Chapter Ten
Miyazki vs. Uchiha and the argument
Akira ran towards Sasuke throwing useless punches at him as Sasuke dodged each one. "If this is all you have to offer than I say you're not even worth my time" Sasuke smirked. Akira frowned. "That's what you think I was just warming up" Akira explained.
"Bunshin Taiatari" Akira says as he quickly creates a Kage Bunshin (Shadow Doppelganger) above him, who dives at Sasuke using a burst of chakra. As this is happening the real Akira charges towards Sasuke punching him in the stomach numerous of times. Sasuke falls back holding his stomach.
Akira smirks as he looks at the Uchiha. Sasuke stands up as he looks at him frowning as he tried to perform Katon! Ryuuka no jutsu, but Akira wouldn't let him finish his hand seals as he ran towards him and punched him in the face.
"You think that I'm going to let you perform that jutsu…hum you're naïve if you think so" Akira stated as he smirked.
"It seems like I underestimated him…he's much stronger than I thought" Sasuke thought to himself as he smirked. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu" Sasuke yells as a huge ball of flame is exhaled from his mouth and goes straight towards Akira. Akira junmps out of the way just in time.
"That was pretty close…" The blure haired ninja pants as he glances over at his teammates. "Typically Kiyoshi would be wearing that same 'I don't care I'm bored look' while Mizuki is looking at me like she's worried that I'm going to lose when she knows I'm not" Akira glares at them before turing his attention back to the raven haired teen.
"You should pay more attention to you're opponent… Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu" Multiple balls of fire are sent at Akira. Akira stares at the falling fire balls in shock.
"What there are shurikens within the fireballs" Akira tried to jump out of the way but was hit in the arm with an shuriken. Akira holds his arm in pain but acts like in doesn't hurt.
"Hum…this is nothing" Akira states as he pulls out the shuriken in one quick motion. Mizuki watches Akira as she looks at Kikyoshi. "Akira-kun is doing quite well, ne?" Mizuki smirked. Kiyoshi never took his gaze off of Akira.
"Yeah he's doing alright…I guess, but he seems to be holding back on Sasuke-san" Kiyoshi states. Mizuki looked back at Sasuke and narrowed her eyes.
"Why would he be holding back when fighting someone like him…Akira can defeat him easily" She thought to herself as she stared at Sasuke. Mizuki never witnessed Sasuke fight before and she doesn't know what he is capable of but Akira she knows that he is a very strong opponent, sure she has heard things about Sasuke before but she rarely paid any attention to it because the main people that were always talking about him were girls that were fans of his and Mizuki not being a fan of the Uchiha never cared so she never listened.
"If you think a little shurinken is going to slow me down you got another thing coming" Akira smirks as he glares at Sasuke. The raven haired ninja runs towards Akira and kicks him causing Akira to fly up in the air. While Akira is airborne, Sasuke jumps in such a way as to appear below Akira while following a similar trajectory through the air.
"T-That is the same move Lee-san did" Mizuki pointed out as she watched Akira's body falling back down to the ground.
"…Kage Buyo…" Kiyoshi whispered. He remembered the move instantly when he saw it because it was the same move he did on him when he and Lee were fighting. Kiyoshi had always wanted to fight the ninja ever since they were younger and finally had enough courage to ask him to fight him three years ago and much to his dismay he lost the fight but he also gain a new friend in the process.
Mizuki looked at Kiyoshi and then Sasuke. "Maybe he's stronger than I thought" Mizuki smirked.
Akira stayed on the ground for a few more seconds before standing up slowly. "That was a pretty good move Sasuke…where'd you learn it, maybe from Lee" Akira smirked. Sasuke frowned but remained silent.
"Hum…it doesn't matter anyway, because I'm going to win anyway" Akira stated as he ran towards Sasuke. Sasuke smirked as he watched him running towards him as he stood still.
As Akira finally made his way towards the smirking raven haired ninja he threw a punch at him. But Sasuke caught his fist before it could even land on his face, as he pulled Akira in towards him a punched him in the stomach.
Sasuke never once let go of Akira as he holds Akira with one arm while his free hand forms Chidori. He pulls back and hits Akira on the shoulder. Blood splatters everywhere as Kiyoshi and Mizuki watch as Akira falls to the ground.
