My Snippets: Part 2

Kidnapped by his Reincarnation

When the enemy comes knocking, who will be the victor?

A Boruto era inspired sasusaku snippet. More of an au bc I doubt this would ever happen; but it's set in Boruto time. It is pretty short & ends on a cliffhanger & not a lot of context behind it either, sorry. (Basically the village is attacked by Indra and he kidnaps Sakura.)

Blood dripped soundlessly from his split lip; his penetrating gaze threatening as he glared up at the man hovering over him. The enemy spared him little more than a quick glance before his attention shifted to the woman lying prone at his right. He then made his way leisurely towards her, her look just as threatening as her husband's before reaching down to grab her by the ankles. She began to panic... squirming in his grasp.

Sasuke felt useless as he watched his wife being dragged away by his powerful, ancestral doppelganger... unable to properly move with the long spiky barbs deeply embedded in each of his broken limbs; rendering him immobile.

That didn't mean he didn't try. By gods did he try to reach her with every ounce of energy he had left, but to no avail. The frantic hopelessness in her expression as she stared at him with wide, fearful eyes broke him, sending him into a spiraling pit of despair and hopelessness.

Sasuke's never seen his wife so fearful in all the years that he'd known her; it tore at his heart, which was palpating at increasing speeds. Her fingernails dug deep into the earth as she kicked back in their struggle... but both Sakura and himself had suffered a significant amount of damage (cuts and blood loss) and her world-renowned strength seemed to have been sapped completely from her body. She was weakened, and she was struggling.

The man, who'd introduced himself only as Indra, scowled at her continued resistance before growling in anger when one of her kicks managed to hit its mark. He bent over and hoisted her over his shoulders by the waist. She continued to kick, punch and scream, but it was a pointless endeavor as Indra seemed to be a massively unmovable brick wall... unyielding to her weakened attempts at escape.

His left eye flashed briefly, opening a portal-like gateway to another space and Sasuke's struggles renewed. "Sasuke," his wife screamed mere seconds before being sucked into it and away from him and their village. Sasuke felt his own scream of desperation bubble up from his lungs when the last thing he witnessed was the fear in her eyes before she disappeared from his sight completely; kidnapped by their enemy.

"SAKURA!"
