Midnight-chan: I don't care if you hate me. I've had a really bad time lately and I forgot to put the chapter up that has, so you know, been written for ages. The main thing is that I actually DID update.

Naruto: No yelling at Midnight-chan, k? 'Cuz she isn't just using the line that people use as an excuse, she actually HAS had a VERY bad time over the last few months.

Midnight-chan: And school isn't helping either. ON WITH THE FIC! It's lonnggggg awaited! Btw, this one has alot of breaks in it, there's a reason for it. Of course I know the reasonnnnn. :D

Chapter 3: Strange findings

"Naruto! Naruto! It's Iruka! Are you home?"

Iruka had been shouting Naruto for the last ten minutes and gave up, the blonde was probably out. He turned and came face to face with a worried looking Kakashi.

"Ah, Iruka, have you seen Naruto?"

"I was about to come ask you that." Iruka replied with a concerned face

"He didn't show up for training yesterday..." Kakashi said worry lacing his voice

"Have you looked for him?"

"Everywhere." Kakashi answered

"We should report this."

And they left for Tsunade's office to report a presumed missing blonde ninja.

"Who's gonna help you? Who's gonna help YOU?" Aku taunted

"They'll notice I'm gone! You'll be in deep shit then..." Naruto replied menacingly

"Ohhh. I guess I need more chakra leeches..." Aku said going into the next room

Naruto let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He was weak. In this state all he could do was wait for Kyuu to heal him while he hoped and waited for someone to come as the torture continued. Unfortunately the healing couldn't keep up with the wounds and he went through it everyday. It was his third day here in this cold, dark room and the wounds were piling up on each other, making it hard to breath.

'Hurry guys, I'm sorry to ask this but...Help me.' Naruto prayed

What Naruto didn't know was that alot of people were looking for him at that very moment. Once it had been reported to Tsunade, she cursed herself for not noticing sooner. All of the rookie 9 -2(Sasuke and Naruto) as well as Gai's team and the rookie's senseis were looking for the blonde ninja with the blue eyes and the never-say-die attitude. Kakashi had been sent to find Jiraiya, being one of the few people whom knew, if Jiraiya was in the Leaf, where he would be. Which surprised the few who knew that no one else could even guess right. He bumped into the perverted sennin a he was leaving.

"J-Jiraiya!"

"Whoa. whoa, Kakashi, slow down."

"Naruto's missing!"

"What?"

Jiraiya took off towards Naruto's apartment, Kakashi following a second behind.

"AHHHH!"

Naruto screamed as the psychotic ex-villager slowly dragged a dagger down his stomache. Eching his horrid name as the leeches sucked on Naruto's dieing chakra. Aku stopped for a moment leaving Naruto panting hard in pain. He studied his blood soaked work before he decided to add more to his masterpiece.

"Y-you s-sick fucker!" Naruto yelled in pain

There was no sign of forced entry as Jiraiya opened the door using his spare key. Nothing was out of place. But...The window was open. Jiraiya studied the window while Kakashi looked around. No sign of struggle. Naruto had been taken while he was flat out from pure exhaustion.

"Kakashi!" Jiraiya shouted

Kakashi went back to the window Jiraiya was looking at there was blood, just on the side. Whoever took Naruto must have caught themselves on the window plane. Jiraiya took out a vile and scraped the blood in. They left to see the hokage.

When they got there, they burst in. Tsunade looked up. A thoughtful look on her face. Jiraiya handed her the tube.

"I found it in Naruto's place. I need you to run a identification test on it.

Tsunade called Shizune in and told her to do just that and asked Kakashi to help. She then looked up and met Jiraiya's eyes and wordlessly handed him the note she was reading.

"There have been reports of screaming and hysterical laughter coming from the lower level of a building just outside the village." Jiraiya looked up as Tsunade explained, tears gathering in her eyes. "They say they can hear the one who laughs shout from time to time...Calling the other a demon. We found him Jiraiya and I need you to go and get Naruto back."

"I accept. I'm getting my godson the hell away from there."

Midnight-chan: So yeah, there it is. Oh and I know I've been spelling torture 'torcher' no need to bloody review-rape me over it. Gods. Not my fault y'know, not alot of people know how to spell it. I'm sorry I spelt ONE thing wrong. NO FLAMES - do you understand?

LOVE YAAAAAA!

Midnight-chan! :D
