Chapter 9. Reason
"Garouga!"
The enemy was blown away by a very fast spinning move from the dog demon . Kiba grinned with satisfaction when the enemy he fought did not move anymore. He switched to another enemy. Considering there are nine demons, that means there are still eight more enemies they have to fight.
"Juuken!" Hinata launched his slow but deadly blow on the enemy he was now fighting. The enemy gasped as his arm was now unable to move. He growled angrily, attacking back using the sword with his other hand. But the movement was successfully seen by Hinata. He also dodges easily. Using his Byakugan eye, he can see each point of the enemy's weakness and attack him. "Hakke Rokujuuyon Shou!"
"Cough - !" the enemy coughed loudly, his body was displaced to the floor due to the violent pounding of the attack. His body became temporarily paralyzed and could not be moved because all the chakra points had been cut off. Hinata smiled with relief, then glanced at the other enemies who were now also being fought by her friends.
Trang! -Trang! -Trang!
"Kazekiri!" -Slash! - a sharp blow of wind was launched quickly towards the enemy, followed - Flash! -Slash! -Slash! - The enemy was knocked down by a quick attack just now. Temari grinned with satisfaction at his victory then -Klak! - kept his iron fan back on his back.He glanced sideways to see the condition of his friends.
Bam! - "Ha! Feel it!" Tenten shouts spirit after successfully overthrowing the enemy with an explosion.
"Done?" he glanced at Temari who had just made a sound. He grinned with satisfaction. "Yeah!" they do high five - TS!
The four enemies that have been defeated means that there are only five more demons they have to fight. Oh, no-wait! It seems to have diminished again because -BAM! - an enemy was suddenly slammed very hard towards the wall and damaged it. The enemy collapsed due to the beat he got.
"Grrr ..." a growling cat demon made sure his enemy would not wake up again, before he grinned with satisfaction and changed his form back to normal.
"Good work, Ino!" Tenten approached him.
"Certain." Ino smiled smugly.
Trang! -Trang! -TRANG!
Buagh!
BAM!
A fierce battle still continued, now four remaining enemies were massacred by the rebels. Remaining one enemy that has a very large and muscular body, even almost exceeding the height of the room's door. The enemy uses a hammer to attack.
Bam! - Zabuza managed to avoid the heavy attack. Even though the punch was very strong, but his movements were still relatively slow so he could still avoid it easily. Zabuza dodged another attack that aimed at his head from the left, he lowered his head quickly before darting forward without hesitating to slash the sword on the enemy's body and -Lash! -Slash! - the enemy was overthrown.
Zabuza sighed in relief, before glancing around checking his teammates. "Are you all right?"
They also immediately answered 'Yes' or nodded confidently. After making sure everything is finished. Zabuza told his men to bind the nobles and mercenaries who had attacked them. Their mission to capture the nobles was finished. Now, just leave the rest to the others to secure the place before reporting to their leader.
"We go back to the central post," he said, ordering his colleagues.
Ussshhhh-!
A cold wind circled around the demons, making the atmosphere even more tense. Fighting Anbu Ne will not be as easy as they think, because the knights of Anbu Ne are also trained demons like them. The battle became balanced as each demon launched a powerful attack.
Trang! -Trang! -TRANG!
BAM!
CRASH!
BAM!
The room that was very neat was now falling apart due to a battle that didn't take up a lot of space. The explosion and clash of weapons continued to make the place more and more destroyed. If it wasn't for the rebels who had succeeded in securing the place before the attack, the servants and guards would have arrived frantically.
Kakashi chuckled in annoyance when his attack was successfully avoided by one of Anbu Ne. He deflected the attack that was pointing at him with a kunai, then turned his body 180 degrees and made a quick kick successfully to hit the enemy's head, sending him bouncing backwards against a wooden wall - Bro!
Kakashi wiped the blood in his mouth, then glanced at the condition of his friends. He breathed a sigh of relief as they seemed to master the fight. At least he does not need to worry if there are conditions that are quite critical. He did not want to waste time attacking other enemies.
Buagh! -BAM! - the enemy was slammed hard backwards due to the powerful attack it was carrying. Yamato glanced around before walking quickly toward Kakashi.
"Kakashi, did you see Sai?" he asked quickly as his eyes glanced at the existence of the person he was talking about.
Kakashi shook his head. "No, I think something is hidden. It's possible Sai returned to Danzo's place. Do you think we should pursue him?"
Yamato glanced at the state of his teammates while thinking. "I'm not sure. But if it's true, I think we should send someone to follow him. But do you see where he is going? I can't feel where he is."
"I don't know." Kakashi sighed. "We must immediately finish this fight and return to the headquarters," he said before returning to the fight.
Main Pavilion - Location gathered by the rebels after the mission is complete.
"Tsunade-sama."
"What is the mission?" Tsunade asked nodding towards Asuma's group who had just arrived at the gathering post.
"Everything went according to plan, we have brought the two councils here," replied Asuma, pointing to the two elders who were led into the room bound. "The guards have been dealt with. The east pavilion has been taken over."
"What about the servants and residents?"
"We have sent them to a safe place. Only our members are on guard," Asuma explained, reporting to his superiors.
"Good work," said Tsunade proudly patting Asuma's shoulder. "Stay alert and watchful. We are waiting for news from other teams," he said before turning to the two councils who were now staring sharply at him. He walked over to them.
"Koharu-san, Homura-san," he called as he approached.
"Your plan won't work!" Koharu hissed staring at the blonde woman who approached him.
"Tsunade, can you tell me what your purpose is to do this?" now Homura spoke.
"Isn't that clear?" Tsunade smiled sarcastically. "We will restore Konoha as we should. The people must know what is right and what is wrong."
"Not everything that happens in this kingdom must be known to the people!" Koharu said half screaming.
"Maybe." Tsunade said coldly. "But there are times when the people must know the truth. The decay of this kingdom cannot be left any more. Danzo must be punished according to his actions."
"You think Danzo will be so easily defeated ?! He has been living in this kingdom for years! As a king, it is fitting that he be the strongest person here!"
"Not if there is someone stronger now," Tsunade said with a mocking smile.
The two elders widened their eyes in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Tsunade stared for a moment at the two elders. Instead of answering the question, he turned away and said something else. "Our plan will succeed. This kingdom will be taken over and returned as it should. You don't have to bother thinking about it. If you still love your life, you should not be stubborn and tell us everything you know about the eleven disasters. last year."
"Tsunade." Homura spoke quickly interrupting Koharu who had wanted to reply to Tsunade's words.
The blonde woman looked back at them.
"Before I answer that, there is one thing I want to confirm," he said, staring at the Hokage's blue eyes.
"If your plan succeeds, who will replace Danzo to lead this kingdom?" he finally asked that, making Tsunade a little stunned to hear that.
"You know that a King cannot be chosen for granted, he must be the strongest and greatest in this kingdom. There are many things a person must have to become a king," he said again when Tsunade was still silent.
"What do you think?" Tsunade reversed the question. "Someone asked me to make Sasuke the King of the kingdom to replace Danzo," he said as though he was staring.
"Someone?"
"Huh, I thought you would nominate yourself?" Koharu said sarcastically.
"Hm." He smiled a little. "Jiraiya also told me to do that. But, I think I'm still too weak to lead this country. Sasuke deserves it more."
"Then?" Homura bent his eyebrows when the Hokage's sentence seemed to hang.
"Homura-san, Koharu-san," Tsunade said suddenly staring back at the two councils. "Do you still remember Minato's son?"
Homura slightly gasped at that. "He's dead, why did you suddenly bring up that?"
"What if he is still alive now?" said Tsunade managed to make the two elders surprised by that.
"What - there's no way he's still-
"Tsunade-sama!" call someone interrupting their conversation.
