He mourns and regrets.

[Sasuke's POV]

"I`ve lost."

...

...

...

"!!!"

A sense of confusion struck my soul, as if I had just awaken - even though I have always been awake - in an unknown world.

The need for energy or effort was hardly reognizable when controlling the lids of one`s eyes. Yet I found it rather difficult to even move my cascading shields.

My body was bathed with a sense of pain and exhaustion that made me numb. I tried to move - with an effort enough to move a mountain - but I could not move a single muscle.

'What happened to me?' I questioned myself, and as an answer, I remembered the fight I just had.

Right. I just had a fight.

I moved my eyes, my mind was swirling and my body was worn out but my vision was clear. It was so much so that I took in all the little intricate details of the world.

I looked around, taking in the form and shapes of my environment. I felt foreign to my surroundings yet at the same time It  was extremely familiar.

Each time I saw a new thing, I would question myself.

Why is that hill destroyed?

Where am I?

Why is that tree uprooted?

.

And to these questions, the answers would come to me.

.

The hill was destroyed from our battle.

I am at the Valley of the End

The tree must have been uprooted due to the shockwave.

And when I got these - or rather recollect these answers, I would affirm myself 'Yeah, that`s right.'. After that I would feel stupid for asking the questions in the first place.

I spent some time pondering like this, questioning and answering myself. I did so until I skim through all my life, who I was, what I did and why I did it. It was like I was doing a revision of my life.

When I had no more question and when the only thing left was the feeling of something being off, did I stop.

"Are you okay Sasuke?" I heard a voice, it was coarse but that did not hide the concern it held.

I turned to look at the face of a boy. His face was bruised and dried blood could be seen under his chin and nose. His left eye was purple and swollen, blocking his eye. And as if to compensate for it his other eye was bright and mesmerizing blue.

It was the clearest blue eye I had ever seen. It reflects innocence and harbor no malice. I observed those eyes for a while before a name popped in my head.

Naruto.

I did not question anything this time, instead I found it rather strange how easily I accepted it. And he called me Sasuke.

That`s me.

"I`m fine, just tired." I said, closing my eyes. I thought over about my situation again while I rest.

...

...

"You`re not gonna die just after I convinced you, right" He asked , his voice was a little closer this time.

I opened my eyes and saw him pushing up with one arm and looking at me intently. I chuckled and said, "Of course not.".

Right. He convinced me to change my path and turn over a new leaf. Maybe that was why I was feeling strange and somewhat different.

I smiled, 'The talk-no-jutsu was really powerful, even Pain gave his life to revive all the people he killed after experiencing the jutsu. So, me feeling strange was very mild.'

I chuckled.

...

...

...

wait....

How did I know that?

I had no memories of Naruto and Pain talking together but I am fairly certain they did - as if I had seen them talk with my own eyes, this was too vivid.

..

I was alarmed now, about what was really happening to me. But before I could dive deeper and ponder on the question, I heard a voice that calls out my name with such worry that I froze mentally and physically.

"SASUKE!!!" It was the voice of a girl, her tone tells desperation and obvious anxiety. I looked towards the source and I saw a pink haired girl carrying a man on her back.

She was on top of the valley, she placed the man down and after exchanging brief words with him she jumped down from the height.

She landed gracefully and hurriedly made her way towards us. She gasped when she took a close look at us and without prompt, she crouch down between me and Naruto.

I looked to the side and notice my left arm was absent. I also noticed Naruto`s right arm was gone and the blood that ooze out from our injury connected. Giving the impression of us holding hands.

The girl`s hands began glowing green and I felt my body being assaulted by a warm energy that seems to revitalize every cell in my body. The warmth finally enabled me to feel a sensation other than pain.

The name of the girl materialize in my head, Sakura.

I look up at her face and met her eyes. Her eyes were emerald green, sparkling with life and awareness. In front of her dazzling green orbs, my black eyes were guilty.

"I`m sorry." I said, not even sure of what exactly I was apologizing for, its too many. I had hurt her so much.

Her body shook, and tears began forming in those living eyes of her's. Her hands were busy so they could not wipe away her tears, so they fall and fall and fall.

I'm sorry.

"What for?" she asked, thinking I did noting to her that deserves her forgiveness.

My heart became solid, it was heavy.

"I am so sorry." I said again, this time I braided every word with my emotions. I did not apologize for anything.

..

I apologized for everything.

