Bab 1323: 28
Itachi – Finally, after the long wait, here's PHD's chap… Guys will you put the game down, we have things to do.
Kisame – In a second… Lee, don't you dare marry Lissa to that prick!
Lee – But Kisame-san, they belong together!
Itachi – You guys are still playing Fire Emblem? That game is months old!
Lee – Phoenixsun-san only let us use his copy recently…
Kisame – The bastard…
Itachi – Nevertheless, about PHD's chapter 28?
Kisame – It's probably months away before Phoenixsun can finish it. We have time.
Itachi – Fine, I'll do it by myself. *Clear throat* Since the last update, Phoenixsun has rewritten chapters 5, 6, and 7, and we honestly suggest…
Kisame – You idiot that's our last Master Seal!
Lee – Lon'qu needs it, Kisame-san!
Itachi – *Sigh* I honestly suggest that you go back to read them before reading this one, since there are some… themes that relate. Now, with that out of the way, I leave you with PHD's chapter 28.
Kisame – I don't want him as a Swordmaster! Make him an Assassin!
Itachi – Grrr…
Kaleidoscopic Bond
Naruto pushed his body to move as fast as it could. With each branch he jumped off of, the blond tried desperately not to think about what he had to leave behind, about his severely injured friends, about the insanely powerful shinobi from Sound, or about the gigantic explosion he had felt a while back. All that genin could allow himself to focus on was catching up with the blue haired teen and save Sasuke; otherwise all that he and his friends had gone throughout would be rendered meaningless.
"I swear… After I bring him home I'm going to beat Sasuke within an inch of his life…" Naruto said to himself between jumps in order to keep his mind off more unpleasant matters. "Or better yet… I will just let him face the wrath of the village girls… While I just sit back and enjoy the show…" He added.
Focusing back on the chase, the Sharingan user had forgotten how long he had been running after Ukon for quite some time. The silent threat issued by Kimimaro had seemingly done its job as it lit a powerful fire under the blue haired shinobi. Despite being severely injured by Shikamaru's trap, the Sound nin had been running at top speed since the very start and not giving any signs of slowing down, making it incredibly difficult for Naruto to catch up.
Finally, after what had to be at least several hours of chasing, Naruto was able to make up Ukon's and the wood container's figures in the distance. "You bastard… I got you now." The spiky haired teen said to himself, managing to muster a bit more speed thanks to the elation at the sight of his target.
Sensing a power spike behind him, Ukon looked over his shoulder. The Oto nin's eyes widened in shock when he saw the blond right on his tail. "How… How did you get pass Kimimaro?!" The young man exclaimed in surprise and bewilderment, but, to his credit, did not slow down.
Little by little, Naruto started to reduce the distance between him and the Sound ninja. Just a bit more and he could bring this whole crazy mission to an end.
Ukon started to panic. The spiky haired boy was going to catch up to him at any minute and even if he dropped the Uchiha and made a run for it, it would not be long before Kimimaro or Orochimaru himself found him. Suddenly the sight of a river appeared in front of the blue haired teen filling him with hope. "I'm almost at the border." The Oto nin whispered to himself. "If I can just make it down the waterfall it'll be a straight shot right out of this hell hole!" He said feeling a bit of energy returning to his body.
Quickly closing the distance, Ukon jumped off the waterfall's edge and for a second, he could already picture himself reaching Orochimaru's hide out. The next second, however, the wooden container exploded and large dragon mouth made out of electricity engulfed the blue haired teen completely.
By the time Ukon's body finally landed on the ground, it never moved again.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted when he watched the explosion and the Raiton jutsu disappear over the edge. Reaching the waterfall, the blond jumped into one of the two statues and glanced down, his eyes widening in surprised by what greeted them.
At the foot of the waterfall, a strange figure was panting. The creature had dark skin and long, messy dark gray hair. Then, slowly, the skin begun to clear up and the hair to recede, and gradually that figure started to resemble Sasuke once again.
"What the hell…" Naruto whispered to himself before shaking off his bewilderment. "Sasuke are you alright?!" He called out.
The Uchiha was glancing down at his own body trying to make sense of what had just happened. It had been like his first experience with the Cursed Seal back in the forest of death, only about one thousand times stronger. He had felt incredibly powerful and eager to take on the world once again; the only difference then and now, though, was that the raven haired teen knew better this time. His teammate's voice snapped the genin out of his thoughts. "I… I think I am…" He responded.
