"Anako. I'm ordering you to make Sasuke a missing-ninja and he may be killed." Danzo said. I looked at the three cloud ninja in front of me. I looked at the letter showing that Sasuke has taken Killer B. "Anako. Do it. Now."
"I-um. I declare Sasuke as a missing-nin." I said. I looked at the three ninja in front of me. "You can leave my village now." I walked out the tent.
"Anako." Danzo said, following me.
"What?" I turned around and snapped at him.
"You need to listen to me. Now."
"I don't have to listen to you." I snapped back at him. Danzo was in front of me in a moment.
"As your advisor, I advise you to listen to me."
"Why? I'm in charge right. You can't tell me what to do."
"Actually if you remember, the elders told you that you have to listen to me."
"Then why make me Hokage. That is just stupid." I snapped.
"I need you for a reason. And if you tell anyone you're dead. Now go get ready to leave."
"I don't want to go. Only two people are allowed to go. Meaning someone has to stay behind."
"I am going as your advisor since you are still young and you will have two people coming with us. Now go." He shoved me away and I stood there and stared him down. "Do you have something to say to me, princess?"
"You'll get yours Danzo. Just wait." I turned around and left.
"Kakashi. I don't want to do this." I said, sitting at the table.
"Anako, you have too." Kakashu said. "It's the only way we can see what he's up too."
"But why do I have too? He made me order Sasuke to die." I said. "Naruto must hate me and think I'm fake."
"He can't know yet Anako. He can't. No one is supposed to know." He said.
"I don't want to go. I don't want to be made a fool of myself."
"It'll be okay Anako. Naruto wants to go and talk to the Raikage." I chuckled a little bit.
"Good luck with that." I laughed. "I know the Raikage personally… He's a tough man, especially when it comes to B."
"Oh that's right. I forgot you were there for a while." He said. "He pissed at you."
"Of course he is." I said. "Do you think I wanted to do that? I had no choice. Danzo forced me. Those were his words. Not mine." I sighed. "I have to pack. We leave soon. Can you tell him I didn't want this?"
"I'll tell him. Be careful Anako. Please. I don't know what Danzo's intentions are with you."
"I will. I must go now. Thanks for the talk."
I stood behind the three men in front of me. I didn't want to be here and I definitely didn't want to be with Danzo. We ran into some trouble on the way there and Danzo defeated the enemy. We stopped for the night and I kept my distance from Danzo.
"We're leaving soon. Here is a coat. It's going to be cold when we get to the Land of Iron." He handed me a coat and I placed it over my shoulders.
"Thanks."
After another hour, we finally left and made our way to the Land of Iron. I shivered as the temperature dropped increasingly. I felt the snow crunch beneath my feet and soon we made our way to the meeting place. I heard thoughts in the distance and heard Sasuke and his team. I gasped a little.
"What is it?" Danzo said.
"It's nothing. I thought I heard something." I said.
"We've been waiting for you." A samurai said, coming up to us. "One of you needs to remain outside. Lady Hokage may only have two people with her.
"That is fine. Fu, you stay." Fu nodded and the samurai led us to the meeting. I walked in and noticed the other four kage already there. I took my place while Danzo and Torune took their place with the other body guards. A looked at me shocked and I placed my head on my hand.
"You are all here because the Raikage has called a meeting. My name is Mifune and I will be your moderator. The meeting will now begin." Mifune said.
Gaara started the conversation and the other kage started to chime in. I looked at A and watched him start to get frustrated. He slammed his fist on the table and all the body guards jumped down. Torune actually jumped down in front of me. Danzo stayed in his place.
"We are here to talk. Please refrain from your rudeness."
"Stand down." I said to Torune. The body guards went back to their places. I looked up at Danzo. Yelling and fighting broke out between the kages. I stayed silent and observed everything going on. Danzo made his was down to the floor.
"What are you doing?" Mifune asked, looking at Danzo.
"I am the sixth hokage. I have put this girl in my place as a decoy. Please allow me to take my place and she will take mine as my guard."
'So she was being used?' A thought.
"I'll allow it." Mifune said. Danzo grabbed me by my arm and shoved me out of the chair. I glared him down.
