Ichiban: Chapter 6
O…O
Sasuke looked at the two twins, examining them. The girl was slightly smaller than her male counterpart, however the look in her eyes suggested that she was slightly weaker than the male. The male stood taller than his female partner, and he was ready to protect the female with his life.
"Brother, let me fight first," Kinamori announced to her sibling as the pink-haired male nodded, agreeing with her order. She stepped forward, pulling out three needles from her shirt pocket. Sasuke examined them closely, but could not find anything abnormal, except that there were ribbons tied to them.
"I assume you're more of Aoi's henchmen…" The Uchiha boy said as Kinamori smiled.
"Why yes, sir. We do serve Lady Aoi," the girl said, her voice reminding Sasuke of Sakura. "Right now I would be telling you to turn back, except you have committed one sin that will not be forgiven…." Sasuke looked at her mockingly, preparing his kunai for battle.
"And what may that be…?" No sooner did he ask that question, the happy expression on the girl's face became twisted with evil, anger and vengeance.
"YOU KILLED SADAKO AND NOW I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!!!!!" With this, Kinamori threw her needles in Sasuke's direction. However all three of them missed the Uchiha, one landing in front of him, and two behind him. Sasuke laughed at the demon girl, who stood with her arm out.
"Is that all you have, demon girl?" Sasuke scoffed at Kinamori. However Kinamori, whose arm was still out in the open, started laughing. "What is it? Why are you laughing?"
"You humans really are fools!" she laughed as she looked at the Uchiha mockingly. "I missed on purpose. Just look at where the needles have landed." Sasuke looked around, but it only took him an instant to realize why Kinamori was laughing. The needles were in a perfect triangle, and as Sasuke watched, Kinamori's hand, which had been held out, clenched into a fist, preparing for the final blow.
"Now you pathetic human, you will know what it is truly like to die…." Kinamori seethed as she pulled her arm back in, before holding it up to the sky. "Entrance to the Underworld Technique!!!" Sasuke could only watch as a dark hole began to grow from the middle of the triangle. He tried to escape out of the triangle, but a forcefield created by the needles prevented him from doing so. He could only watch as the hole became bigger. As the hole became too big for Sasuke to evade, he let out one last cry before plunging into the darkness.
"NARUTO!!!!" He yelled as he disappeared. The triangle soon became a giant black pyramid, shutting Sasuke in with no escape. Kinamori just sighed as she turned to her brother.
"Yama-Onii, it won't be too long before the human loses his mind and commits suicide…" Kinamori said as she ran into the arms of her brother.

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, thinking that he would soon feel the impact of the ground against his back. But he awoke to find that he was floating in nothing more than pitch black. Nothing but eternal darkness, surrounding him. Closing him in a black tomb. But besides the darkness, he could hear voices…
"Failure…"
"Who's there?" Sasuke looked around, frantic about the mysterious voice echoing. For some strange reason, the voice sounded familiar.
"You have failed the Uchihas, Sasuke…."
"What??" the Uchiha was a little more desperate this time, overwhelmed with fear and anger. "Who the hell is this?" He felt a warm presence behind him and he turned around, with kunai in hand. But what stood behind him would shake the Uchiha youth to his knees…
"Mom...? Dad…?"

Aoi's silhouette stood before the newly created Naruto, gazing endlessly at the creation she had helped in creating.
Naruto-sama, words cannot describe how powerful and gallant you look." The newly-formed Jinchuuriki looked at the floating silhouette, and smiled.
"When can I start my revolution?" He asked, his voice low and slightly irritated. Aoi could sense that he wanted to achieve something, and he was ready to do anything to achieve what he wanted.
Not yet, Naruto-sama, first we must test your power… Naruto looked at her as if she knew what she was doing..
"What do you think we should do, Aoi…?" Naruto enquired, his face grinning with an excitement he never knew existed. Aoi bowed her head as she told Naruto of her plan.
Begin your revolution….In Konoha…

