Chapter 50

--

Sasuke sighed as he sat in his house, remembering the empty seat at the sweets shop. "He's back...he's back and I know it." Sasuke told himself as he remembered Itachi's words to him.

"Underneath the third panel of our fathers bedroom holds the secret to achieving the ultimate level of the sharingan. It was copied from the Uchiha Hideout." He could remember the foul voice so perfectly. He wanted to destroy the secrets, but now he wasn't sure if he should read it or not.

He clenched his fist. "I need power to destroy you; I will avenge our clan Itachi."

--

Naruto let out a loud yawn as he awoke from his 8th day of travel with Jiraiya. "Damn it, how could you lose Obaa-chan Jiraiya?" Naruto grumbled, but the old man was no where in sight.

"Oi Naruto, we are leaving again." Jiraiya said as he appeared in the window.

Naruto groaned. "Again? But we just got to this town."

Jiraiya nodded his head. "Hai, but she's not here."

Naruto grabbed his bag. "Damn it, I never realized how boring it is to be with you without Naka around."

Jiraiya sighed. "Shut up brat,"

Naruto tilted his head back. "Am I going to learn anything cool while you're wasting my time?"

Jiraiya grinned. "Well we could work on your control of elemental chakra and Kyuubi."

Naruto nodded. "I suppose so, but how do suggest we do that?"

Jiraiya held up his hand, holding a cat toy in his hand. "You remember how I taught you the Rasengan right?"

Naruto face drop. "You can't be serious. That's...that's a cat toy."

Jiraiya jingled the plastic ball around. "Hai, inside is a bell. How do you suppose you are going to move the bell?"

Naruto sighed. "Move the ball, duh."

Jiraiya glared. "Brat, this is serious."

Naruto sighed. "If it's anything like the Rasengan, then chakra."

Jiraiya nodded. "Very good, Getting smarter." Jiraiya pulls out a chakra seal and slaps it on the ball. "How about now?"

Naruto blinks. "Hrm...air, right?"

Jiraiya grinned. "Wind to be more precise."

Naruto frowns. "But if the seal absorbs chakra how do I move the bell? I have to infuse my chakra with the air to control it."

Jiraiya nods tossing the ball to Naruto. "That's for you to figure out. Good luck, because it's a migraine harder than Rasengan."

Naruto frowns as he glares at the cat toy. "So I'm supposed to use wind to move the bell…however I need to infuse my chakra into the element to move it. But the seal absorbs any chakra that it comes in contact with."

--

Naruto grumbled at the knock on his door. "What does Ero-sennin want now?" He grumbled while opening the door, only to come fact to face with two black cloaks with red clouds. His face hardened as he looked up.

"What do you want?" He asked, his other hand behind the door gripping his sword. "Uchiha Itachi…Sasuke's older brother, but why is he here?"

"To think that this little boy has the Kyuubi within him." Kisame spoke with obvious disinterest of Naruto.

Naruto eye twitched slightly "Are they after the Kyuubi?"

"Naruto-kun you're coming with us." Itachi said in his monotone voice "Let's go outside"

Naruto clenched his teeth. "Kisame of the legendary swordsmen and Itachi. Not good." Naruto poofed his sword back into the seal and stepped out into the hallway.

"Hmm Itachi-san, it would be annoying to have him moving around. Perhaps we should cut off a leg or two." Kisame reached for his sword while walking up to Naruto. "Shall I?"

"It's been a long time." Itachi said, stopping Kisame's approach toward Naruto. "Sasuke"

"Uchiha Itachi" Sasuke said with venom in his voice.

"The Sharingan, and he's very similar to you. Who is he?" Kisame asked in curiosity

"My Little brother." Itachi said.

"Uchiha Itachi...I'm going to kill you." Sasuke said as he released the straps on his arms. His sharingan stared at his brother with pure hatred. "Like you said…I hated you, detested you, and just to kill you I've..." The chidori chirped as he yanked down his collar hinting to the curse seal "I've survived."

"Chidori?" Itachi said with a little interest in his voice.

"I'm going to kill you." Sasuke shouted out, charging at Itachi with his chidori. "DIE!"

Itachi remained motionless and then with a simple flick of his wrist he grabbed Sasuke's wrist and slammed the chidori into the wall.

"Shit" Naruto cursed as he flooded himself with the Kyuubi's chakra, yanking out a scroll only to have kisame cut the chakra away and absorb it into his sword as Itachi broke Sasuke's wrist.

