Chapter Text
[ PROLOGUE ]
‘Uchiha Sasuke’ born in one of the strongest clans whose power came by hate. He was born with the curse of the Uchiha ‘To forever hate’.
He was eight when they had died, ‘The Uchihas’. That day he saw the cruelty of the world. He was brutally exposed to Reality. In a way no one would wish.
There were bodies everywhere. Blood splattered. His parents laying on the floor, breathless covered in blood. His brother standing with a blood covered katana in his hand, walking away from the scene with quite steps. He reached out to him, only to have his heart shattered even more.
"Foolish little brother... If you wish to kill me, curse me! Hate me! And survive your miserable life... Run away, run away... Cling to life."
Sasuke was twelve year old when he graduated from the academy as one of the top students of the year. It was no surprise to anyone, he had always been good at academy, getting good grades in both physical and mental activities.
He was also twelve year old when he met his team, ‘Team 7’. Hatake kakashi as his jonin instructor, along with two other teammates, Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto. Soon self-proclaiming themselves as Sasuke’s family.
Hatake Kakashi
A jonin in his early thirties with silver hair and black eyes, one covered by his headband’s cloth and a mask covering most of his face. Extremely lazy, always carrying an adult book which he claimed to be a good distraction [like having to take care of three under trained genins was not enough of a distraction]. But at the same time very skilled at the battle field with a sharighan which was supposed to be a gift from a friend.
Haruno Sakura
A girl with ‘pink’ hair and emerald green eyes. She shared the same class as Sasuke and was on of a few students who managed to beat Sasuke in the written exams. It was clear being book smart was her specialty. She could learn anything in a short amount of time without any difficulty. She was as clever as a fox.
Uzumaki Naruto
A boy with spiky blonde hair and light blue eyes. Whiskers on both of his cheeks. Brain smaller than size of a pea. Filled with energy. Too much energy. This boy just happens to be the sole rival of Sasuke Uchiha. Their rivalry would come in between everything from finishing their food the fastest to finishing there mission the fastest.
<><><>
At the age of twelve, Uchiha Sasuke walked towards the gates of Konoha. He needed power to complete his goal. To make his dream a reality.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and kill a certain someone."
He swore to get power by any means possible. He did not are who he hurt. He did not care what he had to do or who had to choose. He was drawn towards power like a moth drawn to flame. After all, power was all that matter in the shinobi world.
He left Konoha, his ‘home’, to join forces with the rouge sanin who was currently being hunted by all five nations. But the poor boy was fallen too deep in the greed of power that he was willing to give his body away to someone who saw him as a prize more than human.
He met his teammates along the way. His female teammate trying to stop him before he reached the gates. Such great bonds were formed between them that she knew he was going to leave before anyone else. Unfortunately, to him bonds were something that made a person weak. An obstacle in his goal.
The blonde tried to. He went to such length that he was willing giving his life away. His sensei tried to talk him out too but he was too deep in the water to be saved, or he thought so.
<><><>
At the age of sixteen, Uchiha Sasuke had succeeded to kill the former snake sanin after gaining as much power as he could. Now he held no use for the youngest heir to the Uchiha. He made his way to find out about Itachi. But to that he formed his own team, Team Hebi
Hozuki Suigetsu
A guy with a blue-White gradient hair and fish like teeth. Able to turn into water and merge with water was what attracted Sasuke towards him. His reason to join was to gather the great swords of he mist but it was visible he was in it for the thrill too.
Uzumaki Karin
A girl with red hair and read eyes. First met Sasuke when he saved her from a wild animal back in the chunin exams only to fall hopelessly in love with him. She was a sensory type, able to sense any type of chakra no matter how small or how large.
Jugo
A guy with orange hair and broad shoulders and huge physic. A victim of orochimaru’s curse mark. Highly dependent on Sasuke when he loses control. Being a turned into beast when the curse mark activated, turning him into a killing machine.

“To Kill Itachi Uchiha”
This was their ultimate goal – Team Hebi
“To bring Sasuke back home”
This was their ultimate goal- Team 7
[ CHAPTER NO. 1 ]
“Sasuke-kun”, a girl with red hair and red eyes, Karin called out as she fastened her speed to catch up with the said leader with black hair and onyx orbs, Sasuke. His eyes followed her figure as she suddenly stopped in front of him and turned around, her cheeks flushed.