__---__---__---__---__

Everything that happened after that was blurry, My mind was constantly racing, thinking, trying to remember something. Something important, something missing.

I felt incomplete, I felt like I had lost something. It was akin to trying to remember a name or idea you used to know, something you made sure to not forget but did anyways. It was so close, it was in the perpetual state of forever lost and found

I was vaguely aware as Naruto and I formed a rat seal with our hands and released everyone from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, pulling out the people around the world from their perfect dream.

I was barely conscious as I released the tailed beasts from my control, Chibaku Tensei. They were suspended in the sky and they began falling when I released my control

Some of my chakra returned to me as I did that, it cleared my cloudy mind a bit. The deafening sound which erupted the moment they landed on the ground was something that worked to make me more awake.

I was doing fine, I was getting better. Until...I was not.

I staggered, Naruto noticed me and came to support me. My mind was getting hammered, my heart was beating rapidly, the thumping of it made me deaf.

The voice of Sakura was distorted as she asked me if I was okay.

No, I was not okay.

Then I pass out.

[Sasuke`s POV]

I stirred from my slumber, my eyes cautiously opened. I noticed that I did not need to put in effort nor strength to do that. I pull myself up and sat on the bed I found myself in.

I looked around the room, a hospital. My mind instantly worked to search for the best escape route and I scanned the area for traps or weapons. My mind was unconsciously selecting the best jutsu to use in this tight space before I stopped myself.

My senses were heightened, especially my sight. It felt strange but at the same time I was familiar with these sensations. I trained hard to acquire these senses after all.

My mind was not clouded now. I no longer felt incomplete nor do I feel something missing. I felt new and refreshed. Now, I was aware and knew exactly what had happened to me.

Soul fusion and reincarnation.

Both 'me' from this world and 'me' from another world died and by some weird stroke of fate, their souls fused and I am the product of it.

One part of me was Uchiha Sasuke and the other part was someone from a world where Sasuke Uchiha was fiction.

Both of them are me but I was not them.

I - or Sasuke - died after he admitted his defeat to Naruto, the connection between his soul and body was snapped and his soul was leaving his body. But a new soul, me - or should I say the 'someone' from another world - fused with his soul and this new soul pushed itself back into Sasuke`s body.

This new soul being me, both Sasuke and the 'someone' from another world. But I would say, the Sasuke part of me was more since I am in his body - with his habits, instincts etc.

I carried both the emotional baggages of these two. As well as my own since I am neither of them now.

I sighed, "How complicated." Then as if to mock me, my mind wandered to the possible future. The incoming enemies that were momentarily stopped only by time.

I groaned, "How sophisticatedly complicated."

[3rd POV]

Not long after he had woken up, someone came inside the room. It was a nurse, and Sasuke was able to learn that he had passed out and slept for almost an entire day. He also got to know that the others were at the cemetery, having a funeral for the war heroes.

Sasuke thanked the nurse and got up, the nurse urged him not to but Sasuke insisted he was fine. His arm and many part of his body were wrapped in bandages so he asked for black colored clothes.

The nurse went out of the room and after a while she came back with black clothes. The type of clothes people typically wear on funerals, the nurse could somehow guess that Sasuke wanted to attend the funeral.

"Here wear these, it should fit you." she said.

 "Thank you."

Then the nurse bowed her head and left the room, giving Sasuke some privacy to get changed.

Sasuke got dressed and went towards the window of the room. He gazed out from it, he looked down and a part of him was nervous.

He put one foot on the window frame, took a deep breath and leaped out.

His body took control and he was able to swiftly maneuver on top of the roofs. Part of him was unsure but his feet carried him, almost as if he was flying.

As he leaped from one roof to another, he noticed that he made no sound. He also noticed the power his legs held, even in its fatigue state, he knew he could move fast, extremely fast.

Sasuke soon finished his run like that, aware yet surprised of his capabilities. On the other hand he knew he had done this almost all his life and on the other it felt new to him. It was a weird feeling.

He reached the cemetery and saw thousands of people dressed in black. The mood was gloomy and sad, with occasional sobs and sad music. These emotions washed over Sasuke as well as a his face sat in a sad frown.

He stood a good distance away from the people, where he could observe with no one noticing him. He leaned his shoulder on a tree and he watched.

Sasuke mourned. Sasuke regreted. And since he was Sasuke now, 

He mourns and regrets.
