A\N: I'm back with another chapter. Chapter 14 right? Yeah I'm pretty sure its chapter 14. Anyway, I don't know what to say so enjoy!

Chapter 14

Sakura was frozen in shock. She couldn't believe what just happened. First Pain came out of nowhere and nearly killed her. But then Naruto got in the way again to protect her. She had a sad look on her face when she felt a surge of power….evil power. She looked up and saw Naruto with a dark aura around him. She was confused. She knew that wasn't Naruto. Then, she saw Naruto take the Chakra Disruption Blade and toss it to the side.

"So, the Jinchuriki is still alive? Interesting. The world has not realized what is preventing them from restoring peace to the world. Now, they shall suffer the consequences and feel true pain" said Pain. Naruto's fist tightened. Then, he released a enormous amount of chakra that blew everything around him away.

"This power. It's….incredible!" said Sakura in amazement. As much as she was amazed, she felt something wrong. This wasn't Naruto. She felt like she has seen him like this before, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Sakura! Get out of the way!" yelled Ino. She woke up and came back into realty. She ran towards Ino and Hinata who were hiding behind cover. She joined them as they watched Naruto and Pain rush at each other. Fist met fist, foot met foot as they strike with devastating power. Pain was surprised.

"How…how did you get so much stronger" he said panting hard. He hasn't even laid a scratch on him. He was tired already. Naruto on the other hand, wasn't affected at all. He just stood there.

"What were you saying about pain? Don't say things you can't deliver" said Naruto. He had maniacal voice. He was he had an evil smirk spread across his face. Pain eyes widened.

"What the hell are you?" asked Pain. He has never seen Naruto like this. He had a dark aura around him. "This… is not Naruto. He seems to be engulfed by darkness" thought Pain. He has only seen one person like this.

"I am….your worst nightmare!" said Naruto. Pain's eyes widened when he turned around to see Naruto behind him.

"Peek-a-boo, I see you!" said Naruto as he shoved his dark Rasengan into his chest. Pain felt the Rasengan tear through his chest. He felt his muscled being torn one by one as he was blasted away.

"Jiraiya is this what you were talking about?" said Tsunade as she stared at Naruto.

"Yeah. He seems like a Sasuke clone right now. He is being eaten by the darkness. It is taking him over" said Jiraiya calmly. But inside, he had tension in his body.

Tsunade and Jiraiya ran over to Sakura, Ino, and Hinata.

"Lady Tsunade, what are you doing here?" asked the 3 kunoichi's in unison.

"I should be asking you that question. You know it's dangerous right now" said Tsunade in a angry tone.

"I can't leave Naruto" said Sakura.

"That isn't the Naruto you know" said Jiraiya. Sakura looked at him in confusion.

"What do you me-"started Sakura before she understood what he meant. She glanced over to "Naruto". He was laughing manically. Her eyes widened as she started shaking. She was quivering in fear.

"Sakura? What's wrong?" asked Hinata in a worried voice.

"I understand. That's the Naruto…I saw in my nightmare" Sakura said as tears ran down her face. All their faces turned towards her in shock. Then, out of nowhere, Naruto started going on a rampage. He was destroying the mall, piece by piece.

"Hahahahahaha! I feel so alive" he said still destroying the mall. Everyone couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Naruto, the peace loving, caring, hero has turned into a destruction loving, merciless, bloodlust, and maniacal demon. Then, Pain came out of the rubble. His cloaked was torn from the Rasengan. Naruto turned over to him smiling. He saw the scar he had left when he first fought him. Then, he looked over at the newly made scar from his previous Rasengan. When Pain was about to assault him, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He realized he was not in the condition to fight.

"You win this round Jinchuriki, but remember I won't let you get away so easily next time" said Pain.

"No! I am going to kill you know!" yelled Naruto. He rushed at him, but before he reached him, he got away.

"Damn it!" said Naruto in anger. Then, he returned to destroying the mall. Then, he turned his head toward the gigantic hole in the wall. A grin appeared over his face. Sakura knew what he was going to do. He was going to destroy the village!