Naruto cursed to himself as he tossed the scroll away, poofing his sword into his hands. But Kisame moved too fast and swung his sword down on Naruto

With a puff of smoke Jiraiya's armored toad blocked the blow. "You two...don't know me very well. Jiraiya the man is better at winning a girl than at being seduced by one." Jiraiya smirked. "I wouldn't let a woman seduce me with her beauty. When you become great like me, women will go crazy over your own beauty."

Naruto sweat dropped slightly. "You've got to be shitting me." "Yeah right, you'd fuck anything with a pussy that moved ero-sennin. You're just a big pervert."

Jiraiya frowned "Don't call me that in front of people"

"But it's true." Naruto said, glaring at Kisame and Sasuke.

"Heeheehee, your reputation is true to its word." Kisame said, failing to hold back a chuckle.

Jiraiya glared. "So you're after Naruto?"

Itachi nodded. "I see now, you were the source. It is an urgent order by our organization to take Naruto-kun with us."

Naruto and Jiraiya remained still. "I can't hand Naruto to over to you. So I guess I must take you two out here."

"Don't interfere" Sasuke roared out while getting back onto his feet with a struggle. "The one who's going to kill him...is me." Sasuke roared out.

Itachi shifted his gaze to his little brother. "I have no interest in you right now." He said coldly, only to have Sasuke clench his fist.

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke shouted while charging, only to have Itachi's faster reflexes kick him back into the wall.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled, preparing to rush over to Sasuke's aid, only to have him glare at Naruto.

"Naruto, I told you not to interfere!" Sasuke hollered, moving back on his feet "I told you before, I've lived until now...for this moment...for this day." Sasuke said, glaring at Itachi with his Sharingan. He poofed his chukuto into his hand, charging at Itachi.

With one hand Itachi grabbed Sasuke's wrist, blocking the chukuto as he kicked Sasuke in the gut, forcing him to drop his sword as he went flying again.

"I'm not through yet...this is my battle." Sasuke said, standing up again.

"Very well" Itachi said as he began walking towards Sasuke very slowly. Sasuke charged at him, only to get a punch to the gut followed by an elbow as Itachi mercilessly beat Sasuke down.

When Sasuke finally fell to the ground Itachi lifted him up by the collar. He looked Sasuke dead in the eye. "You are weak. Why are you weak?" He moved closer to Sasuke whispering in his hear. "Because you lack...hatred."

Itachi smiled slightly as he pulled away, activating his Tsukuyomi.

--

"Is this...could it be." The young Sasuke said as Itachi spoke.

"That is correct, this is our house." He said, appearing behind his mother and father. "You are weak. For the next 24 hours you will wander around hopelessly reliving that day." He said while hacking down his own mother and father, the blood splashing onto the floor as he smiled.

He forced Sasuke to watch him murder every single clan member over and over as he smiled in a twisted manner. "You are not even worth killing foolish little brother. If you wish to kill me you must hate me, detest me and survive in an unsightly way. Run and cling to life."

He tortured Sasuke over and over with the same twisted smile as he replayed the massacre again and again. "I will help instill that drive you need to hate me little brother."

--

Naruto charged after Sasuke, giving Jiraiya the chance he needed as he flipped through seals. "Kuchiyose: Gamaguchi Shibari"(Summoning: Toad Mouth Trap)." He placed his hands on the floor, finishing the jutsu.

The walls began to spew the sticky substance of flesh and enclose everything around them inside.

"You're out of luck Kisame and Itachi. You're inside my stomach now. I summoned the stomach of a gigantic toad from the myouboku Mountain's Rock inn. There is no escape."

"Kisame, come." Itachi ordered as the turned down the corridor.

"It's useless. No one has ever escaped from this before." Jiraiya said as he forced more chakra into the jutsu, sending tendrils of flesh chasing after them.

There was a long silence until a large explosion caught Jiraiya and Naruto's attention. "They used Amaterasu." Jiraiya said as he stared at the black flames arranged near the burned hole in the fleshy wall.

Naruto crunched his teeth. "We seem to have a problem Ero-sennin."

Jiraiya nodded his head. "So we do. But they will not be coming back for awhile. Itachi used Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, he will certainly be drained.

Naruto turned to the walls surrounding the body of Sasuke. "We need to get him back to Konoha."

Jiraiya nodded. "First I must seal up these flames"

Naruto nodded as he pulled out a scroll. "Let me Ero-sennin. You should rest."

Jiraiya nodded as Naruto pulled out a blank scroll and began writing a seal on it before flipping through his hand signs. "Fuuinjutsu Fuukahouin." (Sealing Technique, Fire Suppressor."

