Yo.
Sixth chapter is finished.
Here are the previous five:
Notes before reading: Back in the 4th chapter, something odd had happened. We see that Sakura has died, in the midst of Naruto and Sasuke's battle. You can say that her blood in on their hands. Sasuke cruelly taunts Naruto, and Naruto is angered, and lunges to punch Sasuke. But at the last minute, Naruto refuses to hit him. Then all of a sudden, there was a white flash, and we know that Naruto's fainted...but what happened to Sasuke? This chapter is written in his view. Again, it's a bit shorter than usual...
A gentle breeze brushed against his dark hair, as bright rays of sunshine pressed warmly upon his face.
Wait, warm…?
Sasuke Uchiha opened his eyes, only to find a clear, bright blue sky looming far above him.
That’s not right, He thought. Just moments ago the day had been darkening, and the wind had been treacherously summoning up a storm. He sat up, only to find that he had been lying in a soft, grassy field.
Memories instantly plagued his mind.
…Naruto was running towards him with his rasengan…
…Sakura leaped in between them with her arms flung wide open…
And then she had died…
He closed his eyes, trying to clear his muddled thoughts. Then he remembered.
Everything had just dissolved…He recalled, opening his eyes. He stood up, and looked around. A paved road was not too far ahead, and seemed to lead to a collection of tall buildings. He stepped onto the road, and strolled through the street. Sasuke stared at the buildings.
This is…Konoha? He recognised. Except, Konoha would never have been this empty. The only place in Konoha that was void of any people was the Uchiha complex.
It was odd. Moments ago, he had felt…stressed. And exhausted. With his battle against Naruto, and Sakura’s sudden appearance and death, his mind was in a mess.
Yet here, he felt calm, and at peace. Strange. It was as though he was a world away from the moments he had only just been experiencing mere seconds ago.
Genjutsu, He thought immediately. Could Naruto have casted it?
Impossible. He had never known Naruto to ever use genjutsu. And even if he ever did, there was no way the idiot could be capable enough to have produced an illusion with such exact detail and feeling. Sasuke only knew one person who was capable of that, but that person was already dead.
Then who…?
Maybe it wasn’t a genjutsu. There had been no one else around in the area to cast it. He was sure of that.
Doubt filled his mind.
“No. This is a genjutsu casted by Naruto.” Sasuke said quietly aloud to convince himself. He had to decide what was going on quickly, so that he could begin thinking of a way out. Naruto casting a genjutsu seemed to be the only plausible explanation for his situation.
“Well, you’re partly right.”
Sasuke spun around at the sound of the voice, and swiftly drew his sword. His eyes widened at the oncoming figure. Cold fear began to sweep through his body, and coursed through his veins.
“No…y-you’re dead…you died!!” He pointed a shaking finger at the person. Suddenly, memories flashed through his mind’s eye, of a certain figure lying cold and dead on the ground; his eyes were lifeless, his face dirty, his arm burnt. Dried blood decorated his lower face.
Sasuke focused back on the approaching figure, who had now stopped to stand across from him. He could feel his heart thumping wildly in his chest.
There, stood the very man Sasuke had spent half of his own life swearing to kill.
There, stood Uchiha Itachi.
Chapter 7:
And?
I understand that I have made Itachi in two different places at the same time in this story. I don't see it as an error...the Edo-Itachi isn't aware of this. Explanation of what is going on will happen in future chapters. You can already guess, I'm working on Itachi's gift here. Bear in mind, I started this fic before the chapter about Koto Amatsukami came out. I had already envisioned this, so, I'm sticking with it. So let's pretend K.A didn't exist. (For now).
Again, sorry for the short chapter. >__> "
