Chapter 2 – Sasuke's return

In the last chapter, Orochimaru's forces of snake-men were preparing to destroy Konoha, but Sasuke had gone through his first change, and the sapphire moon had arisen. Orochimaru's forces are in trouble.

The ninjas of Konoha gathered at the base of the wall, ready for the strike, meanwhile Naruto had gathered all the citizens in the basement of the capital building, and joined the Ninjas in the courtyard.

Sakura was sitting in the hospital, if Sasuke was among them, they'd kill him.

"Worried about Sasuke?" Hinata asked as she sat next to Sakura.

"I can't help it," Sakura said, "I think I love him."

"I bet you he won't be among them," Hinata said, "He's smarter than that."

Sasuke wasn't part of the army, he was running through the woods, heading toward Konoha.

The ninjas standing in front of the gate took their stance as the ninjas on the tower started throwing ninja stars, and firing bows.

Sasuke could sense Orochimaru among the snakes, but he could also sense that Sakura was worrying about him.

In Konoha, Naruto was thinking about what would happen if Sasuke was leading the charge, he had grown to like Sasuke as a friend, he would be devastated if he was in that attack.

Sasuke was miles away, but getting there.

The ninjas on the wall kept throwing and shooting as a large banging came from the gate, "PREPARE YOURSELVES!" Tsunade ordered as she drew her sword.

The ninjas drew their swords, knowing that some of them might die.

The grip Naruto had on his sword was uncomfortable, he wasn't prepared to kill someone he knew almost his whole life.

The gate came crashing open, allowing the snake-people to charge.

"DEFEND THE CITY WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!" Tsunade yelled.

The ninjas threw slashes over the wall of spikes that some of the snake-people were getting skewered on, hitting some of the snake-men.

Naruto grabbed hold of one of the snake-men, and drove his head into the spikes, and then thrust his sword forward, killing another.

On the other side of the city, Sakura and Hinata could see the attack going on, so far only green on one side, and tan flesh on the other, so Sakura could tell Sasuke wasn't there.

Orochimaru had snuck into the other side of the city, Sakura and Hinata saw this, and ran to tell Tsunade.

As they were approaching the front lines, Sasuke's charge through the forest didn't go unnoticed, an army of werewolves soon started following him, Konoha was as good as saved, but how would the ninjas react when they saw all of them coming over the mountains.

Sakura and Hinata soon arrived at the front lines, "Tsunade!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Sakura, Hinata," Tsunade said as she ran back to them, "You're supposed to be at the hospital!"

"They're coming over the wall," Sakura said, "There needs to be more ninjas guarding the sides!"

Tsunade ordered several other ninja to attack Orochimaru's forces coming over the walls.

Sasuke could sense he was getting close, but how close was the question, he need to get there fast, he knew Orochimaru's forces were gaining ground.

Sakura and Hinata ran back to the hospital, dodging debris left and right as Orochimaru's forces pushed the Konoha ninja further and further back.

Eventually the ninjas reached the secondary line of defense while Orochimaru and his pet, Lord Snake, a snake big enough to take on King Kong moved toward the lines.

Sasuke quickly leapt onto the mountain, and began his climb with his werewolf brothers and sisters.

Sakura and Hinata knelt on the ground in front of the hospital before sensing something.

They both looked up, and saw something quite large standing on top of the mountain, the shadow from the moon caused everyone on the battlefield to draw their attention.

It was Sasuke who raised his face toward the moon and howled, after he did the army of werewolves he had gathered appeared right behind him.

"WEREWOLVES!" someone yelled.

"That's the last thing we need." Naruto said.

"KILL THEM ALL!" Sasuke shouted.

The werewolves ran down the side of the building, and as the ninja prepared to fight, the werewolves jumped passed them, and attacked the snake-men.

"They're not attacking us," Sakura said, "Why?"

Tsunade didn't need a reason, she just gave an order.

"Don't attack," Tsunade ordered, "The werewolves are on our side!"

Sasuke dropped right behind Tsunade, and stood up, towering above her to ten feet tall verses six feet tall.

"Who are you?" Tsunade asked.

"I am a disciple of Romulus," Sasuke said, "I am someone you know well, and will found out who soon enough," Sasuke pointed toward the moon which was going down, "I will soon transform, but for now, let's drive these snakes out of this village."

