Chapter 5

Leave the army of wyverns to me. You just make sure you get the grail. Also someone keep that woman away from me. Martha was now asking him for answers after having her self control returned to her.

Sasuke certainly did not like the way she dressed. "You can ask after you get dressed properly." Sasuke ignored her little outburst "These are proper clothes. What about you? You look like a hobo!"

Sasuke stared at her "This hobo can create a moon and destroy the world is I so wished. If you want I can recreate the meteor that erased the dinosaurs."

Everyone listening did not know if he was bluffing or if he was being serious. Romani was edging towards the latter. Martha was in a stupor, he was describing what only god could do. "No you can't. If you can I'll make a summoning contract with your so called scroll thing." Romani sighed he did he want to see Sasuke create a moon or create meteors that could extinguish the dinosaurs again. Sasuke sighed "I'll get the contract ready." They got up and continued to journey towards Orleans only to meet two more servants.

Sasuke was getting annoyed. He could at most tolerate one idiot, Naruto. Naruto was too much of an idiot that it filled up Sasuke's idiot slots. Right now, Naruto not being here, he could only sustain his sanity with four idiots. Any more and he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't put them in a coma using genjutsu.

Ritsuka couldn't keep his curiosity from asking. "Sasuke-san, how did you lose that arm if you don't mind me asking."

"I lost it because I was buried deep in hatred and revenge. However I had a friend to wake me up from my blind rage."

"The thing is when you do right. No one remembers. When you do wrong. No one forgets."

"He woke me up to reality, the arm is simply a small cost to remember life lessons."

They soon found themselves facing against an army of dragons.

"Martha I'll have you sign the summoning contract soon."

A flare of purple surrounded him as his mangekyou flared to life. Rib cage and spine soon formed as a skull blazed into life with light in its eyes. Everyone watched in awe and horror as the skeleton gained flesh and soon skin. The ethereal warrior howled as armour enveloped it as it rose high. This was the armoured susanoo.

Sasuke began the seals as his susanoo performed the other set simultaneously.

The wyverns were flying around only for Martha and the group to witness a gigantic meteor that spanned the width of the whole army of wyverns emerge from the clouds.

"Tengai Shinsei"

Sasuke tossed the scroll with the contract to Martha as she wordlessly signed it with her blood. "How.."

Ritsuka stared at Sasuke "You weren't kidding?"

Sasuke stared at him "I needed a summoning contract with a servant after I failed to get one with someone else."

"Fufu~At least you can visit me whenever you want. I know you've memorised the space time coordinates."

"Ugh, why won't you just spectate my life in silence?"

"Where would the fun in that be?"

Sasuke shook his head at the reply. Ritsuka snapped out of it as Sasuke reminded him "Go I'll take care of the stragglers."

Ritsuka quickly ran off with the group to confront Jeanne Alter. Sasuke sat down and enjoyed his break with a rice ball that was sealed away. In reality the stragglers were either crippled, dying or escaping.

Sasuke had no reason to go after the mindless wyverns. A huge roar echoed through the battlefield. That was right Sasuke had forgotten about the giant dragon that Jeanne alter had as a pet.

One eye gazed at the dragon before it appeared in front of Sasuke leaving Jeanne alter to fall from the air. The dragon roared in pain as the sound of a thousand birds chirping came into life. Chidori Sharp Spear, the dragon roared as it pierced its heart. However it was not a legendary dragon for nothing as it thrashed and attempted to crush Sasuke to a pulp before it died.

A quick raise of the hand caused the dragon to be split in half from the chest. It died hearing the infernal sound of birds chirping. Such birds were not even worth thinking of as prey, yet his last moments were listening to the chirping of birds as his vision faded away.

Sasuke gazed at the group having trouble keeping up with Jeanne alter though it was incredibly fatal when he saw that Ritsuka was about to be pierced. If it was the old him he would no doubt have left him to die. It was war and a battle to survive. If he couldn't then he wasn't meant to.

But he had failed his revolution, he had seen and it was his life to atone for what he had done. In an instant Ritsuka had shut his eyes only to find himself away from the battlefield with Sasuke blocking the strike in his place.

Jeanne alter grit her teeth. "You again!" Sasuke simply nodded. Her eyes, they were the same as the ones he had before. So filled with rage, hatred, malice and cruel indifference. Though he still had an undeniable hatred and rage towards anything related to Danzo or the higher ups of the old Leaf. He had turned over a new leaf.

Jeanne alter could tell that Sasuke had a hidden past. It was the hatred and malice filled aura from previously. "Why are you hiding what you truly are?"

"I could tell from before. Your ethereal warrior was so dark and filled with hatred and malice."

"Why do you hide?"

Sasuke simply shook his head "I don't hide. I simply turned over a new leaf and left those feelings of hatred behind me. They are far from gone, but I have no desire to go back."

"I can not say much, but back then your hatred was nothing compared to mine. You were simply betrayed and burnt at the stake. While I would have rather died back then."

Jeanne alter scoffed "Yeah as If I believe you. You would know nothing of rage and hatred compared to me!"

Her face contorted in rage as Sasuke sighed. "Then experience my hatred and pain." His sharingan spun as Jeanne alter ceased all movements.

Jeanne found herself looking at what she assumed to be a younger Sasuke. She could feel all his emotions. She could feel his panic as he ran around hoping to find anyone. He ran and ignored all the dead bodies, simply hoping for his parents to be alive through this event.

The scene switched as she observed Itachi holding the sword. A parent's love, a child forced to kill their own parents. And at the door was young Sasuke. All the scenes shown to Sasuke in a Tsukuyomi repeated numerous times almost breaking the child. She felt it all, she felt all the turbulent emotions. The slaughter of his clan, the sole survivor and the hatred towards the higher ups when the truth was revealed.

She felt his rage and hatred over the years fester. And all that bottled up till it burst.

Sasuke approached Jeanne alter as he stared at her. "I see, my circumstances were nothing compared to yours." Sasuke sighed "Indeed. Though perhaps you may turn over a new leaf. Avengers weather away with time. After revenge there is nothing but an empty pit of less than human."

"Goodbye."
