Chapter 4 – The Last Pure Sunset

Kakashi ran until he arrived back at where he just was with his two students. He looked around trying to see if he could sense where they were. He climbed to the tree closest to him when he felt something overwhelming.

Dammit Naruto.

Kakashi took off, going towards the immense chakra.

Hope I make it in time.


The leader did all he could to dodge Naruto's relentless attacks even though he was terrified by the raging beast. The others could hardly move as they watched the monstrous fox continue to attack its prey.

"Damn fools get the seal!" The leader screamed towards his men.

One ninja searched each of their bags trying to find the chakra sapping seal.

"Found it boss!" He said while throwing it at his leader.

"NARUTO WATCH OUT!" Sasuke screamed, still pulling against the ropes that held him.

The leader caught the seal as Naruto's attacks pinned his back to a tree.

"Control yourself you dumbass." The leader spat in Naruto's face as he slammed the seal to Naruto's stomach.

"AHH!" Naruto screamed as he fell back onto the ground; his orange glow fading.

"NARUTO!"

"Don't worry I'll let you watch, kid." The leader said with a grin, dragging Naruto over to the rope, held by his followers.


Unable to move, Naruto couldn't stop the rouge ninja's from binding his arms. Sasuke looked around, trying to find something to cut his rope, as he tried to sit back up. The leader sat Naruto down next to Sasuke and looked between the two. Both young ninja's glared back.

"I see. You two must be friends." The leader concluded.

Naruto cut his glare off at the leader to look at Sasuke. It hurt him to see Sasuke in this state.

"I'm sorry Sasuke." Naruto whispered.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and nodded.

"We have to get out of here Naruto. I don't want them to-" Sasuke's sentence was cut off as he was lifted up onto the leader's shoulder.

"HEY! PUT HIM DOWN!" Naruto hollered at his back.

"Shut it kid and enjoy the show." The leader winked at Naruto as his sinister smile grew.

"Show?" Naruto asked.

Naruto looked at the others their face held a strong look of excitement that gave him more confusion. He then looked at Sasuke. He was placed across from Naruto and was surrounded by the four ninjas. Naruto locked his gaze with his friend's. Sasuke's eyes were almost pleading as horror filled his body.

Naruto…

Naruto continued to stare at Sasuke completely shocked that he could get so scared. He wasn't sure what was going on or what was going to happen, but he knew he had to get free. He had to get Sasuke out of here.


Kakashi stopped in his tracks as the merciless chakra faded. He turned around, scoping out his surroundings. He was sure he felt it fade quicker than it should've. Almost like it was shut off.

Dammit Naruto. What happened?

He continued running towards where he last felt the chakra.

I hope I make it in time.


The leader walked over to Sasuke and untied his headband. He then made his way to Naruto and untied his headband.

"What are you doing?!" Naruto asked.

"I'll need one of these for the show. The other one is just a souvenir for myself." The leader chuckled as he approached Sasuke.

The young ninja tried to back away as far as he could until his back met another ninja. He slowly looked up and met the sick grin of another rouge ninja. The leader only laughed as he tied Naruto's headband around Sasuke's mouth. Naruto flinched as his anger grew at the sight.

"There we go. Can't have you being too loud." He said while tying Sasuke's headband around his own head.

"Let's begin before the sun goes down." The leader commanded.

Naruto looked away from his friend as he locked his gaze with the fading sunset…he never thought this scene would forever be imprinted in his mind.


(A/N) EDITED. Yes, let us begin with the "fun." Can't believe this was the first Naruto Fanfiction I wrote. It's slightly dark, I feel. Ah well...if you've read anything else of mine...you can clearly tell I have a twisted mind. Tehe. Anyways...please REVIEW :)
