Chapter 14

"Jail Break"

"Flies aren't my favourite, I prefer chicken." Joshed Sakura removing her hand, Reain nodded going along with the act.

"Well a chicken is always good once in a while, but the flies will get lonely. Dontcha think?" Offering his suggestion, Reain awaited Sakura's response.

"If they didn't want to be caught, do you really think they'll miss me?" Crossing her arms and shifting her weight, Sakura glanced into his eyes while he starred intensely back.

"Only if your gone for to long, Miss. Sakura."

A fierce warmth wrapped it's self around Sakura's cheeks, and the pinket could tell that she turned a bright red to confirm the heat on her face.

"I think I'll be going now, you have a good night Miss. Sakura." Smiling a bright smile of full white teeth, Sakura nodded and Reain entered the bathroom leaving Sakura standing outside the door.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

Purplish walls, porcelain furnishing and a large mirror. The man grasped the counter top, leaning over the basin after splashing his face with the tap's water. Smirking smugly back at his reflection, his dark black hair covered his demonic eyes while they glinted a dark brown.

"This is going to be to easy." He chuckled.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

"Don't be so high and mighty, who made you boss anyway?" Crossing her arms and jutting out her hip, Karin glared a scowl plastered on her scrunched face.

"We all agreed on it Karin." Drawled Suigetsu monotoned, taking a sip from his water bottle and leaning back against the wall.

"I take my vote back then!" Screeched Karin stomping her foot, Suigetsu groaned while Juugo turned a page in his book ignoring the two.

"Then who do you think should be the leader then!" Growled Suigetsu, whipping his head over and finally looking over at the annoying red head.

"My precious Sasuke-kun should be! He's a born leader!" She stated.

"You've only known him for three hours!" Outraged, Suigetsu uncrossed his leg getting ready to kick that ugly face in.

Bending forwards, she yelled "Yeah, and I was able to notice it in that amount of time! Shows what you know!" Clutching her fists and locking her jaw, Suigetsu rolled his eyes at Karin.

Suigetsu sighed, looking away. "Juugo can you open the door?"

"HEY! Don't ignore me!"

Flashing his eyes back over and glaring. "Shut up loud mouth!" Karin glared back

"SLIMY FISH!" Turning back to Karin's finger pointing at his head, Suigetsu hissed.

"BITCH!" He yelled back, taking a heated breath afterwards.

"... You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing?" Karin smirked back at the boiling Suigetsu.

Breathing again, Suigetsu attempted at calming down talking exasperated as he rubbed his face. "Someone kill her, right now. Just do it somebody. Oh fuck this, I'll do it myself!" Yelling the last part he stalked towards the red head that was laughing nervously.

"Stay back!" Defending herself, Karin held out a hand scrunching her fingers wanting to punch something from his threat.

"Or what, you'll shred me with your devil claws?" Taunted Suigetsu, getting closer to the once again angered Karin.

"AH!" Pouncing and aiming for the face, Suigetsu steadied himself pushing against her forehead with one palm as the other hand grabbed at her hair. Kicking his shin and yanking forward his head by the hair, Suigetsu tried to block against her leg with his one of his own.

"It's open." Both stopped their attacks, Juugo watched the two while leaning against the frame of the cell door.

"Bitch first." Offered Suigetsu, signaling towards the door. Still holding onto his water bottle, and dropping her hair from his grasp as she did the same.

Karin snorted, waltzing out of the room head held high, with the two boys following in behind.

Suigetsu looked over at Juugo, raising an eye brow. "Karin, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to rescue Sasuke-kun." Karin stated proudly, ignoring the chuckle from Suigetsu.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

"Really! When did she go?" Slurping down his favourite Pork Ramen, Naruto nibbled on the end of his chop stick awaiting another bowl.

"Oh, well I'd have to say sometime around two days ago. Long travel for such a thing though." Teuchi, the owner of Ichiraku sighed, passing the young boy another bowl and scratching at the side of his head subconsciously.

"It's probably been lonely here without her." Slightly concerned, Naruto frowned staring concentrated at the Udon noodles sitting in the authentic Ramen bowl.

"There are times, but she's a big girl now." Looking up into his black eyes, a grin slowly made its way onto the blond's face. "I want her to take those opportunities." Teuchi smiled widely at Naruto, who returned the smile just as bright.

Teuchi patted his belly that was covered with a soup stained apron, gray hair supported a white hat. Wrinkles creased his face as crow's feet signaled his aging; Naruto admired the man.