"You may take you place, Anako." Danzo said. I held my glare and walked up to the guards. I stood next to Temari and Kankuro; keeping my distance from Torune.
"Are you okay?" Temari asked. I nodded at her and the meeting went underway. I zoned out and looked around at everyone. White Zetsu suddenly appeared and I jumped down with the other guards. He was saying Sasuke was here and A left with C and Darui. He told the Mizukage's guard to watch Danzo. Fu ran in and stood next to Danzo. I stayed where I was. I felt Sasuke's chakra and I shivered. It's a lot darker than before. The Kage all started talking. I felt chakra coming towards us.
"They're here." Ao said.
"Up above." Fu said. We all looked up and Sasuke was standing on the roof looking at Danzo. Mifune jumped and start to fight Sasuke. Danzo escaped the room.
"Sasuke! Danzo is getting away!" Karin yelled. Ao went after him and the Tsuchikage decided he wasn't going to fight.
"Karin follow me." Sasuke yelled and lava was suddenly by the exit door. This is the Mizukage's kekkei genkai. Mei, the Mizukage started talking saying Sasuke was good looking and that she was going to give him a kiss before she killed him. Karin yelled at her.
"If you're not going to join the fight, Tsuchikage, former Hokage, then please get out of here." Mei said, getting ready to fight. I looked at Sasuke and our eyes met for a moment. I jumped up and stood next to the Tsuchikage. Mei blew lava at Sasuke and the body guard, Chojuro hit Sasuke with this hammer thing from his sword and Sasuke went to the other room. Mei trapped him and I jumped down from the ceiling and listened. I felt Sasuke's chakra getting weaker and weaker. This white stuff started engulfing me and I noticed everyone else being affected as well. This is Zetsu. I felt my chakra being taken and Sasuke busted through the wall. His chakra was back.
"Looks like she is having a little trouble…" Onoki, the Tsuchikage said. "Akatsuchi… Shall we join?"
"Yeah!" The got the white Zetsu off and I struggled to get him off. I closed my eyes and felt myself going into his mind and he slowly came off of me. I saw Onoki do a jutsu and Sasuke was gone. Karin started crying and Tobi appeared, holding Sasuke. The Raikage tried to attack him and went through Tobi. He sucked Sasuke into his eye. I felt him land behind me.
"Anako. Lovely seeing you here. Please heal Sasuke for me." Before I could saying anything, I was sucked into his eye. I landed next to Sasuke and I looked at him. I could tell he was in a lot of pain. Karin landed a few feet from us.
"Hey! Get away from him you little witch!" Karin yelled at me.
"Shut up. Or I'll kill you." I said, looking her dead in the face.
'She serious. Her chakra matches Sasuke's.' She thought. I made my hands green and placed them on Sasuke's chest. I felt his wounds start to heal and his chakra starting to come back. He opened his eyes and he looked at me.
"Anako." He said.
"I'm here." I said.
"I thought you died?" I saw the time he found out I died. He cried for me.
"I did." I said, showing the scar on my chest. "But I was brought back."
"I thought I lost you."
"You've never lost me Sasuke. I'll always love you and I'll always be here for you." I said, helping him sit up. "You'll always have me."
"Thank you, Anako." I felt his arms go around my shoulders and he rested his head on mine. I wrapped mine around his waist. I knew I didn't want to leave his side again, but I was torn with wanting to protect Naruto as well. I pulled away and looked at him.
"Sasuke, I want to go with you wherever you go. I don't want to leave you again." I said.
"I can't let you. I-"He was cut off by Tobi showing up.
"I have a surprise for you Sasuke." He sucked the three of us into his eye and we were on a bridge in front of Danzo.
"Sasuke Uchiha, eh…" Danzo said.
