Tragedy at the Sand Village ((Naruto Fanfiction!))

"Sasuke!" the cries came all in unison as they saw their comrade fall. Everyone was at his side crying holding onto him not willing to let go besides Naruto who stood there his eyes filled with horror his body shaking with fear, and all the nerve endings in his fingers buzzed. Naruto couldn't believe what had happened, the one person he thought could never be beaten just fell to the hands of one man. Slowly his body turned the sandals making a trail along the sand. Naruto would not let him walk away he would get his revenge on everything he had done.

"Gaara!" he yelled pulling his fist back. "Don't even think your getting away!" Everyone stared and Gaara stopped pivoting so he could face Naruto. What was it about this ninja? He was clumsy and a fool, but yet he looked intimidating as he charged. Sliding a foot back at the split second Gaara lifted his hand catching Naruto's fist in his palm. Naruto growled baring his fangs as he pressed his fist forward. Their eyes were locked as they stared each other down. "Your going down, believe it!" he yelled as he whipped his head back slamming it into Gaara's skull.

Stumbling back Gaara put a hand to his forehead clutching it as his whole body folded over. "How could he…?" a small trickle of blood dripped down the bridge of his nose and then along his eye. "Naruto Umazaki…"

Naruto halted and gulped, Gaara's stare just penetrated right through him. Gaara of the Village Hidden in the Sand, the most powerful shinobi was now out for blood. "This isn't good…"

"Sabakukyu! Sand coffin!" his hands formed a triangular shape the index fingers down and crossed the thumbs touching each other. Then thrusting his left hand out and putting his right finger up so two fingers covered his lips the sand began to rise. The sand curled up Naruto's legs climbing his body up above the ground encasing it in sand.

"Naruto!" Sakura turned to see what was happening and he body froze. I was never strong enough to save them… I always said I would watch their back but look at me now. Still waiting and watching them fall and now die… her hands clutched onto the fabric of Sasuke's shirt the scabs on her knuckles cracking and beginning to bleed. "Naruto don't die!"

"Guhk!" Naruto coughed out blood wriggling around trying to free him self as the sand cut off his air crushing his ribs. "I can free myself easily!"

"If you don't stop yapping I will seal your lips and cut off all your air… but you're hardly worth it." He smirked and Naruto stopped staring as Gaara's fingers curled and then went into a clenched fist. "Sabakusoso! Imploding Sand Funeral!" The sand burst and slammed into Naruto's body seeming to crush it as blood flew out from the holes. "It's quick and painless, I used far too much more force then necessary…"

"N-Naruto… NARUTO!"
