Naruto: Legend of the Ghost Rider Chapter 23: the Immortal Akastuki...not so
Sasuke woke up in a white room. He tried to get up, but found that he was that weakened. He saw 3 faces. Naruto's, Sakura's, and Tsunade's.
"Hey Bro" Naruto said. Sasuke smirked. Tsunade then spoke.
"Sasuke. The council wanted to put you on severe probation, but I had managed to to lessen it, to an extent. You can't go on any missions for 1 year, and for about 3 months, you're not allowed to leave your home" Tsunade said. Sasuke sighed.
"I deserve it, for all that I've done. I'm sorry for all the crap. But I'm afraid that I can't so easily take care of it. I have the power to Kill Itachi now, and It needs to be done as soon as possible. I don't want him nagging at me anymore" Sasuke said. Tsunade sighed.
"I figured you would say that. Alright, I got one better. You can go and kill your brother, under the stipulation, that Naruto watches over you" Tsuande said. Sasuke agreed with that.
"Where's Kakashi Sensei?" Sasuke asked. Naruto sighed.
"He's currently out on a mission. A mission to kill off 2 Akastuki members, along with Team 10. They're doing this, out of revenge" Naruto said. This piqued Sauske's interest.
"They killed their sensei, Asuma Sarutobi. So yeah, they wanted revenge. And we're gonna join up with them. But We're gonna be going very soon. You need to recover all your strength" Naruto said. Sasuke nodded. He got up.
"Well, you've recovered fast" Sakura said. Sasuke nodded.
"Thanks again guys. But the outcome would have been the same. I was not planing to become the Next Orochimaru. I was going to kill him. But Naruto beat me to it" Sasuke said. Naruto smirked.
"Well, I had a large Beef with Orochimaru, so yeah, I had to kill him. Plus, I was oh so kindly asked to, by my master" Naruto said. Sasuke and Sakura understood who he meant. Sasuke gripped his seal, as it was hurting him.
"Here. Let me" Naruto said. He channeled some Demonic chakra into the seal,. Which broke it. Sauske felt stronger.
"I feel, more powerful. I can still feel my powers there, but I know the curse is gone" Sasuke said. Naruto smirked.
"Well, lets go then. We don't want to be to late" Naruto said.
A few hours later, they were at the battlefield. Shikiamru had taken on one, while Kakashi and the others focused on another. The 4 (Including Daniel) Had arrived.
"Kakashi-san. We'll take it from here" Naruto said. He looked his Target.
"Kakazu from Waterfall. Interesting" Naruto said. Kakazu smirked, and it could still be seen, despite his stitched up face.
"Careful Naruto-kun. He has multiple hearts" Ino said. Naruto smirked.
"Well then. Let's see how he does" Naruto said. He got all 9 of his chakra tails out, and rushed at Kakazu with a new Rasengan. It was bigger, and shaped like a Shuriken.
"Damn. That got one heart" Kakazu said. Naruto then bashed, punched and kicked Kakazu all over the place. Kakazu had many different broken bones now.
"This is boring. Sasuke. He's all yours" Naruto said. He Saw that Sauske was powerful, and dominated Kakazu. Well, there wasn't much Kakazu could do, as Naruto had crippled him.
"Kakashi-san. Tell me about the other" Naruto said. It was nighttime now. Shikimaru was now beside Naruto.
"Oh Hidan. He basically was truly immortal. He could have all his limbs cut off, yet still live...even his head. Then, if he touches your blood, you die. It's how Sensei was killed" Shikiamru said. Tey heard an explosion, as the blonde haired Akastuki immortal rose from the ground. Naruto smirked. He walked over, transforming.
"Damn. That was not good" Hidan said. Naruto then grabbed Hida's throat. It meant only one thing. The Penance Stare.
Hidan shook violently, before falling limp. Naruto tossing him to the side, before torching him.
"Sasuke. Is Kakazu dead?" Naruto asked. Sasuke nodded. He then used his fire to torch Kakazu.
"Let's go home" Naruto said, turning back to normal. Everyone agreed.
Once back at the front Gates, Sasuke had stopped.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked. Sasuke looked up.
"There are some Ninjas in Oto that I wanted to use, in helping me defeat Itachi. I still want them to, but I can't do anything without Naruto. That kinda sucks" Sasuke said. Naruto smirked.
"Well, looks like Hinata's gonna be kept busy for a while. No. We need her for this mission to kill them. Maybe I can get Neji to take care of my team. Anyways. I'm off" Naruto said. Walking away. Sasuke smirked. Sasuke then looked at Sakura.
"I'm sorry" He said. Sakura was confused.
"For everything. I mistreated you, I badmouthed, and berated you, before. I had no intention, but I needed to keep as minimal contact as possible. Seeing how Naruto is, and how strong he is, I knew I took the wrong path" Sasuke said. Sakura then embraced Sasuke, which to her surprise, he accepted.
"I don't want to lose you Sakura. I rejected you, because I cared. I...I love you...Sakura-chan" He quietly said. This surprised Sakura. She then looked at his eyes. They were full of hurt and sorrow. He knew that she still loved him, and she knew his true feelings. They closed in, kissing underneath the stars and moon.
Some distance away, Naruto had deactivated his Byakugan, and smirked. He knew, it was about time.