Tsunade immediately moved towards the newly arrived demons. "Yamato, Kakashi! You're back. What about the mission?" he said glancing at one by one the demons from Kakashi's group, his brows wrinkled anxiously when they didn't find someone they should have caught.
Kakashi nodded, immediately approaching his leader, occasionally glancing around to make sure his colleagues were fine and immediately got treatment. "Forgive us, the mission has failed," he said feeling discouraged. "We can't find Danzo in his place. It seems that someone has leaked our plans. Our team has been framed."
"What happened?!" Tsunade chuckled at that.
"The Anbu Ne has blocked us, Danzo is gone when we arrived there," he said, explaining everything that had happened at the King's Pavilion.
Tsunade bit her finger while listening to the report from Kakashi. "How is the whole team doing, is anyone seriously injured?"
"Only a few, we have handled it. They will be fine," Kakashi said slightly calmly. "We have dealt with the Anbu Ne. The servants and residents there have also been moved. The King's Pavilion has been secured, even though we can't find Danzo there."
"Wait, what about Naruto-sama?" Shikaku asked suddenly who also listened to Kakashi's report.
Kakashi shook his head. "We also didn't find it. Our initial plan to help Naruto-sama against Danzo was unsuccessful because we couldn't find either Danzo or Naruto-sama there."
They did make a few changes to the plan. When I found out Naruto was Minato's son, the crown prince who had long since disappeared eleven years ago. Tsunade immediately held an important meeting. Even though Naruto had rejected his invitation, he still wanted to help the crown prince. His desire to make Naruto as his next King is still strong. Konoha will need a strong King for the restoration of the kingdom to replace Danzo later and Narutolah who he thinks is most appropriate to do so. Therefore he wanted to help the young man even though it was only a small help. At least he wanted to make Naruto give him confidence.
"Shikaku, what if it turns out our estimates are wrong. It could be, they are somewhere else."
"No," said Shikaku rubbing his chin while thinking. "You said someone leaked a secret. If Anbu Ne was ready to confront you, maybe Danzo already knew about this attack. But ... if Danzo already knew about our coup plan, why did the Asuma group not experience obstacles? Danzo won't let two demons know a lot about him without strict protection. They are only guarded by ordinary guards who are on duty there. "He stopped for a moment turning his brain in his head. "Wait, what about Haku? Did you hear from them?"
"No, they still haven't reported." Tsunade shook her head.
"Hm, Tsunade," he said after thinking hard, turned to the Hokage. "I think we should send a search team to find the location of Danzo and Naruto-sama. It's possible that they met before we attacked there."
"I understand, if-
BRAKK!
A powerful buzz broke through the entrance of the room very loudly, shocking all the demons who were there. They also spontaneously turned towards the door, and each of them could not help but widen in surprise and confusion when they saw someone standing there.
Wusshhh ...
A cold wind blew in along with the footsteps slowly the young man who had just broken the door.
The two sapphires glanced sharply one by one the demons were there, before finally stopping at the target he had been looking for.
"Naruto ?!" Tsunade held on to disbelief, the young man they had been talking about suddenly appeared by himself in front of them. Tsunade swallowed hard when the two sapphires turned to look at him sharply.
Naruto didn't make a single noise. He shook his long sword sharply, as if preparing to attack anyone who dared to block it. His legs moved again towards the two demons he had been looking for. A very sharp killing aura around his body made the entire demon out of fear.
"Naruto? What are you-" Tsunade swallowed his sentence again as the very sharp sword pointed at him. The sapphire bead shines very sharply.
Tension thickened when none of them dared to move. After a while Naruto stepped back, approaching the two wide-eyed council staring at him.
"Y-You-" Koharu was unable to say when he found the familiar face of the young man who was approaching him.
"N-no way-" Homura held on in disbelief, a child who should have died now suddenly appeared before him.
The blonde man finally stopped, right in front of where the two councils were sitting. His six-foot sword swung slowly, before being directed right in front of the faces of the two councils.
"Where is she?" the first sentence that came out also sounded as sharp as very cold ice.
"W-What do you mean-?" Koharu gulped, staring at the horror at the sword that was ready to grab his head at any time.
"Where is Danzo?" Naruto repeated his question, staring coldly at the two elder demons.
"W-what is-"
BLAARR! -A slash of fire suddenly directed in any direction, successfully destroying a pole in the room.
Both Homura and Koharu swallowed hard, staring in horror at the attack that could just turn to them.
"I said. Where is Danzo ?" Naruto said sharply again pointing the tip of his sword at them, showing that he would not hesitate to kill them like when he destroyed the pole.
"II don't know! II don't know anything about it!" Koharu is terrified.
"Th-that's right! We-we don't know where Danzo is now! We don't even understand what it means-" Homura swallowed his words as sapphire beads now glanced sharply at him.
"Look, old grandfather," Naruto said as he walked over, then he squatted just inches from the two councils, his sharp sword pointing right beside the two elders' necks. "I don't care about your position as council or anything. If you still love life, quickly tell me where the rotten man is hiding now, or ..." Sring! -The sword flashes sharply.
"Wait a minute, Naruto! W-You can't kill them! We-" Tsunade stopped the sentence as the sapphire bead glanced at him.
Naruto just smiled sideways, then turned back to the two councils, making them stare in horror as the sword felt stuck to his neck.
"W-We really don't know! K-We - T-wait! Wait! D-Don't move your sword!" Koharu shouted in panic, raising his neck in fear.
"Rr-basement!" Homura shouted suddenly with fear.
Naruto glanced at him.
"I-there's a cellar a few kilometers from here! D-danzo who made it special a few years ago! II-I think he's there!" bright Homura panicked.
"Really! I'm not lying!" Homura grew panicked as the sapphire bead still stared at him coldly.
"II-that's right! He must be there! We can't lie to you!" Koharu helped defend panic.
Naruto paused for a moment, just stared at the two elders sharply, ensuring that they did not lie to him. After a while he stood up and pulled his sword back, before turning and walking towards the door without speaking a word.
Homura and Koharu also breathed a sigh of relief, his strength seemed to disappear when the sharp iron finally moved away from their necks.
"Wait a minute, Naruto!" Tsunade called quickly, chasing the blond young man.
"Naruto!" now managed to stop the blond boy's steps, but could not make him turn around. Naruto just stood still waiting for Tsunade to say what he wanted without turning his body.
"Naruto! Let us help you!" Tsunade said loudly approaching the son of the Yondaime.
"Isn't our goal the same? Let us help you defeat Danzo!" Tsunade asked again as the blond young man still hadn't spoken.
After a while, Naruto finally turned towards him. A grin painted on his lips. sapphires also meet with other, brighter sapphires. A soft snort sounded like an understatement before Naruto turned his head back to the door. He put his long sword into the scabbard on his back, then in seconds, his body turned into a large golden yellow fox with nine tails that had a magnificent guerrilla behind him. All the demons there suddenly widened their eyes in surprise and awe at him.
Without saying anything, Naruto quickly shot away leaving the room regardless of the Hokage's request just now.
"Tung-! Damn it!" Tsunade shouted in panic. "Kakashi! Yamato! You chase him! Don't let him fight alone!" his orders quickly sent his two men to chase the old crown prince. The two demons without wasting time immediately moved to chase the blond elders who began to disappear from their sight.
"Tsunade-sama!" a shout suddenly called out to him.
"Damn! What's more!" Tsunade shouted irritably, turned to the source of the voice who had just called him.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune ran away gasping for his leader.
"What's wrong, Shizune ?!"
"Sasuke-!" Shizune said, still gasping. "Sasuke-sama! We found Sasuke-sama!"
Drap!
Drap!
Drap!
Drap!
SLAM-!
The door opened quickly allowing several fast-moving demons to enter the room.
"Lay him there!" Tsunade's orders quickly told his men to put the crown prince who was now unconscious on the bed.