"Well I don't see why-Ah-h! Oi, Shikamaru! Over HERE!" Noticing the lazy Nara man, Naruto patted the counter smiling at his friend.

"Yo." Shikamaru waved two fingers slowly, taking a seat next to the hyper active blond and unfolding his hands from his school uniform pockets.

"Anou, anou Shikamaru." Lifting a brown brow, the Nara leaned against his hand while his elbow rested on the counter, watching Naruto questioningly. "Have you heard anything about Sasuke?" Naruto's smile faltered when the pineapple head looked down at the counter, ignoring Naruto's dimming baby blue eyes. "... I see."

"Anything for you?" Teuchi asked Shikamaru over the counter, giving a quick glance at Naruto's still full bowl, his brow creasing worriedly.

"I'm fine old man." Grumbled Shikamaru, Teuchi belted out an old laugh rising a smile to the two boy's faces.

"I might be old, but your still very young." Shikamaru quirked a smile. "Why don't you try cheering up a little bit, you kids haven't seen the things that should make you frown yet." Teuchi placed down a bowl in front of Shikamaru, making the boy grin as he snapped apart a pair of chopsticks. "It's on the house."

"Thanks."

"So Naruto, what's up with Sasuke now a days? I haven't seen him around with pinkie as of lately." Naruto stopped short of gulping down some noddles, and instead went for playing with a white and pink pointy fish cake in the dish.

"Sakura has gone to visit a friend in Tokyo, and, Sasuke... he's... he disappeared." A grim shadow washed over Naruto's face, and jumped suddenly when a hand landed on his head.

"He'll be fine, Sasuke's a strong boy." Iruka sighed from behind Naruto, running his hand through Naruto's blond spikes trying to comfort the boy.

"IRUKA!" Joyfully, Naruto leaned his head back smiling at the man. Iruka smiled back, removing his hand and sitting on the other side of Naruto.

"Good morning Teuchi, Shikamaru." Both nodded back at the brunette. "Naruto." Naruto frantically nodded his head while smiling.

"Morning!" He bubbled, Iruka chuckled ordering his own bowl of Ramen.

"Staying out of trouble, Naruto..." Tilting his head the blond pointed to his uniform, Iruka nodded.

"Don't worry about that Iruka, the school is starting an off campus lunch hour. Sasuke would of loved that, he would finally be able to get away from his fan girls..." His smile dying, Naruto sucked on his chop sticks before whipping them out from his mouth, and repeating the action.

Iruka glanced at Shikamaru, the boy sounded his response. "Ah."

"Oh, I did call them though!" Chirped Naruto, scratching the back of his head.

Shikamaru dropped his chop sticks accidentally, picking them up quickly. "Who?" Naruto hadn't noticed the Nara's nervous frown.

"Sakura!... But she was asleep when I called, so I got to talk to this girl named Hinata. She was really nice, and had a quiet voice." Naruto pondered, slurping down his noodles at his normal speed now.

"... You don't mean Hinata, Hyuga Hinata? The heiress to the Hyuga clan." Spoke Shikamaru, this caught Iruka and Teuchi's attention.

"Yep, yep!"

"Oh Kami." Groaned Shikamaru, pinching the bridge of his nose. The other two men sighed.

"We talked all night, and by that time Sakura was still not awake, so I told Hinata I'd call back... But I forgot to ask the number from Neji..." Sighing and finishing off his fifth bowl of the morning, Naruto clunked the bowl down on the counter. "And all I have to do is find Neji now."

Teuchi placed down another bowl as Naruto started at it, messily slurping the chashuu ramen (Chashuu is roasted pork fillet).

"Neji and Tenten left for Tokyo last night, I ran into them when I was walking back from Ino's." There was silence, except for the sounds of Naruto choking on his Ramen. Looking up Naruto starred at the boy, squinting his eyes.

"That's it!" Hopping off his seat, everyone was startled as Naruto's voice boomed inside the small shack. "I'm going to Tokyo! And nothing you say can stop me!" Walking off, head held high, Shikamaru chuckled.

"Are you going to finish your Ramen? If not, can I-" Hollered Iruka, interrupted by Naruto's dash back to the shack and his wailing cry.

"-Noooooooo!"

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

"So, why exactly are you here Sakoui?" Sitting down, Sakura watched the other two do the same.

