《Providence [Naruto Fan Fiction]》Chapter 21
Advertisement
Naruto and Sasuke's sparring finally happened. I'm currently standing on the water tank above the next building to theirs. I didn't bother myself to stop them from clashing since I know that Kakashi will do the deed.
Sasuke's on the mid-air weaving his seals for while Naruto on the other hand made his And they both made their way to each other but before their rasengan and chidori could meet with each other, Kakashi finally appeared. He holds both Naruto and Sasuke's hands before throwing their Jutsu away and made it touch the building's water tanks.
Jiraiya appeared beside me wearing his disappointed look. He didn't expect Naruto to use the Rasengan for his naught. Kakashi's also feeling disappointed because he taught that Jutsu to Sasuke to protect the team and not to use it against the team. I saw Sakura's crying but I could care less about her. She's useless and was about to die when she suddenly charged in the middle.
That's so irritating. She's so fucking useless. If ever I hear her making Naruto to promise her to bring Sasuke back - I'll definitely slap her for good. Believe on my fucking word.
"Their rivalry isn't normal anymore." I seriously mumbled to Jiraiya. He didn't budge or flinch, he just stand there and I know, he's reminiscing his past. His past rivalry with Orochimaru. "I wonder what will happen next?" I flash a smirked before standing to pick up my pace. "Get Naruto, I'll help Kakashi to talk with that bratty Sasuke." And then I teleported behind Kakashi.
I didn't bother to look at Sakura. She's just pissing me off. All of the gooddamn time, she's always useless.
Sasuke already made his way out so I nodded on Kakashi to tail him. I walked towards to Naruto when he told Sakura to not to meddle. I infused a chakra on my fist before giving him a punch which made him choke his own blood.
"You fucking child, you impudent child. Sakura's concerned about you guys yet you're telling her not to meddle? Shall I kill Sakura in front of you to make you realize her worth, brat?" I asked and I let my anger flow in my voice. That made Naruto and Sakura froze. Naruto didn't say anything but looked down. "If I hear you again saying those words to those who care about you... I'll definitely kill them in front you." Feel my rage Naruto. Feel my rage. Your arrogance won't do a good deed to you. It'll just drive you crazy just like what happened to that impudent Uchiha.
"That's enough, Kashina. Go with Kakashi now." I nodded on Jiraiya before teleporting behind Kakashi.
Sasuke's already tied up on the tree trunk asking Kakashi. "Shall I kill those important people to you so you could understand my pain?!" And Kakashi answered "They have been killed already." With a sad smile imprinted on his face.
Memories of Obito, Rin, Minato and Kushina fueled my anger so I flashed in front of Sasuke to slap him so hard that made his anger decreases.
"You of all people, Sasuke. Know that kind of feeling yet... you're asking him that?" I told him which made him froze before looking down. "Shall I kill Itachi in front of you, kid?" I asked him which made him looked at me with rage imprinted in his eyes.

"DON'T YOU DARE, KASHINA!! HE'S MINE TO DEAL WITH!!! DON'T FUCKING MEDDLE!!" He burst out but Kakashi's wire is stronger. "Then stop acting like a kid, Sasuke. Think... fucking reflect on what you did. You and Naruto... of all people knew the feeling of loosing someone yet... you guys tried to kill each other. Those jutsu weren't made for that !" And I slapped him again.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY PAI-" I slapped him again. "Don't you dare tell me that I don't know your pain and your pain is bigger than mine. Don't you fucking dare Uchiha Sasuke. You know how much I love the team... you know how much I love you guys yet... you're trying to throw your life away?! Are you fucking kidding me? I've been telling you guys... especially you!!! That don't let the hatred drives you!!!" Tears started to dripped down my face because of my anger.
I know. I understand his hatred but what about us? Team 7. Is our love and care wasn't enough for him to stay? Is it really happening soon? Our team will fall and will be shatter. Is there any kind of way for Sasuke to get his revenge...?
"That's enough, Kashina." And then Kakashi grab a hold on my elbow to lift me up so I stand straight. I didn't wait for Sasuke and Kakashi's response anymore and I teleported myself away. Not too far with Sasuke since I already felt the presence of the four Orochimaru's favorite pets spying over Sasuke. They will attack him and activate his cursed mark, second level. That will drive Sasuke's hatred even deeper.