"What happened?!" Tsunade asked, approaching the raven young man who had been laid on the bed.
"We found Sasuke-sama in the King's Throne Hall. We don't know exactly what happened there, but it seems that there has been a fight. There are many guards who are also unconscious. I have told the others to take care of them one by one." Shizune's light while helping the Hokage who is a medical knight to examine the crown prince.
"Is anyone still unconscious?"
"There are some guards who are still half conscious, we have questioned him. They said they were there on orders from Danzo."
"Danzo ?!" Tsunade stopped his movements and turned towards his assistant.
"Right, they were ordered to attack someone," Shizune explained again.
"Someone ?! You mean Sasuke?"
"No, no, that's ... Naruto-sama ..." Shizune said uncertainly, remembering the information obtained from the guards there.
"What?" Tsunade widened in disbelief. "Damn. Apparently it's true they met first from our troops, but ... wait, what about Sasuke? What really happened? Why is he involved there ?!" Tsunade said in a row, feeling very confused about the situation they were facing now.
"I also don't understand, Tsunade-sama ..." Shizune shook her head. "The guards said they were ordered to help Sasuke-sama attack someone."
"Wait, so ..." Tsunade bit her finger while thinking.
'Did something happen between Sasuke and Naruto? But why? If you remember Naruto's words ... I thought ... Sasuke was on Naruto's side ... but ... " he thought confusedly.
He shook his head dizzy, and decided to concentrate on examining Sasuke. "What about Danzo? Did you find something there?" he asked as he pulled out the green chakra thoroughly examining Sasuke's body.
"Not." Shizune shook her head slowly.
"Hmm ..." Tsunade only muttered in response, concentrating fully on examining the crown prince. 'His body looks dirty and quite pale, but this is strange ... I didn't find a single wound on his body. Even if it was seen from his shirt that was torn and full of blood, he should have a pretty severe wound, especially in the back ... ' he thought confused as he glanced at Sasuke's kimono which had been removed and was indeed full of blood stains on the back.
"Shizune, before you came here, did you heal Sasuke's wounds?" he asked, checking the raven youth's back carefully.
"Huh? No, we immediately brought it here because I didn't see a wound that was quite serious and needed to be dealt with," explained Shizune a little confused.
'Hmm ... his body is completely clean from wounds, but looks very pale like he has lost enough blood, and the blood stain on his clothes must be his ... there's no way he ...' he thought hard. 'Has someone healed him? If it's true, then he has done a good job because he managed to save Sasuke from a critical period, but who is ... Huh? 'Tsunade blinked in confusion when his hands found something strange.
He also repeated his examination on the body of the raven, tracing the body from the top of the head to the bottom with the green chakra to check if there were internal wounds in his body. His eyebrows bent in confusion as his chakra sensor again found something that was blocking, especially ... the abdomen ...
"Th-this ..." he stared in disbelief, examining the raven's stomach more closely. He could feel clearly something that was starting to grow inside there ...
"Th-this ... it's impossible ..."
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
The sound of footsteps echoing along the dimly lit hallway, sounding a little bumpy like being rushed.
"How?" asked the walking man, looking back when he realized someone who had just arrived approached him.
"I have done it according to your instructions, Danzo-sama," Sai said, taking off the porcelain mask she was wearing while lowering her head in salute.
"Then Sasuke?" Danzo asked again, taking a bend in the long hallway to go to a room.
"As we have expected, he is still too weak to face Naruto. I have cleared it," Sai reported to his boss, walking after the man from behind.When they arrived in a room, he immediately opened the entrance.
"Tch, basic useless." Danzo chuckled in annoyance. He walked into the room, immediately approached the cupboard there and took some documents.
"Danzo-sama, you shouldn't go back to the Palace again." Sai told his boss.
"Hm, did something happen? How was the condition there?" he asked without looking at what he was doing.
"Tsunade is carrying out a rebellion, most of the palace has been taken over."
"Hm, do you think they conspired? Naruto and Tsunade?"
Sai shook her head. "It's possible that could happen. The good thing is that we prepared beforehand. Kakashi will probably catch up soon if we don't prepare Anbu Ne to guard in your room. The last time I saw, the two councils were arrested," he recalled what he had observe at the Palace.
"Tch." Danzo clicked again. "They are useless," he said irritably before going to the exit after finishing taking some important documents there.
"Danzo-sama, what will you do now?" Sai asked, following the boss.
"There are some things I have to do. Have you contacted him? I have to get that power. We will attack the Palace after everything is ready," Danzo said as he walked quickly leaving the aisle inside the ground. "Sai, you're on guard here, I have one assignment for you," he said with a cold grin.
"Fine, Danzo-sama."
After taking a few minutes, Haku and his group finally arrived at the main Pavilion, where the entire team gathered after the mission. Zabuza immediately ordered his men to go inside to get medical help, while he went to report to the Hokage.
"Where is Tsunade-sama?" he asked, nodding at the others.
"He's checking Sasuke-sama. What is your mission?" said Asuma approaching him.
"The mission has been successfully carried out, although there are some obstacles, but it has been overcome." Haku spoke to them.
"Obstruction?"
"The nobles hired mercenaries as bodyguards, well ... we had predicted it. Not a difficult opponent. We have brought them here," explained Haku, pointing to the intended nobles and mercenaries.
"Troublesome ... do you think Danzo sent the soldier?" Shikamaru sighed, joining in their conversation.
"Danzo? I don't know ... but I don't think so. Aren't nobles like they used to hire soldiers?"
"Did something happen?" Zabuza interrupted curiously. "You say Tsunade-sama is examining His Majesty the Crown Prince?"
"Well ... about that I think it would be better to wait for news from Tsunade-sama," said Asuma shrugging his shoulders.
"Hah ... troublesome ... what about you? Is anyone hurt?" Shikamaru asked still with his lazy face. Even though everyone knew the reason the young man with pineapple asked him because he wanted to know someone's situation.
Haku smiled amused at the anxious expression that occasionally appeared on Shikamaru's face who was still glancing at one by one the Haku team while looking for someone. "If what you mean is Kiba-chan, he's fine." Haku chuckled.
"... troublesome ..." Shikamaru let out a sigh of relief.
"I think he's still outside with Akamaru ... oh! There he is. Hey, Kiba-chan!" Haku shouted, calling the red triangle tattooed young man walking into the room.
Shikamaru turned there. One of his eyebrows flicked up when he caught the figure of his lover.
With his innocent look, Kiba approached them when he heard he was called. A grin immediately spread on his lips when he saw Shikamaru there.
"Shika!" he called happily pulling the pineapple hair young man in a hug.
Shikamaru returned the hug, but his eyebrows were still raised in surprise at the appearance of his lover.
Kiba, who felt himself being noticed, let go of his arms, then looked at his lover in confusion. "What?"
Shikamaru was silent, staring from the top down Kiba's appearance, then he grinned slightly. "No, I'm just surprised you can be this sweet by dressing like that."
"Huh?" Kiba glanced at his clothes, then quickly a red hue spread across his face. "Th-this-" Blushhh , the red color is increasingly visible.How could he forget that he was still wearing the servant kimono he wore earlier, let alone pink!
Shikamaru grinned even wider.
"Th-this is m-mission! K-because of the mission!" he stammered. "S-shit! Stop seeing me like that, you pervert!" he growled irritably. "Haku! This is your fault! Quickly return my shirt!" he demanded the beautiful young man beside him.
"Aw, but you are sweeter like that, Kiba-chan!" teased Haku walked away.
"Haku!"
"Hah ... troublesome ..." Shikamaru sighed, even though he felt satisfied seeing his lover look like that.
"Haku, Zabuza! You are here"
"Tsunade-sama!" They turned towards the Hokage who had just entered the room.
Tsunade nodded in response. "What is your mission?"
