Chapter: Cruelty


His eyes narrowed at the back of the orange masked head, this hadn’t been part of the deal, and further more this hadn’t been how he’d described it would go. He clenched his teeth trying to fight off the bitter taste in his mouth. Once again he’d been used, used because he was to caught up in himself to really see past all that was really going on. In this case ignorance hadn’t turned out to be blissful.

“This is not the deal we made.” He stated.

“True, but it turned out so much more interesting don’t you think?” cooed Tobi.

Sasuke found Tobi to be irritating more so than anyone else he had come into contact put together and then multiplied by four. He knew that Tobi was some facet of Madara’s personality so fully ingrained that somehow he’d become a second being inside the body. Unlike split personality though, Madara always knew full well what was going on and vise versa.

“Don’t see how the shameless massacre of millions is more interesting.” He answered flat.

Tobi turned and looked at him his head quirked to the side as if considering the sentence. Sasuke felt his hackles rise, but fought to keep it under control. He didn’t mind Madara, though that man too was irritating, but Tobi was always worse. The feigned innocence was like watching some serial killer lick a bloodied blade with some sick smile plastered on.

“Hm, does it matter how your wish came about? Tobi granted your wish in the end didn’t he? Konoha lays in ruins everyone is dead or is in the process of dying.” Sasuke could hear the smile in the voice.

Sasuke looked away as if disinterested in the entire affair his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. Tobi smiled beneath the mask before his eye swirled into the familiar color that was Madara. He didn’t trust where this conversation was going hence why Tobi had to be pushed back in his mind. It was time to be tactful not coy.

“You got what you wished for.” Madara replied coolly.

“Yes, but now millions are being destroyed. You explained to me that they would all simply fall under an illusion blinded by everything and live under your control. You never mentioned this gory outcome.” Sasuke stated looking out across the red and black shadowed land and the death that seemed to bleed into the ground.

Madara shrugged, “an unexpected turn of events, but more satisfactory as it lessens the chance of rebuke.”

“Hm.” came the sound of disapproval.

“We are in a world of ninja, this was a likely outcome in the end. The jutsu was a theory at best and though I have great amounts of power I am still picking out the kinks.” Madara paused, “It doesn’t matter though as I said this is far more satisfactory. Once the worse settles the new shall rise and my dream of peace shall be realized and Uchiha will retain all the power as it should have always been.”

Sasuke looked at him sideways distastefully. He would not stand for this, but he also knew that Madara now had a body that was unstoppable, Naruto’s once Kyuubii would make sure of that. The cold wind blew ruffling his clothes and hair bringing with it the stench of decay and he fought the urge to scrunch his nose. He would not be able to end this himself, and the only people left who could help were quite possibly dead.

“You should go and kill off some of those who refuse to simply die or fall under my control. It will take the edge off.” Madara suggested.

Sasuke smirked, “you trust me to leave?”

Sasuke could feel the returning smirk rake over his nerves, “you and I both know you can do nothing to me.” He paused looking away, “besides eventually you will see how this is better you’re an Uchiha after all we all see things in shades of red.”

Sasuke muttered a disgusted sound and turned walking away, “Whatever.”

Tobi watched him leave while Madara thought about what to do with him. The younger shunobi of leaf was volatile in the best of moods which made him hard to predict. Yet he’d gotten what he wanted out of the man, so if he needed to he could kill him now. Yet if he just out right killed the last Uchiha, Kisame could prove to be difficult. If he were to kill Sasuke he would have to do it secretly just in case, but for now he would allow Sasuke time to adjust. With out the annoyingly vibrant and every forgiving blonde keeping Sasuke teetering on the fence the young shunobi would more than likely become a dark and brooding Uchiha like the rest of family. The young man had all the right qualities; anger, vengeance, the darkness and arrogance that was the Uchiha. Yes with time Sasuke would understand and agree that this was best if not then he would die, simple enough.

Sasuke walked past Kisame as the shark man came towards Madara’s chambers. He nodded at the blue colored man and continued on his way pissed as all hell about the current circumstances. It couldn’t be left this way, but then maybe Madara had a point about his giving it time to sink in and settle. It was quite possible, it bothered him more for the gory nature than the fact that millions were dead. Still, a lot of those people were more than likely innocent, possibly children. The thought of children loosing their entire family bothered him greatly and his frown deepened.

“So much like his brother.”

“Yet so very different. Less perfect.”

Sasuke shot Zetsu a glare, and stopped walking to look at the tri-colored freak of a plant. If there was someone who he might find more annoying that Tobi, it would be Zetsu. The guy was a complete creep, and enjoyed pointing shit out to Sasuke.

“What the hell are you looking at?” Sasuke asked him.

“Oh, nothing much really.”

“Possible super.”

“Only if Madara grows displeased.”

Sasuke sneered, “Doesn’t bother you that there won’t be anymore sun?”

“We am only part plant.”

“Yes partial plant, we feed on humans they have more energy than the sun anyway.”

“More tasteful going down too.”

“Much more warm flesh.”

Sasuke resisted the urge to bark some sort of comeback at the creature. Zetsu was just trying to bother him. The man was trying to get Sasuke to give him a reason to fight. He would have already fought the thing, but Zetsu seemed to be as mysterious to pin down as Madara was. For not the plant wouldn’t need to worry about him attacking, not until Sasuke had more information to work with.

“Get out of my way.” He growled.

Zetsu complied but just barely, making Sasuke brush up against him. Zetsu smirked and Sasuke ignored it. He had better things to do other than get annoyed form some plant getting his rocks off from pestering the fuck out of him. Slamming open the doors to the outside world he kept walking, Madara had told him to go kill something. The hell he was going to listen to that back stabbing sociopath, he was going to head to Otogakura the place his team more than likely went back to. Maybe he could enlist some of the nin there that wasn’t loyal to Orochimaru, and hadn’t fallen to the curse.

For the first time in years he felt a type of fear grip him, it was possible that only those that were here on Madara’s side would be unaffected. With all the death going on, what would he encounter? Would he see something he could never unsee? He shook his head, whatever was to happen he would just do what needed to be done. There couldn’t be anything worse than seeing your family die by your brother’s hand, and then go out to kill your own brother after serving years under Orochimaru’s teachings.

Even as he said that to himself, the odd fear would not leave him.
