Well this is only a little bit late just a tad…okay quite a lot late. Ummm…sorry? Anyway I'm now back down at college and I don't have the internet just now, so this will be uploaded using the college's computers. I'm sure I'm allowed to do that…
Disclaimer: I think we have already established that I do not own Naruto

"Iruka, how many fingers am I holding up?"
"You're holding four"
Tsunade smiled and put her hand down "Well you don't seem to have a concussion and everything else seems to be ok…apart from your missing arm. You should be ready to leave by next week"
"Really?"
"Yes really"
"Thank you" Iruka smiled but then frowned, ""Umm…have you heard anything more about Naruto?"
Tsunade sighed "I'm sorry Iruka, we haven't heard of any sign of him since he left…"
"It's ok, but please let me know if you do find him"
"I can't promise that Iruka"
"It's ok"

Matsuda adjusted his monkey mask. He looked around ahead and when seeing it was clear motioned with his hand to the rest of his team to follow him.
The Konoha ANBU team had picked up on a possible lead on Naruto and Gaara. Apparently two boys who had matched the jinchuuriki's description had been seen walking out of the village they had just left, in this direction.
After searching the area they had managed to find the two boy's trail which they were now following.
They followed the trail until they arrived at a small town. They both sneaked slowly up to the place when they suddenly heard screams emitting from the centre of the town. They looked in to see a crowd of people rushing away from something. They grinned; they had found Naruto and Gaara.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Sasuke tried to avoid the Lee-fox…things punches however he was finding himself unable to give out any of his own. At last he found an opening at kicked the creature in the groin. The thing flew backwards and crashed onto the ground. He powered up his chidori and made to finish the fox off when it suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't seen the Neji one. He looked behind him just in time to see it thrust his hands at his back. He immediately felt weakened and in a panic Sasuke shoved his Chidori into the Neji-fox's face. The fox recoiled and leaped backwards. Sasuke watched in horror as the black mass on the head shifted to reveal the Hyuuga's face. The white eyed boy looked terrified before the black mass formed over the face again hiding the shinobi's face once more.
Then both beasts rushed forward to attack the gaping Uchiha.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Keeping out of sight Matsuda and his partner Setsuka watched the fight from above. Once confirming that Gaara and Naruto were indeed involved in the chaos down below Matsuda switched on his walkie-talkie and spoke into it.
"Blue-hawk here, we have spotted the two targets"
"Where are they?" The voice at the other end questioned.
"They're at the Gobi village down south from the Sound border; they appear to be with the younger Uchiha"
"Have they joined forces with him?"
"No, they are watching the Uchiha fight two…fox things, I assume the fox things are the Kyuubi brats doing"
"The foxes are fighting to kill?"
"Definitely"
The other speaker paused for a moment before answering "Stay there and stay hidden. If they move alert us and follow them. We're coming; do not attack them on your own. They are dangerous"
"Okay, over and out"
Matsuda nodded at Setsuka and they continued watching the scene below.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Naruto yawned and stared up at the sky "This is taking too long, I'm bored, I thought he'd be dead by now"
"Well, he's not" Gaara answered "If you want him to die now then kill him yourself"
Naruto sighed and started to move towards the fight, he suddenly stopped and grinned. "Maybe we should just recruit him instead"
"Do what you want, I'm getting bored and we're attracting attention"
"Okay!" Naruto shouted, walking towards Sasuke and the foxes he screamed "Take him!"
Sasuke stared as the two creatures stepped backwards and stood stone still. What the fuck was going on? What did Naruto mean by "take him" Take him where?
He watched as some of the ooze coating the monsters slipped off the creatures and moved quickly towards him.
"Shit!" He tried to jump out of the way but the ooze lifted off of the ground and wrapped around his legs. He landed on the ground and screamed. It hurt, he didn't know why but it felt like his legs were being ripped apart. He watched in mounting horror as the ooze grew and coated his body further causing the same excruciating pain on the rest of him. He screamed again as the mass started to coat his face leaving only his eyes free.
"Good you're ready"
Sasuke, who was still in severe pain, pain which was not going away, walked towards Naruto. He didn't want to but he did. He couldn't control it.
"Now you are under my control, you are my slave. How do you feel about that Sasuke?"
Sasuke could only feel terror. He was still in pain, still feeling the ooze pulling violently on his flesh and he now could not control his actions, for quite possibly the rest of his life. Of course he could only feel terror.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"What the hell just happened to that Sasuke kid?" whispered Setsuka "That was just…nuts"
"I have absolutely no idea, we have to inform the captain; he needs to know about this little development" Matsuda took out his walkie-talkie once again and spoke into it "Captain, we have something to tell you"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Yamato, I have been informed that the ANBU squad has located Naruto and Gaara"
Yamato looked up at Tsunade. "Really? That's good news"
"He's done something to Sasuke; he seems to be controlling him now"
"Huh? How?"
