Kidnapped Love pt.1

Tenchi Bridge Kusagakure

Naruko, Sakura and Yamato couldn't believe their eyes. Sasori's spy in Orochimaru's rank was Sasuke, The Uchiha Sasuke? Their wayward teammate Uchiha Sasuke? As Sai was about to do something, they watched with shocked horror as Sasuke almost decapitated their squad leader, who jumped backward. The Uchiha smirked at the sight of the Jonin who jumped away.

"Why don't you tell the other three to back you up?" Sasuke asked with a lopsided smirk, and as soon as the other three joined him; Sasuke shrugged. Oh this was interesting as it comes..

"Sasuke, you're Orochimaru's spy, or the Akatsuki's?" Naruko asked her wayward teammate who smirked at her malevolently.

"Orochimaru? He's been dead for months by now!" Sasuke replied calmly, "And the Akatsuki's spy is Kabuto. I never leave a loose end..." The Uchiha's onyx eyes bled into a vermillion color. Activating his Sharingan was all Sai needed to rush at Sasuke, this was his perfect moment to.. He never finished his thoughts as Sasuke was already behind them, his sword unsheathed, and his arm was around Naruko's shoulder. Two things happened, one that Sai lost his blade arm and head, two was that Yamato had a slash on his torso going from the shoulder to the hip.

"Sasuke, you know that after this, Baa-chan will never forgive you?" Naruko asked her teammate who was glancing at Sakura, daring her to make a single move.

"Don't care." He replied curtly as ever. She felt her blood boil at this.

"Sasuke-kun, please come back, I know that things will go like it was before.." Sakura begun only to feel herself shut up involentarily.

"To where? And Why? So Kakashi can tell me how he never cared about me or my goal? So Naruko can always pester me with challenges and you with dates? I'll pass!" Sasuke said seriously and Naruko whispered one thing.

"If I had became your most precious person... Then why? Why did you try to kill me, and why you spared me?" Naruko asked Sasuke who, despite his air of cold indifference, sweat dropped at her question.

'Is she this oblivious?' Sasuke asked himself before he remembered how she was treated, 'Small wonder she always wanted to befriend me!' He thought before he replied calmly, "You said it yourself. I would have never allowed myself to be his puppet, and anyways, killing you would never give me what I already have." Sasuke replied cryptically. Naruko gave him a dizzy look. And as Sakura was about to go for an attack, Sasuke's eyes shifted and the pinkette fell under his Genjutsu.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruko yelled only for Sasuke to give her a flat look. "Sasuke, why? Why are you doing this? I'm sure that Baa-chan will forgive you." Naruko pleaded with the Uchiha who cackled madly as he separated with her.

"Let's have a fight like the good old day.." Sasuke said seriously as she shook her head. He sighed at the news, "So, what did you learn these past two and a half years?"

"Hah? Why should I tell you, Teme?" Naruko asked with a bit of heat as he gave her a nostalgic looking ghost of a smile.

"You didn't change.." He said seriously and she sighed, his words were true. "How about this, did you even learned of your affinity yet?" Sasuke asked Naruko who gave him a raised eyebrow before her eyes widened a bit.

"Oh yeah, Ero-Sennin had given me a few Wind Chakra exercises, and before I left with him Genma and Raido insisted on teaching me something, they said about old debt and birthright ya know?" Naruko replied as Sasuke gave her a raised eyebrow before he smirked at her.

"Then you won't be a dead weight.." Sasuke said, and something in his tone made her take a few steps backward. "What's the matter? Didn't you want me to come with you?" Sasuke said sarcastically as Naruko stumbled on Sai's body, making her fall to her butt, yet Sasuke continued to stalk her like a Tiger stalking a deer.

"Sasuke, please, go away! I'm scared!" Naruko said as Sasuke approached her with more hurried steps, his smirk slowly spreading as she crawled away, and she tried to stand up, only to realise that the very second she will break the line of sight, he will definitely catch up with her. For once in her life, she felt vulnerable.

"Well, you changed from the Okyan I left to a beautiful woman, Naruko.." Sasuke said as the blonde young woman was now backing away faster and faster, using her hands and feet to back away, she didn't notice that she left the bridge until her back hit a tree trunk. As Sasuke approached her, now his strides were larger, she unleashed a girlish squeal, he smirked at her, "Oh? You learned how to be a girl?" Sasuke asked Naruko who, in one of her attempts to defend herself, tried to use the first thing any woman would do : Kick him in the nuts. It would have worked perfectly, however, Sasuke was now looking at her as he somehow grabbed her leg, and pinned her to the tree as she was trembling with fear.

"Sasuke please.. Don't do something... That will make me hate you!" Naruko said meekly, as she knew that, while she could fight him, he would probably kill her, Sasuke shook his head at these words. He was not a rapist of course.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Sasuke asked Naruko in the most serious tone he have, and she was about to reply before she wondered, should she lie to him, or tell him the truth? Deciding that honor before reason would do this time..

"No, why are you asking?" Naruko replied only to see something she never thought would happen in her wildest dreams. Uchiha Sasuke did not frown, did not have an arrogant smirk nor an evil smile, but a small warm smile. It was short lived, but Naruko couldn't help herself but noticing how it was the most breathtaking thing she had ever seen.

