Sleepless D: I hope you all enjoy this, keep reading and reviewing please. Peace out.
Team 7 and Hinata were travelling along to where Sakura claimed that the meeting place that Sasori was going to have contact with his spy. The meeting place was at a rope bridge that stood over a very deep chasm with a river flowing across the bottom. Hinata had them make a small trip off track and found a small temple that seemed to have been abandoned for years, it was filled with dust and several skeletons were found in there. Naruto didn't like the place since he kept thinking that it might be haunted; they found the item that Hinata was looking for. Hinata carried a large, black metal piece with a sharp edge, nothing else was found in the temple since they all rotted and ruined.
Flashback
Team 7 and Hinata stood outside a white, stone temple, it stood several feet from the ground, and it did seem it would've been even taller, but it was crumbling to nothing from years of it being left in the wilderness. The front entrance looked ready to fall in on itself; Naruto looked at Hinata to see her walk forward. "You sure this is the place?" Naruto asked her, wanting to know if this place was safe and the correct place.
"Yes, this place has an item that my clan requires, every decade or so, my clan gets information of certain items that interests them; they give the task to the next head..." Hinata tells him, walking into the temple while the three team members with her walked in.
Naruto and Sakura felt strange when they walked in with her, their chakra becoming stronger and unstable. 'This is weird...' Naruto thought, feeling the Kyuubi become weird as well.
Yamato and Hinata did feel slightly weird, but they didn't notice it as much as the other two did. "This place is...weird..." Sakura says aloud, for some reason, finding this building familiar.
The inside of the temple were nothing but dust, plants and tree roots growing out of the walls and several rotten pieces of wood scattered around. "...This place has seen better days..." Yamato comments.
"Yeah, about a thousand years ago if I had to guess." Sakura says as Hinata activated her Byakugan, getting a confused look from the group but ignored it, Hinata searched the area and son had a slightly scared look in her eyes, Naruto noticed this.
"You alright Hinata?" Naruto asked her.
"T-There's s-skeletons around t-the area..." Hinata tells him.
Naruto nodded and placed his hand on Hinata's shoulder. "It's okay...I'm here." Naruto tells her, not noticing his nails sharpening.
Hinata nodded and smiled before slowly walking forward, looking ahead with little light coming from the cracked and holey roof, they walked in the central walkway between the rotten wood. Sakura looked around, seeing the skeletons Hinata mentioned under some of the rotten wood, she walked under a light from the roof and her hair was paler then before, being a light pink then the normal pink.
Naruto looked ahead and saw a small pedestal; he felt his chakra rising slightly as did Sakura whose muscles were throbbing. "This is it." Hinata says, walking towards the shrine and seeing the large, black metal piece with a sharp edge on it, only seeing by the amount of dust on it.
"...So your family want this?" Naruto asked, seeing Hinata wrap a cloth around the item and placed it in her backpack.
"I've heard of this tradition from the Hyuga clan...but this is the first time I've ever seen an item like that..." Yamato says, having read about the Hyuga clan's tradition for his ANBU training and learning about the clans "Is this all there is to it?"
"Yes." Hinata replied, answering both Yamato and Naruto, looking around but saw nothing important. "We can leave now."
"Great..." Naruto replied, looking around and started getting the creeps.
Sakura felt a strange sense that seemed familiar yet she didn't recognise it at the same time. 'What is this?' She wondered looking around, seeing some movement in the shadows that looked like a person, but she looked back and just saw that it was rages moving and was confused. 'Okay...' She thought, looking carefully around the area.
"Should we look around?" Yamato asked, starting to feel weird.
"I don't think so; I don't see anything important..." Hinata replied, having noticed something, but it seemed to vanish so thought it was her imagination.
The team then walked out of the temple, feeling a weird sensation when they walked out, slightly blinded by the light, but they soon adjusted to the different lighting. Yamato and Hinata looked at Sakura and Naruto and were slightly confused, Sakura had paler pink hair and her green eyes were also paler along with her skin. Naruto on the other hand had more messy hair, his canines seemed to be sharper as well as his nails and Hinata saw that his pupils were slightly slitted eyes.
