Sasuke arc

with Sakura

Opening her mouth she screamed:" THERE IS A PEEPING TOM! GET OUT, LADIES!" Quickly all women left and sad weeping was heard from the other side of the wall. Grabbing a few stones l, she jumped over to the wall to face Jiraya. Her blood was boiling.

Oh, she hated that man more than the fourth Hokage.

Filled with bloodlust she glared at him only to get confused looks from him:" I was only staring at the women not a brat like you. No need to use Killer's intent at me. I mean no evil to you! Sorry in case you feel hurt!" Sakura threw the stones she had picked up and quickly hanged her arms down in agony. Her muscles were still aching. At least her chakra was fine. Quickly the hair of the Toad sage wrapped itself around him:" You need to do better than that brat to get me one of the legendary Saninn Jiraya! Anyways! As I said I only like the busty elderly women! You are still a child!" Angry she stretched her burning arms and ran over to a nearby tree and ripped it out from the ground. This pervert ruined Naruto's life!

When the Sanin saw what she was going to do, he fell into a massive panic attack:" WHAT AH! PLEASE I DIDN'T MEAN IT! Calm down brat. Wait. But such power and large forehead...You are like that woman..."

The man jumped back from the incoming tree stump. The Toad Sage was astonished. This cheer power! He needed to investigate this girl later. Suddenly he felt two incoming Kunais from the right. He dodged them again.

" Need help maggot? I can see you strong but beating this leech will be difficult. Kurenai do it!" Suddenly he got trapped into a Genjustu.

The blond rubbed his eyes as he stared into the grinning fox.

´Not a morning person, brat? Thinking of your nice warm bed or of your dream hunting down pork chop ramen?'

" Shut up Kurama. Anyways how are you feeling today?"

´Bored but fine. By the way, brat I slowly repaired the chakra lost. You will be back on track soon. '

" Thanks, Kurama. Hunting pork chop ramen is fun and delicious, jerk."

Going out of his mental state he looked towards the busy streets of Konoha. Closing his medical jacket and pulling over his hoodie he sipped on his lukewarm coffee. He needed to pick up some packages for the hospital and check on the pharmacy. Then he noticed something. Someone following him. He had that feeling when he was sitting down and had their meeting yesterday night. But this presence was sinister. The person who followed him and Sasuke last night had a calm presence. This one was intending to kill him.

' Brat. This is bad. Whatever is following you feels very very bad. Watch out!'

Naruto picked up his pace and bounced into someone. He looked up. It was Sasuke! The raven boy smiled:" Hi there. I am going to pick up Sakura. See you in the Hospl-hm?" The Uchiha noticed Naruto's cold stare:" Sasuke. What is my favorite color?" Taken aback the Uchiha boy laughed:" You ask silly things Aniki. It is blue, right?" He got a punch as an answer. Stumbling backward his henge released. Naruto stared into an Anbu mask guy who quickly took off. The presence behind him jumped towards him. Ducking he rolled to the side. Losing his delicious coffee that was spilled all over. His mood got worse. His delicious coffee! The people on the street ran in all directions when they heard the puff smoke of the henge. The man that followed him leaped towards him and exploded into black smoke. Odd.

The shockwave catapulted Naruto against a house wall. His head was shaking and his vision got blurry for a sec.

' Hang on. I am starting to heal your internal damages. That could have been the Explosion release or maybe it was just explosion tags? Also, I have noticed the Shinobi's the last day in the hospital have typical explosion release wounds. But...why?'

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and spoke quietly:" We could be at war. Probably with Iwa. I do not know when and how but my guess is that hey think thanks to the storm that our military prowess is weakened. That explains why the Academy is not opened yet and these increased security! This is all my fault." Rolling his sleeves he started to rub his glowing green hands onto his forehead. There was one thing bothering him. Who was the Sasuke imposter? Was he working together with the suicide attacker? " Naruto Haruno. Hang in there!l" His eyes caught a few Anbu's approaching. Blood was dripping from his ears. Moving his head he signaled them to step back as he stood up again:" I am fine I just need coffee and a sandwich."