I calmed myself down. Nothing good will happen if I let my emotion to take over myself.
As soon as the night came. The moon shines so bright so Sasuke and Orochimaru's pets was clear as crystal. I'm watching them but they couldn't sense me. This is the most heartbreaking scenery for me because tonight is Sasuke's departure. Tonight Sasuke will be forced to fuel his hatred even more. And for tomorrow, as soon as the rookies along with Neji found out about his departure... it'll become a real troublesome.
Not to mention that Neji and Choji will receive such harsh conditions and it is the very first mission of Shikamaru as a Chunnin. Ah, I forgot, we're both promoted as a Chunnin now. Even though I didn't manage to make it in finals - I received a lot of individual remarks from Elite Jonins of Sand and Leaf. Add my investigation from the second round as one of the reasons. It played a great role to convince the Hokage and Elite Jonins to promote me.
Setting that aside, Sasuke and Orochimaru's pets started to clash. It's funny that Leaf's sensory and barrier department didn't even knew about this. They were notified late. What the fuck. Is this Danzo's work? But he isn't a active member of the council anymore! Hiruzen house arrested him after the massacre! Tsk, I didn't bother anymore, He's Danzo the old fart. Hmp!
One of the pets manage to made Sasuke flew on his back. They finally cornered him and forced him to activate his level two. After knocking him off for a minute, they left laughing like a psycho. I waited for about 30 minutes until he woke up with a very depressing and resentful aura. I laughed before tailing him.

He went home to pack his luggage so I appeared behind him which made him flinch and immediately put out his kunai. He sighed of relief when he recognized me.
"What are you doing here? You cannot stop me." He said in cold voice. I just shrug on him and then went on his cabinet to help him pack. I saw him froze when I started to fold his shirts and put them inside his bag. I was so sure that I won't be crying anymore but it's a lie.
Tears started to drip down my face as soon as I put his clothes inside his bag. "Y-you know... I'm aware that you'll leave soon but even though I'm prepared... It hurts. I dreamed of protecting our team but... but I failed. Was our love wasn't enough to make you stay...?"
Sasuke stayed in silence but the pain was evident on his eyes but choose not to say anything. He's finally done it, his decision. He's already leaving. I cannot do anything anymore. I... He'll leave.
"I know. I can't stop you anymore. I just want to... I just want my friend to say goodbye to me." And there I covered my face with my palms because it's embarrassing that I break down in front of him. My sobs became clear when Sasuke gave me a warm hug just like what Itachi did to me. These Uchiha brother's are so troublesome, aren't they?
"I want to tell you that no matter what will happen tomorrow, in the future or what ever you decide to do in the future... I'm always here for you. you're my friend. You're not alone. No matter how hard your future will be... I'm always here, Sasuke. I care for you... I care for our team so damn much..." I said between my sobs. He just tighten his hugs before nodding. He leaned on my shoulders and I felt his warm tears dripping on my shoulders.
"The moment you leave the village is the moment you'll cut our bonds but I don't care about that. If ever you feel hurt or alone while you're in Orochimaru's den... come to me, I'll stay with you. Got that? You're my brother, it's only natural for me to care." He nodded on my statement again. What hurts me the most is his painful sobs.
I know that he's thinking about us but his hatred is now bigger than our love so... I understand.
"Promise me, Sasuke..." I pull myself in our hug to face him. "Promise me that after you achieved your desires... you'll comeback in the village... please." But I wouldn't let you touch your brother. I will definitely protect Itachi, even if it cost my life. I wouldn't definitely let Obito to come aid Sasuke's hatred after killing Itachi. That dumbass. I will never let him touch Sasuke and Itachi. I'll save them both.
Bet my life to this, I'll steal a second on him.
"Promise me!!" I yelled on him when I felt him froze. "I promise." And then I sealed our promise using my sealing technique. It's a special type of sealing technique from the Uzumaki's, it's emotional based sealing technique that will activate once the person who agreed in the conditions resist on doing the condition.
It's similar to Kurapika's judgement chain or Sukuna and Itadori's pact. A chain will surround Sasuke's heart and clenched it until he finally stop resisting. That's how it works.
