Hey Males and females of the Naruto loving community :) This may well be the second update in one day, Please don't expect updates to be this close together later on D:

I have Wednesdays off from college so I find myself with nothing to do all day, so here I am, typing... ANYWAY

Last time!

Wait, what happened? –Re reading!-

Aha! Naruto and Kin met again :P she substitutioned away D: Naruto gave her a fish (and a scroll) :D Zaku and Dosu ran away from Super Sasuke, he was like 'no wai' kin was like 'yes wai' and he was like 'NOO must kill yoo naow!' and kin was like D: but then Naruto showed up and was like 'thats well out of order' and here we are!

OoOoO

Sasuke dashed quickly toward Naruto with his kunai trailing behind him, the desire to kill flashed in his eyes, the blonde quickly pulled out his own kunai and held it infront of him with both hands, when the blades clashed Naruto grunted in surprise at the strength Sasuke was using.

'He never showed this kind of power in training... It have something to do with those markings'

Sasuke only smirked as he vanished only to appear within the second behind Naruto, delivering a lightning fast kick to sweep the blonde off his feet, before he could even touch the floor a second kick had been delivered to his spine. A sickening crack sounded through the clearing as Sakura landed down on a branch, she watched as Naruto was tossed into a tree trunk like a pebble...

She found herself unable to speak, move or even think... Naruto had just been killed before her eyes... no one could survive a kick like that, and that crack... there was no way... she watched in horror as Sasuke walked into the dust cloud that had been kicked up by Naruto's impact, obviously to kill him, if he wasn't already dead.

OoOoO

Naruto bolted up right and glanced around in mild shock.

'Where's the forest gone?' He began to pull himself to his feet while he glanced around... a sewer? Like the one he often ran through in Konoha to escape trouble... but this one was huge, he couldn't even see the ceiling, the walls just seemed endless as he stared upwards.

"Hn hn hn hn hn hn hn..." Naruto snapped his head to face the direction of the sudden noise and froze... a gate... a huge gate, it went from wall to wall, easily over 40 foot, larger than the gates to the front of the city! He squinted into the blackness of the cage for a few seconds before a huge pair of blood red eyes flashed menacingly in the dark, he couldn't move, couldn't speak... this being... whatever it was had such a presence... it was literally crushing him with merely a stare.

"It seems you've finally found me, Naruto-kun" as the eyes blinked Naruto found himself freed from the crushing sensation and found his voice again

"Y-you know m-me?"

"Yes... I've known you for 12 long years"

"W-who a-are you?"

"Straight to the point... as always" the eyes were briefly joined by a huge set of grinning teeth before they again receded into the darkness

"I am the Kyuubi" Naruto's eyes flashed in fear as he quickly raised his shirt to check the seal

"How did you get out!" a rumbling laughter echoed out of the cage at this

"You really don't know anything do you? This place is inside of you... you arrived here because you are in need of my help"

"Sasuke?"

"Exactly... hes trying to kill you, that female from Otogakure as well..." the beast allowed itself a small smile as Naruto flinched...

"How do I stop him?" the boy lowered his head in defeat knowing he couldn't defeat Sasuke... especially now he had some crazy new strength

"It's simple Naruto-Kun... Remove the seal and all my strength will flow into your system directly" The boys face showed confusion at the great beasts words

"This place represents your chakra coils... look at the water, it barely comes up to your ankle... with my chakra added these tunnels will be filled to capacity, Imagine the potential" the beasts eyes flashed madly with the prospect of finally being freed

"H-How do I know I can trust you?"

"At the moment Naruto-kun, You don't have a choice, unless we act quickly... you will cease to exist"

The boy slowly reached out and ran a finger down the seal running his mind over the decision

"But... if I remove the seal, you'll be let out" The monster only narrowed his eyes at this

"you would give up your own life to make sure I remain sealed?" The boy didn't respond for a few seconds but slowly nodded. At this thick claws hammered down on the gate and the beast Growled and roared through the bars

"STUPID HUMAN!" A flick of the tail and a thin stream of blood ran through the cage doors and slowly surrounded Naruto

"Remember you little shit, you owe me this one"

OoOoO

The boy again bolted upright, his hazy vision slowly retuned to reveal Sasuke slowly approaching with a mad look in his eye, the black marks still apparent across his face and down his arms, seconds passed while Sasuke approached the blonde.

'Hes trying to kill the female from Otogakure as well...' the words of the demon echoed in his mind as he felt power coursing through his body... the small amount of strength the fox had given had made him so much stronger... the boy looked down at his hands to see his veins were being pushed to the surface of his skin by ever expanding muscles, finger nails were sharpening into claws... a low growl emanated from his throat as Sasuke launched a punch, before the raven could react a swift kick had sent him flying backwards out of the dust.

Sakura closed her eyes firmly as she heard a crack in the dust cloud... no doubt Sasuke had finished Naruto off now... a groan behind her made her look... Sasuke lying on the floor with Naruto rapidly approaching. The blonde jumped into the sky and landed heavily on Sasuke's elbows crushing the bones, the girl immediately span around to hide her eyes from the vicious scene. Sasuke yelled out in pain as his eyes rolled into his head and fell unconscious, seconds passed while the voice of the Kyuubi still rung In Naruto's head tempting him to finish the other ninja off...

