 @uchjha​ sent : PAIN  from sasuke / src. angst meme collection /  27. My muse gets abducted and yours finds them

 “  so i gotta rely on a guy like you ?  “ he speaks thru rapid & shallow breathes . the mission wasn’t supposed to go this way ( he wasn’t supposed to have to fight them ) a band of rouge mercenaries who were operating within the southern part of hi no kuni, they were quite a collective too, gaining attention by the daimyo himself. their cult like following was rapidly growing as tensions grew within the world post war. especially from the smaller minor nations. their pain was one that ran for years alongside the birth of even the hidden villages. each outbreak of war only served to further disconnect the minor nations from the world with loss of crops, livestock, or whatever favorable source of income. the lack of oversight on the daimyo’s is what allowed individuals such as gato to appear and thrive on the pain of others, while after the war konoha started to focused internally on repairing konoha from the damage of the assault  by nagato & then the war happened with swarms of white zetsu. but the allied forces? they sought to restore unity and balance to those countries torn apart by the wars. as is the tale of the circumstances that brought him here, beaten & outflanked by the enemies who had a lead on a shinobi from konoha was deployed to gather intel.  

  he was taken hostage and restrained for further leverage, “ so tell me sasuke ? why are you here ?  i appreciate the save i really didn’t have much chakra left to take ‘em by surprise but don’t expect me to be grateful yeah ? “ it’s a bitter pill to swallow but he still doesn’t fully trust sasuke not that he’d care either way, it wasn’t always that way? he did respect his strength once? then the retrieval mission happened. everyone nearly died to rescue sasuke, and it meant nothing to him. he knows enough to get by on the surface level of the uchiha, it’s why he hadn’t fully written the other off. he was naruto and sakuras friend and an ally as long as he worked with konoha, “ don’t take it the wrong way but you haven’t really given me a reason to trust you. and don’t bother with saying you don’t care because i already know. this mission comes first. though gathering intel is a moot point. we can take the group back to konoha & gather ourselves. this group is just a cell. and the daimyo wants them all. “

uchjha asked: ‘  someone  has  to  leave  first .  this  is  a  very  old  story .  there  is  no  other  version  of  this  story .  ’

he’s right of course - doesn’t mean she has to like it. it feels too final. she wonders if he goes through this with juugo and suigetsu too or if she’s just a special case like all those years ago when he sought her out for her abilities specifically. a new story cannot begin without an end to the previous one. life , death , rebirth. maybe it’s for the best that he leaves - she leaves - someone leaves. depending too much on someone gets you soft. she knows this lesson better than anything else she’s ever learned. she doesn’t look up from the broken and tattered remains of uzushiogakure to look at him in case her mouth does something stupid like beg him to stay. that she could be worth it if he would just gamble on her. she’s never been a beggin’ type to begin with. 

“ you should leave then, ” she says into the wind. it’s useless , she knows this. he disappeared with the wind about three minutes before but still she hopes that he hears her. she stands there , until the sun sets , hoping that he changes his mind , hoping against all odds , that he chooses to stick with them , her. he doesn’t and that’s alright. she inhales, the sea-sharp taste of the water on the wind and steps forward. a new beginning. a new story. she’s always been better off alone.
