Hidden Brothers

Chapter 14

Hey guys!

Hope you are enjoying yourselves in this story. I had a hard time writing it in the midst of my school and busy schedule as the time draws closer to my important exam in November.

I have good news for you all and it was one thing that took me a while after a couple of reading and watching anime series.

And~~~~ My third story is officially out!!! Yay!! Really took time to think REALLY HARD on what to exactly start it.

The story is called "Two Souls, One Bond". Wanna know more? Check it out to know!

So anyway at the end of the previous chapter, looks like Kianza is with someone that I guess some of us last needed SINCE he is the villain in the Naruto series until he was revived or brought out again during the Fourth Ninja War by Sasuke (if I'm not mistaken about that).

Long story short, Orochimaru is not a terrifying rogue ninja but, he left not because of the experiments he did (Not for this story) but because it was to stand guard of any future attacks or discovery from other villages. In other words, he's spying on other nations for the sake of Konoha and no, he's not labelled as a rogue ninja.

Anyway, on with the story!

____________________________________

Silence was tensed in the air between both legend prodigies, staring at each other that could send shivers down spines.

It was only then that Orochimaru lets out a chuckle and he sat on the soft ground.

"You have changed, Kianza....." Orochimaru said "The last time we met, you were a little more shy and quiet......"

"I have grown up, is all....." Kianza smiles "After all, I can't be staying the same after what had happened...."

"True......" Orochimaru replies ".... Somehow, you look better now.... And you truly have become more matured..... You can say, the ideal brother that many would adore....."

"A true ideal brother is how siblings grew up together....." Kianza laughs softly "I was never any of my brothers....."

"You are now...." Orochimaru said and quickly cuts in Kianza's words "Look at Sasuke now..... He has grown to a fine teenager with the manners of a proper young man, not with the life of vengeance that his ideal brother wanted....."

"The consequences for Sasuke to become that man he is now caused the hatred towards me to rise....." Kianza sighs softly "Don't forget that Itachi will still want my head..... Maybe even if he learns that Sasuke still lives..... That, is something that I can guarantee to you....."

"And what will become of Sasuke then......" Orochimaru asks ".... Kianza.... Look at Sasuke carefully..... Look at the change within now and 6 years back..... Look at how your relationship had grown over the last 6 years..... Recall back his words each time Itachi become your topic..... And the way he learns from you, how much effort was given in his training..... Do you think that it is already proven ages ago..... That Sasuke loves you deeply, maybe even more than he had loved Itachi....."

Silence was given as Kianza did recall back, each recall proves Orochimaru right. His hands unconsciously became fists as he look away with a pained look.

With a single thought of him killed by Itachi, Kianza could see the effects towards Sasuke upon that sight. Itachi will have succeed in killing him in the future if it happens.

But Sasuke instead of giving trust to the brother he once idolised so much, he will seek vengeance towards Itachi. In the end of it all,

Itachi will still obtain his wish of being killed by Sasuke, who will face the sufferings of losing all his loved ones in the future.

"Do you see it now....." Orochimaru said softly

".....Hai...." Kianza whispers

"Sasuke may be raised under your teaching and the Tsukikage..... But that does not change the fact that he is still that little boy who is easy to be convinced...." Orochimaru said, standing up and place a hand on the raven's shoulder "Sasuke may or may not forgive Itachi if he kills you..... As you can easily forgive Itachi..... The only thing that you can do..... Is to guide Sasuke more and hope that he will see why....."

And Kianza knew that Orochimaru is right.

Naruto forced his blush away and the rest he could to avoid looking at the younger Uchiha in the living room. His hands shaky as he tries to concentrate on cleaning the dishes (which failed completely).

(The hell, man.....) Naruto swallows silently (He's a kid.... He's a kid.... Don't look..... Don't loo- AH SHIT!! HOW THE HELL CAN HE BE CUTE!!!)

The said Uchiha however, remains drowned in his own work as Naruto flutters in dreamland. Onyx eyes focus on the open scroll of his work, a peek of his tongue stuck out as he concentrates.

After the moment of tensed silence, Naruto finally managed to calm down and proceed to focus on his-

"I'VE DONE IT!!!"

Well, screw that because a particular Uzumaki jumped up and bashed his head on the ceiling, leaving a dent of his head in place.

Poor Sasuke had to stare at the fallen Uzumaki with a large bum on his head, clueless of what had just happened and totally unaware of the incident he just made.

Just as Sasuke was about to ask, Kianza walks in and Naruto mentally screams with relief. Kianza on the other hand, blinks rapidly of the scene before him.

"..... I don't want to know....." Kianza simply said and turns his gaze to the youngest of them "And what's with the sudden yell, Otouto?"

"Nii-san!" Sasuke's confusion abruptly changed to excitement, grabbing the scroll and hands it to Kianza "I did it!! I solved the riddle to that Lightning technique that you wanted to teach me!!!!"

Kianza calmly takes the scroll carefully and scans the contents, smiling at the skillful writing of his brother.

"Well done, Otouto...." Kianza said as he pats the youngest's hair "You have done a marvelous job...."

"Arigatou, Nii-san....."

"Why not you go outside and summon Alpha-kun (The head wolf of the Wolf Summoning) and teach you the basics first...." Kianza suggests with a smile "After all, having the original assistant of the creator to teach you is better......"

"Hai!!"

The youngest swept all his forgotten equipments and the scroll in a fast rate, waving at Kianza and the still dazed Naruto before he runs off.

Naruto sighs with relief and sits up slowly, rubbing his head. His eyes look up, meeting Kianza's gaze above him. His insides froze at the sudden change of expression, the smile earlier wiped clean from the youthful face.

"Uh....." Naruto begins nervously "I-I can explain-"

"No need, I've seen everything...." Kianza replies flatly "Either way.... That's not I came back for...."

"Then...."

".... We got a mission...." And Sharingan eyes stare at sky blues ".... They've discovered one of Akatsuki's bases...."