Sighing in relief, Naruto decided that it would be better to deal with whatever had just happen once they were both back in the village. "That's great… Let's go! If we hurry we can make it back before Ichiraku's closes!" The blond stated. "Also, Shikamaru and the others probably need medical attention." He added with the small hint of humor as he was about to turn around and set out back to Konoha.
"No…" Sasuke responded in a low voice just barely audible by the blond on top of the waterfall.
"What…?" The Jinchuuriki asked incredulously as he turned back around and looked down at his teammate.
The Uchiha held his gaze at the spiky haired teen. "I'm not planning to go back to the village..." He clarified. Sure, whatever the Sound ninjas had done to him did make the raven haired genin feel stronger than he ever felt before, but Sasuke knew too well that that his newfound power would be meaningless. What the young man truly wanted was to become strong enough to suppress any instinct that genetically might drive him to destroy the things he valued the most, as Itachi had claimed he would, and for that what he needed, above all less, was control, and his experience in the Forest of Death had made it clear that he had no control over whatever power the Cursed Seal gave him. "At least not for now..." Sasuke added finally dropping his gaze.
"Are you crazy?!" Naruto screamed, not bothering to hide his anger. "Shikamaru and the others risked their lives for you! Sakura was left completely devastated because of what you did!" He shouted. "And despite all that you still want to continue with this stupidity!" The blonde's word echoed throughout the entire valley.
Sasuke gritted his teeth, but he was unable to stop the anger that was rising inside of him too. "It's exactly because of them that I'm doing this!" He shouted back. "We're both Uchiha! Our blood will try to get us to kill each other! Do you want to put Sakura and the others through that?!" The raven haired teen asked.
"You don't know that!" The Jinchuuriki rebutted. "The only time I've ever wanted to kill you is right now! And not because of the Uchiha blood, but because your acting like a colossal moron!" Naruto shouted, closing his fist so tight that blood started to run down from them.
Trying to calm himself, Sasuke shook his head. "You just don't understand…" He whispered as his gaze dropped down. From the edge of his line of sight, the young man could see his reflection on the water.
The two genin remained silent for several minutes. Naruto glaring at Sasuke, while the raven haired teen continued to look at the ground.
"Fight me, Naruto…" Sasuke finally said, taking his teammate by surprise. "If I win, that means that I should be strong enough to hold back whatever power the Uchiha blood has over me and I can return to the village." The young man pointed out. "But if I lose, you have to let me leave." He added.
The blond shook his head. "Just went I thought you couldn't say anything stupider…" He commented humorlessly. "I'm not going to fight you, Sasuke." The Jinchuuriki stated firmly.
The Uchiha's eyes narrowed. "Yes, you will… If you want to finally put an end to his whole ordeal." The young man declared. "Fight me, and fight me with all you have so that we can finally find out who is stronger, you know I'll be able to tell if you hold back."
Anger started to overwhelm the spiky haired teen again. "Then what's stopping me from beating the holy hell out of you and then simply dragging your sorry ass back to the village?" He asked playing along.
Sasuke's eyes did not waver at the question. "Then the first thing I'll do when I get back is put in my resignation as a ninja of the Leaf, it's that simple." He calmly responded.
A pair of sapphire eyes widened in surprise for a second before they narrowed in pure and unrelenting anger. "It's that simple, huh?" He repeated his teammate's words. "Very well…" The blond continued as his hand reached up to his Leaf headband. "If you can so easily ignore the suffering you're inflicting on those you care about, then so can I…" Naruto added as he ripped out the headband from his forehead and threw it to the side. "I'm just going to beat the living crap out of you! It's that simple!" He shouted as the Sora Sharingan appeared in his eyes and he jumped off the waterfall.
By the time Sasuke activated his own Sharigan, half a dozen blondes had already landed around him and immediately moved in to attack.
Thanks to the fact that his dojutsu had finally fully matured, Sasuke could actually followed all the incoming punches and kicks from Naruto and his clones. Unfortunately, being able to see them did not do much against the strength, speed, and greater number that they were coming at. Little by little, the raven haired boy was being pushed back as he was forced to stay completely in the defensive.