"Heh, then you're free to date anyone?" Sasuke asked Naruko who gave him a shocked look, and before she could reply, she felt his lips on her own, his tongue was tasting her soft, pink, cherry-tasting lips after two and half a year. Her mind was scrambled upon this, Sasuke had promised her something she couldn't hear that day, but this? What was his game?

As they broke the kiss, Naruko tried to flee from the seemingly insane Uchiha, well, insane as she knew that Sasuke would have never initiated any romance with any girl, then again, she was girlish with him sometimes...

"Sasuke, my heart is not a toy ya know?" Naruko told the Uchiha who grabbed her and pulled the shorter girl to his chest. As Naruko tried to struggle, she heard some words she had never thought anyone would ever tell her..

"Uzumaki Naruko... I like you more than a best friend." Sasuke declared, much to the shock of the blonde who was completely stunned. Sasuke loved her more than a best friend, but if he loved her like a sister, then why did he ki.. No way!

"Sasukeeee!" Naruko practically whined as she giggled like a schoolgirl. Sasuke felt himself angry at her giggling, was she mocking him? "I never thought that you love me that way?" Sasuke felt hurt, he was practically confessing his feelings and she was laughing at him? Fine.. Naruko stopped her giggling as the raven haired man bit her on her slender neck, before he started to lick a line, and then he sucked on her now fair-yet-still-kinda-tanned skin. She felt his lips smirk as she moaned while he kissed her neck.

"Yes Naruko, I do love you. Why do you think I tried my best not to kill you? Why do you think I spared your life? Why do you think I accepted your rivalery?" Sasuke asked before he hugged her stomach a bit tightly.

"I never thought that you would love me, you know that I host the Kyubi, right?" Naruko asked desperately, if she would start some romance, she would try the same trick she did with everyone else who tried to date her, asking them about their opinion on her first..

"So? I love YOU, Uzumaki Naruko, and I don't care about your furry friend, as my eyes can control him and his ilk." Sasuke reassured the blonde who was shocked by the revelation, "So, want to.. You know.." Sasuke asked a bit too shyly, which made her shocked, what was Sasuke trying to tell her?

"You want us to.. Become a couple?" Naruko asked and felt the Uchiha nod as his chin was over her shoulder, "What about Sakura-chan? What about Ino? They'll kill me if I return to Konoha.." Naruko said as Sasuke snorted.

"Why are you insisting on staying on Konoha? Did they promote you?" She shook her head, "Did they offer you a chance or an invitation to the chunin exams?" Once again she shook her head, "Did they start treating you differently than before I was gone or did they asked you about the battle against Gaara?" Once again, she shook her head, "Then let me tell you, no matter what you do, no one will want to promote you, not even the Godaime.. Konoha don't see you as the amazing woman you are, the hidden rare gem of an empath as you are, nor even the talented kunoichi you would end up be, but as the Kyubi sealed in you, as a weapon, as a war deterrent, why do you think that they would; especially the three elders who caused my clan their destruction when they asked for their right to be treated as citizens of equal statue to the others in the very village they founded themselves, for their exploits to be made public, to be integrated into the village, would see you any different?" At this, Naruko turned and looked at Sasuke's eyes, and she was shocked when she saw that he was utterly truthful.

"Sasuke-kun... Your eyes are full of sorrow and rage.." Naruko said before she slapped her own mouth, her eyes became widened and Sasuke sighed dejectedly. "What do you mean by the elders wanting me to stay a weapon? What do you mean that they led to the destruction of your clan? Please tell me that you're jocking ya know?"

"It is the truth!" Sasuke said sadly, "And I must thank Itachi.. Idiotic brainwashed genocidaire or not, he gave me one final gift, or two... He made the first right choice when he programmed his crow against Tobi, in case his Amaterasu didn't work on him... Heh, what made me laugh was that Tobi had decided to make the right choice.. My life Vs the others, eventually, he confessed some of the truth.. He told me that I remind him of his younger self, and of his younger love... whatever that means." Sasuke replied, "He knew because he helped Itachi taking my entire clan down.. And while I am now one of the strongest ninjas in this world, I know that I will need more training.." Sasuke told Naruko who gave him a sad look, "I believed him.. Because I know for a fact that the only thing he would benefit from, is from me becoming his underling. I told him to his face that I refuse to join him, and he accepted that in good spirits, matter of fact, he transplanted Itachi's eyes in me.. And he gave me my own eyes.." Sasuke said as his eyes shifted, revealing a starburst shaped red onblack background with three black shurinken like inside the red intercecting tomoes. Naruko was amazed by the exotic shape. He also left one crutial detail about Tobi... That he's dead. Sasuke's instincts screamed at him to kill Tobi, and for once, he listened to his instincts.

"Your eyes are beautiful Sasuke..." Naruko said, taking the Uchiha by utter surprise. She called the second rarest, and one of most dangerous Dojutsu beautiful? What was wrong.. Then again, he realized, that Naruko is crazy.

"You're kinda crazy, you know that? Like, do you still talk to yourself?" Sasuke asked Naruko who blushed in embarassement, "I don't mind it.. It's kinda cute."

"Hah?" Naruko asked Sasuke in total shock, did he just admitted that her worst aspect was cute? "Are you mocking me Teme?" Naruko asked heatedly only for Sasuke to snort.

