Chapter Eight: Ninja Act
All the people that were inside the arena except Sasuke, Sakura, Konohamaru, Keiko, Kuroe, and Saki began to scream and run away. "What are the Akatsuki members doing here?" Sakura wondered aloud as she started looking around and found herself suddenly surrounded by them.
"Alright, you bastards are in for a world of hurt!" Sakura hollered before she started punching them and kicking them. Sasuke just simply grinned.
"That's what happens when you thugs mess with the Uchihas." He said. "And my wife definitely is not a weak person believe me." he told them before all of a sudden a man with bright red devilish eyes started walking out in front of them.
"It's not an Uchiha that I'm after." He began with a shake of his head. "Well actually, one of them I am, but she doesn't seem to be here at the moment." He finished.
"Stay away from my daughter and little sister." Sasuke growled.
"Ah,.. Sachi's your daughter now is she? Well, well, well,.. it looks like the biological daughter of the man you killed now belongs to you. If it wasn't for my chienigan I never would have seen that one coming. Anyways, I am afraid that you're about to make the ultimate choice Sasuke of who you love more. Keiko Haruno,.. or Naruto Uzumaki." He hissed with a sneer as Sasuke gasped.
"What do you mean!? What are you planning on doing to Naruto!?" he hollered when all of a sudden he felt his heart pounding frantically up against his chest. Sasuke knew deep down in his heart that no matter how much Naruto annoyed him he loved and cared for him like his own brother. He just didn't realize how much until this moment.
"Hmm,.. you seem to have a really poor memory Uchiha." Doragon began. "Not only does Naruto Uzumaki possess the spirit of the Nine-Tailed fox within his body, but he's also the seventh hokage. And as you very well know, as the greatest and most powerful ninja of the hidden leaf village, it is the duty of the hokage to protect it. Without a hokage the village will fall to pieces. So I guess that I have to be the one to destroy him." He said as Sasuke felt his anger suddenly filling up inside of him.
"If you do that, then I'll kill you." He growled. "I'll break every bone in your body if you lay one finger on my little brother." He hissed.
"Eh suit yourself." Doragon began. "But let me just remind you Sasuke, if you spend all of your time worrying about Naruto then you aren't going to be able to protect Keiko." He said.
"No,.. but I will." Saki began as her eyes suddenly turned red and they started to glow as she started feeling more anger than she ever had in her whole entire life. She doubled her size and continued to grow bigger and bigger until she was bigger than the whole entire arena and reached out with her right hand and grabbed Doragon as if he was some kind of tiny doll. Doragon tried to pretend that he wasn't scared even though his whole entire body was now trembling with fright.
Sasuke and Sakura turned over to look at each other and silently nodded seeing this as their chance to escape. "We have to get to Keiko." Sasuke began. "Where is she?" he questioned her as she slowly turned her head and saw her little sister up on the balcony and pointed to her.
"She's up there with Konohamaru." She told him. "But what about Saki?" she wondered.
"I do believe that Saki can take care of things on her own. Now come on." He told her before taking her by the hand and racing up the stairs with her. "We've got to get out of here." He said while stopping to catch his breath.
"Where are we going to go?" Konohamaru asked him as Sasuke stopped to think this over.
"The one spot where Doragon won't think to follow us." Sasuke said before all of them turned around and raced out the door.
…..
"Aw man! You have got to be kidding me." Konohamaru began as they made it in front of the convent. "A nunnery!?" he cried.
"Yep. Sasuke and I might go to church but I definitely know that Sasuke's not a saint." Sakura pointed out.
"And neither am I! These people are as poor as church mice!" he yelled out before Keiko quickly placed a hand over his mouth and covered it up.
"Shut up Baka! Do you want them to hear you!?" she hollered before slowly removing her hand.
"I'm sorry toots but this is nuts! I'm out of here!" he cried before he started turning around to run away and Keiko just simply let out a sad sigh.
"Relax Konohamaru this is just temporary." Sasuke assured him. "Besides, this is for your girlfriend's safety." He pointed out.
"Oh alright, I'll stay if it means that Keiko's going to be safe." He agreed reluctantly.
"Good." Sasuke began with a grin. "Besides, what better place to be protected then in God's house?" he questioned him.
"Well if God had more things for me to do here then I wouldn't mind so much." Konohamaru replied. "I mean He could at least have some videogames to play or something." He added as Keiko giggled.
"You're cute." She began. "You're an idiot,.. but you're cute." She told him as Konohamaru smiled at her.
"Gee, thanks Keiko. And you're the prettiest girl in the village." He told her making her blush beet red and Sasuke let out a sigh.
"I sure hope that we're never this annoying." He said as Keiko placed her hands on her hips and glared at him.
"Hey!" she shouted as Sasuke simply just sighed again.
"Come on, as soon as I know that you guys are safe here I'm going to go find Naruto." Sasuke said before all four of them started heading inside the building.
