Reposting this since a lot of you asked, the Itachi and Kisame chapter have been sent to a couple of people☺️

But i’m putting this for public (again)

Darkness covers the quiet sparkling sky robe, a man silently stood there watching as the silver moon is ever so calming it is as if the calmness of itself wrapping around him like a cradle.

But it is as if the moonlight is too precarious to light the feet of people, but the heart—is a different story. The moonlight, are for those who are shaky, indefensible and safe people, and yet the darkness, is for those who are strong, to show them the way.

The strong moonlight illuminates the way that this man is going, even though the darkness soon fulfills the wishes of such people such as this man himself, the strong light beyond the darkness crosses the sea and it slowly ends to the end of the mountain.

The moon is hidden, the stars have fled as they relegated to the end of the mountain, what you tell an end to the night.

He ran away in this journey, month by month for this redemption.

The Akatsuki.

Which is the light of the dawn that is going to burn the shadow of the night.

The soar splash of the river that flows through the valley floor is swept away in the wind, there the calming atmosphere within the foliage rich forest that extends along the valley which is a hundred years old.

Here, you can see the clearance of a man’s fearless features that proceeds to walk in a certain gait while feeling the faint spilling of the light from the gap of such trees, though the say this man is once only a pupil who has harbored such a strong force within him as he have grown up.

But now, here, he is an adult, though his youth is pretty framed from his facial structures.

This man’s name is Uchiha Sasuke, his journey is driven because of the past revenge, death, and all the hatred inside.

A little before this story, he lived alone, cut off, truncated everything he left behind and he then, was considered a criminal.

Now, we know his own sin.

You are yourself.

And the travelling alone is a way to redeem it, and to reconsider his own shadow.

His own crimes were, and should have made him imprisoned, and that was actually one of the main reasons why Sasuke is doing this in the darkness.

But, his charges were dropped and he is able to walk in the flittering sunshine freely, thanks to Uzumaki Naruto, or the shinobi that is now referred to “The Sun of Konohagakure”

Then, Sasuke was desperately trying to break his ties of friendship with Uzumaki Naruto, but now Sasuke was grateful to him, and he is relieved that he did not let go of their friendship back then, many thanks to him, now that he still never lets go of their friendship, back then Naruto was the only one that has faith in him.

But that was not all, even though he have abandoned, ditched, and many times cold to this certain person,

Haruno Sakura has dedicated her love for me 

And always tries to give the spring sunshine in his own dark life.

And also, the frozen colored hair shinobi, Hatake Kakashi, Sasuke’s teacher, he always continued to watch Sasuke, and treat him like he is still a member of Team 7, even now during these past-conflict days, he still trusts Sasuke, even Kakashi gave him the freedom to see the world like a scarecrow.

And, I had the help of many other people..

Now, everything changed for the better and, everyone, including himself can feel it.

“….Hmm…?”

Sasuke is still going on while sucking on the cool air from his nose, and he felt a strong light on the tip of his sights.

“Over there must be the end of the woods.” He mumbled to himself.

And then he continued down towards the light at the end of the forest, and then Sasuke felt the surprising light spread upon exiting the forest, and the final sight is a surprising sight.

There was saplings about Sasuke’s stature that has spread to the other side.

“This forest is still young..” Sasuke thought, the youth of the forest reminded Sasuke of the youth of children.

Sasuke barely ever thought of such beauty, or to even think of such a thing, of how the sun shines down to the young trees and made them look like they are bathing in the sun.

“White flowers…”

The root below the trees are carpeted with white beautiful flowers that had bloomed.

The blowing wind comes carrying the sweet smell of flowers, and then Sasuke paused as he is suddenly invited to the beautiful scenery of the young trees.

And Sasuke looked down as he approaches the flowers, with what wonder, he thought, when looking at the flowers it grew a calm peaceful feeling inside.

I would not have liked this scenery, if I was still the old Sasuke, even in the presence of these flowers. Back then, I must have not noticed these kind of things, While I think that I must have overlooked past these things—

As he was deep in thoughts he accidentally stepped on a flower when suddenly there was a reluctant movement that creeps near him.

“Paper shurikens!”

Sasuke heard the dashing voice.

Sasuke could reflect a young boy running between the interval of the young trees, must have been 7 or 8 years old, and wearing a hat with an island pattern.