With Sakura.

The pink-haired girl stared at the blue and green beaten up pervert who hung upside down a tree tied to angry snakes. With a big grin and peace sign, she stared at the two helpers. Both had black hair. One had red and the other had black eyes. As they returned to the thermal bath, the red-eyed Kunochi spoke up:" My name is Kurenai. That is Anko and you are?" " Sakura." Anko's eyes widened at her:" As in Sakura Haruno? Oh, I heard lots about you from my shisho. You are quite famous along the Shinobi ranks these days." " Thanks but you two are quite the Kunochies as well. I hope I can become exceptional like you two too. See ya around." After a small talk, the pink went out and got picked up by Sasuke.

Naruto decided to tell his siblings about the attack but left Kabuto and Orochimaru out of the loop.

□□□With Itachi□□□□

He was baffled. The teen was sure he investigated Naruto enough. According to what he found the blond boy loved blue so what happened? Maybe the Aniki thing got him caught? Sighing, his eyes beamed up to Shisui who started to perform his Jutsu. Now he needed to focus on making that illusion strong. Rapidly his hands formed seals. Sasuke won't run away so that problems can be dealt with later, but the Clan will never hold their plans unless they finish their Jutsu.

Far from them, on the other side of Konoha, was an old Warhawk in a dark basement that stared in shock into his former puppets' lifeless eyes:" I can't believe it. Why? When did you- argh!" The mysterious voice maniacally grinned:" You buried your face too deep into the truth. Now you shall become my scapegoat when the time comes." " Are you the devi-" " Perhaps? It does not matter all I want is amass power. Even if I become inhuman."Loud explosions ensued.

◇ With Sakura ◇

Stretching herself she walked towards the training ground of the Hospital. Her shift was not over but she graved a worked out. She still needed to rebuild her muscles, after all, not moving for a whole week takes a toll on you. Once she stretched herself warm, she felt someone coming over.

" Training a bit Sakura? Would you mind if I could join or..?" Turning around she saw Orochimaru walk to the field. Wearing his Kimono and with a calm demeanor." It would be an honor, Lord Orochimaru. May I ask? Have you seen the theories of my new medical-nin Jutsu I put on your desk before the Storm? I have tested them and the theory works but I still wait on the seals. Just wanted to hear you put in?" The snake Sanin chuckled:" Kukuku. Oh my yes. Quite the revolutionary once. Theoretically, it must work. I had a similar idea back in my younger days. If you want I can give you my blueprints later. Say how long would it take you to finish these jutsus?"

The girl closed her eyes in thoughts:" Perhaps 3 to 4months at best. Depending on if I can get the licenses and the seals from Naruto. There are materials we can only get outside Konoha and right now. Right now there are not many high ranked Shinobi left to take simple B rank Mission. I do not trust Genins to guard me or to find these ingredients. They're rather delicate to pick up for cheap stuff. An on top we are being targeted. Or all ninja's out there, it's the medical staff. Why?" Walking in the opposite direction of the hospital director she wondered.

The adults were hiding something indeed. Was Konoha really at war with Iwa as Naruto suspected? What was happening?

The Saninn eyes looked over at the pink. She could not read him like her brothers. But she did catch something in his eyes. A look of worry or some sort? "Nothing. I would wish you could finish this sooner. Do not worry Sakura. Take time. This situation will be over soon anyway. Ready when you are. Come on, attack."