Both of Akira teammates watched in horror as Akira falls to the ground. Sasuke watches as Akira falls to the ground. As Akira was falling everything to him seemed to be going in slow motion. "I was defeated by Uchiha Sasuke…how?" Akira thought as he fainted. Mizuki runs towards Akira unconscious body.
"Akira are you okay?" Mizuki asked as tears formed in her eyes. She never seen Akira get beat this badly before, during all of they're missions he was the one who was the hero and was never defeated by anyone but now…now he has been defeated by the Uchiha. Mizuki looked back at Sasuke and frowned. Sasuke looked at Mizuki and tell that she was angry at him for hurting Akira this bad. He didn't mean to go as far as using the Chidori on him but whenever he looked at him images of him and Hinata came into his mind. He knew that Akira liked her and due to his possessiveness of her he attacked Akira using chidori.
"I think we should take him-"
"No…I'll just heal him myself" Mizuki stated as she used her medical jutsu on her teammate. Sasuke watched in amazement. "Akira…" Akira looked up to see himself in Mizuki's arms. "Mizuki…where is the bastard" Akira yelled as he shot up looking around for Sasuke but he left as soon as he saw him wake up.
"Take it easy you don't-"
"I don't care where is he? How can I be so weak as to let him defeat me?" Akira questioned himself as he narrowed his eyes. Kiyoshi eyed his teammate. "Well you were after all going easy on him" He said as he yawned.
Akira shot him a glare. "Nani? Why would I go easy on him?" He asked his lazy teammate. Kiyoshi shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know you tell me…usually when you fight someone it doesn't take you so long to defeat them"
"Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Sasuke is stronger than me?" Akira asked while frowning.
"Yeah…but he's not I know he isn't...sure he is pretty strong but compared to you doesn't even compare" Kiyoshi states. Akita scoffed. "You're just trying to make me feel better because I lost" Akira walked off.
Mizuki looked at Kiyoshi. "Were you really?" The black haired girl asked. He shook his head. "No…why would I try to complement him and make him feel better when he doesn't do it to me" Kiyoshi sighed as he walked off. "Geez those are going to be the death of me" Mizuki sighed as she soon followed Kiyoshi.
Sasuke was walking back to Hinata's apartment when he spotted some girls that use to follow him all of the time as he rushed towards Hinata's apartment door and opened the door using the key that Naruto had left on the table when the last time he was there.
As Sasuke walked inside he saw Hinata lying on the couch. He walked towards her and knelt down to look at her. She had dry tears on her cheeks. Sasuke sighed to himself, she was crying because of him.
Sasuke rubbed her cheek as he leaned towards her to kiss her on the lips. When Hinata opened her eyes to find Sasuke's lips on hers she was surprised and pulled back.
"Listen Hinata-chan…I'm sorry for losing my temper with you…it's just that Gaara…I don't like the idea of him being around you" Sasuke explained. Hinata frowned. "But Sasuke-kun Gaara-kun is my friend I don't want to end my friendship with him just because you don't like him and because you're jealous" Hinata replied.
"Who said I was jealous?" Sasuke retorted. "You didn't have to say anything I can tell" Hinata replied. Sasuke studied her face for a while. "Humph…whatever" Sasuke said as he turned his head away from Hinata. Hinata smiled as she looked at him.
"Sasuke-kun…I'm in love with you and you should know that I wouldn't cheat on you with anyone" Hinata said as she touched his hand. Sasuke looked up at Hinata.
"I know you wouldn't it's that Gaara and Akira that I'm worried about" Sasuke said as he placed his other hand on top of Hinata's. Hinata watched his expression, she could tell that he truly cared about her but he also was being a little too over possessive.
Sasuke looked up at Hinata as he sat down next to her. "Hinata-chan you know I still want to marry you" Sasuke stated as he looked at her. Hinata looked at him and blushed.
"…and as you know I want to restore my clan someday…" Sasuke said as he looked away from her blushing. Hinata blushed even more as she looked at her hands.
