A/N: Oh no!!! I just realized that I forgot to post this chapter! DX Okay, so here's the next chappy! Yay! It's taking me everything to not move from this fic to my Code Geass one! I have to update this one tho… Well, here's the chappy!
Naruto slumped on his couch. He had just got done being yelled at by Pein and now he had to listen to Tsunade yell at him for leaving the village without letting anyone know.
"You did a bad thing Naruto. You're lucky Pein didn't punish you more severely," Itachi said from the window.
"I know. I'm just tired. I've been brooding over things for awhile now and my composure just slipped. It won't happen again. Unless your younger brother pisses me off," Naruto replied laying his head back on the couch.
"Naruto, this is your first big mission. I understand the stress you're going through. Is there anything that would make it easier?"
"If someone else from the Akatsuki were here with me. That person would be able to keep me in control."
"I'll see what I can do," Itachi left then.
Naruto walked into the kitchen and pulled out a cup.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Naruto walked to the door quickly and opened it.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Sakura asked.
Naruto made a quick nodding motion and went to shut the door.
Sakura pushed the door open and held it there. "I know that something's up. You have said anything to me all day! Ever since you got back!"
"Sakura, I just…I can't do this," he whispered shutting the door. His heart was racing, his face and palms were sweating, and he felt all flustered. He didn't know what was going on. He looked at the floor and tried to calm down. It wasn't working.
You're losing Naruto. As you fall for Sakura I become stronger. Aren't you tired of all this? I could make it all go away. Kyubbi told him.
What are you trying to pull? I'm not letting you take over to fix MY problems!
I could make them all go away. I could destroy all the ones that you don't want around you. I could help you find your mother.
Don't you DARE talk about my mom!
We both know you want to meet her.
Leave me alone. Naruto left his house and walked around Konoha.
"Naruto!" Itachi called. "It's been moved up! Five minutes!" He ran off.
Naruto started to panic. He had to keep Sakura out of harm's way. He ran to her house and burst in. He looked around everywhere and couldn't find the pink hair girl.
He ran through Konoha waiting for himself to run into Sakura. Four minutes later all the Akatsuki members had shown up at the gates.
"Damnit!" Naruto cursed. He ran from the gate and to Tsunade's office. Trying to keep up with his part of the plan. Keep Tsunade busy.
"Naruto, I don't have time to deal with your problem," she told him scurrying around the room grabbing different things from hidden drawers.
"Lady Tsunade. I'm sorry," he whispered as he started to attack her.
"Naruto! What are you doing?!" She exclaimed blocking him blow for blow.
"I'm keeping my promise to Itachi-sensei!" He yelled shoving her toward the window. She fell out and landed on her feet.
"Don't force me to do this Naruto," she warned.
"Ooh! I'm so scared!" He said sarcastically. He already knew how strong she was from being in the village with her. He threw a punch at her and landed a hit.
Tsunade's countenance changed to a determined one and she punched the ground beneath her.
Naruto felt the ground tremble beneath him and jumped up to avoid a wave of rocks and ground. He fell to the ground and breathed hard. What he had just seen scared him to death. He ran from Tsunade to the West gate of Konoha.
Tsunade chases after him perplexed as to why he would run off.
Naruto stopped at the West Gate and fell to the ground holding his head.
As Tsunade got closer she understood why. Sakura was lying on the ground unconscious.
A/N: So, there it is! Sorry if this is soooooo short. I kinda got bored at the end and if I end it here the next chapter is set up really well. Well, can't wait for my reviews and next chapter will be up around next week!