"Mocking you? Did I ever mock you barbed commentary aside?" Sasuke asked Naruko who wanted to say something only to shut her mouth, "I'm pretty sure that you wanted to chase me around, didn't you?"

"I admit that I pestered Ero-Sennin for your location and kinda participated in a few raids, on hideouts long abandoned ya know.." Naruko replied honestly only for Sasuke to chuckle.

"So you chased me for two and a half years and now I'm in front of you, you're trying to run away? You're mystefying to boot..." Sasuke commented as she gave him a shocked look, was he insulting or complimenting her? His next sentance made her realise what his intentions are, "I think that I should get to really know you.." Naruko blushed at this. What was Sasuke's game?

"Sasuke, what is your game?" Naruko asked bluntly and the Uchihe sweatdropped and almost rolled his eyes, but gave her a quirked eyebrow. Really? He told her all the necessary hints, and yet..

"You are as oblivious as I am obssessed with vengeance.." Sasuke commented, "You didn't change one bit..."

'I did change, Ero-Sennin caught me thinking about you. I loved you you bastard but I can't betray Sakura-chan..' Naruko wanted to tell him, but she lowered her eyes as she looked down, "What about Sakura-chan?"

"The third wheel that ruined everything!" Sasuke said bluntly and with a lot of venom in his voice to boot, "Is she really your friend? Did any of your friends volenteered instead of Kakashi's stand in and my replacement, who's nothing but a rag? He had the intention to kill me if you're wondering why I killed him."

"Hah? But Baa-chan told us to convince you to come back.." Naruko replied as Sasuke palmed his face, his mask now shattered. Well, she was this idiotic again?

"Do you trust her? Did she tell you who your parents are?" Sasuke asked her and she shook her head, "Have seen Naruko? None of them are serious nor truly care about your well being. All they care is about controlling you and the Kyubi. I care about you, and I can control the Kyubi if I want to, but I don't care about it enough." And Naruko found herself.. Intrigued by Sasuke's words.

"Okay.. Have any plan?" Naruko asked Sasuke who smirked and shunshined with her to Sai's corpse, "What are you doing?"

"Finding a proof that he's a traitor!" Sasuke replied as he unzipped Sai's backpack and dumped everything on the bridge, and as Naruko sorted, she saw an envelope, a bingo book which contain Sasuke's picture.

"What's the meaning of this?" Naruko asked in shock.

"That he have a mission to kill me. Assassinate me after giving this information to Orochimaru. They don't know that I killed him and Kabuto a few months ago." Sasuke replied, "And it is thanks to you!"

"Thanks to me?" Naruko asked Sasuke in a shocked confusion. He smirked as he made a Kage Bunshin.

"They can transfer whatever you learn, be it Chakra manipulation or knowledge." Sasuke replied calmly and she gave him a shocked look, "Heh, Kakashi never told you? Small wonder. He doen't consider you a Kunoichi it seems.. Say, did he even try to teach you anything before he would tell you your short coming?" Naruko wanted to retort only to shut her mouth. She looked at Sasuke with sad eyes.

"I.. What about Baa-chan and Ero-Sennin?" Naruko asked Sasuke desperately. Sasuke shrugged.

"I don't know... Did they tell you about your parents?" Sasuke asked Naruko who felt her eyes wet, "I thought so.."

"I.. What should I do? Where do I belong?" Naruko whispered and Sasuke smirked at this, it seems that he have broken her, now it was all about picking up the pieces and putting them together...

"Well, maybe you belong with me?" Sasuke asked Naruko who was now wondering if he was honest or not. "If you come with me, I know how to help you become the strongest Kunoichi, as I heard a very interesting conversation about your clan.. And I know your cousin." Sasuke baited Naruko who gave him a shocked look.

"I.. Have a cousin?" Naruko asked Sasuke who smirked mentally. She was still gullible at least. He nodded, "A boy or a girl?"

"Karin, a girl, and she wants to see you." Sasuke replied calmly as his clone sealed the enveloppe and Sai's Bingo book in a scroll, before he looked at Naruko, "So, want to come?" He received a nod which made him think that he got her, hook, line and sinker!

"Sasuke, can you help me with the Akatsuki?" Naruko asked her old teammate who gave her a confident smirk.

"I can take them down on my own, and if you want, we can train together for a little while so you can defend yourself from them and even take them down when needs be." Sasuke replied seriously and while Naruko wanted to tell him that they are strong, she felt that he can easily back his words up.

"So, what should I do now?" Naruko asked Sasuke who shrugged. Naruko thought for a while, should she return to the village or should she stay with Sasuke who genuinely and truly loved her? She never thought there would be anyone who would love her despite her issue with Kyubi sealed inside of her, and yet, Sasuke was more than willing to protect her from the Akatsuki, to help her with her training, to be there for her.. And even found one of her distanced relatives. Sure, she never knew her family, but from what she knew about his willingness to go to great length to avenge them.. She couldn't risk her friends lives nor Jiraiya's nor Tsunade's.. So she decided to do what needs to be done.

She will do it, even though her instincts told her that staying in Konoha was the better option.

"And what if I refuse to come with you?" Naruko asked Sasuke who grinned at her in a disturbing manner.

