Chapter 1: Broken Bonds
Two reddened eyes were staring in disbelief, completely flabbergasted at the amount of charka being channeled. Uchiha Sasuke believed that he was one of the best. That he was better than all the other fools in Kohona, if not better than all, than at very least the dobe before him. But doubt coursed through his body as he witnessed the sight of his friend. Feral whiskers protruding from his face, Red eyes with slit pupils concentrated solely on him. Blood red charka pooling around his body, radiating intense heat. Naruto was an intimidating sight to say the least; Sasuke had no idea that he possessed that kind of power!
They had been fighting in the valley of the end for little under an hour, neither showing any signs of fatigue. Each pushing themselves to the limit, not backing down in the slightest. As soon as his sharingan bloomed a third comma in each eye, he had taken the fight to be over. There was nothing that he couldn't see. He knew what his opponent was going to do at the slightest muscle twitch; every time eye contact was made a genjutsu was activated. These eyes! So much power, so much that he was capable of. But now he wasn't so sure. At this point he wished he didn't have them.
Because with the sharingan, you can see the inner charka system and its flow. And he didn't like what he saw in Naruto. He could see the raw power pulsating in his body. It made it that much more intimidating. His grip tightened on this kunai, sweat running down the small of his back. He was scared but he was ready. He stood ready for Naruto's attack, but it didn't come. Naruto's eyes softened slightly as he stood up straight.
'Is this really Naruto? When did he become so powerful…s...so beast like?'
"Sasuke! I won't let you leave; I promised Sakura-chan that I would bring you back! And I will. I won't let you go off with that snake bastard!"
Sasuke took in deep breaths and calmed down. 'I can handle this...I won't lose to the dead last.' With new found confidence Sasuke stood up straight and sent an intense glare at Naruto.
"That snake bastard is my only chance to get the power I need." Sasuke relaxed and stood up straight and sent an intense glare towards Naruto. "I am and avenger, and I will do anything, make any sacrifice in order to achieve my goal. And if that means going to Orochimaru to do it, then I will."
Rage shown from Naruto's eyes. "HE KILLED THE HOKAGE! How can you trust him, he attacked kohona and tried to destroy it!"He stared back at Sasuke, silently pleading him to wake up and come to his senses.
'I can't allow him to leave, Sakura-Chan would never forgive me…I will keep my promise!'
HAHAHA, I think you should just kill him! But if you're not up to the task kit then ill take the liberty for you.
The Kyuubi laughed behind his prison bars as he witnessed his host's predicament.
The Uchiha are stubborn and proud…he will not admit defeat or go with you.
'You're wrong! It's that bastard snake that filled his head with nonsense…'
I can see there no way to sway your decision kit, that's one thing I've always liked about you.
Naruto's conversation with the Kyuubi went on as Sasuke stood stoically. A bead of sweat ran down Naruto's cheek, past his whiskers and fell to the ground before him. The tension in the air was thick, stifling and made it hard to breath. Naruto glanced at his hands which had grown claws.
'So what is this change? Is this your power?
Hai…it is, and I can give you so much more to help you defeat your friend.
'Give it to me!'
Very well, but remember kit, my charka is dangerous and you can't use it for to long, not at your…current state.
'Fine, what ever I don't care'
Kukukuku.
More of the Kyuubi's chakra flowed into Naruto, pouring off his body like molten lava. His chakra was so great it had radiated far out through the forest to where Kakashi had sensed it miles away, already speeding towards his students with Pakkun leading.
"ENOUGH! No more talk, from this point on we fight!" Sasuke yelled
Sasuke pulled more kunai out of his pouch and hurled them at Naruto. A mighty tail of red charka slammed the projectiles away; with an incredible burst of speed Naruto launched himself forward. Too fast for the Uchiha to react Naruto slammed his fist into is gut, efficiently knocking the wind out of him. He then proceeded to assault his friend with a torrent of punches. Pain shot through Sasuke's body as the punches landed, to fast for him to block or dodge, each punch winding and burning his clothes. Burning his cloths! The charka was that strong, he needed to do something fast before he was beaten to death!
With the final punch Sasuke allowed himself to be thrown back a few feet, then leapt back to put more distance between them. Little good it did. Naruto sped forward and kicked Sasuke into the air and quickly sealed.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"(Shadow Clone Technique)
Two Naruto jumped up towards Sasuke. One grabbed put Sasuke in a headlock from behind and wrapped his legs around Sasukes'. Then the real Naruto began to viciously pummel his stomach as the began there downward decent. Naruto continued to beat Sasuke senseless, at the same time accelerating there fall. Then Naruto kicked off his stomach and sent Sasuke and his clone plummeting downwards when the clone flipped and caused Sasuke to take the brunt of the force.
