Chapter 5

When Sasuke had finally arrived to Naruto's house, he didn't know what to expect, but seeing his best friend openly cry in front of him definitely wasn't on the list. Sasuke had never seen Naruto cry, except that one time he had spilled his ramen, but this was different. Sasuke could feel Naruto's pain radiating off of him causing even him to feel a bit of sadness.

"I've really messed up Sasuke." Naruto sadly told the onyx eyed male as he wiped his teary eyes. He slowly paced back and forth trying to gather all of his thoughts as Sasuke watched him as he plopped down on the couch in the living room. Naruto was still dressed in an orange t-shirt and red boxers, Sasuke almost felt badly for not waiting to tell him in the morning and seeing Naruto so worried was something Sasuke wasn't used to even now. How was he supposed to comfort his friend?

"I knew it was a long shot to give him a second chance but I didn't think he'd do something stupid like this." Naruto continued as Sasuke came back to reality and suddenly raised a brow in confusion. He had no idea what Naruto was talking about.

"Naruto what the hell are you trying to say?" Sasuke asked annoyed as Naruto groaned in frustration thinking about what he was going to say next. The once sad look on his face had now turned into a scowl as Naruto stood still with his arms crossed looking at his best friend.

"Toneri kidnapped Hinata." Naruto responded seriously with a hint of anger in his voice. "Apparently she is the key to fulfilling the Otsutsuki clan's prophecy and he was hell-bent on getting her despite my orders when he knows that she belongs to me." Naruto finished with his blue eyes turning a blood red. Sasuke was surprised upon hearing what Naruto told him but right now he needed Naruto to control his emotions and relax.

"Calm down Naruto." Sasuke warned him as he glared at his friend to show his seriousness. He knew Naruto was feeling a variety of emotions, but he had to make sure the blonde didn't end up doing something stupid.

Naruto let out a long sigh as his eyes turned back into their original color. "Long story short, because of the prophecy, Toneri kept sneaking to the human world in order to find the girl who would practically unlock some ancient powers he has, but my dad kept telling him to stop interfering with human lives and put him in prison for continuously disobeying him."

"Then what's he doing here now?" Sasuke asked as Naruto quickly adverted his gaze from Sasuke's as he soon began to catch on that Naruto was hiding something. Sasuke was getting seriously annoyed with the whole situation especially upon learning that it was Toneri who was the culprit, but now Naruto was pissing him off more.

"Naruto." Sasuke said in a warning tone again as Naruto sighed realizing the truth was going to come out eventually.

"I-I felt bad for him so I pardoned him, and allowed him to search for the girl, but what he had never told anyone was that he had already found her and had been spying on her for years. Once I learned that it was Hinata I told him that she was already claimed by me and that I would still allow him to explore the human world but to stay away from her, yet still he's so damn persistent on fulfilling that prophecy that he completely went against me and kept stalking her."

"So you're telling me, that this shit is happening because you decided to deal with something your father already decided on?" Sasuke said angrily as Naruto let out a weak chuckle trying to not let his emotions get the best of him. He honestly felt so stupid because in hindsight this was his fault and now others were paying for his carelessness.

"I'll deal with you later, but what's the plan? Do you want me to try to track them down?" Sasuke asked as he thought about how Naruto's stupidness is what put them into this position to begin with and that freaking weird eye bastard Toneri would definitely pay for his betrayal.

"Dammit! That bastard!" Naruto yelled as he punched the wall next to him, leaving a large hole. Naruto knew that right now anything could set him off, especially with the lingering image of Toneri touching what belonged to him. Naruto shook his head at the thought as he checked his phone that had begun to beep. "Gaara's on his way so he should be able to give us more information to rescue her."

Sasuke frowned upon hearing the red head's name. He hated Gaara. Of course he had his reasons but all he knew was that since he was Naruto's friend and subordinate that they had to get along. Nonetheless Naruto's friendship doesn't stop Sasuke from hating Gaara any less and their anger against each other had been from when they were kids, but that red head always added another reason to the list of why Sasuke hated him.

After a while of waiting a loud knock on the door brought Sasuke back into reality as Naruto opened it. Of course it was Gaara with his famous cold, uncaring expression on his face that Sasuke despised.

"Naruto-sama, please forgive me, I couldn't get close enough to them and stop him while there were so many civilians around." Gaara responded as he came into Naruto's house bowing at Naruto's feet. He soon saw that Sasuke was also here, which wasn't a surprise since him and Naruto were almost like brothers. Naruto motioned for Gaara to rise as he stood next to where Sasuke was sitting on the couch and still didn't acknowledge his existence at all, which annoyed Sasuke even more.

"Also I have located where they are, but I couldn't access the area because of a barrier he had emplaced." Gaara added as Naruto began to think. He knew that Toneri needed Hinata to comply in order for him to fulfill the prophecy so he knew that he wouldn't hurt her, but he couldn't stop thinking about how terrified Hinata must be and confused. The more he thought about how she was at that bastard Toneri's mercy was really starting to piss him off.

"Where did he take her?" Naruto asked controlling his anger as best as he could. As Sasuke intensely watched the blonde in case he started to lose control.

"To an abandoned castle located on the outskirts of Konoha, so not far. Would you like to proceed there now?" Gaara asked as Naruto eyes shimmered red which noticeably made Gaara even sweat a bit. He knew that an angry Naruto was one that would be almost impossible to defeat and it scared even him.

"Let's go rescue Hinata and teach that bastard a lesson." Naruto angrily stated as he hurriedly went outside with Gaara and Sasuke right behind him.

"This is going to be fun." Sasuke said with a smirk as he cracked his knuckles and disappeared.