"Then I will knock you out, tie you up and kidnap you if I have to." Sasuke replied calmly and Naruko, while she knew she was an awesome Kunoichi, judging by her last spar with Sakura, she knew that Sasuke would definitely do as he said.

"Why? Why would you go to such length for me Sasuke-kun?" Naruko asked her teammate who sighed.

"For being my most precious person.." Sasuke replied curtly yet honestly. It was true, in his years after the massacre of his family, the sixteen years old had never found any replacement for this woman.

"Alright, fine, but if my friends are in danger, I will go to save them ya know?" Naruko replied as Sasuke snapped Sakura out of the Genjutsu before he carried the blonde in his strong arms in a bridal style.

"Sasuke-kun, what are you doing with Naruko?" Sakura asked the Uchiha who didn't even bother to reply. "Are you kidnapping her?"

"It's not that Sakura.. I.. I decided to go with Sasuke-kun.." The blonde answered meekly and Sakura sighed. Oh great. It seems that she was the third wheel all along.

"Sasuke-kun, why did you kill Sai?" Sakura asked the Uchiha who snorted.

"Read the papers, Sakura-chan, and tell Baa-chan that I'm sorry..." Naruko said dejectedly. Sakura remembered how she made Naruko promise her to return Sasuke to the village, and how broken she was when the Uchiha insisted on going in his dark path..

"I see... Well, have a good one and.. I'm sorry for bothering you two. Just.. Stay out of trouble and Sasuke-kun? If Naruko dies because of you, I will rip you appart, got that?" Sakura warned the Uchiha who snorted but nodded nontheless.

"Don't worry. If anything happens, send me a message or something? Tell our friends that I'm sorry, but I must continue to improve.. And as long as the Akatsuki is there, I can't return or put their lives in danger ya know?" Naruko told Sakura who giggled before she patted both Naruko and Sasuke on the shoulders.

"It's a shame then. Just.. Take care and go, wherever you two will go, you will always be my friends." Sakura gave them a sad smile, "And if you ever need any help, I will always be there, waiting for a message, be it a toad or a snake." Sakura teased only for Sasuke to snort and Naruko to giggle.

"Well, I'll be waiting for a slug, ya know?" Naruko replied as they went, the blonde gave Sakura a sad look as the Uchiha shunshined away...

"Well, it went better than expected, and if I read this?" Sakura said as she red the documents only for her eyes to widen as she checked on Yamato, before she started healing him. As soon as he recovered, Sakura gave him her most serious look, "Yamato-taicho, we must go back to Konoha, Tsunade-sama needs to read this ASAP!"


Konohagakure

As soon as Sakura finished her report, alongside Yamato who backed her up, and with the documents as proof, the Fifth Hokage broke the desk in two.

"Sakura, you and Shizune will go right now and close the archive! Yamato, go to Kakashi and Jiraiya and tell him what happened!" Tsunade roared at the three people in the room. And as they hurried away, the Hokage closed the office's door before she slumped down on the couch, her tears now running on her cheeks. "Naruko..." She uttered as she allowed her grief to fall in the form of tears. The blonde little spitfire she considered as a daughter was now in the clutches of the Uchiha, who was able to kill both his older brother and Orochimaru.. People like this are too dangerous to even fight.

And soon enough, at the end of the day, the rookies, Jiraiya and Kakashi were on the same bar. While underage drinking was frowned upon, it was Tsunade who invited them. Soon enough, they started to drink their sorrow away.. Especially Jiraiya and Tsunade.


The next day

"Wish us luck!" Kakashi told Tsunade who gave him a thumbs up as his team of trackers, composed of Team eight, Jiraiya and his pack of Ninken were now prepared to find the two who went God knows where. While their orders were to bring them alive, they had no idea what to do. If what Sakura said about Sasuke's new abilities was true, he would be at the least extremely dangerous to fight. And if he was able to take Orochimaru and Itachi down, Jiraiya said that negotiating would be their only chance to bring him back..

And so, the S-rank retrieval mission had begun. Tsunade prayed that they would make it back in one piece more than finding the two missing teens... Then again, Sasuke was able to kill Orochimaru, which meant that he killed a healthy Orochimaru, even if he wasn't able to use any jutsu of his.. And the fact that he was able to kill Itachi probably was definitely an alarming prospect.

The team were jumping trees, searching each and every area where Naruko's and especially, Sasuke's scent was. Little did they know that it was a wild goose chase for one small reason : Naruko was not in the vacinity, and neither is Sasuke...

For the Uchiha and his girlfriend were long gone, the traces were their old shirt which Karin shredded and had Jugo order the birds to carry away in all directions. Naruko meanwhile was kinda.. Tied up with her boyfriend, who was taking care of her aching muscles after a very intense training session half an hour ago and was now meditating.

Jugo and Suigetsu were training their Taijutsu and Kenjutsu respectively, while Karin was training her Chakra chains, something she found by sheer dumb luck.. And shared with her cousin, who had tried her best to try incorporate some wind chakra through them. Suigetsu then kinda barged into the room from the window, his eyes were closed as he gave the news.

"Sasuke, you and your girlfriend need to move, now!" Suigetsu warned as he jumped down without getting a peep. Sasuke smirked at Suigetsu's sense of decency, at least he knew when to NOT look.. Not that Naruko was completely naked..

"Heard that Naruko? Let's go before..." Sasuke begun only for the blonde to look down. "You're... Not coming?"