"A-Are you alright Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah...why?" Naruto asked.
"...Nothing..." Hinata replied while looking at Yamato who just shrugged since he didn't think it was his place to tell him.
Naruto was confused and looked at Yamato and then Sakura and noticed her changes, he just stood there for several seconds and shrugged, thinking that being in a dark temple made his eyes go weird and began walking to their destination.
End flashback
The group were waiting near the end of the bridge behind the tree line, Hinata still required on getting herbs for Tsunade and a few items for the clan, but they were going to search for those after the spy because they were running close to their deadline.
The group stopped talking when they spotted a cloaked figure at the other end of the bridge and walking on it, Yamato quickly walked out of the bushes with his Sasori disguise with the Akatsuki cloak which was given to him. "Okay...wish me luck." Yamato says and began walking to the end of the bridge to the other side to meet, both Naruto and Hinata were watching carefully at Yamato as Sakura had a twisted smile on her face. A dark aura seemed to surround her that the other two failed to notice, not knowing that she was waiting for the precise moment to act.
"Wait...what if this isn't the person?" Naruto asked, gaining the look from Hinata who was confused by what he said. "This could just be a person wearing a cloak and we just sent Yamato who looks like an S rank criminal towards him..." Naruto explained and gained a confused nod as that made sense.
Yamato had finally reached the person in the cloak standing in the middle of the Heaven Bridge; the person removed his hood and saw that it was Kabuto, standing in front of the disguised Yamato. The group were surprised that Kabuto was the traitor, wondering how many kind of double agent he was since he has on everyone's side. Kabuto soon had a sadistic smirk and explodes into a white cloud, soon clearing to show Orochimaru standing there, facing the disguised Yamato who was now standing there with no movement. They didn't have to look at his face to tell he was scared stiff by the sudden appearance of the Snake Sannin, but they didn't know that he remembered the tests that the said Sannin did on him when he was younger.
"Why hello Sasori...or should it be...goodbye my former partner." Orochimaru smirked; his sadistic smirk grew larger, having his sword, the Kusanagi slide out of his mouth and quickly grabbed the handle and sliced Yamato's disguise in half. The body of Sasori crumbled and nothing was inside it, confusing Orochimaru for a second but then saw the person that was inside it appears near the end of the bridge. He quickly gestured his hand, both Naruto and Hinata appeared in front of him, a little worried as they stood their ground in front of him.
"Hold on a second...where's Sakura?" Yamato asked in confusion, looking around and saw no sign of the pink haired girl.
"I don't know Sensei, she just plain disappeared on us!" Naruto replied, wondering where Sakura disappeared to in a time like this and stood ready to fight Orochimaru. Hinata had her Byakugan active and still couldn't find Sakura, wondering if someone or something took her without them knowing, even though it would be very difficult to do so.
"I wouldn't bother about your weakling teammate right now, the one you should actually be worrying about would be yourselves...you're all going to die and suffer. Although, this is a rare opportunity to experiment on someone of the Hyuga clan that doesn't have a curse mark on them...hell, I might even let Sasuke have a little fun with her so he could be a little more like me." Orochimaru smirked darkly, getting excited by the thought of Hinata and noting that Naruto had a look of pure fury on his face and enjoyed it.
"Don't...you...ever! Think of laying a single finger on my Hinata-Chan! And Sasuke is nothing like you at all you bastard!" Naruto yelled at Orochimaru in rage.
"I can do whatever I wish for boy, you can't really do anything to stop me either...you couldn't even stop Sasuke-kun from coming to me at his own free will. Hell, I bet that the girl is just dating you because she pities you for being a useless weakling." Orochimaru mockingly said to him, wanting to anger Naruto more, seeing that Naruto was now having the Kyuubi's chakra surround him rapidly and a single tail formed behind him.
"Stay calm Naruto...don't lose yourself now." Yamato warned the blond, but Naruto wasn't even listening to him as a second Chakra tail formed behind Naruto.
