3rd P.O.V
- This village has changed quite a bit while I was gone...starting today, the village is my responsibility as...the 5th Hokage. - Tsunade said.
- YOU HAVE THINGS TO DO! - Naruto screamed.
- Heh? Jiraiya, so who were they again?! - Tsunade asked.
- HEHHHH?! I TOLD YOU! YOU ALREADY FORGOT?! - Naruto said annoyed.
- Kakashi, Uchiha's kid and Gai's student Lee. - Jiraiya said.
- Right, right. Let's go then. - Tsunade said.
Saori P.O.V
- Good morning Saori-sensei. – Sakura said entering the room.
- Good morning. – I said still looking at Sasuke.
- So...no progress? – she asked calmly.
I looked at her.....
- No. Nothing. – I said sad and looked at Sasuke again.
- Kakashi-sensei hasn't wake up either. – Sakura said.
- I see. – I said.
- May I come in? – we heard.
I looked up............I widened my eyes and immediately got up.
- Who are you? – Sakura asked.
- Saori-nee-chan! Look! We did it! – Naruto said.
- You're...Tsunade. – I said amazed.
- I am. And you are? – she asked.
- Uchiha Saori. – I said.
- I see. – she said and went near Sasuke.
She looked at him.
- May I? – she asked me.
- Yes, please. – I said.
She put her hand on his forehead and started glowing green...................she then stopped.
- He'll wake up soon. – she told me with a kind smile.
I looked at him and widened my eyes.........he's waking up....
- Thank you so much! – I said to her bowing.
She put her hand on my shoulder.
- You're welcome. – she said nicely.
He started to sit.
- SASUKE-KUN! – Sakura said and hugged him.
.....................................................he's awake.......he's okay................
- Sasuke you – Naruto started but stopped seeing Sakura reaction.
- So who's next? – Tsunade asked.
- C-Come I'll guide you. – Naruto said leaving.
- Naruto. – I said going to him.
- Huh? Yeah? – he said.
I crouched down to his level and gave him a small smile.
- What is it? – he asked.
I pulled him into a hug.
- Thank you Naruto. You did a great job, I'm proud. – I said.
He accepted the hug.
- T-Thank you S-Saori-nee-chan. – he said.
We stopped hugging.
- You can go now. Go help the others. Oh and by the way, I want to see that new jutsu of yours. – I said.
He grinned.
- HAI! LET'S GO TSUNADE-NO-BAA-CHAN! – he said.
- STOP CALLING ME THAT! – she said annoyed and they left.
I looked at Sasuke and Sakura..........Sasuke looked at me and then looked to the other side.
- Sakura. – I said.
- Yes? – she said.
- Could you leave and go see Kakashi? – I said.
- O-Okay. – she said and left.
I went to Sasuke.
- Sasuke look at me. – I said calmly.
He looked at me.........his eyes....so cold...so mad....so much anger.
- Sasuke, what were you thinking? – I asked.
- I just....I wanted to take him down. – Sasuke said with anger.
- Sasuke...I get that but......if you can't even win a fight against me what made you think you could win a fight against a S-rank criminal? – I said.
He looked the other way.
- Sasuke...I'm not saying you're weak. I'm saying that you're just not ready for something like that right now. And....you could've died....and.....what would I do then? What would I do if you died Sasuke?! – I said.
He looked at me.
- Tell me! What would I do if you died Sasuke?! Don't you think we lost enough?! I lost my friend, I lost my parents just like you, I lost Shisui......how would I survive if I lost you?! – I said crying now.
His look became more calm.
- I.....I want him dead Saori.......do you understand that? – he said.
- Sasuke......I do understand what you're feeling. Believe me I do! You're not the only one who's suffering or suffered! But revenge is not the right way! – I said.
- Then what is the right thing Saori?! Let him live?! When he did what he did? Tell me what's right then?! – Sasuke said.
- Sasuke listen to me, I already talked with you about this I – I started.
- You think someone else told him to! You told me that and I don't believe it Saori! It doesn't make any sense! – Sasuke said.
