I've gotta say, this is by far the most popular story I've ever wrote so far...(two awesome people gave me some good reviews!) So i guess I shouldn't keep you waiting so ON WITH THE STORY!

AN Post edit: This chapter will be a little shorter, but I will make up for it!

Chapter 2: Nightmares

Midnight. Darkest part of every day. After a few hours of processing the day's events he had laid down and gone to sleep.

**Naruto Dream**

Naruto and Jiraiya were walking along, they were halfway to Konoha when they decided to camp out at and eat before going to bed for the evening. Yeah, sure it took 3 days to get him from Suna, but with the pace they were going, it would be a week before they got back. Kami knows that Pervy Sage loved his research... When the two had finished eating, Jiraiya then told Naruto to set up camp while he went to the nearby town to do said "Research". At that moment, the Journey back home took a tragic turn. All Naruto heard was the all too familiar sound of his Friend-turned-traitor's Chidori, Only to turn around to see Jiraiya collapse. Taking the Chidori to the heart. Rage and sadness blinded him.

**End Dream**

Naruto's head shot open as he woke up in a cold sweat. This was the 6th Nightmare since that day. And he couldn't do anything about it. At least that he could think of. Seconds Later, Naruto found himself in his mindscape, staring at the Kyuubi no Kitsune.

"What do you want?" the fox growled. "I don't have time for your human issues."

"I want to ask you something, and I need an answer."

The fox growled even more. "If it will get you out of my Fur, then fine. What is the problem?" The fox asked, lowering his head to the base of the gate.

"I know you can heal me physically... But what about mentally? Or is that out of your power?"

"This Is about that day that you almost let me free, Isn't it?" The fox sighed.

Naruto nods, letting the Kyuubi know to continue with his answer. If he even really had one...

"I will help you with this, as if I don't, You're probably not going to sleep ever. Which will effect your performance in combat which may end up killing us both. So listen closely." the Kyuubi went on.

"Here is what you need to do. Go meditate, and I will walk you through the rest. But try and get some more sleep first. I'll contact you in a few hours, so that we can continue."

"Hai" Naruto responds before he leaves the mindscape. Seconds later he lays back down to sleep.

***Meanwhile with Sakura***

Sakura twits, tosses in turns In her bed. Dreams replay in the day that Sasuke left

**Dream**

Sasuke sat on the bench, waiting for Sakura. As she approached, Sasuke stood up and faced her.

The two were standing a few feet apart. Sakura was first to speak.

"Sasuke-Kun,why did you call me here?"

"I'm leaving. This village is helping me get nowhere. I'm no closer to killing my brother. He almost killed me. I'm not strong enough. Only Orochimaru can help me get stronger now."

"Sasuke-"

"Don't bother trying to come after me." He said as delivered a blow to Sakura's neck, Knocking her unconscious. He did however have the respect and decency to put Sakura on the bench he was sitting on before he disappeared for the very Last time.

**End Dream**

Sakura's eyes shot open as he dream had finished. "It may not have been a nightmare, but I still hate that dream." The Pinkette thought to herself.

She laid back down, and let sleep capture herself.

***A Few Hours Later at The Training Grounds With Naruto***

Naruto had gotten up after getting some more sleep, gotten ready for the day and headed to the training grounds where he was sitting in the lotus position meditating.

**In the Mindscape with the Kyuubi**

"Fox I'm here. Just like you instructed."

"Good. AND STOP CALLING ME FOX! My name Is Kurama!" He growled.
"Now, I need you to continue meditating, when you see the visions of that day, I will instruct you on what to do next." The fox said.

Naruto continued to meditate. Kurama noticed that Naruto's breathing hitched. In Naruto's mind, he saw himself being attacked by the fox as if he were in Sasuke's position during the attack.

Naruto started to panic when Kurama spoke up.

"No, don't break. Watch through to the end. This I your road to acceptance. Don't fear what might've been. Accept what happened."

While Kurama was explaining, Naruto's mind was wild as every view of that attack played through his mind. No matter how many times Naruto wanted to stop, he kept pushing through. He reached the end of the visions of the attack and he fell through what seemed like a wall. And at the end of that, an empty mind, with whatever happy memories he had.

Naruto stood up from his meditative position and looked at Kurama.

"Did it work?"

"Close your eyes a few seconds, then tell me if you still see the visions."

Naruto did as instructed and then responded with, "I don't see any visions. Thank you."

"Hey Kit, im going to let you know that you will still have nightmares on occasion, but the frequency of them should be lower now." Kurama said.

"Now go. Continue on your way. I believe you have an event in about 3 hours. If my memory serves me right." Kurama said.

**leave mindscape**