Haku also explained in detail everything that had happened during the mission. Instead they explained what happened before the Zabuza team arrived.
"Then what is Sasuke-sama's situation?" Haku asked curiously.
"That question ..." Tsunade muttered. "He's fine, he only needs a break," he decided to keep the secret he had discovered while checking Sasuke. "Shika, can I talk to you?" he asked, turning to the young pineapple.
Shikamaru raised his eyebrows, but still walked following the Hokage.
They stopped when they arrived in a quiet and safe room to maintain privacy. Tsunade closed the door there, before walking towards one of the windows. Breathe in fresh air trying to get rid of sweat on his head. "Do you know anything about Sasuke?" he asked, looking at the young man with the pineapple behind him.
Brown eyebrows frown. "Something?"
"Yeah ... something, whatever?" Tsunade asked confusedly trying to provoke a conversation.
"Did something happen with Sasuke-sama?" Shikamaru became curious.
Tsunade sighed. "Shika, do you know who is closest to Sasuke?"
"Huh?" Shikamaru blinked in confusion at a question that seemed to be jumping around from there. A shadow of memory about Naruto and Sasuke talking even to kissing which he accidentally saw this morning crossed his head.
"Do you know?" Tsunade repeated the question.
"Did something happen?" Shikamaru asked, beginning to feel suspicious.
"Well, this is a pretty complicated problem, and I have to know where the root of the problem is," Tsunade said, massaging the base of her nose which was starting to throb. "Sasuke ... he ..."
"You are stupid." The blonde youth mocked him.
"You're very stupid." The blonde young man began to laugh at him. "You're very low!"
"You just realized that I already used you? Ha!" The young man laughed harder, staring at him with a low gaze.
His chest was so painful every blue bead stabbed at him, every sentence that came out of the blonde's mouth was heard by him. Why? Why does it have to be this painful?
Then suddenly the blond young man walked away. Keep away by still staring coldly.
"I really hate you, Sasuke."
Not!
Not!
He doesn't hear it!
"I didn't hear that!" Sasuke shouted closing his ears.
"I hate you!" The blonde youth grinned at him.
"Goodbye." Said the cold blonde before he turned and moved away from him.
Not.
Wait.
Do not go!
Don't leave him!
"Naruto!"
The pale scaly eyes opened quickly in panic, accompanied by an irregular breath that attacked him. He shook his head, glanced around in panic, then blinked his oniks after he realized he was in a room. The image of the blonde youth he had seen just now vanished, replaced by a very quiet room. He raised his trembling hand. He took a deep breath and let out a heavy breath.
After feeling calm, he tried to sit down, seeing once again the situation around him. His head staggered and his eyes darkened as he tried to lift his body. Shaking his head quickly, he opened his eyes once more, trying to ignore the dizziness that had begun to attack him.
'Where is this?' it was the first sentence he thought of. The room he occupied was a simple room, but the luxurious design he remembered was often seen in the Palace building. He stared at the room in confusion, his head spinning hard trying to remember what had happened before.
A shadow about Naruto lying beneath him attacked his memory. A sharp stab stabbed him when he remembered he had been attacked by someone. His hands quickly touched his back.
"Huh?" He groped his back in confusion when he found no injuries or pain there. "What happened?" he became increasingly confused when he didn't find a single wound or even a bandage wrapped around his body. His body felt weak and powerless, but he did not find a wound there.
Dream?
Not! It can't be a dream. It feels too real to be considered a dream, and Naruto-
The eyes of the oniks were swaying, he quickly moved down from the bed. His body staggered over the sudden movement. If it wasn't for leaning on a table beside the bed, his body would have fallen to the floor. He paused, shaking his head while waiting for his body to return to normal. After dizziness in his head disappeared, he rushed to the exit.
A quiet hallway greeted him as he walked out of the room. Regardless of the direction, he stepped around to get out of the place. He must leave immediately. He must immediately pursue it. He must be soon- Hyung ~! His body was shaken again.
"Sasuke-sama!" a shout called out to him, but he didn't care for the slightest bit, even choosing to keep going. He glanced around, looking for the person he was looking for. He must immediately find Naruto. Their business is not finished. He must talk to him.
"Sasuke-sama!" the scream was heard again, his body suddenly grabbed from behind. Shizune, the woman he always remembers with Tsunade keeps talking to him, pulling him back.
"Take it off ..." Sasuke replied with a hoarse voice, brushed aside the hands that were trying to help him.
"Sasuke-sama! You must rest!" Shizune tried to hold the crown prince's body that looked shaky. But the young man continued to brush it off even now glaring at him. He became even more panicked, glancing around while looking for help.
"Sasuke-sama!" the door begged the raven.
"Noisy!" snapped Sasuke irritably. "I have to look for it, I have to find it - Uh!" His body faltered again, dizzy in his head and attacked again.His views began to swell before finally darkening.
"Sasuke-sama!"
The two pale petals finally opened again, revealing two oniks beads which were still out of focus. Sasuke blinked, staring around to find himself back in a room.
"Are you awake?" a soft voice made him turn to the side where a blonde woman sitting there.
"Uh-" Sasuke whimpered dizzy as he forced his body to get up again.
"You must rest." Said the woman helped her to sit down.
Sasuke brushed aside the help of the woman, choosing to go back and leave the room. But the dizziness that attacked him made his body slightly shaky
"I told you you had to rest." The woman now speaks more pressing. "I've given you tranquilizers. You won't be able to move a lot for a while. Take a break first."
Sasuke finally gave up, leaning his body against a pile of pillows behind his back. He accepted without resistance when the woman he knew as Tsunade gave him drinking water.
"How are you feeling now?" Tsunade looked at him worriedly.
"Hn." But the raven just turned his face.
Tsunade sighed in resignation, putting the glass on the table. Talking to raven youth is indeed a difficult thing. He did not know where to start.
"Are you healing the wounds on my body?" Sasuke suddenly made a sound, sounding still hoarse because it was first used after being conscious.
Tsunade paused, staring at the face of the raven as he watched the expression that appeared there. "No. We found you already in a woundless condition."
Now Sasuke turned to look at him, looking at him as if he didn't believe his words. "We found you unconscious at the Throne Hall. There was a lot of blood, but there wasn't a single wound on your body. Someone has healed your wound, but we didn't do it." Light Tsunade tried to convince. "What happened?"
Sasuke furrowed his brow to hear the answer, then turned his face again. A flat expression was seen there, hiding a big confusion in his head.
"How long until my body returns to function properly?" he asked coldly to Tsunade.
"You will not go anywhere, Sasuke. I will not let you. The condition of your body now does not allow you to act rashly," Tsunade warned him.
"I am fine!" the raven's hiss looked at him sharply.
"You're not fine! Think of the fetus in your stomach, boy!" Tsunade snapped, scolding him, managed to make the raven youth gasp and stare at him stiffly.
"Do you think I won't realize it? I'm a medical knight! I will know something like this!" Tsunade sighed.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and turned his face in the other direction.
"So you won't tell me what really happened?" Tsunade said staring at him concernedly. But the raven was still silent not answering.
Tsunade sighed again. "I didn't find a single sign on your body."
That sentence made Sasuke widen his eyes in surprise and looked back at him. One of his hands quickly touched his left neck. "What do you mean?" Sasuke asked coldly, his fingers clenched tightly when he didn't find the chakra sensation he usually felt when he touched the mark on his neck.
"That should be my question. I didn't find a single sign on your body. What really happened. Why can you ... get pregnant ...?" Tsunade asked, feeling uncomfortable talking about this with the crown prince.
Sasuke fell silent. Then suddenly he moved out of bed. He brushed aside the harsh Tsunade who tried to hold him back. With a slightly unsteady step, he walked towards the closet where a mirror was installed there. He saw his appearance from the mirror's reflection. His body looks paler than usual, but it is clean from wounds as he thought. But that is not what made him stare at the reflection in the mirror. His neck ... was clean of any marks.
