Chapter 1
"Get up, idiot." Naruto didn't stir, he couldn't move, as if somebody was sitting on him. He really felt weak and felt like as if he thought to move, he would not be able to do anyway.
'That fucking snake bastard really did a number on me. When I get my hands on him…'
"Don't think about it, sad little puny human. Your body has met its limit and your soul has too, but your brain and heart has not met their limits yet. Too bad they belong to an idiot." Naruto wished he could move, he would punch whoever said that shit to him.
"Stupid fucker." Naruto grunted to nobody. "Where are you, where's this voice coming from?"
Naruto's eyes, another thing working, scanned the air with his head moving but could not find a damn thing. "Who are you?! What do you want?!"
"Who I am to you isn't important, fool but I will tell you what is. You are to find you're simple ass out of this forest, so get up!! Get up now, if you want to live." The voice edged dangerously to Naruto's ears as he could he the voice plain as day. Like it was here.
"Fine, but what am I doing here?"
"What's that supposed to mean? Don't you remember Orochimaru knocking you out with the Five Elements Seal Jutsu? Thus, knocking your weak ass into oblivion."
"If I wasn't weak…" Naruto started.
The voice scoffed. "Now it's not time to fight, it's time to get back to your team."
Naruto realized that he was strayed from the path of them. "Sakura, Sasuke."
"Get up, dumb, that's all it takes. Get up." The voice growled, ignoring that the boy knows knew why he had to get up.
Naruto struggled up to his feet with some strength. "Are-Are they still under attack?"
"No, but you must get to your teammates for they could still be under control. There is a fowl chakra sense in the air, something truly venomous. Get there to help them, now. Or so much for your honor…" The voice trailed off with some disgust. "Can't get up, weakling?"
Naruto grunted, not knowing that the spiteful words of this… this voice was mentoring him and helping him get up.
"Where am I exactly?" Naruto pondered to himself and the voice.
"You are a few miles away from them. Such a weak move such as that attack the snake bastard pulled threw your weak body like a rag doll through a few twenty tree." The voice was mixed with amusement and disgust. The blonde was far from being amused about being called a rag doll.
"Sakura, Sasuke, please be okay…" Naruto muttered as he raced through the forest of death; jumping in from tree branch to tree branch, jumping of tree bark to get to them. 'My honor would fall if you guys were dead.'
Soon, the voice came to view again, ringing in Naruto's ears. "Okay, you are close, they are down there, across that tree branch's view." Naruto blinked and found them, fighting off some weird people. Sasuke stood but something didn't seem right when Naruto saw purple chakra swirl around Sasuke. "Chakra isn't suppose to purple… or in sight… Something's wrong with Sasuke."
"That is the evil chakra I speak of. Help them out by stopping the boy. This is Orochimaru's doing." Naruto soon growled.
"That fucking snake bastard did something to my teammate? Sasuke, I'm coming."
Naruto jumped down the tree branch and hollered. "Sasuke, stop!!"
Sakura, with a half of her left eyelid up, turned to Naruto. "Naruto!!" As did everybody else, even the enemies: three Sound village ninjas.
"Sakura. What's wrong with Sasuke?"
"I don't know, he woke up like this…" Sakura answer, just as confused and worried like Naruto.
"Sakura…" Sasuke spoke stoically to her. "They did this to you, huh?"
"You guys were attacked by these freaks?!" Naruto said, also growling, forgetting that he was to subdue Sasuke. Naruto stood, adjacent to Sasuke. "Sasuke, let me handle at least one of this guys."
Sakura looked as Naruto started radiating with some new chakra, blue as ever. "Naruto…" She whispered.
Sasuke nodded wordlessly. "I already have somebody in my site." Naruto watched as the chakra radiated off the Uchiha.
One of the Sound ninja snarled to the three. "Why are you two so cocky? I'll take you both." He then ran at the three as he had his palms out. One tried calling him back. "Wait, Zaku, no!"
Zaku couldn't hear his teammate anymore, as he broke the sound area. "Zankuuha!!"
The blast shinned a light that would cut anybody off and the blast wisped through the forest. He grinned maliciously. "Yeah!" He singed. "Now, where are their broken bodies?"
"What bodies?" Naruto's voice ringed out as Zaku looked to see the pesky Leaf Ninja scum alive and well.
