Konoha's Priestess

Back To Konoha

Sasuke's POV

I glowered as Konan stood in front of me. She was the only obstacle that was separating me from my goal. I growled in annoyance as Konan launched another attack, doesn't she know that she is already defeated? I used my sharingan on Konan, successfully trapping her in it.

Then, I asked her for the location of Nagato's body. As soon as I got the location, I pierced her heart with a kunai. The earlier I  get the rinegan, the better. Whenever I was one step closer to my plan, I heard a voice talking in the back of my mind, begging me to stop. For the past few days, the voices were soft, barely hearable, but now, they were as loud and clear as ever.

'Sasuke, you don't have to do this.'

'Please, go back to Konoha.'

'Go back for (Y/n). You love her, don't you?'

I vigorously shook my head to rid myself of those thoughts, it's too late to turn back. Even if I kept telling myself that, I knew deep down that it wasn't too late to turn back. That I needed to stop before I end up doing anything that I regret, but the damage has already been done. (Y/n) hates me with a burning passion, I'm sure of it. There's no use in living any longer.

(Y/n)'s POV

"We have to go back to Konoha, I promise I'll see you another time, Gaara," I gave the red haired male one final hug before I had to leave.

"We'll see each other again, don't worry," Gaara promised.

"Then I look forward to it," I grinned, letting go of Gaara.

After wishing Gaara a final goodbye, I left. I knew my friends were already waiting for me outside. I had heard from Sakura that Lady Tsunade was planning to form an alliance with all the villages to stop the fourth ninja war. I grumbled in annoyance, the fourth shinobi war would never take place if Sasuke listened to me and went back to Konoha.

"(Y/n), are you okay? You look really upset," Obito asked.

"No, I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about. I just remembered something very troubling. Let's just get on with our journey."

"If you say so," Obito wasn't completely convinced, but he didn't push any further.

Timeskip~

"(Y/n) and Kakashi, you will be coming along with me for the meeting," Tsunade announced.

Kakashi and I dutifully nodded our heads, "Yes, Lady Tsunade."

"And (Y/n), I would like for you to bring Deidara and Sasori with us. The other kage's should know of your amazing abilities," Tsunade informed.

"I will. I'll have them packing by today. I won't disappoint," I promised.

"(Y/n), one thing you never do is disappoint. I have my full faith in you."

"It is an honor," I replied.

With that, me and the jounin were dismissed. An awkward tension wafted in the air as we walked together. It had been a really long time since we have walked together, much less talked. I knew why Kakashi would suddenly feel uncomfortable or awkward around me. I had somehow returned to the village with his friend that he had thought was dead for years.

Kakashi's reaction was understandable. I knew I wanted to say something to the silverette, but I bit my tongue, don't make it more awkward then it already is. Remaining quiet was a horrible option. The tension in the air only grew from then on. In my peripheral vision, I saw Kakashi stuffing his hands into his pockets.

I couldn't take the tension anymore, "Kakahshi? I don't know why you have been avoiding me...Could you please talk to me?"

"....." the silverette remained quiet.

"Kakashi, answer me. I'm trying to relieve whatever tension is between the two of us, but you being uncooperative is not helping at all," I strictly said.

"You can't make others do what they don't want to do, but if your so adamant...what is there to talk about? You suddenly come waltzing in with Obito Uchiha behind you, someone that I had thought was dead for years! What are you going to do next? Summon both Hashirama and Tobirama Senju?" Kakashi snapped, this is so unlike him...I never would have thought Kakashi would have gotten angry over something so...simple.

"I don't think I deserve your anger. I just so happened to have found Obito Uchiha, what's wrong with that? Aren't you supposed to be grateful that he is alive? Don't tell me you want him dead...do you?!" I shot back, instantly internally scolding myself for snapping, I really need to control my temper.

Kakashi looked taken aback and hurt, "That...that isn't what I meant to say..."

"Then what is it Kakashi? Is it because you have a problem with me? If you do, I'd gladly stay away from you," my voice was barely above a whisper.

"No, it isn't that. It's far from that. It's the fact that you somehow found my friend that has been missing for years suddenly appears at such an important time. It's hard to believe that you had nothing to do with it. And I know you can revive anyone, so why don't you do it? You could summon the strongest shinobis in history. Isn't that simpler?"

"I can't do that, Kakashi. I can't," I firmly stated.

"What's stopping you form doing that? An easy win? An easy win will stop the loss of thousands of innocent lives! Why are you only reviving people such as Deidara and Sasori? They're bad people, (Y/n)!" Kakashi almost shouted.

I let out a bitter chuckle which surprised Kakashi, "You just don't get it, do you? The people I revived are people who deserve a second chance, a second shot at life. You think Hashirama and Tobirama need a second shot at life? They have achieved so much in their lifetime that if they achieved something else, I would find it laughable. And don't think that summoning people doesn't take a toll on me," I shouted right back at Kakashi.

By now, everyone in the surrounding area had gathered around us, they were curious as to what the jounin and I were arguing about. Much to their disappointment, I grabbed Kakashi by the wrist and dragged him away, no one else in this village needs to know such things.

"But aren't you strong? So what if you have to sacrifice chakra? So what if you get tired? If it means saving a couple of lives, then why don't you do it? You aren't the (Y/n) that I know...the (Y/n) that I know would save them no matter what!" The argument grew more heated as every second went by.

"I'm human, Kakashi, I have my flaws. I've always tried my best to appear to be perfect in front of you, that's why you think I'm strong and heroic. I remained strong throughout the years so you won't lose your shit. You all needed someone to hold on to, so I gave myself up and my mentality to remain the same throughout the years. Human's need a constant in their lives to hold on to so they won't get carried away by the winds of change so to speak!" I was full on screaming by now.

"Do you know how much acting like that..broke me?! I pretended to be okay when I wasn't, I put on a smile when I wanted to fucking cry! And I helped you when you were at your lowest! That's why I seem so powerful to you when I am in fact a selfish piece of shit, and I'm okay with that! Obito, Gaara and everyone else was okay when they found out about the real me, but you aren't. Get your expectations in check!"

"I am human, I make mistakes just like everyone else! My mistake just so happens to be...putting up a perfect facade that has managed to fool even the smartest people. You know what the others made me realize? That I am fine the way that I am, that I don't have to change in order to fit everyone's expectations when you...You constantly ask me for everything and more! I was there for you, but were you there for me? No!" I regretted what I had said, yes, Kakashi was there for me. When I was sad, happy, angry, he was there for me since the very beginning.

I didn't know what force took over me, but I said something that I would most definitely regret my whole life, "You disappoint me, Kakashi Hatake."

A/n: Enjoy!!
