A\N: Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter of "Naruto's Fate". Again, I am so sorry about the confusion with Madara and him being Sasuke's dad. I always just think that he is. Well, let's forget about my mental problems (lol) and continue with Chapter 10. Double digits! WHOOOOOOOO!

Chapter 10

After Sakura changed into her training\mission clothes, she saw the rest of the Konoha 11 members. She was happy, but sad at the same time. She was happy that all her friends were here, but she also wanted to be alone with Naruto. She knew they would be asking question.

"What are you guys doing her?!" Naruto asked in surprise.

"What? You don't like us or something anymore?" said Ino teasingly. "Hey Sakura, can I talk to you for a second in private?" said Ino smiling. Sakura knew what Ino was going to bother her about but she said ok and went inside the tent.

"What the… is that blood?" Ino asked in shock.

"Yeah, Naruto got hurt while training" Sakura said. Just saying Naruto's name made her happy.

"Ok…and speaking of Naruto. I heard you two are dating" said Ino excitedly.

"What? How did you find out?' Sakura asked.

"Kiba told everyone" Ino said.

"Damn that Kiba" thought Sakura.

"So, did you do it yet?" said Ino waiting for the answer.

"Ino! What kind of question is that?!" said Sakura in surprise.

"What? It's a normal question to ask when your best friend is dating someone!" said Ino in a defensive tone.

"No it isn't!' yelled Sakura still in shock from the question.

"Whatever. Seriously, how did you end up liking him? I don't have a problem, I'm just wondering how and when" asked Ino. Sakura sighed.

"I guess right when I saw him for the first time when he came from training with Jiraiya-sensei" said Sakura. "I just started feeling weird around him" said Sakura.

"I don't blame you. He is cute now" said Ino in a dazed tone. Sakura gave her a glare. "Whoa. Someone is getting defensive" said Ino. They both laughed and exited the tent. The, they saw Lee, Kiba, and Choji in front of the tent entrance.

"Hey! What don't you guys understand about private?!" Ino and Sakura said angrily in unison. Right when Sakura was about to punch all three of them, she noticed Naruto with a tense look on his face. Sakura walked over to him

"Naruto? What's wrong" Sakura asked.

"I can sense his chakra" said Naruto.

"So can I" said Neji with the same worried voice as Naruto. Then, Naruto started walking in towards the forest.

Everyone followed after him. Then, he abruptly stopped.

"I know you're out there" yelled Naruto.

"Impressive, Naruto" said a mysterious voice. Then, Sasuke and Kabuto came out of hiding. Everyone gasped except Naruto. He seemed especially calm. Then, came a figure that surprised even Naruto. His appearance caused the Kyuubi's eyes to appear.

"Orochimaru" growled Naruto.

"Nice to see you Jinchuriki" said Orochimaru.

That name just caused Naruto to become even angrier.

"Calm down kid" said Kurama. Naruto just ignored him as he rushed towards Orochimaru.

"Naruto!" everyone said in unison. Then, to protect Orochimaru, appeared Sasuke. He pulled out his Kusanagi.

"As reckless as ever, Naruto" said Sasuke calmly. The Kyuubi's eyes vanished.

"Why, Sasuke? Why won't you come back?" asked Naruto. Sasuke just stood there without answering. "Answer me!" Naruto said.

"They forced my brother to kill our clan. Why would I go back?" said Sasuke. 'Why Naruto? Why did you stray from your goal? Didn't you say you wanted to be Hokage? Why go this far for me?" said Sasuke.

"Because…. like I said before, how can I become Hokage…if I can't even save one person. And… you are the one person I had a bond like this" answered Naruto.

"Humph...you are so naive" said Sasuke.

"I thought I severed that bond a long time ago. Oh well, I will just have to severe your head from your neck!" said Sasuke. In a split second, he swiped his sword at Naruto, aiming for his neck. Luckily, Naruto dodged just in time. The swords still hit him across his nose. Just barley though. It caused to make a line appear across his nose.

