A Slayer's Confidant

Chapter 19

Alright! Two chapters left after this one. I'm sooooooo excited. I finally got to finish one of my new stories! I've also decided to make them all public because why not? Right? I don't think I care about the annoying rude comments that people sometimes give. I think I should focus on my readers and not worry about what other people think. That was the whole reason why I made my stories private well it was a little childish but I've decided to not make them private anymore.
Thank you so much for sticking with me, voting for my story and for commenting! Thank you so much for viewing my story at the very least. I'm sorry I put it on private due to my fears. That wasn't okay. I hope you enjoy these final three chapters 19-21. Please enjoy, share with other SasuNaru fans and comment! Love you all! Bye!

Sasuke stared at the peaceful sleeping face of Naruto. It had already been two and a half days since the last battle. He had hoped that Naruto would not be able to fight. This made him feel relieved that the blonde -everyone - was back in one piece. Honestly he was satisfied with everything. The one think he he truly had to figure out was how to explain everything to Naruto now that he remembered most of his memories.

Still Orochimaru was out there, full strength back but now full power. Somehow, he felt a wave of energy drift into the abyss of the blue sky. He felt as if something wasn't right being as Karin would come to terrorize them. The problem was when he had looked up he saw one of Tayuya's little demons. Leiko. Pale, weak and vulnerable. Sasuke frowned raising a brow. "What happened to you?" He asked merely out of curiosity. No worry was expressed whatsoever.

Leiko's eyes casted down at the floor. Her eyes seemed vacant. Sasuke wondered what was going on. "Lady Tayuya has fallen. So have Lord Suigetsu and Lady Karin. Orochimaru still stands triumphant over his victories in killing them. My brothers and I, being under our masters control we have not long to live for our lifeline is Lady Tayuya herself." Leiko explained. "My brothers are dead. They were destroyed by Orochimaru himself. It won't be long before I slowly begin to disappear as well."

Sasuke glanced at the huge gash in her arm. She's fading away... He thought, shocked. Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her. Were her words true? Was she speaking the truth. Leiko let out a pain filled cry, her hands covering her ears. Sasuke grabbed the unconscious Naruto and began to run out the door. Passing Tsunade who had been walking towards Naruto's room, the blonde woman's eyes widened as she turned to see Sasuke with Naruto in his arms. "Sasuke!" She shouted. "What are you doing with Naruto?" She demanded, following them. Sasuke mouthed to her to look over her shoulder. Tsunade's has dropped, as she noticed one of Tayuya's Demons following them. What? What is she doing here? Picking up speed, she managed to catch up with Sasuke.

"How did she get pass you?" Tsunade inquired. Sasuke noticed the suspicion in her voice. She knew better than to trust someone of the demon race but her thoughts changed when Sasuke explained himself.

"Don't worry. She explained herself. She's doing this not of her free will." Tsunade frowned. Mind control. I should have known... "Don't apologize for a misunderstanding. She seemed harmless to me considering while she was explaining herself she was injured." Sasuke smiled at the blonde woman. "I admire your caring personality," Tsunade's lips curved up, happy that Sasuke finally began to trust them and be that same Sasuke that he was when Naruko was alive. Glad you're back, Sasuke. "Tsunade, Sasuke said. Tsunade looked up at him, her hazel eyes meeting his determined onyx eyes.

"Yes?" She answered, pausing her footsteps just as he did. "What is it?" She asked, waiting for the demon to reply. Sasuke handed Naruto over to Tsunade who took the unconscious boy into her arms, surprised. "Why are you- what exactly are you planning Uchiha?"

"Ending this once and for all. Orochimaru is going down and I'll take him on myself if I have to." Sasuke retorted, lunging toward Leiko, fire surrounding his fist. Tsunade shook her head.
