I would like to take time to say that constructive critism (not flaming) is much apreciated. And I'm sorry to the Sasuke fangirls.

Rated T for Angst, and .

Sasuke turned his cold eyes from Jungo out unto the -colored sunset. He had never thought of what to do after he got revenge. His plan of reviving his clan would be impossible, what with the large bounty on his head.

Part of him said that his dream was so far fetched and impossible that it might not happen; and even if it did, he would die in that same battle.

How very wrong that side of him had been.

The dark forest was coated in fresh as the bodies of Team Hebi, Akatsuki, and Teams 7&10 littered its brown moist earth. Sasuke felt pleased and saddened by the outcome of the terrible battle. His team, his friends, his only family laid before him, lifeless. The last Uchiha made his way through the mess to Sakura's body, slumped against a large tree. He affectionately combed the hair from her eyes and (using his sleeve) cleaned the off her face.

"I'm sorry, but this is something I had to do, and you were in my way." A burning sensation filled his throat as Sasuke tried to stifle tears. He wiped them away and walked over to Kakashi.

"You were a great teacher, and I will never forget what I've learned from you." Memories of their first meeting replayed in his mind like old film as he stood over Naruto, lifeless and cold.

"I…You…" For the first time in his entire life, the young prodigy was at loss for words. He had no clue of what to say to his old friend as that burning feeling worse than the Gokakyu re-entered and over-due tears spilled.

"It had to happen this way, and for that I am sorry. But…if things had been different…I know we would have been good friends." Thinking of what Jungo said, Sasuke wandered away from the scene aimlessly. His goal had been reached, now there was nothing to live for, and absolutely nowhere to go.

The young Avenger found himself at a cliff over looking the black-clouded sky and dark sea. He cleaned the -stained sword and used it to engrave the Uchiha clan symbol into the cliff. Sasuke set the Kusanagi, scabbard and all, under the symbol. The sound of waves crashing into the jagged rocks soothed him as he fell into the deep blue abyss. Along with him drowned broken whispers of remorse.

It was complete.

And at last…there was Nothing.