Eventually, a punch broke through the raven haired teen's defenses, connecting with the side of his face and causing him to stumble back several steps to the point he was pushed back onto the lake.
Seeing the army of spiky haired genin immediately lunged forwards after him, Sasuke cut off the chakra emanation from his feet and let his body fall into the water, but not before releasing an explosive tag just as his opponents were closing in. Underwater, the raven haired boy saw the explosion engulf all of his attackers.
The Uchiha resurfaced a short distance away, but was not quick enough when the real Naruto shot out of the cloud of smoke left by the explosive tag and delivered a devastating blow to the raven haired genin's midsection with enough force to send his body flying away.
Feeling his lights go out for a second, Sasuke was able to recover mid-flight and quickly formed a series of hand seals. "Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" He called out before releasing a large fireball down towards the blond.
"Suigadan!" Naruto responded instantly as the water projectiles shot out of the lake an intercepted the incoming Katon attack, canceling each other out.
Once Sasuke landed back on the water, the two Sharingan users took a second to glare at each other before charging forward to continue their fight.
Wandering through the door, Sakura immediately closed it behind her. Letting out a weary sigh as she pressed her back against the wooden object, the Leaf genin let her body slide down until she was sitting in the dark on the cold and dirty floor of Naruto's apartment.
Once the Kunoichi Meeting finally ended, the pink haired girl had expressed her desire not to go home. Thankfully, without even asking questions about it, Ino told her that she would cover for her and tell her parents that she was staying over so they would not worry.
After that, the Haruno wandered the streets by herself, trying her best not to think of what might be happening with her teammates and friends at the moment, but failing miserably. Were they able to find Sasuke? Where they able to convince him to come back? Did the confrontation turned physical? Why have they yet to hear anything from them? All of those questions and many more continued to echo inside the kunoichi's mind.
Eventually, in the middle of all that deep pondering, Sakura found herself back at Naruto's apartment, and, having nowhere else to spent what would most likely be a long night, decided to enter. "He really needs to learn how to clean his stuff…" The girl said humorlessly as she glanced around at the chaotic apartment, having failed to see the disarray when she had been there earlier. Those events seemed like they had been a lifetime ago, a lifetime that she was forced to do nothing but wait and hope for her teammates to turn up and tell her that everything was going to be fine.
Throwing away the half-eaten cup of ramen she had left before Tenten had decided to, almost forcibly, drag her out, as well as some of the thrash nearby, Sakura decided to wash some of her teammate's dishes while she was at it. Anything to keep her mind away from aggravating thoughts.
For the first few minutes, the pink haired teen's plan worked as she was able to clean a couple of plates without sinking back into despair. However, her small peace of mind was cut short by sudden sound of something falling to the floor and of glass shattering.
Looking around, Sakura soon found the source of the noise. Approaching the object, the young woman realized that one of the portraits Naruto kept had fallen front its place up on the wall. Picking the picture up, the Haruno felt a terrible shiver run down her spine as she saw that it had been Naruto's copy of Team Seven's picture that had fallen. The genin was so shocked that she accidentately cut one of her fingers with a shard of broken glass, a few drops her blood falling directly on the unprotected picture.
Immediately, the suffocating sense of dread returned at full force. "Please… Let this just be a mere coincidence…" Sakura prayed to whatever god would listen and hoped that the fall of the picture frame would not be some sort of bad omen, that it would not be the world's way of telling her that Team Seven was done for. "Sasuke-kun… Naruto… Please come back." The girl broke down as the weight of the entire situation became too much for her to bear. Her tears washed away the blood that had fallen on the portrait.
"Rasengan!"
"Chidori!"
Things had escalated in the fight between the two Leaf genin. Punches and kicks gave way to kunai and shuriken, which in turn were replace by ninjutsu, leading to the clash between the two powerful techniques right at the foot of the waterfall.
Through the collision of raw chakra, Naruto and Sasuke managed to glare at each other once again before their attacks detonated into a massive explosion, throwing the two teenagers back as if they were ragdolls.
"Had enough yet, Sasuke?" The blond asked in a ragged breath as he secured his footing on top of the lake.
The Uchiha struggled to push his body off the ground as the knot that tied his headband came undone and the artifact fell off. "Of course not… Why? You want to quit?" The raven haired boy retorted, his voice just as tired.
