At the Hospital…
Sasuke finally awoke after being hospitalized from his curse to see his brother and teacher waiting for him.
He was having a coughing fit while Itachi provided water to him, after all you don't get rehydrated much when you are in a coma, and he would know. Sasuke looked a lot better than when he was admitted, though not better than before that awful snake cursed his brother… The next time he finds him, there will be no mercy, never again. But there would be time for that later because his brother needed him and he needed to be ready for whatever was coming their way, especially the boy Gaara. If not prepared there was a good chance his brother would be ripped apart.
"Sasuke, how are you feeling?" He asked the boy while Sasuke finished his water, soothing his poor throat which was dry from thirst.
"Been better considering…."
Itachi nor Kakashi needed to hear anymore.
"Well, you might want to come with us. We need to begin your training and your brother has something to tell you." Kakashi crudely informed.
"Kakashi," Itachi growled then turned to his younger sibling.
He coughed a little and it caught Sasuke's attention.
"Itachi…"
"We can discuss things once we leave." Itachi sighed and then opened the window as the calming breeze felt good to him.
Then the three were gone.
At the Hidden Village Streets…
Naru was grumbling as she was stuck with the jerkiest of jerk teachers, Ebisu.
She remembered this jerk very well.
"Naruto! Release the honorable grandson at once!" Ebisu ordered as Naru hesitated in confusion.
…
"You stay away from that ruffian, Honorable Grandson. You are destined to be the Hokage and to do so you must listen solely to me because I was right. Because I am the path to your success and to your great future and must only listen to me. Alright?"
But when he looked down, Konohamaru was already gone.
"Honorable Grandson? Where did he go?" Ebisu questioned as he looked around in a panic.
"I think he went to follow Naruto." The Hokage answered as he was smoking on his pipe.
"WHAT!? NO! HONORABLE GRANDSON!" He bellowed as he fled after them while the Hokage and the elder Uchiha sighed.
…
"You rowdy are nowhere near the level of a true shinobi."
True Shinobi, yeah right.
She managed to take him down with her Sexy Jutsu just like that. Now, it looked like he was trying to get her some payback by making her try on walking on water. She keeps dunking in the water even when she thinks she's got it. Ebisu was probably the worst teacher ever and it wouldn't be long before he rubbed the wrong guy.
At the spa, Naru met the perverted Sage, Jiraiya.
Where the Sand Nin were residing…
Plans were being made for the Shinobi to begin their war with the Leaf as Garaa was alone, thinking about the dear, darling woman he met earlier.
His bride, his lovely bride.
Naru, that was her name and that was all he thought about. Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru…
"She is so pretty, Mother, pretty, pretty woman. She is fearsome, feisty, stubborn, everything I would enjoy her. She is everything I wanted… yes… I will make her my bride after feeding both Uchiha Brothers to you. Their blood will be the foundation of our wedding…."
Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru, Naru…
His siblings looked at him and then looked at their leader.
"We will get what we wish soon enough. Once the destruction of the Hidden Leaf is complete, our people will be known throughout the world and we will be the greatest village of all."
"And these Sound Village-?"
"They will live up to their end of the bargain."
Oh, if only they knew. If they knew that a snake was lying within their very desert and was making its way to the forest.
Prey and revenge were within his grasp…
He will have everything he desires.
