Chapter 10: Akumu (Nightmare)

Naruto's POV

I stood outside of the balcony, and felt the night air. Two days, two more days and I'll be gone, by that time I hope that I could at least say goodbye. Otou-san was helpful and a little more gently on me. I was happy that all we were doing now was going over forbidden techniques that he knew, along with how I have to release the seal in case of life or death emergency. I started to wonder what will happen if I let Kyuu-san out?

'Would he try to take over my body? Would he destroy the village?' I shrugged it off as so-not-the-Kyuu-you-know-but-still-possible-to-happen. "Did I really get stronger than Sasuke?" I found myself asking the night sky. "Or am I still weak?"

"That's something that you'll have to find out yourself, Naruto." Sakura startled me, and I could tell that she could tell that she did, because she started to laugh. "Naruto-kun, I know you, I know when something isn't right."She touched my arm and for a slight second there was a surge, "Please tell me, what's going on?" I pulled away as fast as I could. Something didn't feel right, and I re-entered the room. "Sakura-chan, I don't think that you should be here. I think you need to go, now."

She looked at me confused and I could tell that she was still in shock. "Why? Naruto, tell me what's going on." I grabbed her wrist hard, and slammed her up against the wall. She shook her head as I could see tears coming out of her eyes from the hold that I had on her wrist.

"Naruto-kun, please, don't do this to me. Please, just tell me. It's not possible for you to be, is it?" I shook my head, she closed her eyes, and I could see the green chakra flow through her hands, the illusion broke in that moment. "Medical Ninja's are very nosy. Don't you think, Naru-chan?" I let go of Sakura's wrist as Orochimaru stepped out of the shadows. Sakura went into full battle mode, and the Snake Sennin knocked her out without a care in the world.

"Orochimaru." I said with disgust. "Now, now Naru-chan, don't tell me you hate me already." I could feel the burning of my legs, and my knees buckled. He gripped my chin and forced me to look at him, "You knew that this day would come, so why are you fighting me now?" I couldn't give a proper response to the question, but I knew that my eyes said it all.

"You promised to come back with me, Naruto. Or, was that a lie?" I couldn't look his way as I stared at Sakura'sbody crumpled on the floor. "Good, a deal's a deal, no matter what the situation may turn out to be." He kissed my lips, and I could feel myself getting lost in it.

He pulled away as he leaped to the balcony, two kunai knives came from the darkness, and Sai-teme stepped into the room. "If you want the girl back, I suggest you meet me at the river to the place the wind reaches at the edge of the sea of mirage.

Pulling the jumpsuit top back over me, I gripped it close to me, as I zipped it up, hopping Sai didn't see anything that had went on, instead he ran out to the balcony, as Kakashi-sensei and Yamato-sensei came barging into the room.

"Naruto, you okay?" Yamato-sensei asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." He helped me get up off of the floor.

"What happened in here? Naruto?" I spaced out and I couldn't hear him for a moment. There was a sharp pain that stung my cheek, and I looked up to see Sai-teme. "Whatcha do that for?"

There was no smile on his face, "Naruto," It was whispered, "How could you let that prick take her like that?"

He shook me and I couldn't answer honestly,"I have, I don't know what you are talking about." My eyes held a murderous glint to them, as I could tell that they shifted to that of Kyuu-san's, back to my normal blue. Temari seen it, and it seemed to have shaken her up along with Kakashi-sensei and Rock Lee's.

"Naruto, really are you fine?" I didn't answer.

"So, what did he say, Naruto-kun?" Yamato-sensei asked.

"He said to meet him at the river where the wind blows, at the edge of sea of mirages. Isn't that where we're heading anyway, Kakashi-sensei?" I asked as I lowered my head.

"Yeah, there's no time to wait. We move out now in separate teams."

"Naruto, you go with Yamato-san and Rock Lee. Temari, and Sai, come with me. Ikuzo!" We left the Inn as fast as we could.

Kakashi's POV

"Sai it's obvious that you know something, as well as you Temari." I started wanting to know what happened in the room before I arrived. Sai nodded his head, while it seemed that Temari was in denial. "You have to tell me what's going on. It's the only way we're going to save Sakura, and Naruto from what ever is going on."

