Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Bonds ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
First off: Kudos to shadowphoenix143 for noticing something major to the story. *sends new Naruto plushie* Would've sent a new Sasuke one but you'll probably kill that one too especially after this chapter.
Secondly: For right now the filler chapter is either on hold or there isn't even going to be one. Okay here's what was going to be in it. Sasuke was on a long ass covert mission. And Tsunade had instructed his team to send reports back every two months. Well one report came back covered in smeared blood and all that. Naruto saw the letter, after having already been depressed about Sasuke leaving, and ran from Tsunade's office. He wandered around town until he stopped in the forest crying. Neji found him not too much later and offered him a shoulder to cry on. That somehow led to them kissing and having sex. About a few days later Sasuke and his team came back home. Naruto and Sasuke had sex. Two months later Naruto found out he was pregnant with the twins. That's about it. Okay now on to the 4th chapter! Wee hoo!! Ya'll gonna kill me…
Same tags apply…
~~~~~~~~~
Naruto walked out of the gates casually, nodding his head to the two night guards. Apparently Tsunade had informed them that he would be leaving. Naruto smiled, glad she remembered. The blonde walked calmly for about 250 yards until he was sure it was safe. Naruto took a deep breath and began his sprint head strong in the direction of Suna.
`Kyuubi you ready?'
`Of course kit. Do what you have to do.'
`Thanks Kyu.' Naruto let some of Kyuubi's chakra leak out and help him. His sapphire eyes bleed red and slited. The three whiskers on his cheeks became more defined and jagged. His teeth and nails grew to a sharp point as well. Before taking to the trees Naruto checked his sleeping daughter. He smiled warmly at the steady breathing child. The blonde jumped into the nearest tree and began his journey. Moving swiftly and quietly making it so he wouldn't disturb the forest or leave that much of a trail.
By the break of dawn Naruto found a spot to rest, before Amatsuki woke up. He planned to travel with Kyuubi by night and walk leisurely by day with Amatsuki. He knew this would take a lot out of him but it was his only plan of action that would probably be fast enough to escape Sasuke. A few hours later, Amatsuki woke up to the smell of cooking fish.
“Mmm…chichi-ue where are we?” Amatsuki groaned stretching her limbs.
“Good morning, hime. We're now about half way to Suna. Our first stop is to visit Uncle Gaara and I think Uncle Neji is there to.” Naruto smiled.
“REALLY?! I haven't seen Uncle Gaara in sooooooooo long. I can't wait!” The little girl yelled jumping up and down.
“If we're lucky we should be there by tomorrow morning. You're breakfast in on the stick on the leaf by the fire. Be careful not to get to close to the flames, Amatsuki.”
“Okay chichi-ue. Aren't you going to eat?”
“Later, okay?” Naruto replied.
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
“Chichi-ue, why are we traveling by night anyway?” Amatsuki asked biting into the fish.
“It's easier to maneuver, especially when you're asleep.”
“No fair chichi-ue! I want to be up when we travel to ya know!” The blonde female pouted.
“Chibi you have to save your energy so you beat uncle Gaara and finally claim victory.”
“But chichi-ue!” Amatsuki whined.
“No buts sweetie. Now eat up before it gets cold.” Naruto commanded in a soft voice.
“Meanie…” Amatsuki puffed out one cheek but continued to eat like she was told.
`Kyu can you check the perimeter?'
`Already done. There is nothing out of the ordinary. So you can relax a bit.'
`Thank you, hairball.' Naruto yawned stretching his arms and cracking his joints.
`Maybe you should get some sleep kit. You look like hell.'
`I feel like hell too. But I can't rest, not until we get to Suna.
`You're that worried, Naruto?'
`Yea Kyu, I am. You get some rest though. Tonight we have to go full throttle, if we want to make it to Suna in time.' Naruto already heard Kyuubi's snores coming from inside the furball's cage. The blonde smirked at the fox. Ancient all powerful demon, yea right. Try old geezer of a fox that everybody has no reason to fear.
“Chichi-ue…Chichi-ue…wake up!” Amatsuki yelled shaking Naruto's arm. Naruto blinked a few times and noticed he had fallen asleep. Amatsuki looked her dad with her navy blue concerned eyes.
