The life of a Saiyan price… Uchiha style.
Summary: Uchiha Sasuke… First desiring his brother's death for the slaughter of his family, then the destruction of his village for given the order and then… Fighting to protect. So how did he end up being reborn as a the heir of the Saiyan throne?
Kingdark: This idea really, seriously won't let me abandon it in a corner. I'm recycling the first few opening sentences, but then it'll jump into the future. I want to stress that these are all one shots and don't necessarily happen in the same universe. This means that where in one universe, Vegeta / Sasuke may still try his hardest to kill the earthlings the first time around, he may as well NOT do that another time.
This part takes place in the SAME au as the previous chapter. The specific timeline is sometime after Sasuke made a home for himself on earth.
03 – part 2
Shinobi. To endure. To do what must be done. To execute the trash of the world. To burn the sickness out so the good could flourish. What one learns in their childhood often stuck throughout adulthood and the same could be said of Sasuke. Sasuke now had undercover operatives throughout the entire planet. Spies everywhere. It meant that he was pretty much blind to the rest of the galaxy except for a few operatives that couldn't risk leaving. Or didn't want to leave for that matter.
Sasuke considered the fact that he could try and gather the Dragon balls. Try and make the wish he desired. To end the torture. To stop being reborn. To stop being denied the people he had made bonds with. To stop being torn away from people precious to him.
All those thoughts… That had made him ascend. That emotional pain had been the trigger he had needed after he had reached the base strength he needed to be able to survive the transformation.
And now he had the chance. The opportunity to ask for it. But before that…
"Excuse me." Sasuke said. It stopped Krillin from speaking up. Sasuke looked at the people around him and asked the question that would determine whether or not he could ask for his wish.
"I have a wish I want to ask for but… I want to know if you trust me enough to ask for it."
"I do." Gohan said quietly.
"G-Gohan?" This was said by multiple people.
"Vegeta-san has risked his life defending this planet. He could've killed me when I was weak and he could've killed the rest of you as well. Dende doesn't need to be conscious for the Dragon balls to work and well… Even at full strength, Tien, Yamcha and pretty much every other non Saiyan aren't a threat to him. Except for Trunks."
"Gohan has a point." Piccolo spoke up. "Besides… If I can be reformed. If you can learn to trust me… Then I think that he deserves the chance as well."
Seeing that no other protests were forming, Sasuke nodded to himself. This was it. This was his chance.
"Dragon!" He spoke up. Loudly enough for it to hear him.
"Please make it so, that I will stop being reincarnated and that when the next time I die… That I remain dead and won't wake up going through… IT again."
The Dragon tilted its head as it considered the wish, or more likely made an instinctive attempt to accomplish it.
"You wish for what you can already do?" It questioned.
'Wait what?'
"I cannot fulfil a wish for something that you can already do." The Dragon stated. "Now, please make your wish so I can return to my slumber."
"What do you MEAN, I can already do this?" Sasuke demanded. Screw politeness, he wanted answers damn it!
"I have been reborn over a dozen times, have been torn away from countless people! I have been reborn in different dimensions so even if I were to visit this after life, I wouldn't be able to find the people that I knew before! So how the HELL can I already do what I asked for? I wouldn't ask for it if I could do it in the first place!"
Sasuke should have remembered that none of the earthlings knew about his 'secret.' It usually caused the usual disbelief and the occasional accusation of his sanity. Or the lack of it.
"You were given a gift. You just haven't bothered training it yet."
'Gift? What gift? None of this made any sense!'
Sasuke growled, his power level growing before he forced himself to calm down.
"Dragon." Sasuke said again. "Gift me with the knowledge I need so I can fulfil my previous wish on my own."
"I can't do that either." The Dragon admitted.
What. The. Effing. Fck?
"The person that gifted you has a higher rank then myself. I cannot gift you with the knowledge because he decreed you figure it out for yourself."
Sasuke's fists clenched and he only barely restrained himself from losing his temper.
"If you can't do any of that, then there is one last thing I want to ask for. I do not wish to lose the people that are precious to me in this world, so I ask you, to make our lifespans as long as possible. I do not desire immortality, but I don't want to die of old age for a very long time. That applies to the people I care for as well."
"That's a very broad wish." The Dragon stated. "It can be done but I'm compelled to tell you that fulfilling a wish such as this has consequences."
"Such as?" God, he already regretted speaking up.
"You already care for the earth and its inhabitants, to their lifespans will be extended for as much as their genetics allow. You care for the fellow Saiyans and your other operatives so their lifespans will be extend as you wish it. However, the price you will pay for this is a low level of births."
"Go for it." Sasuke said simply.
"As you wish." The Dragon stated. It's eyes did it's typical glowing thing and every human on the planet earth felt a strong heat going through them. The elderly would find themselves healing and recovering from things that were typical for old age.
Then the Dragon vanished and the Dragon balls scattered into every direction.

That's it. My muse got interrupted because it got too late. I went to sleep, couldn't write for a day or two and by then I lost my train of thought. I realize it's unusual short, so when I reread this, I'll probably add to it in a future update, either on my own or by request. Depends on my mood and how many people ask for it. This got a low priority you know? Besides, I've got another idea that's itching to get written.
