Sasuke hummed, cutting off some leftover skin on the skull. He managed to keep the hair on still, somehow. The skull belonged to Minato Namikaze, which was know in the Uchiha's hands.

He set the skull on the chair. The blood wasn't causing an stench because he had stiffened up the place. Sasuke hid the Hokage's corpse well, in fact he buried it, exactly where Nagato's corpse had been. He held the skull out, seeing how well he did a good job on his art.

The skull had everything a regular skull should have, except like said previously, the blonde hair of the Namikaze was somehow managed to be kept on and the shinobi forehead protector was tightly wrapped around the skull's forehead, just to bring out the effect.

The festival was nearly 5 days away and he was so close to achieving his goal.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Itachi... I've done a pretty good job for carving a skull don't you think?", Sasuke says, ignoring the crimson blood that dyed his palms.

He then instantly thought of Kushina and sighed.

"It's a shame I have to kill her, Itachi. Kushina really is a nice woman, who's one of the main people who never wronged me. I can't take it to have her blood on my hands... I'll guess I'll have to kill her painlessly", he sighed. "At least she'll die a painless death"

Naruto was sound asleep back at Sasuke's house, but Sasuke himself was at a abandoned hideout deep underground, causing it to be sound proof.

"Minato I will keep my promise for you. I'll let you see your beloved soon, along with Menma", he smirked, heading out for his next kill.
