Chapter 2: To Each His Own

This was not good Sakura thought. Sakura's whole body was trembling; her usually lovely pink hair was frizzed and all over the place. She was surrounded by Naruto's clones, they all looked identical but she knew which one was the true Naruto because of the blood dripping down his side. The wound that he received from the previous shinobi was bleeding a lot and this fight was not helping at all.

Sakura slowly pulled a kunai knife out and hid it behind her back. This time she would not just stand back without helping. Men in black and red cloaks surrounded them. They were also wearing pyramidal-shaped straw hat. Whoever they were the situation seemed bleak. A loud voice broke Sakura from her thoughts, "I won't let you harm Sakura-chan, you Bastard! Go!" Just at that moment, all of Naruto's clones sprang forward towards the men in cloaks.
Sasuke was breathing hard. He had a broken leg, two broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, cuts all over his body and he was currently on all fours. Needless to say he was having quite some trouble with the huge sound Shinobi. "Damnit..." Sasuke cringed as he spat out some blood.

I won't give up, Sasuke thought to himself. "If I can't even defeat this guy how can I expect to defeat him...? Sasuke said to himself. With a grunt of pain Sasuke grabbed his shoulder and popped it back into place. He must be at least a chuunin, Sasuke thought dismally, probably even a jounin. "There's only one way I'll possibly be able to beat this guy" Sasuke pause for a moment as if he was catching his breath, then simultaneously opened his eyes and yelled "SHARINGAN!"

The Sound Shinobi was quite enjoying the fight. He was indeed a jounin and he had the total upper hand in the whole fight in fact he had just been playing with Sasuke the whole time. He watched with a smirk on his face as the genin in front of him rose from the ground stumbling slightly and closed his eyes.

He must be praying the sound shinobi thought to himself, still smiling. The Genin opened his eyes and yelled something, but what it was the sound shinobi couldn't really understand. (Ironic isn't it?) But as soon as he got a good look at Sasuke's eyes he understood. "The Sharingan mirror wheel eye...Uchiha huh?" The sound said to himself "I thought that whole clan was wiped out by Itachi-sama, oh well, it'll be my honor to kill this kid!"

Sasuke rushed towards the huge shinobi full force. The sound shinobi began forming a series of hand seals then yelled "SHOCKWAVE NO JUTSU". He slammed both palms one on top of the other into the ground creating a huge ripple of earth spreading outwards in every direction. Sasuke leapt straight into the air to avoid the wave and made his own series of hand seals.

"GRANDFIREBALL NO JUTSU" Sasuke shouted and then fired a huge fireball towards his enemy. The Sound Shinobi quickly performed another series of hand seals making a huge slab of ground shoot up to block the fireball.

"Ha, for being a member of the Uchiha clan this kid is weak, he's nothing compared to Itachi-sama. I think I'll play with him a little more." The sound shinobi said out loud as the fire from the fireball roared around the huge slab. The sound slammed his fist into the huge slab of rock and shattered it instantly. He expected to see the kid rushing towards him again but in fact the kid was nowhere to be seen. He spun around looking for Sasuke but he couldn't see him anywhere. "Ha, be probably got scared and ran off, little chicken wuss." The shinobi said to himself with a laugh.

Just as he was about to leave himself he heard a voice say, "Hey, behind you," The Sound Shinobi spun around with a look of shock on his face just to see Sasuke burst up out of the ground with a big blue electrical spark in his left hand. The Sound Shinobi tried his best to move out of the way but it was too late..."CHIDORI!!!" Sasuke yelled as he plunged his hand straight through the Sound Shinobi's chest.

Blood splattered everywhere as they both fell to the ground. Sasuke laid on top of the huge Sound Shinobi. Sasuke pulled his hand out of the now dead Sound Shinobi and slowly rolled off of him and laid on the ground on his back. He was breathing heavily and he couldn't even move one inch, but despite all this he smiled. "Yea, I did it...Brother you're next." he whispered quietly to himself as he slowly slid out of consciousness. Although Sasuke had won his battle things were not going as well for Naruto and Sakura. The clones were no match for the men in cloaks. Naruto was doing his best to fight on but it was clear that he was running out of chakra.

"KAGEBUNSHIN NO JUTSU, KAGEBUNSHIN NO JUTSU, KAGEBUNSHIN NO JUTSU!!!" Naruto yelled creating more and more clones, but it was useless. The men in black cloaks almost instantly destroyed every clone that Naruto created.

"Naruto, stop if you keep using the kagebunshin you'll die!!!!" Sakura cried trying to stop him. "No, I can't Sakura-chan, if I stop, there will be nothing between them and us!" Naruto replied, forming the hand seal once again.

Tears started to swell up in Sakura's eyes. It's useless Sakura thought, they are just too powerful and there are just too many of them. But there has to be another way! Just as Naruto summoned another batch of clones the men in black cloaks stopped moving.

"What's going on?" Sakura said to herself quietly. She found herself surrounded yet again by Naruto's clones. She looked over as the real Naruto to find that he wasn't doing so well. He was still clutching he side as blood dripped off of his hand, sweat was dripping off of his face and he was breathing heavily.

