Disclaimer: I do not own it, him or them.
A.N: in this chapter, it mainly consists of fighting. Something I am hesitant about. I am not good at writing about fighting, but I tried. I did my research for techniques and stole techniques off other characters and applied them to Naruto and Sasuke. So you will realize that throughout the chapter.
R&R
-------------------------------
"SASUKE!" shouted Naruto.
The grey cloaked human monster with wings did not respond as it howled. Locks of ebony hair waved around messily.
Naruto shouted again, this time Sasuke did turn around and acknowledge his existence, but only as the source of sound and powerful chakra, not in recognition. Naruto was forced to look away as he saw once black eyes begin to spin, flashing red. He then heard "Mangekyo sharingan"
The next thing Naruto knew, he was dodging life threatening attacks, while avoiding the attackers eyes. He conjured shadow clones and attacked. The two were equally matched. The strength of their chakra destroyed the trees and rocks that lay around them, burning them crisp. The wind howled, filled with chakra, making it lethal. For every time their attacks met, the earth around them would shake from the brutal strength and the intensity of the attack would create thick and loud sound waves, traveling long distances as there was nothing to bounce off of.
As Naruto fought and dodged Sasuke's lethal attacks, he tried to search his friends eyes, when the Sharingan was no longer dangerous, trying to find some familiarity, recognition, or even sanity. But he found none. But he wouldn't give up yet, not until he could end this his way.
"Sasuke! Don't you remember who I am?" shouted Naruto, as he dodged a chidori attack. "It's me, Naruto, the number one knuckle head ninja!!"
Sasuke pulled out his katana (sword) and directed his chidori into it. He began to attack Naruto with speed and agility. Naruto couldn't use his kunai to deflect the attacks since the electricity would travel to his weapon and get him. He brought his hands up and created a hand seal then smashed it onto the ground yelling "Doton Kekkai: Dorodomu" it was an Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness, it consumed and trapped Sasuke and his electric katana in a dome of dirt.
Naruto knew that the petty jutsu would not last long, and that he needed a strong wooden staff to fight against the electric katana. He bit his finger, drew out enough blood and then made a hand seal and slammed his hand into the dirt. There was a puff of smoke as Gambanta the toad appeared.
"I need you to turn into a staff"
The toad nodded, already aware of the situation. He thought to himself sadly, like father like son, except whilst both were fighting demons, Naruto was also fighting his best friend.
There was an explosion as Sasuke emerged from the dirt, he snarled in an inhuman like manner. He brought his Katana up into the air and swung it at Naruto. Electric sparks flew into his direction. Naruto swore, quickly making another hand seal, he yelled, "Hari Jizo", his hair swiftly grew and wrapped around him and the toad and hardened, in a manner similar to a hedgehog's quills, defending them both. While using his chakra to strengthen the barrier, he turned to the toad and murmured quietly.
"Henge: Kongonyoi" he watched as the toad darkened to the darkest tone, and transformed into a long staff. "Thank-you old friend" he said with gratitude.
Naruto released the barrier of spikes and without waiting for his hair to return to its normal length, he charged, blocking yet another attack. His spiky hair whipped around him dangerously before turning to its original length. His staff was no ordinary staff, it was indestructible, because not only was it a toad but it followed the way of a sage.
The two took off in the air, the sound of the 2 weapons meeting echoed, as Sasuke attacked and Naruto defended. While defending Naruto screamed out to Sasuke, trying to get him to remember, to show signs of human life.
"Do you remember when we first joined as a team, and how you hated me and I hated you?"
Naruto blocked another attack.
"Do you remember Sakura? How she used to have long pink hair, but cut it during the chuunnin exams to protect the both of us?!"
In reply, he got a screech from the semi human form.
"Do you remember when we fought at the top of the hospital and almost killed each other? Or when we saved each others lives? When we protected Konoha together?! When we almost died together? DON'T YOU REMEMBER!!" roared Naruto desperately.
Sasuke went for Naruto again, this time swinging the katana at his chest. Naruto ducked under the swing and swung at his abdomen with the blunt end of his staff, but the missing nin wasn't there. He had pivoted and was beside the blonde. The raven haired man swung at Naruto's head but the blonde ducked under the blow, flipped over forwards, rolled and jumped facing his friend. Sasuke swung his katana straight at his ex best friends neck. Naruto blocked the blow with his staff and pushed the katana back. Naruto went with the movement, spun and used a roundhouse kick into the side of his opponents chest. His foot went in with a satisfying crunch, breaking many pairs of ribs.
Naruto then jumped on the Uchiha and pinned him onto the floor usiing one of his substitute sensei's wood technique to trap Sasuke as the branches wrapped around his body.
"Uchiha Sasuke! Do you remember that? You are an Uchiha! You are not a monster! Do you remember how you vowed to kill your brother?! Do you remember why? He killed your whole family! Do you remember how hard you trained-" Naruto was cut off with a snarl. He wasn't sure whether he had hit a nerve or simply angered the beast as he pinned him down harder.
