Life is cruel. When you think you are at the top of your game, everything comes tumbling down. That's happened to be several times. Growing up and recently. When I think the war is at the top and is soon going to end, it doesn't. When will the war end? I have no idea. I wish it would end soon.

I was lying on the table after being controlled by Sasuke again. I had made a plan with the Kyuubi earlier and I was escaping. Today was my day. I was leaving this place and never coming back. My eyes were closed and I was running the plan through my head. The Kyuubi had already healed my wounds but Nagisa would be coming in soon. She was key to my escape.

The door opened and I tried to pretend I was asleep. Nagisa very rarely talked to me since I first met her. She only said a few words to me if I was awake. The majority of the time I wasn't awake. Sasuke was having me controlled longer and I would destroy more villages. I opened my eyes and saw Nagisa staring at me confused. "You have no wounds." She stated.

I was suddenly behind her with a kunai to her throat. I was still making kunai. I no longer made the molds but the actual kunai. She stood still saying nothing. "You are helping me escape."

"No one has ever escaped before." I pressed the blade harder on her neck.

"There is a first for everything." Nagisa remained silent. "You will do what I say. If we run into Sasuke, you are to remain silent. If you don't I will kill you." I would have used Hiraishin to escape but having not used chakra in eight and half years, it would be hard to control. I was also pretty sure my chakra networks have been damaged from having the Kyuubi controlled and various other injuries I had sustained over the years. Injuries I don't want to remember how I got them. I walked out the door and down the hallway. I had memorized the route to the front entrance. If that didn't work then I would I have to bust through the wall.

I could see the door. I had my ticket out. I was getting out of here. I was hoping the team was outside waiting for me. I had contacted Tsunade through Kyuubi and told her the general area of where I was. The memories of being the Kyuubi were coming back slowly. Hopefully they were here.

I stepped foot out the door. That was too easy. No guards had been around. No one came to stop us. I looked behind me to see a sword running at me. I didn't have enough time to move. The sword pierced my left arm. I dropped my grip on Nagisa. She ran back into the base. Most likely to get Sasuke. There was no way I was going to win. Not with the amount of food, water, and labor I had been put through in the last eight and a half years. I looked behind me hoping to see the team. I saw a nin-dog. Only Kakashi summoned them. I turned back and smiled at the guard. He then charged at me and I stood my ground.

"Stop." The guard stopped. I looked to see who said that. Sasuke walked out with Nagisa. "Naruto, I'm surprised you used my wife like that. You hurt her. I'm going to hurt you."

"You think she's your wife?" I asked. "She doesn't even love you!"

Sasuke stopped and looked at me. "I don't believe you."

"You should. The only reason she is staying with you is to live. Ask her." I folded my arms across my chest.

"Nagisa-chan? Is that true?" Sasuke asked her.

"No it's not Sasuke-kun, why would anyone do that?" Nagisa asked hugging Sasuke. It took all the strength I had not to shout at Nagisa.

"Nagisa, you lied to me then. I know what I saw. You don't love him. I can see it in your eyes." I growled.

"Sasuke, can you please keep him quite. His rather annoying." Nagisa muttered into Sasuke's ear.

"Anything for you love," Sasuke said kissing Nagisa on the lips.

"Naruto, let us take this," A voice called out. I looked behind me to see Kakashi, Yamato, Shikamaru, and Hana, Kiba's older sister.

"Kakashi-sensei!" I smiled. They probably didn't recognize me. My hair was past my shoulders, I wore no shirt, I was so skinny you could see my ribs. I was as pale as snow.

"Hana, take Naruto." Kakashi instructed raising his headband up. Hana ran over and grabbed my arm.

"Naruto, you must come with me. Your arm is bleeding badly. I need to stop the bleeding," Hana insisted. I had forgotten about the wound on my arm.

"No, I have unfinished business. If I have lasted eight and a half years without medical attention, I can last a little longer." I said pulling away.

"That is not true. I healed you every time Naruto. If I wasn't for me, you would have died when Sasuke first started controlling the Kyuubi." Nagisa growled.

I said nothing and attacked Nagisa. She didn't see it coming. I still had the kunai in my hand. I stabbed at Nagisa right where her heart was. The blade went into her chest and stayed there. Nagisa looked shocked at me. Nagisa fell backwards and Sasuke tackled me. We both ran into the wall and it broke. We went through one more. My breath left me and I felt ribs crack. I was gasping for air. Sasuke stood up and yanked my up by my hair. "Naruto, you will pay for that. If you weren't the Kyuubi's container and I didn't need you to win the war, I would kill you." Sasuke made a signal and guards poured out of the camp. I heard Kakashi call back a retreat. I was alone again. If only the war would end.

XxXxXx

Thwack

I gasped as I was hit with a wooden pole. I wanted the pain to end. I was being hit over and over. It hadn't stopped since I was chained to the wall. I was hanging from the ceiling. The cut on my arm bleed freely. I was black and blue and my chest was swollen. The ribs that were cracked were even more damaged then before. Soon, they were punching me. They thought I was a punching bag.

Sasuke walked into the room. "Naruto, you will learn your lesson. You killed my wife. The only one who had ever loved me." Sasuke growled.

"Do you really think Nagisa loved you?" I was gasping for my breath.

Sasuke punched me in the mouth. I heard something pop. I assumed it was my jaw. I spit out blood onto Sasuke. Sasuke growled and punched me in the stomach. I was gasped and doubled over as much as I could while chained to the ceiling. "Naruto, I could easily kill you in one move. Don't make me mad." Sasuke spat at me. Did I think he would kill me? Yes. Would he? I didn't know.

"Sasuke, you have changed into a heartless bastard," I muttered. I was punched again.

"Naruto, you are the one who has changed."

"No. I am the same. You are the one who has changed. You kill people for no reason. Do you think I would do that?" I asked.

"But Naruto, you are doing that!" Sasuke laughed.

"No I am not. You are. You are the one controlling me. I have no control over my actions. I'm not the one murdering everyone. You are." I growled.

"How is it me? I'm not the one with the Kyuubi inside of me," Sasuke crossed his arms over his chest. I felt blood hit the top of my head. I felt blood trickle out of my mouth. My chest was pounding in pain. My ribs burned. Sasuke had done all of this to me.

"You are one who fucked up my life Sasuke. You are the one who has almost killed me more than once. You are the one killing everyone. You are the one controlling me. You are the one who put these bloody seals on me. You are the one who is killing everyone. If it wasn't for you, all these people wouldn't have died. All these people would have families, have lives. But you Sasuke caused everyone not to. Because you are greedy and selfish and you only think about yo--" I gasped as Sasuke pulled out his sword and stabbed me in the stomach.

"Naruto, you are going to die. I'm not going to let anyone save you. Or heal you. Do you really think I killed everyone? No Naruto. You have. I wasn't the one controlling the Kyuubi, you were." Sasuke turned to leave. "Take him to a room. Let him die alone." Sasuke then left the room and I slipped into the darkness.
