Sasuke looked at the Akatsuki's hide out worriedly when they arrived. He had to go in there and save Naruto. He had to go now.

"You can't go in there," said Sakura. She knew what he was thinking just by reading his body movements, which was rare because Sasuke was very good at hiding his thoughts and feelings.

"I have to," said Sasuke still staring at the entrance.

"You have to stick to our plan and that's not part of the plan," Sakura said.

"He's in trouble," Sasuke pleaded.

"You'll only put him in danger by going in their. We have to wait for Naruto to call us in."

"What if he can't?"

"You know very well Naruto knows when it is necessary to call us and no one can stop him from doing something that he decides that he needs to do."

"But what if it's too late?"

"Sasuke," Sakura scolded, "you have to trust him."

Sasuke waited impatiently for a moment longer, shifting from one foot to the other as he watched the entrance, until he couldn't wait any longer. Without telling Sakura he rushed the entrance and was inside before she could stop him.

"Sasuke!" she called out. "Darn him. Leave it to him to be irrational at the one time that he has to be rational. Kakashi-sensei," she said over the radio to their sensei who was on the other side of the hideout.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Sasuke's gone in," she said.

"What?" Kakashi practically yelled. "I told you guys to wait for my order."

"Well apparently Sasuke wants to be a hero."

"Fine," sighed Kakashi, "Wait there. I'll come to you and then we can go in after him."

"Sorry Kakashi-sensei," said Sakura as she started running towards the hide out, "but I'm not just going to sit her while my friends are in there fighting by themselves."

"Sakura don't!" was all Kakashi could get out before the thick outer layers of the hideout blocked their radio connection.

Sasuke was sprinting down the hallway when he tripped on a small metal wire that he had not seen. "Damnit!" he yelled as the alarms went off all around him. He had to get to Naruto right away. He wouldn't allow anything to happen to him. Each person he passed by he would take down with one slash of his long katana and then move on. Any who didn't die with his first shot he just left behind so that Sakura could take care of them.

Finally, he felt Naruto's aura in his range of senses that he had widened for that one purpose, but he also felt two more very powerful people coming towards him. He readied himself to fight them as they approached him. He turned the corner to be faced with a young woman and a small child. Sasuke hesitated for a moment when he saw them because he thought that the Akatsuki only recruited strong men and women, not children. His hesitating moment gave the other two enough time to ready themselves for his attack so that when he thrust the sword at the woman the young child was able to knock it away with just his hand. He didn't have the time to fight these two. He needed to get to Naruto.

The child picked up the large sword and held it as though he had been a swordsmaster for many years longer then he had lived, and yet he held the sword in a way that suggested the use of a much larger body. "Wait!" gasped the woman in a chirping tone as the child readied itself to fight Sasuke.

"What?" said the child as he held the sword awkwardly in front of him.

"He has a Konoha head band," she chirped.

"I don't have time for this!" yelled Sasuke, "Let me pass or I will kill you."

"We won't let you through," said the child.

"No," whispered the woman, "Let him through."

The child looked at her carefully before finally sighing and saying, "Fine," while he flipped the sword so that the handle faced towards Sasuke.

Sasuke took the sword back and quickly ran past the two without even stopping to thank him. However, his curiosity did prompt him to look back once so that they could see the faces of the people who were different from all the other Akatsuki.

The only thing Naruto could feel now was the weight of many people holding him down. He could no longer feel his wounds as his body had become numb and his mind had become dizzy.

"You idiots!" he heard someone yell. "Don't kill him. We need him alive to get the Kyuubi."

He felt the men loosen their grip on him and so he took his chance and let out a large burst of chakra. Everyone on top of him flew into the air and he was able to jump to his feet. "You will never get ahold of Kyuubi. I will never do as you tell me to do. And I will not destroy and villages with children no matter how much you torture me," he said as he eyes grew into slits and his chakra encompassed his body. The chakra was white and anyone near by him could feel it's heat burn their skin as though it was a fire flicking at them. There was a moment of silence and then Naruto slowly moved his arm forward making the chakra fly towards one of the men before him. He continued to move his body faster and faster killing more and more people with his burning chakra. No one could even get near him to try to stop him and his white fire, but they could throw kunai at him. They threw any weapon they could find at him, but only a very few of them were able to actually hit him. Those that did burned his skin so that he would not bleed.

Even with all the wounds that he was sustaining he still kept fighting until there was only a few people left to face him, but then he was stopped when one of the kunai finally pierced his chest where his heart was. His heart stopped beating for a moment so he could not move for a short second, but that was all the time one of the men needed to take out their sword and thrust it straight into Naruto's stomach making him cough up blood. He couldn't breathe and he couldn't move except to look up at the smirking man that held the sword as he fell to his knees.
