The Ultimate Betrayal Chapter 14: Gaara Lets Loose, a naruto fanfic

Hinata abandoned her Jutsu when she noticed thousands of white feathers drifting down. She made a handsign and shouted one word.

"Kai!"

She knew Naruto wouldn't know what to do, since he basically sucked at Genjutsu, so she had extended her chakra a little bit to reach him. It effectively woke him from the sleepiness that had started to wash over him.

Her thoughts were interrupted as a giant snake crashed through the walls, slithering towards the crowds of people. Mouth open, hissing, and angry, it was going for the civilians. Hinata's instincts kicked in and she ran for it, making handseals and muttering under her breath. She ran faster, making it to the large snakes tail only seconds before it lunged at its snack.

"Chidori!" She shouted, smashing her attack into the snake's tail.

She leapt up onto the scales of Manda, preparing another chidori as he turned to see who had bashed his tail up. A loud hiss could be heard in her ears and she plunged her hand wrist deep into his head, ignoring the urge to throw up. A roar echoed around them and she found herself falling, Manda gone save a puff of smoke.

Sasuke, having just finding his team again, jumped off the half broken railing. Hinata had just ran towards the snake going to eat civilians, who were now stuck in a sleep Genjutsu. Cursing under his breath, he whipped out a kunai and slashed through three ninjas in the air. He pushed off of one, using the momentum to catch Hinata as she fell. He only received a nod before she started rushing through handseals once again.

The raven landed and Hinata jumped down, just finishing the Jutsu. She spread her chakra through the ground and several spikes shot through the ground, spearing many ninjas. None hit a shinobi that wore a leaf headband.

Naruto had started fighting three sand nins once Hinata had leapt away. They had moved quickly, and he had made hundreds of clones to battle anyone not traitor to Leaf. He was so glad that he and Hinata hadn't gone all out yet, since that meant most of his chakra hadn't been used up. He roared and grabbed a random nin and smashed his head into the ground. Twirling, he spun the still body around, hitting a few more people. He made a few more clones to cover for him and ran up the wall next to him, searching for his team.

Kakashi guessed this would happen. He and Hinata had discussed this many times. It was still shocking, though, to have it going on. He uncovered his Sharingan and felt the power flow through him, giving him loads more courage to fight. It gave him motive. All around him, swords clashed, kunai were embedded in flesh, and people fell. Part of him felt sick at this mass murder, and he joined in, if only to save those he loved.

Hinata found Naruto and hugged him for a split second before spinning to kick someone in the ribs. A man dressed in all black slid a sword out of a scabbard and ran at her. A white mask adorned his face. ANBU. She rushed him, using her own sword against his. They battled it out only for a moment. Then Sasuke engaged the ninja, and together they battered him to death.

"Thanks" she murmured. He only nodded.

Naruto was waiting in the same place that she left him, only this time he had a few more bodies around him. He grinned a sad grin and she gestured up with her head. The three of them ran up and over the intact wall.

"Gaara and his siblings are getting away" she breathed, running as quickly as she could along the trees. Her friends were right next to her, scowls adorning their faces.

"Are we ordered to follow them?"

"Hai."

"By…?"

"…Me."

Hinata knew that she wouldn't be much help to her team if she didn't have any chakra left. She only had two chakra pills, and she didn't want to risk using those yet. She had two options.

"Sasuke. I need you to copy a Jutsu I do and use it right after."

"Why"

"Just do it" she deadpanned, sending him a glare. "I might throw something in there after. If we make it out alive."

"…Hn."

She started running through handseals, making sure that his Sharingan was activated before starting. His eyes spun, remembering them, and she whispered the name of the Jutsu just loud enough for him to hear. Then she pressed two fingers into Sasuke's shoulder, needing to funnel the Jutsu into someone.

"There" she panted, most of her chakra now gone. She didn't have that much left to begin with.

"Okay."

Now his hands flashed through the seals, going only a tad faster than she had. His hand came into contact with hers, and she took a deep breath as chakra flooded into her. She drew away only when she deemed him drained and nodded at him.

"Thank you."

"What….what was that?" he got out, regaining his breath as they ran.

Naruto glanced over at them and tilted his head before continuing to look forward, using his better senses to find the sand-sibs.

"I needed more chakra. Sorry, Uchiha, but I need the chakra more than you. I am a better fighter right now."

Sasuke's pride took a hit, and he scowled at her.

"Don't get all high and mighty, Hatake"

"You don't know how long I've been training, do you?" she questioned coldly, turning her gaze to his for a moment to glare.

"Whatever."

"Since I was five. Or six. Kakashi trained me. I know more right now. If we make it through this alive, I'll teach you chidori. The easy way. I promise."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, and then, "Fine."

Hinata gasped at the sight before her. At least twenty trees had been smashed or shattered. Gaara had sand covering half his body, and a large tail made of sand was shifting around behind him. One eye was replaced by a yellowish one, and sand bulged out that half of his face.

Naruto's eyes went wide, and he jumped off of the branch they stopped on to avoid the long arm composed of sand.

"Make me feel alive!" the Gaara beast howled, lunging for them with speed they didn't know he possessed.

