Temporary reunion

"Leave the plates, I will not be alone for breakfast" - I stopped the waitress who was trying to take clean plates at my table in front of me.

Realizing her mistake, the girl nodded sweetly and looking at me with a loving look ran back somewhere. Returning back to my tea, I continued to ponder what our meeting with Sasuke would be like. A few days after escaping from the village of the leaf, I contacted him through his summon beast- the eagle. Remembering my plan, I could only hope that everything would go as planned. However, my thoughts returned to guessing what Sasuke would feel for me when he found out everything. Can he still consider me his brother? Or he gets too self-reliant and leave me alone. In the end, I thought to create my own team, since it is too difficult to act alone. So many things to do, but I have only two hands. And the head is only one. Even clones will not help much since, unlike Naruto, I cannot spam them until the whole planet is filled. With my chakra reserves, I can create about sixteen clones by distributing the chakra equally. And if I control the distribution of chakra so I can save most of the chakra I can create only two. With tailed beast chakras maybe more, but I didn't experiment yet.

Sighing, shaking the cup, spilling the tea on the walls of it, I rested my cheek looking nowhere.

"Kyaaa!" - a quiet squeal rang out and looking out of the corner of my eye towards the door to the kitchen of a small restaurant, I saw two girls heads dived out the door and closed the door realizing that they were noticed.

If you think about it, I go out too rarely and forget how beautiful I am by the standards of these simple girls. In the end, if you compare ordinary men, it is as if the mangaka saved the budget by drawing without effort.

Finally, after some time of reflection, in a passive state of the natural chakra, I noticed how someone came with a large supply of chakra in my detection radius. Putting down the cup, I stared at the door waiting for someone to come in.

Half a minute later, the doorbell rang for the restaurant, and Sasuke went in looking at everything with a cold gaze. From the first glance, I noticed that he had become more muscular since our last meeting. He wore a long-sleeved white shirt with the symbol of our clan on the back, blue fabric hanging down from a thick belt, behind which his katana was visible. Noticing me, Sasuke closed the door behind him and walked in my direction. Watching his cold eyes, I did not notice any reaction and could immediately tell about his indifferent, cold, and arrogant personality. He wore his mask perfectly.

"Why did you call me." Sasuke sat down across from me without greeting and asked coldly.

"There is a case. I need your help." - I briefly answered him.

"Okay. What exactly is my help needed? "

Lifting my cup slowly, I made sure no one was following Sasuke. Orochimaru had a sound four, but I couldn't be sure they were killed by the leaf village shinobi.

"I'll tell you along the way. How about having breakfast first? We have a lot of time. For now." - I smiled as I handed him the menu.

Taking the menu, Sasuke read it in seconds. But his eyes stayed on the menu as he pondered the meaning between the lines of my words. Closing the menu, he touched the bell on the table and pressed it. A loud bell rang, notifying the waitress that she was in the kitchen.

After a couple of seconds, the same girl came out and, seeing the second handsome man at the table, froze and did not close the door to the kitchen.

Sasuke didn't even turn towards the girl and waited for her to wake up and come up.

"Rice balls and tea." - Coldly calling what he wants, Sasuke paused, examining me.

"I just have one more cup please." - leaving an empty cup, I smiled at the waitress.

"Coming soon." - has run into the kitchen, almost jumping up, the girl closed the door behind, from which new portions of quiet "kyaaa" were heard.

"Did you hear what happened to the Hidden Cloud Village?" I asked Sasuke, putting on a serious mask.

"Yes. Orochimaru's informants are working too well. The village was destroyed in one hour.. As far as I know, everyone blames Akatsuki. Why are you asking me this? "

"Because the village was attacked by one person. One woman to be precise. Her name is Konan, one of the main members of Akatsuki. She single-handedly destroyed the village by doing what tens of thousands of ninja could not do. What do you think she did it for? "

Sasuke continued to stare at me.

"I do not know." - he answered simply.

"This organization hunts for tailed beasts. Each tailed beast is capable of perpetrating the greatest catastrophe. Imagine what will happen when they collect all nine animals. Their plans are really scary. I know this because I was one of them for some time. I also managed to observe Itachi being in this organization. " - I told him calmly expecting his reaction.

Sasuke's face peeled off and surprise appeared.

"I thought you'd never tell me that," Sasuke breathed out, somehow relieved.

Raising an eyebrow, I was surprised, a bunch of thoughts and likely events flashed through my head as to why he said this.

"Orochimaru, however, has a rather long tongue. What else did he say about me? " I asked.

"Only that he has already fought with you and that I am no match for you. He constantly tried to influence me psychologically during training in order to distance me from you. Alas, his plan was too naive. " - returning the mask of composure Sasuke told.

At the same time, the door opened and the girl came out carefully walking with a tray. Placing the plates, she hugged the tray.

"Anything else?" - running her eyes from Sasuke's face to mine and back, she insolently looked at us.

"No."

"No."

Bowing, she took out a rag and began to walk over the tables, cleaning them. The doorbell rang and a noisy elderly couple entered. The second waitress came out serving them. Realizing that we will not talk here, we fell silent, consumed with breakfast.

