Surprising Twists

a Naruto Fanfiction

by: Dark Daisuke

The two ninja stared at each other, breathing heavily and dripping blood from various extremities due to various cuts and burns. Neither would back down, they knew, but they also knew that they were on equal ground though neither would admit it. Behind them the water in the river flowed briskly, as if to escape from the horrendous duel between the former teammates. The two faces carved out of stone looked down on the two teenagers, seemingly showing their displeasure at the rift formed between the ones who shared a similar yet so very different past.

The blond-haired kid stared back, tears in his eyes as part of him knew he could not bring his friend back, though he was completely committed to the promise he'd made his pink-haired teammate. He closed his eyes out of regret over what he was going to do next. "Fine... you've left me with no choice. I have to use THAT."

"Feh... relying on your tenant so quickly? Here I thought you'd have improved... you're still the worthless last-place piece of trash from the Academy!" the raven-haired kid taunted, his duck-like locks waving from side to side as he shook his head in mock-disappointment.

"You'd better watch what you say! I don't expect you to forgive me, but know that this had to be done..." Blondie replied, quickly forming seals before swiping blood from a fresh wound onto his thumb and thrusting it onto the ground. "Summoning Jutsu!!!" A large billow of smoke enveloped the combatants that took its time settling.

Raven initially smirked as no sound was made, assuming that the summon had failed, but it quickly switched to a frown as words he never expected were shouted from the cloud, followed by the biggest look of horror ever to cross his face at the next scream, one that sounded to him as the gates of Hell opening up to swallow him whole.

"GO GET 'IM, GIRLS!!!"

"SASUKE-KUUUUUUN!!!"

"... I hate you, Naruto..." Sasuke grumbled as he hung from his arms and legs, which had been tied to a pole in a classic hog-tie fashion.

"I know! At least you understand where true power comes from!" Naruto shouted behind him, chuckling at the fangirls who considered themselves lucky enough to carry Sasuke back to Konoha.

"'Friendship', right? What garbage..." Sasuke spat back, only to be replied by a chuckle.

"Nope! The Fangirl-Horde!"

(AN: Yeah, crack-fic. So sue me. XP Anyway, I had fun writing it, and it was nice since I've been in a bit of a rut with my writing lately.)
