The Ten Tails (A Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 24

Sasuke didn't seem like him anymore.

"Sakura.....who did this to you...." Sasuke asked. 

"Who is it?!" He asked. He looked at his palm, his sharingan activated.

"Don't worry. On the contrary, strength is rapidly flowing in.......right now I feel fine, that guy gave it to me."

"Eh?"

"At last I understand...I'm an avenger. I will get my revenge even if I will go through the dark side. Now, Sakura! Tell me, who harmed you?!" Sasuke asked once more.

"It was me!" Zaku answered with a smug look. Boy you goin down-

Sasuke looked towards Zaku. Ino, Shikamaru and Choji hid in the bushes as Ino deactivated her jutsu.

Sasuke's curse mark spreaded even more.

"Dosu, this weak bastard is nothing to be afraid of!" Zaku said and began making hand signs.

"Stop Zaku! Don't you understand!?"

"Super Sonic Wave!" Zaku blasted at Sasuke as wind took over. Zaku panted while Sasuke wasn't in his field of sight.

"Heh, I guess he got blasted away." Zaku smirked.

"Who did." A voice behind him said and he knocked Zaku towards Dosu who whilst having a sleeping Akiko in his arms. He placed Akiko down and began making hand signs.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" The balls of fire raced towards Zaku who raised his hands.

"Don't get too cocky, i'll blow them off!" The wind blew the fire which revealed to be fire on shurikens. The Shuriken slashed Zaku.

"Zaku below you!" But it was too late. Sasuke was behind him, holding his hands ((￣y▽,￣)╭ ) and holding Zaku down with his feet. Sasuke smirked.

"It seems like you're proud of your arms... You!" Sasuke said and pushed him down more, trying to break his arms.

"S-stop it!" Zaku said in pain. Sasuke continued as Zaku's hand twisted and he fell, arms completely broken and passed out. Sasuke looked over at the only one standing now, Dosu.

"You're the only one left. You...." Sasuke began walking over to Dosu.

"Make it a little more fun for me..." His words dripped in malice. Dosu shook.

This isn't.............This isn't......Sasuke! Sakura thought as she began to cry.

"Sasuke." An angelic voice said as everyone looked to see who it was. Akiko stood there before Sasuke and looked at him. 

"Please, stop." Akiko said looking at Sasuke who looked at her with his sharingan. The curse mark retreated as Sasuke fell backwards. Akiko caught him. He began to pant heavily.

"You're strong." Dosu said and got out the earth scroll.

"Sasuke....We can't defeat you the way you are now. Please let us withdraw now." He setted down the scroll and picked up his comrades.

"We'll come back."

"Wait!" Sakura yelled.

"Who is this Orochimaru!? What did he do to Sasuke!? Why Sasuke?!" Sakura asked.

"...I don't know. We were given orders to make the hit on Sasuke." He answered truthfully and left. 

"Sasuke." Sasuke looked at Akiko who was smiling at him which eased him a little.