After Sasuke had finished eating, he put the plate aside and reached inside his shirt. Taking out a black bag, he pulled out a couple of paper and laid them neatly on the table. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that he paid ten times more than the food was worth. Money seems to be his lesser concern. I decided not to lose to him and left another tip for the service.

Coming out, I looked in the direction of Sasuke, who was waiting for me and did not waste time.

"First, we need to catch any Nukenin B or A class offender. Alive by the way. It just so happens that I know the location of one of the Nukenin sand village. The former jounin went down to the robbery, what a sad story. " I sighed.

"Don't tell me you need help against the weakest of jounin." Sasuke frowned.

"Do not make me laugh." - grinning, I jumped forward and rush into the forest.

Jumping after me maintaining my speed walking in line with me jumping from stone to tree Sasuke followed me.

"How are you doing in training?" - in spite of Sasuke, I asked.

"I got stronger. Much stronger. I believe that now I am able to defeat Orochimaru. The fact that he is looking at our clan's eyes disgusts me. He is not worthy of them. " Sasuke said confidently.

"What about success with susanoo?"

At that question, I felt anger at himself in Sasuke's voice.

"This is an abnormal technique. The amount of chakra required to maintain even a simple part of the body is abnormal. I do not understand how you can use this technique and still fully shape it. I can form bones for defense and an arm for the attack, but the amount used to fully create ... I don't have that much chakra. Even with Orochimaru secret technics to expand chakra reserves. " Sasuke replied.

His voice was filled with hatred for his weakness.

"I understand your problem, but I know how to solve it. Honestly, Itachi has the same problem. It's about your eyes. "

"My eyes?" Sasuke asked in shock.

"Yes. With each use of it, Itachi's Mangyoku Sharingan goes blind and weak. But if he takes your eyes, all the side effects disappear. He will be able to form completely Sussano and become stronger. By taking activated eyes from a blood relative, you can get the next evolution of the eyes. Eternal Mangyoku Sharingan. You also need less strength and chakra to use the techniques. "

"So that's why you can shape completely Sussano!" Sasuke exclaimed. But at the same moment, having rounded the tree, he moved away from me, choosing an easier path. After a couple of seconds, returning to the previous path, following me, he continued.

"Then your eyes turn out ... Where did you get them from?" I frowned at his question.

"I have a regular mangyoku, Sasuke. Apparently, my eyes are special, although I don't know why. I've used eyes many times, but I still see well. Although there were moments when my eyes seemed to shrink and dry. After they recover, I only noticed a pearlescent circle in my eye which is difficult to see. I do not know what this all means, but if this power will help me achieve my goals ... "- when I finished, I jumped out into the clearing and realizing that we were on the spot immediately jumped back into the trees.

"We are on the spot." - raising my hand, I peered in search of traps or the presence of traces of people.

"It's clear." - Switching on the task Sasuke began to look around.

"How much experience do you have in the open field?" - I looked at him.

"Enough."

"For example?"

Realizing that I would not stop questioning, Sasuke frowned.

"Orochimaru often sent me on missions. One day he arranged for the prisoners to escape and told me to catch or kill every single one. I caught everyone alive. I have enough experience for missions. I will be able to help you with whatever you need help right now." - finished telling Sasuke and went to the side of the path and without uttering a sound walk through the trees like a ghost in the direction where the footprints were going.

"There." - Sasuke waved his hand and pointed to the place that covered the branches.

Having activated the Sharingan, I checked for the presence of chakra around, but did not notice anything. Having created one clone, giving him a minimum of chakra, I landed near Sasuke and signaled the clone to go. The clone went inside and after half a minute, memories came to my mind. There were no traps, but there were signs of a recent presence. Jumping from the tree, I went to the side of the cave and realized that it was made with a B rank technique. So we are on the right track and the apostate of the village is nearby. However, there was an unpleasant thing inside.

Going inside with Sasuke, we saw an extinguished fire, garbage, and a young girl. Lying naked on the rocks there was no doubt that she was already dead. Her bruises, cuts, and blue skin left an unpleasant feeling somewhere inside. Turning around, I left the cave and looking at Sasuke realized that he hadn't changed in his face either. He was no longer the child who would rush to the corpse and try to help her. The world is cruel and Sasuke has learned to put up with it. However, I still believe that he still retained the principles of morality and ethics. Thus, he will still feel pity for that victim.

"How do we find them now," Sasuke asked looking at me.

Sighing, I closed my eyes. The chakra tension came out of me creating a crack in the ground under my feet. After releasing an array of chakra from myself, I used the sound technique in the sage form.

The clapping of the palms created a loud explosion, from which Sasuke jumped, covering his ears. Listening and feeling every movement in the forest, I focused until I found something that was different from the usual background.

"I found them follow me." - removing the natural chakra and exhaling, I ran towards where I felt the chakra and sounds.

Without asking questions Sasuke followed me and after six minutes we left the dense forest and were already running along the road. Ahead, the chakra of one person disappeared as if he was hiding, but, they were not professional ninjas, and some were generally people.