“Huh…oh Amat, I'm sorry. Must've dozed off for a bit. Is everything okay?” Naruto said sleepily.
“Everything is fine chichi-ue. Are you okay? You seem a bit out of it.”
“I'm fine, baby. You don't need to worry.” Amatsuki narrowed her eyes at Naruto, unconsciously activating her Sharingan. She looked over her father skeptically making sure for herself everything is okay. Once she deemed he was telling the truth, she blinked and her eyes were back to normal.
“Are you through hime?”
“Yes chichi-ue. You were telling the truth.”
“Thanks for verifying that. I see you got the hang of your Sharingan already. Does your eyes hurt or anything after you use it?”
“Yes to the first and not really to the second. Uncle `Tachi always said that it was a side effect to when you first get the Sharingan. But after awhile the stinging goes away.”
“Okay…I'm glad uncle `Tachi told you all that. It's very helpful to know that he cares about you a lot. But I bet your brothers could've have told you that also.”
“Um…chichi-ue remember they were on a mission when it first happened and you took me to Uncle `Tachi because otou-san wasn't anywhere to be found.”
“Right, how silly.” Naruto laughed. Maybe the last mission he went on the damn ninja hit him over the head to hard. Now that is why the bastard is now six feet under.
“Chichi-ue what are we doing for the day?”
“I guess we can start walking if you're up to it.”
“As long as we don't have to sit here all day, I'm game!”
“But there's a catch.” Naruto said holding up a finger.
“Aww, chichi-ue…what is it?”
“You have to practice your aim while moving.”
“That's it piece of cake.”
Two hours before dawn with the Bastard
The raven walked back to the Uchiha compound. His face and eyes devoided of any emotion. Sasuke entered the house that felt as lifeless as he was. The Uchiha sauntered up the steps to each of the kid's room, making sure they were there. He smiled a bitter smile, knowing the Naruto wouldn't take them away. Sasuke trudged into the dark room that he and the blonde once shared. Throughout the whole house he hadn't felt Naruto's presence at all; he shouldn't have been expecting him to be in the room waiting. But he did notice Naruto's wedding ring sitting on the dresser, closest to the door. You could tell Sasuke saddened immensely. He never meant to push Naruto away. Shit, he never meant for this affair to go that far. Not even thinking he stripped out of his clothes and climbed into the large bed. Then you shouldn't have been cheatin' ya bastard. A little voice sounded in the back of Sasuke's mind. The raven brushed it off.
Sasuke nodded off to sleep. His dreams were meaningless voids, just like his life had become. The next morning, the bastard woke up and thought that last night was a complete nightmare. But when he saw Naruto's ring still on the dresser mocking him, he knew it had been real. Sasuke moped out of bed and got dressed. Begrudgingly Sasuke moped over to Amatsuki's room, preparing to wake her up and get her ready for school.
Leisurely he strode over to the small blonde's bedside. Sasuke sat in the edge of the twin sized bed causing it to dip from the added weight. He shook the sleeping for lightly. The body stirred but didn't wake.
`That's strange, last time she jumped me.' Sasuke thought. He began to panic and shook the girl harder. When he received no other response a thought ran through his pea sized brain. He recalled Naruto's words as clear as day when the blonde left.
`I'm taking my daughter away from you!' Naruto's voice rang through Sasuke's head. He poked the small blonde hard and the clone disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Sasuke growled and darted out of Amatsuki's room. He quickly raced to the Hokage's office. The raven raced up the long stairway to Tsunade's room.
“HOKAGE-SAMA!!” Sasuke said rushing into the overly large office.
“W-what?! UCHIHA, DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS?!” Tsunade roared, still half sleep.
“Naruto left…”
“…left Konoha. I know. He came asking for consent yesterday.”
“And you let him go?!”
“Calm down, Uchiha. And yes I let him go. He would have gone even if I didn't give him the consent. He seemed too distressed to even listen.”
”Did you know he took Amatsuki with him as well?”
“No he did mention anything except that he needed to be out of here by last night. What the hell is going on between you two?”
“I'm going to get my daughter back.”