"Sakura..." Started Sakoui, starring sternly at his sister. The atmosphere had changed, and Sakura wiggled nervously in her seat. "Have you ever heard of the 'Shouten' gang?"

(Flashback: Shouten Gang)

"Um, no." Sakura sweat dropped, didn't Shouten mean 'death'. What an appropriate name... or did he mean 'Fujishiro Shouten'... but why would he talk about a fruit and vegetable delivery service. Or maybe YOSHIDA Shouten, that online Super Store? Or maybe he's talking about a yojijukugo, the words you put together with the letter's from the alphabet that have different meanings? Snapping out of her thoughts, Sakura starred back at her older brother.

"Well, the Shouten gang is said to be a very dangerous group made up of delinquents from the area." Sakura nodded, Sakoui's face was firm as the corners of Sakura's lips threatened to bend down.

"You mean just in Chiyoda?" She asked, Sakoui grimaced. Straighting out her dress while she sat, fidgeting, Ayame listened carefully.

"No, not just Chiyoda. But also from Setagaya, Minato and all the way to Shinjuku. But the group originated from 'The Kingdom of Shouten' in the East Pacific, which is surprising since Shouten's crime in youth is totally unknown thanks to the all-pervasive police force there" The atmosphere was slowly bending towards a heavier feel, leaving everybody unconformable.

"Okay... is it just those places then? Well that's just great." Implying sarcastically, Sakura rolled her green eyes.

Sakoui sighed. "... No. They come from all over Tokyo." He gritted, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"So, what's the big deal about a city gang. Nothing new there." Feeling the cold sweat at the base of her neck, Sakura rubbed the sweat away scratching the other hand up and down her leg nervously.

"Sakura, I'm being serious." That shut her up before she could gasp an ignorant response, still feeling unnerved. "Right now they are at large in the Red Light District in Minato."

"Once again, I don't see why this involves... us. What did you do this time?" Sakura lifted her brows, glaring over at the red head.

"That's not important right now, but what is, is making sure you're safe." Poised Sakoui, holding out his hand in a calming matter.

"Wait, what? Are we being targeted?" Sakura freaked, jumping up from her seat tussling her pink locks in between her finger as she scrunched up her already bed head.

"Stop interrupting!" Sakura flinched back at Sakoui's outburst, sitting back down. "Like I was saying-"

"-Sakoui. Let me do the rest." Patting his hand Ayame smiled worriedly, Sakoui took a breath running his free hand over his face. "Well you see Sakura, most city kids either have... how do I put it. Um, poor connections, or really good ones." Sakura nodded over at the girl, understandingly. "The Shouten gang is filled with people who have really high connections with the people in power, or they already have power themselves. Thus making it very dangerous to even get near, since they pull the strings throughout the most controlling companies in Tokyo. Gathering lots of information faster and easier, with even more support, away from unwanted... eyes."

"What kind of thing did Sakoui do?" Sakura glared over at her brother, turning on the hyperventilation suddenly as she fanned herself with her hands, fighting for air.

"Um..." Drawled Sakoui looking over at Ayame as she looked back at him, both turning to watch the hysterical pinket.

"Anyways how do you know all these things, and why are you telling me!"

(Flashback END)

Groaning and slamming her forehead down on the desk, Sakura grumbled under her breath. Sakoui had just got them into a hole lot of trouble that they really didn't need... Not noticing the fact that she had just caught the undivided attention of the entire class.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

"Sasuke-kun? Where are you?-Oh god damn, slut, hooker-" Karin stumbled, creating a rather loud clatter rang throughout the dark damp halls.

"-Those are appropriate words for you Karin, but I would of added in bitch as well." Scoffed Suigetsu, stopping beside Juugo as Karin caught herself against the wall.

"Go to hell." She hissed, brushing the dirt from her ivory shirt and sauntering forwards.

"Why would I want to spend more time with you?" His voice was clipped, Karin glared.

"... What?" She asked, turning her head towards the smirking annoyance as he sipped from the water bottle.

"Heh." Suigetsu chuckled, whispering under his breath. "Stupid bitch." Karin turned and sped up her pace, clenching her fists at her sides stumbling once again.

"Ugh!"

"Problem Karin?" Juugo looked back, seeing nothing but darkness. Eyes laying back on the hardly lighted hallway, the light streaming in through the small windows in each cell.

"I keep on tripping on something." She muttered, Juugo gazed at the floor with interest.

