Chapter 67- Naruko's Determination!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/Bijuu speech..."

'Kyuubi communicating with Naruko inside her head...'

'Kyuubi's thoughts, Naruko can't hear...'

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Ho Sharingan..." Kisame spoke up in amusement as he looked back at Sasuke, who glared fiercely at Itachi in hate. "You seem to be familiar with Itachi... Who is this guy?"

Sasuke just continued to glare at Itachi, who wasn't even looking at him.

"He is my... younger brother." Itachi stated emotionless while looking at the heavily breathing Naruko with well-hidden concern.

Naruko bit on her lip at that as sweat began to run down her face. 'S-So i-it's really true?! Tachi-nii is Sasuke's brother... So, did he really....' She gulped as her distressed emotion began to whirl up more and more inside her.

Kyuubi stopped shifting around in her mindscape and stiffened. 'Definitely not good... What do I do?! If she continues to get more and more distressed, it's sure that she will tap into my chakra unwillingly, and so the minimal control she has over it, will be lost completely...' His thoughts began to race as he searched for a solution.

"...I heard the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out..." Kisame spoke up seriously as he looked at his comrade. "By you..."

Naruko clenched her fists as she noticed how Itachi's and Sasuke's eyes were shadowed over at that. 'I-It's true... I-It really i-is true... The man Sasuke wants to kill... is really Tachi-nii! ...H-He wants to kill...' Memories of the time she had with her ANBU guard crow flooded into her head just as Itachi turned around and two Sharingan users glared intensively at each other. Naruko gritted her teeth and closed her eyes for a split moment as she relived her memories of how she knows Itachi is like. 'The way Tachi-nii always enjoyed my company when I was feeling lonely... The way his eyes softened when he heard I did something stupid... He and Kashi teaching me how to write and read because the orphanage didn't even try to teach me this... Tachi-nii speaking in such a loving and caring voice when he tells me about his younger brother... He and Kashi saving me from this kidnapper that wanted to bring me out of the village... The utterly sad look Tachi-nii gave me when he got to know how the other kids avoided me and never wanted to be near me...'

Sasuke narrowed his eyes as a burning fire of hatred enflamed in them while he remembered the day of the Uchiha massacre. "I've been wanting to say this to you... I've lived hating you... And also... THAT I LIVED ONLY TO KILL YOU!" He shouted at him as a distinct chirping sound could be heard while Sasuke's face was crunched up with hatred as lightning chakra lightened his face.

For a split moment, disappointment could be seen pass through Itachi's eyes as Sasuke said that before he was back to his emotionless facade and stared at him calmly.

Naruko opened her eyes at that in shock, recognizing that sound everywhere. 'Chidori?!' She clenched one of her fists more tightly and decided.

"I HAVE LIVED FOR THIS!" Sasuke roared as the lightning chakra fully engulfed his left hand and it was so strong this time that his skin began to peel off.