"Naruto-Kun! Don't listen to anything this man says! He is just trying to make you lose your temper!" Hinata cried, getting a little scared from seeing Naruto like this, remembering Tsunade's report about Naruto's prisoner which can react to negative emotions. But Naruto lost all reality of the world around him, having all his rage building up and dark thoughts came as all he focused on was Orochimaru. Hinata looked at him, seeing his nails were sharpening greatly and his eyes red as blood and slitted, his teeth were sharp and his whisker marks that she loved so much darkened.
"Hmm...I might even have a little fun with the Hyuga girl myself while I experimenting on her. Hell, I might even allow several of my subordinates to turn her into their own personal whore when I'm finished with the girl." Orochimaru laughed, seeing Naruto get even more enraged while Orochimaru was talking to himself in his mind, making the decision to either take Yamato to see how he managed to survive his experiments or not. Naruto's mind was full of bloodlust and dark energy as his rage was pushed too far and the Kyuubi's chakra seemed to darken.

Sakura was not too far away as she watched Naruto with interest, smirking slightly as she saw her teammate was becoming as bloodthirsty as she does. She stood there with a smirk as she held a blade to someone near her; she looked to see the grey haired man known as Kabuto, seeing him slightly in fear. She looked at Naruto turning into a demonic form and wondered who would be classed as a more horrific demon, her or Naruto.
She smirked and looked at the scared Kabuto. "Okay Kabuto, take me to Sasuke." Sakura ordered the man, sending out enough bloodlust and feeling him shiver as he could literally feel it, and he nervously began walking towards the hideout with Sakura following close behind. She took a glance back and knew that it was going to be a bloody fight with her teammate and Orochimaru.
The two walked in deeper and deeper into the forest until they came across a small mountain that had a little base built into it. Sakura sensed Sasuke's presences within the mountain and smirked; she grabbed Kabuto's shoulder and stabbed the blade into the base between his neck and shoulder. Kabuto screamed in pain and Sakura brought her knee with great force into Kabuto's back, causing his to get a loud, painful cough quickly after a loud snap came. Sakura kept kneeing him powerfully into Kabuto's back, causing more cracking sounds to come, soon Kabuto fell to his knees and Sakura forced the blade to come out, splashing herself with blood and smirked. Kabuto was taking gasping pants of pain, Sakura grabbed the top of Kabuto's head and his jaw, Sakura smirked and brought her hands apart, making a loud snapping sound and saw Kabuto slumped and fell to the ground.
"Thank you for showing me the way, I no longer had a use for you so you can just rot in this godless world and may your soul rot in the darkest parts of hell." Sakura smirked as she spat on Kabuto's motionless body before walking towards the hideout's entrance, she smirked and entered the base, seeing the dark halls before her and started sensing where Sasuke was. After a few minutes, she found herself in front of a door and she could almost smell Sasuke coming from it, she opened it and walked in.
Sasuke was laying down on his bed, he took notice that the door to his room was open, he thought that it was just Kabuto coming to give him a check up for any effects of the drugs that he's been giving him to make him for powerful. He opened his eyes and looked around to see the tall Sakura, surprising the traitorous Uchiha greatly.
"...What in the world are you..." Sasuke began, but Sakura reached behind her back as a scroll opened and a giant puff of white smoke came, Sasuke was surprised by this and Sakura swung a giant sword. She launched it forward and Sasuke's eyes widened, he was about to move, but the sword narrowly missed his skin on his abdomen and stabbed the wall, trapping him as he couldn't move his body much when Sakura pushed her sword down on him. Sasuke cursed loudly as he tried to push the sword up, but was shocked that Sakura overpowered him with just one hand.
"Okay Sasuke...I have a very good offer for you that I believe you will like...do you want to hear it? I can assure you that it will help you get stronger than anything you'd have thought possible...even stronger then Itachi." Sakura informed him in a calm voice, making Sasuke feeling confused by her actions and offer.
"Okay then...what is your offer then?" Sasuke asked, seeing that he couldn't see any way out of this, but thought that she might have something good to offer since he saw that she was powerful enough to stop him moving.
"I know of a way to grant you the same powers that I gained...but it will cost you a price." Sakura replied, now having a sadistic smile on her face now and lifted her blade a little, enjoying the sight of her sword's appearance with horrific, demonic faces.
