“Chidori Nagashi”, Sasuke said, calmly.
Chero braced herself, Sasuke ran straight for her. He swung his sword right at her neck, but Chero moved, narrowly avoiding his attack. Sasuke came in for another attack, swinging his sword at her’s left arm. This time she was unable to fully dodge his attack and her arm was cut; she grabbed it with her hand, the whole thing slowly going numb.
She did a single hand sign before her arm went numb. She leaped at him reaching out to grab him, but only managed to scratch him with her painted nails.
Sasuke gave a triumphant smile and then went for Chero’s legs. Chero jumped to avoid the first attack, but Sasuke’s speed allowed him to strike both legs before she could hit the ground. Once her feet touched, Chero fell down, she was now unable to avoid Sasuke’s attacks.
“I can’t move ” her mind screamed.
Sasuke walked up to her, he stood in front of her, his shadow towered over her.
“Before I kill you I have a question. Why? Why are you after me? Why do you hate me?”
With her right hand, which was not numb, she clutched her locket. Tears welling up in her eyes.
“You mean you don’t remember? I told you my last name.... I thought you might have realize....”
“Realized what?”
“That you killed the only person I cared about.”
“What? Your boyfriend?”
She looked up at him straight into his eyes, tears escaping.
“My brother. Don Aoyama.”
Sasuke’s eyes widened in recognition.
“Four years ago you killed him. He was sent on a mission to retrieve a scroll your village stole from one of our clients. You fought him and killed him Why? Why did you kill him? ”
“You’re only a child. You wouldn’t understand.”
“I’m 15 That’s only a year younger than my brother was when you took his life away. Don was a kind person who would never hurt anyone unless it was to protect someone he cared about.”
If she kept talking like this she would pass time and her arms and legs would return to normal.
“That’s in the past. All that matters now is what you’ve done. You killed many people in my village and attacked my son.”
“Now I will show you what happens to those who try to hurt my family and my village”, Sasuke said, his voice filled with spite.
Sasuke lifted his sword above his head. Yes She was ready She quickly did a another hand sign. She prayed that this would work.
Chero shut her eyes, Sasuke swung down. She snapped her eyes open quickly. Spirals spun around in them; Sasuke sword hit her, slicing her in two, but when he saw the body he noticed that it was missing all it’s vital organs.
Turning to his left Sasuke saw Chero, her body was the same, but her chakra had changed, it now had a fire nature to it.
Sasuke looked closer at her, he saw much to his surprise that her eyes were sprials.
“It can’t be. Reniegan?” Sasuke said in shock.
“I see that you have seen the Reniegan before Uchiha.” Chero said, amused.
Sasuke gritted his teeth.
She rushed Sasuke. He was caught off guard by Chero’s new speed or was it simply that Sasuke was slowing down. He didn’t know, but Chero did.
She smiled. Her jutsu was working perfectly. This was good since it was the first time she had ever used this.
“Ha-ha what’s the matter Uchiha, Sharingan can’t keep up?” she taunted.
Chero rushed in for an attack, Sasuke barley saw it in time to avoid.
“Hmm not bad Uchiha.” Chero said, confidently.
“Thanks you were pretty good yourself.” said Sasuke.
“Were?” Chero asked confused giving him a startled look.
He smiled. Chero quickly turned. She gasped as a demon wind shuriken flew towards her, circling around her.
“Demon wind shuriken the windmill of shadow, shadow sneak jutsu,” Sasuke said, smiling.
Chero gritted her teeth waiting as Sasuke made the hand signs for Chidori.
“Not enough chakra, looks like I have no choice,” he said cursing under his breath as the curse mark went to stage two.
Sasuke’s hair became gray, his eyes black, and he grew hand shaped wings.
“So that’s stage two,” Chero said quietly in awe.
She had NEVER expected to see Sasuke get to this stage.
Sasuke shoved his hand down and moved it to the side, a black Chidori formed in his hand.
“Now die ” Sasuke screamed charging at Chero, bringing his hand back to attack.
Chero shut her eyes, then re-opened them, her eyes were completely black as
she released the genjutsu she placed on him a while back.
Sasuke was now in range, he lunged his hand forward. Blood flew into the air.
Chero unharmed, but Sasuke was the unlucky one.
“Transportation jutsu....” Sasuke said, coughing up blood.
Chero was silent.
“I should have known that the sister of Don Aoyama would know that jutsu.” Sasuke said, blood pouring from his mouth.
“You’re right. Now you remember. That was Don’s favorite jutsu...” she whispered.
Sasuke gave a big cough and blood spilled onto Chero’s hand.
Chero was silent.
“Risha my son…forgive me…I couldn’t protect you…in the end…just like…Itachi couldn’t protect me.” Sasuke said and then paused, “Risha live on without revenge in your heart, live my son with the pride of Uchiha” Then he shut his eye slowly and gave a small, blood drenched smile.
Chero placed him on the ground. She couldn’t believe it She beat him She beat Sasuke Uchiha Better yet she now had a fool proof was to beat a Uchiha. Too bad there was only one left. She thought thinking about Risha.
She shook her head. She didn’t want to think about the boy.
“Don.....I did it. I defeated Sasuke Uchiha. I completed my promise to you.” she said.
She should be happy, and she was, yet why did she feel so miserable.
Risha kept popping up in her mind.
The boy would be fatherless now all thanks to her.
She turned and left, reviewing in her mind how she had won.
It all turned around with a single scratch, all thanks to her new jutsu.
She relived it in her mind.
She activated the poison in her nails, by sending chakra to them. She lunged and scratched Sasuke.
The poison she created would slowly eat away at him. Slowing him down and clouding his senses. Allowing him to weaken enough for Chero to activate her genjutsu. In her genjutsu she made him relive a jutsu she knew he’d never want to see again. She pretended to use this jutsu to unnerve him.
It had worked. If she hadn’t been able to kill him herself the poison would have killed him anyways.
When she returned to the layer she was praised for a good job.
A few weeks went by, Chero working hard on new poisons. She sat in her room working when she was summoned by the leader once again.
“What’s my mission this time?” she asked.
“You’re mission is the assassination of the Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. You have to kill Naruto Uzumaki.”
She nodded.
Naruto Uzumaki.
She was ready.
The End....For now.
