stands in the shadowy doorway, silhouette unmistakable Sasuke, long time. Missed ya.
I look shocked H-how? W-when?
Long story short, kid. Got trapped in the Spirit Realm for a minute, then managed to break free. Found my way back here. It's been tough, but I made it.
W-wait he grabbed her shoulders What Happened Back There!?
pulls away gently from Patterson's grip Look, I went through some shit, alright? Doesn't matter now. What matters is that I'm back, and I want to reconnect with my son. So let's cut the chit-chat and get to the good stuff, yeah?
Y-yea….he stares at her tears welling up in his eyes
grabs Patterson's hand No need for tears, kid. We've got a lot to catch up on. First things first, how's your ninja training coming along?
it’s great! But how? How are you back? How are you alive?
smirks, releasing Patterson's hand That's my little genius, always curious. But let's save the questions for later, we've got training to do.
raises an eyebrow Kakashi? He's still taking care of you, I assume. But listen, kid, I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere.
H-how did you get here? Didn’t you die?
rolls her eyes Died? Nah, just took a little detour. Let's just say I had a score to settle and some unfinished business.
Look, kid, I know this is a lot to take in, but we don't have time to sit around and reminisce. We've got training to do, and I've got some tricks up my sleeve to help you become a stronger ninja. cracks her knuckles So suit up and let's get to it. We've wasted enough time already.
<Mikoto starts training Patterson intensively, pushing him to his limits>
O-okay…..M-mother…he said feeling weak again
smirks Weak? You think you can't handle this? You're my son, Sasuke. Strong blood runs through those veins. Don't tell me you're giving up already.
I’m trying…but I’ve never trained before….so I’m still learning…..i-is there anything else I should know……he tried moving a boulder and failed
laughs Trying, huh? Good start, kid. But remember, learning takes time. And don't worry, I'll be here every step of the way.
D-don’t worry about me….he spoke softly looking down in shame…I…I will try harder….no matter what happens…..
gives Patterson a confident slap on the back That's the spirit, kid! Now, let's put those words into action.
A-alright mother….he spoke barely above a whisper as he bowed to his mother….thank you…for finding me…..I thought I’d never see you again….
grins, pulling Patterson into a tight hug Don't you worry, Sasuke. Your momma's always coming back for more.
A-actually….I wanted to give this to you when you came back…..he pulled out an expensive necklace for her
takes the necklace, examining it with a smirk Nice try, kid. But you know I don't need fancy jewelry to remind me that you're my son.
M-mother…..it’s o-only the best for the best…..m-mother…..I….his voice gave out as he couldn’t bring himself to speak again
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, Sasuke, you really know how to sweet-talk your old lady. But let's focus on the training, shall we?
A-alright mother……..one thing before we start though…..my rival…..is he still here?
Rival? You mean Naruto? Yeah, he's still around. But don't worry, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to help you take him down.
okay…..he said trying to sound calm but he was failing…..he remembered his first rival he made when he became a genin when he lost to naruto
Look, kid, I know you and Naruto have a history. But right now, we need to focus on getting you stronger. No distractions.
yes ma’am…..i understand…..
Alright, listen up, kid. We're gonna start with some basic taijutsu drills. It's time to show Naruto who's boss.
I’m ready…..mo…….mother…..he stopped talking then realizing he called her that
<As Patterson calls Mikoto'mother', he suddenly remembers the painful truth - Mikoto isn't his biological mother. His real mother sacrificed herself to save him, and Mikoto has been keeping this secret from him all these years. The revelation leaves Patterson devastated and filled with a mix of emotions - gratitude towards Mikoto, guilt for his past actions, and a deep longing to reconnect with his true family.>
after the truth was told…..so I’m an orphan….that’s why I have no family…….I have no one left…..
steps forward, placing a hand on Patterson's shoulder Hey, hey, don't beat yourself up, kid. Family isn't just about blood.
I know….but she died because of me….
squeezes Patterson's shoulder gently Listen, kid, we've all got our fair share of pain. But blaming yourself won't change a damn thing.
Yea……I just….his voice gives out again…just felt alone…..all those years……and then when i became a genin I-i made a rival……i thought…….his memory suddenly came back to him….I-i made a promise! A promise to uchiha sasuke that I would get stronger……no matter what! S-she….my mother…..she gave me her last words to me….”I have to leave you now…It’s time for me to meet god…” I said “No!”…..and I left….looking for a way to revive her! ……then i met Hatake…and he said “I have no idea how to revive the dead!” so….i-i left…..but now I’m stronger…and it’s time to honor my mother’s words……that’s why I came back…..
pauses for a moment, assessing Patterson's emotional turmoil Alright, kid.
he sighed trying to compose himself.....
Alright, kid. First things first, we need to channel that anger and determination of yours into something productive.
yes…..h-hat should we do next…..
We're gonna start with some intense strength training.