"I only want Jounin. Kill the rest. " I briefly told Sasuke in case he will kill him by accident. Having received a nod in return, I turned towards the bandits who were already frightened by the unknown who appeared out of nowhere at high speed.

As ordinary people, they were scared terribly when they realized that we were ninjas. However, killing and raping, they had to be ready for a similar fate when stepping on this path.

Ignoring the traps along the way, I accelerated, stopped holding back and stopped right in front of two frightened bandits. In an attempt to somehow kill me, they used something similar to knives, but waving my hands like a mill, I broke both spines effortlessly and threw bodies forward, activating the traps designed for me. Noticing out of the corner of my eye how Sasuke had already killed three others and put the katana back into its scabbard indifferently, I slowly stepped over the shredded bodies of the kunai traps towards the hiding ninja who got into the bingo book as a class A nukenin. A decent reward was assigned to his head, but I was not interested in it.

This garbage was worthy of only two things, but alas, I had not yet gotten one of them, so I can only use it as a defective puppet. During these couple of days I got information and found that Gaara was still alive, he was rescued, and his grandmother sacrificed herself to save him. The worst thing was that according to the canon, these events were supposed to happen in a year and a half when Naruto stopped his training with Jiraiya. Maybe I will visit later this village for this technique. But not now…

A deadly stream of stones hit me from the shadow of a tree, but with a lot of trees around I used my speed and instantly found myself near the jounin. A swarthy man with eyes filled with fear was already trying to close the distance and opened both hands, throwing shurikens at me that were exactly aimed at limbs. By dodging them at high speed, I created the feeling of walking through the shuriken. When I reached the ninja, I instantly hit the solar plexus almost knocking him out of consciousness. Hiting him on the ears instantly while he fell, I stunned him. And while he was getting up, embarrassed, I grabbed the hair with my right hand. Lifting his head up and activating the sharingan i focused.

"Look into my eyes." - Instinctively, he looked into my eyes and his face was filled with horror. But after a second, his eyes darkened as soon as his brain went into a vegetable state. Pulling the seal from my pocket, I placed it on his head and folded the seal of concentration with my free hand.

"HM!" - destroying the seal and applying it at the same time, I put a seal on his skull. According to my idea, this seal suppresses any self-consciousness of a person making him an ideal puppet. But if I tell him to attack the enemy, he will rush forward without thinking. And if the enemy tells him to kill himself, he will kill himself without thinking. Such a usseles puppet.

However, it was just right for my business, since I could create an image of the one to whom he would obey and the one whom he would idolize with the Sharingan. Thus, my orders will be prioritized.

Exhaling a sigh of relief, I smiled at Sasuke as he stood and looked at what had happened with his arms crossed.

"Why is he important alive to you." - he asked.

"For the second part of the plan. His life is important and will affect me in the future. Don't let him die until we get to the land of Uzumaki. "

Wide-eyed Sasuke was surprised to hear about the land of the redheads. Lost in thought, he did not understand what I needed there.

"Don't worry, I have everything prepared. Sasuke call your eagle, we fly so as not to waste time. I want to have time to do everything in one day. Are you with me?"

Sasuke nodded, folded the seals and summoned the eagle, which stared at us after a short greeting.

Having folded the seals, I summoned my eagle and was surprised to see one whom I did not expect to see. The Great Eagle is much larger than Sasuke's young summoned eagle, and he looked at me with interest. With white feathers in front and ash wings, Hairo looked at me, waiting for the answer why I had summoned him.

"Hairo? I thought you were busy and you don't want me to call you. " - I was surprised. Indeed, the eagles themselves choose whom they will call from the scroll with the contract. There was a point about the size depending on the amount of chakra I will call them in the form of an eagle or a sparrow. Hairo responded first and came, which was strange in itself. He was a very proud and responsible eagle. And since he knew that I often call Wansai and Asami over trifles, it is strange that he came.

"I got bored on the mountain and decided why not. Or are you against my company? "

"No no! I'm just glad. We haven't communicated for a long time. Now we have a serious situation. Can you take the two of us to the Uzumaki lands? "

Hairo thought about it.

"Okay, I'll take you to the red-haired demons. But I don't know where I am. We will need some time to figure out where to fly. "

"We need to fly west." Sasuke said, standing next to his eagle.

"And you must be Sasuke." Hairo asked.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke continued to stare at the eagle with a strange look. After a couple of minutes, he looked at his as if comparing.

"Why are you looking at me like this, let's go." - came the voice of a young eagle and only now I realized that this is not a guy, but a girl.

After a couple of minutes we were already flying high in the sky while Hairo picked up speed controlling it so that the young eagle did not lag behind. The journey was long, even at the speed of eagles.

While we were flying, Sasuke did not stop talking to me.

"I'm tired of waiting for you to tell me why we are flying to the land of Uzumaki. What do you want to do and why do you need my help? " - standing calmly, crossing his arms on the eagle, Sasuke did not seem to notice the strong wind.

Hearing him, I decided not to hide from him and say right away.

"We're going to meet Naruto's father. What do you know about him? "
