Foul Love (Sasuke x OC)

33

As I sit in the living room, I pull out my books. I arrived in the Hidden Cloud after a week of traveling from the Grass, and I've been here for about a week. When I first arrived I requested to speak to the Raikage, and they told me I could stay in Setami's old house. So that's what I've been doing.

The Fourth Hokage of the Leaf will forever go down in history for what he did to save his own village, along with the incredible jutsus he came up with. His heroics saved his entire village, even at the cost of his life. Minato Namikaze is undoubtably one of the strongest Shinobi to have lived.

The page ended so I flip it, but a small piece of paper fell out of it.

'Flying Thunder God' was written on the top of the paper. I know enough about the Fourth Hokage to remember this was is most famous jutsu, as it earned him the name as the Yellow Flash of the Leaf. 'A kunai engraved with the user's chakra is thrown to anywhere, and then the user can transport to it as long as they can sense their own chakra.'

Then it explained how to use the jutsu. Who could have possibly wrote this? Everything was explained on this piece of paper, and it seemed rather old. Someone slipped it into this book in the Hidden Grass, how could they be so careless? What if this jutsu fell into the hands of the wrong person?

"No matter," I whisper to myself. "Time to learn a new jutsu."

----

I made the educated decision to stay in the Hidden Cloud until it's time to meet with Kakashi and Setami. For the past three and a half months I've done nothing but train and read my books. Occasionally I'd go to the library for a new book, but I'd always end up rereading the ones I took from the library in the Grass.

With great force, I launched a kunai across the field. My chakra imprint was on it, and I felt myself transport over to it. Finally I got the jutsu down, along with many more I learned in my books. This one though was the one I was most proud of, the prized jutsu from Lord Fourth himself.

In a couple of weeks Setami and Kakashi are coming to visit. The thought of seeing them again brings a slight smile to my face. I wonder how big Rin has gotten. With these thoughts in mind, I continue to train relentlessly.

----

By the time Setami and Kakashi are supposed to meet me in the village in the clouds, I've mastered at least one A-rank jutsu from each element. When the day comes to meet with them, I finish up my training and head back to Setami's house.

I prepare dinner for everyone, and wait for them to arrive. It's been so long since I've seen them last, and I could not be any happier. Nothing has been particularly bad about my journey, but I miss seeing them. Being alone isn't a foreign concept to me, but I think of these people as my family and I really miss them.

There's a knock on the door, and rush over to it. When I open it, it's not who I thought it would be.

"May I come in?" asks Sasuke.

"Absolutely not, Kakashi is going to be here soon. Do you really want to be here when he is? I assume your new friends are with you too, a full fledged battle wouldn't be good for you Sasuke." I tell him, trying to keep my composure.

"I'm here alone."

"Liar."

"I'm not lying."

"That's all you do."

"Madi, please."

"Didn't you hear me? Kakashi and Setami are coming here."

"This won't take long."