"YOU HEARD THE WEREWOLF," Tsunade ordered, "Let's drive them back!"

Sasuke then turned toward Sakura, he walked over to her, and she looked at him almost afraid, "Be not afraid," Sasuke said as he took to one knee, and bowed, "I am bound by the law of the werewolf to serve you."

"Me?" Sakura asked.

"I am," Sasuke said as he stood up, "They are not, command me Mistress Sakura."

"Drive them back," Sakura said, "Appease me."

"As you wish my Mistress," Sasuke said as he stood up, turned around, and charged at the snake-men.

Sasuke was soon ripping into the snake-men as Orochimaru was coming in for the kill.

Sasuke looked up, and charged at Lord Snake.

Lord Snake lunged at Sasuke who jumped up, and dug his nails into the snake's skull, and ripped a hole going all the way back until he reached Orochimaru who looked at him with a surprised look, he reached for his sword, but before he did, Sasuke came at him with a fist the size of paper-back book, and nailed the evil snake-guru on the bridge of the nose.

Orochimaru went flying, landing against Konoha's wall and embedding himself ten inches deep.

Sasuke charged, and started rapidly punching Orochimaru, kicking up dust and debris.

Lord Snake was dead, bleeding out of the skull from a brain injury.

The werewolves had soon dispatched of half of the snake-people, in one part of the district Naruto was fighting several snake-people, and after he dispatched one, another snuck up behind him.

One of the werewolves grabbed the carcass of a snake-man, and tossed it, smashing the snake-man complete.

Naruto looked back, saw what the werewolf did for him, looked back at the werewolf, and nodded. The werewolf apparently smirked, nodded, and went back to the battle.

Meanwhile on the wall, Orochimaru was badly beaten, but Sasuke wasn't finished, even though Sakura said nothing about Orochimaru, Sasuke was consumed by rage, and the want of revenge that he didn't want to stop until Orochimaru was coughing blood.

Sasuke grabbed Orochimaru by the shirt, and jumped, then slammed his body into the wall of Konoha's hospital.

He then jumped, and slammed Orochimaru into the roof of one of the buildings.

It wasn't long before all of the snake-people were dealt with, and the battle was won.

"Where's the leader?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke came crashing into the center of the battle-field, slamming Orochimaru into the dirt, and then started raining punches down on top of him, digging him further and further into the dirt.

Pretty soon as he stopped, Orochimaru looked up at Sasuke, "Please," Orochimaru said, "No more, please no more."

Sasuke looked up at the mountain, and saw the darkness of the night had become a light-purple with a single streak of orange.

"You're lucky I don't have enough time," Sasuke said as he climbed out of the hole, holding Orochimaru a few inches away from him, "Never come back," Sasuke threw Orochimaru into what remained of the night sky, Sasuke then turned to the werewolves, "Away my brothers, I must face the people of Konoha myself. GO!"

The werewolves jumped off, running into the woods as Sasuke faced the people of Konoha who witnessed him nearly kill Orochimaru, "You saved us," Tsunade said, "Who are you?"

"You'll soon find out," Sasuke said, "You might want to tell the kids to cover their ears and eyes, this is going to be loud and gruesome."

As soon as the sun appeared, Sasuke knelt to the ground, holding his head, and howled, it was his first transition back into a human from being a werewolf, and he could feel his bones snapping back into place, his legs reforming, and his body shrinking.

Sasuke thrashed left and right, he felt like he was dying, he was in a tremendous amount of pain.

The hair that covered Sasuke's body soon shrank back into his skin, and he shrunk to normal size, Sakura could tell that whoever this werewolf was transforming into was one major hunk.

The tattoo on his arm then appeared, and so did his hair.

He was defiantly wearing pants, and most men were thankful, but some of the women weren't.

Sakura walked forward as Sasuke fell to his knees, his hind legs turned into human feet, and he was fully-human.

"Are you ok," Sakura asked as she wrapped a blanket around Sasuke, then raised his head, and was shocked to see his face, "Sasuke?"

"Hello Sakura," Sasuke said as he stood up, "This village got some food?"

Sakura hooked her arm around Sasuke, and placed a hand against his chest, "Come on inside the hospital," Sakura said, "Let's get you some medical attention."

Sasuke was guided passed the civilians and ninja, and into the hospital.

Sasuke is back, what should Konoha's reaction be? FEEDBACK PLEASE!
