Naruto's POV

It was Sasuke! He was really back! I couldn't believe my ears!

"Where is he, Granny Tsunade? I need to see him right away!" I instantly perked up. I knew the chances of seeing Sasuke here were quite slim, and I didn't care whether he came to kill me. I just wanted to see my old friend, a member of Squad 7, Team Kakashi. Oh god, the idea of my buddy visiting this place filled me with joy.

Tsunade said, "Naruto, stop it. Sasuke's here to kill you for good, not to compromise with you. Remember that, because you guys will fight. To the death."

I gulped, wondering what would it be like to face Sasuke for the second time.

"Hurry, you must chase him off. That little imbecile dares to show his traitorous face here! I would have dealed with him, but he wants you. Meet him near the Hokages' stone faces," the Fifth Hokage informed me.

I sped off without saying good bye to Hinata, knowing that this might be our last chance together.

"Good luck, Naruto-kun! I know it will be hard for you, but please, just try!" Hinata called. I waved back indicating that I would be coming back. For Konaha's sake, for Hinata's sake, and for my future wish to come true.


I arrived just in time before Sasuke declared he would blast this village bit by bit just to seek me out. Bit too extreme for me? I'm flattered. I never thought I worthed that much to him.

"What do you want now? Besides to kill me? Anything you'd want from me as a safekeep? A keychain maybe?" I joked. Sasuke just glared at me. Rude, much?

"Yes, I want you dead, and all the previous attempts backfired, so I will have to dirty my hands with your blood. That is nasty, but I am forced to. Prepare your jutsus and your intelligence, I'm taking you down right now. You are in the way of the Akatsuki's plan. Let me get you riled up first, in case you don't feel like being beat up by your accquaintance," Sasuke sneered at me.

What did he mean "riled up first"? Taunting I can stand, but there were personal things he knew he couldn't talk about. "Personal things" as in my childhood.

"I'm coming Sasuke, whether you like it or not!" I extracted two kunais from my belt, and threw them at my opponent. Sadly, he dodged, due to his Sharingan. He would be able to see through all my tricks! I didn't think of that! Stupid!

"You shouldn't be surprised, Naruto. My Sharingan sees through everything! Don't try to plot something, because it's futile!" Sasuke said.

Touché. He was right.

"I bet you that you can't even give me a scratch, because...you're weak as a pathetic wimp! Hiding behind your friends when you go to battle, makes me SICK. Remember when we were at the Konaha Ninja Academy? Pathetic you were! Couldn't even make a doppelganger! Went crying in the corner when someone insulted you, or left you, because you're an orphan. Look at me, you wimp! I lost my parents, and even more, my whole clan! But, did you see me crying to my heart's content? No. I'm not as emotional as you are, and that's an advantage here! Your parents are gone. Died, and you have a fricking fox inside you! Recall the pain when everyone scattered just at the sight of you," Sasuke taunted me.

Anger boiled inside me and I went into 4-tailed Kyuubi mode.

All I saw was red. Swirling red clouds to be exact. So much hate, and anger were bottled up inside me, and the more Sasuke taunted me, the more tails I felt coming up. Not good AT ALL. Before long, I had the Uchiha by the neck, baring my fangs at him with tears streaming down my face.

"That's it! Feel the wrath and take revenge! Come on now! The Kyuubi will be released soon, and the Biju's power will soon be ours!" Sasuke let out a maniac laugh. He twisted out of my grasp and taunted me even further. I got angrier and angrier. No one had the right to use my past against me!

That was exactly what Sasuke wanted. All along he wanted the Kyuubi's chakra, but I was too arrogant to see that fact. By just simply wanting to see him lowered my guards. I rwent on a rampage and the next thing I saw was none other than, the Kyuubi.


"Hey there Naruto. Getting angry 'cuz of Sasuke? Don't you worry, he has those Uchiha eyes, I hate him even more than you do. Release all your anger, kill the one that is making you feel like this! Kill Sasuke Uchiha! Don't you see? He is trying to kill you. Return the favour!" the Kyuubi immediately said.

Ugh, not this noisy guy again.

"Just shut up, okay? No one wants you here, including me. Oh, and before you proceed in the tempting thing again, I will NOT strip the seal away from your cage. I have faith in myself, my pa sealed you here, inside me for a reason, and I'm not going to undo his hard work," I retorted.

Of course, my pa, the Fourth Hokage, did seal the Kyuubi inside me, in hopes that I would destroy the masked ninja who invaded and terrorized Konoha.

"Come on, you're no fun at all. Satisfy your hunger for murder, and kill that damn Uchiha already! I will grant you all my chakra for eternity! All you have to do is to rip this filthy seal of my-"

"I SAID SHUT UP! You're not gonna change my mind! And I certainity won't peel the seal off this time!" I yelled at my biju.

Lord Fourth's last words echoed in my head. I believe in you... That was right! He did, and I wasn't gonna let him down!


I entered Sage Mode and deflected Sasuke's shuriken. He mocked me even further, and in my head, I was thinking Don't let him get to you. Yeah, that worked out just fine. I saw the Kyuubi again.

"Heh heh, your idea didn't work, right? You still have that anger for Sasuke, and I don't blame you. You were shunned because of-"

"UGH, Shut the hell up!" I cried.

Just then, I saw a blurry figure materialize in front of me. What the hell now?


Here's the late chapter update on Sealed! I know I didn't really update much during the last few months, and I'm really sorry! Trying my best here, and reviews would be very much appreciated!
