Chapter 51: Goodbye

I made him look at me and after apologizing to him for what I was about to do, I activated the Sharingan and put him into one of my illusions, making him faint. I undid the technique and caught his body before it landed against the floor to avoid him getting even more hurt than I had already hurt him. I placed him on the futon and covered him before taking leave because he wasn't at fault for my decisions. It wasn't his fault that everyone wanted to kill me but he had to understand at some point that I did not belong in his world.

I caressed his blond tresses while I kneeled at his side because this was going to be my goodbye. I wanted to march away from this village and I don't know if Naruto would understand that we couldn't be together. He belonged in this village... where I was only an assassin, a traitor. I neared my face towards his, touching my forehead with his as I apologized to him, asking him to forgive me some day and that I loved him. He couldn't hear me, I know. He wouldn't know anything but even so, I kissed him one last time before leaving.

I walked out of his house and there were a lot of people watching from below. I suppose they had gathered from the noise and the ruins of our fight but even so, I didn't stop once. I saw the people look at me worriedly when I walked out and it was normal; everyone feared me, so I passed by and continued running, looking for the exit.

The guards began blocking every exit of the village after being informed of the situation in Naruto's house. In fact, they believed I was escaping after attacking my own teammate. They believed just about anything to blame me, so I was right: the best thing I could do was leave. Although, I didn't know where to leave from without hurting too many people in the process because that would make my situation worse.

It surprise me to see Suigetsu on one of the roofs near the one I was hiding in and with a quick movement, I went to him. Luckily, he showed me a way of escaping and I followed him, supposing he was still a part of my team. I could only trust in my teammates. I no longer belonged in this village, I was only the traitor.

We exited the village and I breathed in relaxation once I was out. My team was still there, all of them. I then asked Karin for my brother. I wanted her to tell me where he was right now and I wanted her to locate his chakra immediately.

"We're going for your brother?" Suigetsu asked me.

"No." I told him. "I think it's time we get away from here." I commented. "We have nothing to do except keep ourselves alive. I'm going with my brother."

"Then we'll go with you." Karin told me. "We have no other missions to do and no other place to go."

"There's no need for you all to come." I told them. "Seriously, you all have done a lot for me. You've tolerated my vengeances, so go and live your lives, I mean it. I only need you to do me one last favor: I need to know where my brother is."

Karin concentrated on searching for Itachi's chakra and when she located him, she explained to me where he was. I thanked Karin for the favor and began running. I wanted to leave and the sooner, the better. It was strange to me how when I advanced a few more steps, I felt Suigetsu's presence after me and I stopped, waiting for him to come to me. He didn't take long in arriving.

"What's wrong, Suigetsu?" I asked.

"I wanted to apologize for my behavior these days. I had no right getting in your personal life." He told me.

"Sui, you'll always be someone important in my life, but I can't help loving that imbecile." I smiled and he too, smiled with me.

"I understand." He said.

"Come here." I told him, getting closer to him and kissing him because I could do nothing else for him. He would have to deal with this goodbye kiss. "Take care of yourself and goodbye." I told him, smiling while advising him to take care of the rest of the team.

"I will, take care." He commented just before I began running off in search of my brother.

I didn't want to stop until I arrived with my brother, more so because whenever they discovered that I was no longer in the village, they would look for me to kill me and let's not talk about Naruto... he was capable of going to hell itself with any intention to save me. He was a damn airhead and he was going to get himself into problems. I didn't want to give him any problems, it was best he let me leave and that's it, but no, he was too much of an idiot. He wouldn't dare lose me and we all knew it.

Although I didn't want to stop, I knew I'd have to make a stop at some moment but at least, I could stop at just the right moment and while they followed after me, my team could head in the opposite direction, also avoiding to be found. We would separate the enemies and all of them would prioritize finding me instead of my team, that was the best option because then at least I would have no remorse over having gotten my team in a serious problem.

On the other hand, I couldn't stop thinking about Naruto. It's just that, we had been good these last few days that I didn't know if I could get used to being alone again, to go back to my loneliness and my vengeances. I may have shown him something new, like sex, but he had showed me that there was a life beyond revenge, that there was a life where I could be happy without thinking about any problems. A life only thinking about your partner, living together, not being alone. But all of that ended now.

I shook my head a few times to try and get those ideas out of my head because I would have to leave everything behind me. I had to forget about Konoha, of its problems, of the people there. I had to forget about Naruto, it would only bring problems and he had it very clear that he wanted to become Hokage. I couldn't come in between in his decision, I couldn't break his dreams so he could stay with me... he would never be Hokage then and I couldn't take that away from him.

I barely slept for the next few nights. I ran and continued running. I wanted to reach my brother as soon as I could and I had to get away as far as possible from all of that. I suppose they had already found Naruto and after various nights... I knew that surely... he was already looking for me. That's why I had to leave fast. I slept only a couple of hours, stopping for just enough time to eat and then I continued. I didn't even stop at night, I would only sleep when I arrived to my brother.