“There’s a strong chakra nearby, I can sense it” she claimed as the blush on her cheeks darkened, now more visible.
Upon hearing those words his mind only went to one person. The only person he could think of at that moment. Itachi. With that thought he stopped besides the red head, who nervously pushed her glasses above the bridge of her nose.
It was clear as day and night that she had took liking to his presence forming a one sided bond with him. Everyone who knew of this fact knew she dreamt about growing old with him. But Sasuke thanked God she wasn’t there when his idiotic twelve year old self claimed to restore his dead clan.
“Lead the way” he ordered in his usual cold tone.
A chuckle could be heard in the background. Sasuke tilted his head to see Suigetsu chuckling as he looked towards the red head who was now red from top to bottom in fury. “He doesn’t want you, get a hint” he said as he continued to laugh only to later receive a punch from her. It was his ability to turn into water that saved him till now and Sasuke was sure this capability only further allowed him to tease her more given that her attempts to hurt him were useless.
After the both teammates were done arguing, Karin scoffed and started leading the team to the said location. Jumping from one tree to another. They soon ended up in a clear field in the middle of the forest. Sasuke now too could feel a powerful chakra. He glare at the female member of the team “Where is the ‘Exact’ location of this chakra”. Threat was visible in his voice. It was not the first time she had heard him like this but she couldn’t help but gulp at his words. Before she could defend herself, Jugo, the fourth member of the team interrupted her as he flew away the bird that had recently landed on his finger, “Two kilometers to the north”.
Once Sasuke heard the guided direction, he didn’t waste a second, “Don’t follow me” with that said he disappeared from his current location.
Even though, their team had only been formed recently, they felt attached to each other. Everyone except him. And seeing him walking into a death trap didn’t help either. They sparred each other a glance, worry was evident on their faces. Without wasting a second they all agreed on following him, not wanting to lose him in an obvious trap.
He landed from on tree branch to another, stopping when he sensed his teammates approaching. He was already annoyed by the oddness of this situation and now he was much more annoyed when his teammates stopped behind him thinking of him as a fool capable of falling in a death trap.
He rotated his body to face the three living creatures behind him. His sharighan activated. A cold stare was the only thing he could offer them in return of their not needed kindness.
“We are coming with you” Sasuke didn’t have time for this but his teammates were persistent.
“Look man, hate to break it to you but we are not letting you die just yet” Sasuke’s eyes twitched, die, whatever gave them the idea that he was ready to die. He knew this could be a trap, he was not an idiot.
“We won’t meddle in your fight” Jugo further stated. Sasuke was beyond annoyed. With a groan, Sasuke continued to move ahead, moving from one branch to another.
Not receiving any answer from him, the rest of the team shared a glance and continued to follow him, only a few feet behind.
After a few minutes, Sasuke reached the said destination with the rest of his team following a few steps behind him.
The chakra he felt was strong, but it wasn’t Itachi’s. He could feel his chakra. In front of him was a portal emitting chakra familiar to his. He couldn’t blame Karin for the misunderstanding, for a second he too had mistaken it for Itachi’s chakra.
A deep frown formed on his forehead. Right thing to do would be to retreat and look for Itachi but he continued to walk towards the portal. A black hole. He looked towards his teammates before signaling them to wait. He walked towards the portal and passed his hand inside. A tingling feeling passed through his body and soon he felt himself being sucked in. Soon he was fully submerged inside the portal.
When their team leader did not return from the portal, the only thing they could think of was to enter the portal which will hopefully lead them to their now lost teammate.
Once they entered the portal or were sucked in the portal, a white light flashed in front of their eyes which threatened to blind them unless they close their eyes.
Once they opened their eyes their eyes met with sasuke’s back. When he slightly tilted his face. His face has shocked impression on it. There weren’t many emotions that were usually shown on his, shock was a new one.
He-They were standing in side Konoha. It’s been years since he last stepped foot in this hidden village, three to be exact. It looked different but he didn’t care. He was a missing nin. It was dangerous for him to be there. He knew full well if his arrival was to reach a certain blond and a pink head, he will be forced to come home. He didn’t like it but he knew this was his home. But now he had abandoned it. It was no longer his home. Not until, he had avenged his clan.
He was soon brought back to his thoughts when in a distance he heard
-“SHANAROOOO”
