First off, a disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or it's characters, I only own my own characters and storyline.

Second of all, this is the second to last chapter of the current arc, so enjoy.


9. Sasuke Escapes! Kyuubi-Form Naruto's Rage!

Sakura stood by the door of the Hokage's office to listen in on the conversation that was going on between Tsunade and the two ANBU ninja that she saw while leaving. Usually she wouldn't be nosey like this, but something inside Sakura told her to go and listen out of sheer curiosity. She concentrated hard to hear the voices.

"Tsunade-sama," began on of the ANBU, "We followed Naruto and his team like you asked to see he actually went."

'What? Tsunade didn't trust Naruto to go?' Sakura thought somewhat surprised at Tsunade.

"Usually the baka will go, but something told me he might not since he didn't want the mission, but arigato. You're dismissed." Tsunade said.

"Wait Tsunade-sama, there's more." said the other ANBU.

"Oh, is that so?" asked Tsunade.

"We followed him into the village after aWaterfall Ninja asked Naruto and his Genin assistance in stopping a missing-nin from attacking their village." Spoke the first ANBU member.

"Go on."

"Well it turned out that missing-nin was none other than Uchiha Sasuke."

Sakura gasped but quickly covered her mouth hoping Tsunade nor the two ANBU hear her.


Naruto, with his red, fox-like eyes and red Chakra flowing around his body, he stared at Sasuke with great evil and anger.

"You will pay." repeated the demonic sounding Naruto.

"Well bring it." Sasuke said trying to rile Naruto up some more. Naruto didn't waste any time and started running around Naruto at a super high speed.

"His normal speed has increased after that red Chakra took over." Hiroshi pointed out.

"Naruto-sensei is truly amazing." Shiro added.

"Yeah but this form of Naruto-sensei is kind of scarey." Himawari spoke up.

"Is that all you going to do? Run around in circles?" Sasuke asked.

No answer came from Naruto as he stopped slide behind Sasuke and kicked him the back causing him to rocket into the air. Naruto then appeared in front of Sasuke and began punching him in the stomach forcing Sasuke higher into the air. Finally, Naruto did almost the seemingly impossible, twirled into the air to land a kick across Sasuke's face. The force of the kick just knocked him into the branches of the big tree. Sasuke broke through some of the branches finally coming to a stop after hitting a real thick and large branch. Sasuke hit the branch hard and couldn't move for a bit and just went numb. A few minutes past and finally feeling had returned in his body and he got up slowly.

"That's it, I'm done for, I'm getting out of here." Sasuke said to himself and escaped by going inside the tree.

Naruto, still in his first stage Kyuubi form waited on the ground for a good few minutes before growing impatient.

"Sasuke, where are you?" he yelled up at the tree in his demonic voice. "Don't tell you went and died on me when I was beginning to have fun."

"What you said earlier, Himawari-chan," Hiroshi said, "You're right, this side of Naruto-sensei is scary."

Himawari just nodded, she was getting more frightened then ever.

'This Naruto, he's definitely not the same person before that red Chakra.' Contemplated the brown-haired Kuniochi who was still hanging on Shibuki's body and still weeped ever so often.

"Fine, if you won't come down, I'll just have to go up there and get you down." said Naruto and quickly appeared on the tree and began searching the branches. He searched and searched until he saw a path of broken limbs.

"That must be where his body flew through." Naruto said to himself and followed to the end where he stopped at a huge thick branch. "Well the trail ends here."

"Where are you teme?" yelled the blonde Shinobi in his demonic voice. "Quit being pathetic and come out here and fight me!"

Silence, no response at all, just where did Sasuke go? The thought went through his enraged mind. Then he saw one of the entrances to inside the tree and it clicked, he went down the tree to hide in the water. Naruto's rage increased once more.

"I'm coming to get you, you bastard!" yelled the really pissed off Naruto and jumped into the lake and swam around a bit, looking for Sasuke.


"Are you sure it was the Uchiha?" asked a reluctant Tsunade. She didn't want to believe she possibly sent Naruto to his death by accident. Then again, she should of known where ever Itachi was, Sasuke wouldn't be too far behind.

'Naruto could be fighting Sasuke? The first time, Naruto almost died. The second time he wasn't as bad, but he was still bed ridden for a week.' Sakura thought with fear. Over the years she grew attached to the blonde-haired knuckle headed ninja. He was her best friend, and if he died, she didn't want to think about it.

