My mind flashes back to the sight of Sasori, several swords protruding from his woden body. Flashing through our fight. I gently lift a hand to the scar on my side, where I was nearly stabbed to death.
"Hate to tell you, but it's the latter." Sakura says, a wary look in her eyes. To my surprise, Kabuto grins, looking to the treeline.
"Excellent." He murmurs. I make a face.
"What are you going on about now, Kabuto?" I say angrilly, gritting my teeth. I feel a small tremor beneath me and my mind wanders to the fight across the gorge. Kabuto doesnt respond. I suddenly keel over, even though I am on my knee's and my head wrenches across the gorge. I gasp as I see three large gates erupt from the ground. Sakura's eyes widen and Yamato grit's his teeth. Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light and I cover my eyes with my arms. Kabuto's eyebrows furrow and he makes a small noise.
Where's Sai in all of this?!
Smoke erupts from where the gate-like objects stood and my eyes widen.
"What was that?!" Sakura wonders. I sit up again and my gaze flickers over to her. Suddenly something dark flies into the air, followed by a long, snake-like object. I gasp.
"Get down!" I wrench Sakura's head down beside me and Yamato lifts his arms as something shoots towards us, a stream of dust following behind. Whatever the object was slams into a boulder nearby and I grit my teeth as Sakura gasps. I can identify something that appears to be a large sword.
So that snakey thing is Orochimaru... and his blade of Kusanagi..
Kabuto smirks, moving his arms away from his face. We look up and gasp at the sight before us. Yamato's eyes narrow.
Naruto, four tails active, lay across the rock. The sword attempts to peice him but the Kyuubi Chakara won't allow it. My eyes widen in horror as I notice Naruto's condition, his blood mixing with the Kyuubi's Chakara. His eyes and mouth are a blazing white and his teeth sharpened to a point.
Kabuto lets out a chuckle, smirking. "He's more like the Kyuubi than ever." He comments. Sakura's face shows a look of pure terror. "Naruto." She murmurs, her eyes portraying a look of pure sadness.
If I weren't shaking in fear I would be crying, but I dont. We all stand hurriedly and watch Naruto closely. Naruto tenses before letting out an earsplitting roar. I cover my ears quickly and wince. As the roaring ends, I gingerly move my hands away from my ears. Yamato lifts a hand to his head.
"Got it. Keep watching him, then." He says, moving his hand from his ear. Naruto's hands slump over the sword, not in a pained manner, but almost as if he's thinking. My eyerows turn upward in worry for my friend. I think back to when we were just Genin... well... he still is one... whatever you get the point. An image of Naruto in his bright orange jumpsuit appears before me.
Kanami-chan!
The image gives me a cheeky grin and a small laugh.
Thats... Naruto? I mean I've seen him like this before but...
I notice the sword struggle to push past the Kyuubi Chakara and I grit my teeth, I feel a prick behind my eyes.
No don't cry dont cry dont cry!
Instead of peircing into Naruto's body, the sword pushes him into the rock, making it break away slightly.
"Naruto!" Sakura calls. My body shakes in fear. I've always been afraid of Bijuu in full form, and having seen this ferocious creature as my friend and noticing the difference, even if he's not in full form it terrifies me. My legs tremble and Sakura casts me a sideways glance. Yamato's eyes widen. "Is he...?"
Naruto's clawed hands reach up and clasp onto the blade of the sword, he suddenly wrenches it sideways. Kabuto gasps and leaps over the sword. Yamato grabs Sakura and I leap as high as I possibly can into the air. The bridge finaly collapes, falling into the water below and we land a few feet behind Kabuto, who smirks. "Instead of a battle between ninja, this is more like one between monsters." I make a face.
"Call my friend a monster again you ass!" I exclaim, clenching a fist and moving forward. Sakura grabs my arm and pulls me back, I sigh. Kabuto chuckles at mine and Sakura's eactions to the situation and I grit my teeth. Sakura lifts a shaky hand to her chest in a worrid habit. The sword receeds back to Orochimaru and his creepy ass long neck.
Orochimaru's head moves and Naruto lets out a roar.
"Just look at that thing." Kabuto says in a taunting sort of way.
Kabuto! You're pushing my gaddamn patience!
"Did he want to save Sasuke-kun so bad that he turned into that?" My fear turns into rage and I tremble not only out of rage but still out of the worry and my phobia. It seems that kabuto knew hed get a reaction out of one of us as Sakua makes a sad face. I remember back during the Sasuke Retrieval mission... Naruto had promised me he'd bring Sasuke back. He hadn't then but he hadn't given up. We'd gone on the Bikkochuu mission together and so many others. He was so focused on Sasuke. Tears well up in my eyes and Sakura lets ut a tiny sob as tears trail down her cheeks.
"He's even lost control over his whole body." Kabuto continues. I clench my fist.
