Alone (Sasunaru)

Chapter 6

A scream suddenly ripped through the air. 

Sarada! Chocho!

-----------

A figure leapt in front of Sarada and Chocho and grabbed Sarada by the scarf. The only natural thing when some strange person just jumps in front of you is to scream. Chocho did exactly that.

Sarada was in tears. This strange man in a cloak grabbed her by her shirt. and was holding a kunai near her throat. Suddenly a yellow flash appeared in front of her and grabbed her by the arm, to be thrown safely into Sasuke's arms. Then the yellow flash punched the figure on the cheek causing the hoodie to fly off. The figure jumped back a few metres and wiped his cheek. It was all a blur to Sarada but when her vision cleared, the sight before her shocked both her and Chocho. 

There stood right before her was a woman with bright yellow hair sparkling in the sun. The woman's hair was in pigtails and she had a cloak on. 

Seventh Hokage.

"Hokage....sama..." Sarada said slowly. Chocho was speechless.

The yellow figure turned around and saw Sarada. Sarada's eyes widened. Sparkling blue eyes. They were so.....blue. Like the sky. What Sarada saw before her was a masterpiece. It was the Hokage without her hat on.

A woman in her twenties with yellow hair. Messy but beautiful. Blue distressed eyes. Tanned skin with the whiskered birthmarks on her face. There was no mistake. That was the mysterious Seventh Hokage. Naruko's face relaxed when she saw Sarada and Chocho safe. Naruko then turned back to the figure.

There was a man with bluish skin with Sharingan eyes embedded in his head, arm and eyes and the kid Naruko encountered earlier: Uchiha Shin. The other figure wore an all too familiar cloak to Naruko and Sasuke. A black cloak with red clouds that had a white lining on them. It reached up to the stranger's knees. 

The Akatsuki. The dawn. Such a beautiful thing to see..but deadly at the same time.

The figure wiped the blood from his lips and stared right into Naruko's eyes. 

"Let's go Shin.."

Then he suddenly threw knives at Naruko but Naruko then deflected it with the Kyuubi's chakra.  The older man smiled and had the Mangekyo Sharingan ready in one of his eyes and then the knives spun back.

"Tch!" Naruko put up a Kyuubi barrier to protect Sarada and Chocho. "I'll leave it to you Sasuke!"

Sasuke leapt up and so did the older man and Shin. Sasuke had his sword ready in his hand and the older man just smiled and threw many knives at Sasuke as they were falling down. 

"Dad!"

Sasuke had his Sharingan ready and deflected all the knives with his sword. Shin then suddenly put his hand in front of Sasuke's face. Sasuke thrust his sword into the man's hand. The Mangekyo Sharingan on the older man's head started to react to the blood being shed on the hand. Then the little boy, Shin jumped out from behind the older man and had a huge shuriken in one hand and a scroll in the other. Sasuke's Rinnegan suddenly activated and he switched SHin and his positions so then the Sauske would have the higher ground. Sasuke the did a tiger hand sign.

"Fire style: Fireball jutsu!"

A huge fireball then came towards the older man but then Shin shifted in the way of the fireball, protecting the older man. Naruko observed this from a distance.

"Is that his Visual Prowess?.." Naruko mumbled to herself. The fireball exploded and the enemy fell to the ground while Sasuke landed right next to Naruko inside the Kyuubi barrier. Sasuke glared at Shin and the older man with his Rinnegan showing. 

"Woooww... Dad's amazing.." Sarada said. 

"Yeah..but this is nothing compared to back then.." Naruko said remembering their adventure back when the Fourth War was still going on. The older man suddenly stood up and spoke.

"I see.. Uchiha Sasuke..That's definitely something I want to revive the Akatsuki..."

"Who are you?"Naruko asked. The older man chuckled.

"My name is...Uchiha Shin."

"Uchiha Shin...that's the same name as that little boy.." Sarada said.

"Uchiha Sasuke! You will pay for what you have done with Itachi-sama! But that's okay because I will revive him! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!" The older Shin started laughing hysterically. 

Itachi?....