The director gestures her to attack him while standing tall with his hands down, bending his knees slightly forward into a defensive pose. Bowing respectfully, she went into her own fighting stands before dashing forward. Stretching out her arm she went for a punch towards his stomach area. The elder just dodged. Flying past him, she flipped around swung her right leg against his right shoulder, and use her other leg for the other shoulder. She was trying to get him into a judo throw. She knew that he was holding back and ordinary attacks won't bring him down so easily. Just as she expected the Snake user dodged and punched her making her fly a few spaces backward. Gasping at the amount of air coming out of her lungs, she flipped around and send chakra to her feet creating small cracks to the ground. " Oh. Was it too much for you or...?" " Oh, no no Orochimaru-sama. I would be grateful if you keep that pace, Sir." Pumping chakra to her lungs she got her breathing back. Once her flow of breathing got back she pushed herself from the ground, accelerating at him in a quick space she fainted to hit him to the left but flip around and landed a hit against his leg with her hand. The Sannin chuckled at her attitude to get him down. Not every day someone challenges him plus he needs to get in shape too for the upcoming battles.

○○○○○○●●●●With Sasuke. Time skip, next day ●●●○○○○

The boy was thinking about what he could say to his elder former brother to stop bothering his new family. He knew he was followed by someone the past 4 days but he had no idea until he remembered his encounter in the hospital. The sun was slowly rising on the horizon and the birds started chirping. Walking towards a waterfall he saw the familiar silhouette. Standing near the cliffs. Of course, he would be here. This is his secret training ground. Oh, he the man he could not stand. The man he used to get compared to all the time. Compared to him he looked ordinary. It pissed him off with his titles and names he had.

The Crimson flame genius of Konoha.

The prince of the Uchiha clan.

Anbu black ops Captain.

Itachi Uchiha.

But Itachi was not alone. Quickly, hiding his chakra flow, like he was taught by Kabuto, he ducked behind a tree. Eavesdropping was not his plan but Itachi was watching them too the last days. It's fair he got to know a few secrets from him too!

"It was close but we pulled it off somehow. We made it! The Uchiha clan will definitely not plan their coup de at now."

" But your right eye. It will be difficult to get it back to shape. We need a medical ninja who won't jank it out or try to steal the secret of your eye or clone it. It has to be someone we can trust. Talking about clan and secrets. There is something I need to ask you. Have you interacted with Sasuke while I was gone?"

Sasuke leaned out of his hiding spot to get a look at the scenery. It was Itachi and the other guy he used to hang out a lot. What was his name again? He had short black hair and an eye patch over his right eye. The one-eyed Uchiha turned to Itachi as he spoke up:

"Come to think of it. He did stop asking me to train him like years ago? Sorry I was busy keeping tabs on the Coup de at and Danzo. That Warhawk gives me the creeps. I never found proof or why, where, and how the young children have disappeared to, or how Danzo's connected to these cases. So I was hunting down answers over these cases and I was busy running the police task force too. But back to Sasuke.

Come to think of it, Sasuke has been barely at the Uchiha district lately. What happened? Did something happen to him? Did he do something wrong? Is he sick?"

Itachi sighed:" No he is fine but I believe he got disowned by our father. That is the only possible explanation! He is an orphaned now, somehow. Apparently he calls himself Sasuke Haruno and lives with two other orphans, Sakura and Naruto Haruno, a small civilian clan near the civilian Shinobi district. The former head was Ibu Haruno. A Shinobi veteran who had died six years ago from an unknown disease. Sakura Haruno is now the head of the Clan. All three Haruno's a medical ninja in trainee. But that 's past my point." Itachi ruffled his hair in frustration and sighed. His tired eyes and visible stress lines in his face were getting visible by the light orange rays of the sun:" Mom, d

Dad even Soshi acts like Sasuke never existed. I feel like they are under some of Illusion or they really disowned him. I seriously can't find anything of Sasuke in our house. For the past 7 years or so. No sent cloth, photo, or anything related to him. It's only his twin. As if Sasuke did not exist before. I asked around the clan. Everyone! I swear! I got nothing out. So I started to investigate.

