RETURN TO THE BEGINNING

“Why? What’s wrong with you? Hey!”

“What do you care? It’s none of your business…. Why? Why do you care so much about me?”

“It’s because I…. Finally have a bond with someone.”

‘A bond, huh. You’re right Naruto. I’ve felt it all this time too’

“Come, Naruto! I know now that I have to sever that bond!”

“Sasu…ke”

“No”

“I’m sorry, Sasuke... But this is it……..”

“He wept tears of blood and slaughtered his own flesh and blood for the sake of his village…. But he could not kill you. Do you understand what that means?”

Rain. The sky was crying. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Mourned for himself, for the ones he loved and lost. The future was darker than black, provided that he had something called ‘future’.

‘No… No!!!!! This is not true, can’t be true. All are lies. Liars! Big brother… Why….. Konoha………… Uchiha clan…… Father…. Mother…… Big brother……. It shouldn’t have been like this…. No….. If…. If only….. What if…….. Naruto…’

-------------------------------------------------

“What the hell are you?”

“Your friend!”

“In fact, you become my closest friend.”

“Then, why?”

“What does someone who’s always been alone know about me? I’m suffering because of the bonds I have!! What would you know about how it feels to lose all of that?!”

“I will never hurt you, abandon you!”

“It is too late, I can’t go back anymore….. Come, Naruto! I will sever the bond between us.”

At Final Valley, two boys threw themselves into a fight. One had tails like a fox, the other had things like wings behind his back. Weird appearances, fierce fight.

-------------------------------------------------

Sasuke stood silently, watched his best friend lying on the ground. This could be the last time…. After the news about he fled from Konoha spread out. He would be a rogue ninja. Never could come back the old days…. No longer………

Rain. A downpour? His left arm throbbed suddenly almost made him collapse. His bandage fell off as if it knew his intention. Somehow he could hear Naruto murmured unconsciously “Don’t… Don’t leave….. me….”

If there is someone can understand the loneliness he bore day by day, that must be Naruto. They were so much alike and still different. He had to go before more people came…. But something told him that he would regret if he left Naruto here. Hurt. He was the most important bond and the only….. he had now.

‘To obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan I must kill my closest friend. Why I have to obey what he said? I do not sever my bond and even strengthen it. I have my own way to get stronger!!’

-------------------------------------------------

“Where the hell……”

“Orochimaru place”

“Sasuke!”

“I know my name”

“Why…”

“You said you would help me to revenge on Itachi. Or you just bragged, usuratonkachi?”

“Of course not!”

“You can leave whenever you want.”

“I never go back on my word! I will help you and bring you back when… you’re done with…… it”

“……. I believe that Orochimaru can teach you something useful. He is one of the three legendary sannins any way. I’m looking forward to our next fight”

“I will beat you next time for sure!”

“You wish.”

-------------------------------------------------

“I’ll tell you once more. Come with me, Karin.”

Suigetsu took Naruto with him and told Sasuke “Well, we’ll go and release the prisoners” while Naruto still seemed to be clueless about why Suigetsu needed his help for such simple tasks. Before they went out of the door they heard Karin said “I refuse. I’m not obligated to follow you at all” and the door closed with a heavy thud.

Suigetsu smirked “He is quite the player, eh?”

Naruto replied “Who? Sasuke? Always. All the girls in the school fall for that *!!!!”

-------------------------------------------------

“How nostalgic! I wonder how Konaha looks like now”

“This is Konoha”

“……What happened?!!!!”

An orange haired guy cut their conversation “You saved us the trouble of looking for you”

Another voice interfered “I am the Fifth Hokage. You trampled on the jewel, the dream of my predecessors. I will not forgive you!”

“However …. My business is not with you. My business is….”

Hebi team +2 (Naruto was not a member, he always insisted “I am in no way his subordinate!” and the other…. Well, regarding he was once the motive, it would be weird to join) stepped in front of Tsunade.

“With us!”

“Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and… Uchiha Itachi”

“Let’s settle this!”

-------------------------------------------------

“Hey big brother Itachi! Good morning! Is Sasuke around?”

“Oh Naruto good morning. Sasuke went to training just a few mins ago, you may meet him on the way”

“Okay, see you later big brother!”
