A flashback for you guys since it has been so long.............

"Jump! NOW!!" Ordered Naruto. The two read her lips and did exactly what she ordered them to do. A sudden gush of wind and something that sounded like screeching was going through their ears.

"Kage: Bunshin no Jutsu(3)" Shouted Naruto as she performed the hand signs, and then two hundred Narutos appeared as if magic (sounds corny. lol) and surrounded the three leaf ninja.

"On the count of three. One. Two. Three! Attack!" Shouted the real Naruto to her clones.

"What can they do? They just shadow clones right?" Stated Sakura.

"Wrong. They are real, aren't they Dobe?" Inquired Sasuke.

"Yup!" Exclaimed Naruto. (The two read her lips just in case you are confused for this part.)

'I learn something new about her everyday. Kami-sama.... I going to get a lot of headaches in the future.' Thought Sakura as she continued to gaze apon the many blonde-haired shinobi. (Me is very sorry for you Sakura. lol)

--

"There's too many we can't take all of them." Shouted the Sound ninja known as Kin. The three were too engrossed in destroying all the blonde-haired girls that they failed to notice someone sneaking up on them from behind.

"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu" Shouted the Uchiha as he did the hand signs and a wave of fire in a flower-like shape. The Sound ninja barely escaped it, with only seconds to spare.

"Zaku what do we do now?!" Asked the girl of the group.

"We just sit back and watch." Was the leader's only reply. His bandaged face cool and collective. (If you were able to tell I guess, lol) Sasuke was just about to punch Zaku from the front, but Dosu saw it coming and grabbed the young Uchiha by the wrists.

"Kin, grab the poison out my pouch quickly." Ordered the leader.

"But Orochimaru-sama, wants him......." Pronounced the female sound ninja.

"It's not going to kill him! Now hurry!" Snapped Dosu. The girl quickly obliged.

"I'm going to kill you!" Declared the Uchiha; his sharingan in motion.

"Well we will see about that." Said the man. Kin quickly gave her leader the poison and went back to join Zaku to rid them of the Uchiha's very annoying blonde teammate.

"Let me go! Damn you!" Cursed Sasuke. Dosu then swiftly injected the purple liquid into the raven-haired teen and dropped him, knowing that the Uchiha couldn't do much with the poison running through his veins.

"Naruto, look! They did something to Sasuke! He looks like he's in pain!" Shouted the pink-haired girl, as she literally fought her way over to her blonde teammate. The blonde quickly turned to the area where her raven-haired teammate was and she could make out that he was on the ground in agony, with what appeared to be the leader of the Sound ninja's team smirking satifactory.

"Sasuke!" Screamed the real Naruto, seeing if the boy was still consious.

"Let's go already! Come on Zaku, Kin! We'll be waiting for you Uchiha....." Dosu pronounced and with that said he and his team left the battleground. Naruto and Sakura didn't care in the least bit. All their focus was on their suffering teammate, their friend. They ran over to the miserable Uchiha.

"Sasuke!?! What happened?! What did they do to you?!" Sakura questioned histerically. Tears streaming down her now very pale face.

"I think they injected some type of poison in him." Said Naruto as she looked at the small drop of purple goo on the Sasuke's arm. She took the drop and examined it by tasting it.

"He's unconsious. It's not life threatening though. This is a simple poison to attack enough white blood cells just to immobolize him." Informed Naruto as she got up from her knees.

"You know all that by just tasting it?" Questioned Sakura.

"Yeah. Baa-chan told me it was important to know these things in case one of you teammates were to be poisoned. I can make an antidote with some herbs." Articulated the blonde.

"Really." Asked Sakura.

"Yeah, but come on, we have to find some shelter first. Hopefully before those goons come back to finish the job." Said Naruto as she pulled Sasuke up and onto her back.

"Come on, let's go." Ordered the blonde. Sakura quickly obliged. After for what seemed like hours they finally found someplace where they could rest and hopefully help their raven-haired friend. It was somewhat like a small hut and completely under the tree. The roots were dangling giving it an eerie like appearance. The blonde put Sasuke down gently and collapsed on the soft soil beneath her. Sakura moments later too laid down on the soft ground.

It was dark out. The creatures of the night were now lurking for prey to devour. This was when the main character of the story decided to wake up.

"Huh? Sakura you awake?" Naruto drowsily inquired.

"Yeah. I've been keeping watch. Does that jutsu really drain you out that much?" Asked the pink-haired girl.

"Kind of. I guess I should be getting up now. So how's he doing?" Inquired the blonde known as Naruto.

"I don't know. He's been screaming in his sleep a lot." Informed Sakura.

"That's not a good sign. I'll go out and look for the herbs and some food while I'm at it. Can you look after him while I'm gone?" Asking the blonde.

"I would do that, even without you asking." Sakura stated as a matter of factly.

"Good, I'll be back in an hour or so. If I'm not back just be careful." Warned Naruto and soon she was gone from sight. Somewhere a mile or two away from team seven's camp a figure was lurking around.

"Sasuke-kun will be mine very soon." Hissed the person.

There done! Yay, mission accomplished. The part where Naruto was tasting the poison thing was from the third terminator movie. I thought it was cool so I decided to make Naruto like that android. Just without the metal part thingies. lol. And there was a hint to whom the mysterious person was at the end of the chapter. Hint, hint, to all of you readers. It is pretty obvious if you give it some thought. Well me has to say good bye........for now! Mwahahahahahahahahahaha. lol
