Chapitre 65: Chapter 65 : Uchiha or Monster (3)
Sakura couldn't stop thinking about it. Team Seven had found a huge tree with a hallowed out trunk and decided to make camp for the night. While she was trying to sleep, and then after she woke, all she could think about was Sasuke's actions.
The Uchiha had been her crush since she was a little girl in the Academy, and he never had a nice thing to say about her the entire time. They never spoke as friends, or even comrades. They never really spoke unless they absolutely had to, or when she would get shot down when she asked him for dates.
He never looked at her the way she wanted no matter how hard she tried. So that's why, when he was willing to carve his own eyes out for her… she just couldn't believe it. He had been speaking to the man-lady, but he had looked straight at her when he was about to thrust his kunai into his own skull.
That one look was the reason for her restlessness in the matter. Why did he look at her at the last moment? Yes, the fact that he would do that at all was extremely shocking, especially for someone like him, but that wasn't what bothered her the most.
It was his look. He had looked at her the way she had craved for her entire life. It was only for a split-second, but it had happened. She hadn't seen things. She hadn't!
She wanted, needed to know why.
"Wait!" Sasuke whispered suddenly. "Someone's coming." He brought a kunai out from his weapons pouch.
It didn't take long before three figures appeared- three figures Team Seven knew, kind of.
"We finally found you!" An odd looking boy with spiky black hair and an Oto Hitai-ate yelled. "Dosu. Kin. I told you I'd find them."
The only other male of the group, an even stranger looking man wrapped up in bandages, huffed. "Sure. It only took you two days…" Dosu deadpanned.
"Whatever. Let's just hurry up and kill them!" Kin, the only female groaned in an annoyed tone. She then developed a smirk. "Too bad, though." Her eyes went up and down Sasuke. "He's such a looker."
Sasuke smirked, but it wasn't because he was flattered.
He was already able to wake up so soon after the last time. He loved it. He let loose his Kunai, but Zaku, the first to speak, used one of his own to block the rather sloppy throw.
"Damn. This kid sucks…" A smirk found its way onto the Monster's face as his kunai hit its target. "He can't even throw a kunai right at this range! It'll be easy to kill him, then."
Leaves that fell from the trees his kunai hit above the Sound Genin came into his vision. "And here I thought he'd be fun to play with…" Sasuke suddenly went through a series of hand-seals, faster than the other Genin could react.
Naruto was a slave driver, but his method's worked. He was sometimes a hardcore physical training enthusiast. Sasuke had gained muscle in the few hours he was like that…
He was then someone who sat him down and worked to his weaknesses. It was like he was giving him more attention than anything else. Sasuke had finally learned the Shunshin (Body Flicker) because of that.
He'd drilled nothing but teamwork into his mind for an entire day. He had been told that "those who abandon the mission are trash," which was obvious.
It was one of the Shinobi Rules after all. He then continued with "but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash". Today, Sasuke finally understood what that meant.
He would also, on rare occasions, help him like he was still in the Academy.
At first Sasuke had thought he was mocking him or something, but he quickly learned that it was actually a beneficial method of learning. And that Naruto never mocked him, or anyone.
All of that was hammered into every fiber of his being in the timespan of a few weeks. Unfortunately for these Oto scum, that was enough. He was the apprentice of the Kamikage. It was time the world understood that.
The young Uchiha took in a deep breath, ready to let loose his families most-used Jutsu.
Sasuke vanished.
It wasn't until Zaku's screams echoed in the forest that anyone knew where he had gone. Behind said Genin, Sasuke stood, the flames from his Katon:
Gokakyu no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) clinging to the spiky-haired Shinobi reflecting in his crimson eyes. There was no crazed, creepy look in those eyes of his. All there was were the eyes of a Monster. The eyes of someone awake.
Kin was the first to react. She dove forward, at the pink-haired female of the team. Before Sakura could counter, or do anything really, Kin was behind her, her pink hair within the Sound-nin's hand. Haruno cried out in pain when the bitch pulled, hard.
"Don't move, Uchiha! Or I'll kill her!" She shouted. Before Sasuke could make a move on Dosu, he stopped at the girl's voice.
That's when their eyes met again. He looked at her the way she always wanted a second time, and she didn't know why. With tears threatening to fall from her eyes, she withdrew a kunai from her weapons holster and cut.
As pink fell, her eyes never left the Sharingan ones of her team-mate. She would not bring him down anymore. She wouldn't be the weak, helpless person she knew she was anymore.
She was a Kunoichi of Konoha damn it! It was time for her to start acting like one. Sasuke smirked at the look in her eyes, and nodded. She had his respect. She had his attention.
Instead of switching places with the leaves with the Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique) like he did to get rid of Zaku, he decided to Shunshin (Body Flicker) to Kin. His foot met her stomach with a sickening thump. She wasn't unconscious, but that had to have hurt her.
When he turned to face Dosu, the man was already about to attack. Before he could use the same technique that blew Kabuto away on him, he was hit in the back of the head.
When the Oto-nin's mind cleared, he noticed he hadn't even been aiming at Sasuke, but at his female accomplice. Sasuke once again looked at Sakura. So Kakashi decided to teach her some Genjutsu… yeah, she definitely had his attention now.
Sasuke was already on top of him before he could stand, and a kunai was placed firmly at his throat. The two just stared at each other for a moment before Sasuke began. "Give me your Scroll of Earth."
He smirked at the man's confusion. He knew he thought he'd be killed for sure, but that wasn't something Sasuke wanted. Could he take the Sound Shinobi's life? Definitely. But it was the power to decide whether or not the man died that he was looking for.
The man's life was for him to choose. And he was not a Demon. He was a Monster… he was an Angel of Heaven. It was his way of showing the true strength of Konoha to a newer nation.
They had the power to crush anyone they wanted, and chose not to. They wished for nothing but to live in peaceful harmony with the other villages. That was their choice, nothing else.
Dosu slowly brought the scroll from his jacket, and handed it to the Uchiha.
"You're not going to kill us?" He asked, not understanding the Genin's logic. "Why?"
