Chapter 4: Sakura blossoms.

This beast was probably the mother of the smaller 25 ft beast. Naruto and Ashe took their stance.

"Do we really stand a chance? Against this massive beast? The smaller one blew Kakashi away!! Litterally." Ashe pondered.

"Run!!!" naruto shouted. The 40ft devil roared sending shockwaves blowing away the two other ninjas.

Everyone was outside. Ashe, naruto, and Kakashi. All lathered completely with scars and cuts and bathed with blood. Kakashi didn't think they stood a chance.

"If we don't stand a chance, how do you expect us to overcome the challenges on the grand line? If there's a strong monster here, there's a stronger monster there!" Ashe complained. He made a point.

"There was two screams. A man's and a woman's. Who do you think they were? And they were coming from below us." Kakashi pointed out.

"So is the hospital" naruto said.

Ashe jumped off the floor. "C'mon! Sasuke and sakura are in trouble. They were the screams. And the MTU, I think the T stands for torture!" and with that, Ashe dashed away forcing naruto and Kakashi to follow.

They were down the mountain and they could hear the wails of the beast on the top of the mountain.

"What did you do? What did you disturb?" A Polar bear said.

"Make it stop!" A giant penguin said.

Moans and groans were everywhere. "Inside the hospital. NOW." Naruto commanded. They all ran in. Gaspard, the little bastard, was walking across the main room with a big scalpel in his fin. He then went into a room labeled ICU. They ignored him for the time bring. Then Kakashi and the others met up into a room the said MTU. They bashed themselves in. it was a surprisingly big room with stone sides. It stood out from the other walls as they were white. These were gray. Also, there were 5 Boards on the wall with handcuffs stuck to the wall. That must've been where the torture took place.

"Why do they do this kind of sin?" Ashe said. And just in time, Sakuke went in followed by a really big walrus. Gaspard! Naruto and everyone else hid. Sasuke raised his head in confusion. Then he got a face full of flipper. Gaspard tied up Sasuke to the wall. "Where is Sakura?" Sasuke said.

"I do not know." Gaspard replied.

"You bastard!"

"I try" and then Gaspard placed the scalpel on Sasuke's right leg. He pushed harder and went through the abdominal tissue. Blood splattered out of the leg onto the floor and Gaspards face. Sasuke writhed in pain squirming with tons of force. His chakra bands have been surgically removed. It was a first for naruto, but He may have saw Sasuke.

"GYAAAHHHH. Naruto, Help me!" Sasuke shouted.

"Yes naruto. Why aren't you doing anything? Gaspard said. Then he looked their direction. Gaspard had another serious look on his face. He was evil. Naruto was right. Naruto peeked over the direction to where sasuke was. Then he leaned over and threw up.

Sasuke was in the worst condition ever. Naruto ha seen nothing like it. Green bumps the size of baby tangerines were on his face, his skin a pale whitish green, his fingernails were black, he was just terrible. Naruto felt so bad. Now he had a reason to murder gaspard. He wanted revenge.

"Gaspard, What did you do to him" naruto shouted.

"Like the new look? I've injected a SLIT in his body. I'm hoping it works." Gaspard menaced.

"SLIT?" Kakashi asked.

"It stands for 'Syvascuar Lining Incision Torture.' It basically means over a 5-day period of time, he'll get worse and worse. This is the first stage. As you see here. I slit his leg to see any improvement. And there was. The second day, he goes into a seizure while one of his arm doesn't move. This means that his veins and nerves will still be working and so the victim will feel massive pain. The third day, He's always hungry and thirsty because the stomach shrinks and the water thingy holds less water."

"Shut up and free sasuke" Ashe blurted out.

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Gaspard said. He wiped the blood off his face and pulled two swords off the walls.

"That is so not ninja like." Naruto said.

Gaspard was quite the challenger. He was fat and mushy on the outside, but at closer inspection, he was a lean, mean fighting machine. His arms, er fins were swinging like crazy, but like he knew what he was doing. He approached naruto and swung so fast that the sword caught on fire.

"Whoa that could've been me. I wonder if I taste that good. I think i'd be better off baked." naruto said.

"Save me. I think I can still fight." Sasuke shouted.

"No." kakashi commanded as he dodged a blade. "You have the SLIT in your body. Who knows what it can do after certain strenuous activity."

Kakashi had a point. If the SLIT reacted to muscles tightening, it may result in a compulsory disorder and vomit may be everywhere.

"Rasengan!" naruto blasted a rasengan directly through Gaspards guard full force and smacked him in the nose. He was spiraling loose into sasuke. As quick reaction, Kakashi dashed in there and took the full force of the hit making sure that Sasuke wouldn't take the blast and get into more pain. Now Gaspard was pissed.

"Augh. You lousy little brats." Gaspard said. " Voia, come to my heed." Nothing happened. "Voia. VOIA. Hmm. Hey, have you seen Voia? He was in that cave I sent you to. Small 20ft beast."

"We killed him." Ashe said. "I killed Him."

Gaspard Gasped." My litle Voia. my sweet, sweet Voia. Dead. I'll make you pay for that. Augundea, Come hither." Gaspard shouted. 'Augundea' Crashed into the MTU with great force. So much force that it destroyed the brace holding sasuke in.

"Augundea? Is that…" Ashe asked.

"I think it is." naruto said.

