Jail Stairs-

Sakura walked sown the stairway in the stairway that led to Naruto's cell. She was lucky enough to find this cell four years ago, when they brought in the last member of Akatsuki to be caught, Tobi, and question him on their actions.

Although the cell was rarely used, it was low enough underground to hide a chakra signal, or id anyone escaped, give her enough time to get down there. The rock down there was so hard, not even the chidori could make it through.

The cell was not in good condition at all. Being so far down, there was no light. The air was stale and insects, rats and the occasional criminal could be found down there. Some criminals that were put down there seemed to take pride in being there. It meant that they were dangerous.

As Sakura made her way towards the cell she thought of how Naruto would react to the news. Would he be mad? Sad? Happy? As she walked towards the cell she wondered if team 7 would ever be the same again.

Jail Cell # 155890-

He was finally finished. It had taken a while but he had enough chakra to form a jutsu to get out of there. He would have waited, seeing how Sasuke had made a bad mistake and under estimated Kyuubi's powers. He had been aiming for three days but instead got three hours. In thirty minutes he would have full access.

Unfortunately Sakura was on her way down so he needed to leave now. He had to make it look like he was trying to get away. He made some seals and gathered chakra all around his body. Starting a technique taken from one of his friends years ago.

"Earth Style: Earth Tunnel Jutsu!" he whispered putting his hands on the wall.

Dust shot out everywhere, and when it cleared, a giant gaping hole appeared. He smiled and started to walk through. Then he stopped. He picked created a shadow clone and transformed it into a rock. He figured that he would need to know when Sakura was coming. He also didn't want to be perceived as stupid so he formed some more seals.

"Water Jutsu: Starch Syrup Capture Field Jutsu!" he said as a spit out the sticky substance. He was breathing heavily now, and needed to go. Looking back, he heard Sakura's footsteps. He almost wanted to stay and see her again, but he couldn't. Looking back he sighed and ran into the hole.

Sakura stopped. She heard footsteps and a liquid sound. She had a bad feeling about this. Instead of walking she started to run. What she saw did not please her. As usual the torch was lit. It was lit from midnight to dawn. It was meant to confuse the criminals. She looked at the hole in the wall and was surprised. Pinching the bridge of her nose she sighed, Naruto definitely lived up to his nickname. She started towards the hole but stopped.

Looking down she realized that she had fallen into a jutsu. Taking another look she realized this was Kamikuzi Imino's jutsu. Sending chakra to her feet she hovered for a second and took off through the hole, but first created a clone and sent it to one of her most faithful Jounin.

Nara Clan Woods-

The Nara clan woods hadn't changed at all since he had last been there. He wondered if Hidan was stilled buried there. Naruto landed on a branch and stopped, unable to move. He turned around and was surprised to see Shikamaru standing there.

'Hey Shikamaru!"

'Naruto never thought I'd see you again."

Shikamaru jumped up and pulled out a kunai. Of course Naruto did the same, but had no kunai. Naruto knew what was happening next. A second before Shikamaru went for the kill he released the jutsu. At this moment he flickered out of existents. Appearing on a tree far away he began to feel the fox's chakra to replenish his own. He knew it would be another twenty minutes before the foxes full amount was usable, but this was good.

"Nice try, Uzumaki." said Shikamaru appearing out of no where.

Looking to his left he saw Asuma's old knuckle kunai. He realized the technique.

"Sorry Shikamaru, but that won't work on me." he said, expanding his chakra to his feet.

Shikamaru looked down and saw the shadow receding from Naruto. He looked back up and saw Naruto gathering chakra to his palm. I wasn't normal chakra though; it was red and gave off a menacing glow.

"Demon Rasengan!" yelled Naruto throwing the sphere.

Shikamaru dodged but saw just in time that the jutsu was headed for the tree he was dodging towards. Shifting his weight at the last moment Shikamaru was able to dodge the tree, but he was unable to dodge the explosion.

Streets of Konoha-

Sakura was annoyed. She had lost Naruto's trail, and was unsure if her clone got to Shikamaru. She had a feeling something bad might have happened. Her suspicions were confirmed as a large explosion was heard. Looking at the smoke she realized it was in the direction of the Nara clan woods. She made her way towards it.

Nara Clan Woods-

Naruto got up from his place on the branch. He had been sitting there for a couple of minutes, waiting for something to happen. That's when he heard someone coming. It was Sakura.

"Naruto, what the hell did you do?" she screamed.

"Just having a little fun."

"You call this fun!?"

"Yeah what do you call it?"

"Attempted murder." Sakura said as she started making her way towards Naruto. He knew he couldn't let this go on for much longer. Noticing Shikamaru behind him he decided to let loose and give up.

"Shadow Ball Jutsu!" yelled Shikamaru, a ball of what seemed to be pure darkness forming in his had.

He threw it at Naruto and nothing seemed to happen. Suddenly Naruto shadow jumped up and engulfed him. When the shadow jumped of Naruto he was unconsciousness.

"Are you ok?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." Shikamaru replied.

'What now?"

'Now, we go on with the original plan. He'll receive the device tomorrow."

Sakura got up and left. He supposed he was supposed to bring him to the hospital. He stared at Naruto for a minute. It was hard to believe that Naruto did all that with a third of his chakra, and still gave up. Walking over to him he picked him up, and jumped away.