"No!" Naruko said seriously. "This time if they come, we'll fight!" Naruko said seriously as Sasuke sighed. Oh great! "Besides, there's one thing I've hidden from Ero-Sennin..." Naruko said as her bright blue eyes became like a toad's yellowish with horizontal pupils, a red pigmentation appearing around them.

"Oh? You have Sage mode?" Sasuke asked the blonde as he smirked, "This is interesting.."

"I'm not really good at it ya know?" Naruko replied as Sasuke gave her a raised eyebrow, "Well, you see I need a lot of time to access it, and I've been sitting for more than twenty minutes..." Naruko replied as Sasuke sighed. Here we go again with her low self-esteem.

"I can't do it yet, and probably won't." Sasuke admitted. "Come on, let's go!" He said seriously as his team nodded at them. "You stay hidden. Naruko, you and I will be the distraction, if a fight break out, you run, and I will hold them back!"

"But Sasuke, you're better at killing than capturing ya know? I'm not leaving you to your fate!" Naruko replied seriously as Jugo was nodding at her words, Suigetsu holing the Kubikiribocho while Karin smirking proudly at her younger cousin.

"Fine!" Sasuke growled as they all shunshined, Sasuke to the left while Naruko to the right. Naruko would confront team eight and Kakashi while Sasuke would confront Jiraiya. Team Taka opted to back Naruko up as they knew that Sasuke still have one secret he never told to the blonde.. That he have killed another Uchiha apart from his brother. That he killed the true leader of the Akatsuki.

And as Sasuke saw Jiraiya cautiously approach the place, he sneaked up behind him. And the toad sage didn't even notice the uchiha who was right behind him. Spymaster his Sharingan!

"Yo! Can we talk, Jiraiya of the Sannin?" Sasuke asked and Jiraiya begun to sweat bullets of cold sweat. This teen was able to kill not only Orochimaru, who was his near match without the Use of Senjutsu, but he doesn't have the equalizer. But what scared him the most was that he was able to kill Uchiha Itachi of all people.

"Uchiha Sasuke.. Speak, what do you want?" Jiraiya replied, even if he wore the ANBU face, which was practically being an emotionless drone.

"Why I already have who I need!" Sasuke replied calmly, as if he was talking about the weather with a civilian, which was.. Probably the truest thing that came to his mind.

"Naruko huh? You do know who her parents are?" Jiraiya asked Sasuke who snorted.

"I don't care one bit old man." Sasuke replied as his face was expressionless and Jiraiya almost released a sigh of relief. At least he cared about his Goddaughter..

"Tell me, why did you kidnap her?" Jiraiya asked Sasuke who snorted and didn't even bother to reply, "There's no way she would have gone away from Konoha volentarily, isn't her dream to be the Hokage?"

"You never knew her.." Sasuke replied as he shrugged. Can he kill Jiraiya on a whim? Yes. Would he bother? No.

"What do you mean by that? Answer me like a human being!" Jiraiya replied to Sasuke who was as emotionless as it can get.

"Stop wasting my time!" Sasuke warned Jiraiya who sighed. This will lead to nowhere. And Jiraiya knew that playing with the Uchiha's temper is extremely hazardous to him. The mere rumour that he have the second most legendary eyes was enough of a deterrant already.

"Do you really love her?" Jiraiya asked Sasuke who gave him his most serious look.

"Her heart is not a toy!" Sasuke growled as Jiraiya smiled at him sadly. It seems that Naruko had decided to leave the nest..

"Give her this. I was saving it just in case something bad happened to me.." Jiraiya said as he gave Sasuke a storage scroll, the Uchiha gave him a raised suspucious eyebrow, "There's no trap in it, I swear it upon my honor."

"I'll take your word for it. And she will be an unrivalled Kunoichi soon enough.." Sasuke said as he flickered away to Naruko's position, leaving the toad Sannin with his thoughts.

Naruko meanwhile was having a very civil conversation with Hinata, Team eight opted to just send the Hyuga and Kakashi. When Kakashi saw the spark that was gone from his student's eye ever since her Uchiha teammate went to the den of the snake, and after their fight.. Especially when she was drifting out of consciousness and he kissed her one last time, as he told her that he must get his revenge, even if he died trying, but if he lived, he wished that she would have a place for him in her heart, undeserving as he was...

"Well, I guess that this is it for our paths then Naruko. A shame really, I thought you would be the Hokage soon enough.. Alas, no one can get all of his wishes, can I?" Kakashi said as he thought sadly about the blonde's choice. He saw how she moved, and saw her new super mode and highly doubted he stood a chance against her.

"Well Kakashi, it seems that this is it for our bond then ya know? I don't want anyone else to die for me.." Naruko replied dejectedly, while she wanted her sensei to come with them, she couldn't help but opt not to invite him, this was exactly why she fled her village.. If she would die, she would not want anyone else to get dragged for her sake.

"This is it Naruko-chan?" Hinata asked her best friend and.. Kinda secret crush.

"Yeah well Nata-chan, if you want me and probably Sasuke-kun, I think that we should kill the Akatsuki first then ya know?" Naruko replied seriously as Kiba snorted at this.