"…ano…" Is all the Hyuuga girl could say as she still was blushing. Sasuke leaned towards Hinata and kissed her neck. Hinata jumped at first because she was still in a trance when he did it. Sasuke looked back up at her. "Hinata-chan I still want to marry you" Sasuke said as he looked at her in a loving way.
Hinata blushed as she kissed Sasuke on the lips. Sasuke kiss her back. "I love you Hinata and I always will no matter what happens" Sasuke murmured as he was kissing her. Hinata pulled back to looked at Sasuke. "I love you too" Hinata said. Sasuke smiled at her. Hinata looked at her watched.
"Oh no…I have to go" Hinata said as she stood up. Sasuke watched her rush to the bedroom as she came out wearing a medical nin outfit. Sasuke looked at her. "Where are you going...?" Sasuke asked as he walked towards her.
"Hokage-sama needs me for a group of ninjas that came back from a mission that were injured" Hinata states. "You have to leave now" Sasuke asked not really wanting her to go. "I need to be there in ten minutes" Hinata states.
"Well you have a little time" Sasuke says as he starts kissing Hinata's neck as he moves to her neck to her lips. "Sasuke-kun it takes me at least ten minutes to get there" Hinata says as she pushes Sasuke away from her. Sasuke frowns as he looks at her.
"Well what if I walk you there?" Sasuke asked as he looks away from her. "But then people will know that you're back"
Sasuke shakes his head. "I'll just transform into someone else" Sasuke in a matter of fact. Hinata remained quiet for a while before agreeing with him.
They both walked out of the apartment and were now walking in the streets of Konoha. Sasuke was transformed as a browned haired ninja that was tall. As they were walking Naruto yelled Hinata's name. Sasuke sighed when he heard his name.
"Hey Hinata-chan" Naruto beamed as he looked at her grinning from ear to ear.
"H-Hi Naruto-kun…" Hinata replied with a smile on her face. Naruto looked at the male that was standing next to Hinata. "Who are you?" Naruto asked as he looked at Sasuke.
"Ano…this is Kuzuma he's a friend of the family" Hinata replied quickly. Naruto looked at Sasuke well Kuzuma suspiciously but nodded his head.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto…" Naruto said with a smile. Kuzuma nodded his head. "Well we better get going" Hinata said as she started walking. Naruto continued walking towards her. "You're going to the hospital aren't you?" Naruto asked. Hinata nodded her head.
"I'll walk you there" Naruto said. "Naruto-kun you don't have to" Hinata said.
"No I want to" Naruto said as he looked at Hinata. Sasuke sighed he didn't want Naruto to walk with them but he remained quiet. Hinata looked at Sasuke telling to see what she should do. Sasuke nodded his head.
"Alright then Naruto-kun" Hinata said to the grinning ninja. As they were walking Naruto looked at Kuzuma. "You're not that much of a talker are you?" Naruto asked as he looked at him. Sasuke looked a Naruto and glared at him. Naruto noticed the glare but didn't say anything.
When they finally arrived, Sasuke forgetting that he was disguised as someone else leaned in to kiss Hinata. Naruto of course noticed this and punched Sasuke.
"What the hell do you think you're doing you teme" Naruto glared as he stepped in front of Hinata in protective way. Sasuke looked at Naruto in anger at first but then he realized that he was still in disguise. Hinata shook her head as she sighed.
"Don't you ever lay a finger on Hinata-chan…she's already taken and if I ever catch you trying any crap like that on my best friend I'll-" Hinata cut him off. "Naruto-kun you making a scene" Hinata said in a whisper. Naruto looked around to see people staring at him.
The blonde started laughing in a nervous way. "Oh sorry about that everyone" Naruto laughed. Everyone frowned as they continued walking. Hinata looked at Sasuke and then at Naruto.
"Well I better get going…Bye Naruto-kun and Sa-I mean Kuzuma-kun" Hinata quickly corrected herself. Naruto noticed the quick correction Hinata made as he watched her walk inside the hospital. Naruto looked at Kuzuma and then smirked.
"You can cut the act now I know who you are" Naruto said. "Humph took you long enough" Sasuke replied. Naruto smirked at his former teammate. "So since you out here you wanna hang out?" Naruto asked. Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "Sure I don't care" Sasuke replied.
