I am WAY over due with this chapter, sorry, explanation's at the bottom.
Just to let ya know, I was in a really big hurry 'cause school's starting in three days for me. So there might be out of context stuff, spelling errors, and it will be short and to the point. For people who get a kick out of flaming it'll be dull.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of it's characters. Nor will I ever as long as I live. I don't have to say this anymore!
As the team walked through the forest, Kakashi heard the trees rustle and looked above, as well as the others.
A trap went off, sending shuriken and kunai from all angles.
Sakura executed a substitution while Kakashi and Sasuke leaped through an opening to avoid the knives.
"Get out!" shouted Sakura pushing the two out of the path.
(Just to say, I'm low on ideas and I'm trying my best to do better. This isn't one of my best stories)
Charging chakra in her fist, Sakura connected it with the falling girder, which cracked in some areas and fell to the ground in front of Sakura, who collapsed on the spot.
"Sakura!"
Her bones in her arm snapped, and dislocated from her shoulder. She coughed out some blood.
"Internal bleeding." whispered Kakashi.
Sakura shouted in pain as she waved her good arm above the broken one, healing it with medical ninjutsu.
'The medical nin has to be the one down and out…' thought Kakashi searching through Sakura's backpack, hoping to find anything of use.
"What happened!" asked Sasuke
"I was able to stop the girder…b-but an impact is an im-impact, all the energy o-of the falling girder…d-destroying parts of it." said Sakura in a whisper, still trying to endure the pain.
"We need to hide!" said Kakashi leading them into a nearby cave.
"We have to quit the mission." said Kakashi pulling out a pain relief in Sakura's pack.
Sasuke was going to nod but then Sakura said, "N-no! I stopped the bleeding and I fixed most of the bones. We can still do it! It's only a couple of nins!"
Kakashi sighed, "Are you sure?"
"Of course!" shouted Sakura.
"What do we do?" asked Sasuke.
"They know we're here…so we might as well find another way in ourselves."
Kakashi and Sasuke looked around the cave for traces of chakra behind the rocks, after a minute Sasuke said, "I found something."
Kakashi interrupted and said, "I've been looking at this chakra signal behind this wall of rocks, it's familiar…I don't know where it's from thought…Sakura, you and Sasuke go through the route Sasuke found, I'll go through this one."
Everyone agreed and Sakura burst a hole in both sides and they separated.
Sasuke and Sakuras route:
The two nins found themselves in a dark hallway with only a single torch to light the long hall.
Two steps and Sakura already sensed a presence.
Sasuke searched the room with his sharingan and said, "It's in here…" Sasuke threw a smoke bomb into the room and they then stormed the room looking for the man.
Sasuke noticed that there was a kunai at his throat, held by a nin who said, "Die!"
Emerging from the smoke, Sakura landed her fist in the ninjas face with her good arm.
Sasuke waved away some smoke and said, "You got lucky."
Sakura chuckled and said, "No, you did. One point for me."
Sasuke activated his sharingan and led Sakura through the dim room.
Knowing Sasuke and Sakura might need help latter, Kakashi sprinted until he reached a junction.
'Damn, this place is bigger than most expect…okay…chakra signature…'
Kakashi took the left side and could sense guards.
'The caves have no place to hide…unless…'
Kakashi pulled out a scroll, and drew blood, 'Summoning no Jutsu!'
"Where do you think the intruders are?" asked a guard up ahead.
"Dunno, but there in for a hard time. We'll take shifts to the gate in a minute now. "
Dogs emerged from the ground and bit the two ninjas, immobilizing them.
Kakashi could tell there was a
Kakashi figured one of the ninja might know how to open it so he shouted, "Mangekyo Sharingan!"
One of the ninjas found themselves in a snake pit and Kakashi was on the top.
"Tell me how to open the gate up ahead." demanded Kakashi.
The man didn't speak but then Kakashi tossed in an Anaconda, who quickly wrapped itself around the ninjas.
"I'll tell you! The guards hold the seals!" Kakashi then smirked and released the genjutsu.
Back in reality, the ninjas passed out and Kakashi stormed ahead, with the dogs back underground.