“Butterfly season!” Shout the boy with all one strength and throwing something as he did so, while making his own sound effects.

If you look well, it seems like the boy is throwing paper shurikens with the paper neatly folded, Sasuke cannot tell whether they are explosives or not.

Not of course if this boy has a killing ability, this boy looks like he wants to skip straight to the point, but fanned from the blown up wind from the immediate vicinity of the valley bottom, the paper shurikens had scattered in all directions.

“Oh, wow, hahaha, you know, all you needed was just one.”

Also heard another voice, a little away from the boy, another boy was standing, the boy has the wonders of the other boy’s face that probably exceeds about ten years old.

“You are staggering down your chest as if it was our only paper shurikens, brother Oomitsu.”

“Hup da!” The other boy leaped forward.

“Even only one… one can also blow.. what’s the word? A kaboom!” The other boy continued.

Apparently these two people are brothers, brother number one must have been better trained than brother number 2, or brother number 2 is playing as a co-star compared to the older brother.

“So, now is my turn.” The older brother, Oomitsu said as he picked up and raised one paper shuriken and threw it, it was precise waving and fluttering in the wind and the little brother, ran away trying to escape the throw of his brother.

“If so, I will have to avoid it.” The little brother said as he zoomed away

The big brother is staring at his brother with a laugh and a smile, the paper shuriken slowly captures well in the wind, as it flies while drawing itself like a gentle parabola.

“And… Hit!” Said the older brother.

It was a superb hit to the little brother and it looked like the island patterned hat took the price.

“What the?! Why did you hit me?!”

“It would only hurt if you say it hurts. To begin with I wouldn’t have to hit you if you didn’t act snobby at the first place, little brother Komitsu.” The big brother explained to his brother.

“How am I supposed to not hurt?!” Then the boy pointed at the shuriken stuck in his hat, “That thing is almost stuck in my head!”

“You don’t have to be such a jerk about it, you do realize it has now dropped on your feet right?”

Oomitsu is pointing at the paper shuriken that has fell on top of the white flowers.

“Oh, this looks like you win this time, brother.” Komitsu says in chagrined overlooking the paper shuriKomitsu.

“Oh well, that was only one trick, but your luck was good.”

“Hey that’s a lie, a lie! Hey, hey! Show me your other tricks!” The little brother whined.

The big brother smile seemed troubled this time and he stroked his little brother’s bangs.

This gesture, and their facial expressions reminds Sasuke about the past, how the brother who is so respected, and the clumsy acts of the little brother.

Then, when it was my time, it would have been me running around like that.

Then Oomitsu answered, “My tricks? Meditation by taking care of kids like you, and even so, I would be able to do what I am able to do when I am able to!”

The tone of the big brother is now more playful and the little brother is still looking down by his feet that is in an outrageous situation.

“Ah?!”

Suddenly the wind blew from the valley’s bottom, and most of the scattered paper shurikens almost fell to the egde.

“Hey, wait!” Komitsu ran to the cliff trying to pick each shuriken one by one.

Little did he knew the shuriken as he tried to grab the soaring shuriken by the end of the cliff, his body suddenly went down and almost fell to the pit.

But then he felt strong hands catch him before he did so and dragged him away from falling down.

Suddenly, Komitsu’s innocent eyes landed in time to meet Sasuke’s watching eyes.

“You don’t need to worry, I had it covered!” Said Komitsu, somehow Sasuke knew it wasn’t true.

Instead of showing gratitude this boy is still trying to convince him that he has got it covered, but truth be told, he would have fallen down that pit if it wasn’t for Sasuke.

“Ohh…” It was Oomitsu now that is painting in relief as he is in now in a state of genuine relief even while rebuked after a close call with outrageous hash.

But then the little brother spoke again,

“Um, I am deeply sorry, thank you for your help, Nii-san.” The little brother said as he bowed his head down as a sign of gratitude towards his savior.

Then Sasuke held out what looks like another helping hand and the brother took it and stood up.

But then, Sasuke gave out another object.

“My paper shurikens!” The little brother sounds delighted that his precious weapons were in no harm as he had an impressed expression during accepting his weapons back.

“Hey, why do you have the same look as that ninja Naruto?”

Sasuke’s orbs widen at the sudden question, it was a clear difference between Sasuke and Naruto, this kid probably hasn’t seen Naruto in real life just yet.

“Naruto…?”