"I'm not sure," Sai started out not conveying how unsure he was, "But, I think Naruto has made a deal with Orochimaru. Well that's what I heard as I walked pass Naruto's room. Orochimaru said something about a deal's a deal, no matter what the situation may be."

We leaped on top of some trees, "So in other words means, you think that Naruto's made a deal with him to get Sakura back, or-"

"Maybe it was a deal that happened a long time ago between the-" Sai cut off Temari.

"I have been monitoring Naruto-kun ever since the day that I first suspected that something was going on. That was the day at the Ichiraku's Ramen Shop. He had a manilla folder, the same one's that I carried with me when I had an assassination mission. He was acting weird too."

"So you've known about this for sometime now, and didn't bother telling anyone?"

Sai shook his head, "I really didn't know, I suspected, but I'm sure of it now. Naruto was having a secret rendezvous with the hebi."

"Temari, do you know of anything?" She shook her head, still in denial. Reaching up for my earpiece, I contacted Yamato-san and brought him up-to-date on our current situation.

"Watch Naruto. Understood?" There was a silent 'fine', and I was pleased for the time being. Naruto and Yamato would be taking the front path toward the river of illusions as we made our way to the back, it would take a little longer. That way if anything happened, we would be able to catch Orochimaru, and see if Naruto is a traitor to the village or not. I slinted my eyes, wanting to not think the worst about him.

Sakura's POV

The rattling of chains had woke me up, the dawn was just starting to make its way known, as the rays peeked through the trees. The light was killing my head and for a moment it took me awhile just to realize where I was, and remember what had happened. I touched Naruto and ran a diagnosis from that one touch. I broke some illusion that he put on himself to be sure of my conclusion, then my eyes stung as I forced them open. "Orochimaru."

"Speaking of the devil, I see that you've found out a little secret that was being kept between me and my subordinates?" I finally got a good look at where I was. I was tied up to a rock right above the river's waterfall that entered into the city. "So, that's why you brought me here?"

"Correct, a little girl like you shouldn't be snooping around in other people's business, especially if they don't know the consequences it may cause." Orochimaru placed his hand onto my forehead, was he trying to invade my memories. "It won't work, what you're trying to do, you'll just get trapped inside my mind."

He laughed, "What exactly are you talking about?" His laugh was getting annoying. "Oh that, now who says that I was trying to do a thing such as that? You look like a smart girl, so act like it, and don't come up with pathetic conclusions of me doing something like trying to invade your mind." The sun had fully risen, "Your friends should be on their way soon." I was relieved to hear that.

I saw Naruto approaching along with Yamato-sensei, but I didn't see the others. "Tsk, what a shame, I have to get rid of you both." I could see traps going off as Naruto-kun and Yamato-sensei had gotten separated. "You can say goodbye to Naruto very soon." He brushed his fingers across my lips, "I really don't see what Uchiha ever saw in you, but taking it by the way he acts now, I don't think that he would really care if you went missing, or worse. Like ended up dead."

"NARUTO!" I screamed as he approached closer to me and Orochimaru, and as I could feel my body being dragged down. My feet touched water, then my legs, my waist, and then my whole body was submerged in the cool liquid. I held my breath as long I could, I had to. If not, then what would Naruto-kun or Sasuke-kun think of the me now, weak, having no will.

"Sakura!" I saw Naruto's hand reach down into the water, he tried to grip my hand but the rock pulled me down more. I used what Tsunade-sama had taught me, but it seemed that from our last encounter, Orochimaru knew that she was training me and had a trick up his sleeve this whole time. My hand slipped from Naruto's. I screamed out a no, and I could feel some shock of an electricity surge through my body as I lost consciousness. "Naruto, please save me!"

Naru's POV

I had to part ways with Yamato-sensei. "Naruto, you have to move on, get Sakura-chan yourself. " I nodded. "Remember, do it with your own strength, and not that of the nine-tails. "

"Don't worry Yamato-sensei. I got this, I promise that I will get her back." I quickened up my pace as I approached Orochimaru-sama and Sakura-chan. "Let her go! This is between me and you, Orochimaru."