After taking a couple of turns, Kakashi went a little to fast for himself and the guards saw him. There were five of them.
Begining to fight them, Kakashi noticed markings on their foreheads and thought, 'They must be the seals themselves...I'll have to kill them.'
"This is going to take a while."
Inside what probably would be a lobby, Sasuke and Sakura finally reached some light.
"Now I can see again…lets see if I can raise my score." said Sakura.
Sasuke for a moment deactivated his sharingan and then the enemy took the opportunity to strike.
Sasuke dodged a sword swipe and while pulling out a kunai he shouted, "Little rat!"
He jabbed the kunai in the ninja's neck, pulled it back out, and stabbed an incoming attacker.
Sakura meanwhile was going Jackie Chan on the ninja's asses.
She was punching in all directions. Ten ninja had already been taken down.
Two of them tried running from Sakura and she shouted, "No you don't!"
She punched the floor, making a giant gap in which the ninjas fell.
Then as the rubble caved in on them, Sakura counted, "Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, oh and Eighteen so far…"
Now that the ninjas were cleared Sasuke and Sakura opened a door, leading into a large, what would seem, balcony that could have been the size of a small arena for sparing.
Lights turned on around the two and maybe ten meters away stood Kabuto and a cloaked man close to him.
"Still alive Kabuto?" said Sakura shooting Kabuto a nasty smirk.
"Apparently…and so is my master…hehe." The two ninjas looked at the cloaked man who had a saturated aura of chakra and darkness.
Sasuke turned on his sharingan and shouted, "OROCHIMARU!"
Kabuto nodded while chuckling.
Sasuke started his third and final chidori, sprinted at the man, and shouted, "I'LL KILL YOU! Now and for good!"
When Sasuke struck Orochimaru, he showed no pain and Kabuto didn't assist him.
Sasuke released his chidori to see that the wound healed as fast as Sasuke stopped the attack.
Sasuke pulled the hood down and shouted, "What the hell!"
Sakuras eyes widened as she saw who had been under the cloak.
He was as tall as Sasuke, blonde hair, and cascade eyes.
Sasuke staggered back to Sakura and said, "I can't believe it…"
Then Orochimaru (who looks like Naruto) and Kabuto charged at them.
Orochimaru stabbed Sasuke in the shoulder and Kabuto started sapping the chakra out of Sakura.
Orochimaru swung at Sasuke, who dodged it and kicked Kabuto back, having Orochimaru step away.
"Sasuke…it's Naruto…he's back!"
Sasuke's teeth gritted and he said, "No Sakura…that's Orochimaru…"
Sakura looked at Sasuke in disbelief and shouted, "What are you talking about…Naruto is right there! Right there Sasuke!" Sakura began crying in complete confusion.
"Sakura…"
Orochimaru smirked at her reaction and Sasuke looked down.
Sakura stood up and inched her way closer to Orochimaru.
Sasuke grabbed her hand and held her back. She of course would tug more and more, until she shouted, "Let go of me!"
Sasuke interrupted, "Sakura, I'm sorry…that's Orochimaru."
"No! Orochimaru's dead! That's Naruto!"
Orochimaru pulled out a sword and teased the two ninjas with Naruto's old grin while saying, "Before I kill you two, Sasuke…tell her the story…she was late in the fight two years ago!"
"Sasuke…how?" Sakura was trembling while tears dripped to the floor.
"It all began…"
After killing the five guards, Kakashi oppened the gate and entered.
Now inside a strange lab, Kakashi searched around for the person giving off the chakra signal.
After searching through the first six hallways, Kakashi came across a strange room with something that looks like a capsule, bed, and machine all in one. (This is the thing Kabuto uses to help Orochimaru and that one guy in the Sasuke retrieval mission that can shape shift his bones.)
"This is where it came from…"
There were four of the capsules, all empty except for one.
He opened the pod and inside was a boy the size of Sasuke and it seemed he had been coughing out blood for a while, as though tortured. It looked like forced on him were black, long pants, the normal ninja shoes/sandals, and a white jacket with a hood, currently covering his face.
