Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did NaruHina would be canon already and Sasuke wouldn't be an overpowered jerkoff. ... Anyways, lets get on with the story. Please Review!

I would also like to thank those of you who did review. I means a lot. I have tried to get it space more and fix other certain things, but they won't stay put, so...

Rage

Chapter 2

Sasuke stares at the group of ninja standing in front of him. Several seconds had already passed and still, he got no response. 'What the hell is going on? Aren't they trying to capture me? Does this have anything to due with the Dobe? Well, if they aren't going to answer me, I'll find out myself.' Turning back to his brother and Naruto, Sasuke caught a glimpse of Itachi activating the Tsukiyomi on Naruto. What happened next was something Sasuke was not expecting.

Instead of Naruto falling to the ground either unconscious or in great pain, Itachi moaned in fear. 'T-tsukiyomi failed. Not only did it fail, he turned it back on me' Itachi thought. He shivered as he thought about what the blond-haired jinchuriki had done to him.

Flashback

Itachi was staring up at Naruto, who was being restrained. "For the next 72 hours" Itachi started "you will be tortured by""Shut up" Naruto growled "How about I torture you. What do you think of that?!" And with that Itachi suddenly found himself being restrained. 'How did he do this?' he thought 'no one should be able to reverse Tsukiyomi.' Looking up at Naruto, Itachi found not a boy, but a very large nine-tailed fox. 'W-what is that? Is that the…' "Do you like what I can do I my mind Itachi?" Naruto interrupted. "I can that the appearance of anything I want. Like the bastard sealed inside of me." "And what do you plan to do Naruto-kun? Are you going to tickle me to death with those tails?" Itachi asked smugly. "No Itachi. I am going to do far more than that."

In an instant one of the tails pierced Itachi's stomach. Another one found its was into his shoulder, followed by a second to his other shoulder. Two more sought out his kneecaps. The remaining tails wrapped around each of Itachi's limbs and began to pull. Itachi screamed in excruciating pain as each one was yanked off. He watched as Naruto approached him and drove a clawed hand into hi chest and pull out his still beating heart. The young man showed it to Itachi before whispering into his ear "71 hours, 59 minuets and 59 seconds to go" before the process began to repeat itself.

Flashback end

"Now. You are going to tell me where the Akatsuki base is. Or do I have to do that to you in the real world?" Naruto asked the elder Uchiha. Shakily, Itachi looked into the blonds and spoke "A-amegakure. The main base is in Amegakure." Naruto scanned his eyes, looking for deception. Finding none, he tossed Itachi off to the side and began to run toward the focus of his intense rage. 'I WILL DESTROY THEM ALL!' was the thought that Naruto had running through his mind like a mantra.

Kakashi looked at his wayward student and back to the rest of the group. "You all go after Naruto. I'll stay here and take care of this." Everyone but Sakura nodded and took off after said blond. "Sakura, I gave you an order. Now follow it." Sakura looked at Kakashi "Kakashi-sensei, you are going to need some help because here come's Itachi's partner." The cycloptic jonin nodded in agreement. He looked back at Sasuke "well, are you going to kill your brother or not?" he readied a kunai, incase that he tried to go after Naruto. Sasuke realized that his brother was indeed still in the room.

Walking over to his clan's killer, Sasuke pulled out the Kusanagi. He raised it and swung down but stopped just short of Itachi's neck. "Why did you stop foolish little brother?" he inquired. "Don't tell me you can't go through with it. If that is the reason, then your hatred is still not strong enou…" Kakashi and Sakura looked on as the head of Uchiha Itachi rolled across the ground. "I have avenged my clan now" was all Sasuke said to the now lifeless body. Turning to his old sensei, Sasuke allowed an irritated look to set itself upon his face. "Will one of you please tell me what the hell is up with the dobe?" The one question that really mattered at the moment and no one had answered him.