Whenever I pressed on my mom she seemed to try to change the topic or scold me. Father has no idea who Sasuke is. a clue! Soshi is also absolutely odd. People in the clan remember him faintly but they are telling me that I must be mistaken Sasuke for Soshi! Also, Soshi is different than usual. Almost inhuman. Am I going insane? I tried talking to Sasuke but he seems to avoid me.

Even willing to fight me to get away from him! So I started to shadowban him the past days. He seems to have changed too. To much happier extend with his new family but still… I miss him. He is not the same. It's like we are not his family… I mean like I am not his older brother anymore…I hope he does not hate me. Has he been fine? Why does he not trust me? Is he going to the academy even? Did mom and dad disown him? Why, how, and when was I not informed of this? This is frustrating to me. I feel like..."

Itachi grabbed his hands holding back his tears. The nails of his fingers dug too deep into his skin causing him to bleed:" It's my fault. If I have never taken this mission he would. If I was not a genius… Shisui I absolutely failed as an elder brother. I miss him. So much." " Itachi!" Shisui stepped forward grasping his shoulders:" Itachi calm it!… You did nothing wrong. You have been on a very dangerous mission and contracting your family would have been the death of you! How would you have known? How could I have now? I trusted Fugaku to not play favorites! No, it's actually my fault! As his uncle, I should have kept tabs on him too. But my brother disappoints me the most. I will talk to Fugaku at once he's back from his mission. This is odd indeed!"

The boy behind the tree was shocked. Itachi was not affected! He cared! He was worried! He missed him even! So he was not seeing things or lying! Itachi saw it too. The odd behavior of his former family. Maybe he could trust him. Just a bit. Maybe Itachi could help them to get to the bottom of this. Quietly he stepped out from his hiding place rattling a few leaves and branches and stopped suppressing his chakra flow.

" Who is there?" Itachi and Shisui quickly went into their fighting stance but relaxed when they saw a yawning Sasuke with his shoulder long messy black hair walk out to the clearing.

" S-ssasuke? When did you?- How long have you been standing there?" Itachi spoke dumbfounded as his younger brother who walked over and snatched his hands:" That's quite nasty. A bit longer and you would have popped your veins and you could have passed out from blood loss. Now hold still will ya?" With two fingers from both of his hands glowing green, he tapped both injured hands. At first, nothing happened but by the blink of an eye, the wounds steamed, quickly closing leaving nothing behind. Both older Uchiha gasped at that display of skill.

So quick and effortless!

Turning around, Sasuke looked at Shisui pointing at the ground:" Could you come down?"

" Huh?" Came the smart response from Shisui. " I said get down here!" With a confused look, Shisui crooked his head to the side as he asked again smartly:" Come again?" Angry Sasuke yelled:" HOW THE HELL CAN I HELP YOU WHEN YOU STAND! NOW GET DOWN! You tall as a behemoth! Can't you think? As Itachi said, I am a medical ninja for fucks sake!" " Sasuke language." " Hah? What are you, eight? Can't stand cursing?" " Tone Sasuke. Have some respect for your elder brother!" " Elder brother my ass." " Sasuke, watch your language. Or-" "-Or what? I am not scared nor are you my older brother anymore. I am Sasuke Haruno now. Address me as such."

" Oooh. Ahahah silly me sorry Sasuke! Now please stop fighting you two." the short-haired guy went down to Sasuke's level as he laughed nervously towards the small glaring contest of the siblings. Bringing his attention back to Shisui and removing his eye patch, that Sasuke did not flinch to see the bloodied Sharingan eye and blue-purple bruised eye.

The two were now finally getting it.

