I'm about to go through stats again. I know I want to feature everyone that's important, like Makoto, Naruto, and Sakura, and those are currently the only people that have changed.
Sakura: Ninjutsu 2, Taijutsu 3, Genjutsu 3.5, Intelligence 4, Speed 3, Strength 2, Stamina 2, Hand Seals 5, Total: 24.5
Naruto: Ninjutsu 3, Taijutsu 3.5, Genjutsu 2, Intelligence 4.5, Speed 3.5, Strength 3, Stamina 5, Hand Seals 1, Total: 25.5
Makoto: Ninjutsu 3.5, Taijutsu 3.5, Genjutsu 2, Intelligence 4, Speed 3, Strength 2.5, Stamina 4, Hand Seals 3 Total: 25.5
Oh and about this chapter- I'm going to go back and edit some later. I just wanted to get this out there so I can move on.
...
"Sakura you've got to wake up..." I said as I shook her near lifeless body. The cursed seal was going to kill her… her body isn't strong enough. She passed out and I knew she was dying… I had to carry her to the hospital.
I picked her up and shunshined to hospital as quickly as I could…
When Sakura woke up lying in my arms with nurses surrounding us she screamed.
"I know… the pain is terrible but you must try to live. The Cursed Seal that you have is reacting badly."
"Ma… ko… to…" Sakura groaned. She passed out again, but maybe the prognosis was worse when Kakashi arrived outside her door when the screams stopped and she had been fully treated. I attacked Kakashi with a hug.
"I was too scared to move; the curse mark is reacting worse than mine she said…"
"Alright, I know, but who exactly said this and why?" said Kakashi.
"Excuse me… I really hate to break it to you both but Sakura isn't waking up anytime soon…"
I released Kakashi and turned to a busty blonde woman with brown eyes. She was wearing the Hokage hat. "You didn't tell me that you were now the Hokage!" I said.
"Yeah and I didn't either until the Hokage was reported to be dead by nightfall. I got a message from Jiraiya and was just given the honor several minutes beforehand, but it seems our killer didn't strike only the Hokage. Are you aware when your team were attacked by Orochimaru that Sasuke was also given the cursed seal that later was the cause of his death? The same thing is happening to Sakura, but this time we were able to save your teammate." said Tsunade.
"So she's sleeping?"
"She will miss the Chunin Exam finals, but luckily, she'll wake up and will be healthy enough to watch. She's very confused because paralysis has set in and it will start to go away soon, but she'll have a long road to recovery."
"Can I go in and see her? Will she be able to speak?" I said.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt… she can speak."
I was first to come in through the door, expecting the worst, but nothing was worse than this…
"Where is she? Did we get the wrong room?" I said and my heart sunk. "Oh my god."
"She's gone… I can't have this mess on me right now, damnit. Kakashi, start a search party. What I think we should do is search the streets-"
A ninja appeared in a puff of smoke... "Tsunade-sama the barrier squad just reported 5 minutes ago that a whole squad and three extra people were leaving the village. What should we do? All the ninja on duty we cannot risk using because we have many foreign ninja are present. Now that the previous Hokage is now-"
Tsunade screamed at the top of her lungs, "What do you mean we need all of the ninja on staff?! Don't make me angry!"
"I'm sorry…" said Kakashi calmly, "But I believe we can put together a small team to track them rather than mass-exodus. Maybe we pull together the four people that will work the best together and Makoto will lead them.
"It might just work."
"Wait a minute. It's really important, I know that… but don't you think someone else can lead those people!?"
"Well I see no other way, Makoto. Are you afraid to be the leader of this team?" said Tsunade. "If you say yes you're dead."
"Get Shikamaru, Neji, Choji, and Kiba." I said, "We're going to save her."
…
We took off into the night with the wind whipping our ears, and we jumped from branch to branch heading further north after I found and could follow their chakra signatures with my eyes. The cruel fact was, I didn't know where this would lead me. Fate lead me here today, and Fate would either lead me along with my makeshift team to success, or to my doom at the Valley of the End.
I had no idea where to even begin with the similarities, but I wouldn't be fighting Sasuke… I knew there were three extra people. Naruto stormed out the meeting room for the council, I suspected the worst had yet to come. Naruto was practically unbeatable now with his Eternal Mangekyou. But the thing is I had mine as well.
We came into a clearing and I could feel one of the chakra centers was closer. It was like his massive chakra was overwhelming, and when a rock giant flew towards us, I smashed it with my chakra enhanced strength.
"Hm. You guys may be tougher than you look." said the fat guy, "Name's Jirobo, I'm the one who will stop you guys in your tracks."
I activated my Chidori. "Chidori Current!"
The Lighting went everywhere, but Jirobo grabbed in in his hands and began to eat the chakra he caught. Just what I wanted. He fell over, but instead of being paralyzed he just looked angry. I could tell it worked to some extent though.
"Makoto, let me handle this guy." said Choji.
"The Chidori Stream reassimilated inside of him and tore up his insides instead of being absorbed… don't worry about his outward strength and try to avoid his hits. Strike him good once and you'll be able to beat him." I said
"So why didn't you just fry him?" said Choji. "How did you know he could absorb chakra?"
"An attack from the inside was better. And I didn't… I expected Chidori Current to knock him out somewhat so we could all go… but Choji, be careful, he doesn't look like a weakling."
"Right, so come on, he's starting to recover." said Neji.
We all took off into the trees and circled around the clearing to find that slightly down the road, Tayuya was waiting.