"...What is this price? I hope that it isn't having me come back to that damned village..." Sasuke bitterly told her, but he coughed as Sakura pressed the flat sword down on him and made it harder to breath.
"Don't. Take. That. Tone with me Sasuke! I'm not the same bratty girl that you knew three years ago! And no...We're not going back to the Hidden Leaf village, not yet anyway...I absolutely hate that place." Sakura tells him, having pure venom in her voice, chakra leaving her body and made it harder to breath for Sasuke and seeing the room crack around them by the force.
"Well...what do you...want then?" Sasuke asked, trying to remain calm and breathe as best as he could, almost hoping that Sakura doesn't overdo it with the pressure, becoming nervous for the first time in his life. Sakura gave a very sadistic smirk, seeing Sasuke's nervousness become anger when she hadn't lightened her sword. "Well? What do you...want me to do then?" Sasuke asked, getting more irritated as he found it hard to breathe and Sakura wasn't telling him what, she somehow managed to become more sadistic and his anger radiated.
"Nothing much, I just want you to skin Orochimaru alive for me." Sakura tells him as insanity took over her face, Sasuke just stared at her, a little shocked that the sweet, innocent girl that had a crush on him three years ago has changed so much. Sakura ripped her sword out of the wall and allowed Sasuke to breathe better and he sat up, looking at the towering woman.
Footsteps were heard and Orochimaru appeared at the door, completely exhausted and looked at the tall Sakura in confusion, he walked in weakly since he was weak and wounded from fighting Naruto and forced to retreat. "What in the-" Orochimaru began to speak, but Sakura spun around, smashing the flat side of her giant blade, Orochimaru cursed and smashed into the wall.
He cursed in pain and tried to retaliate, but Sakura spun her sword around and grabbed the tip of the blade with her larger left hand and sent the hilt towards Orochimaru. The hilt shot into his mouth and hit the back of his throat, causing him to crash into the wall, choking and looking in shock that Sakura had pinned him to the wall by the hilt. Orochimaru placed his hands around the handle and tried to push the blade away, but he couldn't and began to worry.
"Looks like you can't go anywhere." Sakura smirked, not getting cut by her blade since her left hand is thinker then the rest of her body.
'What is going on? I should be stronger then this girl!' Orochimaru yelled to himself, quickly doing a hand sign, but Sakura kicked his hands from the distant they were at, then quickly smashed her foot against the wall and made it nearly impossible to move other than his left hand and legs.
"Sasuke, this would be the best time to skin this Snake alive, and make sure to take his fangs as well, and hurry up, I'd rather get out of this place." Sakura tells him and looks around the dark, lifeless tomb like room. "This place is a bit too cheery for me." Sakura claimed and pushed the sword harder into Orochimaru's mouth, almost making him gag. "Needs a little more blood I think." Sakura smirked.
Orochimaru's eyes widened in terror and shock, using his free hand to try and push the large handle of the blade away, but still couldn't push it away and tried to kick Sakura away from him. Sasuke stood up from his bed and looked at Orochimaru to Sakura and back again, Orochimaru pointed his hand at Sakura and several snakes shot out of his sleeve and towards Sakura. They wrapped around Sakura's arm and bit into her skin, but Sakura smirked as the snakes tried to pierce her skin, but couldn't.
"Now Sasuke, you can either not kill this fake demon and die with him, or kill this fake demon and join the real thing." Sakura tells Sasuke, making him look confused, Sakura used her free, smaller hand to reach behind her back and a small puff of smoke came, she held a sharp, silver dagger that had a skull at the end of the handle. "So which do you choose?" Sakura asked, her eyes alight with rage and bloodlust, also a hint of enjoyment.
"...Fine, I'll kill him..." Sasuke claims and walks towards the two and grabs a sword that rested against the wall next to his bed, he pulled the blade back and quickly severed the snakes from Orochimaru's arm. Orochimaru was panicking now, too exhausted from fighting Naruto to shed his skin to escape, fearing of being skinned like a common animal by the person he wished to take for himself.
