'Thank you's at the end of the chapter
ENJOY
"We're getting closer." A mix of anticipation and anger slipped through the blond man's voice.
The two Konoha shinobi increased their pace and readied themselves for the upcoming battle.
Reaching a small clearing, they landed gracefully to the floor and scanned the area.
"He is coming!" The loudmouthed ninja glared ahead of him while bending his knees to get into a fighting position.
His companion mimicked his actions, while drawing a kunai. Moments later a masked man appeared across the clearing. The smirk behind the mask was well hidden, yet the two Konoha shinobi could almost feel it.
Before the blond could utter a single word the masked man had already moved behind him with a sword firmly held in his hand.
"Time to get the kyubi." He whispered and raised his sword.
He watched, not surprised as the blond moved with blinding speed, jumping away from the swords cutting edge. The silver haired man threw the kunai to the enemy and watched as he caught it with no effort at all.
Activating the Mangekyo sharingan, he launched himself up in the air, maneuvering his body so his head was looking down towards the enemy. At the same time Naruto, whose body was already covered in the nine-tailed fox's chakra, rushed forward with the Rasengan in his hand.
The masked Madara avoided the deadly attack and raised his sword to attack once again. Seeing the opportunity Kakashi released Kamui, but his target avoided the attack by disappearing.
Naruto made some clones and watched as the masked man reappeared behind his sensei, delivering a strong kick to his side. The silver haired Jonin burst into chirping blue lightning and Naruto nodded to his clones, letting them know his plan.
The clones rushed forward, some of them jumping up in the air, while the rest scattered around the man. He took them all out using taijutsu alone. As the smoke from the clone's disappearance lifted, Naruto glowing with the demon's chakra emerged in front of the man.
He tried to deliver a punch, but it went right through the enemy's body. Quickly regaining his stance he formed a hand of chakra just as his silver haired teacher appeared at his side.
"Don't be careless, we need a plan." He heard him say, but he paid no attention as he sped forward, creating a rasengan. The older man cursed and charged his own signature attack, just in case his student needed back up.
The masked man watched as the two shinobi came at him and he decided that it was time to get serious. Raising his arm he created a force field and expanded it. Kakashi, seeing the approaching attack shouted at his younger teammate, but it was no use. Both of them were slammed back, knocking down several trees in the process.
The first one to get to his feet was the blond.
'Facing trouble, aren't you, brat?' A voice echoed in his head.
'Kurama?' The golden chakra that hugged his body shifted and nine golden tails appeared behind him.
'You might still be unable to transform, but against Madara I'll pass all of my strength on you.' Blue eyes widen and then closed, while a small smile broke to the blond's face.
'Thank you!' Reopening his eyes he watched as the masked man faded away. He felt around the clearing for the man's emotions, he followed the string of hate and watched as the masked guy reappeared behind him.
Making good use of the demon's help, he pumped more chakra to his feet and with unimaginable speed he rushed behind his enemy. Caching him unprepared, he used his chakra arms to slash him, leaving a deep gash on his back.
'Damn him' The masked man thought as he inspected his injury and his completely destroyed fan. Seconds after that he was forced make himself transparent in order to avoid a ball of lightning that came his way.
The Jonin pulled his hand back and the string of lightning attached to his finger pulled the mass of lightning towards the masked man once again.
The other Konoha shinobi jumped up and charged the infamous rasengan. Both attacks went through him, much to their disappointment.
The masked Madara, getting bored of this, used his telekinetic techniques to slam the silver haired man onto a big rock, his next move was to sent a fire jutsu towards said man.
With no time to evade the attack the Konoha Jonin activated Kamui, sending the fire ball in another dimension. Smirking, his attacker send another, even bigger one towards him. Feeling the exhaustion from his previous jutsu and the pain from the hit, the copy ninja fell in one knee.
His comrade rushed to his side, only to be slammed back, thanks to one of Madara's jutsu.
"KAKASHI-SENSEI!" He screamed as the red flames hid the older man from his eyes. He stared with wide eyes to where he last saw his teacher and his breath got stuck in his throat.
As the flames subsided, he could make out two figures standing there, narrowing his eyes he tried to see past the smoke and the ashes.
And he did it.
Kakashi was still leaning on one knee and in front of him stood no other than the last Uchiha smirking, probably at his own dumbfounded expression. Around his two teammates the purple ribs of the susanoo could be clearly seen.
"What's the meaning of this Sasuke?" The masked man spoke, letting his anger coat his words.
The Uchiha smirked even more.
"What do you think." He spoke as he drew his sword. It wasn't a question, he noted as he stood straight and let his blue orbs connect with the midnight one's of his friend.
He couldn't help but smile as the one he considered his brother stood proud next to their teacher.
He was brought back to reality when their enemy made his move, aiming for the black haired rogue ninja.
Sasuke clenched his sword and got ready for the incoming attack. 'Madara' was already halfway through the clearing, when all three of them were pulled towards him.
Sasuke was heading for the sharp edge of the man's sword, while Naruto and Kakashi were dragged behind him.
He raised his sword to block the blow, but it never came. Kakashi, still exhausted and with the wound he received from Sasuke's chidori reopened, managed to use Kamui to swallow not only the sword, but the man's arm as well.
