But this one might be a little bit better from normal seeing as I actually wrote this from my head to paper. So enjoy.

Don't forget to read and review I like to hear what you want to say.


Last time with Sasuke Uchiha…

"I'm leaving" he said in the same menacing tone he used earlier. Before he activated another stage to his Sharingon it caused his eyes to light up red. He punched the wall hard, causing it to crack instantly as he turned the black cape flowing shortly after him.


He pulled up his hooded cape and walked down the long corridor of Orochimaru's hide out. He smashed the many pillars that stood in his way. The walls began make a very unhealthy sound and they were beginning to crumble; He noticed this and picked up his pace so he was running almost out of Orochimaru's laree. Every time he would come in contact with someone he would just bat them away like there were a nothing. Muttering 'Useless' under his breath. But every time he met someone even bigger then him he just dodged them it was a waste of his own time and chakra to fight them. After swiftly dodging each enemy he soon made his way near the exit, and made his way out.

The hooded cape he wore covering his features, made it almost impossible to figure who he was. So every person he met had no clue who or what they were up against. This was a good thing for Sasuke seeing as he hadn't had this much of a physical work out since when he left Konoha and had a final battle with Naruto.

He reached the large door that had held him in for so long, and he didn't have any trouble knocking it down with a loud crash. . "I must be stronger" he muttered to himself smirking slightly. A few shouts were herd, yet he didn't care. they were no threat to him anymore. The warm sunlight made him feel slightly guilty for being inside for 3 long years. The outside apart from the garden seemed to be the only sunlight he got. Apart from that nothing seemed as warm. A sigh of relief came over him, at this time it finally a cured to him. He was free, free from oruchimarus grasp free from most things. but still there was one thing he could never even begin to free himself of.

Sasuke looked down to his pocket it was crowded with kunai and shirukin and one thing lie on top of all the weapons, A single cherry blossom branch. The flowers not yet in bloom, he smiled and tucked it into the top of his cape, The bright pink clashing terribly with his pale skin and of course the black cloak. It was the complete contrast of colours, yet in there own way the complimented each other. He sighed deeply before taking off in the direction of the nearest town of which he was aware of. He hoped to find out something, anything about his brother. Or the organisation at least, maybe even what country it happened to be in. or maybe the city it was near.

He picked up speed; the thought of sakura trapped in the akatsuki lare was enough to drive him to keep going even thought he was near exhaustion, Her there, Unable to escape the wrath of the most fiendish person he new, his brother. He came to a clearing, the sun had dropped making it almost 7 pm or even later nothing and no one was near his sight. Looking around the only thing that happened to be surrounding him were trees, all shapes and sizes but he couldn't see anything else for miles, in any direction. This made him feel a little relived, but at the same time quite anxious.

So he decided he'd rest for a few hours of that day. It wouldn't matter as long as he was coming for her was all that mattered, well he hoped that was all that mattered to him. His chakra was nearly out he would push himself as hard tomorrow even though he probably still would. He had used a little bit more than he wanted on oruchimarus useless guards, but he knew he probably wouldn't come across another lot of them in a little while.

He crouched by a tree looking up the sun, it was on the verge of setting. He could see it over the tree tops the faded orange colour spreading for miles. The same colour that was associated with his former team mate, his mind drifted back to life at Konoha. Peaceful, and quiet he had nothing bothering him to make him join this life of pain, apart from the curse seal that just happened to be on his neck.

It was a miracle that oruchimarus hadn't activated it even in the slightest. 'But I'm not crawling back to him ever' he thought a serge of anger running through him. He hopped to never experience such pain again after the day he got the curse mark. Yet it still happened the day he left Konoha, it was all his fault and he was in emotional pain instead of physical pain, but of course he wouldn't show anyone that. Not even sakura. A small smile grazed his lips sakura. He closed his eyes sleep taking over him.

As the faded orange slowly disappeared to the bright blue morning sky yet again, this was a complete surprised to the Uchiha who was used to looking at the same 4 walls for the last three years. Apart from a few days ago where he fell a sleep next to the cherry blossom plant. But the sky then still seemed a lot darker then it did now, The bird singing a happy tune while the tree tops swayed in the morning breeze. Sitting up he began to plan his attack on akatsuki to get sakura back. his main concern or what had been for some time now.

When he herd some rustling. It was a shock seeing as he had not sensed any chakra near him from the last few minutes which he had been awake. 'Maybe it's an animal' he thought, finding it highly doubtful that someone would come out of the bushes. Seeing he was so far from any civilisation. But then again 'he was a ninja and a ninja must do what a ninja must do'. He thought and hid his chakra from who ever was lurking in the bushed even if it might be an animal. He got up from the sitting position using the sturdy tree for some support he stood and moved swiftly behind the tree.

A glimmer of red caught his eye his eyebrows furrowed 'red? Out here you've got to be joking'. He looked over in the direction of whatever or whoever it was. They seemed to be taking there time to revile themselves to him, but thinking if it was a ninja they probably wouldn't revile themselves to him anyway. He jumped to the conclusion that it must be another ninja, A ninja like himself waiting for there opponent to make the first move. So whoever it was they were a skilled ninja or at least one with a little common sense.

It had been 3 minutes and still neither ninja had made a move or even to think about making s move either. Sasuke's patient was wearing thin and any minute he was bound to snap and just go for the kill. Sasuke began to form a jutsu his chakra being stored into his feet; it wasn't long before you could see his chakra it was clearly visible to the naked eye. But seeing as he had the Sharingon made it even easier to spot a person chakra but of course there was no chakra being emitted from his other sparer. A frustrated sigh escaped his lips.

Sasuke bounded from the tree top straight towards his target. The flash of red seemed to grow as he saw. A pair of sea green eyes staring back at him. His fists where blocked by the other. And he's smirked as he slowly began to control his chakra. "Garra" Sasuke's voice muttered the smirk growing on his face. "Uchiha" Garra muttered a sinister smirk on his face also. They both took a step back from each other. Sasuke straightening out his clock and Garra well just folded his arms and gave a normal expression the same one that he always did a disapproving unemotional face. But somehow Garra seemed… different.