Kakashi opened his mouth to answer when suddenly the doors behind Sasuke were blown open, revealing Hoshigaki Kisame. He took one step forward before he collapsed on the ground. Dead. Several deep slash wounds adorned his now mutilated back. Suigetsu emerged from the shadows carrying Zabuza's sword "Well, looks like I've added another sword to my collection." Suigetsu picked up Samahada and slung it across his back. "Suigetsu you are a bastard. You didn't even let me get a strike in on him. Now how am I supposed to prove myself to Sasuke-kun?" Karin roared at the water-like boy. "Oh, I don't know Karin" Suigetsu started "You could always get down on your knees and…" Suigetsu never got to finish his sentence, as Karin bashed his head with her fist.

"Kakashi-sensei, was I like before?" Sakura asked. Said silver-haired jonin looked over at his pink-haired student and replied "Kind of." That was all Sakura needed to know. If he said anymore, he'd end up back in the hospital. Jugo entered behind Karin and shrugged as Sasuke looked at him. Sighing, Sasuke turned back to Kakashi "Once more: What is going on with Naruto?" he asked calmly, as inside he was ready to kill the pervert he had called sensei. "The reason Naruto is acting like that Sasuke is because the leader of Akatsuki killed Jiraiya-sama. The one that has trained Naruto for last couple of years." To say Sasuke was a little shocked would be an understatement. To become that powerful over the death of one person was unbelievable to Sasuke.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to understand Sasuke." Sakura said to him. Kakashi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. 'You truly have grown up to be a true ninja Sakura.' Sasuke was broken out of his contemplation by the sound of explosions in the distance. "Looks like they have encountered enemy shinobi. Team Hebi, move out." Sasuke's orders had been given and were to be obeyed without question. "Let's go Sakura" Kakashi said as Sasuke and his team left. She nodded and followed her sensei out of the building.

Behind them, something happened to the corpus of Uchiha Itachi. His Mangekyo Sharingan came to life and flashed before dying completely. Miles away, at The Valley of the End, an orange masked figure sat atop a statue. A Sharingan eye looked out at the damage the valley had taken during the last battle here. 'Just one more' he thought.

Sasuke, his team, Sakura, and Kakashi caught up with the rest of the group who were still far behind Naruto. "Kakashi-senpai, we can't seem to catch up to to him. He's just to fast" said Yamato "unless someone can catch up to him and/or slow him down, we will lose his trail." Kakashi looked over at Kiba and Akamaru, who both nodded in agreement. "I'll go." Everyone looked back at Sasuke as though he had grown a second head. "You aren't going to try to kill him again, are you Sasuke?" asked Kakashi. All he got was an "I'll try not to." Before he could activate his seal though, he was knock down and backwards.

Above him stood an angry Hyuuga Hinata, Byakugan activated. "You will not harm Naruto-kun unless you absolutely have to! Do you understand Uchiha-teme!" she yelled. No one, not even her teammates had heard her yell like that. Sasuke got the point. Activating his Heaven Seal to level 2, he flew off toward the enraged jinchuriki. Teams 7 and 8 were horrified by what Sasuke had turned into. 'And people think that Naruto is a monster' was their collective thought.

Naruto tore through several more clones made by the Akatsuki leader. His tails flailed about and destroyed dozens more. He stopped as a scent he knew well appeared behind him. "Teme." "Dobe" Naruto swung his fist around to hit the Uchiha, only to strike air. "I'm not here to kill you Naruto. I'm here to slow you down. The others are worried that you will do something stupid and get yourself killed" Sasuke spoke with an even voice. He knew to well that Naruto could most likely kill him right now. "Don't care. Get revenge, for ero-sannin" Naruto grunted out. The clones had only enraged Naruto even more, for they were in the likeness of Jiraiya.

"Naruto, if you won't stop on your own, I will make you stop" Sasuke said as he ran through several seals, charging a Chidori. Naruto stared at the winged figure before him. He stretched out both of his hands and formed two Rasengans.

The distinct impression of deja-vu settled between them. One or the other would stop here. The only question was, who?


Don't you hate cliffhangers? Please don't throw me into the fire place over this. Just review and then we can talk about punishment for me.

I will also have a poll on whether Sasuke should live or die in my forum on my profile. Go and vote.