Tsunade sighed "By weird black ooze apparently. We don't really know the details" Tsunade handed him a form "I want you to lead another team of ninjas, you are to aid the capture of Naruto and Gaara"
"How big is this team?"
"Fairly large, about 10 people mostly jounins and chuunins. You are to pick the members for this mission"
"Chuunins? Isn't this mission too difficult for that level?"
"We don't have a lot of jounins available right now, and this team is needed right now"
Yamato nodded and turned away from the Hokage's desk "You can come in now" He said towards the door.
Looking sheepish Sakura entered the room "I'm sorry I didn't mean to listen in…it's just that I came to tell you that Iruka is asking to leave early and arrived at the door and I heard Narutos name and I couldn't help it…I had to know and…"
Tsunade put her hands over her face "I get the point Sakura, and tell Iruka that he can't leave until next week like I told him"
"Tsunade-sama…could I be part of this team? I mean I'm a chuunin so I could go and the team should need some sort of medic-nin"
"That's not for me to decide, it is Yamato's decision"
Sakura turned to face Yamato "Please Yamato-san?"
"Okay, but you better work hard and be useful"
"I will! Thank you!" With that Sakura ran out of the door, Yamato made to do the same when Tsunade stopped him.
"You do realise the reason why I'm sending don't you?"
"It's because I share the DNA of the first isn't it?"
"Yes, and Naruto wears my grandfather's necklace, if the Kyuubi is indeed controlling him, then you may be the only one that can stop him"
Yamato stared back at Tsunade before nodding "I understand Tsunade-hime" he turned and disappeared.
Then Tsunade broke down crying "Why is this happening? Naruto…"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
After dismissing his foxes, including his newly acquired Sasuke one, Naruto quietly finished off his ramen. Unfortunately, to his utter dismay, the ramen cook had run off in the chaos denying him another portion.
Grumbling he and Gaara left the town and made their way further into the Sound country unaware of the two ANBU following them.
"Gaara, where are we going? I'm tired"
"We're going nowhere"
"Nowhere! That makes no sense, you make no sense"
"We are not going anywhere in particular, just travelling"
Naruto pouted in displeasure "Well, I want to stop soon" The blond boy looked up "It's getting dark anyway…"
"It'll be a cold night"
Naruto grinned at that and suddenly hugged him "I know how we can keep warm…" he whispered into the red-heads' ear.
Gaara smiled and hugged Naruto back "You always have good ideas"
"I know"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Haven't they finished yet!"
"…no" answered Setsuka quietly.
Matsuda was deeply unhappy, they had continued following the two boys after informing his boss that they were on the move once more. After it had gotten dark they had gotten settled down to camp for the night. The ANBU kept watching as they were informed to however it turned out the boys were feeling rather horny that night.
Watching two boys engage in sexual intercourse was quickly turning into one of his least favourite activities. Ever.
"Wait!" Setsuka exclaimed "I think they've stopped now. They're breaking apart"
"Oh thank god" He looked around to see if they would start sleeping only to see them start again in a new position. "Oh…god..." he closed his eyes once more.
"Sorry about that. I had honestly thought they had stopped" Setsuka apologised. "Anyway isn't it my turn to shut my eyes now?"
"No, it will never be your turn"
"Bastard"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Yamato's team set out at dawn that day. Consisting of four jounins and six chuunins, and a dog, we must remember the dog; there were less jounins than he would have liked however it could not be helped. They had been informed that Naruto and Gaara had moved from their previously known position. But there were two ANBU currently following them and keeping the rest of the ANBU well informed of their new locations. They were to meet up with the ANBU and attempt to capture Gaara and Naruto. However if capture proves futile then they were allowed to kill them.
They had also been told that some sand Nins were also tracking the two boys and that they were to work together. Or else.
Sakura wanted to see Naruto again, it was the main reason for wanting to go on this mission, and she wanted to ask him why he did all these things. He had made it his life to bring Sasuke back and yet now he was worse than Sasuke.
Ino and Chouji had come for answers and revenge. They missed Asuma and Shikamaru. They, like Sakura wanted to know why Naruto had gone psycho on them.
Hinata had always admired Naruto. How he had always tried so hard, she had always wanted to be like him. But yet now Naruto was a murderer, he had killed her sensei and probably her cousin too…why hadn't she noticed what he was becoming…
Kiba, Akamaru and Shino were here because Hinata wanted to be here, that and Kiba and Akamaru wanted to kick Narutos' ass.
Gai was here because he had nothing left. His team was gone including his beloved Lee and Kakashi, with whom he had always shared a rivalry with, was gone too. If wasn't for the fact that Lee and Neji's deaths have been unconfirmed and the fact that the killer was still out there, he may have already gone to follow his precious people. He would get Naruto for what he did.
The other three jounins are not important and were simply dragged along because Naruto had already killed the other jounins he knew.

Anyway thank you for all your reviews! I enjoyed reading them all and I hope to read more! hint hint.
This chapter mostly took so long to come out because I couldn't decide what to do with Sasuke after I wrote that section the rest was easy, though I did have one minor slip up when I started writing about Kakashi, I had forgotten I had killed him off… Well at least I remembered before I posted it huh?
I miss the internet….
