The Acrimony Anomaly [Naruto Fanfic]

Forgotten Times

     They continued their journey with an awkward silence. Not only did one of their teammates try to commit suicide, but they found that someone else had also 'tried' it. Finally, Sasuke couldn't take it any longer.

     "What the hell did he mean when he said that you tried to commit suicide?!"

     She pressed on, ignoring her twin brother. Gritting her teeth, Tsubaki mentally scowled at her old friend/enemy. 

      The Uchiha male grabbed her arm tightly and forced her to turn around, "Why aren't you answering me?!"

     "Tsubaki-chan, why?!" Naruto yelled, "How can you do that?! ... How can you be so selfish...?"

      'Genma' nervously approached the two siblings, "C-come on, you have to understand that she needs spac-."

     "You!" he exclaimed furiously, pointing at he Suna boy, "How could you have known about it before us?! I don't know how she became so trusting of you so fast, but there's something going on here... What are you not telling me?! Why are you wearing those clothes-?!"

     "Duck!" Kakashi yelled.

    Everyone dropped down, except for Tsubaki. A huge sword was gracefully launched into the air and straight at her. Instead, the kunoichi grabbed the sword... And broke it, snapping it in half. "Why does everyone question me? Why doesn't anyone trust me?"

     There was a rough sound of pleading and desperation to her voice. It was raw anguish and what was now coming through was... Hatred. The atmosphere changed dramatically and the chakra emanating from her was monstrous. The disgruntled look on their faces said everything.

"Ｔｈｉｓ  ｗｏｒｌｄ．．． Ｎｅｅｄｓ  ｔｏ  ｂｅ  ｒｅｍａｄｅ．"

     Her head snapped into the direction the of the unsuspecting Zabuza. The aura surrounding her wasn't the normal bloodlust at all. It wasn't the want for blood, but the want for death. 

     "Tsubaki..." Hashirama muttered nervously.

     Her attention then turned to him, her three tomoe sharingan boring into him. "And you... I should've killed you while you were weak. How pathetic of I to fall that low..."

     Cursing, he summoned up his Mokuton, trying to trap her in the tendrils of wood, "Dammit, snap out of it! You're better than this!"

     "Shut up, you fucking Senju!" She howled, blasting the area with fire, "They all betrayed me! Every single one! I had no one! You had your wife, a brother... WHAT ABOUT ME?!"

     "I'm still your friend!"

     "Lies! A friend would keep things to themselves!"

     "You know me, that it's just a slip of the tongue."

     "But I still trusted you."

     "I'm sorry..."

     "That still doesn't fix anything."

     "I know."

     "I'm losing everyone all over again."

     "... I know."

     Tears prickled at the corner of her eyes, "Your brother killed him."

     "..."

     At the silence, she scowled, "You're no better than him then."