Naruto, taking advantage of the five second's loophole and the pain their enemy was experiencing appeared behind him and attempted to hit him with the rasengan.
He was stopped when chains shoot out of the man's sleeve, circling him and preventing him from moving.
The Uchiha was behind the man in mere seconds, with his sword in midair. The attack once again didn't meet its target and the young Uchiha greeted his teeth in frustration.
The man jumped through him and landed behind him. Just as the Uchiha turned around an invisible force sent him flying back. He slammed against the dobe and then both of them hit the ground, hard.
During the fall, Sasuke's sword had slipped from his hand and had pierced the blond's shoulder.
They both stood up and Sasuke retrieved his sword and sheathed it. He turned to his left to watch as his fatherly figure struggled to stand up while holding a bleeding wound that he himself had inflicted.
He turned behind him to watch his comrade clutch the shoulder that was pierced by his own sword, and flinch.
Making up his mind, he activated his sharingan and turned to the loudmouthed shinobi, showing him his plan in a genjutsu.
"T-teme, what the…?" But he was already gone.
He reached the masked man in what appeared to be milliseconds and attempted a roundhouse kick, only for his leg to pass through the man.
The masked man materialized and caught the fist he attempted next.
"Chidori Nagashi!" electricity run through his veins and hugged his body, yet the enemy had managed to dodge.
Gritting his teeth he decided it was time to set his plan in motion. He wouldn't let anyone close to him get hurt again.
His brother sacrificed his life for him.
The dobe took all the attacks he ever directed on him.
His sensei guided him to the best of his abilities, only to be wounded by him.
The woman he loved offered him her heart and he crashed it.
It killed him inside, to finally understand what he was turned into. And at that exact time and place he swore to himself to never let anyone important to him get hurt.
With his regular sharingan still activated he launched at the masked man. Kicks and punches were delivered with the speed he was known for.
The enemy, even though he was impressed with the Uchiha's speed, evaded the hits with ease.
And then he finally saw it, a little opening. Seizing his chance he grabbed a kunai and trust it forward.
Feeling the pain from the hit the last Uchiha quickly shifted to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and casted the strongest genjutsu he could produce to the older man.
He knew that with the man's power, he would break free of the genjutsu in mere minutes. Yet he tried to hold on for just a little bit longer.
Just a little longer.
RASENGAN
He felt the blond's chakra mix with that of the tailed beast as the force of the technique pushed him back.
Blood spluttered everywhere and he tried to focus his eyes at the scene in front of him.
His blond comrade stood in the middle of the clearing, with blood oozing out the wound in his shoulder.
Following his line of sight, he saw their opponent on the ground, in a pool of his own blood.
His silver haired sensei quickly kneeled over the man and examined his vitals.
"He's dead!" He exclaimed, almost surprised.
Dead.
He was dead, he did –no they did it!
Feeling the satisfaction for achieving his goal wear of, he fell to his knees and watched as a red puddle formed around him.
His vision became blurry and somewhere in the distance he could make out a familiar voice calling his name.
"T-teme?" His knees gave up and his eyes met the sky as he fell on his back.
"TEME!" The voice was closer now, but he couldn't tell exactly how close.
His consciousness faded to nothing and what little was left of his self vaguely registered the darkness swallow him whole.
"SASUKE!"
His last coherent thought was…
'Gomen, Sakura, I broke my promice…'
The End…
Just kidding hehe ^.^ somehow I think no one found that funny…
Oh well, please let me know what you think.
IMPORTANT, for those who reviewed;
I usually PM those who left a review to thank them properly and/or answer any questions. For the last couple of weeks I had been facing major connection problems. (I usually had to refresh the site at least 5 times in order to sent a PM)
The thing is I just noticed some of those PMs disappear from the outbox. I'm not sure if they got send so, today I'll post the answers here.
Noura; Thank you for reviewing. Sasuke is acting like an idiot, but I have a feeling Kishimoto is planning something by reviving Orochimaru, I guess we'll see.
Wealse-chan; Glad you liked the battle, I was really unsure of the last chapter. Thank you for your encouraging words, seriously, you took a weight of my shoulders ^.~
DarkNinjaz7; (^.^)/ *wave wave* Hey, what's up? Glad to know you understood that chapter, if you ever have anything to ask, just ask right away, kay? Gaara and Sasuke are my favorite male characters (although I love to torture Sasuke, while I see Gaara more like a teddy bear xD) and I believe they have that weird way of understanding each other, I don't think I conveyed that right, let's hope some mangaka out there can do it better ^.~
GreeceSJL; Glad you liked it ;D 'cause it gave me a headache, seriously battles (especially long ones) are not my thing. I don't get it how both of those scenes ended up that big… Anyway, as you probably read already, Sasuke did help with the fight (big time) ^.^
Midnight Angel Sakura; Thank you for reviewing (both of my stories actually ^.^) and yeah Gaara and Sasuke are my favorite male chars, so I couldn't resist putting something like that on last chapter ;D
LadyAizenUchiha; Thank you for your review, I'm so happy you liked last chapter! And It's completely irrelevant but I want Sasuke back too, but he is just had to go and revive the damn snake…
I tried to keep that short, sorry…
Anyway, I will test my theory and act accordingly.
Until next time,
Wings Of A Butterfly…