"Are you sure it's not just your big feet?" Suggested Suigetsu.

"Positive." Grimaced Karin, un-clenching her jaw and breathing out a shaken breath.

"We need a light." Juugo looked around once again, only to find them still utterly alone in the dark.

"No." She strained. "We need to go save Sasuke-kun." Walking forwards again only to stumble, turning her foot in another direction, Karin fell face first. Juugo had shuffled over, sliding his feet over the ground so he wouldn't step on anything in the dark.

"Ouch." Mumbled the red head from the ground, Juugo helping her sit up he looked at the darkened floor.

"... There's something there." Swiveling his head to scan the ground, Karin snorted.

"No shit sherlock." Groaned the girl, standing with Juugo. Suigetsu moved over, tapping his foot around on the floor only to have it nudge against something.

"Why isn't there anyone guarding this place anyway?" Juugo mentioned, looking around again and nervously running a hand through his orange spikes.

Karin nodded in the dark, forgetting the fact that Juugo couldn't see her. "Hum, that seems weird doesn't it-"

"-Over here." Reaching for whatever it was, Suigetsu lifted the object that was apparently really heavy. Grunting as he lifted, gasping a little when he noticed that it was taller than him. Juugo reached over to help, they hauled, dragging it across the floor to lean against the wall where the light reflected.

"... Oh my."

"... Fucking."

"Woof."

"... The hell?" Karin muttered, raising an eye brow in question as she glanced at Suigetsu. Juugo just stared, slightly amused, at Suigetsu; using the little amount of light the window gave off.

"Sorry, couldn't resist." Smiling cheekily, Suigetsu hummed to himself as Karin rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." She grumbled, leaning away disgusted as Juugo placed his finger against the man's pulse.

"He's just unconscious." Juugo breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly shrieking, and startling both of the boys, Karin bolted down towards the other cells. "SASUKE-KUN!" Screaming when she tripped, a thudding sound vibrated off the walls.

Sucking on the straw to his water, Suigetsu exhaled heavily. "Crazy assed bitch." He muttered, following after the red head with the large boy trailing behind, leaving the unconscious man to fall to the ground.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

The bell had already rang and students sauntered past in the hallways. Pushing through the crowds of teenagers, and towards the outside world. Shifting out of the way and slipping into the girls washroom, Sakura sighed exhaustedly.

Class was boring, the homework was loaded, and Sakura really needed a way to get Sasuke off her mind. The stress was pulling on her, wavering her mind and letting out multiple yawns during the day.

Droplets pooled down her cheeks from the handful of water she had splashed her face with, tucking the damp hair back behind her ears. Coral orbs dulled from lack of sleep, rimmed with red and purplish bags that had been blended in with concealer to fade the abnormal color.

"It's been two days... hes been missing for two days..." An image of Sasuke's face flashed through her mind, squeezing her eyes shut Sakura willed the tears away. Every night since Sasuke has been gone Sakura cried herself to sleep, sometimes suddenly awaking in the middle of the night in the guest room with dried tears staining her face and pillow.

Grimacing into the mirror, Sakura smeared the excess water from her face, stepping back and adjusting the short black skirt.

There was still two more classes in the day, and Sakura did not feel up to participating any of them. Hardly concentrating in English and Math Sakura tried to busy herself with the assigned homework, but instead ended up doodling along the margins of the papers.

"I feel like shit." Cursing out loud, Sakura's eyes widened when a clicking sound rang out against the tiled walls.

The reflection in the mirror revealed a girl, opening one of the stall doors wider she stepped out. Carrying out with her a black and red shoulder bag, cowering her face beneath the thick black fringe and slowly shuffling towards one of the sinks.

"Ah..." Sakura watched stunned as the girl ignored her, hurriedly washing her hands. "Hi." Mentally hitting herself repetitively inside her head, Sakura played with a strand of hair.

"Kazuma Kawai." A pale slender hand was held up to the frozen gaping Sakura. Taking it in her own, Sakura shook the girls hand slowly.

"Haruno Sakura." Offered Sakura, dropping the hand and watching as Kawai nodded her head.

"Bye Haruno-san." Exiting the washroom, Sakura tilted her head bringing her hand to slowly wave at the closing door.

"Bye?" Sakura mumbled, looking back over to the empty stall then back over to the mirrors where she could make out the confusion etched on her own features.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

"Do you really think they're ready, after all they're just kids?" Placing down the knife next to the crisp white plate, nearly clear of the food that had decorated it before; sun illuminated both solemn faces.