“Uchiha get your ass back here and sit the fuck down!” Tsunade roared. Sasuke did what he was told, fearing the busty blonde. “I will ask you again: What is going on between you and Naruto?!”
“Nothing of your concern.” Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the young raven. The only thing that kept her from throwing the smug little bastard in a cell for the rest of his measly life was Naruto. But damn the little prick was pushing the wrong buttons today.
“Uchiha, you said early you were going to get back Amatsuki. What about your husband? What will you do?” Tsunade asked with venom in her voice.
“Not to be rude Tsunade-sama but I have no husband. Now if you'll excuse me.” Sasuke replied monotone. He stood up, completely ignoring the blonde woman and walked out of the double doors. He was going to get Amatsuki back if it killed him or Naruto.
After leaving Tsunade's office, Sasuke ran toward the gates of Konoha, planning to track down the blonde and his daughter. Sasuke could still detect the faint signs of Naruto's chakra. He bounded off as fast as his legs would carry him to where he knew Naruto would stop off first, Suna. In truth the raven was making as good as time Naruto was. Maybe not as well but good enough to have him at the place where Naruto camped out at while Amatsuki woke up, a little after nightfall.
Back with Naruto
“Chichi-ue, how long is it going to take us to get there?” Amatsuki asked cheekily.
“We should be there by sunrise tomorrow, chibi. Why you can't wait to see Uncle Gaara and Neji?”
“That and I have a few pranks to pull on Uncle Kanky!”
“You're always coming up with new pranks to pull on everybody. It's kinda scary.”
“Hey what can I say, chichi-ue. It runs in the family.”
“Are you sure you're three? You act more like a ten year old.”
“Chichi-ue stop joking. You know I just turned thwee.” Amatsuki pouted not speaking correctly for added affect.
“Whatever you say hime.”
`Yo kit, I think you should move it.'
`Kyu what's the matter?'
`The Uchiha brat is headed in this direction.'
`Already Kyuubi!'
`Yes and he's moving at almost the same rate you were.'
`Great, just fucking great.' “Hey Amat, it's time that we pick up the pace okay.” Naruto said kneeling in front of Amatsuki.
“Okay chichi-ue. I was getting tired anyway.” Amatsuki yawed. Naruto looked at the sky and saw it darkening.
`No wonder it's almost her bedtime.' Naruto smiled and cradled his small blonde in his arms. He looked at his path ahead. In the blink of an eye he was off. He didn't bother dodging the tree branches that stood in his way. Kyuubi's chakra would cause them to snap before he even got close to them.
“Hold on to me tightly. And don't look up.” Naruto said gently. Amatsuki nodded her head and buried in further into Naruto's chest. Kyuubi's chakra swirled around them protectively. Naruto appeared to be a red blur racing through the forest. He made it to the edge of the river of endless sand. The blonde sighed. The storm that seemed to be raging stopped upon the blonde's arrival. Now that was either Gaara or a complete freak coincidence.
`Kit he's about 200 yards away from the campsite.'
`Thanks Kyuubi. Sorry about this.'
`It's okay. Save the apologies for later. Get moving. I'll guide through the desert so you get lost.'
`Right.' Naruto took breath and hurried into the endless of sand pit. Three hours later Naruto saw the layered sand walls of Suna come into view. Sometime Amatsuki had fallen asleep in Naruto's warm embrace. Naruto was completely worn out but he had to make at least one trip after Suna.
Naruto raced to the Kazekage's office. Unlike at Konoha, Naruto knocked on Gaara's door. He heard a gruff enter come from the other side of the door. Naruto smirked as he pushed opened the door and saw Gaara sitting at his desk looking at a few documents.
“Hey Gaara, long time no see.” Naruto said knowingly.
“Naruto what are you doing here?” Gaara said emotionless but heated at the same time.
“Aww, what we can't come and see you for a surprise visit.”
“No.” Came the flat reply.
“Gaara you haven't changed one bit. Where's Neji?”
“He's tied up right now.”
“Perv, Gaara can you do me a huge favor?”
“Depends on what it is.”
“Can you take care of Amatsuki until I come back?”
“As long as she doesn't terrorize the village like last time.”
“Is that a yes?”
“No it's a no idiot. Of course it's a yes.”