That sign ...
The mark Naruto made on his body ... completely vanished.
Naruto has ... released it ...
Naruto ... really already ... left it ...
"From your reaction, you look like you just realized that your body has no sign," Tsunade said watching him, pulling the raven back from his mind.
Sasuke fell silent, his vision could not escape from his neck now plain white. His fingers tightly gripped the neck which should have a sign engraved there.
"Sasuke ..." Tsunade tried to call him softly. "Can I know ... what's the name of the father of the fetus?" Tsunade looked sadly when she saw the raven's body jerked slightly to hear the sentence. He knew that asking this patient might make him even more hurt. However, he still had to ask. This problem must be resolved before becoming bigger. "Are ... you guys are marking ? I guess that explains a little why the sign isn't there now. But I don't know if the mark really can be removed ..."
"Sasuke ... can you tell me who is his father?" Tsunade tried asking again with a softer voice. But the raven is still frozen in its place. Not one bit seemed to want to answer, as if busy with his own thoughts.
Tsunade bit her lip, remembering her conversation with Shikamaru before. He felt doubtful if his speculations really happened. "Naruto ..." he said the name, feeling even more confident when he saw the raven clench his fist. "Naruto is ... his father, isn't he?"
Sasuke gritted his teeth. His chest felt tight filled with thoughts that continued to rage unclear in his head. "... That's that ..." he suddenly let out a voice.
"Huh?" Tsunade blinked in confusion.
"Don't mention that name in front of me!" Sasuke hissed, glancing sharply at Tsunade.
The Hokage's blue bead was defeated, surprised to hear that voice filled with hate came out of the mouth of the raven.
"Never mention that name in front of me!" Sasuke hissed sharply. "He ... that person ... I hate him! I hate him very much!" he suddenly spoke uncontrollably. "He lied to me! He already used me! He even made me bear his child ..." Sasuke hissed softly, hugging his stomach tightly with both hands. "Now he even ... left me ..." he whispered so miserably, the pain seemed to pierce his chest. Without realizing it, a tear dripped slowly from the tip of his eye.
"Sasuke ..." Tsunade gasped at the young man who was supposed to be the crown prince now looking so fragile. He could even feel the pain he felt. He suddenly felt so guilty for bringing this up. "Sasu-"
"Do not come close!" snapped the raven avoiding Tsunade who was trying to help him.
"Do not come close." Sasuke now said like a whisper. Warm water is now soaking his cheeks. His feelings suddenly spilled. He should be able to hold it back. He should be able to control himself more. But ... knowing that there was someone who now knew about his condition, he suddenly felt like crying. His feelings suddenly wanted to burst out unbearably. Sick. Rasaya is so sick ...
He no longer knew how he felt now, it felt so messy that his chest was so tight.
"Sasuke ... Naruto must have his own reasons for doing this ..." Tsunade tried to help him. He was eager to help him, but he even knew what really happened between the two young men.
Sasuke glared sharply at him. "I told you not to mention that name in front of me!" he hissed angrily. "He is a traitor! He lied to me! He cheated me!" his voice rose. "He just ... he just wants to use me ..." he whispered, as if he were saying that to himself.
"But doesn't he love you?"
Sasuke looked up, staring in confusion at Tsunade who suddenly said that.
"He loves you ..." Tsunade said without hesitation, staring wistfully at the raven youth in front of him.
"No kidding!" Sasuke hissed angrily. "Do you think you can play with me ?!" his voice rose. "You're the same! You just want to lie to me! He left me! He doesn't love me at all! He-"
"He loves you! The fetus in your stomach is the proof ..." Tsunade quickly interrupted Sasuke's sentence, walking toward the raven.
Sasuke was stunned, his body fell silent stared at the blonde woman in front of him. "What do you mean?"
"Fetus in your stomach ... the fetus is your child. The fetus will not be formed if Naruto does not have feelings for you .." Tsunade explained trying to calm the young man.
Sasuke fell silent, just stared straight at the two blue beads as if asking for an explanation.
Tsunade smiled sadly. "You love him right?" he said looking at the two onices. "So Naruto must also have the same feeling as you." He also decided to sit in a chair, allowing the raven to calm his own mind.
"Have you ever heard the term ... soul bonding ?" he asked suddenly, making the Raven young man in front of him increasingly staring at him confusedly.
Tsunade gave a small smile as she said. "I have a friend who also experienced the same thing with you." His gaze wandered over his friend."Marking should not be able to make a submissive pregnant. That is a theory that really underlies the occurrence of marking and dating in this world. Many demons who only like sex choose to do markings rather than mating. My friends also do that because they were just playing. But the reality said something else when my friend suddenly had a child because of their 'messing around', their relationship was broken because my friend chose to leave without telling his partner anything. He came to me and asked me to help him. But a few weeks after he settled to live with me The man who became his partner suddenly arrived, claiming he had been looking for him half dead. Do you know what happened, Sasuke? " Tsunade smiled when she saw the raven young man calm down and listened to the story.
"They love each other. Because that's how my friends can bear their offspring." Tsunade gave a short pause while glancing at the reaction of the crown prince. He sighed when he got nothing. "Indeed, by doing a conversation, two demons will be bound together for the rest of their lives. Sick and happy, they will feel it together. But mating is also often used to get offspring. There is one thing that ordinary people rarely know, that they will not be able get offspring if their feelings are not yet tied in. The submissive womb will not be formed when the two demon chakras are not bound together. The only thing that can make their chakra react is the soul of each demon. The soul bond between two demons who love each other, that's called soul bonding. "
"Naruto loves you. He has the same feeling as you. That's why your body reacts because you have the same feeling. Even though you haven't physically done theating, your souls are bound to each other. That fetus is the proof, Sasuke ..." Tsunade explained with a sad smile looking at the raven in front of him.
Sasuke fell silent, but the two beads of the oniks said everything. Various emotions mixed up there. Then he looked down, his hands slowly felt his stomach as if he still didn't believe in the thing he had just heard.
"Naruto must have his own reasons why he chose to leave you ..." Tsunade said again when the raven was still silent.
"Sasuke, do you know what is happening with this kingdom?" continued Tsunade suddenly said something different.
"We are conducting a coup on this kingdom. We will knock Danzo out of his throne." This sentence managed to make the raven look at him again.
"We have taken this place. I think you also know if Naruto also wants to do a coup, and no, we don't work together, or rather he rejects the invitation to cooperate from me," Tsunade continued speaking unilaterally when her interlocutor still said nothing .
"I know you must be very confused now. Therefore I will not speak at length and add to your mind unless you want it. But, there is one thing I think I need to tell you," he continued, staring at the two onices without hesitation.
"I wanted Naruto to become the new King after we succeeded in getting rid of Danzo. But he even refused me before I asked him directly. Do you know what he said when he refused my invitation?" he asked with a thin smile on his lips.
Sasuke just fell silent, staring straight at Tsunade waiting for whatever the Hokage woman would say.
The smile on Tsunade's lips became even more noticeable. "Naruto asked me to make you a king in his place," he said successfully making the two oniks widen in disbelief at the words.
"I don't know the problem of what happened between you, and why Naruto left you. But I'm sure of one thing, if Naruto trusts you, Sasuke. He really trusts you even to entrust this kingdom in your hands ..."
"I think ... I can trust you ... Sasuke ..."
-D DEGH H! -
The sentence suddenly remembered his head. The image of Naruto's face staring at him was wounded as if stabbing him suddenly. As much as the memory of him attacked Naruto, while the blond youth just dodged it into his head and ... the sad smile he had last seen ...
"I think ... I can trust you ..."
"Uh-!" Suddenly he wanted to cry. The warm rain that had subsided now re-gathered in his eyelids. His body slumped to the floor without strength. His gaze began to blur as memories of Naruto showered on his mind.