Naruto glanced over at Sasuke and then he looked back down. "Sasuke…are you planning on leaving again?" Naruto asked not looking at him. Sasuke remained quiet.
"You are aren't you? Why, you know it's going to break her heart if you do" Naruto said.
"She'll understand…"
Naruto frowned. "No she won't understand you baka…if she sees you leave again it's going to break her heart even more than the last time" Naruto retorted. Sasuke looked at Naruto. "Look…I need to get stronger and destroy him…if anything that comes first before anything…even Hinata" Sasuke replies. Naruto looks at Sasuke in shock.
"I can't believe you just said that" Naruto says in a surprised tone. Sasuke ignores Naruto as he continues walking. "Well it's the truth if I want to get stronger I need Orochimaru to continue training me so I can finally kill him…even if it takes me years to do it" Sasuke thinks to himself.
"I won't be surprised if Hinata-chan decides to just leave you" Naruto mumbles. Sasuke frowns at his friend. "She won't do that"
"Oh yeah…how do you know for sure…and don't give me that she loves you kuso because you'll never know she could leave you for someone who-"Sasuke slams Naruto against the nearest tree. "Look I know Hinata and she won't ever betray me like that and go off with someone else" Sasuke glares. Naruto pushed Sasuke off of him. "I do know Hinata-chan better than you think…and I say if you push her in the wrong way with you're obsession with power she might just leave you" Naruto says.
"…You're wrong…you don't anything about us" Sasuke says as he turns away from Naruto and starts walking. Naruto stares at Sasuke for awhile. Naruto frowns at Sasuke and starts thinking about Hinata but he's thoughts were interrupted.
"Hey you the gawkier" The girl yelled. Both Naruto and Sasuke turned around and raised one eyebrow.
"G-Gawkier…?" Naruto repeats as he looks at the girl. Mizuki smirks. "That's my nickname for you…when we first met you kept staring at me so…I'm going to be calling you gawkier now" Mizuki smirks. Naruto frowns.
"Have you seen Sakura-chan…I've been looking for her, the forehead had ran off and left me when she saw some guy that she thought was cute or whatever" Mizuki sighs.
"No…I haven't seen her…have you Sasuke?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked at Naruto and frowned. "…Baka…" Sasuke thinks as he glares at Naruto. Mizuki looked at Sasuke and narrowed her eyes.
"This is Sasuke…? The Sasuke that I remember has black spiky hair with and arrogant aura and this guy has brown hair and well he too also has that arrogant aura about him too" Mizuki explains. Naruto laughs while Sasuke glares at the girl before them.
"…This is Sasuke he just transformed because he didn't want anyone to see him" Naruto explains. Mizuki looks at Sasuke.
"Oh…well I still don't take back what I said about him" Mizuki frowns. Sasuke frowns but the frown disappears as he looks away from her. "How is…Akira?"
Mizuki looks at him in shock. "He's fine…it will take more than that to bring him down…in fact I'm quite impressed by you're strength…you're the first person that beat Akira that badly…but I'm still angry with you for hurting him like you did" Mizuki says.
Sasuke shrugs his shoulders. "I don't care if you mad at me or not" Sasuke replied. Mizuki frowned as she and Sasuke were in a middle of a death glare contest. Naruto laughed nervously as he looked at the two.
"O-Okay you guys…I'll tell Sakura-chan that you're looking for her if we run into her" Naruto says as he pulls on Sasuke's arm pulling him away from Mizuki.
"Let go of me you dobe" Sasuke hissed. Naruto let go of him as he glared at him. "I'm going back home…" Sasuke grunted as he leaves Naruto behind. Naruto stares at him for awhile.
"…Sasuke…"
As the raven haired ninja was walking back to Hinata's apartment he started thinking about how he was going to tell Hinata that he was going to be leaving soon.
Sasuke…please don't leave…don't leave me again
Those words ranged in his head. He could stop thinking about what Hinata said in her sleep that night. He shook his head. "I can't be thinking about that…I have to go back and I can't let anyone stop me" Sasuke thought to himself as he walked inside the apartment.