"Mom…? Dad…? How can this be…?" Sasuke stammered as he stood in front of his parents.
"You have failed us in avenging us, you're nothing more than weak…" Sasuke's father echoed through the darkness.
"How can you be so spineless Sasuke?" Sasuke's mother wept as she cried in her hands. "We loved you so much and you couldn't defeat your brother…" Sasuke eyes welled with tears as he heard those words.
"But…mother…I've been trying…" Sasuke choked through tears of heartache. He couldn't believe that this was happening; that his mother and father were talking him down. But soon another voice echoed to Sasuke. However this voice would send shivers down his spine.
"Yes you failed them, you failed them all…." The voice said as Sasuke turned around. It was the one person who had alluded his grasp since the fall of the Uchiha Clan.
"I…ta…chi…" Sasuke's voice became scared and quivered, tears running down his pale face. "Why…are you here?"
"I'm always around wherever you are…watching you…laughing at your failure…" Itachi echoed mockingly as Sasuke stepped away from his brother, his face pale and afraid, scared of his fate.
"Leave me alone…" Sasuke whimpered, clasping his hands on his knees, closing his eyes.
"That's right Sasuke, you are a failure…." Itachi laughed as the villagers of Konoha appeared behind his brother. "It's all true Sasuke…you're a failure, and you will die a failure."
"You're a loser Sasuke," the voice of Sakura hollered.
"Yeah a loser…" Ino called behind her. The laughter and the sneering of the villagers tore at Sasuke like a blade going through his chest.
"Loser…"
"Failure…"
"You're better off dead…"
"Dead…"
"Dead…"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" Sasuke yelled as he felt his knees collapse under him, tears falling down his cheeks like endless streams. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!! PLEASE….just don't condemn me…"
"See little brother? See how much everyone hates you?" The voice of Itachi hollered again as Sasuke looked up, his eyes empty and hollow, with endless tears running down his cheeks. His face was as pale as the moonlight, and his expression on his face lifeless and wilted.
"Everyone hates me??"
"Everyone would rather see you dead…"
"See me dead…"
"You're not even worth the space on this Earth….Perhaps you should end it…."
"End it…" Sasuke, without any thought or hesitation, reached his pocket for his spare kunai. He looked at the blade before holding it up over his head, aiming the blade at his neck. He was ready to take the final blow, before another voice echoed to him, a voice that sounded nothing less than sweet and loving.
"You're not a loser Sasuke…" Sasuke looked up, his eyes glowing slightly as he gazed at the figure in front of him.
"Naruto…?"
"You're not a loser Sasuke… You're a winner in my eyes… Please, fight and save me… I want you to save me…" Sasuke's eyes filled with life as Naruto reached forward and touched his face, wings appearing on Naruto's back as Sasuke reached forward and held whaat was, to him, his beloved.
"Sasuke,... I love you so much, I know you can save me…" Sasuke wiped his tears, and held his beloved tightly.
"I will save you…Naruto…I will…. Not…. LET YOU DOWN!!!" Sasuke screamed out loud as he was engulfed by the warm glow of his beloved's spirit.

Kinamori sensed a strong feeling coming from the pyramid, something that felt out of place.
"Yama-onii, something's not right," she said as she parted from her brother's arms. She went up to the pyramid, examining it. She watched as a crack appeared from the dark structure.
"Kina-chan, what is it?" Yamamura asked as his sister neared the pyramid, wondering about the growing crevice on the pyramid. She was within inches of the structure when a kunai suddenly appeared from where the crack was situated. It hit Kinamori in the chest, but what shocked the demon was the hand that was attached to the weapon. It was Sasuke's hand.
"But…how?" Kinamori growled in pain as another hand reached out, holding on to the edge of the gap, pulling out the body that the arms were attached to. Sasuke struggled out of the gaping crack, getting out before the structure imploded within itself. He held onto the Kunai, looking at the dying demon before smiling.
"I commend you for that genjutsu, it sends people mad right?" the Uchiha said as Yamamura looked on in horror. "Except you forgot one thing…"
"And…what was that?" Kinamori said as she came to terms with her fate.
"I had a guardian angel…." Sasuke smiled as he ripped the kunai into Kinamori's chest. The pain was only quick, but it was enough to make Kinamori scream.
Yama-onii, don't hate me….
"YAMAMURAAA!!!!" She screamed as she disappeared into dust, leaving her brother stunned. Her tears were all that were left on the dust that was once Kinamori, and it sent her brother into a state of shock.
"Kina…mori….?" Yamamura whimpered as he turned his head to Sasuke, his face contorted with rage. "YOU KILLED MY SISTER, YOU BASTARD!!!" He lunged at the Uchiha, punching him and sending the youth flying to the ground. Sasuke wiped his lip of the blood as a result of the punch and stood up, kunai in hand for attack.
"Why don't you avenge your sister then?" Sasuke taunted as Yamamura summoned his weapon. A scythe appeared before him. Yamamura grabbed onto it and pointed his weapon directly at Sasuke.
"I plan on doing that…" Yamamura replied in a low and dangerous tone. Sasuke prepped his last Kunai for battle, and as he awaited the time to fight the demon, his thoughts were only on Naruto.
Wait for me Naruto, wait for me…

Aoi noticed the pink light of Kinamori had gone out. She knew that the fate of Sadako was also the fate of Kinamori.
So whoever is fighting, and defeating the demons, he has to be a demon ninja of some form… Aoi thought as she looked at the last light, the light that belonged to Yamamura. Her thoughts were ceased however when she heard a screaming from nearby.
Naruto…? Aoi instantly disappeared and reappeared in front of Naruto. The Jinchuuriki was in pain, clutching to his heart as though it were about to break.
What's the matter, Naruto-sama?
"I feel…like someone's coming…." The blonde boy gasped behind gritted teeth, clutching his chest tighter. Aoi could only look on.
Naruto-sama, your pain will be released… But first you must gain control of Konoha….Will you be alright…?
Naruto stood up, and although he was still clutching his chest, he was ready to carry out the will that Aoi brainwashed him into thinking it was right.
"Yes…it's time we show Konoha who is the real Hokage…." Naruto hissed, his tails waving in the air as he and Aoi dispersed into the darkness.
