Punishment Jutsu

Chapter 2: A Strange Situation

Naruto was running. He could not escape it even outside of the leaf village he was hated. "No matter what I do! I'm always a monster in their eyes!"

"Who's eyes Naruto?" Naruto stopped on a narrow branch and spun. He was face to face with Sasuke. He squawked and fell backward. Sasuke grabbed his hand. Unfortunately he had chosen the wrong branch. It began to crack. Sasuke let go of Naruto who managed a graceless landing on his feet. Sasuke landed in a crouched position with the grace of a cat. He stood and looked Naruto over. He was unhurt. Sasuke frowned, "You should be more careful."

Naruto stuck his tongue out with no idea just how provocative he looked to the raven headed boy. Naruto turned his back, "What do you care bastard?" Sasuke blushed ever so slightly but Naruto was looking the other way so he missed it completely. Sasuke recovered himself in time to answer, "Well it would not do for you to get injured and then cause us to miss a weeks worth of missions."

Naruto's shoulder's slumped for a second. Sasuke could sense the disappointment radiating off the other, but then Naruto turned with his megawatt smile in place, "Of course you couldn't do missions without my incredible awesomeness!" Sasuke rolled his eyes. Then he opened his mouth to ask about what had happened back at the party. A scream filled the air. Both Naruto and Sasuke withdrew a kunai from their weapons pouch. Naruto was first on to launch himself into the situation head first. Sasuke frowned, "Tch, what a dobe." He followed more cautiously.

Sasuke peered through the trees there stood Naruto between a man twice his size of about the age forty, and a frail looking girl around their own age maybe a bit older. She had shoulder length auburn hair and olive green eyes. The girl was disheveled and looked frightened. Naruto was brandishing his kunai and glaring up at the man. The man growled reaching behind him slowly, "How dare you interfere! This is none of your concern!"

"I say it's my concern when I see a man beating a girl half his size near to death!"

"This is between Chiyo and I," The man drew a long sword and pointed it over Naruto's shoulder with blinding speed and accuracy, "You shame your clan child, and now you are even relying on outsiders to solve your problems." He spat on the ground, "You are a disgrace to our clan and your selfishness will cost this young man his life."

Chiyo screamed, "Father don't!"

Naruto attempted to block the razor sharp blade with his measly little knife, but a brilliant flash of orange light blinded him. He covered his eyes and blinked. Sasuke was standing in front of him wielding flames. The sword glowed red hot. Sasuke kicked it and it warped then snapped sending dangerous hot metal flying back past Naruto and Chiyo.

The man roared, "Another interloper! How dare you protect that impudent child. She has shamed her clan she must give up the life inside of her!"

"No please! Father, I can't?" She cradled her stomach and sobbed. The man kicked Sasuke sending him flying. He managed to right himself and land with grace. The man bared down on the girl that was obviously his daughter. His fist was aimed at her stomach but Naruto knocked her down protecting her with his back which received the sickening blow. Sasuke was fuming. He launched himself at the man all the while thoughts of rage at the blond idiot for getting himself hurt. Sasuke sent shuriken at the man. He moved to dodge leaving Naruto in his firing range. He refused to move as the girl was still cowering below him. The projectiles tore into him. Naruto didn't make a sound but the girl looked up pityingly at his pained expression. Sasuke sent another fire ball toward the angry man. Then he ran to Naruto, "You idiot! You could have been hurt!"

"Nah, You know me Teme. It takes a lot more to put me out of commission," Naruto grinned but he was panting hard and blood soaked his orange jacket from the two shuriken that had embedded in his shoulder. Sasuke's rage boiled thinking that if the trajectory of the throwing stars had been over by and inch Naruto would be dead or at best paralyzed from the neck down. He almost forgot about their opponent. The man was up and charging them Sasuke turned and formed hand seals creating a clone to look after his teammate and the girl. The clone glared at Naruto with a look that said, I just dare you to move…Moron.

Sasuke clashed with the man who's strength and years of experience made him difficult to deal with. Sasuke's speed and skill enabled him to keep up with the man. Sasuke managed to hit the man with a kunai in the ankle disabling him. He barked out in pain, but lurched forward. He was going after the girl once again and he planned to go through the injured boy to get to her. He punched Sasuke's copy and it vanished. He grabbed onto Naruto's arm with bone crunching strength. Sasuke stabbed his other foot with another kunai.

The man screamed hoarsely but did not give up his grip. Sasuke tackled him in a less then graceful manner his eyes flashed red and he began pummeling the man in the face. The man shoved Sasuke off. He was fuming, his face reddened in anger. He formed hand seals so quickly that even Sasuke's sharingan had trouble catching them. The man shouted, "Punishment Jutsu!" Sasuke felt weakened but the thud behind him told him that Naruto had been hit with it also. He turned to see the boy seeming to have fainted on the girl. He turned back and the man was gone. He wondered why and how he managed to get away but the sounds of Sakura and Kakashi shouting distracted him. He turned to see the flash of pink that was at his side. Sakura actually stepped over Naruto to get to Sasuke. The other girl had extracted herself from under Naruto. She gently pulled on the shuriken in his back and managed to get them out without further damaging him. They were still bleeding badly. Kakashi came over to the boy. Concern flashed across the visibal part of his face, "What happened?"

