The Red Flames

Chapter 21

I don't own Naruto, the images or the music!

Hotaru P.O.V

I woke up after some time and notice that Sasuke was already awake.

- Come here, let me take those ligatures off of you. – I said.

He came towards me and I took them off.

- Better? – I asked.

- Much better...thanks. – he said.

- So...what now? – I asked him.

- We'll leave for the battle field. – he answered.

I sighed.

- Fine, let's go then. – I said.

We left and we were now walking in the forest.

- Kurama...something is off.

- Yeah...something's not right.

I was thinking when Sasuke suddenly stopped and I looked forward and widened my eyes.

- Sasuke?! Hotaru?! – Deidara said surprised.

- It's you guys. – Sasuke said to White Zetsu and Deidara.

- Bastards! Why are you alive?! – Deidara said.

I zoned out.

- Kurama...how is this possible? How is he alive?!

- Edo Tensei.

- What?! How?! Who?! Orochimaru was the only one that knew how!

- Kabuto.

- I knew I should have killed him when I had the chance! Wait...that means...what we sensed earlier...

- It's true.

- I'm leaving. – I said to Sasuke.

- To where? – he asked.

- I'll catch up with you when I can, I have to confirm something first. – I said.

I immediately sped into the forest, climbed a tree and started concentrating.

- Kurama, help me find him.

- Hai.

We started sensing.

...........................................................................................................................

- Found him! – me and Kurama said in unison.

I teleported near where he was and stayed hidden.

- Kid be careful, he's under control.

- Yeah...I know. Let's do this...and if we're fighting him we will need that.

- Go kid!

I teleported behind him and was now about to hit him with a kick but he defended himself.

- As expected from my student. – Itachi said.

I was now looking him in the eyes.