After that, I continued folding his chosen clothes and there I put them inside his bag before handing him his bag pack. He's already wearing his blue shirt with Uchiha crest on the back along with his white short. Fortunately, he didn't remove his Leaf Band. Probably tomorrow after their battle.
"After finding out that you've left, Naruto will definitely force Lord Fifth to let him find you and bring you back to the village." I told him. He just nodded. "Just... just don't hurt him too much. You know how high he looks up to you." I told him before giving him another hug. He snaked his arms around my waist and we stayed in that position for a while.
I feel like I'm sending my son for a war. Damn it.
I looked at the clock, it's already 11:00 PM. I'm sure Sakura's still awake, they will be meeting later.
"I'm going now." He said with a hint of sadness in his voice. "Maa, don't use that tone to me, Sasuke." I slightly smacked his nape before flashing a smile on my face. "This isn't truly a goodbye for us. We may become enemies in the future but... you know, you can always come to me if things get rough. I'm always here for you." And there I tapped his forehead like Itachi did to him. He blushes a bit! What a cute kid!
"I'm going now, Kashina." Yeah, he recast his tone since he failed on his first try. This guy! I'm sure I'm going to miss our bickering. I'll be missing him throwing things to my face because I pissed his pants off.
"Yup, good luck Sasuke!" And there I teleported away after he nods. I went to the Hokage's mountain and sat on the top of Minato's. There I let my emotions flowed outside my body. It actually made me shake and shivers.
I just continued to cry and let no one to hear my painful sobs. I hope Hashirama and Tobirama's here so I could make fun of Tobirama but he's sealed at this moment. Maybe in the Fourth Great Shinobi war.
You know the bitterness inside me just made my mood off. It's so off.
Sakura and Sasuke probably started their conversation by now. I slightly felt bad for Sakura... he just watched Sasuke to walk away. Sasuke will knock her off and then she'll wake up... he's gone. What a harsh reality. That's how painful this Shinobi World is. No wonder why Nagato, Madara and Obito got tired but their resolves were wrong. They should understand that hate is permanent, pain is permanent and also love is permanent. They cannot erase hate permanently. Even God cannot do that shit because those feelings were the reason for someone's strength and weaknesses.
That said, I must brace myself for tomorrow's long day.

8 143The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
8 132The Demonic Chisel
A demonic sword transmigrates into a chisel. A short dark comedy about a demonic chisel.
8 124The immortal snail problem
“You get 10 million coins, but a magic immortal snail will spawn within 10 kilometers of you. It is as fast as a regular snail, but it will always be chasing you. If it touches you - you die. Do you take the deal?” This obscure message is the first thing you see along with a gun near your head. What will you do if you don't even know where or who you are? Problem...Yeah... I would even call it 'The immortal snail problem'. Improvisational writing. I will try to make small irregular updates. There may be polls. Enjoy.
8 113The Marked Ones
One morning, a boy appears on top of a hill. He has no memories of his past, nor does he know who he is. All he knows is that on his hand is a Mark that makes everyone around him view him with suspicion or hate. Soon, he will meet someone like him, and they must survive in a hostile world. The Marked Ones are enigmatic entities; they appear from nowhere, and some groups seek to exterminate them, and others seek to protect them. In the continent of Aeton, the boy will not be alone, and his main objective will be to reach the city of Adhaz, thus having to cross half a continent full of dangers. His story, and that of the groups that hunt or protect him, will bring a huge change to Aeton. Weekly updates on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday here and on Patreon. Due to various personal issues, updates will only be on Mondays.
8 117The Ramayana - Lakshmila's POV
We have read The Ramayana as kids and always knew it to be the story of Rama and his consort Sita. Every character has an important role to play. But not all of them have found much importance is any of the version. One such character is Urmila and her story with Lakshmana. All versions mention Urmila's sacrifice as "Unparalleled" but none depicted it. This story is an attempt to present the story of Ramayana from Urmila and Lakshmana's POV. Note : This story is fictional. The characters are the same. This story is an insight of The Ramayana through Lakshman and Urmila's eyes. There would be Nobody's POV also. The events are the same but the depiction is part of fiction. Parts of the story is loosely based/inspired from Sita's Sister but I have taken creative liberty to give my character more edge and depth.