"Maybe. But those three... they always find a way back to each other." Slouching his shoulders and scratching his chin, jade eyes scanned the cluttered streets from the high pane glass window.

"You have such confidence in them." Leaning back against the wooden chair, she slowly let out a soft sigh. A small smile grew on her face as she listened to her lovers words.

"Of course I do, I practically raised them... even that Uchiha brat."

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

"That was brutal like the Titanic!" Takara heaved ruggedly slouching her small body against the gym walls, long black hair pulled from her face with a headband that was always in her hair. The school's gym uniform of a plain white t-shirt and small shorts, stuck to her skin.

"It wasn't that bad!" Cracking open one green eye, Takara spotted the older girl. Attractive features that reflected well with her tomboyish appearance, and the black eyes that were presently looking back into hers.

"Declared by Matsurugi Noriko herself." Groaned Takara, making a face as she leaned away from the wall to stretch, hearing the satisfying crack of her knuckles.

"Oh shut it, Takara!" Noriko agitatedly sighed, looking around to watch the other exhausted girls in the gym stretch as well. Fumbling with the school's whistle between her fingers, Noriko placed a hand on her own curvy waist turning back to the Soama girl.

"Make me anime freak." Chirped Takara, sticking out her tongue and pulling down one of her bottom eye lids as an anime reference.

Noriko's smile turned into a frown as she grasped the whistle tightly in her palm, the senior took in a huffed breath.

"I didn't know bulls could speak!" Stated Noriko, noticing the girls dispatch of stretching and acting on the favor for talking amongst themselves.

"Get over here shorty!" Growling and jumping over one of the frightened girls sitting, Takara raced after the now swerving girl. Attempting to grasp Noriko's white t-shirt, while running around her classmates.

"Sorry, I can't see you beneath your horns!" Snickered Noriko, still dodging through the younger junior girls for escape from the raged Takara.

"Noriko!" Suddenly halting in front of a taller pink haired girl, Noriko smiled at the junior.

"Yes?" She rushed.

"Anko is coming." Pointing over towards the gym doors, Sakura could slightly see Anko's silhouette through the small windows. Fidgeting with her own slick sweaty outfit damp from the many laps Anko had ordered them to run, Sakura watched Noriko.

"Thanks!" Quickly blowing the whistle attached around her neck, all the girls quieted, separating from each other.

"Alright!" Bellowed Anko as she smashed open the gym doors, making the girls jump. "Let's get this over with-" A screeched interrupted Anko as two more screams were added in. A tumble to the floor sent vibration through the ground, as some of the girls gasped in worry or shock, the others screamed.

Moaning in pain as they hit the floor, Takara had rammed into Noriko, who had accidentally pushed Sakura to the ground, as they all landed in a heap on top of each other.

"SOAMA! HARUNO! DETENTION! MATSURUGI! MY OFFICE! NOW!" Everybody cringed back from Anko's shrill voice.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

"How's the progress going?" Stepping into the concrete room, the lone bare light hanging from the roof only on the cord. The metal round table supporting a set of wooden chairs sat in the center of the room, a broken mirror and sink were hardly attached to the wall over in a darkened corner with a trash bin in the other. The paint was chipped and rust was everywhere on the sink, and the only thing remotely new in the room was the deck of cards stacked on the table.

"Heh. I'll have that bitch eating out of my hands soon enough." Slapping his hands on top of the empty chair, light illuminated to the height of his chin. The rest remained pitch black.

"Make it happen soon, Leader is getting impatient." Only hands were seen, as they shuffled through the cards. Pulling out a card from the deck and laying it down on the table face up, showing the number 9.

The man smirked, pulling on the black wig over his own short spiky red hair. Adjusting the brown contacts over his pitch black orbs, the man smirked. Crushing the pop can in his bare hand then chucking it across the room, it landing squarely in the the trash bin.

"Soon enough." He chuckled darkly, flashing the badly lit cracked mirror a sickening white smile.

*~*~xXxXx~*~*

The screams that echoed outside the walls had silenced, the sickening gurgle of overflowing blood and silent cries of pain. Death wafted the air, stinging the senses with an empty feeling of despair. The red eyes starring menacingly back at him... the red eyes crying thick trails of blood...

