The sun was about to set completely anytime soon. Sasuke watched as the red and orange mixed in the sky like a painting kept from the eyes of those unworthy of it. Flocks of birds flew into the endless sky. Dusk came too early for Sasuke likes.
Kabuto was wrong. Orochimaru was wrong for agreeing. They were all wrong. And he; Uchiha Sasuke was going to prove that. He walked around and saw the reactions of the new soldiers. They were all heavily sweating and fidgeting against something. Fear and insecurity was clear in their eyes. Some were talking amongst themselves while the others kept to themselves. He wouldn't blame them though this was another form of suicide.
They were going to fight against Samurais.
He scowled rather loudly when he remembered his talk with those two fuckers. He didn't accept their decision that's why he came barging in Orochimaru's office with heated glare towards them.
Flashback
He opened the door angrily—or rather kicked the door open only to reveal Orochimaru seating comfortably in his seat and Kabuto looking in the windows. Both of them looked at Sasuke as he entered.
"Ah, Sasuke-san," greeted Orochimaru his ever malicious smile present.
"You're making a mistake and a rather huge one," he said straight to the point.
"You know what Uchiha-san I really don't get why you are so scared to these Samurais," taunted Kabuto.
"I am not scared of them," replied Sasuke firmly.
"You have guns and all the other new and modern equipments all the way from the West whilst your enemy only has those rusty blades called Samurai," continued Kabuto ignoring Sasuke's previous reply and comment.
Sasuke sneered at him, "You're right we have the latest equipments known to man kind but we only have practiced them for how many weeks only? And those rusty blades called Samurai have been practiced for decades and centuries, wielded by the best and most disciplined. What an advantage, eh?"
Kabuto frowned while Orochimaru continued to smile—(cough, smirk, cough, cough).
"Their swords and bows are useless against our guns and cannons believe me Uchiha-san," was Kabuto's reply.
"You're just wasting all of your men!" cried Sasuke slamming his hands to Orochimaru's mahogany desk.
Kabuto looked at him and he glared back.
There was just silence before Kabuto broke it.
"No Uchiha-san I am not. You will have to leave soon. Now, go out."
Sasuke looked at them disbelievingly before turning his heels and slammed the oak doors all the while cursing the both of them under his breath. It was an order from the general. He couldn't do anything about it.
Sasuke was dazed out from his musings when Kakashi tapped his shoulders in order to gain his attention which Sasuke gave.
"It's already dusk, let's go," said Kakashi.
Sasuke sighed dejectedly, "Yeah."
He turned to his men and shouted, "We are going to leave now! Remember to never ever at any circumstance break your line. Am I understood?"
He heard Kakashi re-shout his orders in Japanese then there were an instant reply from this unprepared army.
"HAI!"
Sasuke mounted on his horse before shouting again, "Let's go!"
With that ordered he kicked his horse and the horse begun to run. He watched from his shoulders as his men marched to the trees of Oto and Kakashi shouting some orders. He refocused his attention on the way when Kakashi sped up next to him.
"Kazama Arashi is their leader's name," informed Kakashi.
"Kazama Arashi. I'll remember that," replied Sasuke as they both sped up and shouted new orders to the army.
"How do you plan on finding him?" asked Kakashi.
"I won't," replied Sasuke. Kakashi looked bewildered at him then he saw Sasuke's smirk, "I'm pretty sure he'll find me."
Kakashi chuckled softly before speeding up in front of Sasuke.
They reached the trees of Oto in 25 minutes and awaited their enemy's arrival. Everyone was sweating heavily and gripped their weapons hard and close to their chests. They waited for 5 more minutes before they heard the stomping of horses making their way towards them.
"On my mark!" shouted Sasuke.
Kakashi re-shouted it in Japanese and the people in the first three lines crouched while the rest stood firmly.
Later they saw a good number of Samurais in armors charging towards them.
"Ready!" shouted Sasuke.
"Don't shoot until I order so!" ordered Sasuke and Kakashi translated it.
But it was too late they started firing at the Samurais already.
"No! Not yet!" shouted Sasuke but they weren't listening anymore. Sasuke growled in annoyance before ordering again, "Fire at will!" Kakashi re-ordered it and so the battle begun and they were badly losing.
One charged at Sasuke with his katana (A/N: Katana Sword) Sasuke barely dodged it and was grazed at his left cheek and before the Samurai could attack again Sasuke already shot him. He continued firing to the up coming two. Three shots each Samurai. Another found it's way to Sasuke and knocked Sasuke of his horse and relying on instinct he grabbed one of the Katanas on the ground and fought the four samurais that surrounded him.
They continued fighting and he didn't notice another batch of Samurai enter and one of them in front had blonde hair and kind blue eyes but full of discipline. Said man stopped and so did the rest in his group and turned to where their leader was looking. A man surrounded by four Samurais.
Sasuke wasn't stupid and he knew he was going to lose. Why? Let's tell you the reason one by one okay?
First his gun already ran out of bullets.
Second he was severely outnumbered.
Third he is fighting them with a sword which was his first time in using too while those around him wielded the sword with utter and great confidence.
Fourth he was already slashed in his left and can barely stand up because of an injury in his right foot.
Great isn't it? And now lookie here the rest of the army are already retreating. Double great! He thought frustratingly.
Then one man wearing a red armor stepped in and stopped the four as if to say, "He is mine to kill."
The man attacked Sasuke with such force and Sasuke dodged it but in return fell to the ground and the katana falling from his hand. The man was about to stab him with the sword above him when he grabbed the katana again and stab the man's throat with it. The man lost his grip on his sword and slowly fell on his knees and then to the ground, face-first. Sasuke was just about to sit-up when the other four that were stopped by the man roared and charged into him.
