Betrayal

~*~

A/N: Hmm… that's a good start! 8 reviews isn't bad! It's a great start! Considering that I forgot to turn off my anonymous review filter! Stupid me!

Durian: Thank you for being my first reviewer! -throws confetti and blows kazoo- thank you thank you thank you!

Death Boo: Yes, Yes, but since the Naruto gang is now 15... Er… was… forget it. Orochimaru found out what he was missing. Powerwise, I mean. Is that even a word? -goes and looks it up-

SoulRetriever13: O.O? Love? Hoo, that's a new one… and I forgot to press save changes! -hits herself with frying pan- Stupid me! Thank you so much for the lovely review! No pun intended!

Kurisuteru-chan: Wow, that's a long name… and thanks! Here's more!

RuByMoOn17: kk! Thanks for the review!

Starcat: Poor Naruto thought? Whaddaya mean by that? But thanks so much for the review!

Foxgrl: Thanks a lot!

Anime Lass: I don't really say anything about it, but it's mostly for Kyuubi's power. Read this chapter to find out how! Torture…? Huh?

Disclaimer: Naruto owns me, but I don't own it.

Chapter Two

~*~

"So the best way to mold chakra is…"

'Focus on you, kit. That's how it works.'

"Uh… meaning…?"

'Feel the chakra inside you. Can you feel it, kit?'

"Yeah…"

'Mold it together. Like Rasengan. The when you mold it, release it.'

"Oh…"

'I still don't understand why you use that technique. Use one of mine, kit.'

"I use it because it's less destructive than yours, Kyuubi. If I used yours, then I would eliminate the whole squad I'm working with."

'You don't want to do that?'

Naruto thought for a moment.

"Maybe."

'Don't lie, kit. I'm part of your mind. I can tell.'

"Okay, okay, so maybe I do want to blast every single one of those snake bastards to hell, but using one of your techniques to do it would be just plain unfair."

'… I'm afraid I don't follow…'

"I know you wouldn't-"

Suddenly, the door to the cage was lifted off. Naruto's ice eyes pierced through the shadow of the obese man standing in front of him.

"Okay, kid. Get out of the cage. I know you've done assassinations before, so don't act like you don't know what the hell I'm talking about…" the huge guy rumbled, noticing the strange look on his face.

But that look wasn't the look of confusion as the oblivious fatty thought he had.

It was bloodthirst.

"Kabuto, the assassination party should be here in about ten minutes."

"Good. Have we gotten the fox under control?"

"We sent Yasuo to take care of him," Kabuto's subordinate muttered.

"Yasuo? You mean the overweight newbie? Did anyone show him the ropes?" another young subordinate interrupted while Kabuto was lost in thought.

Then there was a bloodcurdling scream. The head medic-nin's head snapped up from its paperwork.

"Shit."

~*~

"Crap, Kyuubi, you could at least tell me when you were going to take over…" Naruto winced, trying to wipe the still warm blood out of his mouth. "You know how I hate it when I swallow the nasty blood, not you."

'That's one of the reasons why I think you're useful, kit.'

Naruto frowned at the approaching yells obviously from the squad.

But then that frown turned into a horrifically hysterical (hehe, two h's) smirk that matched Naruto's possessed state.

'After five years, freedom,' he thought.

Then, he glanced down at the metal band that wrapped around his muscled arm.

'Ah yes, the chakra suppressor,' he thought grimly.

The chakra suppressor was an experiment that was first put on Naruto the second month that he'd been at Orochimaru's; he was quite a rebel. So, at the click of a button, the band can either send an electric shock through the captive or drain the chakra completely, and other than that suppress it so they could give him daily beatings to tell him who's superior. But this is Uzumaki Naruto we're talking about.

The kitsune quickly shook himself out of his thoughts and focused on the angry heads that bobbed on the hillside, getting bigger.

'At last, the mad dash has begun.'

A/N: Ah… I feel oddly relieved. Hey, now since you read the chapter, can you review? That sure would be nice…

Oh, and I'm sorry about the cliffy. I'll update as soon as I get off my lazy ass. Troublesome…
