The journey was finally coming to an end Sakura thought as she rounded the corner towards the darkened room of the underground lair. They had been searching for years now and finally her beloved Sasuke was going to be rescued; many attempts had been made before, but due to the curse they were failures. Her training will pay off though she thought and with her newly developed abilities, along with the chakra growth, she will surely be able to withdraw the curse from his body.

"Sasuke!! …. Aaaagg"

"Naruto, what happened?" said a now shivering voiced Sakura. She got at the door and found there were seals surrounding the circular door to Sasuke's chamber. Kakashi was standing near Naruto and examining the seals using his sharingan abilities.

"Those are barrier seals and when Naruto tried going at it with rasengan they shot him back against the wall. They are not like the ones we fought against at the akatsuki hideaway; they seem to be more intricate. We need Negi to try to examine what is nearby to get ride of them," Kakashi plainly declared while holding his favorite new copy of Jiraiya's novel series.

Sakura bent towards Naruto and used her medical techniques over his entire body to restore him to consciousness. He awakened dazed and furious as to his defeat. The last encounter he had with Sasuke was almost his death and now it was very similar. How far must he train he thought to gain Sasuke back to Konoha. Sakura and Kakashi helped him onto his feet, which he aligned with chakra to help keep his balance.

"Sakura-chan can't you use that super strength granny Tsunade taught you to get rid of this wall?" he unthinkingly asked her.

"Naruto!" Kakashi sternly addressed, "you are going to be a higher ninja class soon and this is an S-rank mission; use some common sense and show respect to our hokage. Rasengan failed therefore her strength would not be a match either." At that moment stones and rocks began to fall from the ceiling descending at a dynamic rate.

"This was a trap, Sasuke must not even be in that room and all this time traveling to get here. We need to find a way out now, " Sakura yelled as she slid her right fist into the gloves Tsunade-sama gave her and ran towards the side wall busting a hole straight through the mountain. "We have to go right now, if we get through here we can project ourselves towards the nearest trees and get through."

"I have a better idea, " stated Naruto as he grabbed their hands running through the newly developed hole and as he jumped he pulled all the chakra he could muster to his hands summoning the frog boss.

"Naruto! I hate when you pull me into situations like this," croaked the frog boss as he plummeted into the lower areas of the mountain bouncing off the mountain and trees like a ping-pong ball.

They finally landed securely on the ground; the frog boss left them angered at Naruto once again for impending situations. It was back to the drawing board as to finding Sasuke, but they would succeed one day. They would find him and bring him back to Konoha.