“My, my Gaara how you've softened. Maybe you have changed.”
“Shut up, Naruto. May I ask why is she staying here?”
“I have some business to take care of.” Naruto gave Amatsuki to Gaara, who looked at the child with soft eyes.
“Naruto, what are you planning to do?”
”Gaara you're asking way too many questions. I told you and everyone before I will lay my life on the line to protect my children from anything.”
“Don't do anything too stupid.”
“Ah dear friend, that's my middle name.” Naruto smirked. He went to kiss Amatsuki on the head and exit the office. “Oh and Gaara, if Sasuke comes here don't let him near Amatsuki.” Gaara nodded, knowing Naruto wouldn't answer anymore questions as to why. Naruto ran out of the Kazekage's office and back the way he came. But instead of going back to Konoha he went to the place that he felt was more suited for the occasion.
Less than a day later Sasuke showed up at Suna. He immediately ran to Gaara's office avoiding the staring people. Everyone knew that Naruto and he were together but why had they showed up on separate terms and looking exhausted.
“Gaara where is he?!” The pea brain yelled busting through Gaara's doors.
`Damnit those were just fixed!!' Gaara sat behind his desk calmly as if he were waiting for the asshole…I mean Sasuke.
“What are you talking about Uchiha?”
“You know damn well what the fuck I'm talking about! Where is Naruto and Amatsuki?!” Sasuke yelled slamming his fist on the desk.
“Naruto hasn't been here in over 3 months. As for Amatsuki I haven't seen her since her second birthday. Why, did you lose two of your most precious people?” Gaara antagonized.
“Gaara I can tell he was here not to long ago. His chakra signature is all over the place.”
“I don't know what to tell you, Uchiha. Maybe you're just sensing things. But you also know how Naruto has a lasting presence everywhere he goes.”
“At least tell me where Amatsuki is!”
“I told you before: I haven't seen my niece ever since her second birthday.” Gaara said rising from his seat.
Sasuke glared at the red-head before turning on his heel and running out the doors. Gaara sat back down and sighed. Not two minutes later did Temari walk in with Amatsuki in tow.
“What happened here?” The blonde asked her younger sibling stepping over the broken doors.
Naruto slumped onto a tree branch completely worn out from using so much chakra. He closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep. Kyuubi stayed alert but otherwise let his blonde kit sleep. Naruto needed his rest for what he had planned to do. But to the ancient demons surprised, Naruto for the most part had been using his own chakra. He might have been tapping into Kyuubi's now and then but not as often.
`Just a little more to go.' Naruto thought groggily waking up from his nap.
`Kit where are we going?'
`To the same place that ended everything before.'
`Are you sure about that?'
`It's time we get moving again Kyu.' Naruto stood up slowly. But his legs protested the movement and began to buckle beneath him. That forced the blonde back into a sitting position.
`Naruto maybe you should relax some more. The Uchiha brat is still about a day behind you.'
`No, I can't not until…I have to end this now!' Naruto could hear the fox sigh within him. `Let's just make it there before I rest.' Naruto compromised.
`Alright kit. At least use my chakra to get there.'
`Nuh-huh, I'll probably need it later Kyu.' Naruto smiled at the fox and began running once again. It was another 2 hours before he would arrive at his destination. He might've lost some speed but the important thing was that he was ahead of Sasuke.
“So you're telling me that the Uchiha bastard tracked blondie here looking for the cute terror (Amatsuki). What the hell happened between those two?” Temari gaped.
“The last time Naruto and I actually talked, he did say that he and Sasuke were having problems. He didn't go any further because we got interrupted.”
“So you didn't find out what type of problems they were having?”
“No. Temari could you watch her for a while longer. There are some details that need to be sorted out and looked over carefully.”
“Sure thing.” Temari adjusted the sleeping girl in her arms and carried her off to her house.
`So chichi-ue and otou-san were having problems. But why didn't they make up. From what `Toshi and Rai always say, they usually make up.' Amatsuki looked up at Temari through a cracked eye.
“So how much did you hear, squirt?” Temari asked, startling the girl.
“N-nothing Auntie Mari. Why would you say that?” Amatsuki said jumping out of Temari's arms.
