Chapter Four- Battle Between Brothers
Sasuke
"Where is he?" Karin asked looking at the forest around her. She knew that there were two people in front of them, but she didn't know who they were. She didn't know where they were going, but they had to have faith in their team leader.
"An old Uchiha hideout. It was used during the clan wars," Sasuke said as he kept walking. They had gone there a few times, but that was to make sure that it hadn't fallen down. "After the village was founded, it was left alone."
The group of four stopped when they saw the blue skinned male, a shark like smile on his face. A giant white sword on his back. Sasuke had seen him before, he was with his brother when they tried to kidnap Meena.
"Only the raven is allowed past," Kashima told them pointing at Sasuke. Itachi told him to only allow Sasuke past, he knew what his teammate was planning, but there was nothing he could do to stop him.
"What?" Suigetsu said glaring at him with light purple eyes, before getting the head cutter blade from his back, he was going to kill him, but Sasuke's arm was in front of him.
"Stay here, Itachi is mine."
Meena
Sighing as she watch her two brother stare at each other. She wasn't dumb, no matter what the village believed. Meena knew that she would have to thank Kushina for the acting lessons, and telling her about her own childhood.
She knew that the two were under a genjutsu, who had casted it could be argued. Itachi could've been the one who did it, but at the same time, she didn't know Sasuke's skill in the area. She didn't know what they were doing, since only they could see it. Until Sasuke moved backwards and she knew that Itachi had pulled him into a genjutsu.
She knew Madara's and Izuna's story. Like most of history, she didn't know if it was the truth or lies being spread around by the second. History was written by the winners after all.
"I doubt that he did," she said to herself. She didn't think Madara took his younger brothers eyes, not by force or for power. It just wasn't done, not in her clan. "After all, he was his younger brother and it's said that Madara loved Izuna. So I don't believe it, not now, no ever."
Are they trying to break the building, she thought while looking at the giant lightening dragon. It made her wish her chakra natures weren't water and wind. Father would've blown a gasket.
Sasuke
He only looked at the four giant snakes in shock. He had heard Orochirama's voice while he was fighting his brother, but he tired to ignore it. He would be the one who killed Itachi, not some white skinned freak.
Itachi only smiled at him, before his Susano'o picked up a glowing orange sword. It was one of the colours that she godmother loved telling his that it was a mix of her and her boyfriend's hair. Orochimaru formed from the snake's mouth and the light of the sword was cutting into him and the mark on his brother's neck disappeared, like he was hoping it would.
Sasuke had his hand on his shoulder, looking around for the black mark that had been there since he was twelve years old. Months before he left the leaf village. Gone, like it was never there, like the mark the seal around was also gone. One that caused him pain, when Kakashi gave it him. He wasn't sure if the white haired male knew what he was doing, but he might've been the only one who could do it at the time.
Looking at his brother's Susano'o he knew slowly walked away. He didn't have a lot of chakra left, since his lightening jutsu had taken a lot out of him. Which was the reason the white snake bastard, in Meena's words, was able to come out of the seal.
Meena
Meena wanted to roll her eyes as she looked at the orange glowing figure. She was never going to be able to get away from the colour, then again, Kushina had liked the colour. Maybe that was the reason she wore it, in grief of her godmother's passing. Fugaku wasn't the fatherly type, he only cared about power, the reason they were killed. So Minato was more a father to her then he was, the same with Kushina.
She never blamed her Mum, she tried, but Fugaku wanted them to just train Itachi and so she was brushed off, it might've been the reason no one questioned her disappearance. That and many were killed that night. The Hokage had hidden her for two years, so no one would question why she wasn't a baby, when Kushina was pregnant.
"Brother," Meena whispered looking at the two of them. She didn't want to watch Itachi get killed, but she knew her older brother wanted Sasuke to kill him. So that his soul and heart might be freed from what he was forced to do. "May I see you in the afterlife, but I'm going to slap you. Hope you understand."
Sasuke
Sasuke walked closer to the destroyed wall as Itachi walked closer to him, he had tried to stab with is sword, but his Susano'o had stopped him doing so and flung him backwards, crashing into the ground where he started to go backwards.
Bleed was coming from Itachi's mouth. Still he walked closer, his steps becoming more random and messy. He was also slowing down. When he was in front of his younger brother he brought his arm and poked him in the forehead.
"Sorry Sasuke," Itachi said, like when they were children, "maybe next time, little brother." With a smile he fall foreward, his head hitting the wall before falling to the ground.
Sasuke looked at the body of his dead brother. It wasn't like he pictured, there was no sense of pride or any other emotion from gaining his vengeance, just a feeling of numbness, blank and empty. Closing his eyes, he felt blood going down his forehead and around his right eye, before he too, fell next to his older brother looking at the sky. It was like the heaven's was crying, weeping the death of the man next to him.
Keeping his eyes closed, he passed out from. He knew no more, he didn't even feel it when he was moved, trapped in memories before the masseur.
