Sasuke looked from Naruto to Sakura, then back to Naruto again. "You idiots don't know when to quit, do you?" he snapped coldly. Naruto just smiled at the raven.
"You'll thank us for not quitting when we've dragged your sorry ass back to Kohona!" Sakura nodded in agreement. "Not likely. I'm a completely different person now." He said.
"You don't seem so different. You still care about your friends and Kohona, I know you do." Naruto said confidently. "I don't give a shit about Kohona and your sadly mistaken if I still regard the likes of you as a friend." Sasuke spat. Naruto stepped closer to Sasuke. "So…I mean nothing to you huh? Then how come you tried to kill me and couldn't? That's because you care." Naruto said. The blonde watched as Sasuke unsheathed his sword and glared at them threateningly. "Trying to kill me again Sasuke? You can't. You couldn't kill any of your friends." Sasuke moved with lightning speed to Sakura and stabbed her roughly. With a grin, Sasuke pulled the sword out of Sakura, the blade now tainted crimson. Naruto screamed as Sakura fell and he ran to her side. "I'm s-sorry Sakura! I was wrong…I n-never thought h-he would…" Sakura smiled at him, trying not to show her pain.
"I know…" she replied.
"Y-you can heal yourself, right?"
"I can try…" she said. Everything began swimming out of view and Naruto's desperate attempts to wake her were unheard. Naruto then turned his tear filled eyes to Sasuke. "You bastard! You killed Sakura!" he screamed. Sasuke merely shrugged.
"I told you already, uzumaki, I'm stronger now. I don't have stupid emotions to hold me back." Sasuke smirked again and kicked Sakura's still body. "See?" Naruto looked at Sakura, praying this was some kind of twisted dream. "Sa-Sasuke…you killed Sakura…don't you feel anything?" Sasuke ignored this question and sighed, looking at the blood on his sword. "Damn. This is the third time today your little friends have dirtied my sword with their blood. It's getting quite annoying to clean…" he said. Naruto paled; a team from Kohona had been on a mission and a last-minute word on where Sasuke was came out and the team split up. Could Sasuke have ambushed his other friends first? "Y-you what did you do?" Naruto asked, scared of the answer. Sasuke's smirk widened. "I had a run in with hyuuga and the other annoying one."
"You mean Shikamaru and Neji? What the hell did you do bastard!" Naruto shouted.
"I killed the hyuuga and left the other one as good as dead." He said smoothly. Naruto gasped. "You d-didn't!" Naruto jumped to his feet, thought of his three friends flashing though his head. "Please…tell me you didn't kill them!" Naruto pleaded. Sasuke smirked. "Get this, I killed them. Still want to drag me back to Kohona?" he said smugly. But to the ravens surprise Naruto nodded, indicating he did want to still bring Sasuke back. "Just how dense are you uzumaki?" he growled.
"I promised Sakura…" he whispered. Sasuke put his sword back and pulled something from his robes. He then grabbed Naruto with one hand and slammed him into the ground, pinning him down by pushing one knee on his chest. Sasuke put something around the blonde's neck and tied a chain to it. When he was finished, he took his weight off Naruto and walked forward, tugging the chain roughly causing Naruto to fall forward. "Get this thing the fuck off me! I'm not a dog, Sasuke!" Naruto shouted angrily, pulling away from Sasuke. The raven stared at him and tugged the chain again.
"Yes you are. You're my dog." Sasuke replied. Naruto ignored him and carried on pulling at the collar. "I am quite capable of dragging you the whole way to the sound village, uzumaki. It would probably be less painful and quicker if you walked." He hissed. Naruto jumped up and pulled against Sasuke, trying to get back to Sakura. Naruto noticed she was still breathing, just. "Sasuke! She's still breathing! Sakura, she's still alive!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke pulled him away from Sakura. "Were leaving her." Sasuke said. Another tug of the chain only made Naruto move to rasengan his way out of the chains. "Don't even think about it. Otherwise I will kill Sakura and everyone else." He said swiftly. Sasuke dragged Naruto away from his dying friend and towards the sound village.
