Chapter 58

Sound village, amonth and a half before Chuunin exams...

Sasami growled out in frustration, as her new sensei taught her some fire jutsus. Having discovered her element was fire, because of a test he had given her with these weird pieces of paper. The little girl was dancing for joy as it had elicited a small smile of amusement from the tall youth.

Now, she was glaring at the fact, that she could still not match the size or the shape of the fireball jutsu he was teaching her. Having taken her out to a lake so as to not damage the countryside, the little girl was practicing the technique he had shown her, and was getting more and more aggravated as all she had so far was a fireball maybe half the size.

Patiently watching from a tree, Sasuke watched and remembered the time, he had with his father.

Stilling against the tree, he realizes that since the massacre, he could not think of his family, without feeling rage or hate against Itachi. But just now as he thought of his late father...that feeling had never come....

Instead all he had felt was sadness...

His mind crashing down at a phenomenal rate with his pain, at the thought of having forgotten his father...mother and all those he had lost. He is shocked as from out of nowhere, the child he has taken as his apprentice.

Hugs him...

“Sasuke-sama, shouldn't be sad. Sasuke-sama should be happy!” The little girl said with a determined look on her face. Poking a finger into his chest, the little girl glared at him with amber eyes filled with kindness. “Think happy thoughts!”

As the words from her lips passed, something within Sasuke's mind opened. All though only a hint of it is all he sees. It is a vision, which somehow warms his broken spirit...

A plain and simple three story house beckons him. He can hear laughter and warmth from within it.

Pausing just outside the door in confusion, he finds it opening with a black haired woman looking up at him with love in her gold eyes.

“Finished your mission so quickly? I'm proud of you son!”

Wanting to deny, her words as he knows that she is not his real mother, he still finds himself smiling and happy as she hugs him. His voice coming forth he is surprised at the words spilling....

“Wanted to finish it quickly, he promised me that he would spar with me when I got back.”

“Still trying to beat him huh? You and your brother...” She smiled in exasperation. “Anyhow they are both out back Sasuke honey. They are currently working on a new jutsu while I teach your little sister how to cook.”

Those images disappeared, but the feeling he had gotten from them remained. Looking at the kind hearted woman with the same amber eyes, and features as he sees in this little girl.

“Sasuke-sama happy now?”

Somehow, the dark haired youth, fights the urge to smile, as he responds. “Hn...Keep practicing...”

Grinning happily, as that was his way of saying fine. She returns to the lake to keep working on the fire jutsus.

Despite her not wanting to be a ninja at all, Sasuke-sama had managed to get through to the little girl that despite her wishes. It is best to know how to defend herself from attacks. He had pointed out, that if she was the only one left to defend a family member, who was hurt. What would she do?

That had made the little girl determined to learn something that she could do. Despite having her bloodline ability with mind jutsus one of the first things, Sasuke had trained her in was not to depend to much on them. In a light spar, reminiscent of his time with Kakashi, he had shown the girl that against people with strong will, she would not have a chance to break them with her mind abilities.

So she had taken to learning of others as best she could. Because she was still a child, he had started the young one off with basic clone jutsus and some of his family ones as well.

Watching as she practices some more, he feels a familiar chakra approaching. One of a fellow traitor....

“Sasuke-kun, I believe we have a meeting to attend to at the moment.” Kabuto worded casually, his eyes on Sasami who was working on her fire jutsus. The child had paused a little bit in fear, when she had sensed the gray haired nin's presence.

Still, the little girl had managed to steel her features in concentration. She was not going to let him bug her with his presence. And for that Sasuke was proud... unlike him at this moment. She was going to overcome her fear.

Fear...such a little word...

But one that he feels constantly. Because he has one fear that reigns supreme his mind...

A Fear of failure...

In Cloud, Stone, Grass

Councils from all over were discussing the leaf. In Cloud, they were discussing the matters of taking the only child of Arashi Kazama back tot heir village. Yukita, being the daughter of their Kage, he was furious after all these years of being denied his grandson.

Having heard the rumors and everything, the Kage was also wishing to go to war, to destroy the village that had treated the youth for something that was beyond his control. But memories of the Hyuuga incident cam into play. Many of the council members remember the trouble it caused them and the leaf village so long ago.

Losing their strongest ninja to the Hyuuga was bad enough, if they were to go to war, the entire clan would probably be out on the front lines causing them to lose more then just one ninja in revenge for that catastrophe.

So discussions were still in the works. Some insisting on war and revenge....

Most leaning towards peace and alliance...because through a certain blonde youth they now have a permanent tie to the Leaf

In Stone and Grass, revenge was more or less being spoken...

Rumors of the Yellow Flash's return had spread like wildfire all over the five great Shinobi nations. Both were touchy, over the fact that Arashi when he had been around years ago for the third great Ninja war. That it was he who had stopped them many times.

He had nearly decimated Stone's armies, while fighting against them several times, because of the Hiriashin.

Not to mention, taking out most of Grass's best when he ran into them at the same time. Apparently Grass and Stone had become allies after that first encounter he had with Stone. It seems he had taken out quite a bit more then they desired and had sought out some help...

Now they intend on doing it again. Specifically to cause pain to a certain younger blonde, who was their common foe's son. The upcoming exams that were to be held in Konoha would be a perfect opportunity to do so. Grass having one of the few demon vessels still around, was intent on sending theirs to kill the youth, but were having second thoughts.

An unconfirmed rumor had spread to them via Cloud and Rain that said boy in question was a vessel as well. But not just any vessel....

The one for the Nine tailed Fox...the strongest out of all the Biju...

Currently, they were waiting for confirmation, of any kind from spies that they had sent to confirm this. But in the end it takes the rumors of Akatsuki to confirm it. It was well known about the events that happened to the Kage in Suna. He was a demon vessel who had earned his village's respect and been attacked by two members of the elite S class group of missing nins.

The fact that not once, not twice...but now three times they had gone after the same kid that they wished to kill, confirmed that their greatest enemy had sealed the strongest demon of all time in his own son.

This required careful planning... To beat the son who used his own power, would have been hard but doable. To beat one who had the infinite power of the Nine tailed fox....

That was another story....
