Chapter 4 – The Aftermath and the Bond
The Next Day…
Konoha- Hokage's Office, 12:30 p.m.
'Uchiha Sasuke – Age 7; Status: Alive but is under psychological stress. His right eye has been surgically removed due to the extensive damage inflicted upon it. We recommend taking him to a psychiatrist in three days for therapy. We need those three days for him to recover from surgery.
Uchiha Itachi- Age 13; Status: Alive but is currently suffering from Survivor's guilt leading him into a depression spike. Our mental experts have glimpse into his mind and have seen many thoughts toward suicide. We currently have him in chakra restraints due to the fact that he has already attempted to kill himself several times now today, not to mention the three other times last night when he came around. He will be put on Anti-depressants as soon as possible.
Ryatsu- Age 7; Status: Alive but is also under immense psychological stress. We haven't been able to do anything yet, since his "pet" snake has been threatening to strike anyone who gets close to him, However we have seen a woman laying next to his bed, crying the other night. He will be sent to therapy with Sasuke as well.
Signed,
Sakuya Saito
Head of Medical Staff'
The Hokage he layed down the medical report. It was a sad day for Konoha. One of its most prestigious families, in one night, was erased from this plan of existence.
The horrors that were witnessed there caused some of the most hardened of shinobi to almost call for their resignation, some of them did.
"Hokage-Sama…if you're ready, I'd like to give you my report" The Anbu behind him said sadly.
"Go ahead Kakashi-San"
"As you know the Massacure occurred from 7:00 to 7:30p.m., October 12th. We found several corpses in gray camouflage; we believe these were the assassins. We don't know where they are from, seeing as they had no identification on them."
"I see…you are dismissed then"
Kakashi nodded and turned to walk out of the office, leaving his mask on the desk. The Hokage saw the mask and grabbed it, a note dropped out from beneath it.
'I quit' the note simply read, but its message was very clear.
"I might as well head to the hospital and see how those three are" Sarutobi said in a sad tone, "For whatever good that will accomplish."
He got up and started to head towards the hospital, leaving his pipe behind.
Two Years Later…
Konoha- Ninja Academy, 3:45p.m.
Ryatsu walked out of the academy, a gentle smile grew on his face. His first day at school was ok, albeit a bit boring. He glanced down to his wrist to see Jenara sleeping around it. The snake demon was lulled to sleep due to the lecture. He felt a hand land on his shoulder. He jumped as he turned to the person who did
"Are you still spacing out, Ryatsu-san?" Sasuke joked; an amused smile crossed his face.
"Very funny Sasuke, how's your depth perception doing ya?" Ryatsu replied back, earning a slight scowl from the Uchiha boy; however the two ended up laughing at the jokes.
Sasuke had changed a lot since the massacure. Sure he now wore an eye patch over his right socket. The spoiled, arrogant child he used to be died that night and over the years of being with Ryatsu in thearapy, the two become close friends, almost brothers.
"I wonder how Itachi-San is doing."
"Knowing Ni-San…He probably is still trying to find information on the assasins that night…It that or he is trying to find another way around his meds"
The two remained silent when Sasuke mentioned "that night". Itachi was never the same after that. His smile was always sad; he was always looking for the killers' identity. What made things worse was his suicidal tendencies, constantly trying to kill himself, taking the most suicidal missions possible.
"We might as well go and find him then."
Sasuke nodded, the two ran off to find him. Little did they know that a certain blond shinobi overheard everything.
'I wonder what they are up too.' Naruto thought as he tailed after them silently.
He was always curious about those two. They always kept to themselves, never bothering others; always having conversations with that snake of Ryatsu. He figured if he followed them now, He may find out about them.