Without saying another word, the two Sharingan users lunged at each other once again, coming full circle as both of them went back to use their fists to attack their opponent.
As they resumed trading punches, Sasuke felt himself gaining more and more ground. Suddenly his speed was starting to keep up and his strength to push back the blond, gradually exhaustion gave way to excitement. Managing to completely dodged a punch that was aimed at his head, the Uchiha had a clear shot to deliver a powerful kick onto Naruto's stomach with enough force to push him back all the way to the stone wall at the edge of the valley. A smile appeared on the raven haired teen's face at the look of anger he received from his teammate.
Unbeknownst to Sasuke, the first level of the Cursed Seal had activated sometime during the fight.
Naruto quickly performed hand seals. "Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" He breathed out a fireball towards his teammate.
Not bothering to challenge the attack, the raven haired genin simply jumped high into the air to avoid the incoming Katon jutsu. Taking out a pair of kunai, the Uchiha threw them in succession towards the blond.
Sidestepping the first projectile, the Jinchuuriki evade the second blade as he jumped after the raven haired teen. However, being too focus on his target caused Naruto to fail to notices the two cables tied to both kunai.
Sasuke brought the ends of the threads up to his mouth. "Ryuuka no Jutsu!" He called out before breathing fire into the cables and sending a pair of fire dragons speeding down towards the spiky haired boy.
Cursing under his breath at the realization that he did not have enough time for hand seals that would take him out of his current predicament, Naruto had no other option but to send chakra into his eyes. "Amaterasu…" Instantly, a surge of black flames stopped the two dragons right on their tracks, consuming both of them in a matter of seconds.
However, surprising both genin, the black flames did not stop there as they quickly traveled up towards Sasuke on the pair of threads that had carried the Uchiha's jutsu.
Realizing the danger, Sasuke let go of the cables before the flames could get to him. Unfortunately, the Leaf nin was too slow as a single ember managed to reach him, immediately setting his entire left sleeve on fire. The searing pain was instant, causing the raven haired teen to fall down limply on the ground.
Trying not to let panic overwhelm him, the Uchiha searched until he found somewhere to grab a hold of his cloths that was not on fire and ripped out the fabric that was ablaze.
Immediately, the severe pain that the Sharingan users was feeling was replace by intense dread at the sight of the Cursed Seal's marking spread to most of his body's left side. "What…?" Sasuke whispered in surprise. "When did it…?" The boy's inquiry was cut short as the seals suddenly started to throb, sending wave after wave of searing pain throughout his entire being.
Naruto watched stunned as his teammate toppled over and the black marks on his body started to glow burning red. Slowly, the seals continued to spread, transforming Sasuke into the figure that the blond had seen from atop of the waterfall with the darkened skin and long gray hair.
"Aaargh!" The Uchiha screamed in pain as a pair of large, wing-like appendages sprout from his back. Opening his eyes, the genin revealed a pair of large, blackened eyes with a fear-filled Sharingan in the middle of it.
"Let's stop this Sasuke." Naruto suggested once the initial shock wore off. Worry taking the place of the anger that had been controlling him. "You need help." He added.
Still trying to shake the terror of his sudden transformation off, the raven haired teen shook his head. "No… No we will finish this…" He said as he struggled to stand up. Even though all the pain his body was in had been replaced by more energy and strength that the young man had ever felt, Sasuke still felt extremely unsure of himself as the shock had yet to wear off. "You just want to quit… Because I was starting to… To gain the upper hand." The genin said, trying to still his nerves.
"Damn it!" The Jinchuuriki exclaimed as the anger started to return. "Would you quit acting so stupid?! Things are getting way out of hand already and yet you still want to continue?!" The blond raged as he griped his fist tightly.
Sasuke shook his head. "I have to keep going… We have to…" The transformed teen's body wavered the slightest. "We have to settle this one and for all." He stated before charging forward.
Cursing once more, Naruto lunged forward to meet his teammate head on, pumping chakra into his arms to keep up with his opponent's transformed state.
The collision between the two genin was strong enough to cause a small weave to ripple through the lake. Both Sharingan users were pushed back by the backlash of their attack and, as soon as they landed, the two started making hand seals immediately.
