I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, put my story on favorites and alert. Also a big thanks to tehbeastxx for reminding me about Kabuto. Anyway please read & review...


The next day Sasuke woke up early. He was feeling much better because Sakura had healed him. He felt a presence beside him. He turned around to find Sakura sitting on a broken chair beside him, her head resting on his bed. She looked quite uncomfortable in that position. So, he got up and pulled her up on the bed, gently lying her down. After all she was his teammate and she had helped him recover.

He went outside for some fresh air. There was a pond nearby so he went there and started washing his face and getting the sleepiness out of him.

"We should get moving today." He thought as he stared at his reflection in the water. He wondered where Madara had disappeared to. He hadn't seen him after the fight with Danzou. Sasuke could have died if Sakura hadn't showed up. What did Madara really want?

"I never trusted that guy." He was taken out of his thoughts when he sensed a chakra behind him. It was Sakura.

"Oh there you are Sasuke...I woke up finding myself on the bed...did you..."

"Hn...You're up. Come and get washed. We'll be setting out in a while." He said in his usual tone cutting her off.

She came near the pond and washed her face while Sasuke stared at the sky.

"I wonder why Sasuke even bothered to put me on the bed." She stared at him but blushed and turned away when he looked at her.

"Listen...Sakura" He started and she looked back at him again.

"My goal is to destroy Konoha and now that you've joined me, you have to go against your village. If you can't do that then don't bother coming with me."

Sakura bit her lip and looked away from him, staring at her reflection. She knew that she would have to go against her village when she planned this. She couldn't go back now.

"I know...I'm ready to take down Konoha alongside you Sasuke." It pained her to say those words. Her friends, her family, her sensei, her home, she was risking everything for the guy who knocked her out and left her on a bench when she confessed her feelings towards him.

"I don't know what your reason is for doing this. But just remember what will happen if you betray me. Come on. We need to get going." He started walking and then jumped on the branch of a tree.

Sakura got up and followed him landing on the tree as well. They started jumping from tree to tree. Sakura still had no idea where they were going.

"Sorry, but where are we going Sasuke?" She asked. She knew that they were not heading towards Konoha by the route they were taking.

"We're going to the Akatsuki base. I need to meet someone." He replied and grabbed two apples when they passed an apple tree, throwing one at Sakura.

"Eat. We didn't have breakfast and it'll take two days to reach the hideout. We will only stop to take a break when it will get dark." He explained and took a bite out of his apple.

"Alright...Thanks for the apple..." Sakura ate the apple as she followed Sasuke to the Akatsuki's hideout. As far as she knew there were only a very few members left. She thought that maybe that was the reason why Sasuke allowed her to come along with him.

"Madara..." Sasuke sped up his pace. He knew that the man was not to be trusted.


Meanwhile with Uchiha Madara...

Madara had arrived at a deep part of the forest.

"Show yourself. I know you're here." Madara told the one lurking in the shadows.

"So you're here Tobi. Oh yes you go by Madara now don't you?" A man came out from the darkness of the woods. He took his hood off. He wore glasses and half of his face was white skinned.

"Kabuto...what do you want?" Madara asked. He didn't trust him. After all he had betrayed Akatsuki when he was working as a spy for Sasori.

"I wish to join forces with you. I heard that you're about to start a war." Kabuto said and did a few hand signs for a summoning jutsu.

"And what will I gain by letting you join?" Madara watched as five coffin like boxes were summoned.

The boxes opened revealing the bodies of Uchiha Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu and Nagato.

"They are not my only pawns." Kabuto smirked.

"And what do you want in return?" Madara asked, his one Sharingan eye flashing through his mask.

"Uchiha Sasuke...I wish to fight him and destroy him." Kabuto started laughing like a maniac.

"And what if I refused?"

"You think that I would come to you unprepared?" Kabuto did a few more hand signs and used the resurrection jutsu. Madara's eyes widened at what he saw.

"You Bastard! Where did you get that?" He yelled as he watched the body in front of him. It was his original body. If anything were to happen to it he might die. But where did Kabuto find it? He had made sure to keep it well hidden.

"Never mind that. So do you agree?" Kabuto smirked at him flashing his hazel colored snake like eyes.

Madara stayed silent for a while until he finally spoke.

"You cheeky brat! You know that I can kill you right now with my Sharingan if I wanted to." Madara was amazed at Kabuto's intelligence.

"But you won't now, will you? We both know you & Sasuke cannot defeat Konoha alone." Kabuto chuckled.

"Very well. I will let you fight him when the time comes. Until then don't do anything. He's an important asset. But remember one thing. His eyes are mine." He flashed his Sharingan at Kabuto.

"You can do whatever you want with those bloody eyes after he's dead." Kabuto said with vengeance in his voice.


So here it is...As you can see I've edited Madara & Kabuto's conversation from the manga. Anyway I hope you enjoyed it. Now review please. You know you want to :)