Naruto slammed his hands on the end of the scroll as he flooded his chakra into the seal while it started absorbing the black flames into the seal.

Jiraiya released his toad's stomach just in time for Gai to perform a dynamite entry on Jiraiya.

Jiraiya sighed as he lifted himself off the ground, fixing his broken nose. "Gai!"

Gai rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry Jiraiya-sama, you see I was looking with my headband and -"

Naruto held up his hand. "We actually don't care. We need you to get Sasuke back to the hospital in Konoha. He suffered psychological damage from the Uchiha. Tsukuyomi as well as several broken ribs."

Gai nodded. "Hai, hand him here I will get his youthful spirit back to Konoha as fast as I can."

Naruto handed over Sasuke. "Please…be okay Sasuke."

(AN: Yes, Pretty short chapter but... Yeah... All those wondering why Sasuke and Naruto went down so easy... This is Akatsuki the big bad evil guys... But mostly because if they didn't then things wouldn't seem right.

If that's not believe able, Sasuke was to angry to think correctly.

Next Chapter: Isolation, New Jutsu Revieled.

Naruto: "... I did it, Hell yeah take that you stuiped cat toy. Whoot go Naruto, Go Naruto you dah man you beat the cat toy."

...

Sakura: "Baka" Cover her face in shame. "And I'm supposed to be falling inl ove with him... Fuck... How the hell did this happen?"

...

Naruto: "Heeheeh, Because I'm not an asshole bent on revenge and power, I actually care for you Sakura-chan and show it." Naruto let his eyes sparkle. "Besides, I'm cute like a little adorible fox you just can't resist me." Sakura bashed his head in.

...

Sakura: "Okay the first was a good point Naruto... Na-ru-to put the stuiped cat toy down Naruto or has Kyuubi truely warped your brain that much."

...

Well that was strangly satifying for some reason... Okay anyways yes Naruto will learn his next technique using a cat toy, Come now this is very real and I think that if it was really being taught it might just use a cat toy... I mean dam it. Jiraiya taught him the rasengan with water balloons and rubber balls and it's a pretty kick ass jutsu.

Oh Just to quickly point out to a reviewer, Kage bunshin might be Naruto's signature jutsu in the first part but it's known by every Hokage, A few ex nin's and most of the jounin population of Konoha, If you've read any shippudden or watched it. You'll notice just how many people know it thus I decided to make Naruto's siganture move for this a little better.

Exploding Clones... Come now they have all of Naruto's flare and plus some. Only Itachi and Dedrai know how to make clones explode.

As for Naruto training with large amounts of clones... Yet no using them durning fights is because unlike fights he is actually trying to waste his chakra to train his compasity, I thought I had explained that back in the first arc when he was teaching it to Sakura and Sasuke.

I hope that cleared up your confusion dude and I hope you enjoy the rest of Early Team because... If my mathmatical sense is right their are still about 10 chapters till this Arc ends and I've already started working on the timeskip.

Lastly to Rauchster, Nah your review didn't get me down you're pointing out my flaws in respect. Something I do appreiate since I am trying to improve, What get's me are stuiped arrogant flames, People that do not paying attention to the author notes then insulting something because they didn't pay attention. Or simply flaming because they dislike the pairings and those just mostly piss me off because of the reviews stuipditiy. I really don't let bad reviews get to me to much but I won't lie and say they don't... Just like everyone else I have self esteem issues lol... Why do you think I write on FF.N

But I do greatly enjoy the encouragement many have sent, I probably would have grown tierd of writting ET if it wasn't for people telling me it's great.

My last two notes of the evening are, Still looking for a volienteer beta for the first Arc and basically the chapters 1-30. So please offer the possition is still open who knows if Darnod wants he might let you help him beta the advance it gives you a inside scoop of just what is comming... He has all of Arc II it's just he's got a life unlike me currently who sits and types 100 words a minute and flys threw pages.

The last note: Once Arc II comes to an end... Me and Darnod will probably be taking a break, 361 pages is enough writing, But with anyluck you won't even notice the break because . It's already started for me.

However the Updates just will not be every day the only reason you have it now is simply because their's so much we can afford to do it.

I'll update those notes when the end of Arc II comes after all I can't predict the future or my moods I don't want to burn myself out on ET yet I'm not going to hold back if I get into a big writting mood.

Thats all for today, have a good evening. Oh and party, Early Team has reached it's 50th chapter and it's still rolling on strong.
