My Little Raven: Dark Rebirth

Tears and Goodbyes

Sasuke pov

My eyes were shut tight, if I were still alive then there's no doubt I would be in tremendous pain. It happened in an instant, right before Sarada hit the ground I used what was left of my chakra to switch with her. Now it was me and Akatsu laying in a crater, my arms now piles of ash. "Very swift move, Uchiha." He groaned. It is hard to believe but he actually looked worse then I did. Both his arms were bent at painful looking angles, he was even missing a leg. "Well....I wasn't much help. My daughter pushed herself far beyond her limits to beat you." I said.
"You should be proud." he replied with a groan. Turning my head I saw Sakura bent over Sarada, who didn't seem to be moving. "For what it's worth.....I'm sorry."

Those words seemed like the things the rational Akatsu would have said. "Darling." Diana was now awake and crouched beside her dying lover. "Hey love.....I'm afraid this will be the last time we get to....talk." He said. I tuned out their conversation, the pain racked my body. Closing my eyes I readied myself to fall into the dark when a voice said, "Wake up please!"

Akatsu pov

My life flashed before my eyes, my mentor and then the smiling face of my love. I would miss them. Once that girl had me bound I knew it was over. When I hit the ground my arms twisted and broke, the pain seemed to knock me out of power hungry mindset. Looking over I saw Sasuke laying beside me, chuckling I knew that I had been one hundred percent defeated.

After that Sasuke and I chatted, our once bitter rivalry now a team once again. His daughter may Have defeated me but I finally realized that he wasn't in the best of shape. His reanimated body had begun to fade, turning back into flimsy paper. His family would end up falling apart without him, next thing I know Diana was crouched over me crying her eyes out, "Look at you....your a mess darling." She huffed.  "Hey love.....I'm afraid this will be the last time we get to....talk."  I managed to get out. She began to sob, reaching out I took a hold of her and pulled her into a hug. "It'll be ok love. We'll see each other again."
"Wake up!" a voice echoed threw the battlefield. I looked over to see Sakura trying to wake up Sasuke. Maybe a lost cause. I told myself.

Sakura pov

"Wake up! Please! Please wake up! I can't live without you!" I screamed as I held Sarada in my arms, there was no visible damage to her except a few scraps and bruises; the real pain was underneath with a fractured wrist and a few broken ribs and torn muscles. She stupidly pushed her own limits by using a jutsu that she only saw used once then added more strain on herself by adding her own flare. If it wasn't thanks to Sasuke, Sarada may not even be here right now. Looking over to the cloud of settling dust I hoped Sasuke survived the impact.

"Mmm.....Mom?" Sarada groaned while blinking a few times. Hugging her tightly to my chest I sobbed, "Thank god your ok! You worried me!" I yelled while squeezing her. "Mom....your hurting me..." I pulled back.
"Right. I'm sorry, I'm just so happy your ok." Sitting up, she took off her broken glasses. "What about dad, is he ok?" That question stumped me, again looking over at the carnage I saw that some of Sasuke's limbs had turned to paper. "Go to dad. I'll be fine here." Without another word I stood and ran to his side.

"Wake up!" I cried. It was always at these times that I felt useless. There was no way I could help him, the only thing I could do was just be at his side. "You never looked good when you cried." He muttered with a smirk. My same old raven laid staring up at me, his body slowly disappearing.

"Sasuke....." The words wouldn't come. "It's ok. I love you Sakura Uchiha." There it was again, my last name; No, our last name. "I love you too, Sasuke Uchiha." Tears streaked down my cheeks.
"Heh, who's the loser now. Your not going anywhere Uchiha."
Akatsu stood a few feet away, plunging his hand deep into his chest he pulled out the three pieces of Kaguya's pearl he had taken along with a diamond and emerald. "With these pearls Sasuke Uchiha shall live again."
He drew back his fist then slammed it right into Sasuke's chest. The pearls disappeared into his skin, in a wave of energy his appendages returned with one distinct difference. They were flesh and blood. He was alive again.