He laughed, "If so then you can get her, go on ahead and be my guest." I did as told, there was no malice coming from him, yet. But, I knew I would wear his patience thin by calling him Orochimaru.

I reached down into the water, and grabbed a hold of her hand. It didn't last long as she let go, and I could feel why. This was pissing me off. "You bastard, how could you, why would you put her into this? Release her now." I could feel tears forming at the corner of my eyes.

"Or what, my dear Naru-chan? What exactly will you do?" He slowly backed me up to where the waterfall is, "You have no power over me." My body went cold for a moment, "A deal's a deal." He said gripping my arm and pulling me in tightly so that I was face to face with him. Placing his lips near my own as a tease, I could feel the tickling of his breathe on my mouth, and I couldn't help but pay attention to it.

The water concealed us from anyone's view, he licked my lips, leaning in a bit more he lightly played with my bottom lip, nibbling on it. "That illusion jutsu that you've used, it won't last long, and you know it, " he wiped away the tears that managed to leak out from my eyes, "That's why we agreed that you would come with me, and as I can recall you never go back on your word."

He captured me, I could feel the pressure on my lips as they were beginning to bruise. He swiped his tongue over my top lip, demanding entrance, I denied him. He bit down hard on my bottom lip, making me yelp in pain. Gaining access to what he wanted by force, he deepened the kiss, and I could feel my knees going weak. 'Now is not the time for this.'

I moved my face to the side, catching my breath, I said as best as I could through intakes. "One condition. Promise to let Sakura-chan live." He thought about it, "Fine, I promise to let the girl live, if you come with me now, instead of tomorrow." My head snapped back to where it was, facing him, I wasn't expecting him to actually agree. 'So he's not as cold-hearted as he seems to be.'

"Fine. I'll do it." He pulled away and I had the urge to kiss him again, but was too disgusted with myself for thinking of such a thing at a time like this. Letting go of a deep breath, I followed his lead pushing my back off of the huge rock, and stepped from out of the waterfall, "I knew you would see things my way."

Yamato-sensei had caught up with us in that moment, ready to fight and take me back. "There's no need to cause a big scene. I agreed to cause the girl no more harm that's already been done to her, if he agreed to do something for me." He stepped up behind me, cupping my cheek in his hand affectionately.

"Naruto, don't do it! W hatever he's promised you, whatever you've agreed on, he's lying." Yamato-sensei tried to reach me, and I closed my eyes to concentrate, now was the time to call on Otou-san and see if this was the right time to remove the seal. We were ready for it, all of the training that I've went through all was for something, I know it.

Grabbing hold of the seal, I removed it. I opened my mouth in a silent scream, as I could feel the effects taking over. Kyuu-san laughed, and for a moment I thought that it was a trick. It was half way off when my hand lost its grip on it.

I opened my eyes. They were switching back and forth between blue and red. "It's too late, My Naru-chan has already agreed on the deal," he chuckled.

"Naruto, do you remember that day in the forest? When you told me that you would do that favor for me?" I nodded my head. "Well that would be now, it's the perfect timing and plan to get rid of him now. That is the other part of the deal, the thing that I wanted you to do for me."

I had to obey, and I promised myself that I wouldn't hurt Yamato-sensei as much as I normally would. I had to take control of the bijuu that was inside of me, before I could pull the rest of the seal off, and I never went back on my word. "Yamato-sensei, I'm sorry." I spoke sincerly with melancholy, "Please take care of Sakura-chan." I turned toward Orochimaru giving him a warning.

"As you wish, but I will tell you now. I will not kill him. You keep your end of the bargin, and I'll keep mine." My voice begun to sound deeper as I took hold of Kyuu-san, removing the seal all the way, the red swirled around me, the color a darker shade of blood red.

Kyuu-san turned into his human form so that he wouldn't hurt what was inside of me. "The process is complete." The seal didn't burn like I thought it would, instead it laid in my hands as I fainted inside my mind to let Otou-san take over my body. As we planned, that it would be used to the power that was emanating now from all around me, and not just from the center of my body.

"Otou-san, take care of it." He smiled as the darkness consumed me. This was the only way that I could part ways with them.

