we went home failures and swore to keep trying tens hadn't said a word to us and shisui had healed everyone with the small amounts of medical ninjutsu he knew.

back at the village I allowed shisui and itachi to debrief the hokage as they had asked and went home to sleep for the night. not noticing the genjutsu both shisui and itachi had placed me under.

tonights the night, i could feel this horrible twisting feeling in my gut making me feel disgusted for what i was going to do, i'm not sure i could have gone along with it if shisui-kun didn't choose to help me.

after debriefing the hokage and triple checking the genjutsu naru-san was under i made my way to danzo as weasel along with bear.

we both steeled ourselves for what we had to do, all for sasuke.

pocketing the note i had written i kneeled for my final orders. "weasel, bear, go ... destroy the uchiha clan and join the akatsuki the life of this village depends on the information you can gather and the destruction of the uchiha clan." he ordered in his gruff voice leaving no room for denial or failure. nodding we left.

running across the roof tops we both used chakra to make sure sasuke wasn't in the clan compound and went to work.

I woke up to a sense of foreboding, this coupled with the fact that I couldn't feel itachi or shisui's chakra sent me into a frenzy.

it took me seconds to be ready and in my naru genjustu, flying across the roof tops i came to the clan compound where i saw mass destruction.

i froze my heart pounding as I took in the sights everyone, all of them dead.

my anger and sadness rose within me until in a rage i screamed to the sky at the unfairness of it all.

and suddenly, my senses picked up a faint chakra source, rising to my feet i raced toward it hoping it wasn't too late.

only to see the crumpled form of sasuke, sliding to my knees next to him I held him close glad someone had survived.

on his shirt was a note pinned on, taking it off i read it to myself through the tears in my eyes.

reading and rereading the letter over and over again didn't fix anything or make it say anything else. carefully i rolled up the note and sealing scroll and placed them in my belt.

turning to sasuke i gently picked him up and carried him to the leafs hospital where I left him in the care of the nurse.

taking off to the hokage's office I asked him for a solo mission I could do and he gave me a scroll for an S ranked mission.

reading it i accepted and took off out of the leaf village in order to vent some anger on the poor unsuspecting victim of an assassination order.
