It was the Truth Chapter 4

A Naruto/ NaruSaku fan fiction

"people speaking"

'thoughts'

I'll see the two of you when I crush Konoha to the ground. When every Hokage on that goddamned mountain is in crumbles. When that damn statue of the First Hokage in the Valley of End is crushed. All that will be left is the statue of Uchiha.

Soon, Uchiha is all that will be left in the Village Hidden in the Leaf.

"Good bye, Team 7," Sasuke whispered mockingly to them.

Without another word, Sasuke took out a kunai with a paper bomb stuck on it, activated it, and then threw at the ground quite close to the shinobi. With that, Team Hawk took off into the woods.

"Sasuke-kuuuuuuuuuun, why didn't you let us kill them when you just bombed them?" Karin whined as Team Hawk leaped from tree to tree. Sasuke made no sign that he heard her, just kept leaping further and further away.

"God, Karin you are an idiot!" Suigetsu snorted, full of laughter. "The bombs were made for us to escape. He knew they'd survive the bombs and get away. He wouldn't kill them. Especially not Sakura," he added in sneakily, knowing this would make Karin jealous.

"WHAT?! Sasuke-kun doesn't like that pinky, Sakura," she shrieked back.

"They all share a bond," Suigetsu shot back wickedly.

Sasuke's eyes widened when he heard that and he turned around furiously.

"Enough! My feelings for my old team should be of no importance to you. I have cut off every bond made to me in my life. Bonds are an advantage for the enemy, and must be severed," he stated quietly

Time seemed to crawl by when the kunai was flung. Both of them saw it, but refused to break eye contact with Sasuke. Sasuke broke the eye contact and fled. Naruto grabbed Sakura's arm and yanked her back. The two of them ran fast. But the bomb caught them. With a thunderous roar, it exploded. The force threw each one in separate directions blinding them. Wood, leaves, and rocks, hit them hard. Sakura was hurled far to the east flying straight through many trees before hitting the ground. Her hands were protectively covering her face to avoid damage. Naruto managed to avoid the trees, but still hit the ground really hard.

Sakura groaned as she got up. Leaves and twigs were sticking to her. Many shards of wood jutted out from her skin, caked with blood.

'Sasuke, have you really changed this much? Were my feelings really of no use? Was I wasting my time?' Sakura thought sadly, while yanking out each piece of wood and then healing her arm.

She walked a little ways, and then found Naruto. He was a mess. Blood dripped down his face and a long gash on his back had torn up most of his jumpsuit. What was worse was his expression. Furious rage just under the surface. He looked almost feral. She finished healing herself. Knowing she had almost no chakra left, she popped a soldier pill into her mouth and approached Naruto. He held up one hand stopping her.

"Not now, Sakura-chan. We can still follow them from here, I have their scent. We'll drag them back," he finished in a growl.

"No."

"What!" Furious disbelief colored his face.

"Naruto, we have to get this information to the Hokage. The village needs to be prepared."

"No, we leave now,"

"Naruto, they need to know about Sas- his plan,"

"Sakura-chan, please let's go," he said, trying to calm down.

"Naruto, listen, the village has got to be prepared," she replied.

"You see, this your problem. Always thinking of how to prepare yourself. You need to act, not think. If we catch them, then the village won't need to be bloody prepared. Now shut up and let's get the hell out of here!" he finished, his voice almost at a shout, anger at the situation getting a hold of him.

Naruto had never spoken like this to her. She noticed that his eyes seemed redder than usual, and teeth were definitely longer.

"Naruto, we can't just jump rashly into this. The village needs to find out. We need to prepare our ANBU and jounin, now let's go home," her voice pleadingly calm.

"NO! I'm not going to let Sasuke have even a chance at attacking my village. I don't want people to die. Why can't you get that into your head? Okay, how about you go back to the village and I stay?" he shot back.

Oh yes, his teeth were much longer, and his whiskers stood out more on his face.

'Perfect, Naruto's going to get Kyuubified. Shit. Gotta get him to calm down,' Sakura thought anxiously.

"Naruto, we are not abandoning each other and splitting up, now please calm down," she answered soothingly. Naruto wasn't having any of it.

"Sakura, I have to do this, I have to—," he was cut off by Sakura, who decided as the situation was pretty much in flames, to use her trump card. She stepped forward, and put her hand on his deeply indented whiskers. It was warm, hot even, but she kept her cold hand placed there.

"Naruto, if you were Hokage, wouldn't you want to be warned of an attack on your village? Wouldn't you want to get a chance to protect your villagers?" she asked really softly.

His face was clouded with indecision. But, finally, his eyes calmed down and his whiskers dimmed. He breathed deeply, and nodded.

'Stupid idiot. She's right. I can't lose my temper that quickly, I am such a--,' Naruto was thinking, but was suddenly interrupted.

Sakura smiled, took down her hand, and reached up and gently kissed his cheek where the deep whiskers and her hand had previously been. Then she healed his wounds, before the two shinobi headed back to the village to warn their Hokage of a possibly fatal attack on the village.

(A/N: Just so ya'll know, I'm not trying to make Naruto look like some kid with anger management issues who yells at his teammate, but he just realized that his friend is going to destroy all that he loves, so I think he'd be pretty angry. DRAMA! But, this was an important argument for them to have. I think they should be able to understand each other more before getting together. Oh, and sorry for SasuSaku implications, I like a jealous Karin, but rest assured, this is a NaruSaku fan fiction. READ AND REVIEW :D)
