Mephisto chuckled as he looked inside an orb.
"Well well would you look at this." He said as he could see a young boy crying out loud after his brother massacred his whole Clan.
He heard him scream something about someone helping him.
Hm he could help him. Mephisto evilly smiled. He could help him indeed.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke held his head down.
His voice was sore from all the screaming.
His body felt fragile...weak...
He couldn't believe the events that happened today.
Maybe he should end himself too. At least he would be with his family.
He grabbed a spare bloodied Kunai off the ground and aimed it at his throat.
Goodbye..world.
Before he could stab himself-
"Whoa there young one. Not too fast."
Sasuke heard a voice and looked up to see a..monster looking man.
He wore all red and even his body and hair was red. The only difference he seen was his flaming glowing eyes.
Sasuke quickly jumped to his feet and held the Kunai towards him.
"W-Who are you?!" Sasuke yelled at the man. His instincts were screaming at him to run away, but he held his composure.
"Haha don't worry young one I'm not here to hurt you. My name is Mephisto and I'm here to merely..offer you a deal." Mephisto said.
Sasuke face expression turned curious. "A...deal??"
Mephisto nodded. "Yes a deal. You give me something of yours in exchange, I will give you absolute power."
Sasuke considered his deal. I mean he needed power to defeat his older brother! This was a good chance to get that even though his instincts were flaring at him, he decided to ignore them.
"What do I have to give you?" Sasuke asked.
"You tell me and I'll let you know if I approve." Mephisto said.
Sasuke looked contemplative for a second.
"What about..you can take away my right to use the Sharingan with these eyes?" Sasuke said.
Mephisto smirked. "That will work. The Sharingan is very special to the Uchiha Clan and taking that right away will give me...joy."
Mephisto then brought out a contract paper. "All you need now is to blood stamp right here."
Sasuke nodded and bit his finger to draw blood. He then placed it where Mephisto told him.
"The process should start any minute now. Have fun young one hahaha." Mephisto evilly laughed before disappearing.
Mephisto may have think he outsmarted him, but he didn't realized that he said these eyes.
Sasuke heard about how Uchiha's can trade or take eyes from a relative or sibling to get the EMS or to simply use the Sharingan. Itachi's eyes will be his.
Unlike Itachi, he will fight for the innocent and what's right. He will do this his way.
Sasuke then felt...something.
It was like his body and soul was changing.
He tried to scream out, but was immediately knocked out.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke opened his eyes to see...fire??
The fire led to a throne.
On one side the fire was the color of regular fire. Although it seemed more malicious and cracked. Like a raging bull or a hippo when something entered it's territory.
On the right side was blue fire. This fire was different. It was tranquil and calm. Like a warm embrace of his Mother.
He looked ahead to see someone sitting on the throne.
It had the same clothes as him and even looked to be his age. Like a twin or clone, but the big noticeable difference was that it was a skeleton...on fire..
"Welcome Sasuke Uchiha." He heard a voice that sounded raspy, calm, deep, and eerie. Like a whisper in the ear.
"Who..are you??" Sasuke asked, trying not to be terrified at it.
"You can call me Zarathos. I'm here to help you and to train you on using my power.You are inside your consciousness right now." The now named Zarathos said.
Sasuke gets it now. He must have came from what Mephisto offered him.
"When do we start?" Sasuke asked.
"Before I get to that, I must ask you what are your motives now? I seen your life up until this point and am curious on what you are feeling." Zarathos said.
"I plan to fight for what's right and avenge my clan. My brother will pay for what he's done, but I won't lose myself to hatred." Sasuke answered honestly.
"Hm. I see. Well Sasuke as I said, I will help you and be here for you on your journey. Training will start tomorrow. As of now you can get some rest or walk around." Zarathos said and Sasuke felt himself exit his consciousness.
-Cutscene-
Sasuke sat on a pier above the water and looked at his reflection. He could see his family dying and could hear their screams. He clenched his hands into fists. He will avenge them. He promised.
He could sense someone behind him and looked to see the familiar blonde head.
'Naruko? What she's doing here?' Sasuke thought to himself as he looked into her eyes.
He definitely didn't notice it before, but her eyes held many different emotions.
Curiosity, sadness, loneliness, and even a small hint of hatred were some of the few.
Maybe she needed someone to talk to...
Sasuke waved her down and could see as her face looked extremely surprised before brightening like the bright sun.
She ran down with haste and excitement in her steps. She sat down beside him.
"Why hey there Sasuke! What ya doing??" Naruko smiled widely as she looked at him.
"Just got done talking to the Third Hokage." Sasuke responded as he looked at her.
"About what??" Naruko tilted her head curiously.
"About my clan being massacred." Sasuke responded, voice monotone.
"O-Oh I-I'm so sorry Sasuke, I-I d-" A very apologetic Naruko started before being interrupted.
"Don't be sorry Naruko it wasn't your fault. My brother did it." Sasuke said as he looked at his reflection again. "I already promised myself that I will get stronger so no innocent person will have to experience that same pain." He said.
"Well..that's very brave of you Sasuke." Naruko said as she then looked at her reflection. "I want to get stronger too, so I can be acknowledged by the village."
Sasuke looked at Naruko. "Why do you want to be acknowledged??" He asked curiously.
Naruko looked back at him with a sad smile.
"I feel that everyone hates me and treat me other than the other kids. It may be because of th-" Naruko then paused as her eyes widened. He may treat her the same if he found out.
"Because of what Naruko? You can tell me. I won't judge I promise." Sasuke said supportively.
Naruko took a deep breath in and out as she expected him to have the same reaction. "..b-because of the Nine Tailed Beast inside of me. I'm a..Jinchuriki Sasuke." She said and winced as she expected obscenities to be yelled her way.
They surprisingly didn't come.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "You are?? That's..surprising, but don't let anyone put you down over it. What's inside you doesn't matter, your character does. At least that's what my Mother used to tell me." He said.
Naruko's eyes were widened with shock and surprise.
"Always remember that Naruko." Sasuke actually gave her a small smile.
Naruko's eyes softened at his words and she smiled a very warm smile. "Thank you Sasuke...you don't know how much I needed to hear those words." She gratefully said.
"Anytime-" Sasuke then smirked. "Loser."
Naruko giggled. "Shutup Sasgay." She stuck her tongue out at him.
Sasuke scoffed but smirked.
The both of them then peacefully stared at the stars, enjoying each other's presence.