And at that moment Sasuke knew he was going to die and he wasn't going to die before he could curse, "Fuck!" he screamed.
He awaited the swords that will soon penetrate through his body when he heard a firm voice shout, "Yamero!" (A/N: Yamero Stop!)
"This man has won his duel with Neji fair. We are to capture him and nobody shall hurt him under my command. Am I understood?"
"Hai!" was the heard the instantaneous reply.
The last thing Sasuke saw before passing out was a man who appeared to be in his early 40's with blonde hair and blue eyes look down at him and then everything was black.

Sasuke stirred in the futon and was about to turn around when warm hands prevented him in doing so. He then heard voices and the door opening and then closing. Then someone started speaking and it's not as if he can understand him. If he knows they're just discussing how to kill him. He groaned at that.
"How is he?" asked a man's voice probably in his early 40's. The same voice he heard that stopped those men from killing him.
"He has many wounds. I have healed most of it. I am just stitching his slash in his left torso. Other than that I think he's fine," replied a woman's voice probably on her late 40's or something.
"Sakura, get me a damp towel and a hot water immediately," ordered the woman's voice again.
"Hai, Shishou," was the reply of whom he presumed was "Sakura". The door was opened and then the second later it was closed again.
He opened his eyes and tried taking everything around him but all he could see was a blur of people around him. The woman who ordered the Sakura was at his side stitching his wound. The man with blonde hair was on his other side apparently looking at him as well. Then he looked around again and saw two men looking at his things. One was a bored looking guy who kept on uttering, "Troublesome" every time they got a new thing from his bag. Then there was another man who freaking looked like a dog with a white dog at his side.
He turned his head again and saw a red haired man around his age too with the kanji of love written in his left forehead the man appeared to be meditating.
With a grunt he heard the door opened and close again. But two people entered the room he looked over to see who it was and saw a girl around his age again with pink hair and emerald green eyes carrying a bucket of what he presumed was water and a small towel inside it. She then gave it to the woman currently stitching him.
He then gazed at the person who entered behind the girl and sit down beside the blonde man. He too had blonde hair and seems to be 24 years old like him. The boy stared at him too and there was this hurt expression in his crystal blue eyes. The young boy had cat like- whiskers at his face and was beautifully tanned a bit. All an all the boy was beautiful.
Said boy sighed disconsolately causing the other occupants of the room look at him and then there was pity in their eyes as they looked at him. The blonde man in his early 40's tried to touch the boy in his shoulders only to be squatted away. Sasuke couldn't understand it. Why, why were they acting like that? Then the boy stood up and left with out another word.
He saw the door close and then everything was black again.
-
Sasuke woke up at the sound of the rain outside and tried to sit up but failed to do so and was about to fall back in the futon when arms caught him. He looked up and saw the same man that stopped the others from killing him.
"You have been sleeping for the past three days, brat," said a voice as he was carefully helped to sit up. He looked in front of him and saw the source of that voice. A woman who appeared to be in her late 30's with light blonde hair and was put up in a pig tail. She had a purple diamond in her forehead and had her arms crossed.
"Are you alright?" asked the man that helped him sit up.
He tried to answer but he couldn't find his voice so he just grunted in reply.
"So this is the brat that defeated Neji, eh?" asked a man with long white hair and the kanji for "Oil" written in his band. He had red painting in his face and appears to be smirking or was that a smile?
"Apparently," replied a voice in the back of the room and when he looked to see who it was he saw the blonde lad that had left immediately the night he was being treated, the beautiful blonde boy.
"I'm going out," said the boy again and left.
The three remaining occupants of the room sighed wretchedly. Then the blonde man spoke in perfect English, "My name is Kazama Arashi and I am the leader of this village."
"I am Jiraiya one of the advisors here," said the man with white hair.
"And I am Tsunade the healer," introduced the blonde woman.
Sasuke knew they were waiting for him to introduce himself but hell he wouldn't.
"You know not introducing yourself even among enemies is a rude gesture," said the Arashi.
"Hn," replied Sasuke.
"I see. Well, we would just like you to know that winter is near and it will take you a week before you can get back to the town and the snow will really kill you. So it is for the better if you stay here. You are, after all our captive. That is all. I hope the next time we meet we already know your name."
Then the three stood up and Tsunade and Jiraiya already left when Arashi was about to go Sasuke found his voice back,
"Wait," he called out.
Arashi stopped and looked at him, "Yes?"
"Who was the blonde boy earlier?" he asked.
Arashi raised an eyebrow at him then answered, "Your name first."
Sasuke growled in annoyance and reprimanded his pride to stop their control over him for the mean time, "Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke."
He saw Arashi smile then said, "Well then Uchiha Sasuke-san the boy was my son Kazama Naruto."
"Who…" tried Sasuke.
"Who what, Sasuke-kun?" asked Arashi.
Sasuke swallowed hard before asking again, "Who was the man in the red armor that I killed?"
Arashi frowned a bit before answering him again, "Hyuuga Neji."
"And who is he here?" asked Sasuke curious to why they were all that affected by the man's death.
"He," started Arashi before continuing, "He is a very skilled Samurai and was betrothed to my son, Naruto. Their wedding was supposed to take place next week when the moon is full."
With that said he left leaving Sasuke behind.
To say Sasuke was shocked is an understatement he was stunned at the information given. No wonder Naruto looked so upset and had a cold disposition to him. He frowned. He will do everything to make Naruto re-think his opinion at Sasuke. And Sasuke will do everything and when he says everything it means everything.