'hes a danger to you... to the girl, its not worth the risk. You know it'

"shut UP!" Naruto grabbed his head in an attempt to shake the Influence the beast had... the voices slowly quietened as he used all of his strength to resist.. Blackness.. the boy suddenly felt his heart slow... sounds became faded...

"What's... going on?" the blonde slowly thudded to the ground, his eyes attempted to focus on something moving in front of him, he squinted... Kin... her lips are moving, no sound... blurry vision slowly gave way to darkness

'Am I dying?'

OoOoO

Kin watched as Naruto sprung out of the dust in what appeared to be super speed, she watched in fascination as he landed on Sasuke, immediately crushing the bones in his elbows before landing countless punches to the boys face. An angry contorted growl was always present... the pink haird girl landed on the other side of the clearing as the curse mark started to recede... she felt herself relax, Finally it seemed to be over. A tear threatened to escape as she felt the stress wash away for the first time in a few years.

'No more crying damn it' she took ina deep breath and ignored the sound of the squealing kunoichi from across the clearing... a quiet thud brought her from her thoughts, so glanced over her shoulder to see Naruto on the floor... they briefly locked eyes

"Naruto? A-are you okay?" his eyes dulled slightly... she could tell they were losing focus, her heart began to speed up

"Naruto, Naruto?" she tried to climb to her feet only to have her injured leg shake wildly underneath her, she thudded heavily into the dirt.

"PINKY! Stop looking stupid and help him!"

She slammed a fist into the dirt and dragged herself closer to the fallen boy, gritting her teeth to stop the tears, This was Naruto... he'd beaten the snake, he'd made her smile... he couldn't just fall, she hadn't even said thank you! Her resolve strengthened as she clawed into the dirt

"Hear that you Blonde idiot! You can't die yet!"

Sakura blinked her way out of the trance she was in, her squeals slowly quietened until she could think straight... the sound girl was right... she had to make sure Sasuke was okay. She dashed forward and skidded to a halt in front of him, falling to her knees and pulling out a bandage she began to wrap Sasuke's elbows only to find that the bones didn't seem to be damaged... she was sure that Naruto had crushed them.

"Not him! Save Naruto!" she screamed herself hoarse as she slowly edged closer, her voice barely understandable as it shook so wildly. Sakura glanced at the sound kunoichi and immediately felt pity for her... her leg was obviously badly damaged, screaming nonsense at her from a few meters away and slowly edging toward Naruto... quite frankly Sakura didn't care what happened to Naruto right now... what was he thinking attacking Sasuke like that? He could have ended his ninja career if he had damaged the bones! She sighed... she knew Naruto had a perfectly good reason... why did she even try t defend Sasuke right now? He was obviously... out of it, but it had to be that seal...

"I'm sorry, I need to make sure that Sasuke-Kun is okay first..." she turned her attention back to the object of her affection and produced a small level diagnostic jutsu and ran it over his arms and legs, ignoring the string of curses that were thrown at her from a few foot away, her memory teased her as she remembered landing on the branch just as Sasuke charged at Naruto... she had no idea what had happened, but she needed an explanation. She had heard Naruto's voice just before she landed but didn't catch what was said.. probably a taunt...

'why would Sasuke attack Naruto? He MUST have deserved it' she shook her head... she couldn't even convince herself, she'd seen what Sasuke had done to him, that had been an attempt on his life! No excuses...

'It must be that seal on his neck... it must be controlling him or something... this isn't Sasuke, it isn't!'

Once she was sure Sasuke was in no real danger she stood up and approached the girl running the same justu over her body she hardly noticed the screams she was receiving, a small gasp escaped her mouth when she felt something grab her hair.

"Are you listening to me pinky! Forget about me! SAVE Naruto!" she looked at the sound kunoichis face who now had fire in her eyes

"you already said good bye to those pretty pink locks, want to lose a fucking eye!" Sakura glanced over her shoulder to see a sizable amount of her hair had been cut clean off... and say chunks on the floor and in the sound girls fist.

"SAVE THE BLONDE" Sakura then got pushed toward Naruto forcibly by the slightly smaller girl before she pulled herself closer and seemed to be... comforting him? She sighed to herself and began to run the same jutsu over Naruto as well...

Kin let a small smile out when the pink haired kunoichi focused her attention on Naruto, she followed his spine first to check for any damage from the kick, then his legs and the rest of his body... as it ran over his chest Sakura's expression faltered slightly . Her heart jumped into her throat.

'She found something... he's not going to make it! Is it my fault!' Kin was about to fall apart when she noticed that the girls expression was not on of worry or sadness... just confusion. She then watched as the girl pulled his shirt up to reveal a mark... a deep red mark covering a large portion of his chest... almost the colour of blood. A thin spiral marking winding around until it hit his navel. Both flinched when a pulse of red light span around the spiral, he flinched in pain as the pulse appeared... wait... pain? He's alive?

