Well here is chapter two an Sakura makes her first appearance yay!

Anyways enjoy!

A few hours had passed and Naruto awoke with a huge headache.

"Ugh... Why do I feel like I got drop kicked by a horse..." he voiced out to no one in particular, it was only then that he realized that he was in...

"GAHH, NO, I'M IN JAIL AGAIN!?" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs, not really caring about his surroundings.

"Hey Uzumaki, keep it down over there! I'm trying to get some sleep damn it!" yelled the knight who was guarding the jail.

"Yeah, yeah whatever you old geezer!"

"What did you say!?"

"I said I hope I don't get a seizure!"

"Oh, well yeah that would be bad, anyways shut up so I can get some sleep!"

Naruto just grunted and looked around, there had to be some way out of thi—

"You should really listen to the man you know," came the voice of someone he had never heard of before, judging from the location he figured it was another inmate in the cell to his left.

"Yeah whatever... I don't really care what any of these knights say in the first place," Naruto replied, unsure as to why he was even talking to this stranger in the first place.

"I take it you don't particularly like the knights then?" the stranger asked.

"It's not so much the knights but more the whole em— wait a second! Who are you anyway and why am I even telling you anything!?" Naruto asked, annoyed that he was so easily opening up to someone he has never met before.

"Hm oh I'm no one special, but I suppose you can call me Sai" he answered.

Naruto couldn't really tell if he was serious or not. 'Sai? That's it? No last name?'

"Well, "Sai", I suppose you wouldn't mind telling me how long I have been in here huh?" Naruto asked hoping to find a bit more out about his predicament.

"They dropped you off about 3 hours ago, you were pretty knocked out too, not even the knights slapping you in the face a bunch of times would wake you up," Sai said with a bit of amusement.

"WHAT? Why were they slapping me wha—" before he could finish the hallway door opened and a heavily armored man walked in with bandages on his arm and half of his face.

'Commandant Danzo? What could he be doing here?' Naruto thought upon seeing him enter, he almost thought he was there for him 'Had I done something that bad?' but his thoughts were silenced as he walked past his cell and went straight to where Sai was.

Naruto couldn't really hear what was being said, but he knew that he was talking to Sai the only question is why.

A few moments later Sai's cell door opened and Danzo ordered him to follow him out as they were leaving Sai stopped right in front of Naruto.

"The statue on the east wing has a way out, the sleeping guard has a key to your cell, I'd suggest getting out as soon as you can," Sai stated with a smile that Naruto for the life of him could not tell if it was fake or real, either way he accepted the information.

"Thanks I guess."

Sai just nodded and followed Danzo out leaving Naruto to his thoughts.

"Yes I'm almost certain that they are behind it, and if that's true then they will almost certainly be sending someone after Sasuke," a pink haired girl heard from around the corner.

'What? Someone is after Sasuke-kun? He could be hurt... or worse KILLED! I have to tell him somehow, but how can I get to him...?' she worried in her mind.

"Ah, Lady Sakura, there you are we have looked everywhere for you," a royal knight said, this knight sporting the red and black colored armor implying that this was a royal guard of the commandant.

"Yes, Lady Sakura, please come with us."

Indeed this was Lady Sakura Haruno Senju, only daughter of the Queen Tsunade Senju and princess of the kingdom, almost anyone from the castle to notice her thanks to her beautiful pink hair, it was truly a marvel to look at and women everywhere were envious of it.

"Um but... I was not requested to go anywhere, should I not have this time to myself?" she asked. She could definitely tell something was up. The royal guard isn't used unless it is something urgent and has to do with Danzo... Danzo, oh how she loathed that man, she has seen him at work and seen his evil ways of gaining power; yes, Danzo was someone who would want for Lady Sakura to simply... disappear, thus allowing him more free rein and power.

"Lady Sakura, don't make this hard," the knight said, and four more knights showed up all pulling out their swords.

This indeed frightened Sakura, oh don't get the wrong idea, she is not by any means weak, no, in fact she is one of the most prominent fighters in the great city of Konoha.

But the fact that she is wearing a dress that is definitely not suited for combat and that she doesn't have a weapon, all while being against four royal guards with swords well... You can see where the problem lies.