"Suigadan!"
"Housekan no Jutsu!"
A pair of water twister rose out of the lake from the blonde's jutsu, but they were immediately ripped into droplets of water by the barrage of small fireballs released by the raven haired teen. Naruto was force to jump back to dodge the incoming attack.
Sasuke took advantage of the split second that his opponent was preoccupied with dodging to charge forward at top speed, a Chidori soon chirping in his left hand.
Moving on instinct, the Jinchuuriki made a series of seals. "Kakougan Kangoku no Jutsu." He quickly declared before several stone walls rose between him and the incoming, Raiton wielding Uchiha. The Chidori smashed through all the barriers easily, but it was still enough time for Naruto not only to make a clean get away, but also position himself behind his opponent to counter with a roundhouse kick.
Seeing his teammate's leg approach the raven haired boy moved one of his wing appendages up to block it. Though the wing managed to absorb most of the impact, the kick still carried enough force to push the transformed teen back.
The two Sharingan users caught each other eyes for a single second before instantly charging at each other again, their fists colliding with each other once more before they both jumped back to put some distance between them.
Looking at each other, both members silently came to an agreement to go all out in their next attack and each started to pool massive amounts of chakra. Soon, one genin was surrounded by a dragon made out of pure electricity while the other was covered in flames, which rose to form a single wing on his right-hand side.
"Houyoku!"
"Raikiri Ryu!"
Almost in synchronized precision, the two boys shot towards each other with their respective jutsus burning in the palm of their hands as they thrust them forward. The pair of powerful ninjutsu collided pushing water and rubble out of their way.
The chakra in the two attacks resonated with one another, trapping the two genin in a sphere of pure light as each tried to push the other one back.
Despite the blinding brilliance of their surrounding, the two Sharingan users could still see each other clearly. Neither of them knew the reason why, maybe it was because of the rivalry they had held against the other for so long, or maybe because of the hold their Uchiha blood had over them, but at that moment they both felt a sense of contentment.
Suddenly, any feeling of ease was stripped away from Naruto as he felt a bout of massive pain spread throughout his body. The Jinchuuriki had to deal with brief attacks of pain ever sense he absorbed the fox's chakra, but they had all being quiet short, lasting only enough to be a mild bother, this one, however, was not like that. The spiky haired boy felt as if he had eaten an explosive tag and now his insides were burning up. The pain reached such a high level that for a single moment, the young man completely blacked out, causing the Katon jutsu to extinguish from his hand.
With nothing to clash again all of the sudden, Sasuke's lightning covered hand continued forward and, before the raven haired teen could do anything about, plunged straight into his teammate's chest.
The shock in Naruto's eyes was only matched by Sasuke's as the two looked straight at each other, the light fading away and leaving the two genin standing silently in the middle of the lake.
Ever so slowly and without uttering a single sound, Naruto's body started to fall back. The Uchiha hand getting dislodged out of his chest as the blond fell into the water.
Sasuke's mind refused to make sense of what has just occurred; instead his eyes simply followed his teammate as he disappeared into the blood stained waters of the lake. The Uchiha dropped to his knees as the water begun to clear of the spiky haired boy's blood and his reflection started to become visible. In it, the Uchiha could see the Cursed Seals transformation fading away and his body returning to normal, but then something else caught his attention.
Cold dread washed over the raven haired genin as his brother's words about the Mangekyou Sharingan echoed inside his head. In his reflection on the water, Sasuke witnessed as his own Sharingan started to change. The three comas had melded into the circle in the center which was now sprouting small spikes around its perimeter, making it look like a six-point star and was still in the process of changing, of evolving.
Naruto felt strange, his descent into the depths of the lake had suddenly halted, leaving him suspended motionlessly in the water.
"Huh… So you finally got yourself killed, Kit…" The Kyuubi's voice boomed into his ear. "Well, I guess it wasn't completely your fault this time." He added.
A pair of sapphire eyes snapped open, finding themselves in absolute darkness. "What do you mean?" He asked, noticing that the water did not rush in when he opened his mouth. The young Jinchuuriki was starting to doubt he was still in the lake.
A short chuckle escaped the Bijuu. "Those bouts of pain… It seems that your body is far too young for the amount of chakra you took from me, so my chakra has been trying to forcibly integrate with your own chakra pathways." The demon explained. "And today it just happened to occur at the worst possible time." He pointed out, his voice carrying an amused tone.