"I-" his breath caught holding back the sob.
Tsunade looked sadly at the young man before him. "The wound on your body ... I think Naruto was the one who healed him ..." he said, which the raven might no longer hear.
Sasuke bit his lip. Guilt instantly accumulated on his chest. He has destroyed everything. He has disappointed him. Not Naruto who betrayed him, but was the one who betrayed the young man ...
His hand gently felt his stomach, as if he felt the fetus inside there was trying to calm him down. Their fetus ... his fetus and Naruto ...
"Naruto loves you ..."
"I-" warm beads began to trickle down her cheeks.
...very stupid...
Wuussssshhhh-!
A large golden yellow fox shot fast in the darkness. His nine tails let out a fire, making his body, which was already glowing gold, increasingly visible in the darkness. However, the speed he uses to run makes ordinary people unable to see his figure. Fox demon sharpened his sense of smell, crawling every trace he could find in the middle of the forest. The two councils said the underground room was a few kilometers from the Palace. Because of that he ensured that none of the tracks were passed by him. After a few minutes he circled in search of the exact location of the cellar, he finally found something suspicious.
Without wasting time he immediately rushed there, before he finally arrived at a cave that was quite large . Fox demon stepped in without hesitation into the cave, without fear if there was a trap that might prevent him. Within seconds, the Fox Demon changed his body. He who had walked on four legs, now stands on two legs. The golden fur covering his skin began to disappear and was replaced by tan colored skin.The hair on her head shortened to spiky blonde hair. Nine tails behind his body one by one vanished.
Naruto immediately pulled out his large sword from the scabbard on his back after his body had returned to perfection. The sapphire beads glanced sharply around the cave. As expected the cave was indeed suspicious. Inside it is too good to say it has never been touched by anyone. His footsteps stopped in the middle, his sapphire beads glanced sharply in the direction of the cave where he felt someone walking there.
"I thought you would come here, Naruto-kun." Said someone who slowly revealed his figure. The young man with a fake smile grinned at him.
"Sai." The sapphire bead darkened, the grin on his lips looked very ferocious.
An important meeting was held after three major missions were completed. The kingdom has been taken over, even though the King who is the main objective of their coup mission has not been defeated. The situation became increasingly precarious and chaotic because Danzo suddenly disappeared somewhere.
"What will we do now, Tsunade?" Tsume let out a voice amid the confusion that engulfed the meeting.
"I think for now, we can only wait." Shikaku answered it.
"Don't we need to send additional troops to help Naruto-sama?" Inoichi also said.
"I don't think the kid trusts us at all?" Tsume spoke again.
"Talk to you Tsume. He is His Majesty the Crown Prince." Asuma sighed.
"This will be difficult. We cannot act rashly and send troops there."
"I think we can only wait for news from Kakashi and Yamato." Tsunade finally spoke with a sigh. "Shikaku, have you prepared for the plan tomorrow?"
"Hm, I told some of our men to get ready. We can have an open meeting with the people tomorrow morning," replied the pineapple-haired man.
"What about the two councils? Do they want to tell the truth?"
"We will make them talk. There are still a few hours before sunrise. We have to use it as best we can. Make sure that none of our plans leak first to the people before we open it all," Tsunade explained massaging her temples.
"Then how come-
Brak!
"Tsunade-sama!" a shout along the door opening shocked all demons who were attending an important meeting.
"Shizune ?!" Tsunade as the others stared in astonishment when they saw the short black-haired woman looking panting like she had run away.
"Tsunade-sama!" Shizune spoke frantically. "Sasuke-! Sasuke-sama!" he still gasped.
"Sasuke-sama disappeared from his room!"
"WHAT?!"
Slam! - the door board that became the entrance to the room was opened quickly. Tsunade made time to explore entering the room, followed by several demons who also came in to check the room.
"Damn! You stupid boy!" Tsunade growled irritably when he found no trace of the sudden departure of the Crown Prince.
"Search throughout the Palace! Make sure you look for each inch and find Sasuke Ouji-sama!" His orders were hard on all demons there, which were immediately obeyed.
"Shika! Kiba!" he called the two demons. "You follow in Kakashi's footsteps, it's possible that Sasuke will go to find Naruto. Make sure you bring the boy here, understand!"
"Troublesome ..." complained Shikamaru, who was immediately pulled by Kiba to the exit to obey the orders of their leader.
"Damn, that boy! Even though I warned him not to act rashly! Did he not think about the condition of his body and fetus ?! Without a dominant person, his body would be difficult to survive, damn it!" Tsunade growled angrily, feeling the frustration that was increasingly pressing on the crown of his head.
"I thought you would come here, Naruto-kun." Said someone who slowly revealed his figure. The young man with a fake smile grinned at him.
"Sai." The sapphire bead darkened, the grin on his lips looked very ferocious.
"Are you having trouble finding this place?" said Sai, still with her fake smile, walking over to her.
"Where is Danzo?" Naruto ignored the young man's words, the flash in his blue bead was sharp.
"Very cold." Complained Sai still smiled flatly. "You don't look happy to meet me, Naruto-kun."
"Don't make small talk, asshole. You think it will be that easy. I forgive you for attacking Sasuke." Naruto's hiss glared at him.
"Ah ... that's right. Sasuke, how is he? Is he dead now? Very badly the crown prince must-" BLARR! - a flash of fire suddenly came over his thin body, managed to destroy the cave wall behind his body.
"Cover your foul mouth before I really destroy your body without remainder." Naruto said very coldly, staring intently at the black-haired youth in front of him. He turned the position of his sword, showing a very sharp shiny iron blade.
"Cold and sharp. I really like this dark side, Naruto-kun." Sai grinned wider, gently rubbing his cheek slightly injured by the attack.
Naruto gritted his teeth, before he sighed. All the emotions in his eyes disappeared into a dark gaze. "Where is Danzo?" he asked coldly, ignoring whatever Sai said.
The grin on Sai's lips disappeared into a flat smile before he said. "Danzo-sama has a very important business. He allowed me to play with you here. Isn't he very good, Naruto-kun? We can have fun here," he said still with a flat smile.
"Tsk. I'll find out for myself then." Naruto chuckled irritably before he quickly shot forward to attack Sai.
But Sai didn't have that open defense. He quickly pulled out the large paper roll he used to use to fight and took a brush and ink. With a very fast movement he drew several monsters there and called him a real monster. The monsters darted quickly to face Naruto who was crashing towards him.
Naruto without the slightest hesitation, slashing the monsters quickly before lunging back towards Sai. But the bigger monster was waiting for him, slamming a large fist at him. Naruto swiftly jumped backwards to avoid the punch. He deflected another attack that aimed at his head, then lowered his body before darting forward and slashing the monster in half. Slash! - the monster's body broke into ink.
"I never thought you would be as cowardly as this using artificial monsters to fight me," Naruto said, stopping his body movements. A smirk appeared on his lips, covering his breath which was slightly gasping for lack of chakra. He has already spent most of his chakra to heal Sasuke.
"I just want to make the most of our time together, Naruto-kun." Sai replied with her typical smile.
"Tch." Naruto clicked. He put his big sword into the scabbard on his back. He bit his thumb to draw blood, then formed a long red line with blood on the arm of his left hand. He said several seal spells, and a sign appeared on his left arm. The sign lights up before finally disappearing immediately with the blood. The seal that locks its strength is now released. The chakra he had sealed there a few days ago quickly spread throughout his body. He knew that using it would be risky, because he did not know whether the chakra had stabilized.Meeting Sai here is not the plan, he should have used this chakra for the last time against Danzo. His chakra up and down unstable won't help him much. The seal was installed to limit the use of the chakra. Now without that seal, he will not be able to adjust the amount of chakra he will use. But the situation is urgent enough. He must find Danzo immediately, or at least find out the traces of Danzo.