"Do you remember me, Sasuke? Uzumaki Naruto. Your best friend! My brother! Do you still feel the bond we have! I do, Sasuke! Do you remember how we used to swear at each other and then Sakura would threaten to hit us, and in the end, always hit me! Do you remember how sakura loved you?! DID YOU KNOW SHE STILL DOES!! YOU'VE BEEN GONE FOR 7 YEARS, BUT WE STILL LOVE YOU SASUKE! YOU ARE OUR FRIEND!" Naruto roared as he shook Sasuke at the shoulders, willing him to remember. The monster stared back at the strange blonde with anger, then slowly smirked, and spat in his face. At Naruto's moment of weakness, as he cleared his eyes, Sasuke used this to his advantage and broke free form the wooden grasp and kicked the blonde in the stomach, making him fly several feet away.
Sasuke approached Naruto who was on the floor and brought his katana above his head, then swung it hard at the staff, both weapons vibrated, but it was the Katana that crumbled from the pressure. Sasuke glared, extremely irritated, jumped back, retreating. Naruto also jumped back, ready to change tactics.
He looked to the staff and thanked it, giving it permission to disappear.
"If you need anything, you know where we all are" said the toad before disappearing.
He turned back to Sasuke who flickered with speed as he approached the blonde. As he ran, he preformed a jutsu then raised his hand to his mouth, yelling "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu" Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. A large fireball emerged from his mouth, burning everything in its way. Naruto raised his fingers and formed a symbol and muttered "Hiraishin no Jutsu" which transported him several hundred meters away from the destruction. He silently thanked his father for inventing such a technique which led to his son also earning the nickname 'yellow flash'.
Sasuke let out a demonic roar of irritation; he then pulled out a needle with a smirk and flicked it into the air. Sasuke then did several hand seals. Naruto watched as the needle flew higher into the sky, then multiplied by a thousand and flew at him from all directions.
Naruto cursed and quickly did a hand seal, summoning water then followed it by another set of complicated seals and muttered "Sensatsu Suisho" which summoned a Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death in the direction of Sasuke's senbons, which deflected most of them. Those that didn't, Naruto dodged and destroyed with his kunai.
After witnessing his failure, Sasuke ran at Naruto and dropped to perform a spinning kick, trying to take the blonde's feet out from under him.
Naruto just stepped over it. He then lunged and tried to grab his arms. Naruto twisted his arms up and away, and then stepped back out of his grip. Naruto dropped and spun and took the Uchiha's feet out from under him, making him fall on his back with a thump. Sasuke flipped back onto his feet. He threw a fist at Naruto's face, who grabbed his wrist, twisted it and threw him over his shoulder onto his back, knocking the wind out of him. Both panted. Sasuke performed a roundhouse kick at the blonde's head. Naruto ducked underneath. He continued performing a series of roundhouse kicks, forcing the unaware blonde back as he continued to duck underneath them, till he was up against a boulder that had survived the two's fighting. Sasuke then pinned him against it. Sasuke raised one hand to perform a seal for the temporary Paralysis Technique. The technique froze Naruto in his tracks, unable to move, leaving an opening for a more dangerous attack. Naruto eyes widened as he was angry with himself for letting his guard down and at the Uchuha, yelled "TEME!"
He watched Sasuke's face as his black eyes flashed with recognition and his fists aim slightly falter, but recover so fast he wasn't sure it ever happened. But Naruto willed himself to believe, he felt himself stir with hope.
"Sasuke! Teme! You remember! Don't you! It's me! Dobe-"
Naruto didn't get to finish his sentence as Sasuke withdrew his fist, screamed chidori and charged at Naruto's chest, crushing the blonde's bones and hope.
Naruto felt his body snap into pieces from the impact of the attack, destroying the boulder as it crumbled, unable to withstand the attack. His body jerked forward, into the Uchiha's arm as blood spurted from his wound all over the both of them. Naruto struggled to breathe as his nose clotted with blood and his mouth filled with the red liquid, forcing him to spit it out. His vision blurred and so did his balance, as he limply fell to the floor, his eyes never leaving his attackers.
"Do you remember doing that at the Valley of the End, teme" chocked Naruto, spitting out blood, while his hands moved to heal himself, and numb the pain.
Naruto watched as his opponents eyes widened, then glanced back at his hand, then at Naruto's wound, in recognition. Naruto let out a sigh as he felt his body slowly heal, enabling him to move, but he still felt dizzy, since nothing could heal the loss of blood.
Sasuke clutched his head and groaned, Naruto's blood staining his head. The Uchiha dropped to his knees, cradling his head. Naruto let his guard down, and sighed with relief. He forced his body to shuffle towards the Uchiha.
"Sasuke?" called Naruto.
The long raven hair bounced as the Uchiha raised his head, mouth forming a smirk, as the cursed seal darkened on his face.
"Don't you get it? Sasuke no longer exists, fool" sneered the monster inside of the human body.
Naruto's eyes widened, shocked. He shook his head in disbelief and in denial. But his biggest mistake was looking the monster in the eye.
"Mangekyo Sharingan" it said with a wicked laugh.

Don't forget to review. Constructive criticism is most welcome. I hope I did the fighting scenes well.