“You don't fall asleep that quickly when you're in Suna. Because just as we were waiting until Uncle Gaara said it was okay to come in you so happenly fell asleep. So what did you hear Amatsuki?”
“N-nothing.”
“You're as bad a liar as your chichi-ue, Amatsuki.”
“Okay, I heard that chichi-ue and otou-san were having problems. That's it I swear!”
“What were you planning to do?”
“Nothing…yet.” Amatsuki said truthfully.
“Keep it that way Amat. You're not going to do anything.”
“But auntie I wanna help chichi-ue and otou-san.” She said turning on the water works.
“I know but sweetie they have to work it out themselves. This is something your cute little face can't butt into this time.”
“Auntie Temari was it because of me that they started having problems, because it sure seems like it.” Amatsuki wailed harder.
“Shh…of course it wasn't because of you, honey. You didn't do anything wrong.” Temari said trying to calm down Amatsuki.
“Then what was it?” The blonde mini fox sobbed.
“I don't know what it was, chibi.”
“Then how do you know it wasn't me?! They didn't start having these troubles until after I was born. Otou-san seemed happy to have another kid but it changed soon after. Auntie Temari why doesn't otou-san love me?” Amatsuki wept.
“Oh my god Amatsuki, your father loves you very much he just doesn't know how to show it. Your chichi-ue and otou-san wouldn't fight because of you, sweetheart. Who told you that your father doesn't love you?” Temari said comforting the chibi Uchiha…oops Uzumaki.
“No one. It's just that otou-san doesn't spend time with me or talk about me like he does Raiden or Satoshi.” Amatsuki sniffled.
“Don't think like that Amatsuki. Sasuke loves you very much. He might not show it but he does. He probably doesn't want anything to happen to you.”
“Are you sure?” Amatsuki wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
“Positive, cute terror.” Temari smiled.
“Thank you Auntie Mari. Can we go pull…I mean see Uncle Kanky?” Amatsuki asked innocently.
“Sure Amatsuki.” Temari held out her hand to the fox in training. `This should be fun.' Amatsuki happily accepted the offered hand and grinned up at Temari. The wind mistress smiled back and they skipped off to Kankuro's.
Naruto plopped down on a nearby rock. Sweat covered his entire body and he was panting heavily. The blonde sat there trying to regulate his erratic breathing. With his breath returning back to normal, Naruto stripped and dove into the water just to wash of a bit. The cool water felt good against his hot skin. It had been a day already and his chakra still hadn't returned to its maximum.
`Kyu do you know what's going on?'
`Not yet but I'm trying to figure that out. I think it's because the seal is starting to break.'
`What?! How can that be? I mean it's not going to be all that bad. Right Kyuubi?'
`Wrong kit, because once that seal breaks the medium will…'
`Crap Kyuubi. Explain it later. He's almost here. Guess that wasn't much of a rest, ne?' The Kyuubi-vessel thought sarcastically. Naruto let off a bit of his chakra that he had regained to lead the raven to where he was. While he did that he jumped out of the water and put his clothes back on.
Sasuke was jumping from branch to branch with his Sharingan flaring, searching for the tiniest trace of the blonde. He stopped on a thick branch sensing Naruto's chakra.
`It's faint but it's there.' Sasuke headed to where the signal was coming from. It was another forty five minutes before Sasuke got to the place. Naruto had his back toward the entrance and the newly appeared guest.
“Took you long enough to get here. What did you do…get sidetracked?” Naruto said monotonously.
“Where is she?”
“Who you're lover?”
“Naruto, where is my daughter?”
“Amatsuki is safe, away from you.”
“Naruto give her back!” Sasuke growled.
“What so you can mostly likely ignore her and leave her to fend for herself. Because the boys won't be able to do it often.”
“You know I wouldn't do that.”
“No I don't! The Sasuke I knew wouldn't do that. The Sasuke standing here right now would.”
“NARUTO!”
“Are you going to uphold your threat or are we just going to sit here and argue. If that's all you plan on doing then you've wasted your time in trying to get Amatsuki back.” Naruto began to walk away. But stopped when Sasuke threw a kunai at his head. The blonde tilted his head to the side, easily dodging the object.
