Sasuke to retreat to a defensive stance.
Itachi dashed against him and with one arm grabbed Sasuke's wrist disarming him.
The sword went flying and ended in the celling or at least what was left of it. Sasuke charged a Chidori with his free arm and with all of his might he swung it into Itachi, unfortunately for him, the older Uchiha did a 360 degrees spin unbalancing Sasuke who ended up hitting the floor with the Chidori.
"Maybe if I kill her, he'll show up..." Thought Itachi.
He dashed at Sakura who couldn't react, Itachi pulled out a kunai and jumped at her.
At the speed of light Tsunade stepped between her pupil and the Uchiha in an attempt to save the girl, closing her eyes waiting for the deadly blow.
Blood was spilled all over the room, to Itachi's face...
"I knew you'd come..."
Tsunade opened her eyes just to be shocked... A man wearing a white cloak with flames at the bottom, a black uniform and a red fox Anbu mask stood in front of her grabbing with his bare hand Itachi's kunai.
"Don't you dare to lay a finger on them..." The mysterious man spoke calmly like he just hadn't been freaking stabbed by a kunai!
"That voice..." Sakura whispered.
"Naruto is that you...?" Tsunade asked still shocked.
With just his hand, he smashed the weapon into tiny pieces. Itachi backed away and faced his brother again who tried to slash him one more time.
He dodged the blow by jumping over Sasuke and instead the Younger Uchiha cut the man's mask in half...
Both half's splattered on the floor exposing the man's true identity.
"Dobe..." Muttered Sasuke.
"Nice to see you again...Teme." Replied Naruto.
"Naruto why don't you spare me the trouble of defeating you and come with me on your own free will?" Itachi asked Sarcastically.
"First because you tried to kill my precious people, second... because this will be Sasuke's revenge."
"As you wish..." Said Itachi.
He closed his eyes just to open them again with the Mangekyou Sharingan. He stared right into Naruto eyes.
"Dobe what are you doing?! Don't look him in the eyes!" Sasuke Shouted.
"Interesting... Seem like even my Mangekyou Sharingan doesn't affect you." Replied Itachi.
"W...what?" Asked a surprised Sasuke.
In a flash Naruto got behind Itachi and tried to kick him but was blocked by his arm, with no time to waste the Jinchuriki punched the Uchiha in the chest making him fly towards Sasuke whom prepared to give a Chidori.
However Itachi used his leg to avoid the powerful jutsu, grabbed Sasuke's leg and threw him against Naruto.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" He Shouted. Two clones appeared and grabbed Sasuke while the real one jumped over him and using some kind of wind control, he used the air itself to launch himself against Itachi.
With a bloody tear running down his cheek Itachi whispered:
"Amaterasu." Black flames engulfed Naruto in mid-air.
"Naruto!" Screamed Sakura while trying to go to his rescue just to be stopped by the firm arm of Tsunade.
"Look closely." Were the simple words of the Hokage.
A kunai made it's way through the flames, Itachi prepared for the blow but instead a yellow flash took the place of the weapon, Naruto showed up from the flash and grabbed Itachi.
"That move..." Itachi said shocked.
"My father's jutsu... Now Sasuke! Hit him with the Chidori and end this!" Shouted Naruto.
"What?! If I use the Chidori with you there you'll get hit too!" Replied Sasuke.
"I know Teme... Now shut up and hurry up!" Naruto shouted once again.
After some seconds Sasuke downed his right arm as a huge electric flow started to travel around his hand, he looked one more time to Naruto and nodded... Sasuke jumped with the arm in the air.
"You're willing to give your life just so my brother can have his revenge?" Asked Itachi.
"In a blink of an eye..." Were Uzumaki Naruto words, then for the first time in the fight Itachi smiled.
"Take care of him for me." Itachi whispered as he threw a jab on Naruto's chin making him fall.
Just then Sasuke's Chidori hit the target... Blood was flowing freely down Sasuke's arm, a perfect hit right in the chest of his brother and still Itachi had that smile.
Slowly Itachi raised his arm to the level of Sasuke's face and with two bloody fingers he poked him in the forehead.
"I always loved you...Sasuke."
Itachi closed his eyes and dropped to the ground with a loud thud, Sasuke didn't move... He stared to his hand which was dripped in blood, then he looked down to Itachi's lifeless body and for the first time in years, Sasuke... cried.
-Flashbacks-
"I'm slowly catching up to you, brother."
"Sorry Sasuke, maybe next time."
"Father tomorrow is..."
"I'm going to Sasuke's entrance ceremony into the ninja academy."
"Brother... You're so far away."
"Well... We're just, unique siblings. In order to overcome your barriers, you and I have to continue living together."
"....."
"Even if it means hating each other. That's what being an elder brother means."
"Brother! Father and mother are...! Why?! Why ?!! Who the hell... This..."
"Foolish little brother..."
"Why... Did... You...?
"It was to measure my capacity."
"You can't be my brother..."
"Foolish brother, if you want to kill me... Despise me! Hate me! And survive in an unsightly way. Run, run and cling to life... And when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me!"
-End of Flashbacks-
Sasuke felt an hand on both of his shoulders, belonging to Naruto and Sakura who stood there with a solemn expression.
"He... he always loved me... He could have dodged the attack but he didn't.".
Naruto squeezed his shoulder.
"Don't worry, from now on things will be better... I promise!" Said Naruto.
"Thanks...Dobe" Replied Sasuke as the last tear dropped to the bloody floor.
Sakura chose this opportunity to tell everything to the blond.
"Naruto, what you've heard..."
"I know... Kakashi told me half year ago." Interrupted Naruto
"W... What?! Then why didn't you come back?! I missed you so much!" Cried Sakura.
"I missed you too but... When I went to get Teme here, I fought Itachi and Kisame who told me that they were coming after me soon. I couldn't jeopardize my precious people so I joined Anbu." Naruto explained.
Sakura ran into his arms and hugged him, she sobbed into his jacket. Naruto lifted her chin and with his thumb, he stroke her tears. Sakura surrounded his neck with her arms and pulled him down to a kiss... A kiss which contained the sorrow, the pain but mainly the love that were accumulated in their hearts.
"I love you Naruto-Kun." Whispered Sakura as she broke the kiss.
"I love you too my cherry blossom." Replied Naruto while kissing her again.
What other adventures will stand in their way? Team 7 has reunited, Sasuke had his revenge, Naruto and Sakura showed their true feelings to each one... However Akatsuki will not stop until they get their hands on the Kyuubi, many dangers will fall in their path, but that my friend... Is another story for another time.