Yamato's POV

"I just had to leave Rock Lee on his own to fight those things. Where is he?" I ran up to the edge where Naruto and Orochimaru stood. "Naruto, don't do it, whatever he's promised you, whatever you've agreed on, he's lying." It seemed that I was too late, but I had faith in Naruto. I knew that he wouldn't want to fight Orochimaru if that meant putting other lives at risk.

Naruto closed his eyes, he opened them again, and I could see the battle that was warring within, he didn't want to hurt us, so he called on Kyuubi no Kitsune. The image showed up as we could feel a burning serge of raw power feeling the air. This release was different from all other times, which made me fear that maybe he released it. 'He couldn't have?'

"Take care of Sakura-chan will you?" Naruto agreed to Orochimaru's wish. Rock Lee finally showed up as Naruto's body was taken over by the fox.

"What the hell? What's wrong with Naruto?" I shook my head.

"I, I don't know. It seems like he let Kyuubi no Kitsune take over," Rock Lee stood there frozen, "But how?"

"Don't ask questions. Help me fight him."

Orochimaru stood over to the side. "The promise that you've made to the Kit, it will be fulfilled." He nodded his head, as he lifted Sakura-chan up from under the water, placing her body underneath the waterfall for revival, and protection from what was about to take place.

"Good," Kyuubi spoke, "Like you said a deal's a deal, and I too made a deal with the Kit."

He turned to face us, "I will not kill you as I promised, but that doesn't mean I have to hold back on the blood shed, and pain that I am about to inflict on you." Naruto's eyes were two different colors, and I was shocked to see him grow a little taller, face paler, the red dissipated from around him, and his hair was long and white. Somehow, there was the tails swirling around from his body.

He moved in a blank of an eye, and knocked Rock Lee about three kilometers into a tree. It was my turn to calm him down, he removed Tsunade-sama's necklace, "Let's not forget this troublesome thing." I grabbed at it, feeling it in my hands, it slipped as I could feel a fist hit me in my stomach. I was the only one who could stop him, but only with the help of both Tsunade-sama's necklace, and Mokuton.

Kakashi's POV

We had gotten there just in time to see someone pull his hand out of Yamato-san. Blood had littered his hand, face, and clothes. "Move out!" I ordered, The figure licked the blood off of his fingers with a smile, then he dropped on the ground returning it's form back into Naruto, I was amazed and shocked at the same time.

Naruto sat there for a moment, he started to cough up blood. The snake sennin walked up to Naruto and in that exact moment it looked like he held the look of concern on his face. I couldn't hear a word that they said, but I read it. "Naruto?" Tears started to form in Naruto's eyes.

"Leave me alone," he coughed up more blood the sennin taking Naruto into his arms, "Let me go! This wasn't...This wasn't suppose to happen." He fainted in the arms of the hebi, the tears that he seemed to be holding back fell from his closed eye lids.

I watched as Orochimaru caressed Naruto's cheek as if he were a lover, and perhaps seemingly more than someone you'd screw around with. It scared and shocked the hell out of me, that Naruto could draw such feelings out of the demon.

I was at a loss of words.

He chuckled lightly as Temari stood frozen, "Temari, snap out of it. You have to help get him back." I regained my composure in time to make a new game plan. "I'll fight him, while you all recover the rest of the team, and get Sakura she's right by him." I moved as fast as I could, missing, he leaped on top of some rock.

"I would love to stay and entertain you, but I have some important business to take care of." He held a smirk plastered on his face, fire started to consume his and Naruto's body, and they disappeared. I knew in that moment that Tsunade-sama was going to be pissed.

"Gather them up. We have to return to the village immediately." Temari moved with Sai following not too far behind her. Something was wrong with Naruto, and I knew that the only one who could figure it out would be Yamato-san.

Looking around where I spotted Sakura at, I moved to the spot that she was laying. She was laying face first on the ground, I moved my hand over her head and body, she was out cold.

I felt for her pulse, she didn't have one and she wasn't breathing. Covering her mouth with mine, I did CPR. Pumping her chest and repeating the same actions several times, she finally coughed up the water that was in her lungs, breathing, her eyes peeked open. "Where's Naruto?" I didn't get to answer as she fainted, and I was happy for the moment because I didn't like being the bearer of bad news.
