Uchihas

"Thank you, Sasuke, thank you for letting them go," [y/n] sighed as she watched team 7 dispatch, it was a struggle to convince them to do so, but nonetheless they left. Sasuke suddenly appeared beside her, a black expression on his face. He also watched them go, not feeling a single emotion. The last Uchihas together at last.

"Why didn't you come in the first place?" Sasuke faces his cousin.

"I was kidnapped believe it or not," she laughed lightly, also turning her body to face him.

"By who?"

"Stop acting like you care, and let's just get to what you want me here for,"

"Yeah, Sasuke, we don't have all day!" Naruto suddenly appeared beside [y/n].

"Yeah, we really—NARUTO?!?" [y/n] put her body in front of his, to shield him from Sasuke.

"I TOLD YOU TO GO!" the female Uchiha yelled in agitation.

"Naruto don't expect [y/n], to keep me from killing you, I suggest you leave before I snap your neck," Sasuke spat as he walked closer to the shielded Uzumaki.

"What's your damn problem, Sasuke?! What has Naruto ever done to you!?" the eldest cousin yelled, her eyes transforming into her Sharingan. Sasuke grabbed [y/n] by the neck, as his eyes began to glow red.

"You think you can talk to me like that," his grip tightening around her trachea.

"Sasuke, let her go!" Naruto pushed the male Uchiha off of [y/n].

"Stop Naruto, let me fight my own battles," [y/n] pulled the Uzumaki away.

"Sasuke, let's settle this now, one on one you and me, and if I win, you have to stop trying to kill everyone!" [y/n] placed her hand out as she tried to strike a deal.

"Hmm, and if I win...you'll kill him," Sasuke devilishly grinned.

"Deal."

"[y/n]!!" Naruto gasped, feeling very uncomfortable with his life being waged around by them.

"Naruto, I care for you too much to allow you to die," [y/n] smiled while tossing him her anbu mask.

"Prove it then," Sasuke pulled his katana out.

"Let's do this little cousin," [y/n] pulled a single kunai out, twirling it around her pointer finger, and as soon as she caught the kunai handle, Sasuke vanished. [y/n] took in a deep breath, closing her eyes in the process.

Right side.

[y/n] eyes shot open as she flipped around, kicking her foot out, leaving Sasuke to smash his stomach into it. She leaned backward, dodging his katana smoothly. Her free hand grips his wrist, nearly shattering it as she threw him over her head. The kunai she wielded lightly scratches his cheek. [y/n] wanted to make sure she was the first to draw blood.

Sasuke landed on his feet gracefully, and when [y/n] realized that she flickers away and reappeared behind him. Using her wood release to create wooden roots to plant Sasuke on the ground. Sasuke instantly created his chidori blade and cut himself loose.

"That won't work again," Sasuke scoffs, aiming the lighting blade point-blank towards [y/n]. Who quickly vanished away from his wrath.

This might be harder than anticipated.

[y/n] then produce her after images as distractions, while she used her body flicker technique to appear from above. She concentrated a vast amount of Chakra into her fist and hurdle down towards Sasuke.

Sasuke shot his eyes up a smug on his face as he began to place her in a genjutsu, but [y/n] gave him a smile as her sharingan completely deflected the genejustu, and she landed her powerful blow onto his shoulder. She, of course, didn't want to kill her cousin, but to injure him enough to end the fight.

"Ugh!" Sasuke choked out as he and [y/n] collided into the rugged ground. A cloud of dirt filled the area, [y/n] then pulled her kunai and directly aiming it at his neck.

"I see, you bypassed my genejustu," Sasuke coughed lightly, while [y/n] began to tie down her cousin with wooden roots again.

"Why?" [y/n]'s vision was blurring again as she now hovered her cousin.

"Why didn't you understand?"

"Why was it so hard for you to comprehend?"

"That no matter how rough things get, you have me? I'm your damn blood! Yet you don't seem to understand the values of family anymore," [y/n]'s eyes began to bleed.

"It's not like you did either," Sasuke groaned in pain as [y/n]'s wooden roots began to suppress his chakra.

"But I allowed myself to understand, that's the difference between you and me! I finally let people in, and I trusted them," Naruto began to walk towards the two Uchihas.

"You have me, and you have him," [y/n] pointed at the Uzumaki.

"Team 7 and I still believe in you, Sasuke, maybe you can understand that," [y/n] sighed tiredly as Naruto crouched beside her.

"She's right Sasuke, we have never stopped believing in you," Naruto wrapped his arm around the female Uchiha.

"Bonds is what makes us stronger little cousin,"
[y/n] smiled at the blurry mess in front of her. At that moment, Sasuke finally started to connect the dots. He acknowledged that [y/n] was still stronger than he was, and that was because she has bonds that she would die for before anyone could ever sever them.

"So, will you come back?" Naruto spoke as [y/n] began to heal her eyes again.

"I-I have to kill Itachi," Sasuke was overwhelmed with emotion.

"About that, I have a perfect plan," Naruto smiled.

"We don't only take out Itachi, but the Akatsuki all together!" Naruto jumped up with excitement.

"It will be a battle! And we will need many of our comrades, but ending them is our main objective," he continued while thoughtfully rubbing his chin.

"I can't j-just g-go b-back to the village without punishments, w-what if th-they don't let me join the b-battle," Sasuke spoke, his body in pain form [y/n]s justsu.

"I'll deal with that," [y/n] began to let her cousin go.

"But you have to promise you're not going to cause anyone harm from here on out because I will not hesitate to do the punish you myself," the eldest Uchiha gave him a threatening glare.

"Hmph," Sasuke rolled his eyes as he pushed himself up.

"That's the spirit!" [y/n] smiled, and for the first time, she embraced her cousin into a hug.