*Sucky battle scene ahead…I can't write one to save my life*
“Getting a bit sloppy, aren't cha Sasuke?” Naruto taunted still walking away. Sasuke charged at Naruto with another kunai.
Naruto simply back flipped over Sasuke's head. He did another back flip off of his hands and threw four shuriken at the raven. Sasuke turned around just in time to deflect them and made the hands signs for the Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu. With Naruto still in mid-air he had no way to dodge the attack. Naruto realized what his ex was doing and responded with his own simple set of hand signs. Just as the raven finished the hands sign a giant fire ball made its way to the floating Naruto. The said blonde was burnt to a charcoal crisp or so he thought. When the smoke cleared, Sasuke didn't see the body of the blonde but a charred rock.
`Damnit, he used the substitution jutsu.'
“You could've really killed me with that bastard!” Naruto yelled. `The mother fucker is really serious!' Sasuke heard the loud mouth behind him.
“That was the point, ursakontachi!” The raven went to turn around but a cold steel sharp object was placed at throat and somehow both of his hands were twisted painfully behind back.
`When did he get there?' Sasuke began to think of a way to get out of Naruto's deadly grip. If he tried to struggle than the kunai would most likely kill him. On the other side both of his hands were pinned. What the hell do you do?
“It's ironic that you picked here of all places, Naruto.”
“It's the same place where you ended everything the first time.”
“How is that we always seem to repeat ourselves no matter what happens, eh Naruto?”
“I guess it's because we're too predictable Sasuke.” Naruto said as he jumped avoiding a kick from the said raven. But Sasuke's actions had not gone without consequence. While Naruto had leaped away the kunai dragged across the raven's pale neck, leaving a shallow but bloody wound. Sasuke wiped away the blood that dripped down his neck and glared at Naruto, who seemed to have disappeared.
The said fox had dove into the water as far as he could. All the while trying to think of a plan to end this quickly. His chakra was still running on low and seemed to be slipping away by the moment. Naruto slipped behind a rock that wouldn't conceal his presence for long.
`Shit, my chakra is still too low. Can't use any major attacks. What the fuck can I do?'
`Kit, calm down. Can't you try making a smaller rasengan and making a mini whirlpool or something like you did with those other nins?'
`Kyu that a great idea and all but that would take a little too much time. And from the pressure changing it seems like the bastard is about to use chidori but from where I don't know.' Just as Naruto finished the sentence he heard the chirping coming from behind him. As he went to go move his body froze on him, making it impossible for him to evade the attack. The bastard's chidori pierced Naruto through the stomach, just missing Kyuubi's seal. Naruto coughed up a mouth full of blood. Sweat began to form on his brow even though they were in the water. The Uchiha heir yanked his arm out of the blonde, letting him float to the top lifeless. His arm covered in the crimson liquid of his ex love.
“Predictable…” Naruto whispered on the brink of unconsciousness. The limp body bobbed at the top of the water. A bloody trail following its wake. Sasuke swam back to the top of the water that was now stained a deathly red. The raven turned his back to the floating Naruto and began to walk away. No emotion, no regret, nothing graced the pale features of Uchiha Sasuke.
Naruto grunted in pain as he began to stir. His eyes bleed red and teeth, no fangs were bared. This was no longer the loveable blonde but Kyuubi no Kitsune. Kyuubi focused his chakra into his knees and hands to keep him from falling back under. Kyuubi roared at the retreating Uchiha. Said Uchiha froze on the spot hearing the ferocious snarl.
`That bastard killed me…again. Kyuubi, don't mess him up to badly.'
`My pleasure.' Kyuubi snatched a few shuriken out from Naruto's holder and threw them at the raven, while whispering Shadow shuriken jutsu.
“What the fuck shouldn't you be dead?” Sasuke said aloud dodging most of the deadly weapons but getting nicked by a few. The shuriken were followed by a red eyed blonde. Kyuubi gave Sasuke a twisted punch to the gut then twisted his body again and gave him a kick to the ribs. That sent the still shocked raven flying backwards in a large boulder.