"So, who's going to be my lucky opponent? The useless weakling looks good." said Tayuya. "Hey, Nara boy… you were in the finals of the Exams weren't you? Try and catch me with that shadow of yours."
Shikamaru groaned, "How Troublesome… I have to fight a woman."
"Yeah, now come at me you sissy."
We took a dive around and Neji and Kiba stopped in another clearing where there were webs everywhere…
"Well, looks like I have three choices… who will be caught in my web…" said Kidomaru
"Neji, your defense is greater than anyone else's. Try going head to head." I said. "Come on Kiba."
We kept going and going for hours, it was almost morning and we finally caught sight of the last two Chakra Center and Kiba said, "Keep going Makoto! This guy is mine."
…
When I reached the Valley of the End, Naruto had tried up Sakura and she was still unconscious and probably still paralyzed. We stood, the leaves from the surrounding trees, and our hair blew in the wind.
"Give her back."
"We've already given her Sasuke's Sharingan… there will be no giving her back unless you fight me." He then picked up and threw Sakura down the waterfall, but a rope made her dangle there under the direct current of the water. I tried to jump towards her and Naruto stopped me by punching me straight into the wall of rock on Hashirama's side. He was so strong! How was I going to defeat him?
He used his eye the next moment to lock onto me with formerly my own right eye. I called it the Hawk-Eye Sharingan. It gives 20/2 vision, you can follow movement perfectly and you can even zoom in on an opponent for the loss in peripheral vision. I still had this power myself so I act I used it to lock onto him as well, and I jumped back from the the other side of the of the waterfall to meet his fist.
"Damn you Naruto! You're just finding an excuse to abandon the village. Who cares about our father? Who cares about Itachi? Sasuke may have told me to kill every Uchiha that stood in my way, but why must you offer Sakura's body to Orochimaru- is that what you're doing? What do you have to gain from this? And why can't you just accept me as your sister rather than just a wall keeping you from achieving greatness? What about Hokage?" I said
Naruto smiled and laughed. "There was a time when I had a dream… this dream kept me going for a long time. But after entering Anbu at 11 I was changed. People looked at me different. They saw my strength, but I could never get over losing my squad which ended my career. I didn't ever want to see my best friends die. When Sasuke died, it all made sense.
"He told me that I must betray the village to find the killer of my squad and my best friend Akira. She was everything to me. When I saw Sasuke actually happy to be with you, after a year of hiding in your shadow at the Academy, I decided to take him away from you. I swore allegiance to Orochimaru when he asked if I wanted power.
"And do you know the person who took away my innocence? It was our father. You are dead to me… I never wanted a spawn of another great failure to be just like him."
"You're wrong. I will not fail you or anyone else."
"Then why did you lose control during the fight Sasuke died in? Wgt fight for only yourself? You're exactly like me. Lonely, with no friends… no family. And you want to kill me don't you?"
"I can save you… you don't have to do this."
"Then fight me and die. You can't save me!"
We bounced off the two large statues of Madara and Hashirama, but he didn't do more than a glancing blow until he kicked me down into the water from above with the Lion Combo. Imagine a backwards belly flop off a tall, giant diving board. The Kyuubi saved my life as I floated there, I could see Naruto hanging there on a wall, and he barreled towards me as I tried to regain self awareness.
I stood up on the water and dashed away. Since there was a lot of water, I went through all the Hand Seals twice as fast as I normally did and used the Water Dragon Bullet technique.
It slammed straight into the waterfall, but he had replaced his body with a Shadow Clone. By this time red Chakra was cloaking me and I was on all fours, my mangekyou was fully activated in both eyes and I used Susanoo as well as my 360 vision in conjunction with it. Naruto used his Susanoo, which was more developed than mine since he had trained it for longer. He didn't think to use my powers in his Sharingan or his Tailed Beast Cloak.
I Susanoo's clashed weapons, and my dual blade Susanoo sliced through his shield, but the double edged sword of Naruto's Susanoo knocked the left blade out of my Susanoo.
I felt very faint for a moment, and I realized my Ninetails Chakra Cloak was starting to take control of my actions. I had already gotten to three tails, and I felt the fourth one coming, while my own reserves were dwindling. Flashing through the after images of the fight, My Susanoo was deactivated, I slammed my claws into Naruto, and he stood at the end of the waterfall, half dead. However, Naruto had gotten away, but Kakashi laid me next to Sakura, and I woke up.
"Hey. You okay?" she said with her new Sharingan eyes.
"Yeah… maybe just because you're safe. Can you move?"
She sat up, and so did I.
"Why did Naruto betray us?" Sakura asked.
I tackled and hugged her. "Sakura… I never knew you would make me fight so hard. Sakura, I love you, and I don't know what that means to you, but it means a lot to me."
Kakashi smiled. "Well, if you girls want to go back…"
"Sasuke's eyes are within me now… I bet I'll be able to control these in no time." said Sakura, patting me on the back.
"Sasuke would have wanted you to have them." I said. "Let's get out of here, okay?"
…
Part 1, officially complete! Yeah, didn't expect this to be a really big finish… still, I could have done better. But the timeskip will happen next therefore more excitement will come sooner rather than later.
Okay? What's on your mind? Review please to tell me what you think. Also, if you think it's arbitrary to put an OC that means nothing to story, in other words a girl named Akira, well, she's actually not dead and will become a very big part of the story in the future of this story. Naruto just think's she is dead when really she's still alive.