"You two better get out of here. If you get into this, you're toast." Tobi said to us. "But don't you stray too far away Anako. I find you." I moved up high and watch the battle start to unfold before. I knew there was no way I'd be getting out of this. I watch as Karin tried to get involved and she was merely kicked away. Wimp. I stayed in my place and listened to all the thoughts around me. Sasuke seemed to have defeated Danzo and Karin jumped next to Sasuke and he bit her, which began to heal him. Danzo wasn't dead and he captured Karin. Sasuke did something unexpected. He pierced Karin to get to Danzo. I gasped and watched as Tobi went down to get Danzo. Danzo destroyed one of the Sharingan by blowing himself up it seemed. Tobi and Sasuke talked and Tobi told Sasuke to kill Karin.
"We'll take Anako with us. She'll be the girl's replacement." Tobi said a couple more things and then he left. I looked at Sasuke and he intended to kill Karin.
"Wait Sasuke." I said, jumping down beside him. "She doesn't need to die. She isn't stupid enough to give up anything. I doubt she even knows anything either."
"Anako, you know my intentions right? I plan to destroy Konoha for what they did to Itachi. And no one is going to stop me. Not even you."
"I know I know, but it doesn't have to be like this. You don't have to destroy Konoha. You-"
"If you can't accept my path Anako, then leave." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke!" I turned and saw Sakura. "I will follow you."
"Sakura, I have no use for you. You shouldn't even be here." Sasuke said.
"Ever you since you left the village, I regretted not leaving either you."
"Sakura, go." I said. "You don't want to get involved with this. Please."
"Sasuke, don't." I heard Karin say and I felt a sword go through my stomach. I looked down at the blade and looked back at Sakura. She had a shocked look in her face.
"I'm sorry Anako. But I don't want you interfering with my plans anymore." Sasuke said, from behind me. I closed my eyes and felt the seal on my forehead start to activate. I kicked Sasuke anyway and the sword pulled out from me. I felt my wounds start to heal and I turned around to look at Sasuke. Before I could say anything, Kakashi was in front of us.
"Anako, are you okay?" Kakashi said, looking at the blood on my hands.
"I'm fine."
"Take Sakura and this girl and heal her enough to talk. There's still time save her and have her talk about our enemy." Kakashi said. 'I'll handle this.'
"Sakura, grab the girl and let's go." I said. Sakura came and grabbed Karin and we moved to a hidden place. I placed my hand on Karin's chest and began to heal her.
"Anako, the seal on your forehead. You activated it." Sakura said.
"Please Sakura. Please stop talking." I said, feeling the tears start to form behind my eyes.
"You're…" Karin said.
"You stop talking too. I'm almost done." I said to her.
'You helped Sasuke and I heard the words he spoke to you in the place we were. I felt his chakra change around you and he betrayed you like me. And you are staying so strong.' I felt the tears start to fall down my face. 'Please don't. Please don't cry.' I saw Karin start to cry and I removed my hand sat back against the wall.
"Anako, I'm really sorry." Sakura said.
"Sakura, give me that kunai and please stay here." I said to her. She handed me the kunai and I made my way to Kakashi and Sasuke were. I stood above Sasuke and moved my way to attack him. I stood behind his back and held the kunai in place. Even after he stabbed me, I couldn't bring myself to kill the man I loved. He turned around and grabbed the kunai from my hand and I did something that shocked us all. I threw my arms around him.
"Sasuke please stop this. You are not alone. I will stand in the darkness with you and I be right beside you the whole time." I said, crying into his chest. "Please. I'm begging you."
'Even after I hurt you over and over again, you still stay by me. You fight for me.' Sasuke thought. I pulled away from him and Naruto was in front me, grabbing me. Sasuke swiped down and the kunai cut Naruto's check.
"I'm here Anako." Naruto said, cradling me and moving me away from them. "I'll protect you Anako." Was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
Okay. I finally updated. I know it's been forever and I finally posted. I was just so stuck on this and it literally took me forever to write this. And I am sorry if it sucks. I had that there is so much dialogue in Naruto. So I cut a lot of it out and added some of my own.
Sasuke stabbing Anako. It had to happen. She had to get her seal. And she did. A lot sooner than Sakura did. There will be a scene with them two soon and it will get better. I promise.
So yeah. Please review. Hate is welcomed since I take forever to update. But positive feedback is also welcomed!
I love all you wonderful followers and stick with me. I promise we will get to the end. Together! :) 3
