CHAPTER 2

It's been many days since I started flying as a Hawk and left Konoha. I initially left Konoha with map and food for a week and my supplies were running low. On my way to Kumogakure through Kusagakure, I saw Karin Uzumaki healing some people by getting bitten by them. I knew that Karin had a sad backstory and decided that she would be a useful Partner. So when nobody was looking, I flew to her, and spoke "Hello Karin Uzumaki, I hope you are fine. Join me and you can have a better life".

She was shocked and yelled, "Wait how is a hawk speaking to me, how are you able to speak to me and how do you know me?".

Chuckling, I transformed to Sasuke and replied, "I know who you are Karin, doesn't matter how I know. All that matters is that do you want to get bitten for the rest of your life or not. I can take you to a place where you can live a better life".

Seeing my face, she immediately decided I was her Saviour. We spoke for a while and then she asked, "So Sasuke Kun, how are we going to escape here, people will see me."

"Do you know the Henge Jutsu? If you do then you can also transform into a bird and fly with me". 

She was elated at the plan, together we hoarded some food supplies, transformed into birds and flew off. It took us more than a month to reach Kumogakure where we were immediately summoned to the Fourth Raikage A. He was irritated, "So who are you brats, and what are you doing here in Kumo. How did you come here?".

"I am Sasuke Uchiha and this is Karin Uzumaki. We have come here to join Kumo. We can be a great force for Kumogakure. All we seek is a place to call home".

I then told him about the Truth of Uchiha massacre. Given that how A was a greedy guy for Kekkei Genkai, we were immediately accepted into Kumo. Karin began training to become a full time Medic Nin and doctor in Kumo so that she could heal people without getting bitten.

I asked A to train me so that I could use the Lightning Cloak Nintaijutsu to become fast and strong like him. Since my primary elemental nature as Sasuke was lightning, he started brutally training me. And since I was not Naruto, I could not make more than 1 shadow clone initially. I didn't know the hand signs for Chidori. But I knew how to learn the Rasengan. So, the clone me learnt Rasengan while the real me trained with Raikage regularly to condition my body and use the Lightning cloak Nintaijutsu.

Like this 4 years passed by. I was now taller than canon Sasuke at 12-13 years of age because of the continuous physical training. I cut off Sasuke's side bangs, so I looked more like Jin Kazama from Tekken. I could now use Lightning Cloak Nintaijutsu along with the Rasengan. And I could use the Lightning cloak Nintaijutsu at almost 80% of the Raikage's level. But this coupled with my 2 tomoe sharingan increased my reaction times and speeds further. I somehow never went past awakening 2 Tomoe sharingan. So Mangekyo, EMS were out of question for me given how I was treating everything like a game and there would be no emotional trigger. 

One day, the Raikage A suggested I become an Anbu instead of a Genin so that my identity could be kept a secret. I got a good Anbu gear with a mask to conceal my identity.

So the first thing I did was go on a mission to Coliseum with my Anbu squad where many shinobi with different Kekkei Genkai were made to fight in the underworld. It took a lot of time finding that place since it was very well hidden on some remote island. There we defeated all the Kekkei Genkai Shinobi and brought them to Kumo where they were reinstated as Shinobi of Kumo. A was pretty happy with this development along with many people of Kumogakure.  I was promoted to an Anbu captain at age 13 because of this.

Our next mission was an important one. There was a common trade route to Konoha and Kumo. Both villages were trying to capture the route silently for profits, only through Anbu so that a full blown Shinobi war doesn't get triggered and the peace treaty between the villages doesn't get annulled.

Here I met Kakashi with his Anbu Squad which had many members along with Yamato. Seeing Kakashi, I knew this was a chance to get a better eye, the Mangekyo Sharingan. And seriously Kamui was overpowered, given how DMS Kakashi could fight Kaguya. I knew that there would be bloodshed in the path of shinobi. But I was ready, since after all to me these guys were just some game characters.

Our 2 groups immediately started fighting. Kakashi immediately used his Raikiri and took out many of my comrades. Yamato with his wood style was also very formidable. But I was not backing down because I activated my sharingan and began copying Kakashi's jutsu. The Konoha shinobi were shell shocked. 

Kakashi asked, "Who are you, how do you have the Sharingan? Are you an Uchiha? Because if you are an Uchiha, you must be a Konoha shinobi, not Kumo's".

"I am an Uchiha of Kumo, not Konoha. I could care less of what happens to your village. This route is important for Kumo, and I will crush you all, if that's what it takes".

I started spamming Rasengan, Chidori (his Raikiri) and Lightning Cloak Nintaijutsu while keeping my 2 Tomoe Sharingan active through the mask. The Konoha Shinobis kept falling one by one. With my super speed, I removed Kakashi's sharingan from his eye socket before he could even react (I got Karin to teach me how to remove eyes since in this world everyone could simply remove eyes from eye sockets like Danzo and Shisui). 

Yamato yelled while supporting Kakashi who looked like he was about to pass about, "Are you going to kill us too. Go ahead but know this that the will of fire burns brightly and someone else will come and defeat you for sure".

I started laughing at this. "I am not going to kill you. I am letting you live so that you deliver a message to your village. Go to your village and inform your elders that as long the Uchiha of Kumo exists, Konoha will never win against us".

Kakashi was very angry judging by the reaction of his sole eye. I was having quite fun and spoke, "What's the matter, feeling weak now that you no longer are Kakashi of the Sharingan. Well, let's make this interesting".

I removed my own left eye (Sasuke's left eye) which was 2 Tomoe and threw it to Kakashi. "Get that eye Transplanted by someone from your Anbu Squad so that you can still have the Sharingan. Thanks for giving me a Mangekyou Sharingan by the way. Now get going from here before I change my mind and kill all of you".

They had no choice but to retreat. Kumo captured the route and my popularity among the village leadership and people further increased.