Hinata had three senbon out, ready to throw. Sasuke was beside her, holding a kunai and Sharingan swirling. Naruto was clenching his fists on the tree next to them, ready for a fight. Hinata had to jump to another tree while throwing half of her hail of senbon when Gaara's sand-tail swung at her.

A blast of wind hit the female while in midair and she was shoved against a tree. She fought to catch her breath.

"Give up now" a voice said, partly quivering in fear.

A blond girl, Temari, emerged from some shadows and opened her fan to two moons. Hinata sneered and made a handseal.

"No way!!" Hinata got hit with another blast of air. She choked a bit, trying to gather some breath.

Temari got knocked out of the way, hit by an orange blur. Hinata coughed up blood before clenching her fists and jumping away to help her friends. Thanks, Naruto!

Naruto had finally accepted that this…thing couldn't be beat with normal attacks. So he drew up on all the anger, pulling on the Kyuubi's chakra. The red cloak surrounded him in a spiral before settling around his sharper features. His eyes were glowing red and his fingernails were sharper, forming claws. The blond's hair was longer too, along with canines that protruded a little further in his mouth.

"Stay away from my precious people!" he roared, charging on all fours towards his opponent.

Sasuke watched as Naruto transformed into something…feral. He paled and searched for Hinata. She was leaping back to the battle, hoping to help. A noise sounded behind him and he turned to see Kankuro and Temari advancing as a team towards him. He started laughing maniacally, an odd grin on his face.

The two ninjas going for him hesitated only a moment, but it was all he needed. He didn't bother with throwing kunai and rushed at them, reversing their roles. His friends were fighting for him; for everyone. He would fight for them, too.

"NO!"

Hinata knew that Sasuke would still be okay, even without the use of huge Jutsus. He had a greater speed than she did, and his anger could be honed a little better. He would be fine. She hoped.

Back at the main battlefield, Kakashi was still fighting with all his strength. He had seen many of the Genin fighting for their lives, but none had been his team. He wished that they had stuck with him instead of getting lost in the throng of blood.

Be safe!

"You'll never beat down Konoha's will of fire!" the Hokage bit out.

He was locked in a fierce battle with none other than Orochimaru, who had been the Kazekage in disguise. The evil missing-nin had created a barrier on the roof they were fighting it out on, and it was a one on one. He couldn't win, but he had to try. Only one thing he could think of might save everyone. At the cost of his life.

And then, suddenly, they fled. Sasuke, exhausted, let them go. He didn't want to know why the two siblings left their brother, but he guessed he was going to find out soon.

Hinata struggled against the sand. She was stuck to a tree, and memories came flooding back to her. She was terrified. Naruto was the only one fighting the Sand-demon now; Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.

Naruto was slammed into a tree and he made hundreds of shadow clones. Three caught and tossed him up while the rest distracted Gaara. Naruto couldn't even be sure that it was Gaara anymore. Only the red-head's sandaled feet were showing. Sand covered the rest of his body. Naruto roared and charged again, ready to beat the bastard. Hinata couldn't die. Not now. Not yet.

Sasuke finally got closer to the larger battle. Hinata was trapped. Shit.

The purple-haired girl stopped struggling. The more she wiggled, the more pain she received. If she stayed still, maybe the sand wouldn't kill her as quickly. She saw a flash out of the corner of her eye and she allowed a small smile to pass over her face. Sasuke was back.

Sasuke stayed close to Hinata, not knowing what he could do to help. He watched as Naruto got slammed into another tree. He didn't know why, but he opened his mouth to yell at the blond.

"Dobe!"

For some reason, he was surprised to see Naruto glance his way.

"You have to save Hinata!"

A glare was sent his way. Then a nasty smile.

"I already lost everything once before…I don't ever want those dear to me die before my eyes ever again!"

Naruto felt his eyes widen and his heart quicken. You mean…

"Kick his ass, Naruto-kun!"

Sasuke glanced over to Hinata. She was watching them with fierce determination.

"I know you can do this, dobe!"

Naruto felt more power and chakra flow through him and he grinned. Thanks, Kyuubi. Thanks, Hinata-chan. Thanks…Sasuke.

Kakashi couldn't stand it any longer and he summoned Pakkun.

"Find Hinata."

The Hokage of Konoha gave a sad smile before finishing his Jutsu and grabbing onto Orochimaru's hands.

"Goodbye, Orochimaru."

Goodbye, Konohagakure.

Hinata struggled for a moment, trying to get out. She didn't care anymore if she died. She just wanted to help her friends. She grimaced as the sand tightened around her. She almost panicked again but took a deep breath.

"Sasuke-kun! I have an idea!"

Sasuke turned back to Hinata for a moment.

"Hn?"

I hope I spelt everything correctly. Please tell me if I make a mistake - anywhere.

I hate my chapters being so short. They look longer in Microsoft Word....really! It was six pages...but then I uploaded it and it's only 2000 words. D:

Well, enjoy it anyways. I'll probably work on the next chapter first thing in the morning. Nothing else to do. I'm sick. Stupid pneumonia.

Keep reading and making me better with awesome reviews!!!