"Naruto was injured," Sasuke barked out. He was still quite angry with the dobe for running headlong into a dangerous situation.

"Um…Thank you," The girl spoke suddenly, "Thanks to both of you. You saved my child." She frowned and rubbed her stomach. That boy, he…he saved us both. She looked gratefully at Naruto's prone figure. "Will…will he be alright," She begged looking from Kakashi, to Sakura, then to Sasuke.

"He'll be fine," Sakura dismissed. She went back to tending, or at least attempting to tend Sasuke's injuries. He had a scant few cuts and bruises. He shoved her off, "I'm fine. Now get off me." He looked at Naruto and his face darkened, "That dobe nearly got us killed. Suddenly Naruto's expressionless face changed to one tinged with pain. Sasuke felt a sharp stabbing sensation in his heart. 'He…I almost killed him." Sasuke admitted to himself. He nearly destroyed the very person he had been dreaming about and lusting after secretly.

"Will you be alright miss?" Kakashi asked in a charming voice.

"Please call me Chiyo…but I think it is not safe for me to return home now…or ever again for that matter." Tears welled up in her eyes. She sniffed, "Would…could you possibly t-take me with you?"

"That we can do miss. I am sure the Hokage could find it in his heart to grant someone as pretty as yourself asylum." Kakashi offered her a hand and she stood. She tried to cover her dirty and torn dress. She was so ashamed. She had shamed her clan and now she had nowhere to go. Her father was probably right about her, but the life growing inside her disserved a chance to live. Kakashi moved to pick up Naruto when Chiyo grabbed her self around the middle and stumbled. Kakashi rested Naruto on the ground. He turned to her, "You are hurt aren't you?" She blushed and looked away. Kakashi placed his palm on her midsection. Chiyo winced and pulled away, "In your condition I would wager that walking will be difficult." Chiyo blushed as she acknowledged with a brief nod. Kakashi picked the young woman up, "Looks like I already have one burden to carry. Could you manage Naruto, Sasuke?" Sasuke grunted and began gathering up the blond. Naruto was not heavy like Sasuke had expected. He was no feather weight but he was lighter then Sasuke thought him to be.

The five of them stopped just outside the nearest village to rest. Sakura took Chiyo into the town to buy a new outfit. Sasuke and Kakashi sat in a small grassy clearing to rest. Kakashi checked Naruto over, "Naruto seems fine…what was that jutsu you were telling me about?"

"He called it a punishment jutsu. I felt drained after he performed it but otherwise fine. Naruto…he was caught in it as well I guess it took more out of him since he was already injured. Nafruto was laid face down so his injuries wouldn't be further aggravated. Kakashi had removed the boy's jacket. Sasuke watched intently as the man pushed his black undershirt up. Sasuke noticed how slender Naruto actually was, but what caught his attention was the deep purple bruise in the center of his back. Sasuke growled internally. Naruto's blank expression morphed into one of pain. Sasuke thought nothing of it since he had such a painful looking bruise to his spine. Naruto began to writhe and his Shuriken wounds that had been scabbing were torn open once again. Sasuke saw the fresh blood saturate his bandages and he forgot his anger at that man for the moment. Naruto relaxed a bit and curled onto his side. He didn't open his eyes but Kakashi could tell that he was sleeping rather then unconscious. He looked to his other student who was staring intently at the boy's exposed back. His eye curved as he tugged the shirt down, 'No more free show for you.' A slight look of disappointment etched into Sasuke's features he was oblivious to his teacher, but then he frowned and his mask was back in place. "Should we rest a bit longer here Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke looked as uncaring as before.

"Perhaps a bit but I would like to get back to the village before night fall if possible. Sakura and Chiyo came back to their meeting place. The girl was wearing capri pants a tank top, and sandals. She had taken the opportunity to wash up a bit and she was not bad looking. She frowned when she saw her little savior was still out. Kakashi spoke up, "He's only sleeping now. Lets let him rest for a bit then we should go we have a couple hours until we reach our village. Sakura smiled and nodded. Chiyo nodded and sat next to Naruto combing her fingers through his hair.

Sasuke didn't like this girl getting so close to Naruto. He didn't know why. Perhaps it was because she was the reason his teammate was nearly killed…perhaps it was something else, but Naruto cringed and clutched at his sides in pain. Kakashi bent next to him with a worried expression. He moved between Naruto and the others and pried his hands apart. Sasuke could not remember him getting an injury to his stomach but he may have missed something. He could not see anything but that Kakashi had lifted the boy's shirt and probed at his stomach near the naval region. The silver haired man sighed in relief and put Naruto's clothes back into place. He turned around. "What's wrong," Sakura asked.

"Oh nothing, boy must have a stitch in his side," Kakashi waved the question off. Sakura only smiled and relaxed and Sasuke sat in the small clearing across. From where Naruto was laid. They rested there for afew more minutes before Kakashi stood and offered the red headed girl his hand. He Helped her onto his back and Sasuke picked up Naruto. Naruto turned and grasped at the boy's shirt. His mouth hung open slightly as he breathed peacefully. Sasuke felt something stir in his chest, some deep buried emotion tried to spring forth. He squashed it quickly. He could not afford to let any emotions other then hate and anger raise their head. Sasuke angrily squashed the emotions. Naruto's hands gripped his shirt harder as he whimpered quietly.

{well that's all for this time.}
