Chapter 11: Harsh Feelings
Sasuke POV: I lift my eyelids slightly. The last thing I remember is being knocked onto the ground by the fist of Sakura. My head hurts, my body is sore, and the whole ground feels hard like stone…
"Sasuke, are you okay?" someone asks. I lift my head up a little bit and notice that it is Sakura. I nod my head. I hear a boy talking to her, but everything sounds far away and blurry, so I can't hear their words. Sakura walks up to me and slightly heals me. I mutter a "thanks" and then I think, Tadashi picks me up and carries me on his back.
"I can walk by myself," I say, and gets off.
"Don't push yourself," Sakura states. I say I'm fine, but when I start to limp, she says, "As always, like the old Sasuke," with a sigh. "Why do you always try to act tough when you are just hurting yourself?" She asked that question, but it sounded like she didn't want an answer.
Now I'm out of the hospital. Whew… they always are too kind and yeah… I hate hospitals. I want to set out again… I still need my revenge done.
I'm leaving. The citizens and shinobi of Konoha don't want me to leave that bad? Okay, I get how important I am.
"I'll come back, I promise," I tell the Hokage. She nods her head.
"Don't ever forget your promise," she states. Yeah, yeah I understand.
"Okay," I reply, rolling my eyes.
I want to kill Itachi. I want to kill him with my own power. To defeat him is to help the clan. If I ever restore the clan, I don't want someone like Itachi to destroy it again (if he lives to be that old). That is why I want to kill him. I don't care if I never restore the clan. I just want to kill him.
~A While Later~
pant, pant I made it!
"Itachi… I made it. Come out! I want to fight you…" I said with a slight growl.
"Sasuke… You want to seek revenge, huh?" he replied.
My eyes widened. How did he know? Whatever, I need to kill him…
"I'm surprised that you bothered," Itachi said in a monotone.
I get in position, ready to fight. Itachi stands there still and steady. "Are you ready?" I ask/yell.