The beast looked at Gaspard, who pointed at Naruto and Ashe. Augundea became red with fury and without thinking, blew fire everywhere. It billowed off the walls and burned the straps of the torturing tables. Then Augundea went on a rampage. Not a normal temper tantrum, but a "I-want-to-destroy-everything-in-my-path-including-those-who-killed-my-baby" type of tantrum. She smashed through the sides of the walls and everything became destroyed. The torturing chamber, the ICU room, health room, everything. It was total mayhem. And poor kakashi, laying on the floor. Motionless. He may pass for being dead. His clothes still scorched on fire. It was so sad. Naruto was staring in awe and was blown out of the Xpital. Before you know it, the whole Dome was reduced to ash and rubble. And the beast stood upon it. Now it was even harder to kill. The white, cold breeze caught up with The ninjas and shivered. Kakashi is mostly dead and unconscious, the beast had free movement, and Ashe was almost gone. Sasuke's weak, and Naruto's a retard. What hope do they have?

"Kill them!" Gaspard commanded. "They destroyed my precious dome. And my swords." He heaved another sword, this time, bigger than Gaspard and Naruto's height combined. "I will take care of the Orange Ninja. You take care of the other one."

Gaspard heaved the sword like it weighed 5 pounds, but it must've weighed bigger than that. He swung and swung again. Then, he gashed Naruto. Blood leaked out of his shirt.

"That's called 1000 cuts to heaven. You have just taken your first cut. 999 more."

"Geez, how can you alone heave a heavy sword like that and not make a big cut? I knew I should've paid more attention in physics class." Naruto groaned.

Meanwhile, on Ashe's side, the beast was on a two bitten horse galloping rampage. Whatever that means. It was hopping here and there. Blowing fire everywhere it stood, but like a B ninja, he dodged every shot. By the time the beast stopped shooting fire, three houses were burned down. Each family had children. The 3 families were running away, fearing the worst. The beast raised his foot and attempted to stomp on Ashe and Sasuke. Sasuke became tired. He started to be slower, and slower. Until he fell to the ground. Ashe was already preoccupied with this beast and actually stepped on Sasuke before he had his attention. Sasuke was out cold. Either that, or he was unconscious. Ashe grabbed Sasuke and quickly dashed somewhere safe. He laid him down and clenched his hands into balls of fists.

" Genshyu Taiko, flame wave jutsu." Ashe shouted and a cyclone of wind appeared around the beast and Ashe. The beast stood there in confusion and hadn't reacted for the winds turning hotter, and hotter. It was a burning 500 degrees and the orange beasts fur and reached a golden crispy brown. It looked good enough to eat. I'm hungry too.

Now the beast was kneeling on the floor panting. It's eyes were turning sad and full of tears. And then, the beast sobbed. It was loud. Very loud. It could be heard from around the island. Then, for the first time, Augundea spoke

"Me baby. Dead. You kill. Why?"

"Because Gaspard tricked us into thinking you were the bad guy. If we'd actually known, we wouldn't have done such a crime. I apologize for your losses." Ashe said in calm, soothing voice.

" Gaspard? What Gaspard?"

"The walrus."

"Oh. Walrus. Lemme lone." Augundea said. He got up and started waddling toward the top of the mountain. This got Gaspard's attention.

Gaspard clashed his sword into the ground and shouted " Augundea, you creep. Where the hell do you think you're going. Hey, come back here. That's an order."

The beast turned around, eye's red with fury again and shot a ball of fire straight at him. As fast as lightning, Gaspard brought out his sword from the ground and swung it at the fireball. The fireball exploded into embers. It was like Gaspard could command fire because he swung his sword forward and all of the flame went toward Augundea. Each one with accuracy, hit the poor beast. And what's worse, started an avalanche.

"Oh no. Sasuke. Kakashi! Quickly, Grab them and head for the ship. It's our only chance left!" Ashe commanded.

"What about Sakura?" Naruto shouted over the rumbles of the snow coming down onto them.

"Bwahahahahahahaha. Sakura? The spunky, stupid ichthyoidal* girl? She's dead. One swipe of my sword and she was a goner. I couldn't do tests on her. She was gone so fast." Gaspard snickered.

Naruto was crying. He was lucky Sasuke and Kakashi was unconscious. "Go to hell" Naruto sobbed. "GO TO HELL"

"Well then. I'll see you there." Gaspard said.

"Quickly, we don't have much time. Cry on the ship. I know it's a great loss, but I don't want to die as well." Ashe said.

They took off on the ship. The avalanche was wiped over the city and destroyed everything and everyone on there. All of those innocent lives are gone. And one evil one as well.

Sasuke and Kakashi came too about 250 yards away from the island. For their sake, naruto wiped up tears. Sasuke asked "Sakura! Where is her body? Did you get it?"

"Body? What are you talking about?" kakashi said.

"It's terrible." Sasuke broke into tears. Naruto has always dreamed of this moment to see Sasuke sobbing like that, but not like in this situation. "Sakura's dead. She's dead."

Naruto reduced himself to tears again too. Kakashi wasn't crying at all. In fact, he was smiling.

"Let's go to the grand line. As I recall, Bob sailed the grand like too. He met an island he called revival springs. It's said at the price of one's riches, will you get the most wealthiest prize of all. And I think that's life. It's a shot. We can try." Kakashi said.

"Lets do it then. It's out only shot at it." Naruto said. Ans they sailed farther away from the island that will be the source of their nightmares.