"AAAHHHHHH!!"Naruto came downwards in full force and slammed into sasuke's back causing a crater to develop in the ground. Naruto grinned, flashing his animalistic fangs only to be greeted with smoke and a log. 'Damn substitution jutsu…where could he have gone?'Naruto searched the area, trying to sense Sasuke's Chakra.
"Dammit Sasuke! Come out!"Naruto shouted and sank down to all fours. Resembling a fox that much more.
'Why does he fight so hard to stop me? Stupid dobe, I'll have to think of something quickly or ill lose this!' Sasuke collected his thoughts at the top of the Shodai statue.
"Naruto!"
Naruto looked up towards Sasuke and started scalling the statue at inhuman speed just as Sasuke ran down the statue, cursed seal fully activated and blood red sharingan spinning full speed. Sasuke sealed rapidly while Naruto ran at him full force.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" (Great Fireball Technique)
Naruto burst through the ball of flame like nothing and engaged Sasuke in fierce taijutsu. Sasuke kneed Naruto in the gut and punched him in the face. As Naruto's Chakra tail flew forward over Sasuke's head he flipped backwards (actually upwards since they're fighting horizontally on a mountain side) onto his hands then feet. He dipped into his weapons pouch and hurled three shuriken and drew a kunai. Naruto deflected the shuriken with his kunai and slashed at Sasuke. Sasuke parried the blow and through a well aimed punch into Naruto's shoulder, effectively dislocating it. Naruto lashed out at Sasuke with a claw of chakra which sent him flying upwards. Naruto ran up the mountain back at Sasuke, punching his shoulder at the same time putting it back into place.
Sasuke pushed chakra out of his feet, sticking him back to the side of the statue. He ducked Naruto's punch and drew wire out of his pouch. Attaching it to a kunai he slammed it into the stone. Ducking another punch Sasuke cut the chakra connecting him to the mountain and arched around Naruto swinging from the wire. When below him he reattached himself to the mountain and ran along it dragging the wire in hand. He anchored it again to the mountain side and attached the other end of the wire to another kunai, as Naruto ran along the mountain with him, and threw it to the river where it embedded itself in a boulder.
He then flipped and swung a kick at Naruto who knocked it away. The Uchiha prodigy then placed his right foot on wire and his left attached to the mountain side. Now standing upright with a wide stance he proceeded to throw well aimed punches at his teammate. Naruto stepped back and looked at his friend.
Sasuke smiled at his own genius. Using the wire he had leveled himself so he was standing straight and anchored, whereas Naruto was forced to fight sideways. Naruto, enraged by the Kyuubi's chakra charged again, only to be beaten back by the sharingan user. He charged again with the same result.
"You really are an idiot Naruto" Sasuke taunted his friend from his position, staring holes into Naruto. The black flames of his cursed seal making him look all that more intimidating.
Hearing Sasuke's voice Naruto snapped out of his beastly rage brought on by his chakra.
He smiled and started sealing.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Three Naruto clones puffed into existence, hidden in the smoke one transformed into a shuriken. When the smoke cleared the Naruto clone ran along side of the mountain at Sasuke where he was beat down again. The cloned disappeared with a puff of smoke and the real Naruto burst out of the side of the mountain and punched Sasuke in the face. As he was falling Naruto threw his shuriken at Sasuke (the clone). Just as the Uchiha was about to catch it transformed back into Naruto.
The clone grabbed Sasuke's arm and threw him upwards, where Naruto flattened Sasuke with a punch to the face. As Sasuke fell he hooked his foot onto the wire and flipped himself on top of it. He then ran up the wire back at Naruto who cut the wire with a kunai. The Uchiha jumped directly at Naruto, staring into his eyes. Naruto yelled and hammered his kunai into the Uchiha's gut, Sasuke hung, skewered on Naruto's kunai, blood flowing from his stomach…dead. Naruto smirked as he tossed the body into the river.
"Get real Sasuke!" Naruto yelled as he blasted his chakra outwards, dispelling the genjutsu.
Sasuke stood sideways on the mountain in front of Naruto. He smiled, and swept Naruto's feet from under him. As Naruto began to fall Sasuke began his lion combo from above. At the second kick Naruto grabbed his leg and slammed him into the statue and fell to the water landing gracefully. Naruto watched as Sasuke emerged from the crater in the statue and jumped down in front of Naruto. Naruto gasped at the sight of his friend. His skin at changed into a light brown color. His raven hair had grown past his shoulders, random spikes jutting out on angles. His eyes had gone completely black other than the red sharingan spinning in the middle. His clawed hand was raised in a fist in front of his face which partially covered the large black star on his nose.
