Bittersweet Return Chapter Four
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" A woman was screaming a few steps away from a man who was trying to fend off the rampaging jounin from his daughter. "Someone please help him! I beg of you!" The woman was going desperate and was clutching on to anyone she could see.
Sakura and the other jounins were also transfixed upon the assailant. It was Naruto, but he was different. He wasn't wearing his typical silly grins nor were his deep-blue eyes twinkling. Instead he had these cat-like eyes that were depicting so much anger and was casting fear amongst anyone who would look at it. He looked like a hybrid of a fox and a human.
Everyone was so horrified by what they were seeing that no one was able to move and help the helpless man in the middle of the street. Suddenly, Sakura felt something fast that went past her, which went straight to the berserk kyuubi. It was Hyuuga Neji, one of the strongest jounins of Konoha.
Neji quickly drew out his kunai from his pouch and threw it to the direction of Naruto's head. He used it not to kill the guy but only to remove Naruto's attention from the man to him. Naruto senses the kunai and grabs it with his bare hands. He tightens his grip on the kunai and looks for the person who distracted him.
Naruto sees Neji and goes straight for him, Neji on the other hand have already activated his byakugan and was about to finish a hand seal when Naruto was already in front of him within a split second. "What the..." Naruto slices Neji's chest with the kunai he threw earlier. Neji falls on the ground and blood starts to flow out from the deep wound Naruto have just given him.
Neji was already passed out but Naruto looked at him with pure loathing and kicked him to the direction of Tenten who was shivering madly and crying. Tenten quickly went to Neji's aid and used her own chakra to try and stop the bleeding. Not far from Tenten was an enraged Rock Lee. He was shaking with pure anger to Naruto who just so happened tried to kill one of his companions.
Lee was about to get revenge for his fallen friend when Tenten suddenly stopped him, "Lee don't!" Lee looked at Tenten in shock, 'Why would she want him to stop taking revenge for their friend?' "Lee, we have to take Neji to the hospital! He'll die if we don't. Let the others take care of Naruto! Right now the most important thing is to help Neji live!" Tenten managed to say through all her tears.
Lee looked at Neji and nodded, 'she is right. Neji needs to live, we have to help him.' Lee takes Neji's body and quickly goes off to the direction of the hospital with Tenten behind them. But no one even noticed Lee with Neji and Tenten leave they were all transfixed upon Sasuke, Kiba, Shino and Shikamaru who were all putting up a good fight against Naruto.
They have put a strategy to attack at the same time. At first Shikamaru used his classical and effective Kagemane no Jutsu on Naruto. It was successful and Naruto have stopped moving, giving the other three a chance to attack him.
Nevertheless Naruto was far more powerful than them and was able to break the Kagemane no Jutsu within minutes after their combo attacks. The kyuubi assault the four mercilessly without any trace of aggravation from the jutsus the four were throwing at him. Everyone was watching in terror as Naruto slash his opponents one by one.
Shino was the first to fall on the ground followed by Akamaru and Kiba who were also heavily wounded. Shikamaru and Sasuke were already tired and have almost used up all their chakra trying to restrain Naruto. But Naruto was still standing even through all the cuts and bruises that he has.
Shikamaru was gathering all the chakra he has left and was trying to perform the Kagemane no Jutsu again so that Sasuke could also use up his remaining chakra into subduing Naruto. The jutsu was successful and this time Naruto wasn't able to move for a longer time which gave Sasuke the time to gather his remaining chakra and hit Naruto hard on the back of his neck.
But the odds were really against them since Sasuke's blow wasn't hard enough to knock Naruto out. Instead, the blow made Naruto angrier which cased him to break the jutsu faster. He quickly gave Shikamaru a hard blow on the stomach, which made Shikamaru cough up loads of blood and fall.
Sasuke watched all this through all the exhaustion and pain. He fell on the round but was still conscious, and with all the strength he could muster, he tried to get up and face Naruto. But the wounds and cuts that he got were so painful that he could barely move and see what was going on. All he knew was that he needed to get up.
Not far from Sakura was a shivering Hinata, she was horrified by what she was seeing. 'That isn't Naruto...No it can't be...I mean how could he be like that?' Hinata was convincing herself hopelessly that the man in front of her wasn't the same guy she had always loved with all her heart. "Naru- kun..." Hinata whispers weakly as she watches Naruto hack and slash Kiba and the others.
Tears were starting to make a path down Hinata's cheeks, as the scenes get more and more gruesome. She closes her eyes hoping to remove the scene from her sight but the more she tries to remove it the more vivid it seems to look like. 'Someone must stop him...Stop Naruto-kun from hurting his own friends...I must stop him from the pain he is causing himself and others. I must stop him!'
With tears rolling down her face she runs toward the direction where Naruto is currently assaulting Sasuke. Sakura sees this and calls out Hinata's name, trying to discourage her but to no avail. Hinata goes between Sasuke and Naruto, shaking and very pale. "Naruto kun! Please don't do this! Stop hurting yourself!" Hinata was shakily shouting to Naruto.
But Naruto gave no notice to this and harshly pushed Hinata aside making her slam into a wall and cough up blood. He turns to Sasuke and kicks him hard on the stomach, which practically sends him flying of to the nearest tree. Ino looks at Sasuke wide eyed with worry. She hurriedly ran to Sasuke's aide and unknowingly became a target for Naruto's assaults.
Sakura got paler upon seeing this; she decided that she couldn't take anymore of Naruto's misbehavior. It was enough that he'd go berserk and destroyed town properties, but hurting her friends was another. She ran towards the direction of Ino and Sasuke and spread her arms wide like a shield for the two.
Sasuke and Ino stared at Sakura wide eyed with shock, Sakura was risking her life for them. Sasuke tried to stop Sakura from what she was doing but he could barely say anything from the lack of energy that he has and Ino was shielding him with her body too.
Naruto was about to strike them when he saw a flash of pink and green in front of him. Sakura closed her eyes in fright with what Naruto would do to her. He froze to his spot, his hand hanging in the air staring at the girl in front of him.
Rain started falling on his arm but he was still not moving it. While Sakura had opened her eyes to look as to why Naruto hadn't hit her yet. She looks eye to eye with Naruto, she was breathing heavily like she had just run a thousand miles.
Naruto's hand fell down to his side and his body started changing back into the Naruto he used to be. Witnessing as to what happened Naruto, Sakura lowers her arms and smiles happily. Tears were starting to fall from her eyes again. Naruto looks at Sakura with a tired expression on his face, smiles and then collapses in Sakura's arms.
Sakura, with Naruto in her arms, fell to her knees and embraced Naruto crying tears of joy. "Finally...It's over..."
AN: I am not good at writing fight scenes and I also wrote this chappie in a great hurry. But don't worry! I'll try to rewrite this chap and add the following chapters sooner!
