Chapter 145: An Unfortunate Result
"Sakura? What are you doing here?" Sasuke was honestly surprised to see her here already. He was sure he had knocked her out properly last night.
"It's obvious that she ca for you, isn't it?" Naruto said.
Sakura looked at Sasuke and gasped when she noticed the marks on his body. "You're using that seal… why? Kakashi Sensei said it was extrely harmful to you."
"You can't tell what to do. Neither can Kakashi. I no longer belong to Konoha!. " Sasuke clenched his fists. "I'd be a fool to reject this power... no matter where it ca from."
"Co on, Sasuke. Just co back to the village with us. We can fix this," Sakura said, trying to sound hopeful.
"Back to village? And why would I do that? Orochimaru will give what everyone there denied !." Sasuke shouted.
"Sasuke, please! I'm sure the Hokage will forgive you for leaving. I'll go with you, and we can talk to Lady Tsunade together. She'll understand...we'll make her understand that this was just a mistake. And then… we can go back to being a team, like before… rember? Team Se—"
"SHUT UP ALREADY!" Sasuke scread at the top of his lungs, a baleful purple chakra beginning to surround him. "That's only what YOU want… you selfish bitch."
"S-Sasuke?..." Sakura took several steps back, her fear of him now evident. "I just… I just want to make you happy…" she said softly. Tears began to fall from her eyes.
"Happy?, don't make laugh. The only thing I want…" Sasuke's body began to change. "...is power." He activated the second level of the cursed seal.
"W-What is happening to him?!" Sakura beca startled.
"It's the cursed seal. There's another level that can be activated. It has the side effect of transforming the body," Naruto recalled, thinking of Sakon and Ukon, who had looked like demons after changing. Though this one looked very different.
Sasuke's skin beca dark brown, his hair turned blue, and two large, flesh-like protrusions appeared on his back, giving him a very inhuman look.
"This is it!" Sasuke exclaid, ecstatic with the sudden increase in his chakra. His muscles tensed up and he felt invincible at this mont.
His eyes moved to Naruto. "Is this how you felt when you used that demon fox chakra? Now I understand…this is so incredible!."
"Sasuke, please stop this!" Sakura begged him. She had the feeling that if he used that cursed power, there would be no turning back.
She was about to move closer when she was stopped by her other teammate.
"It's best if you stand behind ." Naruto said while moving her aside.
It was then that Sakura noticed he was only using one arm. "Wait, you are hurt!. You can't fight like this."
"It's fine. I can handle him. Even if he's beco stronger and faster, his skills haven't changed," Naruto said.
He had said this to Sakura, but Sasuke also heard it. "Even now… you still look down on , Naruto?!"
Sasuke opened his right hand, gathering lightning chakra that crackled with large sparks. "This ti, you'll have to take seriously… or you'll die."
Naruto lifted his left hand, his chakra beginning to rotate and forming the Rasengan.
"No…" Sakura watched with dread in her eyes. No matter the outco of their encounter, the consequences would be irreversible.
Seeing this, Sasuke smiled. "That's more like it!" Finally, he was going to get what he wanted.
He lowered his posture and finished forming the Chidori.
Not wanting to waste another second, Sasuke unleashed his explosive speed and rushed directly at Naruto.
He brought his right hand forward, aiming for Naruto's chest. At this speed, he couldn't react or change direction, so he had to make sure he aid correctly.
Naruto prepared to stop the attack by using his own jutsu. He wasn't sure what the result of the clash would be, so he added so layers of protection, just in case.
Once he stopped the Chidori, Sasuke would be left open, and he could go for the finishing blow.
Everything happened in an instant.
Sasuke moved...Naruto moved. The gap between them closed to almost zero.
But at the last mont, sothing got between them.
Sasuke felt his arm penetrate flesh and bone and was elated.
'I won!' he thought.
This mont of pure bliss didn't last long when his view was obscured by a lock of pink hair.
"What?!" It took a mont for his mind to process what his eyes were seeing.
"Foolish girl…" Naruto's Rasengan had stopped re inches from Sakura's back. He had enough control to stop himself, but his opponent could not.
Sasuke didn't notice that Sakura had jumped between them until it was over.
As he looked at his own right hand, he saw it was completely buried in Sakura's chest.
Blood was running down his arm and dripping from above.
"Sakura?!... What did… what did you do?!" Sasuke scread. Why was she there?
Her eyes were still open, looking directly at Sasuke, while blood continued to spill from her mouth.
She tried to speak, but words did not co out...instead, she could only make guttural noises.
"Sakura…" Sasuke's eyes showed only shock.
She made more noises, trying to say sothing to him. When she realized it was impossible, she lifted her hand with difficulty and placed it on his cheek.
Sasuke's transformation ended. He couldn't maintain it with his mind in complete turmoil.
He looked down again at his bloody arm. "No…this is not what I..." He pushed himself off her.
As soon as he removed his arm, Sakura collapsed to the ground.
Her body twitched a few more tis, then went still.
Naruto allowed the Rasengan to fizzle out as he watched the scene.
The fight was over.
Sasuke just stood there, staring at what he had done without saying a word.
