Disclaimer : I don't own naruto only Eve.

Sasuke POV:

If I were a mere ninja, with no experience in stifling my emotions, I would be staring wide eyes, mouth hanging down and my face contorted with shock and disbelief- like my ex-teammates over there.

The first time I sensed a presence in the hideout after my mission amd waiting for kabuto to finish, I knew that this opponent is not a person that should be trifled with.

Maybe it was the eminence chakra he possessed- despite him trying to hide it - or maybe because the black attire of his that promised death.

The moment I turned around and locked gaze with him, I was sucked into a lake of frozen emotions.

I was intrigued.

It was like all the myriad shades of blue swirled together to form a whirlpool of apprehension-- those flickering azure orbs were glowing in darkness with unspoken fury despite the dimly lighted room.

His eyes were the cool blue of a shark as he watched me across the empty room; eyes that hypnotize, strike fear into your heart and numb your mind.

Eyes that make time stops, keeping you frozen in eternal bliss-- unaware of the predator in front of you until you drop dead.

The black beast.

It was the first time I encounter him. Of course, I've heard about his dark reputation and the power he possessed; but I've never met him in person before, and today meeting him face-to-face sparked a thirst in me begging to be quenched.

Imagine how much power I will acquire once I beat him?

If I could defeat an opponent like him, I would be able to kill Itachi easily?

He stood as silent as a tiger waiting for the right time to pounce on its prey.

His black attire blended with the blackness of the room, undetectable- the part of the room that the light was unable to penetrate- only blue eyes shone; eyes of a cold-blooded killer.

As we engaged in battle, I felt omnipotent.

The feeling of dominance surged through my body like a raging fire, driving me to wring his neck and kill him.

I felt the thirst for shedding blood arise, and it is a desire I am always happy to gratify.

With every move, every strike, every hit, I felt those blue eyes darken with emotions.

The techniques he used to exterminate me was laughable, not because it was weak, on the contrary, it was extremely strong, yet the thought of someone wanting me dead so fast is what makes it funny.

It's been so long since I met an opponent who wanted to end my life so fast. True, I have a bounty on my head; but all of the other hunters were either trembling in fear or lacking the strength to gain my attention.

But the black beast attacked with precise aim, with fathomless determination, of never-ending stamina, not caring if his limbs ached or his muscles turned numb, he wants me dead no matter what.

Which is actually not surprising, after all, I'm a rogue, a killer, everyone wants me dead.

Who would want a guy like me to remain alive?

I'm a threat to people's life, to their peace of mind.

Nothing is scarier than a man fueled by vengeance, ripped of emotions especially fear.

The only emotion that can evoke a response- good or bad- it is the emotion that defines us.

The emotion that holds you back, the rein that makes you stop.

Without fear, there is no remorse, no devastation, no taste of the aftermath whether it is good or bad- only marching forward; like a doll with the purpose of killing, it will keep striking not caring for the harm inflicted upon itself or others, it turns into a weapon of destruction.

So, I'm not shocked that the black beast is the one after me. However, what shocked me is that the black beast is actually a young girl.

It's not uncommon to see girls and women wearing ninja attires and fighting, spilling blood or hunting preys.

But it is uncommon to see a girl with electric blue eyes like a cold midwinter breeze, not even the blazing sun can warm the frozen irises that felt like ice and glass. Sharp enough to scar.

Her stance is in unnatural stiffness, of buried secrets and burdened knowledge. It is full of hatred and promising pain, her fists are clenched so tight I'm sure the circulation would have stopped by now.

Her lean and feminine figure that the darkness tried to hide from the prying eyes, is now visible in daylight.

My only reaction was to smirk, I couldn't help it, which of course got her even more annoyed.

It reminded me of a delicate kitten with sharp razor teeth. A shy, delicate exterior, but with hidden strength- not visible unless provoked.

"Eve, W-what are you doing, " naruto stuttered, shock itched on his face, "what are you wearing?"

Eve, how foreign, yet the name suits her.

With those electric blue eyes, clear snow-white skin and pink hair; the color of Sakura petals.

She stood up, tall and commanding, her gaze is still locked with mine in a silent promise.

I averted my eyes to look at the damage I caused. Her black attire is drenched in her own blood.

The red sticky-metallic substances that were flowing like a steady river has now stopped.

Shouldn't she be dead by now?

I'm sure the blow was fatal?

How can she still stand up, with no hint of fear or vulnerability?

I looked back at her, my brows furrowed in confusion.

She smirked at my confused state of mind, taking pleasure in tormenting me.

That little chit.

"Naruto back off, I have unfinished business that I need to attend to, shall we continue Sasuke," she said, smirking while she tilted her head to the right, her eyes gleaming dangerously.

"But Eve, you are hurt, we need to take--, " naruto said, but was cut off.

"No, I'm perfectly fine. This is a mere scratch," Eve said.

"What is the meaning of this? "A man with a jonin vest exclaimed, his expression showed nothing, but his eyes held fear and apprehension.

Hmm, poor Kakashi was he replaced that fast?

"What? He is an enemy, THE enemy and I'm doing the honor of killing him or have you forgotten already Yamato," Eve said calmly.

"We have direct orders to bring him to the leaf. Are you disobeying my orders-- the Hokage orders." he said sternly.

"Go fūck yourself and take the hokage along with you!" She snorted, angry at his words.

"Eve!" The brown haired man hollered, irritation oozing out of him in waves.

"Oh please, he became a rogue since what, two-three years. He followed the lead of the most horrendous killers and became one of his minions. Now you are telling me that I can't kill such a person?" Eve said vehemently.