"Why are you pulling your swords on me? I will let the council hear about this!" she yelled, not really sure what to do in this situation.

"Danzo requested we take you to him... By any means necessary!" one knight yelled as he charged at her, he wouldn't try to kill her, oh no, knocking her out was what he intended to do.

'He's coming, quick Sakura think… there has to be a way...OH!' Sakura quickly got an idea after remembering some of her chakra control classes Tsunade had her take alongside her swordsmanship classes in order for her protection.

"HOLY LIGHT"Sakura screamed focusing chakra into her palms until it got bright and slamming it to the ground sending a bright light in all direction, everyone but Sakura had their eyes wide not knowing what was going to happen and this blinded them.

'Good with them unable to see I can run from here!' she thought.

And run away she did.

Naruto had been thinking about what Sai said for a few minutes before the hall door opened once more.

"Iruka..." Naruto said after seeing who it was who walked in.

Iruka walked in and walked past the sleeping guard in his way in 'lazy bastard' he thought to himself.

Iruka stopped right in front of Naruto and sighed, "Naruto-kun, why do you always create such a mess?" he asked.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault this time, honest! That bastard had what was coming to him—" Naruto wasn't able to finish as Iruka cut him off.

"Naruto-kun! Whatever reason you think you have had to assault a knight is not good en—" but this time Naruto cut him off.

"Kurama... they took Kurama!" Naruto yelled, "You really expect me to sit there and let him get taken, he is important to me Iruka!" Naruto said louder and getting angrier by the second.

Iruka allowed him to continue, he knew of Naruto's close bond to Kurama; Kurama wasn't just some companion for Naruto, no, he was in fact a fox! Yes, that's right, a bright orange fox that was Naruto's partner, for as long as Iruka could remember Naruto and Kurama had been at each other's side always helping each other.

"I don't understand Naruto-kun, how did they take Kurama? From what I remember, you two made an awesome team, and Kurama, though being a fox, is skilled with a dagger," Iruka stated, wondering how he got taken in the first place.

"It's those knights, damn it, I swear this is the reason I left them in the first place, they are so corrupt. Can you believe that they actually held a family at hostage forcing us to surrender!? That's a trashy thing to do and the knights are always doing things like this!" Naruto said as loud as he could without waking the sleeping guard.

"I see... I'm sorry something like this happened, but you have to understand not all knights are like them," Iruka said hoping Naruto would calm down.

Naruto sighed, "I know... It's just... this is the exact reason I couldn't stay a knight, stuff like that made me sick."

Iruka sighed, feeling sympathetic; he knew how much he cared for Kurama.

"Naruto... Do you know where they took him?" he asked

"Yeah... I think they said the forest of death outside of Konoha. Why?" Naruto asked confused

"I'm going to get you out of here. Do you know if that guard has the keys on him, I don't want to risk waking him if I'm not sure," Iruka asked Naruto.

Naruto remembered Sai's words, "Yes, he does have them."

"Alright then... hold on a second..." Iruka said as he slowly walked toward the sleeping guard.

A few moments later Iruka returned to Naruto, keys in hand.

"Here you go, listen on your way out, try not to cause a huge scene, okay?" Iruka asked.

"No promises but I'll try, hehe," Naruto said scratching the back of his head then opened the door, Naruto then made his way over to where his equipment and swords were stashed.

"By the way... thanks Iruka, I owe you more than you know for this one," Naruto said as Iruka made his way to the door.

"Don't worry about it, you just make sure you get Kurama back," Iruka said as he left the jail.

Naruto waited a few minutes before he grabbed his stuff and walked out of the door.

"Wait for me Kurama! I'll definitely get to you!" Naruto said as he left with one last thought in his mind.

'Why are the knights still like this? You said you would change everything from the inside, yet nothing changed... right... Sasuke?' and Naruto was out of the prison before you knew it.

Well this was mostly just talking but don't worry I will have some action coming soon enough. I'm actually looking forward to writing that since I haven't written a fighting scene yet.

Anyways I'll try to get the next chapter out soon!
