"What?" Sasuke asked incredulously, his eyebrows raised. He had heard of the CRA, years ago; it was an old practice the village used to revive a clan that had been wiped out or dispersed. Kakashi had informed him that this was a likely possibility for him, but he never thought it would actually happen.

"The Clan Restoration Act. Given the circumstances, we have selected a small group of age-appropriate women to recieve your seed and bear your children." One of the elders said. The majority winced at her brunt terminology.

Sasuke was confused; why had they decided to do this now? A sudden thought disturbed and confused him even more. Sakura..

"Wait...I'm married. Isn't it illegal to enact the CRA with a married individual?" He questioned. The male elder, Homura, snorted.

"True as that may be, we can make exceptions." He said coldly, glaring at the former 'Uchiha Prodigy', whom they all used to herald as a tragic hero.

"Uh-huh. Then why the fuck are you making an exception?" He asked, annoyed.

One of the civilian leaders scowled. "Watch your language, boy. You've lost all credibility when you decided to join that snake, Orochimaru. Respect your superiors." He sneered, causing the Uchiha's blood to boil. He still had problems with ranking; he had grown out of his egotistical 'Uchiha are superior' way of thinking, but having a civilian, whom he could kill with a flick of wrist, scorn and belittle him, it generally pissed him off.

"Sasuke...word has spread about your marriage. It's failing...isn't it?" The Haruno leader, Kizashi, stated sadly. Sasuke glanced at Sakura's father; the man was extraordinarily kind, and when he asked for his daughter's hand in marriage, he didn't outright deny it.

Sasuke felt guilty, still; he had two attempts on Sakura's life when he had lost his mind to revenge and his bloodline. How her father managed to see the light in him, he couldn't tell. He's like the dobe...he can find the good in anyone.

"Hai, Haruno-san. Things...haven't been working out between us...but I hoped to fix it soon." He admitted. He didn't feel like explaining what the problem was; even he wasn't quite sure what it was.

Perhaps he was just jealous over how sad Sakura seemed to be over Naruto, and that caused him to think irrationally. But then again; he never thought irrationally. So why isn't it going well between us? Are...we just having a simple spat over nothing? Or is the situation worse than that?

He was cut off by his musings by a shrill voice. "Well. So the rumors were true." The female elder remarked, before shuffling out a folder of papers. Tsunade had walked over to Sasuke, and whispered into his ear.

"Sasuke..I'm sorry for this. I couldn't reason with them." She said, and he gave her a confused look before the elder cleared her throat, a scowl on her face.

"Sasuke, your marriage with Sakura Uchiha, former Haruno, is now annulled." Koharu said, causing Sasuke's jaw to drop. What the fuck?

What the fuck?!

Naruto had to force himself to not throw up. He held his katana in one hand, and a kunai in the other as he walked into the dimly lit area.

The sight was horrible. It was a large room; Naruto compared it to the size of the dojo the Chuunin exam preliminaries were held, all those years ago.

On the left side, there was three rows of tables; all of them had bodies on them. Men, women, children; it didn't matter. Their corpses were all disfigured, mutilated or dismembered. Tanks of drugs and steroids lined the walls. They guessed that they were seeing if the drugs helped with pain, or prevented death.
