Chapter 54

Through the forest Temari carries Gaara as she leaps through the air.

"Let me down Temari," his voice sounds really tired out.

'This is bad, I can't handle it by myself,' she thought with worry.

"Temari, get away from here." Gaara said struggling, "Just hurry up and get out of here! You're in the way!" Using his hand he easily pushed her away till her body flies through the air.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke catches from hitting a tree. Wiping away the blood stain from the corner of her mouth.

"It's you. Uchiha Sasuke," Temari's heart suddenly beat wildly. She could smell an attractive earthy fragrance that's from Sasuke's body.

Feeling a sense of security in his arms like never before in her life. Her heart flutters with anxiousness and excitement.

It was like Sasuke just walked out of a fairy tale. To come and save her the damsel in distress. His smile was charming and cool. Being a light that gives her security and comfort.

Putting her gently down on the floor Sasuke observes he changed Gaara. With black marks that stretch across his face.

"Our fight hasn't finished. Let's end this today," he said to Gaara with confidence. Turning to Temari he said to her confidently, "I'll take care of this."

'So cool!' Her cheeks turned red when he smiled at her.

On the opposite side Sasuke sees Gaara's arm transformed into a large sand monster's arm. With dark sharp claws.

Looking at him menacingly. With sand dropping from his arm to the ground below. Saliva drooling from his mouth.

His speed is incredible as he jumped in front of Sasuke. He managed to dodge from that attack. Though the trees in the surrounding were ripped into pieces.

"Do you fear me? Uchiha Sasuke!" Gaara shouted at him. "Do you fear my existence?!!"

"Are you afraid of me? Is this the pitiful extent of your existence?�� Gaara said to him. His body now increasingly looked similar to a beast's.

"Today I'll make sure to give you a lot of fun," said Sasuke. He takes off his pair of glasses to reveal a strange pattern on his eyes.

'What's this?' Temari wondered. She could sense danger coming from Sasuke's body. Enough to control over her life and death shall he want to do so.

'This eye! It's the Mangekyo Sharingan!!' The sand spirit inside Gaara felt a palpitating fear. Before Shukaku's eyes Sasuke appeared in front of him.

In front of Sasuke stands a beast that size of a large mountain. His very size would place a tremendous pressure on someone.

His body was full of cursed seal marking all over its face, body, and tail. The surrounding was empty and desolate.

"Today is your end One-Tail," Sasuke said to him in calm manner. Looking at his eyes Shukaku find his consciousness became taken over. His body drops on the water in sleep.

Walking slowly over to the sleeping beast Sasuke places his hand on Shukaku's large head. Then a notification sounded from the system.

[Do you want to upload Tailed Beast Shukaku?]

[Yes][No]

Clicking on the Yes button in his mind, the sleeping Shukaku disappeared from in front of Sasuke. Appearing back outside facing Gaara who's now screaming with pain.

Gaara's arm which was originally transformed into the likes of the tailed beast returned to normal. Looking strangely as he regained back his consciousness, "What did you do to Shukaku?"

"Don't worry about it. Just know that he's in better hands now," said Sasuke. Feeling the powerful chakra inside him.

Using a single flick of his wrist Sasuke controlled the sand on the ground. Blasting away Gaara in the stomach. Causing him to hit apart a tree in the forest.

Saying to Temari who was still too shocked to realize the development, "I'm going now. Take care." With a light tap on the branch with his feet Sasuke disappeared from sight.

The next day came a day of darkness the shadows over the village. As people gathered to bid farewell to the pasted away Hokage.

Soon a week has passed since then. Today is the day that he will be meeting the brother of the original Sasuke.

Naruto who was staying at an inn somewhere heard knocking on his room's door. When he opened the door he sees a man with a piercing gaze looking at him.

'Those eyes! It's the same as Sasuke's!!' He felt shaking fear from the man standing in front of him. Eyes that are cold and bleak. With black hair like Sasuke.

"Hard to believe that such a child carries the nine-tailed." Naruto hears a man that looks like a shark behind Itachi saying.

"Naruto, why don't you come with us." Itachi said to Naruto. "Why don't you step out of the room."

"Itachi. It would be bothersome to have him wander off." Kasame said, ready to pull out the weapon from behind his back. "Perhaps we should cut off one of his legs or something. Well then."

"Long time no see. Sasuke," Itachi said with his back still facing Sasuke. He was able to still sense his presence from behind.

"It has truly been a long time. My foolish older brother," Sasuke said with a smirk on his face. "I was just itching for a fight today. How opportunistic."

Itachi faced Sasuke with a detached cold look still. In his heart he still wants to see how his brother has turned out. Since he hasn't seen Sasuke in a while.

Using his feet Sasuke kicked towards Itachi's face from the right. Itachi was able to block the agile attack with his forearm. Though the strength of the kick still caused him to wobble a step.

'This strength!' Itachi was surprised that he wasn't even able to follow Sasuke's incredible speed. Subsequently, Sasuke used both his feet to kick towards Itachi's chest.

The force from that kick was incredible enough to make Itachi fly through the air. Causing a line of friction from the sole of Itachi's shoes.