"You knew about this?! Why the hell didn't you say anything?!" Naruto demanded to know as anger started to rise inside of him.
"I was too curious about what would happen, I guess…" Kyuubi said with disinterest.
The blond gritted his teeth at the respond he received. "And now we're both going to die because of it…" The blond commented bitterly.
Another chuckle echoed through the darkness. "Not necessarily." The fox started. "If you don't fight me off, I could help the integration of my chakra with yours. I'm sure that my chakra will be able to heal that nice little wound your friend opened in your chest."
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "You'll help me just like that? Am I supposed to believe you don't want anything in exchange?" He asked, not bothering to hide his distrust.
Full on laughter was the initial answer to the boy's question. "Now you are starting to actually think, Kit." The Bijuu commented. "By helping you, I'm ensuring that you don't drag along on your way to hell… And, like I said, I'm curious to see what will happen next." The fox explained; the amusement thick in his voice.
The Uzumaki remained silent for a few seconds contemplating the proposition. "Fine, you furball… Do your thing." The genin finally decided.
"Very well, Kit…" Kyuubi responded. "But do me and yourself a favor… Don't lose yourself in it. Something tells me that a weak mind like you would not handle guilt very well." The fox added ominously.
"What…?" Naruto tried to ask what the Bijuu meant, but, before he could finish, all the water around him suddenly started to boil and became agitated.
Back on top of the lake, the still stunned Sasuke continued to look dumbly into the water, tears running silently down his cheeks. The Uchiha was snapped out of his trance when the water around him started to become turbulent. The genin searched his surrounding for whatever was causing it and received an answer in the form of the image of a large ethereal-looking fox rising from the depths of the lake. Before the raven haired genin could even think about how to react to what he was seeing, a flash of orange blinded him and, the next thing he knew, a fist suddenly emerged from the water and connected with his chin, sending him flying into the air.
Another flash of light and Sasuke eyes widened as Naruto appeared in front him in mid air. At first glance, the blond seemed to be on fire, but with his evolving Sharingan the Uchiha could see that it was raw chakra covering his body, with strange black marking all throughout. The blue Sharingan had been replaced by a pair of orange, animalistic slit eyes. The raven haired genin barely had enough time to assess his teammate's new appearance when the spiky haired teen delivered a powerful punch to the side of his face, sending Sasuke flying with so much force that his body skipped in the water.
The Uchiha was still in mid flight when, with another flash, the Uzumaki appeared behind him and drove a powerful kick to the teen's gut, sending him airborne yet again. A fourth flash and Naruto intercepted his fellow genin with a downward punch.
Sasuke was thrown around the entire valley like a ragdoll. The young Leaf nin could not even land anywhere as the transformed blond would appear before that and simply kick him or punch him in another direction.
Finally, Naruto directed a powerful punch into his teammate's midsection, sending him crashing down to the side of the cliff right next to the waterfall.
Being completely controlled by savage instincts, the Jinchuuriki pumped out even more chakra before charging forward to deliver the finishing blow, his fist already pulled back.
An image suddenly appeared in the spiky haired teen's mind. It was a scene of an unconscious Sasuke being held against a tree by his own hand, while Sakura pressed her head against his back and cried. "NO!" Naruto shouted in his mind just as his charged fist was about to crush his teammate's skull.
At the last second, the genin was able to redirect his punch to barely miss the Uchiha and instead drive it into the side of the waterfall, creating a large hole in it. The Jinchuuriki panted in exhaustion as the chakra started to fade from his body and he returned to normal.
Weakly, the raven haired genin opened his eyes and looked at the other Leaf shinobi. "Naruto…?" He was able barely able to mutter.
"It's over…" The blond stated. "It's over now…" The Uzumaki said wearily as he pulled his fist out of the rock.
Sasuke continued to look at his teammate and struggling to remain conscious. Suddenly, the Uchiha's eyes widened as he pushed his body forward. "Look out!" He exclaimed before pushing Naruto out of the way.
The spiky haired teen was caught by surprise and all he could do was watch in horror as Sasuke was impaled by a barrage of bone-like projectiles that was meant for him. "Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.