"Who are you?" Kakashi was about totake offthe hood when five ninjas appeared in the hallway, chasing after Kakashi.
Placing the boy on his back, Kakashi fled the room and ran down another hall.
Ninjas blocked Kakashi from the front and in the back of the halls.
Now surrounded, Kakashi thought, "I'm going to have to make a way out."
He made a blur of hand seals and shouted, "Chidori!"
The wall exploded, revealing a large balcony where Sasuke, Sakura, and two other men were.
Earlier, with Sasuke and Sakura:
Orochimaru pulled out a sword and teased the two ninjas with Naruto's old grin while saying, "Before I kill you two, Sasuke…tell her the story…she was late in the fight! Yes now I remember…tell her what happened!"
"Sasuke…how?" Sakura was trembling while tears splashed on the floor.
"It all began…"
Flashback
Sasuke was running from Naruto after a fight in the forest during an "S" rank mission.
"Sasuke…come back! I promised Sakura I'll bring you back!"
Sasuke laughed and asked, "Sakura made you promise? Save yourself the trouble and say I got away this time."
While Sasuke was about to enter Orochimarus base after three whole years, Naruto punched Sasuke in the face and shouted, "Orochimaru will kill you! He's not interested in your revenge!"
Sasuke wiped the blood off his face and said, "I know his plans dunce. At least all have power to kill my brother!"
"Sasuke…this is your last chance."
Sasuke pulled out a kunai and said, "No, it's yours. Be quiet or I'll just shut you up right now!"
"You can try!" shouted Naruto.
Before Sasuke could strike, Orochimaru chopped Naruto at the neck, knocking him out unconscious.
"Sasuke, hurry, this body is taking its toll on me!"
"…yeah."
Back in the lair, Orochimaru was beginning to perform the jutsu when he dodged a kunai to his forehead. Naruto.
"You're actually a problem now. Congratulations
Kabuto followed Orochimaru while Naruto tried to regain balance.
"Now Kabuto!" As ordered, Kabuto placed Sasuke in front of Orochimaru and they repeated the seals.
Orochimaru said, "Now no more stalls!"
Sasuke saw Orochimaru's body beginning to limp when he heard, "Henge no Jutsu!" (Did I use that right?)
Naruto had turned into an exact replica of Sasuke, with all the marks Kabuto had placed on Sasuke for the sealing.
Naruto copied the bonding chains Orochimaru made with Sasuke as well and knocked Sasuke out of the way, and took his place.
Naruto burst into flames and shouted, "Sasuke…go back!"
Then Naruto's henge stopped, turning back into his regular body. (Hecancled the transformation that made him look like Sasuke) Flames engulfed him while his scream went from Naruto's tone to Orochimaru's.
He disappeared as well as Kabuto leaving nothing but flame marks on the ground.
Sakura then came later to the scene and shot a distress flare, signaling Kakashi.
End Flashback
Sakura was now staring at Sasuke in disbelief, "So…he took your place!"
Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Yes…I've grown accustomed to the kyuubi vessels body, I never imagined I could actually use the Kyuubi's chakra."
Sasuke spat at Orochimaru's feet, which then frowned and said, "What's the matter Sasuke? Are you mad? Let me show you some of the kyuubi's chakra I can hold!"
Orochimaru's blade began to shine dark red, but before he had finished,Kakashi blew a hole in the wall and shouted, "Sasuke, Sakura, follow me!" (This is when the group meets up after separating)
Sasuke could see Sakura was in no condition to be running so he picked her up on her back and fled with Kakashi by jumping of the ledge, landing in a giant entry way.
Orochimaru looked down and shouted, "Kuso! Go get them!"
All the guards chased after the three nins.
While running, Sasuke asked, "Who's that you're carrying Kakashi?"
Kakashi kept his eyes on the exit and said, "A hostage."
First of all, I wish I could have continued typing but: My parents are limiting electronics and schools coming back up in three days, so we'vebeen working and preparing.
I'm going to revise this chapter later because I still have to update my other 2 stories in less than three days. So until then, thanks!
P.S.: I can't say how much longer until my next update, I have to do it on weekends, but I promise it'll be better than this one.