Sasuke stabbed his sword through Orochimaru's free hand and pinned it to the wall, Orochimaru grunts in pain and looks around in fear. Sakura smirked and spun her dagger and grabbed the bladed end and pointed the hilt towards Sasuke. "Here, use this to gut the bastard." Sakura ordered and Sasuke took it and looked at Orochimaru, but looked at Sakura as she pulled out a kunai and passed it to Sasuke. "Pin his other hand." Sakura ordered and gained a glare from Sasuke.
"You pin it." Sasuke tells her darkly.
Sakura glared back and used all of her strength and actually managed to stab the hilt through the back of his throat, pinning his head to the wall. Orochimaru yelled in pain and shock, coughing as best as he could since blood poured down his throat, Sakura dropped her foot and smirked as Orochimaru tried to rip the massive blade out. Sakura quickly walked over to his hand and grabbed it, quickly hitting it against the wall and stabbed her kunai into the wall and bent the kunai.
Sakura smirked as Orochimaru kicked his legs in fear; she walked to the top of her demonic looking blade and placed her large, left hand on it. Sasuke took the silver blade and walked over to Orochimaru and looked at the man who trained him for nearly three years.
"You've given me all you can for these years, and now I'm one step closer on killing my brother...Itachi." Sasuke says and smirked and plunged the sharp blade into the snake's gut, the Sanin felt absolute pain as the knife started pushing upwards, tearing through his skin and bowels.
'No! I cannot die! I'm Orochimaru! The Snake Sannin!' Orochimaru yelled to himself, trying to yell it, but was gargling and yelling in pain, he felt the sudden grinding of the dagger against his ribs, spurting up blood on the blade. Sasuke pushed his lightning chakra and began cutting through his rib cage and sternum like butter, blood shot up Orochimaru's throat as the dagger continued its course.
"Wonderful Sasuke-Kun, nearly there now." Sakura says and smirks a dark smile as she watched, her eyes becoming dark and bloodthirsty, Orochimaru vomited a large amount of blood and sprayed both Sakura and Sasuke.
Sasuke was feeling slightly sick as blood and some bits of organs fell out of the snake Sannin, wondering how Orochimaru was staying alive like this since no one should be able to live this long. He shrugged it off and figured that he was harder to kill since he was a Sanin and harder to kill then the other three Sanin, but even him surviving through severed veins and arteries. He'd just finished with the rib cage and was now part way up his throat and stopped, gagging as Orochimaru's blood sprayed across his face. 'This is wrong in so many ways...but I need to do it so I can kill Itachi!' Sasuke yelled as he moved it up violently and sliced through the rest of his neck and sliced his jaw in half and hit the handle, surprised that it didn't slice through it.
"That's enough cutting...now rip off his skin..." Sakura ordered and ripped her blade out of Orochimaru and wall, seeing Orochimaru pass out and blood covering the floor and knew that Orochimaru would die any second now.
Sasuke dropped the skull knife and pulled the blades out of his hands and dropped them into the ground, Orochimaru fell on his knees and hit the floor, and Sasuke rolled him over and looked at the dead Sannin. Organs poured out of his guts, he refused to throw up and grabbed the opening flaps, pulling his skin apart and more organs and blood fell out, after a minute, Orochimaru was now naked from his skin. Sasuke breathed carefully as he smelled the poisonous fumes that Orochimaru had ingested and the poisons of the chemical that gave him his curse seal, he reached down and ripped his fangs from him and walked to Sakura.
Sakura smirked as he presented the fangs to her. "Very good Sasuke-Kun." She said and looked at Orochimaru, seeing his heart stop and knowing he was no longer in this word and would realise that he's nothing compared to demons.

At the bridge, or what remained of it since most of the landscape was in ruins now, the entire woodlands that Orochimaru came from was nothing more than ash and a crater. "W-What happened?" Hinata asked, entirely shocked by what she saw, seeing Naruto turn into the Three Tailed Fox mode and destroyed the bridge with a single jump and sent Orochimaru flying like a small stone being thrown by Lee.
"Damn it! I've got to get Naruto and stop him from-" Yamato began, but a red arm shot out of the remains of the ruined woods on the other side of the canyon and crashed into Yamato, he let loose a painful cough as the air in his lungs shot out. He tried to regain his breath as the arm smashed him into the ground, feeling a large amount of pain, mostly coming from his arm and the large hand pinned him to the ground. "Damn...can't...get...arm...free!" Yamato gasps, trying to get his arm free, but failing.
