Chapter 26

Under attack

"Ha ha ha! So my friends finally came." Laughed Tanaka. "Now let's have some fun!"

Sasuke activated his sharigan as six ninjas approached them from every direction.

"Hey, Yuya." Said a guy with black hair. "How could you get caught? You're really a pain in the ass sometimes."

"Well, what can I say…"

"Since we're here, let's have a little fun with those three!"

"Ok, but let me warn you, this one is Uchiha Sasuke."

The black haired man turned his attention to Sasuke as some of his companions looked now unsure of what to do.

"Oh, the sharingan. Look anywhere but his eyes." He said to his group. "What about the others?" he asked, watching Sakura put on her gloves. "What are there 'specialties'?"

"This beauty have more strength than any man I ever met. Might have a huge control of her chakra. As for the stupid looking blond, I have no idea."

"Huh, I'm sure Konoha would give us a good price just for the Uchiha but if we could try not to kill the two others that would make a bigger deal. Now let's get them!"

It looked like they had define roles before attacking as two of them went on Naruto, two others on Sakura and the last two on Sasuke. Tanaka Yuya decided to join his friends fighting the sharingan judging him the most dangerous.

In a instant Sasuke had taken out kusanagi and electricity ran on it's blade. He attacked the first one and brang him down in a split second.

Sakura who was trying to punch one of her assailant cried to Sasuke.

"Don't kill any of them would you?"

"Ha." Replied the Uchiha.

The one who seemed like the boss attacked him with a suiton. Sasuke watched expressionless as a huge wave approached him. In an instant, Susano was in front of him breaking the wave.

"What the Hell is that?" exclaimed the ninja, disconcerted.

"This," replied Sasuke, "is the last thing you'll see. Next time you wake up, you'll be in a cell."

He activated is mangekyou sharingan and the ninja was lost in his genjutsu.

Naruto invoked a kage bushin and proceded on making a rasengan but before he could attack on of his enemy had already sent something at him. Naruto stopped, searching for kunais flying or something like that but saw nothing. He then felt a little pain in his shoulders.

"What was that?" he asked.

"That," respond a red hair guy is the feeling of my invisible weapons when they hit you. Now no matter what, you have no more than ten hours to live."

Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura stopped on the spot.

"What?" asked Sakura. But she didn't wait for an answer as one of her assailant was already on her. Out of anger Sakura managed a huge quantity of chakra in her hand and crushed her punch on him screaming

"Shannaro!"

Sasuke watched the guy flying.

"I thought we shouldn't kill them." Said Sasuke. "Ok now let's stop playing."

Tanaka was obviously sending some of this invisible weapons to Sasuke but nothing the sharingan couldn't see. He avoided them easily and summoned a snake who attacked Tanaka. In a split second he had disappeared inside the beast. He then her Sakura screaming in pain and toward her in time to saw her put a knee on the ground, her abdomen bleeding. Both Naruto who had although his condition gotten rid of his attackers and Sasuke went to Sakura.

"I'm ok, I'm ok." She quickly said.

Those guys were specialists on invisible weapons. No wonder they were used to kill people discretly. Sasuke directed his mangekyou sharingan to the remaining ninja. The one with red hair sent more of his invisible weapons before being trapped in a pretty scary genjutsu.

Tanaka Yuya who had watched the fight from afar tried to escape discretely judging how dangerous to confront the Uchiha. Naruto saw him trying to escape.

Naruto let himself slid on the floor, the poison obviously starting to progress.

"Naruto!." cried Sakura kneeling next to Naruto who was catching his breath.

"I'm ok, Sakura-chan. Don't worry about-"

He didn't get the chance to finish as she was already sending chakra to him trying to define what kind of poison he had inside. Naruto looked over at Sasuke but couldn't get what he was thinking.

"Sakura-chan, you're hurt too. You shouldn't use your chakra on me."

Sakura worked on Naruto for a long moment while Sasuke trapped the rogue ninjas in his snake and sent a message to the mist to inform them of what had happened.

An hour later, ninjas from the mist arrived to take the prisoners away.

"Do you have any specialist in poison?" asked Sasuke to the ninja in charge.

"I'm sorry we don't." said the head of the ninja team.

"Sasuke, we should go back to the village. I think I have slowed down the progression of the poison but I need an antidote to heal him. Plus, I'll be more at ease if Tsunade could have a look."

Sasuke hesitated. Sakura, was injured too.

"Ok, but we're two days away from Konoha." He stated.

"If we walk, yes."

Sasuke got where she wanted to go.

"Sakura, I'm not sure it's a good idea. Naruto looks quiet week, right now and you're bleeding. "

She looked at her injury as if she had forgotten it was there.

"Oh." She said placing her head on her open wound, she managed to stop the bleeding but she had used too much chakra between the fight and with Naruto too heal herself.

"This is nothing, please Sasuke! We're loosing time!"

Sasuke saw the fierce look in her eyes and pondered for a few seconds before agreeing.

"OK."

They placed Naruto on Sasuke's back and started to run toward Konoha. As they went, Sakura was frequently checking on Naruto. She was worried to death. What if they didn't manage to go back before the poison spreads in all Naruto's body? No she shouldn't think about that. Naruto was strong.

They ran like mad although it was getting hard for her to keep up with Sasuke rhythm. Her wound was making her numb. It was already night time and they still were two hours away from Konoha. They were exhausted but Sakura didn't want to stop. The only break they had taken was to send a message to Tsunade to inform her about the poison so she could work on an antidote.

"Sakura, let's stop for a few minutes." Sasuke tried to reason her.

"No!"

Sasuke didn't try to persuade her. He knew that what bonded Naruto and his wife was special. He couldn't blame her. The only one he could blame was himself. He increased his speed, swearing to himself that Naruto would live, no matter what!

Crappy ending…, crappy fighting scenes…