Knowing that Sasuke wasn't down for the count Kyuubi concentrated on the raven's subtle movements. With his enhanced senses Kyuubi could tell what the bastard was going to do and when. Like on cue Kyuubi saw the black blur jump from the debris. The said blur was running top speed toward the ancient demon fox. Kyuubi swayed from side to side before meeting him in mid-water, catching the others fist in the opposite hand. Now this seemed too familiar. Kyuubi smirked knowing this was going to happen. In lightning fast movements the hand holding the pale hand slipped around the others wrist while Kyuubi's other hand wrenched itself from Sasuke's weakened grip. The fox demon quickly flipped the raven over his shoulder and into the water back fist. They both heard a sickening crack as Sasuke's arm was broken in the process. The Sharingan wielder slowly sank. Kyuubi sat there panting. How the hell was this taking a toll on him? The fox hopped to solid ground, slowly letting Naruto regain control of his body. Kyuubi had to concentrate on healing the blonde or he would die.
Naruto's eyes began to drop. He was exhausted but he also knew this wasn't over. Even though Sasuke's arm was broke that didn't mean anything. The blonde concentrated on what would happen next. It wasn't hard, again, when the ground began to crumble beneath him and the sound of chidori was heard. Naruto quickly jumped out of the way as Sasuke came flapping up in the curse seal's second phase.
“Ah, so I've push you to use the curse seal huh?” Naruto taunted. Sasuke said nothing as he charged Naruto with his katana in his hand. The blonde couldn't do anything but take the blade to the shoulder. `He missed?' Naruto thought as the blade connected. He heard the labored breathing of the raven. Naruto gave a hard punch to Sasuke's ribs and jumped on to the first Hokage's head. He had no choice but to use his last resort.
`Kyuubi don't take too long!'
`WHAT THE FUCK?! The last time you went used that you almost killed Sakura!'
`It's the last thing we've got.'
`Ugh, kit you stubborn ass!' Kyuubi growled as four tails formed. Naruto's skin began to peel off. He began to look like a mini Kyuubi. Kyuubi roared loudly causing the water to ripple and shake in fear. He knew he didn't have long before Naruto lost complete control of his body. The fox lunged at the now flying raven, ripping into one of the large wings. Sasuke let out his own growl but one of pain. Kyuubi just kept tearing at the wings hopefully trying to get him back on the ground.
Sasuke rolled and twisted in the air trying to rid himself of the red parasite. He felt himself losing altitude and spiraling toward the ground. Kyuubi looked up for the raven's back and jumped off, forcing Sasuke to go tumbling to the ground harder. With the last bit of his chakra, Sasuke summoned a two headed snake just in time to catch him. Kyuubi growled in annoyance.
`The fucking Uchiha doesn't know how to fucking die.But it does seem like he's out of chakra. Might as well finish the job.' Kyuubi hopped down from his post, calmly walking to the place where the Uchiha lay, motionless. The mini Kyuubi entered the still swirling dust and lifted his paw to deliver the last blow. What he didn't expect was for Sasuke's katana to stab him straight in the chest. Red eyes slowly melted away back to a dying blue. The place where the Uchiha had stabbed him was the same place as when he first left. Naruto coughed. Sasuke smirked bitterly, but there was also an underlying emotion the blonde couldn't tell from between his blurry vision. Sasuke slowly pulled out the blade and sheathed it. Naruto's body slumped to the ground, barely moving.
His breathing was becoming erratic. A heavy layer of sweat began to cover the blonde's entire body. His vision was slowly fading. The once bronzed skin was turning to a deathly pale. But there was a mocking smile placed on his lips.
“Guess you win teme. B-but you'll never get Amatsuki back.” Naruto said weakly.
“Naruto this was never a game.”
`Kit shut the fuck up! You need your strength and I need to heal you. It's over, Amatsuki is safe and you'll be with her in a few hours or a day.' Naruto ignored the fox's warning.
“Hmph, but we both did take something from it.”
“What do you mean?”
“You took my life and I…took…” Naruto breathing stopped, his heart rate slowed. Sasuke stared at the lifeless blonde. If you listened and looked at the raven carefully you could see and possibly hear his heart breaking. Sasuke's eyes died, nothing was left within him.
“Dobe you took my love.” He muttered solemnly and began to walk away.
TBC ~~~~~~~~~
