I do not own Naruto or any of its characters... yet! ¬_¬ (DUN DUN DUN)
The rain patted gently on the sides of his face, his thick hair clung to his face and neck. He looked down at the broken man lying before him and he smiled.
"You won't forget who I am will you?" he spoke in an expressionless tone, the crater the man was lying in was slowly getting filled with water and the weak earth around the edges were slipping in to the water to make a thick sludge. The broken man's jaw was crushed in and he was bleeding excessively from his mouth and throat, as he tried to speak he felt his wind pipe collapse on itself and his eyes widened in fear. The first man wiped the black hair from his face and smiled at the man's fear, his eyes narrowed whilst he held his hair out of his left eye exposing the sharingan. The man squirmed under his gaze.
"Your lucky you know..." he spoke in the same tone as before "not many people I consider worthy enough to see the Mangekyou sharingan before they die... but I think you've earned it. Kakashi." As the words came out of the black haired mans mouth another voice entered the conversation "Don't get cocky yet Sasuke, you haven't beaten me!" the blond jumped down from his hiding place and stood 15 foot from Sasuke... 'He must have measured my range when he was watching my fight with Kakashi... this may be tricky' "Ha, like you could pose a threat to me... dobe, how many have come this time? To try and take me back?" Naruto smiled "Just me and Kakashi this time, everyone else has given up on you. Even Sakura" he smirked. "I can sense someone in the trees... about 20 foot from where you stand now" Sasuke's grin grew larger "Well well well, if it isn't team 8!" his voice just loud enough for them to hear, Naruto looked over his shoulder, Sasuke could see the fear grip him. By the time he turned back Sasuke was in mid strike aiming for vital points "Chidori!"
Naruto felt a smile tug at his lips and side stepped at the last second, leaving Sasuke to trip over a handy tree root. Yamato laughed from the bushes and continued to watch the fight. Naruto sat on top of Sasuke and laughed, "I thought you said 'I wasn't a threat'? hmm?" He laughed again and jumped off landing exactly 15 foot away, Sasuke stood up slowly "You aren't a threat" a smile graced his features "you'd never attack me to do anything more than knock me out" Naruto's eyes narrowed 'He's right...what can I do?' before he could react he saw Sasuke throw him a menacing smile before he turned and ran towards where Hinata, Kiba and Shino hid.
Hinata let out a whimper, something that didn't go unmissed by her team mates, "what's wrong Hinata?" Kiba glanced at her. "He's heading this way" both of her team mate's looked at her Shino's eye brows visible over his glasses 'how is he evading my bugs...' a few seconds later Kiba let out a howl of pain as he was thrown backwards and left standing in his place was Sasuke with one fist stretched out in the direction Kiba was sent, he turned his head slowly, and allowed his eyes roll on to the form of Shino summoning all of his bugs back to his person. "Long time no see" he said as he dashed from one branch to another until he was standing directly behind Shino, who glanced over his shoulder before falling apart into a large pile of bugs.
'Substitution... looks like this gang has grown up...' His trail of thought was cut short by Shino's arm bursting through his chest. Shino visibly cringed as Sasuke looked over his shoulder showing him the sharingan before disappearing into water "water clone, Hinata watch out! I don't know where he's gone" Hinata nodded and re-activated her bloodline trait. what she saw made her sigh with relief 'Naruto-kun... we'll be ok now' for a second she relaxed her stance and half a second later Sasuke was standing in front of her, before her reflexes had time to react she heard her ribs crack, and her lungs filled with liquid. Hinata began to cough violently, thick blood exploded from her mouth making Sasuke's grin to widen further "You thought Naruto could save you?" he spoke softly his face moving closer to hers "Hn, Naruto couldn't save me... why would thing's be different with you?" he pulled his head away, allowing Hinata to release the breath she hadn't realised she was holding.
"I couldn't save you, because you didn't want to be saved" The voice came from surprisingly close by, Naruto stood with his hand clutching Sasuke's cloak a smirk on his face. As Naruto delivered a blow to Sasuke's head causing him to go limp, Hinata's features relaxed and she allowed the, oh so familiar darkness to consume her. Shino adjusted his glasses as he approached Naruto "It would appear our mission has been a success, Thank you for your assistance. Naruto" Yamato stood beneath the tree with a battered Kakashi slung over his shoulder, Naruto Slung Sasuke over his shoulder in a similar fashion whilst Shino held some smelling salts under Hinata's nose for the fifth time today, allowing her to regain consciousness. A few minutes later Sasuke was tied up whilst Kakashi and Kiba were waking up, both with very bad headaches.