"You see what Orochimaru can do for me? This is why I must go with him." Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he lowered his hand.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT HE CAN DO FOR YOU, I'm going to break every bone in your body and drag you back to Sakura-chan if I have to!" Naruto got into a fighting stance again.
Sasuke smirked and winced. 'Damn! I'll have to end this fast this version of the cursed seal is risky' Sasuke thought back to when he spoke with Sakon.
Flashback
"The cursed seal is very simple. It will grant the wearer the ability to access their real power, by releasing by forcibly pulling out even more charka. When the wearer releases the cursed seal to activate the extra charka, they will lose their free will permanently over time, transforming the user into Orochimaru's slave." Sakon smirked devilishly at Sasuke.
"What does that mean?"
"It means that every time you use the cursed seal, you lose your free will and will become a slave for Orochimaru's ambition!" Sakon laughed. "You would think it's a bad deal though wouldn't you? Don't worry; it's a gradual effect that won't happen until years of using it. You don't even have to use it that much, just when ever you feel the need to" Sakon looked at Sasuke intently.
"There's a second level of the cursed seal too!"
"Sakon you little shit hurry up!" Tayuya scowled impatiently at Sakon from beside Jiroubou.
Sakon brushed off he insult and turned his attention back on Sasuke who was fidgeting nervously… or with excitement, Sakon grinned at this.
"How much powerful is this second level?" Sasuke looked at Sakon inquisitively.
"So much more powerful, you won't believe the things you can accomplish with its aid."
"Hmm…"
Sasuke turned his back and shoved his hands into his pockets. He looked upward and thought out his situation. 'I've already seen what this seal can do. It's amazing really. With this second level I can accomplish so much more, and finally kill my bastard brother.' Sasuke scowled at the thought of Itachi. 'Orochimaru can really help me.'
He looked back at Sakon and the rest of the Sound Four.
"I'll do it!"
End of Flashback
Sasuke stared at Naruto with a stoic face, earning a growl back from his teammate.
"We'll dobe, you've defiantly improved, and I'll give you that."
"Is that supposed to be a complement?"
"Hn… Why are you fighting so hard?"
"Because I promised Sakura-Chan, and because you were my first friend. I won't let you leave! Orochimaru is nothing but bad news"
Sasuke just stood there and looked at Naruto. 'His first friend?' Sasuke wouldn't admit it but Naruto was his first friend too.
"Well it doesn't matter anymore; I'm leaving Kohona and everyone in it!"
Naruto growled "So that's it huh? You're just going to abandon every one who cares about you? All the people who risked their lives to try and save you?"
"Hai" Sasuke's answer was cold and direct. Naruto was shocked.
"Y...Youre j...just going to lea…leave?"
"Hai."Again, just as cold and direct as before.
"Fine. I'll just have to knock some sense into you. Then drag you back to Kohona and knock some more sense into you!"
"Like you could dobe…I've had control over this whole fight, even with you in your 'state' I had the upper hand with my cursed seal! What do you expect now that I'm in level two?" Sasuke smiled and reached into his pocket. "But I'll take this fight seriously, we'll fight as equals." Sasuke pulled out his Haiti-ate and tied it to his forehead.
You better finish this quickly kit, constant exposure to my chakra is damaging.
'If I could I'd have finished this so much earlier! He's beating the crap out of me!'
I'll give you more chakra, but you have to do something for me, I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine
'Stupid fox! Now isn't the time for me to scratch your back!'
The Kyuubi stared blankly from his cell, a drop of sweat on the back of his head.
You really are stupid! I meant ill give you more chakra if you help me. But remember, you won't have much control, with so much demon chakra in you; you will become rather beast like. You may just kill you friend.
'I'll be able to handle it. What do you want? I'm not letting you out if that's what you're asking.'
No, I knew you wouldn't do that anyways. There's someone I want you to find for me later on, but don't worry about it now. I'll collect your…debt…when the time is tight…kukuku.
'Whatever fox just give me the chakra!'
More chakra surged into Naruto's coil system. He let out a deafening roar. Almost all reason left his head as Kyuubi's power took over. A second tail of blood red Chakra forming from behind him. His whisker marks grew thicker and longer, his fangs protruded from his face even more and his claws grew longer and sharper.
