WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters…but I plan on buying a Naruto headband from Hot Topic…really soon. YAY! Naruto headbands.
Notes: thinking. Thinking….how fun…brain exercises.
Few people, have ever seen with their own eyes, the actions of a man who has lost his mind. If pushed too far, a man will lose his ability to reason. His body will surrender itself to instincts alone. Naruto was currently in this state of mind. It wasn't the kiss that drove him over the edge. It was the comment that he was worthless that became the breaking point.
Sakura understood what was happening, and she knew there was nothing she could do. She had only seen Naruto like this once before. It was something she had hoped to never see again.
Sakura winced as she watched Sasuke dodge another blow aimed at his head. If this doesn't stop, one of them is going to get seriously injured. Sasuke aimed a kick at Naruto's shin, only to have it blocked. This is insane!
She took off running towards the village. I need to find help.

Where is that damn Naruto? Tsunade was waiting in her office for Naruto to return with the rest of team Kakashi. I sent him almost an hour ago. What the hell is he doing? She jumped in shock as her office door was almost torn off its hinges. "Sakura?"
"Tsunade-sama, Naruto's lost his mind! He's trying to kill Sasuke!"
"Sakura, calm down. Why would Naruto want to kill Sasuke?"
Sakura turned bright red. "I-um-have no idea…maybe-"
"Sit down and tell me what happened."
Sakura walked over to Tsunade's desk and sat down. "Sasuke and I were training, and Naruto showed up."
"That's it? I have a feeling your not telling me everything." Tsunade glanced at Sakura's hands. "Especially since you won't stop fidgeting." Her hands froze. "Just tell me what happened."
Sakura looked down. "He kissed me," she whispered.
"Naruto?"
"No," she said. "Sasuke."
Tsunade stared at her expressionless. "And Naruto saw this?" Sakura nodded her head, still looking down. "I see. But I think you should just let them fight it out."
Sakura looked up in shock. "You're just going to let them kill each other?"
"They're not going to kill each other."
"Maybe not, but they'll both be in the hospital for at least a week." Sakura stood up. "Please Tsunade-sama, I'm begging you."
"Fine." She stood up. "But I'm only doing this because I need them in one piece. Otherwise, I'd let them deal with their own problems."
Sakura bowed her head respectfully. "Thank you Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade headed towards her door. "Where are they?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto had finally calmed down due to lack of stamina. Sasuke decided to use this opportunity to address what was bothering the younger ninja, and lend some friendly advice. "Naruto, I don't know when that huge stick lodged itself up your ass, but maybe you should pull it out."
"Sasuke, you bastard!" Naruto yelled. "You're the one with the stick up your ass." Naruto sighed as he plopped down onto the ground. "You knew I was there, didn't you?"
"No."
Naruto found a nearby rock and threw it at his rival who easily dodged it. "Liar."
"Maybe I did see you." Sasuke picked up a twig and began stripping it of its leaves. "What's your point?"
"Why did you kiss her when you knew I was there!" Naruto threw another rock.
"Stop throwing rocks at me! Why I kissed her is none of your business. I should be the one asking questions. Like, why were you spying on us?"
Naruto felt the blood rush to his face. "I wasn't spying on you!"
Sasuke smirked. "Now who's the liar?" He threw his stick to the side and picked up another one. "Who are you mad at anyways?"
"You! What kind of a stupid question is that?"
Sasuke stopped playing with his stick and stared at Naruto. "Are you sure you're not mad at Sakura?"
"Why would I be mad at Sakura?"
"Because you're jealous of her getting to kiss me."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" Naruto threw two more rocks at Sasuke.
"I told you to stop throwing rocks at me!" Sasuke threw his stick, aiming at Naruto's head.
Naruto ducked. "If you weren't saying all that weird shit, I wouldn't throw rocks at you!"
"Like I can help how you feel about me."
"THAT'S IT!" Naruto ran toward Sasuke, fire in his eyes. "I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!"
Sasuke barely missed the fist flying towards his face. The next time Naruto tried to hit him, he was prepared. He grabbed Naruto's arm and kicked and his feet out from under him. Naruto landed on his back with Sasuke on top of him, pinning him down.
