I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS! I hope you like this chapter (I know it's kind of boring I apologize!). Hopefully I will be able to update more ! ENJOY! :)


Kabuto was fast asleep until his body woke him with a strange feeling creeping across his skin. His eyes opened and adjusted to the sandy colored wall. He knew this feeling all too well he gave a sigh.

"Yes Orochimaru?" Kabuto didn't move from his laying position.

"I think it's time to take both of them and move them to the cells don't you think?" Kabuto heard a small laugh escape from Orochimaru.

"Alright," Kabuto turned over on to his other side now facing Orochimaru and stood up. "Come now," Orochimaru turned and motioned with his hand as he walked out the door. The pale snake-like man stopped in front of the room that held the two young ninja. He had drugged hem pretty heavily so they wouldn't be waking any time soon. The drug was a combination of many things it probably wasn't that healthy but it didn't matter to him. Orochimaru had argued with Kabuto he objected the thought of using drugs but Kabuto ended up convincing him it was in their best interest. If Kabuto hadn't convinced him they would be in a prolonged battle with Konoha, and things would be difficult for them. They didn't want another battle like last time where he and Orochimaru were almost killed by Naruto. Orochimaru opened the door and walked in with Kabuto behind him. Sasuke was on the floor of the small room and Naruto was on the bed. Orochimaru picked Sasuke up and slung him over his shoulder he didn't think he could hold the heavy teen any other way. He knew why Orochimaru picked Sasuke up he didn't want to touch the young teen who almost took his life. Kabuto stood beside the bed and did the same with Naruto, Naruto made a slight noise as Kabuto slung him over his shoulder. He stopped and Orochimaru turned around to look at Kabuto.

"Is he awake? I thought you said they wouldn't be awake for a while Kabuto," his snake like eyes narrowed at Kabuto.

"He's asleep I assure you," Kabuto nodded at the powerful man. Orochimaru turned and started down the hallway with Sasuke's limp body over his shoulder. Little did they know Naruto was starting to wake from his drugged slumber. Naruto could only see the blurred motion of the floor moving. His eyes wouldn't open any further from the little slits he could see out of and his head was groggy. He heard footsteps and pieced things together, he was being carried! His body wouldn't move the way his mind wanted it to. He tried to move his arm but his shoulder only gave a small twitch the person holding him didn't seem to notice. He didn't try again just in case he wasn't really sure what was going on. Naruto felt the world shift and saw the ground disappear his mind spun until he felt the ground connect with his body. He had been put down and now all he saw was the two blurred figures. The two figures turned and Naruto recognized who they were and everything came back to him. He felt it like a punch in the gut, he wanted to move but still his body was restricted by the drug used on him. He was stuck in an awaken silence a prisoner in his own body.

"This is how I feel" the fox's voice echoed. Naruto ignored the foxe's comment and soon dizziness took over and he fell back into the drugged sleep.


Tsunade dug through the closet in her office till she found the small box. She opened it and grabbed one of the folded papers and tossed the box on the floor.

"Shizune!" Tsunade started flattening the paper on her desk.

"Yes Tsunade-sama?" she looked down at the paper with markings on it.

"This is a map of all the hideouts that we've found that belong to that damn snake,"

"How is this going to help us he wouldn't be that dumb to go to one of those,"

"That's not what I was thinking Shizune. If we can find a pattern or something between the hideouts then we can possibly pin point where the boys are. I know it's a long shot but I have nothing else to go on unless the ninja sweeping the woods come back with anything,"

"I'll take it to Shikamaru and the others,"

"Please do," Tsunade nodded at Shizune and gave a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder. She knew that she had to find the two boys. Orochimaru could turn them into the nation's worst enemy and there wouldn't be a way to stop them. She gritted her teeth at the thought. She would definitely get them back.


Sasuke had begun to wake with a groggy haze over him. He lifted his head from the cold ground and was greeted by bars. His mind swam from place to place as he shook off the rest of the haze from his mind. He was back in another cage! He swore out loud and turned over onto his stomach to look around. He saw Naruto next to him and started to nudge him lightly.

"Dobe?" Naruto stirred and turned his head toward Sasuke.

"Teme," Naruto's voice was raspy as if he hadn't spoken in a week.

"I'm so sleepy I remember them carrying us...Kabuto and snake face," Naruto let his eyes shut due to the drugs he was forced to take.

"Naruto don't go to sleep on me now. They must have given you a bigger dose," Sasuke didn't finish the sentence because he knew if he mentioned the nine tails Naruto would think he was trying to insult him. Naruto opened his eyes and looked at Sasuke.

"How are we going to get out of this mess?" Naruto was only moving his head but not the rest of his body.

