Sasuke woke up feeling a sharp pain in his entire body.
Opening his eyes he was confused as he saw he was above the ground suspended by two chakra ropes that were wrapped around his wrists.
"Mmph..." he groaned, he was gagged with some sort of material that was tied behind his head.
Looking down at his body he saw these strange little rod like things stuck in his body, he realized now he was hanging in front of the Gedo Mezu statue that 'Tobi' had shown him.
"Like it?" he heard an eerie voice ask.
He looked down once more and saw Madara and Tobi stepping out of the shadows.
"I recon you have about a two days worth of time til you'll be dead, see those rods react with the Gedo Mezu, they will suck out your chakra then when that is done, your life force with be next, slowly shutting down your body as it steals your body's energy.
Sasuke just blinked twice understanding but not quiet caring at the moment, he'd try and figure out how to escape once the two bastards were gone.
"I told you already I do not take well to betrayal. This will be the outcome of your punishment for betraying me." Madara said sounding bored as he traced his finger against the cave wall.
"Let's go Obito." Madara said turning his back on Sasuke and disappearing into the shadows.
Obito followed and once they were gone Sasuke started struggling fiercely against the chakra ropes.
However has he pulled they became tighter and tighter until finely his still broken wrist could take no more.
He just hung there and waited for death to take him, there was nothing he could do.

"I'm sorry about Gai sensei."
"Yeah, me too. Thanks." Kakashi whispered softly.
"You sensing anything sensei?" Naruto asked quietly.
"No, but I know they're here somewhere, we had sensed Sasuke's chakra in this place a couple hours ago, then it faded as if he were going into unconsciousness. He's here, but he's either very weak or asleep. One of the two." Kakashi stated.
"Right, I felt it too. Glad to know I wasn't the only one."
They came to a large boulder in the cave like structure and Kakashi frowned at first.
"Naruto!" he whispered.
"What is it?" Naruto asked loudly.
"Keep your voice down, I can sense Madara's chakra, he's trying to hide it...but I can still feel it." the Jonin said quickly.
"Okay."
"Now step back, I'm going to blast that thing down." Kakashi said charging up his Lightning Blade.
"You could use some help with that, its pretty big." Naruto said charging up his Rasengan with infused the power of Kurama.
They both hit the boulder with amazing force and the thing blasted into millions of pieces.
The two shinobi ran into the room just in time to see Madara's smirking face and Obito teleporting them away with Kamui.
"What...where'd they go! The stupid cowards!"
"Naruto..." Kakashi whispered.
"What?"
Kakashi jumped high into the air and landed on a giant hand of a statue.
"What are you doing sen...oh god. Sasuke!" Naruto cried.
Kakashi pulled out two kunai and threw them at the ropes before quickly grabbing Sasuke around the waist and pulling him into his arms.
Sasuke didn't do so much as groan.
"He's freezing." Kakashi muttered.
Jumping back down Kakashi held Sasuke close to his chest.
"God..." Naruto whispered as Kakashi put him onto the ground and started pulling small rods out of his pale skin.
"What did they do to him?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not sure Naruto...I don't feel any chakra pulsing through him. I'm starting to wonder if they drained all his chakra...then again he's barely alive." Kakashi replied.
"What? How could they do that?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not sure, it must have something to do with those rods."
Kakashi removed the gag from Sasuke's mouth and put his ear next to Sasuke's mouth to listen to his breathing.
"It's shallow he needs to see someone right away."
"What about Sakura?" Naruto asked.
"That's a good idea, but if we find anyone else who can heal along the way we should take the opportunity."
"Right. Let's go." replied the blond.
"Arrgh!" Sasuke suddenly moaned as he opened his eyes.
"Sasuke?" Kakashi asked softly.
Sasuke just stared, he could see Kakashi's lips moving but he couldn't make out what he was saying.
"Sasuke? Can you hear me?" Kakashi repeated as he lightly slapped Sasuke's face while cupping his chin.
Sasuke did not respond only stared at the Jonin completely confused.
"He looks like he's in shock. We really need to get him to someone immediately." Kakashi commented.
"You will not go anywhere." Madara's dark voice sounded.
"Come out you bastard!" Naruto yelled.
"I'm surprised you even found this place. I thought I had hid it well." Madara appeared out of the shadows with Obito beside him.
"Obito what did you two do to him?" Kakashi asked keeping his attention focused on both Sasuke and his old friend.
"We drained his chakra, completely. His body is permanently without chakra. I imagine his body is going through withdraws." Madara answered for his apprentice.
"Why!?" Naruto yelled angrily.
"Punishment. Betrayal is not acceptable." Madara said with boredom in his voice.
"You sick bastard! You could have killed him!" Naruto argued.
"That was the point. Moron." Madara said simply.
"Kurama!" Naruto yelled and instantly his body fused with the nine tails and yellow chakra surrounded him as the giant fox appeared.
"I'll make you pay!" Naruto yelled before charging at Madara with fury.
Madara readied his fan and prepared for the final fight.
"Stop talking and come fight me then." Madara responded.
Kakashi set Sasuke back down on the ground and stood to face Obito.
"You fight me. We'll settle this."
There I hope this was enjoyable :)