"Oh, are you going to use your secret moves?" Sai asked, voicing his pleasure, watching Naruto like he was preparing something.
Naruto smiled sideways. "Maybe," he said briefly before turning his body into a big fox and in an instant his body vanished from Sai's eyes.
Sai blinked in surprise, he suddenly glanced around to find out the disappearance of the blond young man.
BUAGH! - a quick blast suddenly appeared from his left side. Sai who did not think it failed to survive and slammed hard against the cave wall.
"Cough-!" he coughed loudly, blood dripping slowly from the tip of his temple. "Naruto-kun is really great, I didn't see the attack at all," he said, still imposing a smile. He tried to stand up, preparing to attack, but again his eyes failed to catch the presence of the golden fox demon .
Wusshh-!
Sai sharpened his eyes, concentrating on finding out the position of the fox demon he had just felt earlier. He blinked when he saw the attack that suddenly targeted him again, but- BUAGH! - Failed when the attack turned out to be faster than before.
He slammed hard in the air, but managed to turn his body and land with friction hard on the ground, reducing the shock he received. He quickly summoned several other monsters that were more powerful with their drawing abilities. "Attack him!" the command was loud.
The monsters growled, circling Sai's body while preparing to attack anyone who would hit his master. But it seemed that Sai had been mistaken because- "Do you think they will be able to hold me back?" - a sharp, cold whisper suddenly rang beside his ear before- BUAGHH! - a flaming tail hit his back.
"Shit!" Sai clicked in pain, quickly using her water elemental stance to eliminate the fire that burned her body. He gritted his teeth when he saw the artificial monsters easily defeated, shattered into scorched ash.
He also turned his body into a black and white patterned tiger, quickly crashing towards Naruto when he saw it was still busy attacking the monsters he had summoned.
But Naruto was more deft, he had anticipated the attack, crashing back towards Sai. The two demons collided with each other, biting and clawing at launching their dominant attack. They rolled on the ground, without removing their grip. Fox demon who has a bigger body ends up dominating. He wanted to launch an attack on his tail, but Sai did not give up and kicked his legs hard, trying to escape from the fox's grip.The tiger rolled violently away from the deadly attack. His breath was panting.
"A demon does have to fight like a demon." The golden-haired Fox demon said with a sardonic smirk, showing his sharp teeth that looked creepy. He walked slowly toward the tiger like the savage who was watching his prey. His nine tails ignite the fire at each end.
The tiger growled no less. With his skilled ability he managed to make duplicate monsters like himself from ink. Three tigers similar to him now stand fiercely accompanying him. Without wasting time, the four tigers lunged forward towards the fox from various directions.
Naruto growled, deftly drawing his tail fending off the attacks of the four tigers. One tiger that attacked him from the left slammed hard due to the tail slashing. The golden fox lowered quickly to avoid the attack of another tiger from above, making the tiger collide with another tiger who was also jumping attacking.
Naruto without wasting the opportunity, immediately lunging towards the two tigers. His sharp claws did not hesitate to injure one of the tigers, making him split apart into ink. Not enough, he lunged again at the other tiger who was also about to attack him. The collision made the two different colored demons roll on the ground to attack each other sharply. It ends with the fox dominating before - Comp! - sharp bite mercilessly tearing the tiger.
The duplicate tiger was crushed into ink. A black splash momentarily made his point of view dark. He gasped when it turned out that Sai was using the blind spot to attack. The fox slammed back. The fox growled angrily after successfully stopping his body's eviction due to the slam, without wasting time hurrying fast towards the tiger.
Sai immediately ran backwards, circling the cliff wall, while observing the enemy before finally finding the right point and lunging back.
The two demons lunged forward, but a few meters before the attack collided, the tiger suddenly jumped back and turned its body back. Sai quickly released his special roll. He called the picture on the scroll and hundreds of long and pointed needles suddenly appeared before lunging forward to stab the fox.
Naruto gasped, but his reflexive body quickly turned sharply avoiding the sharp needles that targeted him.
Jl! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb! -Jleb!
Hundreds of needles pierced sharply to the ground when the fox managed to be thinly avoided.
No less spooky, the fox replied, he ran again and quickly hurried forward towards Sai.
"Tch!" Sai chuckled irritably, quickly turning her body back into a tiger and running away. They ran hand in hand around the big cave, attacking and dodging each other. The tiger widened his eyes when he saw the attack that the fox was about to carry out and -BLARR! -the cave wall beside him also burned as he managed to dodge the attack thinly. But he could not calm down when the fox with a streak launched the same attack.
The fox's nine tails stood sharply. The flames at the end ignite and gather together, forming a large fireball which is compacted into very small. Naruto threw the fireball quickly at Sai, before wasting time filling ammunition and attacking it with another fireball.
The fireball streaked quickly towards Sai mercilessly -lar! -Blarr! -Blarr! -BLARR!
Sai ran in panic, with a slight defeat managed to avoid the frightening attack. The cave walls trembled as if they were about to collapse due to the huge explosion which made the atmosphere of their battle even more tense. Not wanting to run out of ideas, Sai called for another duplicate tiger. More than before and telling them to attack Naruto while giving him little time to think of ways to counterattack.
The fox snorted in disgust, feeling lazy to face ink monsters again. He looked down when a tiger attacked him from above, then quickly shot forward to attack the other tiger in front of him. Scratch! - sharp claws coated with fire were launched quickly, the tiger was destroyed by fire.
Another tiger crashed again, Naruto easily deflected it with a slash of his tail. Slam the tiger very hard, then switch to another tiger and snatch it again with the fire tail. The tiger roared in pain as its body burned down before it was crushed into pieces of inked paper. He wanted to attack the other tiger again when suddenly -AM! - an explosion was heard followed by another explosion -Bam! -Bam! -Bam! -Bam!
The fox narrowed his eyes when he saw the perpetrator who carried out the explosion. But his confusion about why he was not given an explosion was answered when the roof and walls of the cave around him suddenly shook violently. The fox widened his eyes before he quickly moved away from the place. "Shit!" Sai had just blown the roof supporting walls above him. The roofs made of the rocky ground vibrated collapsing one by one before starting to collapse completely.
The fox rushed away to avoid the ruins that were increasingly becoming after him - Boam! - a huge stone suddenly fell almost about his body, then -Bam! - collapsed other rocks and continued to collapse -Bam! -Bam! -Bam! - fox it ran away in defeat until finally he almost reached the safe point. But the roof above it doesn't seem to tolerate because it all suddenly collapses simultaneously and -BAAMM!
" Hosh - hosh - hosh -! Shit -!" Naruto gasped, he managed to throw his body to safety, avoiding the thin roof of the roof. Now most of the caves have fallen apart. The passage leading underground can be clearly seen now. The fox moved his body to stand up, stomping dirty dust from his body's fur. He glanced up where the perpetrator was standing grinning happily at him.
"Ah ... it really won't work ..." Sai said with a satisfied grin opposite to what he was complaining.
"Tch." The fox clicked. "You think I'll die that easily," he replied sarcastically.
"Naruto-kun. You're so great. Why don't you just join us?" Sai said with his distinctive smile.
"Are you kidding?" Naruto snorted in disgust. "Even my corpse will not be willing to set foot on your side," he said coldly, his sapphire beads glanced sharply at the young man in front of him.
"Why?!" Sai suddenly shouted. "Is it because there is Sasuke there ?!" he demanded suddenly. The smile on his lips disappeared.
"Don't ever mention his name with your rotten mouth, jerk," Naruto hissed glaring at him.
"Tsk." Sai gritted his teeth in anger, before he turned his body back into a tiger and crashed towards Naruto.