- Sasuke you don't know everything that was going on! – I said.
- I know that he did it! He probably even killed Shisui! – Sasuke.
I widened my eyes a bit.
- Sasuke...don't talk about things you don't know. – I said.
- I'm telling the truth Saori! – Sasuke said.
- Sasuke he didn't kill Shisui and I know that for a fact! So don't believe everything you hear! – I said.
- I believe what I see! I saw what he did! He killed our parents! – Sasuke said mad.
- Sasuke come to reality! Do you REALLY believe that Itachi OUT OF NOWHERE decided to kill every Uchiha?! Think about it Sasuke! It doesn't make any sense! – I said.
- HE DID IT! THAT'S WHAT I SAW THOUSANDS OF TIMES! – Sasuke said.
..................
- You don't understand my pain. – Sasuke said.
I widened my eyes.
I went near to him and put my forehead against his.
- Sasuke...I'm the one who understands you the most. Deep down you know that. I lost almost everything and I know what it's like to lose your parents. Sasuke I'm here for you and I always have been, I would die for you, you know that. I just don't think revenge is the way to go because I'm afraid you get lost in the darkness and I don't want that for you. I know how you feel, it killed me seeing him hurting that day. It hurt me so bad that I couldn't help you more. I'm sorry Sasuke for everything but understand why I'm telling you this, it's just because I don't want to lose another person specially you. – I said.
He calmed down.
I hugged him
- I'm here Sasuke, I will always be by your side even if you don't see me. – I said.
He accepted the hug which made me smile a bit.
We stopped hugging and I put my hand on his head.
- Don't you ever forget that Sasuke. I will always be by your side, no matter what happens, no matter where I am or where you are. – I said.
He nodded.
I smiled.
- Very well. Get some rest I'm going to see if Kaka-baka is okay. – I said.
- One day he'll beat you for calling that. – Sasuke said with a small smirk.
- That's funny that would happen if he could catch me. – I said.
He smirked.
- Get some rest. – I said.
He nodded and with that I left and closed his door.
I looked at the ground.......I sighed.........Sasuke, don't do anything stupid.
I went to Kakashi's room.
I knocked.
- Come in. – I heard.
I entered.
- Yo. – I said going to Kakashi.
- Hi. – Kakashi said tired.
- So, how are you feeling? – I asked sitting on a chair next to his bed.
- Like I'm dead. – he said.
- Well...you're not. – I said.
He chuckled a bit.
- How are you? – he asked.
- Fine. – I said.
- Are you sure? Jiraiya said you fought Itachi and Asuma told me you got poisoned by some Akatsuki members. – Kakashi said.
- As I said, I'm fine Kakashi. The poison got taken out and I'm alright now. – I said.
- Jiraiya said you went after him and his partner. Did you talked? – Kakashi asked.
..................................................................
- No. We fought. – I said.
- I see. – he said.
......................................................................
- How is Sasuke? – he asked.
- Mad, cold, frustrated, angry. He went there thinking he could just kill Itachi. – I said.
Kakashi sighed.
- He's still thinking about getting his revenge huh. – Kakashi said.
- I don't think....there's nothing we can say or do that will change his mind Kakashi. I just hope he doesn't do something stupid. – I said a bit sad.
- I'm sorry Saori. – he said.
- You don't have to apologize. We did what we could. – I said.
He nodded.
I got up.
- Where you're going? – he asked.
- Going for a walk. I need to clear my thoughts. – I said.
- Don't get poisoned again. – he said.
My eye twitched.
- Says Kaka-baka who got beaten up! – I said annoyed.
He chuckled.
- Have a nice walk Saori. – he said.
- Thank you, get some rest. – I said and left.
I went for a walk...................I sighed......what can I do?...Nothing, he made up his mind that Itachi has to die and he's the one who has to kill him. Not only that but now I have the stupid Akatsuki after me wanting an answer.............I sighed.....so they were the ones that wanted me and my mom at that time.