"Yeah well Akamaru and I, Shino, Hinata, Neji, Lee, Tenten, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Sakura, and Asuma-sensei, Gai-sensei and let's not forget Jiraiya-sama and Kakashi-sensei are not enough?" Kiba practically barked while Akamaru was barking affirmatively at Naruko only for her to snort.

"Kiba, you guys are strong, just not at that level yet. Lee and Neji are probably close to be A-rank, but most of you guys are B-rank.. Kakashi, Shino, please explain to him ya know?" Naruko replied as Shino tended his fist towards Naruko.

"Your argument makes sense Naruko-san. Why? Because Sasuke-san had killed a Sannin and probably one of the Akatsuki's strongest members based on Kurenai-sensei's description how Uchiha Itachi was able to hold Hoshigaki Kisame of all people." Shino explained as Naruko sweatdropped at Shino's logical analysis.

"Naruko-chan, please take care?" Hinata told her best friend as she hugged the blonde tightly, "You will always be my best friend, and my older sister in all but blood." Hinata declared to Naruko who could only tighten the embrace carefully lest she crushed the Hyuga Heiress.

"Yo, hope I am not interfering something?" An unmistakable voice was heard and Kakashi's eyes widened.

"Sasuke? Does this mean that Jiraiya-sama is..?" Kakashi's question was answered by a snort.

"Heh, he's alive and well and would probably hit on some cheap women and drink a river later..." Sasuke replied sarcastically. "Of course I didn't kill him!" He snapped at Kakashi's idiotic question. Then again, he was the most brattish jonin he knew of.

"Huh?" Kakashi's intelligent reply made Naruko laugh at him. Was Sasuke insane? Yes. Was he pretty normal for an insane guy? Well, he was more normal than she is... Not that she would ever admit it to him of all people and inflate his ego.

"Sasuke-kun is not a murderer. He doesn't kill people randomly, he would have a pretty good reason to do so ya know?" Naruko replied as Kiba and Hinata both nodded. At least they started to understand them a bit..

"What will you do then? Just roam the earth?" Kakashi asked his two students who nodded at him.

"Exactly." Sasuke replied calmly. Naruko gave him a sad look before she nodded at that. The Hatake sighed.

"Nothing we'd say would make you return?" Kakashi asked and Sasuke snorted.

"No!" He replied as Naruko sighed. Of course he won't return to a place that killed his family, not that she blamed him.

"I agree with Sasuke-kun on that ya know? I mean, Sai, his replacement? He was going to kill him on the last mission. So of course I won't return in this case, besides, he gave me something none of you would have..." Naruko replied sadly as Kakashi eyesmiled at Sasuke.

"About damn time. Be careful of the Akatsuki!" Kakashi told his two students as Sasuke snorted. He was their natural predator if Kiba would have said.

"Said what Akamaru?" Kiba asked his Ninken in shock.

"Kiba-kun?" Hinata asked only for Sasuke to give her a meaningful look.

"Are you planning on trying to capture us?" Sasuke asked dangerously, it was really scary come to think about it, his twin starburst shaped eyes coming to life, his face becoming colder than death.

"No! Godaime-sama ordered us to try and negotiate with you two." Shino explained as Sasuke smirked at this. At least the fifth Hokage was... decent.

"Then give her our regards!" Sasuke said before he remembered something, "Say, do you really want to know how the Uchiha clan fell and most importantly, why?" Sasuke decided that for once, Naruko might have been right about telling her friends.

"What do you mean Sasuke?" Kakashi asked and the Uchiha shrugged.

"My clan asked for their rights to be of equal status with the rest of the village, and yet all they faced was being ignored. So they planned a coup, only for my brainwashed idiot of a brother to kill them all but me to save four elderly..." Sasuke spoke, his fists trembling, Hinata and Kiba gaped and Shino was trembling with rage, "Now, the question is.. Which clan will be next? Make your choice guys, and until then be wary of Danzo, Homura and Koharu." Sasuke said as he put his right arm around Naruko's shoulders and shunshined away with the blonde.

"Hinata, did Sasuke lie?" Kakashi asked the Hyuga who gave him a betrayed look.

"He didn't speak anything but the truth." Hinata said in a heartbroken manner. Kiba was livid upon hearing this, and Shino decided to do the most logical thing...

"Don't tell anyone about this!" Kakashi warned. Kiba was about to speak his mind only for Shino to put his hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Kiba, let's do as Kakashi-taicho said." Shino said in his usual tone, not that he would hide this from the other clans, nor his own.


A couple of weeks later

Sasuke and Naruko were in Konoha, if hidden away. Naruko was sitting on a tree with her lover as she attended Asuma's funeral. From what Sakura had said, it seems that Asuma's team had run into the Akatsuki, and while Tsunade had kept the entire consensual kidnapping of Naruko under heavy wraps, she doubted any other nation wouldn't get wind of that eventually. Then Naruko gave Sasuke a kind of a lift to where they would usually gather, well, for these days as they were always on the move.

"Okay, so what's the plan?" Sasuke asked his lover who sighed dejectedly. She knew that team ten would definitely choose revenge over reason.

"We try to capture or kill them. I mean, what do you know about them?" Naruko asked Jugo who sighed.

