Sasuke knew what he wanted now. He didn't want revenge anymore. He realized it during the battle against the ten tails – he wanted a revolution. He wants to execute the five current Kage's – destroy and rebuild. That was his new goal.
While the Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo, was talking, Sasuke cast the tailed beasts under a genjutsu. He watched as the tailed beasts made agitated sounds of agony.
"He put the tailed beasts in a genjustsu...and with a single glance too." Hogoromo muttered, impressed by how someone so young could put a genjutsu on the tailed beasts, and by a single glance, no less.
"Naruto...It has ended as I expected," he continued, "I have no choice but to leave the rest up to you. I cannot stay in this world any longer. I shall soon fade away."
"Yeah, and sorry for saying this, Six Paths Super Gramps..." Naruto rasped, "but we won't end up like your sons. I'm not Ashura," Naruto looked at Sasuke, "And Sasuke isn't Indra."
"Sasuke! Is this what your current dream is?" Kakashi intervened, shocked at where this was going. At the bottom of his heart, he knew it wasn't. His real dream was to go back to turn back time to the good old days, where he was innocent and pure, where there was no darkness in his heart, and to cherish the time he spent with Sakura. Have more moments with her. The moments he's had with her so far weren't very romantic, after all. If you call trying to kill her several times romantic.
"Are you saying you're still seeking vengeance?" Kakashi continued.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura pleaded. Sasuke never planned to tell them, but seeing Sakura's shocked face made him feel like he should. So he did.
"I admit, one time, all I wished was for destruction, and vengeance was my goal." Sasuke said. "But I feel differently now...I want to destroy and rebuild." He paused for a moment, then continued, "A village no longer shrouded with darkness. I'll reform the shinobi world. What I'm trying to say is...revolution!"
The four stared at him with disbelief. "Revolution?!" Kakashi yelled.
Hagoromo stared at the Uchiha, and his voice entered his mind. My dear Sasuke...what do you want to do? What is it that you seek in the aftermath of the war? I want to hear your honest thoughts and opinions.
Sasuke had a sudden flashback of when Sasuke told the others that he wanted to become Hokage and change the village. The Sage of the Sixth Paths sensed it.
This Hokage you speak of...what do you mean by it? Hogoromo spoke in his head.
If you want to know so badly, I'll tell you. Sasuke spoke back.
Clapping his hands together, Sasuke yelled, "Catastrophic Planetary Devastation!"
What kinda justsu is that? A gardening jutsu? Naruto wondered.
The ground began to shake like an earthquake, and the rocks on the ground arose. They stuck onto the tailed beasts and piled on them, trapping them in a rock ball.
"Naruto...It's on you!" Sasuke heard Kurama say.
"Because of this war, I've become quite adept at using my Rinnegan's abilities. And all those who were in my way are gone. Excpet for you...Naruto." Sasuke said, a hint of distaste in his voice.
The Sage of the Six Paths sighed. "Things just don't go as planned." (Yeah, fuck you, Sausage.) "When I bequeathed power to just one side, I ended up with Indra and Ashura. This time, even after entrusting power to both, the result is the same."
Sasuke frowned as Naruto yelled "No, all the sibling squabbling ends here!"
"Do you not get it? You're now the Jinchuuriki of all these tailed beasts. So, when I said I'll get rid of all of them, I'm talking about the tailed beast chakra inside you, too." Sasuke said.
"What?!" Sakura yelled. Even Hagoromo looked shocked.
"In other words, you're going to die, Naruto." He continued.
Sakura watched in horror to what was happening. Sasuke was doing it again. The real Sasuke was leaving her again. This new one, this evil, cold-hearted man made Sakura sick.
"Let's take this fight elsewhere, don't you think, Naruto?" The Uchiha sneered.
"Wait, Sasuke!" Kakashi yelled as he was leaving. He stumbled and fell on the ground.
"Sensei!" Sakura yelled in worry. The lingering aftereffects of the Sharingan... Kakashi thought.
Tears fell from Sakura's eyes as she watched Sasuke walk away from. All her life, Sakura wanted to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke. And here they were, walking away from her again. Leaving her behind.
A new anger boiled up in the pits of her stomach. She had had enough of Sasuke's nonsense. She wasn't having it. He wasn't going to leave her again...!
"I..." Sakura started.
Sasuke's eyes widened, and he stopped walking.
"I..!" Sakura started.
"I know in my heart that there's nothing I can do!" She shouted. "Even though I love you..."
Stop...
"Even though I care about you so much, Sasuke, and yet..."
"I..!" Sakura started.
"I can't get close to you or exchange blows with you."
No... Please...
"I can only whine and beg and cry like this again!"
"I..!" Sakura started.
"It's so pitiful, isn't it?"
Don't cry...
"But...but Sasuke-kun! If there's even a little corner of your heart that thinks about me, please don't leave again!"
"I..!" Sakura started.
"If we stick together, I know it can be like old times again..." Her voice trailed off, her uncontrollable tears rolling of her cheeks.
"I love you so very, very much, Sasuke!"
The Uchiha closed his eyes. What Sakura said so long ago...those words still haunted him. This...this girl. Why must her words hurt him so much? Why do they affect him?
Sakura...
"You're..." Sasuke started.
What have you done?
A bitter smile spread across his face. "...Really annoying."
...For making me fall in love with you.
