CHAPTER 30

At this time in the Uchiha compound;

Sasuke was currently sitting in his home staring at roof. He was thinking about all that had happened to him during all this years.

****************Flashback********************

A young Sasuke was currently standing in front of a woman who was looking at him coldy.

Sasuke had taken a fighting stance as he looked at the woman menacingly. He was gritting his teeth.

He had been training in his compound when this woman came out of nowhere and abducted him. He was really pissed at her for this.

"Let me go. Do you know who I am. I am the member of the great Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha. If something happens to me then you will have face consequences" Sasuke said arrogantly as he sped towards the woman.

The woman serenely looked at Sasuke approaching her and simply lifted her hand and swing it. *SLAP* A loud slapping sound was heard as Sasuke was sent flying as blood spewed from his mouth.

He crashed on the ground as he nearly lost his consciousness by that single slap. There was a red hand print on his cheek. *COUGH COUGH* he coughed heavely as he tried to get up from the ground but couldn't do it because his arms and legs felt weak.

'What is going on?! Why do I feel so weak?' He thought as he looked a the woman who was coldly looking at him. He felt fear crept up his spine. He was reminded of the feeling when he faced the woman for the first time.

"So much arrogance and yet so little strength" The woman said as he walked towards Sasuke.

"Do you really believe you will become stronger with that arrogance of yours?" She asked as she narrowed her eyes.

Sasuke couldn't say anything due to the fear he felt.

" In this vast cosmos you are nothing but a worm trying to survive in a spider infested wall. There are beings who can just erase you without even sparing a glance at you" She said.

Sasuke looked at her without saying anything. He couldn't say anything because what the woman in front of him said was absolutely right. In front of this woman he felt so weak, so helpless. It was the same feeling that he felt when his brother completely massacred the Uchiha clan and he couldn't do anything, helplessly watching them getting killed.

No, this time it was something more. He felt that the woman in front of him was someone who was in a completely different dimension of power compared to his brother.

"So boy tell me are you able to abandon your arrogance and be something more?" She asked him.

Sasuke looked at her for a moment then he nodded his as a fire to become stronger burned in his eyes.

**************Flashback end**************

Sasuke came to his senses as he sighed. He was thinking about how things have changed for him. After training under his Master and travelling to various worlds he was changed completely. He understood that how much worthless his arrogance was.

He came to understand that the Uchiha clan was nothing worth while in this vast world. All that arrogance he had when he thought his sharingan made him the mightiest was so pitiful. He felt like laughing.

The sasuke now was a different person who had obtained true power. He had learned many things under his Master.

He slowly stood up and went near the shelf where a photo frame was kept. Inside it was photo of his family consisting of his parents and his brother. Everyone was smiling and seemed happy.

" I promise you mom and dad I will find out the truth about the massacre of the clan and meet Itachi" He said looking at the photo. He put the photo back on the shelf as he slowly went into his room to sleep.

Next morning;

In the Namikaze estate. Currently Naruto was sleeping on a bed as he snoring.

His sister was in another room, who also was sleeping at this moment.

*Ting ting ting ting * Suddenly the alarm clock went off with a loud ringing as Naruto jumped out of his bed. He looked at the alarm annoyingly as he took the clock in one hand and destroyed it.

In the other room Nanako had also woken up by that loud ringing. She got out of the bed as she went into the washroom to take a shower and freshen up. Naruto also did the same thing as he went to brush his teeth and take a shower.

After they were done, they ate their breakfast which was an instant ramen they bought yesterday. After that they went out of the house to meet the hokage for the mission they issued.

On the road to the hokage tower people were giving them various looks. Some were of disgust, some of hatred but the most of them were that of fear. Both of them completely disregard the looks as they went near the towards the tower.

Near the tower they could see some people were standing. They were Kakashi, Guy and Asuma. The three of them also noticed Naruto and Nanako approaching. The three of them had complicated expression on their faces.

Naruto and Nanako stopped in front of them and looked straight at them. None of them said anything.

Kakashi cleared his throat as he came forward," You two came. The hokage is waiting for the two of you. Please follow me".

After saying that he turned along with the other two as Naruto and Nanako followed them inside the tower.

I side the Hokage chamber, Hiruzen was currently adjusting some documents when he heard a knock from the door.

"Come in" He said as he looked at the door.

The door opened as five people walked in. They were the Uzumaki siblings along with Kakashi, Guy and Asuma.

"So you have came" He said as he looked at the siblings with a complicated expression.

"So when are we going to meet the Akatsuki?" Naruto asked without any expression.

"My men were able to contact them and they have agreed to meet you . I have arranged a team who will escort you to them and they will also act as your guard" Hiruzen said lightly.

"Although that is unnecessary" Nanako said coldly.

" No I insist, I cannot allow you to meet these dangerous criminals alone no matter what you say" Hiruzen said hurriedly as he looked at the siblings pleadingly.

Naruto and Nanako looked at each other for a second and then Naruto Nodded his head.

"Thank you" Hiruzen said with a sigh.

At the side the three jonins were only shaking their head seeing how the Hokage was acting.

" OK the team is waiting near the gate of konoha. Kakashi will act as their team leader" Hiruzen said as he looked at Kakashi who was looking at him with wide eyes and finger pointing at himself.

"Yes you Kakashi you will act as the team leader. Your top priority is to protect Naruto and his sister while you guide them to the akatsuki" Hiruzen said seriously.

"O..OK " Kakashi sighed as Hiruzen passed some document to him which contained the information about the location.

After that they left the tower .

Asuma and Guy were still standing in front of the hokage.

"Will it be all right sending him to the Akatsuki even knowing that they are hunting for Naruto?" Asuma asked.

"I will send anbu black ops to secretly protect them. Other than that we can't do anything" Horizon said slowly as the edge of his hat covered his eyes.