She let herself smile as she clawed her way toward the boys head and gently spoke into his ears, the pinkette didn't seem to mind, or notice, she was obviously fascinated by the marking on Naruto's stomach.

"what is that?" she flinched, shed forgotten that there was anyone else there, she glanced at the sound nin who was resting on an elbow near Naruto's head and gesturing to the mark.

"It looks like some kind of seal... but it seems to be healing him, those bursts of red light are following his chakra coils, they're speeding up his cell growth if my diagnostic jutsu was right... I can only assume... cell growth take up a lot of chakra, there's only one person who's been able to do it before and she had to build up the chakra for years before she could"

"So you think that seal is storing chakra?"

"Maybe... but a chakra seal is slightly different to this, we use them on training weights... this looks more like containment than storage" both kunoichi remained silent as they continued to stare at the seal.

OoOoO

12 hours to go

Naruto felt a twinge on his leg, slapping it lightly

'stupid bugs...' another twinge, on his face this time, he raised his palm and prepared to slap it away but felt something soft grab it, he frowned slightly, tried to open his eyes

"too bright" he muttered as he raised his other hand and tapped his cheek... he could just about fee it, a muffled noise to his right, as if he were under water, suddenly his cheek began to feel the touch of his rough fingers...

'I can feel' he grinned, but immediately wished he couldn't, as pain flooded through his limbs, he bolted up right and opened his eyes... the sudden exposure made him yell and tried to cver them with his hands, bringing the soft thing toward his face. He felt a tap on the head and glanced to his right to see Sakura sitting there trying to tie a bandage around his wrist, he smiled, she was clearly annoyed.

"ohayo Sakura" he didn't recognise the sound of his own voice. Still muffled, she spoke but he couldn't make anything out...

'There's no use you little fuck'

'K-kyuubi?'

'Who were you expecting the fucking Easter bunny?'

'H-how, what... happened?'

'It takes a lot of chakra to bring people back from the edge of death, I guess I used so much that a link was made'

'You can talk to me?'

'Id have thought that was obvious'

'Great...'

'What was that?'

'Nothing...'

Your damn right nothing.'

"Naruto? Can you hear me?" he barely managed to understand through the thick buzz that was present.

"Hai... where's Kin?" the blonde glanced around the tent and then at Sakura who was clearly confused

"The sound girl" he added quickly

"Oh, her, she left a while ago, to find her team I suppose"

"That's good, was she okay?"

"Not really, badly injured leg, I'd be surprised if she were still alive right now"

"Then why did you let her go!"

"I didn't! She wanted to, something about not wanting to be around Sasuke" Naruto grimaced... he'd almost forgotten what Sasuke had done to her.

"Good riddance if you ask me, how dare she talk about Sasuke like that?" Naruto sat silently for a second, glancing around the tent again to see if Sakura was lying, he glanced outside the tent o see a heaven scroll sitting on a tree stump just outside.

"She was a nice person"

"She was an enemy! Probably would have cut our throats if she stuck around any longer"

"She wasn't an enemy!"

"Oh really? Can you prove it!"

"YES!" he clumsily climbed to his feet and stumbled toward the entrance"

"What, you're going after her?"

"If she was an enemy, would she have left this behind?" he flashed her the scroll before sitting down... anger underlined his tone.

OoOoO

The female sound nin stumbled through the forest, slowly making her way toward the tower... only praying that her team had found an extra heaven scroll... and hoped that wouldn't be to annoyed that she had 'lost' their other one.

"Hello there Kin." She faltered slightly in her footing and collapsed onto the floor wincing in pain

"Oh Kin, how unfortunate" the snake sannin made no effort to help her, just watched from his position standing on a tree branch

"Orochimaru-samma, I'm sorry we failed you, the cursed seal was to strong"

"Oh come now child, you didn't think I expected you to win did you?" he grinned inwardly as he threw a heaven scroll at her

"In fact I'm more than surprised you survived at all" Kin shuddered at what he implied and scrambled after the scroll before it rolled off the branch

"Unfortunately Kin, your use for me has all but dried up, Dosu and Zaku as well" he watched her body for any hint of fear and grinned at the result

"Of course I'm a reasonable man, I always give my people chances to redeem themselves"

"Anything Orochimaru-samma"

"Anything my dear? You should really listen to what I have to say before you agree" he smiled sweetly at her

"There's a very particular jutsu I need to perform to defeat the third, Impure resurrection. Maybe you've heard of it?" his smile widened at her fear

"Yes Kin, you Zaku and Dosu will be used as the sacrifices, they have you to thank"

Kin felt tears threatening to escape again but fought back viciously, she stood up wincing slightly at the pain and jumped into the branches landing painfully

"Oh kin, do try and hurry... you wouldn't want Zaku and Dosu to get worried would you? Oh and be a peach and tell them who they have thank for the honour of taking down the third"

Kin crushed her eyes together firmly trying to keep the tears from escaping, she had no idea what Zaku and Dosu would do when they found out she was responsible...

OoOoO

Hmmm... Should I upload this now? Or save it for another day? Now or later... now or later... Now...

Or later...

Now. May aswell.
