Solace Of The Leaves

by Majestic Tiger

Naruto is alone. Aside from Old Man Hokage, Iruka, and the ANBU called Inu, the jinchuriki is hated by all. A person forgotten by all that they knew has awoken. With the malevolent eyes of the Akatsuki turned upon the jinchuriki, and a rogue Sannin out for revenge, will Konohagakure no Sato survive? Fem!Naru with a twist.

14. Chapter 13

Konoha was abuzz with the news. One of Konoha's last Uchiha had just awoken!

While Mikoto was still in a coma, young Sasuke was active again.

The Sandaime puffed on his pipe.

"So-he used a high-level genjutsu on you that required the Mangekyo?"

Sasuke nodded.

Nearby, the Sand siblings, Naruto, Cinaed, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, and Hinata stood anxiously waiting.

Sarutobi shook his head. "Very well. I shall leave all of you alone. Please remember that Sasuke must be out of the hospital by noon. Perhaps you could go to a training ground?"

"Hai!" the children chorused.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The group sat in a circle at Training Ground Seven.

Naruto started the conversation. "Sasuke...you seem too quiet. What happened?"

Sasuke sat brooding.

"SASUKE, IF YOU DON'T TELL ME, I'LL WHACK YOU 'TTEBAYO!"

He frowned. "My brother..slaughtered my family last night. Only I and Kaa-san are left..."

Cinaed shook his head."Itachi-san would not have done so without a reason. The first step should be to figure out what that reason was. His reason was absolute garbage. If he truly wanted to test the limits of his strength, would he not have done so aginst the Hokage or ANBU?"

Sasuke nodded. "That makes sense, I guess...then learning why shall be my mission! i will ask Itachi why he did such a thing!"

His friends smiled.
