FF NaLu and SasuSaku

Ultimate Anbu test

A man stood there, high and mighty, giving no sign of fear as he listened to the warning.

"From here on out, it'll be dangerous."

As if that'll scare the pants off Uchiha Sasuke, the last lineage of the Uchiha Clan. Finally being able to accomplish his vengeful goal, with Itachi's head as a trophy, Sasuke feared no one. Not the dead bodies that he sees everyday, neither the live ones lurking in the shadows. No one.

"Are you sure to continue the ANBU test?"

"Yes." No doubt.

"Even though it's at the cost of your life?"

Sasuke gave an unenthusiastic nod. "Aa."

"You might die."

Uchiha Sasuke had killed an Akatsuki member, the yielder of the strong Mangekyou Sharingan. He's been in battles where his body was buried half on the grave and he came out barely alive, but still alive. Surely, risking his life was not an issue here.

"We won't be liable for your death."

He sneered, growing impatient.

How could he? How could they presume that the last and final part of the ANBU exam could kill him? He, the—Uchiha Sasuke. Haven't they seen him in action, in the battlefield where his strength is put to the test? He might actually be more skilled than all the the ANBU combined.

"I'm not going to die." Sasuke stated as if it was an obvious fact.

With that assurance alone, the man whose face was hidden in the wolf mask standing in front of the door gave a curt nod and stepped aside.

"You may enter."

It might have been a while since Sasuke had started walking aimlessly in the dark alley. With no form of any light to guide the way, the alleyway gave a cold and dark ambiance. But Sasuke couldn't care less.

He had survived the first three parts of ANBU exam. Being able to pass those grueling, mind-blowing and exhausting tests is already an achievement. From the ninety Jounins who applied for the exam, only three have survived—he and two others (Neji and Shino) he couldn't bother to remember.

All he needed to do is focus on the last part of the ANBU test, pass it and he'll officially prove those sucker ANBUs that he can easily achieve the same title. And they could all bow down to his mighty strength.

There, on the far end of the alley, he could visualize another opening. Sasuke snorted. This must be the intellectual part of the test. The ability to see the end of a long mission. Growing irritated and slightly impatient, Sasuke ran to the end of the dark alley.

"Yo!" Hatake Kakashi greeted as he emerged from the shadows. From what it looks like, he's waiting. "I knew you'd reach up until here, Sasuke." He happily chirped as he tore his eyes from his hentai book namely Icha Icha Paradise.

It took Sasuke a minute or two to finally grasp the concept of the last part of the test. "I'm supposed to fight you." He declared, activating his Sharingan and preparing his fighting stance. He looked around, noting the fact that no one else except the two of them were inside the room. "A one-on-one battle, it seems." He smirked. It wasn't a bad idea to fight the famous copy-cat ninja. A true test of his strength if he'd surpassed the teacher.

"You've been doing a lot of fighting since the first part of the exam, Sasuke." The silver-haired sensei of team 7 stated, eyeing his scratches, wounds and bruises that came in different sizes and shapes sprawled on Sasuke's body. "For the last part, we'll be doing something quite different."