"The birds spoke of two cloacked men, one is imortal, as in he was decapitated and stabbed yet continued to live like it was nothing. The other is a masked man who's about six foot one with red screlia and green pupilless iris, and he's the more dangerous one as no one had even seen him move, not even Sarutobi Asuma." Jugo reported and Karin's eyes widened as she opened a bingo book and flipped through the pages until she found what she seeked.

"The immortal Hidan is not a threat until he draws his victim's blood, Ninjutsu will be the key to defeat him, but Kakuzu is an old Nuke Nin from Takigakure, he also survived against Shodai Hashirama, better known as the Shinobi no Kami. He's the dangerous one." Karin told Sasuke who narrowed his eyes.

"Who would stand a chance against him?" Naruko asked Karin who sighed.

"Only a few come to my mind, and only Jiraiya from Konohagakure or Tsunade.." Karin replied and Sasuke smirked evilly.

"Sounds interesting to me.." Sasuke replied as Naruko gave him a quick glance, "Don't worry, he'll be fighting what you call a nightmare." Sasuke replied and Naruko gave him an unimpressed look. "No really, I know how to kill Kakuzu, as for Hidan, I think that interrogating him would be the best option, even though I can kill him too."

"Sasuke, you got a plan?" Suigetsu asked his team leader who smirked at him.

"Amaterasu!" Sasuke replied and Naruko's eyes widened. Sasuke was able to use those black flames too?

"Sasuke, you can use those flames?" Naruko replied and the Uchiha nodded. "Oh great, this means that we're compatible then ya know?" Sasuke gave her a raised eyebrow.

"Because wind beats lightning?" Naruko giggled at him.

"No silly, because only wind can amplify fire and strengthen it." She replied with a sly smile. It took Sasuke a second to catch her meaning before he sighed.

"Still as foolish as ever.." Sasuke replied before his eyes shifted to it's Starburst shape, "Nontheless, it's kinda sweet of you. But you can't be in this situation unless you complete your training." Sasuke replied seriously as his team smiled at him.

"Never thought you'd be an overprotective guy to your girlfriend." Suigetsu teased Sasuke who snorted.

"Not my girlfriend.. We didn't even start dating." Sasuke's answer made Naruko puff her cheeks. "But when she's ready to achieve her potential, maybe we can finally start dating, and after we finally kill the Akatsuki, and then.." Sasuke stopped as he never thought this far ahead.

"You never thought of going this far ahead? Just be free?" Jugo asked Sasuke while Karin, Naruko and Suigetsu sweatdropped.

"No, I thought I would be taking Itachi with me to the grave." He replied honestly which made Naruko slap the back of his head.

"Baka-teme!" Naruko snorted as she realised that Sasuke had never planned on coming back to her in the first place. "So, then what?"

"Maybe your idea Suigetsu?" Sasuke asked his friend who showed his shark like teeth.

"Yosh, after that we'll take everything under the heaven!" Suigetsu declared as Sasuke shook his head at this.

"Or maybe do what Ero-Sennin wanted me to do, to break this cycle of hatred ya know?" Naruko asked the Uchiha who thought about it and had an evil grin upon hearing this.

"How about we literally... Unify the entire world once we reach enough power?" Sasuke replied as Naruko grinned at him.

"Not a bad idea..." Karin replied as Jugo thought about it, while Sasuke's advise to train in Ryuchi Do was the best advise he ever heard, as he was now in control of both sides of his personality, he knew that he needs to improve. "But it will take time." Sasuke shrugged.

"Which we got plenty of?" Sasuke replied seriously as Naruko giggled.

"And thanks to you, my friends are safe ya know?" Naruko replied as Sasuke growled.

"Don't push their luck!" Sasuke replied only for Katsuyu to appear with a letter.

"Naruko-sama, Sakura-sama had sent you this!" The slug was worried, and as Naruko red the letter, her face ashened.

"Naruko?" Sasuke asked his lover worriedly and she shown him the letter. Sasuke red it before he clenched his fist hard.. "That hypocritical scarecrow of mentor..." Sasuke replied, "I won't save his ass!"

"But Sasuke-kun, what would happen to them?" Naruko asked her lover who shook his head.

"Still no!" Sasuke replied, "They're not our responsibility!" Sasuke replied.

"This is not about responsibility Sasuke-kun, it's about our friends dying from what I fled from!" Naruko pleaded the Uchiha who shrugged.

"Kakashi is with them, they won't die."He counter argued.

"But even so, he would probably die, and then what?" Naruko argued as Sasuke gave her a serious look.

"He chose not to help me, which sent me to Orochimaru.." Sasuke replied and Naruko's eyes widened, Kakashi was the reason their team was separated like this? "And also, he told me to give up on revenge, and now he's helping the other clan heirs.. Why?" Sasuke asked her and she was silent.

"Naruko, Sasuke won't help them because when he needed their help, none of them was there." Jugo explained as Suigetsu shrugged.

"But what if they died?" Naruko asked Sasuke who snorted.

"People die all the time. Didn't you want to protect Konoha? Wasn't they willing to sacrifice us? Then let them taste their own medicine!" Sasuke argued only to see Naruko slumper down in defeat.

"Fine, but I'll be going then.." Naruko begun only for Sasuke to look in her eyes.

"You die, Konoha burns to the bedrock!" Sasuke spoke more serious than ever. And while Naruko wanted to save her friends, she was torn now. However, she had one last card.

