A/N:
This chapter may be a bit
disturbing. I have therefore added some comments to it at the bottom
of the chapter.

Chapter
6:

„What
was that?“ Suigetsu asked. „A shadow clone?“

„Naruto“,
Sasuke answered. „It's his signature move.“ As if he
needed one, he thought.

„You
know him? A leaf ninja?“

„A
former teammate of mine.“

„A
friend?“

Suigetsu
knew which questions Sasuke did not want to answer.

„Yes“,
he said after some hesitation. „He used to be my friend.“

„And
now?“

Sasuke
swallowed. „I guess he still considers himself my friend, which
is why he keeps going after me. He does not know when to give up.“

„Do
you want him to give up?“

„He
is making things complicated.“

Suigetsu
did not continue the subject any further, as they had to concentrate
on travelling, but he took it up again when they had found themselves
a place for the night and were eating their meal.

„So
that Naruto guy is still considering you a friend and wants you back
again. You know, this does come as a surprise to me. I had thought
that the Leaf were our enemies, just as Akatsuki.“

„Not
in the same way“, Sasuke replied. „I don't hate them as I
hate Itachi. I don't want to kill them, nor do I think that they
intend to kill me. But I'd prefer not to be captured and taken back
to Konoha.“

„Why
would they do that?“

„To
save me from Orochimaru.“

„From
Orochimaru? They are really not up to date, are they?“

„I
have wondered myself. At least they are not looking for me in any of
his lairs. Maybe they have difficulties switching ideas and
understanding that things are now a bit different than three years
ago.“

„They
have been trying to rescue you for three years?“

„Yes.
I was still a child back then.“ For the first time he looked at
his flight from Konoha from the others' point of view. „They
did not want me to go to Orochimaru. They thought that he would take
over my body. Or that I might turn evil.“

„You
must admit that it was a bit risky.“

Sasuke
shrugged. „I knew what I was doing. I was not stupid, not even
as a child, and I was not suicidal. I was not like Kimimaro who would
have been proud to give his body to Orochimaru. I don't live for
another person.“

„Of
course not. You are living for your murdered family.“

„Whatever.
Even when I left Konoha I had some ideas, and during my first months
at Orochimaru's lair I made my plan. I deceived him, bided my time,
struck when he was weakest.“

„Yeah,
we know that part of the story. But what I still don't understand...
I mean, I understand that they wanted to rescue you while you were in
Orochimaru's hands, but now – why do they still want to capture
you and take you back to Konoha? They are your friends after all,
they might support you in your search for Itachi! Then you would not
have had to form a team of complete strangers.“

„They
don't believe in revenge in Konoha.“

He
heard Suigetsu gasp. Karin and Juugo as well held their breath.

„Excuse
me“, Suigetsu said when he could speak again. „What did
you just say?“

„They
don't believe in revenge in Konoha. Kakashi tried to talk me out of
it. He told me that after having had my revenge my life would be
empty again.“

„Guess
he was speaking from experience. Maybe one day you should travel to
Earth country and ask people what they think about the subject of
Kakashi and revenge.“

„You
might as well know that this war had been begun by the Fire Country“,
Karin said. „It was begun in retaliation for the war before,
which had been lost by the Fire Country. But that war as well had
been begun by the Fire Country, as a punishment for something else,
which I don't remember.“

„I
grew up in Earth Country, in a part that was occupied for some time
during that war“, Juugo said. „Not in my village, but in
the one next to it there was an assault by some guerilla fighters on
the quarters of the ninjas from Fire Country. One of the generals got
killed. They could not get the partisans of course, because they were
well hidden in the mountains, but they suspected that they were
supported by the villagers, so all the men of the village were told
to gather in the marketplace where they had to stand in a long line,
and one of the Leaf's officers walked along the line, counted to ten,
and then to ten again, and thus every tenth man was killed in
retribution for that general.“

„So
don't talk again about Konoha not believing in revenge“,
Suigetsu said. „I know, they have high ideals in Fire Country,
thinking that they are better than other people, but so far I have
known just one Leaf Ninja who really believes in these
self-proclaimed ideals and even acts according to them, and that's
you yourself.“

„I
don't have any ideals“, Sasuke said. „I want to kill
Itachi, that 's all.“

A/N:
I made up the stories told by Suigetsu, Karin and Juugo. Most of all
I have no idea what Kakashi did after Obito was killed in the war
against Earth Country.

What
I have not made up: Revenge is part of the moral code (or code
of honor) of Konoha. Even Shikamaru avenges Asuma.

I
don't read horror stories. I get my inspiration from newspapers and
history books, which means that my horror stories are worse than what
you normally get in fiction.