"Eve we have direct ord- "

"Fuck you and your stupid orders! I don't care, he's one of the most wanted rogues! He committed crimes more than I can count and you are telling me to just drag him back to the leaf? He wanted to leave in the first place, he chose this path and he shall be punished.

Is it because he's from the leaf you are going easy on him? " She replied annoyed.

"You can't harm Sasuke-Kun, " said Sakura shouted angrily, interjecting Yamato's words.

"Sasuke..." naruto uttered bringing my gaze toward him. He was silent, serious, assessing, so unlike him.

"Oh, but I'm going to do much, much worse than that." Eve smiled sadistically as she turned to look at me.

"Still, the same I see; ignorant and pitiful. I'm not coming back so you better leave or else, " I said calmly, gazing at my ex-teammate answering the unasked question burning in naruto's eyes.

What brings them here, are they stupid?

They think by doing this they can drag me back to that stupid place where I'll always be weak and looked down on.

Over my dead body, I've chosen this path, the path of revenge and I'm not backing down now.

My hard determined gaze collided with Naruto, the hurt expression on his face didn't deter me. It didn't affect me in the least, which proves that there is no bond between us, never was and never will be.

Suddenly, I felt the air shift. The sunny day turned grim and cloudy. Darkness coated the place like a blanket, ready to devour every ounce of light.

Eerie silence commenced, not a single sound could be heard. The trees took a terrifying form-- twisting and bending in different shapes.

"Weak, you will never be able to defeat me!"

A deep, yet strong voice came out of nowhere, mocking my fear and reminding me that I'm still not good enough, that I need to attain more power.

Itachi!

He terminated my life, my family and now he's haunting my thoughts.

Leave me alone, I screamed at no one in particular.

I know that Itachi is not present here at the moment, but I can't help it.

The moment my thoughts drift to him or something reminds me of him, my demons takes control by twisting reality into hallucinations.

The beast in me keeps tugging on its chains, thrashing and hitting demanding to be let out.

However, I'm saving him for the best kill yet, for Itachi.

"Why scowling, Sasuke. You look like an idiot. WIPE IT OUT! " I felt a hiss beside me and I immediately know who it is.

"What brings you here?" I tilted my head to the right to look at the snake beside me.

"My-my Sasuke from your tone I get it that I'm not welcomed here, eh," his lips split in a disgusting smirked.

He didn't wait for my reply and continued, "now what do we have here, oh, leaf ninjas, hmmm. What, came back for your dear Sasuke? but you know he's n- oh who is that?" he smiled, hungrily while he raked his eyes up and down the black- I mean Eve.

"The black beast is actually a mere girl, haha. Can you believe it Kabuto, the bounty ninja is actually a wee girl? " orochimaru said, his tone contained curiosity and hunger.

Eve looked ready to rebuff his words but swallowed them when her eyes met otochimaru's snake like.

Smart girl.

"Yes, master. According to my information, the black beast made his appearance not long ago, maybe six months or so. They say he possesses power that can make the mountain's crumble and ocean split in half. His identity and gender are unknown until now I guess-- he was named the black beast because he is known to never show mercy to his victims, he goes directly for the kill. This has given him a reputation of a Sanin. Everyone wants to gain his powers and control it, others believe he is simply a myth."

Kabuto finally looked up from his energy cards- the one he was reading from. He stores the information and hides it using chakra- and pushed his spectacles with his fingers while he locked eyes with a grim looking Eve.

Kabuto might seem benign, but he should not be underestimated. His scrawny figure doesn't stir fear, but his eyes hold so much wickedness, and his thoughts are pure evil.

"Wow, they say all that!" Eve looked at kabuto in a disbelieving look. "Fuck my life, I'm famous!" She snickered, but you could see the pain itched in her mocking features.

"I'm flattered that you know so much about me Kabuto, but I need to continue my fight now so if you excuse me, gentlemen," she said, her eyes boring into mine.

"Eve, stop this none sense now or I'll have to make you; if you do not obey- " Yamato said firmly to Eve, his eyes burning with irritation.

"I will do as I please, back off if you don't want to get hurt," Eve snapped, glaring daggers at him.

"Is what they say true? Why didnt you tell us? " Naruto said heart broken at sight before him.

"Naruto, my identity is supposed to be a secret. I'm not going to go everywhere and parade that I'm the black beast, there are people who want to kill me, you know," Eve rolled her eyes at Naruto stupidness, but her eyes soften when she spoke to him and she turned her face the other side as she addressed him.

It's like she is a different person or maybe she doesn't like showing her soft side to anyone.

I turned to leave and get out of this place, I don't have to bear this nonsense.

Three needles passed by my head in a blink of an eye, an indicator of a threat.

"Going so soon, Sasuke. I believe we have unfinished business, " she said.

I turned slightly towards her, no words uttered, but the clashing of our gazes remained focused on one another in a silent challenge.

"Tsk, I don't have time to waste on you...pathetic little girl, " I scowled, anger evident in my tone.

"Oh, I'll show you who is  pathetic asshole, " she sneered.

"Let's go Kabuto we have things to do. Let those two sweethearts play. Oh, and sasuke try not to maim her a lot, she looks promising for my collection!" Orochimaru smirked.

And with a puff of smoke. He and the four eyes disappeared.

I snorted and turned to leave after them.

But something stopped me in my place.

A gleam of red caused me to stand rigid and stiff.

"I believe I changed your mind, huh," she smirked as she gazed at me with loathing.
