PROLOGUE

Sasuke hated fighting demons about as much as he hated Orochimaru and Itatchi. Thankfully, those two were dead- with the help of Naruto. Unfortunately, the wolf demon in front of him was alive and kicking.

'Dammit,' he swore as his feet once again slipped on the muddy grass. He hissed in pain as the demon took the opportunity to grab his shoulder in fierce, bloody jaws. 'If Naruto were here, this wouldn't be as much of a problem.

Yes, the Uchiha had reluctantly agreed that he needed Naruto after the boy had helped him eliminate his two greatest enemies. Of course, Sasuke had never told him as much. 'But now,' he reflected, driving a spare kunai through the demon's shoulder, 'isn't the time to be thinking of him.

He cursed once more as he finally realized he could not beat this creature. Its regeneration skills were too fast.

He nodded decidedly. He would have to use that technique. It was much like what the fourth had used to seal the demon inside Naruto, except it was modified to make the user the vessel. He grimaced as he realized these consequences, but it was his last chance. It was either this, or death.

He quickly formed the hand seals. He had already prepared a written seal on a scroll that, with a lot of chakra applied, would seal the demon into his body. Hopefully.

He unveiled the scroll, wetting with his blood and chakra to activate it. The seal lit up and disappeared with a flash to appear around the lunging demon, sucking him in. The demon emitted one final shriek before it was absorbed into the seal; which spiraled before burying itself into Sasuke's stomach.

His yell mixed with the demon's shriek and he fell into a disturbed, fitful darkness, the wolf's glowing eyes the only source of light in his darkened mind.
