The two of them activated Susano. Sasuke's got his arrow ready to shoot Kabuto while Itachi threw disks at the ceiling around Kabuto. The arrows hit the Kabuto's snake tail. He started to fall to the ground; Sasuke tried to hit him with his sword.

"He wants to steal my sword to cut his snake tail and run away." Sasuke said.

Itachi advanced towards Kabuto but then was pierced by the sword.

"I told you...not to fret..." Kabuto said.

Kabuto's tail got free while Itachi's dispersed into crows confusing Kabuto. While Kabuto was confused Itachi went to strike but only got his horns. Good....that made him a tiny bit less ugly.

"...I see....I forgot...I usually don't have horns here, after all..."

Sasuke and I stood beside Itachi. I didn't dare make eye contact with either of them. It's not the time for a reunion.

"I'm sure now you would be able to stop that wild boar." Itachi said to Sasuke.

"Before worrying about wild boars we should think about that snake there."

"Yeah........Mariah..."

"Yes?"

"Are you sure you can fight?" Itachi asked.

"Of course....I may not look it right now but I still have a lot of power."

"But your chakra level is so low."

"Yeah my chakra level but I still have something up my sleeve."

"You're never unprepared are you?"

"Nope, I've had this all planned since you died. This war will be over in no time."

"Confident as always."

"Yup."

I could feel eyes on me. Looked over I met Sasuke's dark onyx eyes.

"How funny." Kabuto laughed making all eyes on him. "Looking at you now you seem to go along pretty well. Even though you used to hate your brother so much...I can understand that something might have happened when you defeated Itachi....But I don't see what you might want to know from a dead person."

Sasuke's gaze went to Itachi.

".....The truth.." Sasuke answered.

"Didn't Madara already tell him the truth?" I wondered.

"Uh? Could it be that...ah..um..the way you said it...it sounds like you're suspicious of Itachi. Sasuke-kun...does that mean that you know the truth about him already? Now I see why after defeating him you didn't go back to the leaf...but on the other end entered Akatsuki to target the village! I see......now I understand many things about your behavior. So basically...you want to destroy the leaf because it made your brother suffer?"

Itachi and I both looked at Sasuke.

"You're not denying it...Anyway, you followed your brother this far because you want to hear the truth from him...you want to ask him the details about the whole story. I said it earlier, but yeah.....your brother is a liar....I know.... That's why....it's weird...Itachi went so far as to kill his own comrades to protect the leaf. Don't' you think what you're trying to do would be against his will? Actually, I'm the one that has a goal much like yours, Sasuke-kun! And I'm also the one who will continue what Orochimaru-sama had started, the crush of the leaf."

"Uh he talks too much," I complained.

"Think carefully....If you want to stab Itachi and Mariah in the back and come to my side you should do it now. Come on...you shouldn't feel guilty about it. He's dead after all, just a wooden doll. With Mariah....she's with the Leaf... You'd be going against her anyway so why not now and get her out of the way. Mariah..why do you still side with the leaf anyway? I heard what they did to you and your clan.
