Naruto 228

Title: Kakashi's presentiment.

Kakashi: What?!//So you've sent only rookies after Sasuke?
Tsunade: It's not like I had a choice./With the village's state of affairs being what it is.
Kakashi: Haaa... *drop*
Tsunade: I sent the people we could afford to spare the most. (tn: I will gladly welcome a better translation to それに必要最低限は打ってある. What I wrote here is a totally random guess at a sentence I was unable to understand.)
Kakashi: ........
*slip*

Tsunade: Here you are! *flock* Your new assignment is already decided.
*swip*
Kakashi: Oh, well... I'll be back as soon as I'm done... Don't worry.
Tsunade: ........ *Swish*
*slam*
Tsunade: ... Oh, please.
Kakashi: Kuchiyose no jutsu!! (tn: Summoning technique).

*POOF*
Kakashi: First, I'll ask you to disperse and search everywhere for Naruto and Sasuke's scents./Once you've found them, please call out. I'll run your way immediately.
Ninken: Bark! Bark!
Kakashi: Alright!/Dispersion!!
*ZIP* *ZIP* *ZIP*

Kakashi: ......
[Flashback]Sasuke: And what would you know?!!/Don't come at me talking like you know it all![Flashback]
Kakashi: (I was naive./When I think about it... I really wouldn't be surprised if they killed each other...
Ninken: HOOOOOWWWL!
Kakashi: Good!

Kakashi: (Please let me make it in time!)*dash*
Naruto: Probably... I was the only one who believed we were friends, after all...//If that's true... Then how...//how big a moron does that make me.../ eh, Sasuke?

Naruto: (But I can't help it can I?)

Naruto: I have no idea why, but...
[Flashback]Naruto: !
Sasuke: .......
*step*step*[Flashback]
Naruto: (I can't let it happen//I can't let Orochimaru get his hands on you, fer cryin' out loud...)

*ZZZZZZ* *tremble* *tremble*
Sasuke: You used your left hand at the last second to prevent me from aiming at your heart.... *ZZZZZZ*
Sasuke: But that was useless, it was.//I've ruined your right shoulder and lung.
*squish* *grind* *flap*

*SQUISH*
*tremble* *tremble* *tremble*
Sasuke: Now you can't use your right arm, and more importantly, you're unable to breathe properly./And you can't perform seals or that jutsu you used earlier.

Sasuke: ........
[Flashback]Itachi: Like me, you have the potential to awaken to Mangekyou Sharingan./There's a condition for that, though.[Flashback]
*CLASP*
[Flashback]Itachi: You must kill your closest friend.[Flashback]
Sasuke: Now the coup de grâce.
*CRACK*

*CRUNCH*
Sasuke: Argh!!
*Plash* *flack* *flack* *flack*
Sasuke: *gasp*
*FSSHH*
Sasuke: (Wha... What's this?! /Where did he get such power...?!
*twitch*

*FSHHHH*
[Flashback]*step* *step*
*peek*[Flashback]

*GOGOGOGOGO*
*ZOM*

Sasuke: ?!!/(What... What is this?!)
*CHRRRR*
*SSSHHUUUU*
*uuu...*

Sasuke: (What?!!/Nonsense! His wounded shoulder is healing almost instantly...)
*WWOOOOOOOO*
Naruto: Sasuke! I ain't letting Orochimaru have you./I'll stop you even if I have to break all of your limbs!!
*SLAP*