"No….I have had enough of this!" said Sakura as she started running towards Naruto.

"Sakura!" everyone yelled in unison. Before Naruto left, he felt someone clinging onto him on the back. He turned his head to see Sakura hugging him.

"Get off of me!" he said shaking wildly. Then, with a burst of strength, he grabbed her and threw her against the wall. His eyes widened when he saw blood coming down her head.

"No…no, no, no, no, no, NO!' yelled Naruto in anger. He grabbed his head as he screamed out in pain. Then, everyone heard a voice. It was a deep menacing voice. But it wasn't Kurama.

"No! You cannot separate from me!" the voice yelled. Then everyone realized, as shocking as it might have been, it was the darkness speaking.

"Shut up! Get out of my head!" Naruto yelled. Sakura stared him. He was gripping onto his head, screaming at the top of his lungs in agonizing pain. Then, all of the sudden, the darkness that was shrouding Naruto disappeared. He let go of his hand, revealing the blood on his hands from gripping on to hard. Then, he fell down on the rubble.

"Naruto!" yelled Sakura. Naruto eyes were barely open. The last thing he saw was Sakura running up to him. Then, his eyes closed completely.

Naruto woke up in the hospital. He tried to sit up but he couldn't. He felt a sharp pain flow through his body causing him to fall back down onto the bed. Then, Sakura entered the room with her eyes wide opened seeing Naruto trying to get up.

"Naruto!" she said happily. She ran toward Naruto and hugged him tightly. The pain came back.

"Sakura! Stop! You're crushing my bones!" he said in a weak voice as he lost his breath. Sakura let go with a worried look.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to" she said.

"It's okay. How long have I been out?" asked Naruto.

"3 days. Do you remember anything?" asked Sakura.

"The last thing I remember was running to the mall because I felt Pain's chakra. Then, I saw him throw a blade in front of you and I got in the way. It hit me and then everything went black" said Naruto. He looked up to see a bandage around her forehead. "Sakura? What happened to your forehead?" asked Naruto. Sakura hesitated to answer. Then she spoke up.

"Umm, Pain did it" said Sakura. Naruto gave her a look. He knew she was lying.

"Tell me the truth. Who did it?" said Naruto. Sakura sighed.

"You did it Naruto" said Sakura with a depressed voice. Naruto's eyes widened. Then he looked down. She saw he was depressed and he felt guilty. He gripped the bed sheet tightly as tears rolled down his eyes.

"Sakura…I'm so…sorry" he said gripping the bed sheet even tighter. She then put her hand on his, making him lose his grip.

"It wasn't your fault. It was just an accident" said Sakura trying to cheer him up. Then, Tsunade came in. She smiled seeing Naruto was up.

"Naruto, how are you feeling" asked Tsunade.

"Fine" said Naruto very quickly. Tsunade knew immediately something was wrong. Naruto would usually be complaining about being stuck in the hospital. Or at least have been happy that Sakura was with him. But he didn't feel either way.

"Very well. I will talk to you tomorrow. Right now I have important work to do" said Tsunade, She left the room and a nurse entered.

"Ms. Sakura Haruno, visiting hours are over. We will have to ask you to leave" said the nurse. She obviously knew Sakura cared about Naruto and it hurt her to separate them, but she had to follow the rules.

"No. She will stay. I have the Hokage's special permission to let her stay" said Naruto. The nurse nodded and left. Sakura knew he was lying but she smiled.

'It's getting late. I should sleep" said Naruto. Sakura nodded and got into bed with him. He held onto her tightly and Sakura fell asleep almost instantly. Naruto was still awake though. He was deep in thought.

"It's time" he said. He hugged Sakura tightly as he drifted away into a deep sleep.

Sakura woke up feeling cold and alone. She turned around to see Naruto was gone.

"Naruto really has to stop vanishing every time I wake up" thought Sakura. But on the dresser, she saw a note.

A\N: HAHAHAHAHA! You have to wait to see what the note says! In your face. Anyway, that was chapter 14. I was planning to make it longer but I scraped that idea. Anyway, review, and I will see you guys later. See ya.