"We did watch some of the battle, we believe Naruto will make it. Sasuke was taking quite a beating before we left to tell you." The ANBU spoke up.

"Let's all hope so."

'Naruto, please be okay.' Sakura worried in her mind, she did not want her best friend to come home dead.


Naruto flashed out of the water looking around the entire vicinity to find any traces of the Uchiha. He came up with nothing.

"Where the hell are you teme? Quit hiding from you bastard." yelled Naruto

"You know, if your sensei can't find that Sasuke guy, he must of escaped through the tree." the Kunoichi said.

"What do you mean?" asked Himawari.

"The tree is hollow inside and acts as an escape route from the village to the waterfall." The Kuniochi replied. "He probably used it to get away from Naruto."

"Naruto-sensei, it's no use, Sasuke escaped." Hiroshi yelled out. Naruto wasn't listening, he was too busy scanning around for any trace of his opponent.

"Where are you?" Naruto kept repeating. "Where the hell are you?"

"It's no use." Shiro spoke, "He's too bent on trying to find Sasuke. I'm starting to think that's not really Naruto, but whatever that red Chakra is."

"Shiro-kun, what are you saying?" asked a slightly confused Himawari.

"I'm saying Naruto's being possessed by something." answered Shiro.

"Possessed?" questioned Hiroshi, "Are you sure?"

"I think so." Shiro answered, "Since that red Chakra began flowing out of him, Naruto-sensei attitude changed to something completely different."

Naruto continued his enraged search for his 'cowardly opponent'. He began crashing through some of the homes, bashing in walls and roofs and even trashing some.

"He's starting to go through the homes and tearing them up." said the brown-haired woman, "We got to do something to calm him down."

"Sasuke, where did you go you coward!" yelled Naruto over and over again. "Show yourself."

Hiroshi decided it was enough and decided to step in and try to calm Naruto down himself. Himawari noticed him walking over to Naruto.

"Hiroshi-kun, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to see if I can calm Naruto-sensei down." Hiroshi replied as he approached Naruto. Naruto was still breaking through homes trying to find the lost Uchiha when Hiroshi got in front of him.

"Naruto-sensei, you have to calm down." Hiroshi began, "You're tearing up the village for someone that isn't here anymore."

"Get out of my way." Naruto said, clearly whatever was possessing Naruto, he didn't exactly know who the kid was.

"Naruto-sensei, please stop this madness" Hiroshi began to plead. Naruto didn't waste any time and pushed Hiroshi out of the way. It was hard, just enough to get him out of Naruto's way so he could continue his rampage search.

"Damn it Sasuke, where did you get to?"

"Hiroshi-kun, are you okay?" Himawari said after she ran to him.

"Yeah I'm fine; he just kind of pushed me out of the way."

"So I was right, that isn't the Naruto-sensei we know." Shiro added, "It's something completely different."

"I think you're right Shiro, he looked as if he didn't know me at all." Hiroshi said while getting up, "But I have to try again, it's the only way to get through to him."

Once again he approached Naruto to try and see if he could get through to him. He was brave enough and stood in front of Naruto again.

Naruto sighed, "You again?" Hiroshi nodded, "Kid, get out of my way."

"Naruto-sensei, stop it. You're destroying a village and terrifying innocent people." Hiroshi said with a serious tone, "Get it together or…" Hiroshi was cut off when Naruto slammed his arm into him to shove him out of the way, this time it was much harder than the light shove from earlier. Hiroshi slammed into the ground and screamed in pain. Somehow, Hiroshi's painful scream snapped Naruto back into his senses. His eyes returned to their usual blue color. The red Chakra that was surrounding Naruto's body had completely disappeared and his fingernails weren't claws anymore. Naruto looked at Hiroshi, who he slammed into the ground then looked at his own hands as they were filled with the guilt, then he began looking around the village that he began to tear up.

"What have I done?" Naruto said as he began to sob a bit. Himawari and Shiro stared in shock at the scene that had unfolded.

"I did it again." Naruto continued talking to himself while crying. "Every time I let that beast out, I end up hurting someone I do not intend to."

"At least Naruto-sensei is back to normal." Shiro finally said. Himawari nodded.


Until next time, goodbye.
