A/N: So slightly longer chapter today :) Quick note for anyone who hasn't read the new manga chapter there is a small spoiler in here.
The cave was deadly silent, each man in the cave had become rigid their eyes carefully observing the smirking man in front of them. Curling his hands into tight balls, sasuke could feel his heart racing waiting for Obito to pounce and as if on cue Obito moved his head towards the young Uchiha. "Sasuke such a shame you decided to betray me, there was so much hope for you. I could have given you a peaceful life with your family. I assume you have seen them whilst snooping around, tell me was it painfully seeing your family enjoying their life without you…" The man sneered, before he dodged an attack from a provoked Sasuke whose eyes were spinning dangerously.
"Shut your fucking mouth, I'd rather my family be dead than in your sick game. I was never on your side; you were simply helping me with my revenge." Sasuke tried to control his temper his shoulders shaking aggressively as he took some intimidating steps towards the man. However before he could move any closer a tanned hand gripped his wrist. Naruto had a serious look adorning his face as he griped Sasukes wrist tightly. A different voice interrupted the scene before Sasuke could protest. "Sasuke keep your emotions inside don't let this piece of scum see your feelings it's what he wants." Hashirama's personality had completely altered the first Hokage stood broadly with his arms crossed, his face firm and serious and eyes narrowed dangerously.
"So you're the one responsible for all this mess. You are not the god of this world, enslaving people in a world with fake feelings and opinions are not the answer to peace." Obito didn't seem affected by Hashirama's speech simply letting out a dry life. "So tell me lord Hashirama how a world full of hatred and sorrow can beat this world. Don't you see shinobi will never be able to coexist together, there will always be conflict a prime example is young sasuke over there. He has spent most of his life believing his loving brother murdered his entire clan except all the while it was your village that caused his never ending pain. Imagine if all the hidden leafs dark secrets were revealed, I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't be impressed. But in the end there will be a never ending cycle, don't you see this is the only way."
At this Minato too had begun shaking angrily his mouth setting into a grim line. "You sprout all this nonsense about want to save the world but you and Madara are just as responsible for many peoples suffering including my son. Obito I don't understand, Kakashi he never meant to hurt Rin. We are ninjas this is what happens on missions and I know how much you loved her but whatever Madara's been telling you…" scoffing Obito turned his attention towards his former sensei. "I know you've always had little faith in me sensei but I saw what kakashi did, watch him as he plunged a chidori into her chest and where were you sensei? Where were you when you left us alone in that forest when she got kidnapped? No one bothered to even come find my body when I "died"."
Obito's eyes flashed hatefully and Minato realised how far gone with hatred his former loving student had become. "I left because it was my duty, Kakashi was a jonin he was perfectly able to…" "He was thirteen and a little shit did you really expect him to successfully lead two chunin." Obito spat. Minato shook his head before dropping it shamefully. However another voice broke through. "Oh boo hoo you know the consequences of becoming a shinobi, are life isn't a fairy-tale. I'm sick of listening to your stupid reasoning. At the end of the day it's nine of us against one of you. You're nothing but a puppet in Madara scheme." Tobirama began taking steps forward before Obito said something that made him stiffen.
"Do you not wish to be with your younger brother? Itama was his name wasn't it? Such a shame sending young children into the battle field don't you think? Just think you could spend your life being with the brother you lost, just as Madara is with his brothers. The same could be said to all of you." Taking his eyes of the stunned senju brothers he fixed his glancing at orochimaru, obito spoke confidently. "Wouldn't you like to see your parents again, to feel loved?" watching as orochimaru's eyes widened. Smirking Obito looked at the group before speaking. "I'm giving you all a chance to live your life the way it should be. If you still want to oppose me there will be consequences and like you said before I'm alone against nine. But don't worry I will give you some time to think, before I return with Madara." Tobirama and Sasuke both leaped forward attempting to stop the man that was currently disappearing but were too late, only the man's last words could be heard as it echoed off the cave walls. "Remember this is my world you are in."
Once again silence filled the cave. Many of the occupants were staring at the floor or looking at each other silently. Tobirama broke the silence first. "We need to form a plan, when he returns Madara will be with him and we can take them both out!" looking around for reassurance but tobirama found himself being met with avoiding looks. "Please don't tell me you're all considering his proposition." Naruto shook his head. "Of course not! I'm trying to think of a plan." Unfortunately Naruto was the only one to state his mind. Turning to his brother he was surprised to see him looking depressed. "Brother I know you miss Itama but this isn't right and you know it." Nodding sadly Hashirama agreed.
As the group started debating over ideas on how they were going to stop the two Uchiha's, Sasuke quietly slipped out of the cave unnoticed by the elders however Naruto watched him solemnly before deciding to follow him. Jugo nudged Suigetsu before looking back at the disappearing figures. "Should we follow them?" Suigetsu shook his head. "It's much more amusing here?" watching the two senju brothers argue over there plan.
Naruto had followed Sasuke through the forest being careful not to make any noise, stopping after a few minutes when Sasuke had reached the lake where they had met two previous nights ago. He watched sadly as Sasuke sat on the ground before burying his face in his hands. Everything was peaceful, the calls from insects made a soft melody and the moon reflecting on the lake created a beautiful setting. Sasuke drew his legs up before resting his arms on top of them and turning his head to the side he looked at the trees where the blonde boy was hiding. "You really suck at following someone dobe." Blushing in embarrassment Naruto stepped out from behind a tree his hand going up to scratch the back of his head. "I wasn't following you, I was just going for a piss..." snorting sasuke turned his gaze to back on the lake.
Taking sasuke actions as a sign he didn't mind naruto being here, he made his way to sasuke's side before plonking himself on the ground. Glazing sideways Naruto observed Sasuke's expression carefully. "What are you thinking about teme? Aside for the fact we've got to defeat two raving maniacs." Expecting sasuke to smirk or scoff narutos smile turned into a frown when there was no reaction. Sasuke turned his dull eyes to Naruto. "Why do you care about what I'm thinking? After everything I've done to you." Naruto smiled slowly his eyes glistening. "I've told you teme your my best friend, I will always forgive you whether you say sorry or not. I'm still pissed at." "Hn, don't think I'm going to apologize. I'm not saying sorry for leaving Konoha or trying to get revenge on the ones responsible for the massacre but I am sorry for trying to kill you and sakura and everyone else. It's not your fault I was just so overwhelmed with darkness."
Naruto nodded in understanding. "That will do for now, we can talk about all this later but you still haven't told me what's bothering you." Sighing sasuke looked into Narutos eyes. "Wouldn't it be so much easier to consider obito's proposition. I know it isn't real but I have nothing else to live for apart from revenge." Naruto frowned. "Do you not think I wouldn't like to live my life with my parents and having everything given to me because it's my dream but that's cheating teme and you always have your friends, if we get back to our world you could come back to konoha we can make sure that they all know what happened with your clan. You can start your life again, what would have do after you got your revenge anyway." The silence he was met with was unnerving and the way Sasukes face paled wasn't a good sign.
Getting frustrated Naruto nudged Sasuke. "Teme answer me." Sasuke looked carefully at Naruto; he knew the dobe wasn't going to take what he said next well. "I wouldn't destroy Konoha now; I just want revenge on the madara and obito plus them elders. But afterwards I always figured I would fight you if I lost I would die and if I beat you I would kill myself. I mean I would have nothing left so shouldn't I be able to die in peace and join my fam…" before Sasuke could finish his sentence he felt a painful punch hit him in the face causing him to fall backwards and when he opened his eyes he was being pinned down by a livid Naruto whose eyes were overflowing with angry tears. "Don't you ever fucking say that again teme."