Sarada pov

I watched with a mixture of fatigue and admiration as Akatsu sacrificed the pearls to bring back my dad. Raising his hand he sighed, "I return the diamond of Erubus and the emerald of Nyx back to their rightful place." Bringing down his hand the stones sank into the ground. The broken and burnt buildings around us began to repair themselves, the whole village was repairing itself. Falling to a knee he started breathing heavily, "You truly bested me young Uchiha."
"No one says bested anymore. They call it getting your butt kicked." I said while walking over to him. I stood in front of him watching him slowly fade away, without the pearls his body wouldn't last much longer.

"Heh, I guess they don't. Any way, you truly kicked my ass but I want to thank you. You brought me back to my senses, even at the cost of getting wounded yourself." I was smiling now, proud of his words about me, "I didn't beat you alone. I couldn't have done it alone." He nodded at my comment. Diana held him close to her body, "Don't lose to anyone ever again. If you do I'll come back and haunt you." He joked. Nodding I turned away giving Diana her final moments with her beloved.

My legs gave out, I was so tired that I fell forward into someone. Looking up I saw dad smiling at me. Wrapping his arm around me he pulls mom into a hug with us. "I love you my little raven."

               ~6 months later~

It's been six months since Akatsu passed, the village and my family were broken and healed during our battle, now here I stand staring at my reflection in the mirror once again. "You look fine, if we don't hurry you'll be late. Boruto is waiting." Mom said from behind me, fixing my headband I rearranged my glasses before settling with my look. I headed out the door and onto my way to officially become a chunin. Knowing my mother and father, who was going to be watching with the hokage would support me.

"Jump!" My teammate Mitsuki yelled. Grabbing Boruto's hands he swung me around before letting go, sending my sailing straight up into the air above the fight. Our opponents were none other than my rival from the rose village and still she used that rose cannon jutsu. Blasting Mitsuki back, Boruto made a few shadow clones, "Imma kick your butts!" he yelled. Activating my sharigan I waited until I was close enough then activated my curse mark, landing beside my rival we engaged in a hand to hand fight. My movements were more refined, her's were sloppy but fast. "Take this!!" From the ground a huge rose sprouted from under me trapping me like a fly trap. "Exploding bloody Mary!" With a bright blinding flash the flower imploded.

Willing my chakra warrior around me the explosion didn't effect me. My rival stood there with her two teammates dumbfounded. Winking at her I willed a strong electrical current outward toward them; Boruto and Mitsuki joined in, together we took them out and secured our places in the chunin ranks. I am now one step closer to becoming as great of a shinobi as my father.

A/N: Thank you for reading and commenting. P.S. I know I said the first chapter of Life as a teenage gangster would be published the same day as this one but because of how long it may take I don't want you all to be left hanging for so long do I want ahead and published the last chapter of this story but as a thanks for reading all the way till the end I will give you a preview of Life as a teenage gangster's first chapter. Enjoy and thanks for waiting.

For a long time there has been peace threw out the city of Konaha.Well that was until the third great gang war between gangs far and wide, the city of Konaha has always been a war zone and it's most fearsome gang, the Uchiha were the ring leaders. Our story though revolves around the life of high school student and one of the heirs of the Uchiha gang, Sasuke Uchiha.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Ugh...." rolling over my hand smashed the snooze button of my alarm. Rubbing my eyes I stared up at my dark ceiling, sun light peeked in threw the gap between the curtains giving the room a soft morning light glow. Sitting up and tossing my legs over the side of my bad I stifled a yawn. "You bastard!" Came a loud yell from the room next to mine, it had to be my loud mouth of an older brother, Itachi. "I was in first then you go and throw that damn blue shell!? Asshole!" He yelled again leaving me to guess he was playing a game with a friend. Looking over at the clock I sighed as it was time to get ready for school. As if I had a reason to go, no one but that stupid blond, Naruto hangs out with me thanks to my family. Oh yeah.....did I mention I'm the son of a gang leader?
