A/N: I hope you can forgive me, but I couldn't do the entire battle between Naruto and Sasuke, only the Key parts. And as for 2 tails...I believe Sasuke was kinda holding back his demon form a bit, beause he still dominated, even when Naruto was in 1 tail. So with 2 tails, it was a bit more even. Outcome will still be the same though
Naruto: Legend of the Ghost Rider Chapter 17: Mission failed
A lot had happened in a few hours. First, they were ambushed 2 more times, and both times, they had another teammate fight off against another of the Sound 4, until Naruto came across a being who was more powerful then then Sound 4, who also worked for Orochimaru. His name, was Kinminmaro. But Lee and Gaara showed up.
And then, IT happened. Sasuke came out of the barrel he was contained in, and he was now more like a demon.
They then found themselves at a place called 'Valley at the End'. The 2 began a massive struggle.
"C'mon Naruto. Show me that power of yours. Show me your true strength" Sasuke taunted. He would regret it, as Naruto let 2 chakra tails out. Sasuke was powerful enough to overcome them in his demon form. But he wasn't in there yet.
"I promised Sakura nee-chan that I would try to bring you back. You will return to Konoha" Naruto said, in a demonic tone. Sasuke smirked, powering up to his level 2 curse form.
"Word of Advice Naruto. Don't let your attachments get in the way. They make you weak" Sasuke said. The 2 began an all out power war, which neither won. They were back at square one.
"As I said. Our attachments make us weak. I have to sever them all, to become stronger" Sasuke said. He was punched back by Naruto.
"And where does this leave us then. I thought I was like a brother to you. Do you think of it as NOTHING!!!!!" Naruto demanded. Sasuke did something he wasn't proud of, even in his dark frame of mind. He sacked Naruto. Naruto fell over in pain for a second, before Kyuubi managed to heal that area.
"No, your bond will be the hardest, yet most rewarding. Let me in on a secret of the Uchihas. When we kill our best friends, we gain the ultimate power, in the Mengekyou Sharingan" Sasuke said. Naruto knew about that. He then smirked.
"I should have known. No matter. I will defeat you Sasuke. Let's finish this" Naruto said, charing up a Rasengan. Sasuke charged up a dark Chiordi. They stared into each other's red eyes, filled with remorse, hatred, friendship, and determination.
They ran at each other. They were going to collide. Their attacks did collide with each other.
"Unless you transform, you won't win" Sasuke said. Their attacks slipped. Naruto only aimed at the bandanna, while Sasuke aimed for in the middle of Naruto's chest. The Dark Chiordi with through. Naruto fell down. He got up, screaming in pain.
"What am I doing? I won't kill you Naruto. I'll gain the Mengekyou another way. I won't be like him. NEVER!!!!!!" Sasuke said, before Running off. Naruto spat up a lot of blood.
'Regardless of being the rider or not, this was going to happen. It is time I gave you another tail. But be warned, this won't heal you completely, but you'll survive' Kyuubi said. Naruto felt an intense amount of pain through his body. He felt the wound close and heal itself, but he couldn't get the blood back. He was still in critical condition. He felt the 3rd tail available for him, before he passed out.
He would wake up many days later. He saw Sakura there, as well as Hinata.
"Sakura I'm sorry" He said. Sakura shook her head.
"Don't worry. I'm sad, yes, but you did what you could. It wasn't enough this time. But there will be more opportunities. Anyways...I better leave" Sakura said. She left, leavign the weak and wounded Naruto, to be with his girlfriend.
"Naruto-kun" she quietly said. Naruto tried to get up, but couldn't. The pain in his chest was far to great.
"Hinata-chan. I don't know what Id do without you" He said. She blushed at that. He sighed.
"Your chest was badly wounded. It's fully healed now, but the pain will still be there for a while. Each day though, it will dissipate more" Hinata said. Naruto smiled.
"That's good to know. I just feel really bad. Yet I know this was going to happen. I had a feeling. It seems as if Team 7 is meant to be trained by all the Sanin. Kyuubi told me. He also told me that after 2.5 years, before Orochimaru can mind transfer, is when I strike" Naruto said. Hinata understood. Shikimaru then came in
"Yo. Hinata. Do you mind if I talk to Naruto for a minute" Shikimaru lazily, yet politely asked. Hinata understood they needed to debrief about the mission, so she left. Shikimaru pulled up a chiar. Naruto noticed that Shikimaru had a broken finger.
"Lucky" Naruto said. Shikimaru sighed.
"We were really over our heads in this one Naruto. We nearly lost Neji and Chouji. The Sand siblings saved me, Lee, and Kiba from the same fate. But I can't help but ask to be in that same state. I feel so...terrible. Especially since there was a possibility that I was going to lose 3 friends. It would have been hard for me to deal with you and Neji being gone. You with the ability to cheer anyone up, sacrificing your own happiness, which you shouldn't do, and Neji's wise words. But for me..." Shikimaru said. He was crying a bit. Naruto chuckled.
"I know that you're close with Chouji. No more is to be said. You don't have to worry about me dying, for it will take a lot more then that to kill me. But yes. I understand where you're coming from. But we're better then before. We're all stabilized, right?" Naruto asked. Shikimaru nodded.
"Anyways. I'm going. I just wanted to check up on you. But...seing you like this...I'm sorry. I normally don't cry. It's to troublesome" Shikimaru said, with a slight bit of humor added on. Once He left, Gaara came in. He then sat down.
"Hey" Naruto said. Gaara smiled.
"At least you're gonna get better now. I had also overheard something. It would seem Jiraya-Sanin-sama is planning on taking you on a 2 year trip around the Shinobi nations, to help you get stronger. Well first hing, I congratulate you on your promotion, and 2nd, make sure to drop in at Suna every once in a while" Gaara said. Naruto nodded
He was back in the Hyuuga compound the next day, recovering.. Jiraya had come.
"Jirya-sensei. I know what you're planning. You want me to take a 2 year trip with you, to increase my skills. Well, I'll gladly do so. No offense Hiashi" Naruto said. Hiashi sighed, and nodded.
"Okay. I haven't stopped you from making your own choices, and I don't plan to now. Just 2 things. 1, you aren't leaving until you're no less then 100, and 2, you will come back in one piece" Hiashi said. Naruto nodded. He was currently bound by a wheelchair.
Later, he had managed to find himself in Neji's cave. Well, he and Neji had come there. Neji had taught Naruto to play guitar a bit, as he also had a guitar.
"I think I speak for everyone, when I say be careful" Neji said. Naruto smirked.
"You're lucky you're able to move around. I hate being so immobile" Naruto said. Both eh and Neji shared a good laugh at that comment.
