Uchiha Sasuke and Izumi
Around one and a half month passed since the Uchiha Massacre, and Sasuke finally woke up.
He was feeling a terrible headache, and the scenes of Itachi killing everyone was still playing in his mind.
"Oh you woke up! I will bring Hokage-sama right now. Here, drink this."
The nurse handed him water, and he drank it with some difficulty. His throat was very dry.
As the nurse left, he could only look out of the window. Realising that he was now alone. That his big brother has betrayed him.
Perhaps, all the love and care Itachi showed to him was an act all along?
"You are awake, Sasuke."
A familiar voice called out to him, and he immediately looked towards the source of the voice.
"Izumi!? You are alive!?"
His voice was cranky, yet, he shouted in joy. There was someone else who was alive!
Izumi just stared at him. The dark circles under her eyes were haunting. As if she hasn't slept for days.
She moved to him like a zombie, and her eyes turned into 3 tomoe Sharingan.
"Itachi killed my mother...
So, I should get revenge on him by killing you..."
Her voice held no emotions, and Sasuke felt like he was going to be killed.
She took out a kunai, and plunged it into him.
"AAAAAHHHH!"
Or atleast tried to. But, an ANBU guarding Sasuke deflected the kunai and knocked her out.
"You are safe."
At the voice of the ANBU, Sasuke opened his eyes, to see Izumi being taken away.
"Don't worry. She is just stressed. She will be alright in a few days."
His words did nothing to calm him down. His breathing was uneven, and he was shaking.
It wasn't until Hokage arrived and put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder that he calmed down a little.
"Sasuke. You are safe. No one is going to harm you."
"Itachi-"
"We are constantly looking for him. Rest assured, we will find him and bring him to pay for his crimes-"
"NO! I will personally kill him! He said I wasn't even worth killing! So I will show him that he made the biggest mistake of his life by leaving me alive!"
Sasuke shouted about revenge, and Hiruzen could only sigh. It was only natural for Sasuke to want to kill Itachi, but he hoped that he will eventually calm down and not get consumed by darkness.
"Alright. We will try to keep tabs on his location. But Sasuke, don't be too consumed by revenge. Focus on getting stronger right now. A calm and collected mind will be your greatest asset.
When you are strong enough to face Itachi, we will help you to get to him. Alright?"
"...Hn."
"Sadly, only you and Izumi have survived the ordeal. I have prepared an appointment for you near the Hokage Tower. And don't worry about Izumi, I will talk to her. She was just not feeling alright. She doesn't want to kill you or anything."
Hiruzen actually prepared for the two to live together. But now that Izumi just tried to kill Sasuke, it will be best if they live separately.
It seems that Izumi's mental state is not right right now.
Will she really teach the 'second child of prophecy'?
And, is the 'second child of prophecy' Sasuke?
If that's the case, then the first one is...
Naruto?
Do they have some destiny, somewhat similar to Hashirama and Madara?
Hiruzen could only shake his head due to that thought.
It didn't seem too far-fetched though. Since Itachi has already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, perhaps, Sasuke will awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in the future and come close to Madara's power?
I have to consider a lot of things for Sasuke and Naruto...