It was a long day for Hinata and Sakura at the hospital helping everyone but now the day was finally over. Sakura walked towards Hinata. "Hey…Hinata-chan?"
Hinata looked at her. "Hmm?"
"…Well I saw Sasuke-kun today…" She started off. "I know he told me" The dark haired girl replied. "Oh…he did…what else did he say?" Sakura asked while blushing. Hinata looked at the pink haired girl and frowned. "He didn't say anything else…why?" Hinata asked as she narrowed her eyes. Sakura noticed her expression and decided to change her subject.
"N-Nothing…it's just that well I think Sasuke-kun might leave again" Sakura said in a sad tone. Hinata looked back up at Sakura with wide eyes. "What makes you say that?"
"….Well when I asked him was he staying he said he didn't know but the look in his eyes…" Sakura trailed off. Hinata looked away from Sakura. "Is he really going to leave me again?" Hinata thought sadly to herself.
"…Well I better get back home…" Hinata said in a whisper as she rushed out of the hospital. "Hinata-chan…" "Maybe I shouldn't have told her that" Sakura thought to herself.
Hinata walked outside alone in the dark thinking about what Sakura told her. Hinata looked around herself when she felt someone walking near her.
Hinata turned around to see no one there. "That was weird…I should hurry and get home" Hinata thought as she picked up her speed. The faster she walked the faster the person behind her followed her. Hinata ran and ran until she finally made it home. She opened her door quickly and locked the door and leaned on the door breathing hard.
Sasuke looked at Hinata. "Is everything alright?" He asked. "I-I think that s-s-someone was f-following me" Hinata stuttered as she slumped down to the floor. Sasuke walked towards her. "Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes I'm sure…I heard their footsteps behind me" Hinata said being quite mad that Sasuke didn't believe her. Sasuke looked at her and crouched down to her. "You're safe now…come on get up" Sasuke said softly as he helped her up. Hinata started walking towards the couch but stopped and turned around towards Sasuke.
"…Sasuke-kun…are you leaving again?" Hinata asked looking down at the ground. Sasuke looked at her, he couldn't see her face because her hair was covering it.
"….." he remained quiet. Hinata also remained silent before talking. "I see…why…why do you want to leave again?" Hinata asked. Sasuke looked at Hinata never turning his gaze away. "Because…I need to get stronger and I can't get stronger if I just sit around here in Konoha" Sasuke replied.
"B-But you're already strong enough" Hinata said quietly. "I'm not strong enough to defeat him…and if I want to become stronger I need Orochimaru to train me…I didn't come back here to stay I only came to see you and that's it and then I was going to leave again"
Hinata looked up at him frowning. "So you were just going to leave me alone again…you're probably not even going to come back this time" Hinata says. Sasuke frowns as he glares at her. "I will come back…stop your whining about it okay…You can't make me stay not you nor that baka Naruto no one can…I'm leaving and that's final" Sasuke retorts.
Tears came out of Hinata's eyes as she looks at Sasuke. "Fine then leave if you want…see if I care" Hinata yelled as she ran to her bedroom and shut the door.
"FINE Maybe I will leave and I won't come back seeing that you don't care…maybe while I'm gone you can marry someone else like the dobe or even Gaara and you can just forget about me…I'M LEAVING" Sasuke yells as he walks out the door slamming it. He was angry as he continued walking in the streets of Konoha.
"That Hyuuga…she gets on my nerves her and that baka. See if I care that she's crying I don't give a rat's ass…for all I care she can cry all night…if she wants me to leave I'll leave and I won't come back and then she can finally be with that baka or Gaara and I won't care one bit…" Sasuke thinks angrily to himself. "Humph I might even find myself someone who's better than her" Sasuke stops walking. "What am I thinking…Hinata is the love of my life and I just told her that I wasn't coming back…I yelled at her and told her to marry Naruto or Gaara and to forget about me" Sasuke thought sadly to himself. He wanted so badly to go back and apologize to her tell her that he was sorry but he thought that it was better off that he didn't go back.
"Maybe this is how it's supposed to be" Sasuke thought as he continued walking.
Okay well I'm finally done with chapter ten. What will happen between Sasuke and Hinata will he leave her and never come back or…will something happen to her? Well you'll know soon enough.
