Chapter 24 - The Coming of Storm

Next morning Sasuke woke up and started to get ready to go to academy. As he got ready and left his house he turned to look at the house once more and left with cold eyes.

Sasuke didn't know how many people were involved but he wanted to kill them all. He didn't just want to kill them he wanted to give them the same pain that he is feeling right now. The same feeling of loneliness and sadness.

As Sasuke made his way to academy he met Hiruzen. Looking at the cold eyes of Sasuke, Hiruzen just sighed and asked with a smile "How are you now Sasuke?"

"I am good. " Sasuke replied without any emotion in his voice.

" You know, I can move you in different house. You don't need to stay in that house. It must be painful for you as it will remind you of that night. " Hiruzen said didn't minding the cold reply.

" No I will not move, that house is where I have memories of my family. I will live there even if I have to remember that night." Sasuke said and started to walk again towards the academy.

Looking at the leaving figure, Hiruzen once again sighed as his plan to keep Sasuke away from Ryuzaki failed. Hiruzen purposefully came this way to meet with Sasuke and try to talk with him. As he got the report of yesterday.

< That Ryuzaki brat is an anomaly, I don't know what kind of power he got and how much he knows. From the report yesterday they trained and talked. But the talk they had is giving me bad feeling. I can't shake the feeling that something big will happen in the future. I have to do something about that Ryuzaki. > thinking that Hiruzen made his way to hokage office.

In some cave Itachi and White Zetsu sat beside the unconscious Obito. "So, it was that kid who made Madara unconscious. I seem to remember him as a chakraless but how did he become so powerful, it doesn't make sense." said Itachi as he looked at White Zetsu.

"I don't know, but he had some strange jutsu. He didn't even use hand signs. When I looked at all the Uchihas he didn't seem remarkable so I just left him be." said White Zetsu while trying to wake up the unconscious Obito.

" He didn't use any chakra as I couldn't sense it. He also didn't have any chakra circulation in his body. We have to watch him carefully." said Itachi.

After circulating so much chakra inside the body of Obito, White Zetsu was able to wake up him. The technique Senka is something that hits the chain of soul so it took time for Obito to wake up. Even if Obito has chakra in his body, the chain of soul is entirely made of spiritual energy. So the requirement for it is also big that chakra cannot compensate alone. But with White Zetsu's chakra the requirement met and Obito woke up.

Waking up Obito looked at White Zetsu and Itachi. But he was still feeling weak because of exhaustion. "Where are we? What happened after I lost consciousness?"

"We are in a cave in the border of fire country and as for what happened nothing other that you getting knocked out." said White Zetsu smiling.

Looking at the smiling White Zetsu, Obito got annoyed and looked at Itachi as he asked "What about you? Did you kill him?"

"No I couldn't kill him, he was stronger than me." said Itachi.

"So what should we do about him? " said White Zetsu

"Leave him for now but watch him carefully his technique is different. He could interfere in our plan." said Obito as he stood up.

"Now lets go to our hideout. " as Obito said that he left the cave followed by Itachi. White Zetsu just used his jutsu to merge with the ground.

Ryuzaki was lazing around in his house when Sasuie came for his training.

Looking at Sasuke, Ryuzaki said "Start swinging your sword with your weight to maximum capacity until I say to stop. Tomorrow you showed poor ability in swordsmanship."

Hearing him Sasuke walked to the front and started swinging the wooden sword.

"So what happened at academy today? " Ryuzaki asked as he lay on the side watching Sasuke.

" Nothing, just some boring class. " said Sasuke a he swang his sword.

" Did you meet Hiruzen? "

" How do you know that? Were you spying on me? " said Sasuke as he stopped and looked at Ryuzaki.

" No I didn't spy on you. Why would I bother with that." said Ryuzaki still boringly looking at him.

Sasuke looked at him as he thought about what Ryuzaki said and replied "Yes I did meet him."

"So, what did he say?"

"He asked me if I want to change my house or not. Why are are interested in our talk and why are you calling him by his name, he is a hokage before you also called first hokage by his name. " saying that Sasuke resumed his training.

"Hiruzen is a pathetic old geezer like a leech who should have died a long time ago. As for Hashirama he was a idiot who wanted to enforce his will to others and that is where it backfired and now people die because of war. So, I don't refer to them as hokage. And if you know the truth you would also not refer to them as hokage. As for why I asked is because Hiruzen is spying on us, that's why I know he will meet you. I just want to know what he will say." said Ryuzaki as he turn around and looked at a certain direction where a anbu-nin was hiding.

Hearing him Sasuke was stunned and looked blankly at Ryuzaki. Sasuke didn't understand why Ryyzaki is saying something like this which can make him a rebel. < Did something happen between them.. Even if I ask he will probably not say anything to me.. But it looks like there is something going on between them. >

Sasuke continued his training while thinking about Ryuzaki's words. Ryuzaki didn't continue as he knew that saying too much will actually backfire at him.

The anbu-nin in surveillance quickly made his way to the hokage to report. Reaching hokage office the ninja quickly entered through the window and reported.