A look of worry came over Sakura's face. Oh no, all of this stress is taking its toll on Naruto, especially with that wound. I've got to get Naruto some help or he might die! Sakura thought desperately. Unfortunately at that moment that was the least of her worries.

One of the men in black stepped forward, he slowly took his straw hat off. Sakura gasped when she saw his headband. It was a Leaf, just like the ones Naruto and herself were wearing only his had a gash straight through the middle. She was not quite sure who he was or what he was after but she knew what that gash meant. "You traitor!!!" She screamed.

He replied with a very deep voice, "Ha that's right I am a traitor so what?" Sakura grinded her teeth in anger and shouted "YOU BASTARD, how could you do this!?". The man seemed to ignore Sakura's last comment and looked towards Naruto, "I can't believe this kid is my target, if I'd have known he was this weak I couldn't have wasted my energy with all of these clones."

Just as he said that all of the other men in black cloaks disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Ah, I see" Sakura said out loud, "He was using the Kagebunshin as well! This should make things a little easier Nar..." "You're from the Akatsuki, aren't you?" Naruto said solemnly cutting Sakura off.

"Ha, so you no about us." The man in black said with a laugh. "Yes, I was sent by the Akatsuki to perform a very special mission and you're my target, Naruto-kun." The man had a very dark smile on his face.

Hold on, Sakura thought, what is this Akatsuki, and what do they want with Naruto? "I know what you're after!" Naruto replied angrily. "AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT!!!" Naruto screamed as his clones once again leaping towards the man in black.

The clones didn't stand a chance however and the Man began beating the shit out all of them. "Naruto, what are we gonna do, the kagebunshin is no match for him!" Sakura whispered to Naruto. "Don't worry Sakura-chan, I have a technique that can beat him but I need your help to pull it off." Naruto whispered back. Naruto formed his hands into a hand seal again and yelled "kagebunshin no jutsu!" Instead of a whole batch of clones appearing, there was only one, "...One last time" Naruto said quietly

The Man in black quickly disposed of the rest of Naruto's clones and began walking slowly towards Naruto and Sakura. He noticed that there were two Naruto's. He probably ran out of chakra, and could only form one last clone, the man in black thought.

The real Naruto stood up quickly and yelled, "GO!" The last clone charged the man but he quickly backhanded it in the face knocking it aside. A look of pain splashed across Naruto's face and he fell back on the ground grasping his wound. "NARUTO!!!" Sakura yelled.

Just as the man in black was nearing the two children the Sakura stepped firmly in front of Naruto and spread her arms. "I won't let you hurt Naruto-kun!" She shouted. The man smiled and said "Awww, how sweet." He knocked her aside in the same manner and continued walking towards Naruto. "Sakura-chan!" Naruto's clone yelled as it ran over to Sakura.

Naruto had a look of pure fear on his face, as the man in black loomed right in front of him. The man bit his left thumb making it bleed and pushed it deeply into the center of his right palm. "Don't worry you won't die." As he said this he began forming a strange mark of blood with his left thumb on his right palm. He continued the mark up his right forearm as well.

He then began a long series of hand seals finishing with the bottom of his right hand on top of the palm on his left hand. The mark on his right hand began to glow red as he grabbed Naruto by the shirt and lifted him off the ground.

The man in black had a look on his face almost as if he was in pain as he hit Naruto in the stomach with his marked palm and yelled "KAIIIIII" Naruto screamed as a huge flash of blinding light red light appeared and then faded.

The man in black's face looked grim. "What happened? This was not supposed to happen. WHERE IS IT?" he bellowed grabbing Naruto's shirt and lifting it up. "It's not there..." the man in black said weakly as he dropped Naruto on his back.

A puff of smoke enveloped Naruto and showed that it was not Naruto at all, it was in fact Sakura. The look of shocked increased on the man's face, "If that was not Naruto-kun then..." The man spun around to see Sakura and Naruto's clone in a strange position.

Naruto still looking like Sakura with a look of pure hatred on his face had his left hand clutching his side and his right hand containing an orb, which the clone seemed to be pushing down upon with both hands. "Now take this you piece of shit!!!" Naruto yelled as jumped forward the hand, which held the Rasengan cocked back.

The man although capable of moving just stood there waiting for Naruto's attack. There seemed to be a look of great fatigue and melancholy on his face. Regardless Naruto did not notice as he slammed the Rasengan straight in the chest of the man in black.

Sakura opened her eyes just at that moment to see a huge blast of chakra right above her. What surprised her even more was that she could she the man in black at the head of the small looking tornado, his body being blown backwards with ease by the force of the Rasengan.

The Man in black finally stopped when he was slammed into a huge boulder. The force of the hit however was so great that the boulder was actually smashed in by the man in black's body. He had a huge gaping wound for a chest and almost every bone in his body was broken. Needless to say he was dead.

"W-what was that? Naruto was that you?" Sakura stuttered. She got up slowly and turned over to see Naruto collapsed on the ground. "NARUTO!" she screamed rushing over to him. "Just wait...I'll get us outa here!" On the outskirts of the forest another figured robed in Black with a wide straw hat stood on the tip of a huge tree, he had been watching the battle. "That child may be more than he seems" He said quietly. "No matter, this was just a test anyways..." In the blink of an eye he was gone.
