We approached the bridge where the spy was supposed to be and took our positions.
"Remember the plan!" Captain Yamato reminded us. So far it was him as Sasori, and we ambush the spy, great plan.
We sat behind a large rock waiting for the spy. I was scratching my chin trying to think of something. I was forgetting what happened in this scene. Oh well, must not have been that important.
Finally a cloaked man walked onto the bridge and stood next to Sasori a.k.a Yamato. They talked for a while and I could barely make out what they were saying.
"Aw man, I can't tell what they're talking about!" Naruto complained. Hmm must be part of the Kekkei Genkei. Another figure appeared and I turned to see Naruto in full rage. It was Orochimaru, and not to mention the hooded guy turned out to be Kabuto! This day is just getting better and better. Kabuto formed chakra around his hand and took a fighting position. Yamato jumped out of the wooden clone right as Kabuto cut through it with his chakra technique. He gave us the signal and we jumped out of hiding, taking fighting stances.
"Oh look whose here. Why isn't it Naruto?" Orochimaru said cockily. "And oh! It's my lucky day! Why Ashelza and Taylor Yamada!"
"How do you know our names?" Taylor yelled at him.
"Aw I'm sad you don't remember me," he started. "Remember the time I visited your home?" Suddenly imaged raced through my head and I grabbed it in pain. Taylor did the same and we both screamed our heads off as the memories came back. The fire from the dream and the man in the clock became clearer... It was him!
"You bastard!" Naruto yelled. "What did you do to them?"
"Oh just a reminder of their past."
My head stopped hurting as I fell to the ground, putting my arms out to catch my fall. Landing on my hands and knees I started coughing up blood, Taylor doing the same. Naruto was on his knees and rage boiled inside him. His whiskers thickened and his eyes turned blood red. A red ooze formed around him as he sported two tails. My eyes widened, this is what I forgot! I mentally face palmed myself and slowly stood up.
"Naruto... Stop!" I yelled coughing up more blood. That only enraged him more as he ran and attacked the snake guy.
"Naruto!" I yelled again. "Stop this!" I ran up to him and saw another tail was formed.
"NARUTO!" I cried as I saw the pure red eyes. He grabbed Orochimaru and jumped deep into the forest. I ran after him, ignoring the calls behind me.
I heard a loud roar as I stumbled through the forest. I saw a huge crater with the two inside.
"Naruto!" I yelled but it was too late. Naruto's skin was peeling off revealing a bloody fox form. I jumped from the trees down to the clearing and ran up to them. He looked back just to be thrown back towards the bridge. Orochimaru's neck extended and wrapped it around me.
"Thanks for making this easier, I was looking for a hostage!" He smiled evilly. I tried to break free but he just tightened his grip. His neck traveled to where Naruto had landed. We were back at the bridge and everyone's eyes were on me.
"Hey..." I calmly waved at them.
"Now..." Orochimaru spoke even tighter now. "Hand over the Jinchuuriki or your friend here dies!" He yelled crushing my bones causing me to scream in pain.
"Ashelza! Let her go!" Taylor screamed.
"If you insist," the snake guy said and dropped me down the canyon. I closed my eyes ready to hit the ground but hit... wood? I looked up to see Yamato cast a justu to stop me falling. I stared up and saw Naruto land on the ground by the bridge. Taylor and Sakura turned and their eyes widened in horror.
"Naruto?!" Sakura yelled when she saw him.
"Sakura! Taylor! Get out of there!" Yamato yelled and did the sealing jutsu. Sakura ignored him and ran to Naruto. His unconscious self-turned and slapped her away with his tail.
"Sakura!" Taylor yelled and ran up to her. She grabbed Sakura but was also slapped away by Naruto. Yamato's sealing jutsu wasn't working.
I slowly stumbled up and walked towards the wall of the canyon. I ran and jumped off the wood plank to the other side. I focused on forming chakra in the soles of my feet and ran up the side of the wall to where the others were.
Naruto noticed me and waved his tail around a bit. I quickly dodged only to be hit by another tail. I landed on my side and held my arm as it bled. My body felt numb as I ran again. I dodged all of his tails and managed to grab him, pulling him into a hug.
"Naruto! Snap out of this!" I yelled as my arms burned from the fox's chakra. "This isn't you!" I bit my lip as I tried not to cry out.
The bloody cloak smothering Naruto was disappearing from his face and body. Screams filled the air as Naruto slowly emerged from the beast.
"Naruto... Naruto!" I yelled as he lay unconscious in my burned arms. Sakura and Taylor limped behind me and sat down.
"Let me see him," Sakura said as she started to heal him. His burnt skin started to fade and Naruto shot up. He looked around in shock and spotted our injuries.
"What happened to you guys?" he asked. We looked at each other and nodded.
"Orochimaru attacked and you went a little crazy." Well, it was half true."
"That damn snake! He'll pay for this," he said balling his hands into fists. I gave him a warm smile, he was back to normal.
"Don't push yourself too hard," I laughed patting his head. "We're still..." I started but hit the ground.
"Ashelza!" was the last thing I heard when everything went black.
