Naruto POV

I tasted my own blood as it ran down my face and into my mouth. Sakura was motionless on the ground beside me and Sai was at his limit as he also fell to the ground. I struggled to keep standing as I realized that there was no chance we could win. If only Kakashi-sensei were here, but no, he was on a mission right now.

Several days ago we found out that Sasuke had defeated Orochimaru and Itachi. Then why were we still fighting each other? He had accomplished his goal! Why was he trying so desperately to destroy Konoha? Was this all just a game to him? As I looked into his expressionless face he said, "This fight is over." Not even blinking. I tried to get closer to him feeling my legs hurt as I attempt to take a step. I had to get through to him, but he knocked me unconscious.

I woke up in an unfamiliar room. I went out into the hall; all the walls were painted the same color I observed. I was sure I'd never been here before. I was hit in the side when I noticed a girl standing next to me. "Where do you think you're going?" She said. She was such a creep! She had a wide grin on her face as she looked at me holding onto the side she just hit. Then I noticed she was with Sasuke during the fight. "I don't see how Sasuke-sama wants to waste his tome with someone like you." She glared, "Hurry up! Sasuke-sama wants to see you." I can't believe it after all this time; I was finally going to come face to face with Sasuke! This was my chance to reason with him! My goal of saving Sasuke was in my grasp.

We walked into a meeting room of some sort, there was Sasuke, and some comrades of his that were there during the fight. "Sit down." He said blankly as he motioned me to sit in the seat next to him. I sat feeling a little out of place. "Now who agrees with my plan?" He said as his comrades nodded 'yes'. Hold on! What plan? This can't be good.

"Naruto." He motioned for me to stand. "Come with me. I'll put a seal on you." Whoa, hold on SEAL??!! I stepped back worried about what he would do to me. He grabbed my arm and pulled my out of the room, we went into a room that looked pretty normal, a bed and a nightstand.

"Lay down." He motioned the bed. I obeyed. Why? Why was I doing what he told me? Was it because I was afraid that if I didn't he would leave? He lifted my shirt to reveal the seal of the nine-tailed fox on my stomach. He placed his hand on it not losing eye contact with me. His hands were cold.

"Don't worry. It won't hurt." He told me tracing the seal with his fingers. I was scared, his hand started to glow. I couldn't move as I saw another seal appearing on my stomach.

"Sasuke." I whispered, when all of a sudden my head felt fuzzy, I couldn't think straight. Then everything went black.
