Chapter 7: The Battle For Naruto Part 1
Author Note: The story shifts into various characters' point of view
The villagers of Kotonoha have realized the true danger of the Naruto Kyuubi assaults. Ever since Naruto broken the seal Tsunade had put on him, every time Naruto was in
Plain view, people were slaughtered, and buildings laid in ruin. During this time, the people of Konoha NEVER walked the streets. This is one of Konoha's darkest moments
Sasuke's Point of view:
Word had gotten out about what was happening in Konoha. Sasuke could not believe this news and always avoided training with Orichimaru to go to his room and think. The ranks of Orichimaru have grown immensely from 3 people to hundreds and thousands of shinobi while they were on there trip.
Sasuke had entered Orichimaru's room in high concern. Even though he betrayed his village, he did not want anything to happen to it.
" I didn't know Naruto was capable of that kind of devastation. Anyway I've got to stop it before it's too late" A determined Sasuke said to himself. He entered the room as quietly as he could to prevent any signs of disrespect.
" Good to see you Sasuke-kun. What would you like?" The snake king Orichimaru said as he rested in his king sized bed.
Sasuke hesitated at first then said, " During the raid on Konoha, what exactly will you be looking for?"
" I've trust that you have heard about the demon boy roaming the place?" Orichimaru asked.
Sasuke nodded and replied, " Yes I have, wish it were not true."
" I'm going to capture Naruto and use his Kyubbi an important experiment I have yet to try." He said.
" What kind of experiment?" Sasuke said in curiosity.
" Now that is a secret my pet." Orichimaru replied.
" Why cant I or Kabuto do it? That would be easier and less riskier." Sasuke asked.
" Why all the questions all of a sudden? I thought you left your village without any intent to go back." Orichimaru said.
Sasuke was slightly discouraged in continuing his Q&A, but did anyway.
" Just curious." Sasuke said.
Sasuke exited the room and headed back to his quarters. He knew he could not let this happen, but what exactly is he going to do to prevent it?
Akatsuki's point of view:
A group of ghastly figures surrounded a huge oval shaped table. Discussing plans abut the Kyubbi.
" We must obtain the Kyubbi before the other factions do. It is vital to do the plan!" A figure shouted.
" We are very skilled Shinobi, we will be able to dispatch any person that comes are way. Don't worry yourself Deidara." A figure with red, spinning eyes said.
" We know that we are skilled, but with that, will that be enough? Shouldn't we get there as early as we can?" A man with a large venus flytrap enveloping his body said.
" And also we cannot forget that the Kyubbi is a very devasting force. We should not take it lightly." A man with several piercings running through his face said.
"I agree with all your concerns, and we have already thought up of the scenarios. We have thought this through". A figure shouted.
Sakura's point of view
Sakura had been careful in her trip back to Tsunade's office. She was worried about Naruto but at the same time she feared him. She does not know what was going on with him but she intends to find out.
Sakura knocked on the door and entered Tsunade's office with a worried expression on her face.
" Sakura, Is something troubling you?" Tsunade asked out of curiosity.
Sakura grabbed all the courage she could muster and replied " I came to ask you about Naruto. What's happening to him?
" I don't…know." Tsunade said.
" I think you do". Sakura said without any hesitation.
Tsunade grew an angry expression on her face. Shed did not take kindly to back talk.
"Excuse me, I did not quite catch that." Tsunade said out of disbelief.
Sakura was slightly discouraged by Tsunade's tone. But continued the conversation because she knew she must find out what was wrong with Naruto.
Tsunade replied, " Look, I'll tell you what you need to know, but please don't ever back sass me…ever." She then began to frown
Sakura had nodded and a sweat drop rolled down her forehead. She hoped that she would never have to do something like that again.
" Naruto's Jinchūriki has been… how do I say it…. infected by something…or someone somehow. Tsunade explained.
" How do you think this happened". Sakura wondered.
" It seems that the kyubbi was… attacked from within." Tsunade struggled to say.
" But isnt the kyubbi sealed within him? How can a spirit be attacked?" Sakura asked.
" I don't know…I couldn't find anything. The only thing I noticed is the scar on his chest. It…just…. Made me feel uncomfortable.
" I didn't notice any scar? What are you talki-" Sakura was about to say until Tsunade pushed Sakura out.
Just what was Tsunade hididng? What the hell was wrong with Naruto? Sakura let these questions roam around her head but did not intend to leave them like that. She wanted answers. But where would she get them?
Suddenly, an explosion was heard outside. Sakura went out and ran to it and was horrified.
" Its….Its…..you!" Sakura shouted.
(( Sorry for the wait, I sort of had writers block.))