"Naruto can you move the rest of your body?"

"I can't, but it's coming back slowly," he gave a sigh.

"We always seem to be in an f-in cage!" Sasuke sat up in frustration his head throbbed with dizziness but it calmed down as he took in deep breaths.

"Now I would watch your language Sasuke," Sasuke tensed at the hiss of a voice. He looked up with narrowed eyes at Orochimaru. Anger arose in his chest he wanted to rip apart the pale man in front of him.

"Shut up you fucking snake!" the raven had a scowl on his face. Naruto stayed silent he couldn't look in the same direction as Sasuke his head could only move so far.

"Kabuto the drug seems to have worked very well. I'll take note of it," Orochimaru had a small smirk on his face. Naruto felt himself get angry and mumbled something under his breath.

"What was that Naruto?" Kabuto wiped off his glasses with his shirt then looked at Naruto for an answer.

"I said you guys are fucking idiots!" Naruto was yelling at the wall which made his anger grow. Kabuto chuckled at the young blonde then left with the snake. Naruto swore at them as they left which proceeded to get chuckles as it faded down the hall. Sasuke was still looking at the spot where the two scumbags had been. He wanted to know what they had planned for the two of them.

"Sasuke turn me over would ya,"

Sasuke slid over towards Naruto and log rolled him over into his back. Naruto realized that he was on his back before but wasn't sure how he got on his stomach.

"Sasuke...did you move me to my stomach before?" he looked questioningly at the raven haired teen.

"No," Naruto shuttered at Sasuke's response. That meant that one of the nasty scum turned him over. Naruto mumbled threats under his breath which caught Sasuke's attention.

"Can you even move any other part of your body but your head?"

"I can feel my toes," Naruto lifted his head to look at his feet. He gave a smile at his wiggling toes and tossed a smile in Sasuke's direction. Sasuke couldn't help but smile at the goofy blonde, somehow he always found light in a bad situation. They needed to find a way out of here it seemed like they always were trying to find a way out of most things.


Sakura was with Ino at the training grounds. They had sorted their differences out about Sasuke and now fantasize about him together. It did take time for them to realize that they really aren't that different. Both girls had been training hard and sat down to rest. It had been almost two days since Sakura had last seen her teammates. She was bothered by the absence of her two teammates. Ino picked up on the pink haired girls mood and sighed.

"Sakura what's wrong?"

"I haven't seen Naruto or Sasuke, and even Kakashi!"

"Yeah so? Isn't it peaceful?"

"No..."

"Oh come on Sakura lighten up!" Ino gave her a playful punch on the shoulder. Sakura didn't smile at her or even move, her gaze was at her hands in her lap. Ino needed to get Sakura's mind off of her team mates. Ino knew something fishy was going on because of her father's sudden absence at home. She wasn't sure whether it was tied to Naruto or not.

"Why don't we get an early dinner what do you say Sakura?" Ino tilted her head and raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know..." Sakura started.

"Fine then suit yourself sulking is going to do you any good," Ino crossed her arms as she got up from where she was sitting.

"I guess you're right," Sakura got up and brushed the dirt from her clothes.


Shikamaru lightly knocked on the Hokage's door and was let is by Shizune. He walked in and stood in front of Tsunade's desk which was filled with papers and other things. She greeted him then shoved a stack of papers off to the side of her desk. She was hopping for good news but was also prepared for bad news if it came her way.

"The map..." Shikamaru started "There may be a possible pattern to where the hideouts are placed," he placed the map on her desk and pointed at two hideouts not too far from each other. "These two are only a few or more miles apart... but these ones over here are a day's travel away," he pointed to the other hideouts. "So what we are thinking is we could make possible maps, but there would be so many possible map variations..." he trailed off because he knew she would get it. What they found wouldn't really help at all it just made things impossible. She shook her head this wasn't going sitting around but what else could they do?

"Well the damn fools are bound to travel they can't stay in one place for too long. I want all of the Hyuga clan scoping different sections of the woods and I want them accompanied by AMBU," Shizune nodded with a determined look in her eyes she left in a hurry out the door.

"Shikamaru I want you Choji and Ino to distracted Sakura at all costs. Things could get complicated if she knew about this and we don't need her going off by herself that seems to be a theme for team 7," he nodded and left to find Ino and Choji. He knew where Ino was, she was with Sakura already probably gossiping about who did what and such. He knew Naruto and Sasuke's situation and it didn't seem good. They had no clue how the seal would hold on Naruto that's why he wasn't allowed out of the hospital. Shikamaru was worried about the nine tails getting out, it would be total chaos. This was going to be hard to keep away from Sakura and her prying personality.