Two more arms shot out of the arm that grabbed him and grabbed the ground on both sides of him, he was confused by the action, he soon realised that the arm pulled itself towards him. A split second later, a large, dark red creature flew out of the woods towards Yamato.
"Yamato-Sensei!" Hinata called, quickly moving towards him to help, but the creature landed with a small explosion at where Yamato was, causing her to fly back by the force of the explosion. She landed hard on the ground and the bag with her belongings and item that the Hyuga clan wanted ripped open and fell off the edge and fell to the bottom of the canyon. Hinata saw this and was worried that she may lose the contents, but remembered Yamato and his life was more important quickly activated her Byakugan.
The smoke cleared and a fox like creature stood above Yamato, she was moving carefully since the fox could kill Yamato with one move should he show any acts that could be believed as a aggressive act. 'I'll have to be quick-' Yamato began to think, but he felt a sudden burning sensation on his right ankle, he looked down to see one of the creature's tails wrap around his ankle. "Damn it-" He began, but was suddenly pulled at such force that caused the ground to be ripped out and sent flying to the rocky wall on the other side, causing a small crater and fell towards the bottom.
"Yamato-Sensei!" Hinata yelled as she watched the man fall towards the river, Hinata focused on the creature and was shocked as she realised it was Naruto, only managing to see behind the chakra cloak. "N-Naruto-Kun..." She said aloud, shocked that the beast was Naruto.
Naruto in Kyuubi form looked at the smaller girl, he growled and slowly approached Hinata and some cracks appeared from the ground by the power he was emitting. Hinata backed away and grew even more nervous, she backed away from him and grew scared as he charged towards her, and she only managed to dodge because she already had her Byakugan active. She quickly jumped into the woods and began running, Naruto roared and charged into the woods to get her.
'I hope Yamato-Sensei will be alright...' Hinata hoped as she quickly began evading Naruto's attacks and kept trying to hide from him, but couldn't by the sudden, wide range attacks
Xxxxx
Hinata breathed heavily as she only managed to hide from Naruto after several minutes or running and finally managed to hide from him. She looked around carefully and watched Naruto destroy large sections of the forest to find him, making her nervous as she tried to catch her breath. 'Why is he like this? What happened to him?' Hinata wondered as she shifted a little and made a twig snap, she held her breath and hoped that Naruto didn't notice, after a few seconds, she heard nothing and sighed in relief, but the tree she was hiding behind was suddenly smashed in half.
She screamed as she jumped out of the falling tree's path and landed on the ground, her Byakugan active again and saw that Naruto was upon her within seconds. All she could do was spin around and stare at her attacker face to face before being killed, Naruto landed hard on either side of her with his hand and feet. He growled as observed her with his pale, glowing, white eyes and opened his jaw slightly and showed razor sharp teeth, breathing on her as he saw fear in her eyes.
"P-Please...N-Naruto...I k-know y-you're still in t-there...p-please..." Hinata says to the towering Kyuubi influenced Naruto, tears coming from hear eyes as she looked at her love, or what should be her love, but knowing that this isn't the real him.
Naruto tilted his head slightly as he leaned closer towards her, Hinata was nearly suffocating by the odder and power of his dark chakra, she growled even more and opened his jaw slightly more.
"P-Please...N-Naruto-Kun...I k-know y-you...y-you wouldn't h-hurt me..." Hinata says as tears flowed even more freely, her voice shaking in fear. "I k-know it b-because I..." Hinata began, but Naruto raised his head and roared in anger before moving away from Hinata on his hind legs.
Her eyes widened and watched as Naruto moved away from her, making as much noise as he can as he destroyed more sections of the forest. Hinata then saw something and Naruto's Kyuubi cloak began to recede back into his body, she was confused and then looked worried as Naurto's flesh was red with burns and blood.
She began to panic for the pass few seconds until the cloak vanished and Naruto was back to his original form, standing there for a second and smoking before falling to the ground and laid there. "Naruto-Kun!" Hinata yelled in panic.