"So… that's how this is going to work" said Naruto. "Fine" he said before turning into Sage Mode. Then, Sasuke released his Sharingan.

Naruto took out a kunai out and assaulted Sasuke. Blade touched blade as they clashed repeatedly. Orochimaru turned his attention away from the battle and stared at a white-haired man who appeared next to the 11 other shinobis, including Kakashi.

"Jiraiya! Long times no see" said Orochimaru. Jiraiya smiled at Orochimaru.

"Indeed. It has been a while" he said. Orochimaru then appeared next to Jiraiya. All the shinobis got into a defensive position.

"Don't worry. I just want to chat with my old teammate" he said calmly. But none of the ninja's budged.

"They have both grown up remarkably, didn't they Orochimaru?" said Jiraiya.

"Indeed they have. Let's see which one of our pupils has become stronger" said Orochimaru.

"I can't wait for the outcome" said Jiraiya

"You are still as annoying as ever Naruto" said Sasuke.

"Shut up and lose so I can take you back" said Naruto angrily.

"Aww, did I get someone ticked off" said Sasuke laughing with an evil grin.

"I said shut the fuck up!" Naruto said as he infused the power of the Kyuubi's with the Sage Mode's power. Then out of nowhere, Sasuke just stopped battling.

"What the?" Naruto said quietly and confused. Sasuke glanced over to Sakura.

"Sakura, I've heard you're dating Naruto" said Sasuke. Sakura nodded.

"So you finally got over me. About time. Now I don't have to be sad when I do this!" yelled Sasuke. Then, he appeared in front of Sakura and gained electricity around his hand as he put it through her chest. Sakura's eyes widened as she coughed up blood.

"Chidori" Sasuke whispered into Sakura's ear.

"SAKURA!' yelled Naruto. Every one froze in shock. Just when he was about to strike her with her sword, he heard someone yell out something.

"Ninja Art: Super Beast Scrolls!" yelled a random voice. Then, from the forest a group of lions jumped out at Sasuke, causing him to jump back to where Kabuto was standing. Then, the lions disappeared. In front of Sakura, Sai appeared.

"Sai!" Naruto said happily as he rushed over to Sakura, turning back into his normal state.

"You know Sasuke, it's not nice to hurt people at random like that" said Sai in a relaxed voice.

"Oh Sai is so cute when he appears out of nowhere like that" said Ino in a day dream.

"I can't believe I'm in this chick's team. What a drag" said Shikamaru. Sasuke glared at Sai for interrupting his attack.

"Whoops. Looks like I lost track of time. Let's go Sasuke, Kabuto" said Orochimaru. "I will see you later…Jiraiya" said Orochimaru with an evil grin as the three of them disappeared.

"Thanks Sai. I owe you one" said Naruto while he held Sakura.

"How did you find us anyway?" asked Kakashi. Then, hidden behind the trees appeared….Karin?

"Karin?" everyone said at the same time

Sakura woke up in the hospital. She was confused. Why was she back at Konoha Hospital? She turned her head to see Naruto's head resting on her hand. She smiled and woke Naruto up. When he woke up, he was shocked and then overjoyed.

"Sakura! Are you okay?" asked Naruto.

"Yeah. What happened?" asked Sakura.

"Karin led Sai to Sasuke and he prevented him from landing the final blow" said Naruto.

"Tell him I said thanks. And that answers my first question. Now, what are we doing back at Konoha?" asked Sakura in confusion. Naruto hesitated to answer.

"We came back because….we closed the mission as a failure" said Naruto quietly. Sakura's eyes widened.

A\N: DUN, DUN, DUN! Yeah cliff hanger. Sort of. Kind of. A little. Maybe. No. Anyway, I hoped you enjoyed chapter 10. Review and I will see you guys later. Now I have to start my homework. Don't you love school?
