The clouds so black, the skies so red.
This was a....
Genjutsu!?
One dead body dropping onto the ground after another...
Was he reliving his clan massacre again?
His eyes darted around.
Putting his hands up to a tiger sign, he let out a burst of chakra.
His eyes opened.
He was still....
"Kai...kai!" He clicked his tongue.
What just happened?
What just....
He clenched his fists.
Oh....right.
Sakura just died.
And he just sat there doing nothing.
"Why I'm right here being pinned down now, with Konoha shinobi after my life...is your fault."
"And what'll happen next...."
"Is also your fault."
"Your fault."
"Your fault."
"Your fault."
His...fault?
"Your...."
Something touched his toes.
He looked down, eyes widening.
Hinata's detached head.
"YOUR FAULT."
Sharp pain in his eyes, he let out a cry as he dropped onto his knees, hands over his eyes.
As the pain slowly faded away, he let his hands fall.
He looked up at the skies.
It was blue again.
"A....genjutsu...?"
His clothing was stained wet.
Wet...?
He looked down.
His eyes widened in horror.
Genjutsu?
No....it was no Genjutsu.
Hinata's detached head right before him.
"And what'll happen next....is your fault."
He shakily threw the katana in his hand away as his lips quivered.
No...no.....no, no, no, no, no, no.....
He chuckled lightly.
He stood up shakily.
"WHAT THE HELL, SASUKE!?" Kiba screamed in rage, throwing a punch to Sasuke's face as they both fell onto the ground.
Eyes filled with rage and hatred, Kiba punched Sasuke continuously. "Do you know...."
"....WHAT THE HELL YOU JUST DID!?"He channeled chakra to his fists before landing a punch onto Sasuke's jaw.
"Yes....yes I do...." Sasuke laughed as tears ran down his face. "I FUCKING DO, GOD FUCKNG DAMN IT!"
"Kiba.....enough," Shikamaru whispered.
"This....this will never be enough," Kiba growled. "They died. By his hands. OUR shinobi's blood. On HIS hands."
"The enemy is still there...." Shikamaru narrowed his eyes. "Calm...."
He gritted his teeth, holding back tears. "Yourself......"
"You overused it," Shinji said as he slowly set Naruto down against a tree trunk.
"Shut up...." Naruto muttered.
"You still have enough chakra left to live, right?" Shinji narrowed his eyes. "Stay here."
"You'll....kill them?"
"Yeah....." Shinji's eyes glowed faintly as he glared at Naruto. "All of them."
He disappeared in a blur.
Coughing up blood, Naruto shakily stood up with narrowed eyes.
"Oi...."
Shikamaru flinched as he looked up. "He's here..."
"You three are the only ones left right?" Shinji asked.
"What the hell did you do?" Sasuke growled.
"Me? I did nothing," Shinji scoffed. "Look around you, Sasuke."
Sasuke clenched his fists.
The dead bodies of the rookie nine and the reinforcements that came surrounded them.
"Then look at the katana that you just threw away all stained with blood....." Shinji gave him a twisted smile. "What the hell do you think happened?"
Kiba glared at Shinji.
"Dear, oh, dear. You should thank dear Naruto for unlocking your true potential. Too bad he's not here...." Shinji lit up. "Oh right, never mind, you can tell him that right after this!"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean!?" Kiba yelled. "Oh....WHO CARES ANYMORE!"
"GATSUGA!"
"KIBA NO!"
Shinji smirked. "Fool."
Sasuke's eyes widened.
Kiba's gonna.....!
'It was you right?' Shinji gave Kiba a pissed off eye-smile. 'It was you....'
Blood splattered onto the ground.
Kiba's eyes widened.
'that my brother.....'
"What....the hell?"
Blood was dripping down Naruto's chin as he grabbed Shinji's arm tight, eyes narrowing.
"Well, well.....what was I expecting?" Shinji sighed with a smile.
"That's enough....Shinji," Naruto growled.
'wanted to protect.'