"Will you allow me to die?" Naruko's question took him by surprise and he decided to do the right thing..

"Fine, but if they won't take any action, in a year, I will burn Konoha to the bedrock, and I'm a man of my word!" Sasuke's warning made the blonde gulp, but a year is a long time, no? Then again, she didn't want to know. "But anyway, what will you do?" Naruko sighed as she focused before she decided to speak, as any mistake will result in her losing her friends.

"Don't we need them to revolt, Sasuke-kun?" Naruko asked her lover who smirked at her. It seems that she can think straight, "So we save them and then, we tell them the truth too?"

"Fine, I'll handle this. If you want to join then it's fine. If not, well, I don't blame you, but no more than distractions!" Sasuke replied as Jugo and Suigetsu looked at Karin, then at each other, then to Naruko and finaly to Sasuke.

"Well, I think that we may have a plan!" Suigetsu started as Sasuke smirked, whatever plan his sick mind have cooked up, would be something..


Hi no Kuni

Shikamaru cursed as Kakashi and his team were almost caught in the blast of the Akatsuki member called Kakuzu. While he did take into account that the second Akatsuki member might be strong, but he never thought he would be this much. Then again, they were three Chunins and with one Jonin as back up. Hidan was busy with Kakashi, which was scary come to think about it, and Kakuzu almost had them into his killing grounds. Then the earth shook as the old man combined the three masks together and fired, wind, lightning and fire combined into one huge blast that almost killed them if it wasn't for Choji going into his giant for and shielding all of them, the second team lay dead in the ground. Kakuzu then had all of them trapped as he grabbed both Choji and Ino, Shikamaru had realised how foolish and how sorely mistaken he was when he saw the three monstrosities ready to fire one more time..

"Amaterasu!" They heard the voice of one Uchiha Sasuke, and then, black flames propaged itself all over the monstrosity of tendrils, as they screamed in agony, as the black flames turned into spikes that impaled them in the inside, and before Kakuzu could attack the Uchiha, a huge oragne man lunched like a rocket at Hidan, almost killing him, but he managed to probably crush each and every bone he had, judging by the way he laid motionless. Then as Kakuzu impaled Sasuke, a white haired teen pushed him as he lat the attack sail harmlessly. Before Kakuzu could make any sense of the situation, he was impaled from behind with wind chakra covered chains..

"It's been a while.." They heard the voice of the Uchiha speak, and as Ino tried to see the mysterious person that delivered the killing blow on Kakuzu, she noticed that whoever that was, was long gone.. But she also noticed how Sasuke's Chakra became much colder than before.

"Sasuke-kun, thank you for saving us!" Ino greeted their old classmate who shrugged.

"No thanks, Jugo, did you kill him?" Suigetsu asked his tall teammate who grabbed the now limp Hidan and was in front of Sasuke who smirked at this.

"He's still breathing!" Sasuke said as Shikamaru was about to move only for a red haired woman to unleash some golden Chakra chains at them.

"Don't move! We'll give them to you.. After we're done grilling him!" Karin said as Kakashi's eyes widened.

"You're from the Uzumaki clan?" Kakashi stated more than asked as Sasuke used his Sharingan to get into Hidan's still swearing mind, and soon enough, they heard of the locations of each and every Akatsuki base, their members, everything he knew about.

"Who knows?" Sasuke replied as he looked at Kakashi, "You heard the cripple. Now, take the intel to your Hokage and do whatever you want. And this was your last get out of a sticky situation card, Kakashi." Sasuke replied as Suigetsu smirked at the three clan heirs.

"Say, did anyone tell you what happened during that night where Sasuke's clan was wiped out?" Suigetsu asked and Kakashi's eyes widened, would Sasuke spill the beans?

"Sasuke, what he's talking about?" Shikamaru asked the Uchiha who gave him an evil grin.

"Ask Kakashi!" He said, "He's all yours!" Sasuke added. And before the team would ask him anything further, they were gone, leaving a Kakashi who tried his best to lie at them.


Undisclosed location

Naruko lowered her head in depression. Her friends were just so close, yet she knew that the moment she would flee, the bastard she realized that she loved all along would definitely destroy the village. While her older self had told her that she can do something about it, her new self had told her to analyze the situation clearly. She saw how he fight and had realized that her chances of winning were null an void at worst, and abysmal at best.. If that was the extent of his abilities. While in sage mode, she realized how truly strong Sasuke was, and she realized that not even Jiraiya would survive a fight against him. Naruko sighed in dismay as her frustration level reached its peak.

"Hello Naru-chan!" Sasuke greeted his sorta girlfriend who gave him a sad look, "Can't I see you happy for once?" Naruko sighed as she looked down..

"I want to go home, Sasuke-kun.." Naruko said sadly as Sasuke sighed.

"Didn't I tell you what would happen when you'll flee?" Sasuke's question made her blood freeze. "Now, once again, make your choice, would you rather have some true love, or something that's faker than my loyalty to Orochimaru?" Naruko couldn't help herself but laugh despite her situation.

"Kidnapped by the one guy who truly loves me... I can't believe my life ya know?" Naruko sighed as Sasuke shook his head.

"Well, you're my kidnapped lover, which is, I admit, kinda.." Sasuke begun only to stop when he realized what he would tell her next. No, he wouldn't admit it!