The two different types of demons again clashed with claws and fangs. The tiger splashed its sharp nails at the fox. But the fox managed to reply with his sharp claws. Their bodies collided and rolled on the ground several times. Attack each other sharply without anyone succumbing. The Tiger roared in pain as the golden fox stuck mercilessly into its sharp fangs. The meat felt sharply torn, he used his claws to retaliate and break away. But Naruto managed to dodge and jumped backwards.
Two pairs of opposite eye colors glared at each other. Naruto did not hesitate to immediately attack again, using his tail and grabbing the tiger with a fire. But the tiger managed to dodge, and immediately crashed again. Their bodies collided and collided with attacks. They rolled on the floor of the cave without releasing each other's grip. They continued to attack without knowing that several meters from them there was a large hole that took them to the basement. They keep moving closer there until -Wushh! - "Huh ?!" the two demons widened wide as their bodies now fell freely in the air towards the basement.
Naruto immediately broke free from the grip of the tiger. Using Sai's body as a foothold, and jumping down faster than Sai so as not to experience a strong pounding. Her sapphire quickly glanced around looking for a strong foothold. When he found it, he made a round in the air, then turned towards Sai who was still on it.
A grin was painted sharply on Naruto's lips, before he quickly turned his body to normal and pulled his large sword on his back. Without hesitation he launched a blast of fire towards the top where Sai was still floating in the air- Slash!
"Shit!" Sai, aware of the attack. Moving frantically, without footing he would not be able to jump away. He turned around, managed to avoid the thin attack. But he misunderstood if Naruto only attacked once. That blonde young man without hesitation attacked fast, depicting his sword attack which was now coated with fire to Sai- Slash! -Slash! -Slash! -Slash! -Slash!
Sai chuckled in panic, she made a round in the air while avoiding the attack. Sped fast down where Naruto was. But Naruto's attack was faster, and -Slash! - "Fuck!" an attack successfully hit his body when he failed to avoid it. His body was shaky, and hit the blond boy. Naruto twisted his body away before he kicked his legs slamming Sai towards the cave wall and -BAMM!
"Cough!"Naruto coughed as his body finally crashed into the cave floor hard. He stood slightly staggered, the pain immediately felt due to the pounding. He glanced in the direction where Sai fell. Bringing teeth angrily when he saw the tiger still able to move. "... not enough," he whispered softly.
He took his sword that had fallen not far from him before walking towards the tiger. "Still not enough." He hissed sharply.
The sapphire beads darken, filled with a lot of hate emotions. "I'm still not satisfied enough to beat him!" he hissed angrily, before turning his body into a fox and ran crashing towards the tiger.
Sai gritted his teeth as the pain struck his body. He used the rest of his energy and dodged Naruto's attack.
"Don't run away jerk!" The Fox Demon growled angrily, running after the tiger. He launched an attack quickly, managed to hit the tiger's body and knocked him hard on the ground --AM - "I will not forgive you ..." he said coldly, moving again toward his prey.
"Cough! -Uhuk!" The tiger coughed, its body slowly returned to normal. Sai put on a distinctive smile and looked at the fox who was walking towards him. "Very strong," he said weakly. "You are very strong, Naruto-kun, and also cruel ..." he said almost almost in a whisper.
The fox glared coldly, walking slowly toward him. "Do you know your mistake, Sai?" he hissed sharply.
"Trying to stop you here?" Sai replied, still smiling weakly, he tried to lift himself up, standing up a little staggering.
The fox snorted, before grinning very scaryly. "Your mistake is ..." the fox ran crashing, launching an attack on Sai. The young man was unable to dodge because his body had lost a lot of energy. BUAGH! - The fox slammed his body against Sai, he grinned hatefully and said "Did you know your mistake?" -BUAGH! - he attacked again mercilessly. "Your mistake ..." -BUAGH! - "... is ..." The fox twisted its body and then drew its tail very strongly on Sai and -BAAMM! -The young man's body slammed hard against the cave wall.
"Because you dared to hurt Sasuke ..." Naruto said very coldly, staring sharply at the young man who now couldn't fight without any mercy.
"Cough! -Uhuk! -" Sai coughed weakly with blood. The pain burst through his body, making him unable to move anymore. He glanced at the golden fox who was now walking toward him, then he chuckled almost effortlessly. "ha ... ha ... ha ... you must be very angry at me, Naruto-kun ..."
"Sasuke ... does he mean so much to you ...?" he said softly again whether for whom he proposed it.
Naruto stopped his steps aside, looking hatefully at the young man who was now lying helplessly in front of him. But he said nothing, only looked down on the young man.
Sai smiled thinly. He extended his hand, but was unable to reach the fox's golden feathers when he had lost his energy. "Even your demon form is very beautiful ..." he whispered unclear. The thin smile on his lips suddenly widened, in contrast to the fake smile he used to use. He might not even realize that he was smiling for the first time. "I'm happy to be able to fight you, Naruto-kun ..." he said before he closed his eyes, handing the end of his life to the fox.
Naruto looked at him flat, now his body had changed back to normal. He swung his big sword slowly, the fire quickly covered the sword's iron blade. He shook it quickly and "Goodbye." -SLASH! - The flames appeared large and burned the body of the young man he had just slashed.
After Naruto finished his business with Sai, he immediately went down the underground passage. He checked one by one the room was there to look for clues about Danzo. The long hallway was only lit by a small torch, making it dimly lit. Naruto began to get a little annoyed to find the breadth of the basement. He doesn't have much time, especially if it's just being thrown away at that place.
Bruakk-!
A loud bang was heard as the wooden shelf was knocked down hard, then followed - Crash!
Bruak-!
BRAK-!
"FUCK!" Naruto growled angrily. He had checked every inch of things he found there, cabinets, bookshelves, tables, drawers, everything he had checked there. But he did not succeed in finding any clues that could help him find Danzo.
Naruto sighed, choosing to control his emotions instead of wasting energy in vain. His chakra level has now reached a minimum. Fighting Sai was enough to drain her chakra. He did not want to risk throwing away his energy in vain, anticipating if he got an unexpected enemy later.
After making sure there was nothing else he could check there, Naruto decided to leave the place.
He took a different path than when he entered. His feeling said the place had another way out, remembering Sai holding him at the start door. Danzo must have another way to escape safely.
"Huh?"He suddenly stopped his steps when he felt something strange. Glance at the intersection of the aisle where it is now. Something feels like it is blocking.
His eyebrows frowned uncomfortably when he felt something that felt familiar. Feeling curious, he walked along with his instincts. He tightened his fist when he felt the familiar chakra getting stronger. This Chakra ...
Not. This is not possible.This Chakra ... it shouldn't be possible for him to feel it again. He hadn't felt the chakra for years. A person's chakra that should no longer exist in this world. There can't be him-!
But his legs still stepped even now to run. Even though his head continued to deny but his legs kept moving faster, it continued to move closer to the origin of the chakra he felt.
" Hosh! -Hosh! -Hosh! - " he gasped, his legs finally stopped moving. He stared at not believing the metal door that stood firmly in front of him. He grabbed the doorknob quickly, but stopped when the large padlock chain held the door open.
He ground his teeth, without wasting any time immediately draws his sword before -Slash! - He cut the chain lock and -Klang - the chain clattering loudly clattered to the floor.
Suddenly he hesitated to reach the door handle. His mind continued to deny if what he felt now was impossible. Taking a deep breath, he began to open the door slowly. The beat of his heart began to pound hard waiting for whatever was in there nervously.
Darkness was the first time he saw it. The room was very dark and -Cring! - the sound of the chain caught his attention.
Krincing! - the sound was clearer, pulled his gaze towards the corner of the room where a bed was and ... his sapphire beads widened wide as he faintly began to catch a long black haired young man sitting there ...
The young raven raised his head, showing two beads oniks which made Naruto widen in disbelief.
"I ... tachi ...?!"
to be continued ...