The Sound ninja snarled. "Damn, I missed. Well, I won't miss this-"
He stopped as he felt a pressure on his two arms and found that the black haired ninja from Konohagakure was behind him, gripping on his two arms very tightly.
The sound ninja found him in a hold he could not get himself out and killer intent that rivaled Orochimaru's. Sasuke grinned darkly. Naruto and Sakura knew that this was not the Sasuke they dealt with all the time. Naruto looked at him incredibly and Sakura looked like she was going to puke. The ninja felt his arms being torn out of his sockets and himself pitch a scream so painful. His teammates and the rest in the background, which included Team 8 & Team Gai, cringed as he screamed 'mercy' and soon, they watched the sound ninja being thrown to the floor.
Sakura jumped down as she tried calming down Sasuke. "Sasuke!! No more, please, no more!
Naruto and the rest watched as Sakura calmed Sasuke down and the purple power disappearing. Naruto sighed in gratitude but was still slightly jealous. 'Sakura likes him too much, she'll never like me like that.'
"Sasuke is finally subdued…" Naruto looked at the other Sound ninjas and pulled out a kunai. "Hey! Give us your Earth Scroll, now or you'll turn out like your teammate."
The seemingly appointed leader complied with Naruto's demand and grabbed his teammate to leave. "Here is the Earth scroll, Leaf scrum." And soon raced through the trees, disappearing from the spot, with Zaku, their pained teammate.

Sakura and Naruto looked at each other as Sasuke fell to asleep a few hours since the attack on them. Naruto sat next to her but started at the ground they sat on.
"We need to get to the tower. We got all we need and now, we need to hurry. We can't survive out here for long." Sakura was shocked. Naruto would never be so silent… so serious about this and to not want to fight anymore?
Sakura got over her surprise and nodded. "We will head out with Sasuke early in morning, Naruto. You can go to sleep first now, you know? It's been a busy day for you."
Naruto shook his head. "No, it hasn't. As soon as that snake guy attacked us, I blacked out, so I already okay, you need more sleep than me Sakura. Just think of it as a reward for being the one taking control of Team 7 today." He winked at her, which he was pleased to see that he got a little blush out of her.
"Okay… but don't stay up too late, Naruto. You need sleep too. You are important to this team too…" She trailed off as she felt the Sandman come and claim her.
Naruto watched her and Sasuke slept in the tree branch for a few minutes until he looked up to the blackened skies. "I'm important to this team, eh?"
He rested head near Sakura's and looked up to the skies. He trailed off with a question. "Who was that voice…?"
And fell asleep with Team 7 for once.

End of chapter 1
A/N: I got the plot starting idea from "Bloodline" by SOC Puppet thought it will diverge from it, far. This chapter goes out to him, for his story giving me this idea. While this is about 3 or 4 pages long, it's more compact than any of my stories and I can easily start out from here and continue than most of my stories. So yeah, this story is soul for the purpose of me deleting a story. It should be another new story as I delete one.
Keep your ears and eyes out for me and please, just review!! Don't just story alert it or favorite it first, I want to hear your opinion, people!! How am I going to be an author for real if I can't read or see your opinions? Don't be shy; I can take good or bad reviews. Critics are allowed; a healthy critic's review is welcome, I need it anyway. Just no flames and you know what I mean by flames, I mean this:
"OMG, U SUC. TIS STORI SUC AZZ, U SHOULDA QUIT ASS A WRITER!! 111111"
Or: "FUC YOU, TIS IS SUPER LAME-O, LOL, XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!! 111111 I COULDA WRITE BETTA THAN U!!"
In which, some of these flamers don't even know how to write in English, nor some form of slang that I can understand. You have ever heard of these people attempt to write a story? It's like a third grader writing backward, attempt to write in French. If you can't write, more than likely you can't read on a level like the more plot-detailed authors lurking around on this site and me. This don't goes to hurt the illiterate either; you guys have my sympathy but those who could get an education and decides not to, it's all going to hurt you in the end, trust me.
Well, anyway, the second chapter should come out shortly (if I'm not trying to enjoy my summer vacation!), so keep your eye open. Now go to that "Submit Review" and give me all your opinions.
Ciao!!