Tilting his head over towards the cell door, blinking away sleeps haze Sasuke steadied his awaking eyes to the door listening to the clicking of a lock. Creaking the slab of metal open, nothing but darkness was left.

He remained sitting, his right knee brought up to rest his outstretched arm on. The left hand resting on top of a folded leg hidden away under the opposite leg, eyes blankly starring at the wall across from him.

"Who are you guys?" Flickering his eyes over to the opened cell door, he could hear the tension spark in the air. Walking into the room, light from the small cell window set to their features.

"The Four Sounds." One of them replied, a smirk set to his face. "I'm Kidoumaru of Toumon." Brown hair tied back in a tight pony tail, Kidoumaru kept his gaze of small beady black eyes pinned to the Uchiha.

"Same. I'm Sakon of Seimon. This is my brother Ukon." Both boys have the same dark bluish-gray hair with long bangs that covered one eye. Each of the twins wore turquoise lipstick, and brown eyeliner. Ukon's face slightly tilted down with a smirk shown, while Sakon stood beside him fingering the dark-red beaded necklace hanging from around his neck.

"Same. I'm Jiroubou of Nanmon." An orange Mohawk stretched down the middle of his rather large head and above his ears. His large build of fat and muscle added to his size, with light brown eyes that squinted down at Sasuke.

"Same. I'm Tayuya of Hokumon." A glare of dark brown eyes were set on the her own rough face. Mid-back lengthened spiky red hair, with a long shredded wisp of fringe dangling between her eyes from under a black toque.

Sasuke stayed now standing and starring back at all five figures, heaving an intake of breath suddenly when they pounced. Kidoumaru went in for a punch which Sasuke deflected it, jumping onto his back as he back kicked Sakon in the chest. The boy smashed into his twin, and against the wall. Still pressing down on Kidoumaru's back, Jiroubou sent a fist forwards which Sasuke grabbed. Pulling Kidoumaru up by his shirt, he flung both boys to the side sending them flying into the other two.

Looking around the dark room Sasuke gasped in shock, all five of them now stood behind him, unharmed. Not noticing when they had made their way over there, Sasuke turned his head and glared. "I'm in a bad mood right now. If you want to fight, I won't hold back."

Sakon smirked widely. "Don't talk big, weakling." Sasuke turned towards them. "Well, come on." Taunted Sakon, curling his finger forwards in a gesture.

"Stop." Sakon paused as Tayuya stepped forwards. "Come with us. That way... Orochimaru-sama will give you powers. It's pointless if we force you to come. You must decide." She clipped, Sasuke's glare didn't falter.

"Orochimaru-sama sure gave us a troublesome job. So, what's it gonna to be?" Monotoned Sakon, smugly looking back at the tensed Uchiha.

"You comin'? Or not? Make it clear." Ukon snapped, brushing back some hair. Sasuke remained still, glaring at the five with an agitated face.

"I feel like killing this weakling for being so hesitant." Sighed Sakon, rolling one of the dark-red beads from his necklace between his fingers.

"Try it." Growled Sasuke, clenching a closed fist. These people were really starting to get on his nerves.

"In order to gain something, you must throw something away. What is your purpose? Is it to stay in this joyful village and lick each other's wounds? And then forget everything... about Uchiha Itachi?" Black orbs snapped over to Tayuya's dark brown ones, she smirked.

"What about Itachi?" Sasuke hissed.

"What? You haven't heard?" Whipping his head to the side, Sasuke starred at Sakon. Running through the knowledge he had of Itachi...

"He's alive." Sasuke's eyes widened, with his mouth opened slightly in frozen shock. Thoughts ran in his head cleared out at this new bit of information, his mind was empty except for one hysterical voice ringing from his self conscious.

Uchiha Itachi... Itachi... his own brother... was alive? But he saw it with his own eyes, the suicide, the smell of death caked the air, the dry blood stains that still haunt the north unit of the Uchiha house. Those can't be fake... Itachi can't be...

"This place is nothing more than a shackle." Listening to Tayuya's words, Sasuke pushed the voice away... "You should just break such worthless bonds. That way... you will be able to gain an even greater power." Crossing her arms, Tayuya watched the Uchiha struggle.

With this aspect dawning on Sasuke of his very own brother that had committed suicide... Itachi was actually alive... and has been for some years now. He had Sasuke believe that the death of his whole family wasn't on purpose... he had left him alone to believe such lies. There was something behind those lies, that had him tell himself one thing...

"... I'll kill him."

Revenge.