Sasuke felt embarrassed at the words that came out of his mouth, and also he was embarrassed for being mistaken for Naruto.

“Well, his eyes doesn’t look like the ones they tell you that much, Naruto’s are round.” The big brother somehow corrected.

“Oh yeah, they probably are, but he could be him though!”

Apparently Sasuke seems to have transmitted to his own thoughts as it was seen on his eyes of the reminiscent of his own memories of Naruto ate him up.

“So, with that, Ninja’s probably do have their own varities, now huh?” The little brother opened his mouth again.

Although I might always be attached to the name Naruto, but in the public eye, they couldn’t see that, and especially this kid who thinks that I am Naruto himself.

Sasuke opened his mouth,

“Oh”

Was the only thing that came out.

“Oh my God! You are so cool!” The little brother must have been more encouraged into thinking Sasuke is Naruto, even though Sasuke himself didn’t say anything to confirm that.

Sasuke’s grip that has been helf with a hard grasp loosened as he saw the boy’s expression on how he reacted with excitement and happiness.

“Yeah! Oh brother! I want to be like Naruto nii-san! I want you to teach me some ninjutsu, yeah!”

“What are you even saying, little brother?” Oomitsu sweat dropped, “I am sorry, it has been a long time since he saw anyone else than our family, I think we should be heading out to play, please do not worry about him.”

Oomitsu is troubled trying to suppress his brother, but the little brother managed to get closer to where Sasuke is standing.

It has became that troublesome.

“We were definitely not playing around, infact we are here to train!”

Then suddenly Sasuke was filled happy memories as he also remembered when he was that small, and eager to train with his brother,

This boy reminds me of myself when I was young.

Sasuke’s eyes wonder to the excited figure below him..

“…Huh..”

Although Sasuke is not one to be fond with this kind of thing as it is probably just a waste of time, he only has a month left of this journey of his to redeem for what he did.

“Lend me that.”

Sasuke’s hand extends to the paper shuriken.

“Done!” The boy passed the paper shuriken joyfully to Sasuke.

This time the wind blows from the valley’s bottom and then one white petal in particular falls a couple of feet in front of Sasuke as it danced and he aimed the shuriken into it.

Sasuke throws the paper shuriken in a gesture, it is now flowing with it’s speed and exact calculations that cannot be compared to how the brothers did it.

And the shuriken pierce the petal that are aimed as Sasuke hits them perfectly.

“Oh!”

“Wow!”

“Amazing, just amazing!”

“You are so cool!”

The brothers expressed their excitement with their mouths open wide.

“The trick much of it is on the intensity of the paper, or you can use your chakra, but I wasn’t using mine back then, it can be your good arm throw.”

If only I have my complete other arm…

“Naruto nii-san, Wow! Oh and—“ Komitsu said excited as he tried to pick up the remaining shuriKomitsus.

“It’s Sasuke..”

Both brothers was quiet for a moment, “What?”

“Sasuke, my name is Sasuke…”

And then they started laughing and smiling at him.

“Sasuke nii-san!”

In this place, blowing through the win so as to be stumbled together from the summit from the valley’s bottom, standing by some paper shurikens.

These shurikens are on the ground as if they were thrown by someone earlier.

“And thus how you do it..”

There is also nothing benefiting for Sasuke to be good and caring to these two, but still it wasn’t an excuse to mean mouth them.

Sasuke told and show the little brother how to throw the paper shuriken.

“After this, do it on your own.”

“Understood, Sasuke nii-san!”

Then Sasuke walked away as the boy started to throw his paper shurikens by himself.

I will leave this place early to get back to my original life, and lose this beautiful scenery of young trees and lose the innocent looks from these two boys.

Sasuke then puts himself down on the grass.

“Excuse me, but I might have to leave this party early..” Sasuke told them briefly and added some other excuses such as “leaving because I am getting tired” whims, and scratching the back of his head apologetically.

Komitsu tried to protest against the decision that Sasuke made, but Oomitsu lowered his head in a relieving attitude regarding the situation, this kindness was still not familiar for Sasuke.

“What—What, Sasuke nii-san?!” Komitsu stopped throwing shurikens to react to Sasuke’s statement.

Then Oomitsu just walked away and started to pick up the shurikens to help his brother out.