Sasuke was really a medic! The eye was pulsing in its red tone with an odd black pinwheel. It was activating itself against its user will. The veins around the eyes looked like they explode any second. This did not look so great at all. Quite the horror. Closing his eyes he grabbed Shisuis's forehead. Spreading his chakra to the inner chakra pathways of his patients, he quickly got a groan of discomfort from Shisui. He could feel Shisui's chakra fight him back." Stop whining Shisui. You should have contacted a medical ninja-like 7 hours ago. This is quite damaged! Also, shut off your chakra and relax. How the hell can I help you when your chakra is fighting me? " " Sorry. I do not know anyone who I could trust. I mean I am weakened and you know how many want the secret of the Sharingan. So sir Medic, how bad is it?" " I still diagnose the . . Why are you so difficult? Just shut it off?" Sasuke complained before closing his eyes again. Feeling his patient's chakra coming back at him, Shisui facepalmed:" Sorry? Ehm. I am not molding my chakra?" Sasuke went back to work thinking.

Not noticing Itachi coming closer with an intrigued look. Sasuke was a medical ninja that was clear now but how good was he? How long was he in training? I mean he saw him walk into an operation a few days ago. How skilled is he? Sasuke stopped:" It seems like your chakra in your eye area is subconscious activating against your will. A few tenketsu points and a few nerve lines are messed up. There are few parasites in there too. How the heck did they come in there? I can heal it but there is no way that you can use your Sharingan at its full strength for the next two years. Whatever Jutsu you used. . .If you would have come earlier to me this won't have been so annoying. Now, what do I do now? Hm. I need that. Its morning so it must be around …." Removing his hand he walked away leaving still two dumbfounded elder boys. The one standing rubbed his eyes:" I follow him." " Fine by me. Don't take long."

Quickly catching up to him, he watches Sasuke looking around for something:" What are you looking for? A plant?" " No, also you have stress lines. Can´t sleep at night?" Nodding, Sasuke sighed as he walked over to some bushes when he returned he was shewing something. From the looks of his face, it was quite bitter. Spitting into his hands, he rubbed a green substance into Itachi's face:" It´s Aloe vera. Disgustingly bitter if you are no trained medical ninja, you can choke and die from its bitterness. This plant grows like mold everywhere here in Konoha, infused with chakra it can do miracles. I could make you some sleeping pills later or drops whatever you prefer. Now back to Shisui´s problem...ah there it is! Let´s go back to him" Slowly Itachi felt his face relaxing and his tiredness leave. He had to ask:" Sasuke, what happened? Did.." " Not now Itachi. We can talk about this evening. With my other siblings." Understanding, he followed Sasuke. The young boy had something cupped over his hands. When hey got back to the waterfall clearing, Shisui was sitting there calmly and laughed:" Hey! Found what you need Nurse-chan?" " Shut up, you won´t be laughing when you see your treatment." Revealing it was the most albino worm, they have seen. " It´s an albino leech. It likes to eat parasites and restore chakra pathways for the exchanges of getting chakra. They are friendly and die after like 3 days. It´s an old method but you have to make do with that." "Wwait, Sasuke, I need to put this, in my eye?" Shisuis paled. " Scared big boy? No, not inside your eyes, just near your eye is enough, it will feel funny too." Making his hands low green, he put the glitchy leech near its a patient eye, earning nit so bemused stares from Shisui. After a while, Sasuke stepped back:" You need to meet me up weekly. No more S to B Rank Missions or drawn-out battle. Your Chakra system is absolutely messed up. You are in no condition to move. No buts! Same goes for Itachi, you need to sleep. Your body seems to not respond well. You should get a medical check-up later. Now excuse me, my boss in the hospital needs me at the baby station.." As he was about to leave, he got grabbed by Itachi:" What now?" " Can I go with you? As a thank you. If you want that is.", Sasuke noticed Itachi's look of worry. Letting out air once more from his mouth, he moved his shoulders." Fine by me." " Thanks, Sasuke, but is there really no other method?" " Shut up Shisui and be a man. Stop whaling." "But Sasuke! I´m your uncle! Care for me?" " As if! Shut up or I make you!" " Sasukeee!" "The best and cheapest method is to remove it all together!" That got Shisui silent. Itachi snickered at that interaction. He hoped that evening would come soon.