Naruto ran forward and slammed Sasuke in his gut. Using his razor sharp claws Naruto began to slash at Sauske's body, cutting him to impair him. First Naruto slashed his biceps, and began to work his way down. He gouged into Sasuke's shoulders, pushing his claws in between his arm, and shoulder bone. Yanking them out he did the same to Sasuke's knees. Forcing his claws into the flesh and then in between the bone. Blood running down Sasuke's body he screamed in agony.
Grinning Naruto kicked Sasuke down the river, then extended his chakra arm and pulled him back. Sasuke watched as the chakra arm burned him and brought him to Naruto's fist. He opened his eyes in shock realizing that he couldn't avoid the hit due to Naruto crippling him with his claws. Naruto slammed his fist into Sasuke's chest, breaking his sphincter and several ribs. Sasuke let out a breath and dropped into the water. Not being able to breathe Sasuke sank deeper into the lake.
'This is it! I'm going to die, by NARUTO'S HAND!' Sasuke desperately tried to swim to the surface, blood flowing from his joints and no air in his lungs. He could see the glow of Naruto's chakra. Intense pain ran through Sasuke's chest as he flayed his arms trying to swim.
'No..I have too much to do to die now!' Sasuke forced more chakra into his cursed seal, hoping that there was more it can offer him after level 2. He smiled as he felt more chakra being pulled out. His already brown skin darkened slightly and he felt a tingle in his shoulder blades. Grinning ear to ear Sasuke looked back up at Naruto's red glow.
Naruto sighed and began to calm down. The adrenaline in his body was causing him to shake. 'I should get Sasuke and take him back to Kohona before he drowns.' Naruto got ready to dive in after him when a brown, clawed hand shot upward. Naruto gasped as Sasuke launched himself out of the water, a set of brown hand like wings propelling him upwards. Sasuke smirked at him, fully healed Sasuke slashed at Naruto with his hand like wing.
Naruto jumped back, shock written plainly across his face. The shock was quickly replaced with anger as he witnessed the monstrous things Orochimaru was capable of. He doubted that Sasuke's current form was even human. Naruto crouched back onto all fours, his two chakra tails twitching behind him angrily. Sasuke jumped forward and snapped a kick into Naruto's gut, sending him flying backwards. He continued his assault with a punch squared into Naruto's jaw and an elbow in the head. Naruto sank into the water slightly, pushing out charka to keep him floating. Sasuke kicked him again and flew backwards, sealing at the same time. Naruto stood up and charged just at the same time Sasuke released his jutsu.
"Katon: Housenka no Jutsu!" (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique)
One of Naruto's tails lashed out and slapped the fire and hidden shuriken away. He then ran at Sasuke again jumping onto his chest. Wrapping his legs around Sasuke's torso he began to punch Sasuke. Sasuke's wings curled around Naruto and curved inwards. Its sharp tips cutting into Naruto's back.
'Damn! Those wings actually work just like hands!'
You've got your work cut out for you that's for sure. Hurry up kit! My chakra will kill you soon.
'What! I don't even feel hurt! Except for the wings clawed into my back'
Of course you don't, you won't feel much pain in this state, that doesn't mean your not being hurt.
"Dammit" Naruto cursed and slammed his claw into Sasuke's chest. More blood squirted outwards. At the Same time Sasuke's wings proceeded to tear at Naruto's back. Naruto pushed off of Sasuke as his back rapidly healed. As he looked he saw that Sasuke was healed to.
FINISH IT!
'I KNOW!'
Naruto lowered his right hand focused his chakra. Swirling blood red and light blue the Rasengan appeared. Pumping as much chakra into the technique Naruto began to spin it faster and faster.
Sasuke smirked as he started sealing for his Chidori. Black chirping lightning appeared in his left hand. Sparking outwards it lashed at the water. Spreading his wings Sasuke flew upwards. At the same time Naruto leaped even higher. The two arched towards each other, arms drawn back. Naruto thrust his Rasengan straight at Sasuke's chest. Inwardly smirking as he watched that Sasuke's hand was still in the same place. His eyes then widened in shock as he watch Sasuke angle his wings to avoid the hit.
As Naruto continued to fall forward Sasuke turned again in the air and slammed his Chidori straight through Naruto's back, impaling him out the chest. 'Ha, that's the second time my Chidori went through his lung. It's over.' Sasuke winced at the pain of his cursed seal and passed out. Both teammates fell from the sky, Sasuke unconscious and Naruto bleeding. Before the Kyuubi cut off his chakra from Naruto he healed the wound. The blood red chakra died away as Naruto to lost consciousness.