The older brother seems to have expected that reaction from his younger brother, but Sasuke says,

“Oh my, you can’t just leave your weapons like that, you should go and pick those paper shurikens up yourself.”

Then the little brother called out the figure behind him picking the shurikens, “Brother!”

Komitsu approached him even though it was troublesome for him, he had his brother picking them up for him but Sasuke nii-san told him so, so he pressed his lips tightly,

“Sasuke nii-san told me to do this, you go on and rest!” Then he scattered away to pick up the rest.

And Sasuke rises.

I should pick some of these up, it’s not nice seeing that kid working while I am just sitting and waiting.

“Oh, wait wait..” Oomitsu tried to taught him out of it but the brother is still picking up the shurikens and tell him to go rest, “All right then.”

The little brother then noticed Sasuke helping him out by picking some of the shurikens that were left near where Sasuke is standing.

While the big brother ran to go to stand next to Sasuke.

“I want to say, that I am glad you decided to help us.”

Sasuke just smiled lightly as he also understands.

“You know, this is going to take your time, picking all of these one by one, it is also going to hold off your journey but if you must go instantly, it is not good for you to spoil us like this, we re just holding you back, you are helping too much.”

And it looks like Sasuke too is committed to pick up these troublesome shurikens,

“Oh well..” Oomitsu sighed then went under a tree to sit down, the expression of the big brother went cloudy little by little.

“You know, I am useless as a brother, I am just too overprotective, I always naghim around with this and that, I always take precaution that my little brother cannot fail.”

Then he paused again.

“It looks like it has been a habit of mine to lend a hand proactively but as a habit, there is no bottom line for one to help my brother everyday, but this is not what you are supposed to do, this is my responsibility.”

Now the big brother is showing his shameless self as he kept on suffering from knee to knee everyday, Sasuke noticed this and glanced sideways, looking to the little brother that has no idea how much his brother is trying for him and hen the boy glanced back at Sasuke returning his line of sight, and Sasuke knew that the boy doesn’t realize how to cherish his brother while they are still young and aging.

“I am going to show you, Sasuke nii-san! My role model!”

In one hand the two brother figures have different feelings, the small figure that is still innocent that doesn’t even know things yet, again it was something that overlaps with Sasuke.

Then, it was only be a matter of time, the little brother has improved the way he is throwing his shurikens, like he had grown some guts in himself, but until now he still continues to throw the endless paper shurikens.

His arms are better risen compared to before, and it is as if he has adapted that quickly, the shuriken flies and smacked the target quite good.

“It is amazing, you seem better now, huh, little brother?” the figure below the tree smiled and was pleased with the growth of the little brother with his shurikens.

The praised brother is also proud, he too probably has realized his growth.

“Oh….”

However when is eyes were transferred to the empty west, it was an upset facial expression as he noticed something, it was getting dark, the light of the day is tilting away, it signaled them to go end the day, and all of them turned to look at the sight as well, with no words spoken, it was daybreak going up now, quiet on the rise.

“It’s the Akatsuki” That’s what Sasuke heard from the little boy’s mouth.

Akatsuki.

His body froze even at hearing the word.

“No, silly, it’s not the akatsuki (dawn), Akatsuki is not the evening, because it means the light of dawn..” Oomitsu is softly to correct the words of his little brother.

The young light of dawn might look alike with the color of the sun setting.

Reflexively, Sasuke let out a small laugh.

However the little brother’s expression is not clear, it was showing some sort of suffering, he’s now clinging to his brother, Oomitsu.

From the valley bottom, cold wind is blowing up, petals are blown into the western sky.

Oomitsu stroked the head of his brother as he saw the empty west dyed red.

“Our family was killed by the Akatsuki.”

Those words that came out unpeeled Sasuke’s eyes with sadness.

Suddenly, he is aware of the rainbow red color that reflects the red sunset, it reminds him of the black clothing with a similar red in it that looked like the color of blood spreading in the form of red clouds pattern.

He went back to the time Sasuke met his brother again, he was wearing the clothing that was quite similar in form of what Sasuke and Komitsu is wearing right now, like a dark black robe, that has the Akatsuki symbol, the red clouds pattern.

The big brother instead had a dark heavy sinking look and it did not go unnoticed by Sasuke.

Each member has a great amount of power, they were all contained in the darkness of the organization that spread fear among many shinobi in their presence.

Turns out, this is their story..

The story of the Akatsuki.
