ICHIBAN – Chapter 5

-I know it took me a WHILE TO UPDATE!-

O….O

"SHARINGAN!"

Sadako watched in amazement as Sasuke's eyes turned into the feared red eyes of the Sharingan. The eyes themselves not only gave her tingles down her spine, it also sent her fearing….

For her life….

No sooner did he release the full Sharingan, Sasuke attacked with full force. He ambushed Sadako from behind her, sending a Kunai flying into her shoulder. She stumbled and turned around, glaring at the Uchiha behind her.

"You…you think you can beat me that easily?" she yelled as Sasuke began to walk forward. Sadako's eyes widened as her fears rose to new levels. The Uchiha smirked before reaching her, kicking her face and sending her flying into a tree. Sadako couldn't move as Sasuke started walking over to her. She was frightened, afraid to die…

No… I don't want to die here…not here….NOT BY THIS HUMAN!

Sasuke stopped in his tracks when he felt a terrible Chakra from nearby. He looked to find that it was Sadako, her face covered in a hollow expression. This is her true power! , thought Sasuke as he watched her release her full power. The cursed lines on her face appeared and her emotionless face turned into that of pure anger…

"You think you can kill me…."? She whispered as she looked up at Sasuke, shaking as she started to stand up. "YOU WILL NOT KILL ME FOR I AM…" She stopped when she felt a sharp blade pierce her stomach. Sasuke had made his move before anything was to happen.

"I am not ready to die in the hands of a demon yet…." Sasuke whispered as Sadako screamed, before dispersing into dust and soot. Sasuke looked down at Sadako's remains before turning to walk away.

Naruto… You will not fall from grace…

O…O

There were 3 lights that existed in Aoi's cave. Blue, red and pink were their colours. They were the life forms of her servants. Aoi looked at the wall and saw that the Blue one had lost its light, which meant only one thing…

Sadako has been killed..? Her opponent is no ordinary man….

She turned to where Yamamura and Kinamori were sleeping. She knew that they would sense Sadako's departure. Kinamori sat up at that moment, her tears as clear as day.

"Sadako-sama is gone…isn't she…" Kinamori said as the silhouette nodded in sadness. Yamamura slowly opened his eyes, reaching out for his little sister and hugging her as she cried. His face was twisted with sadness, as well as a burning for vengeance.

So Yamamura, Kinamori. You want to claim vengeance for the death of Sadako, don't you? The twins nodded as they stood up, faces determined. You must protect Naruto-sama from being taken away by the very people that will hurt him. For the revolution of the world, you MUST protect him. The twins nodded in agreement as they bowed to the silhouette.

"Yes Lady Aoi, we will do as you command," the twins saluted as Aoi dispersed to the pod where the Jinchuuriki was being held captive. Hinamori and Yamamura stood up, holding their hands out. Sparks appeared and two swords were born from the sparks.

"So Kina-chan, are you ready to fight?" Yamamura turned to his sister, who was wiping her tears away.

"Yes Yama-onii," the twin sister nodded as she turned to her brother, hugging him before both the twins disappeared into the shadows.

O…O

Sasuke continued towards the entry of the forbidden forest, inching closer to the end of the path. He sat down to rest, feeling the growing hunger pains in his stomach. He looked around and noticed that there were some mushrooms near a pine tree.

Why do those mushrooms look familiar? Sasuke wondered as he walked up to the pine tree and carefully plucked the mushrooms from the tree. He collected firewood and leaves, placing them gently on the ground before using a fire jutsu to start the fire.

As he started cooking the mushrooms he was continuously thinking why the mushrooms were so familiar. The mushrooms, that were yellow and green in colour, turned into a nice brown colour. Sasuke nodded to himself, confirming to himself that they were cooked enough. He took one from the fire and bit into it. A fruity flavour was emitted from the mushroom, but it was at that point that Sasuke REMEMBERED the mushrooms…

3 years ago

Kakashi walked his students around the forest, pointing out all the flora and fauna in the vicinity. Naruto was busy reading a comic while Sakura was gazing at Sasuke. Sasuke on the other hand, was busy gazing at a spaced out Naruto. He spotted some unfamiliar mushrooms and decided to enquire about them.

"Kakashi-sensei, what kind of mushrooms are these?" Sasuke asked, pointing at the vegetable. Kakashi looked at where Sasuke was pointing at, before clearing his throat.

"Those are called Shinso Mushrooms, Sasuke," Kakashi said as he neared the plant. "Now you can eat these raw and they do nothing, however when cooked…." Sasuke's eyebrow raised as Kakashi stopped.

"If you cook them, what happens?" Naruto enquired as he saw the look on Kakashi's face, a faint blush appearing from nowhere.

"If you cook them, a fruity taste is ejected from the mushroom, however the flavouring and the liquid causing it is actually quite potent, and it will send hallucinations to the one who eats the mushroom…"

O…O

As Sasuke remembered this information, he felt his head spin.

"OH Shit….." He murmured as he started giggling. His giggling turned into fits of laughter as the surrounding area turned into a bright array of colours. He laughed as the coloured swirled about moved before his eyes. He stumbled around the place, running into trees, rocks, and all sorts of objects. He ran into a bear, but instead of running or fighting, he laughed at the bear, because in Sasuke's eyes the animal looked more like a marshmallow than a beast.

"Ahahahaaaa….Marshallow…." Sasuke murmured as he walked on, even stunning the bear from attacking Sasuke.

The Uchiha walked on in a daze for the entirety of the afternoon, before falling onto the crimson ground (that's what was going on in his head). He looked out at what he thought was a lake. The colour of the lake reminded him of Naruto, the one person who would never give up trying to gain his acknowledgement, his attention.

But he gained more from Sasuke than the Jinchuuriki even realised, he earned Sasuke's love and adoration, though the Uchiha himself would not admit it openly.

"Naruto…. I did acknowledge you….I did love you… I wanted you, but I never admitted it, never…." Sasuke sulked as he started to cry, a major effect of the mushrooms. He felt his head get heavy and he slowly drooped to the ground where his eyes became heavy with fatigue and sadness. As he dosed off to sleep he saw a figure emerge in the middle of the lake. It was Naruto.

Naruto….I will always love you….

O…O

Sasuke, in a drowsy state, slowly woke up to the sounds of birds singing in the distant trees, the smell of the fresh morning breeze and the sound of two harsh voices.

"Ready to die…?"

Sasuke's eyes flew open to find two figures looming over him.

"We are the twins Yamamura and Kinamori. For the sake of Sadako and Lady Aoi, we will kill you!" Sasuke just stood up, although his legs were slightly shaky, he was able to stand up straight.

" I have a slight headache so I would like to make this fight quick," Sasuke said as he pulled out his kunai, ready for battle.

O…O

Aoi watched as she opened the pod, a red glow showing the silhouette that the process of fusion was complete. Aoi opened the capsule and from its shell came a demon that looked as though he were human, his eyes glowng a bright, piercing red. From his back were 9 red tails. On his head were two ears that showed that he was a demon. The silhouette floated towards the demon, offering her hand to the beast.

Are you ready for the new revolution of the world? The silhouette spoke as the demon spoke.

"Yes, I am ready for the revolution," he said as Aoi pulled the demon towards her.

Then you are ready to create a new world...Naruto-sama….
