Thanks for the reviews and for waiting so here's the 2nd to last chapter!
Gaara quickly charged towards Sasuke, ignoring the fact he still had the blade to Sakura's neck. Sasuke smirked as he activated his sharingan and threw the pink-haired medic to the side. Gaara threw multiple punches towards Sasuke's face, but he ended up blocking them all. Let me out! I want to kill him with my own hands!
No, not yet. You'll destroy half the place.
Shukaku started to slam against the cage in his mind. Gaara quickly jumped away from the Uchiha and tried to get the furious demon under control. Sasuke smirked at the scene in front of him. "Looks like you can't even keep yourself under control. How do you expect to beat me if you can't even do that?"
Gaara gritted his teeth as wave of pain washed through his head. He could feel his fingernails starting to grow longer and his teeth become more pointed. I need to finish this quick before things get out of hand.
The red-head quickly spun around when he sensed Sasuke behind him. Sasuke quickly brought the blade of his sword down, but was caught by Gaara. He then gripped the blade and threw the sword, along with Sasuke, across his shoulder. The Uchiha rolled along the ground before regaining his footing. Let's see him dodge this . . .
Sasuke sheathed his sword and looked at Gaara as he raised his arm. Once he did, Gaara could see a strange marking along his forearm. Sasuke bit his thumb, and smeared a line of blood along the marking. He then quickly did a series of hand signs before a giant cloud of smoke filled the building. Gaara covered his eyes from the on-coming gust of wind. Once the smoke and wind had passed, the red-head lowered his arms and looked before him. That's . . .
Manda. I knew he'd bring that rat into this fight.
Gaara looked at the giant, purple reptile that stood in front of him. The snake's crystal blue eyes looked around the building they were in. His skinny, black pupil looked upwards, where Sasuke was standing. "What do you want, Uchiha-sama?"
Sasuke looked down at the reptile. "It seems the man before us won't leave and is becoming a hazard to my future wife."
Manda looked down at the red-head. "You couldn't take care of a runt like him?"
"Don't underestimate him, Manda. He's the vessel for the Ichibi."
"Oh? But that is a minor setback. Besides, he isn't even in his full demon form. What was the point of bringing me into this?" Manda asked.
Sasuke then realized what Manda was going to do. "No, Manda—"Sasuke stopped once the giant reptile was gone.
The brat should've realized that Manda never listens. He acts alone.
Sasuke landed on his feet as the cloud of smoke cleared out. His red eyes glared at the man before him. "Here me now, Kazekage-sama, I will erase your existence!"
Let me out now!
Gaara suddenly clutched his head as he fell to his knees. He jammed his eyes shut, trying to hold back the raging demon. Sasuke smirked as he watched the scene unfold. He looked at Sakura, seeing her on the floor with her knees pulled up to her chest. He grinned as he grabbed onto the sword's handle and turned back towards Gaara. But once he did he noticed that he was gone. Sasuke's eyes widened as he felt the red-head's chakra appear behind him. He quickly turned around, but was too late. "Got you!"
Sasuke was slammed against the rock wall. He looked and saw that sand covered half of his body. Sasuke tried prying the giant claw from around his neck as he heard a low hissing sound coming from the demon. He smirked as he suddenly grabbed a kunai and shoved it into the demon's arm. Shukaku let go as he squealed in pain.
The Uchiha smirked as felt the curse mark on his neck start to burn. The marks started to spread all across his body until it made his skin turn gray, his hair grew, and two giant wings formed from his back. "Now, let's see which of us is truly the strongest."
Goku quickly shot sand at Naruto, and sent him backwards. Naruto landed on his feet as he looked at the man before him. "You have an unusual power, but why do you use it for Sasuke?"
Goku looked at the blonde standing before him. "Lord Orochimaru killed my entire clan. I then realized that my only way of living was to join him."
"So you only help in order to live?"
"If you were put in a situation like that, I'm sure you would've done the same."
Naruto looked at the man before him. Orochimaru literally brainwashed him into thinking he was doing the right thing.
"What if I told you that there was something better than serving him."
"And what if I don't believe you?" Goku questioned.
Naruto stared at the man before him. "Come back to Konoha with us."
Goku's eyes widened at the statement. "You don't have to waste your life serving Orochimaru. If you come back with us, the jail sentenced would minimal compared to what it would be if we brought you back on Orochimaru's side." Naruto told.
Goku looked at the blonde and thought about what he had said. "Do you really think your family would want you to work for the man who killed them?"
Lowering his head, a sudden cloud of smoke surrounded him. Once it disappeared, Goku stood as his normal self. "Alright, I'll go back with you."
"If you want to go back you need to help us with our mission. How many other guys are in there?"
"At least twenty. All of them are in hiding until Lord Sasuke gives the signal. He's going to kill that red-head who went in there. All of this was a trap." Goku told.
"Chidori!"
Sasuke flew towards Gaara's direction, who smirked in return. Gaara outstretched his demon-like arm just as the Chidori went right into the demonic hand. He smirked as he grabbed Sasuke's hand and threw him across the room. Sasuke hit the back wall and then fell to the floor. Sakura watched Sasuke fall face first onto the ground. They had been fighting for what seemed like hours and nothing was being accomplished. Of course the two of them were only hurting each other, but either than that nothing was happening.
Sasuke stood up and looked at Gaara. If he didn't finish this quick, he would get stronger by the minute. Smirking, Sasuke suddenly disappeared. Gaara stood still as he tried to sense the Uchiha, but slowly started to panic when he couldn't. But once he heard a loud, chirping noise, it was too late. Sasuke's Chidori grazed his transformed arm, making it crumble to the ground.
Gaara fell to his knees, breathing hard as any evidence of the demon that was in control, slowly disappeared. Sasuke smirked as he walked up to Gaara and picked him up by the collar of his shirt. "You're not getting away, because I will break you."
Gaara's eyes widened as pictures of what happened months ago, came flooding into his mind. Sasuke chuckled as he threw the red-head to his side, making him slam against the wall at full force. Sakura placed a hand over her mouth as she heard a sickening crack echo through-out the building.
Sasuke walked up to the red-head's unmoving body. He slowly unsheathed his sword as he continued to stare at him. Gaara gritted his teeth as it felt as if his body was on fire. He looked and saw Sasuke getting ready to strike down with his sword. "Any last words?"
"Gaara!" Sakura screamed.
Sasuke began to chuckle as he brought the sword down towards the red-head. A scream suddenly echoed through the cave. Gaara stared wide-eyed as he saw the sword pierced in Sakura's back. "S-Sakura . . . w-why?"
"I-I can't lose you."
Sasuke frowned as he pulled the sword from the pink-haired medic's back. Once the sword was removed, she immediately started to heal herself, trying to stay alive. Sasuke walked up to her, grabbed her by the arm, and threw her towards the other side of the room. "If I can't have her, then no one can!"
Sakura watched in horror as Sasuke came towards her with Chidori forming in his hands. She closed her eyes awaiting the pain.
But after a few moments, she felt nothing. Sakura opened her eyes, but to only have them widen with shock. "G-Gaara?!"
Sasuke slowly laughed as he pulled out his hand from Gaara's chest and watched him fall to the ground. He then slowly turned back to his normal form and started to walk away.
Sakura felt tears run down her face as she fell to her knees. No . . .
"Sakura!"
