Burn out Bright

Chapter 2


6 years. It had been 6 years since he left his home, betrayed his village, and almost… killed... his most precious person, all for power. He didn't regret leaving his home or betraying Konoha, but he did regret what he did to his friend. No friend wasn't a strong enough word. The blond wasn't like a brother because well, the word 'brother' had lost all meaning to him. Naruto was like his other half. The light to his darkness, the sun to his moon. One couldn't not properly survive without the other. Naruto was his life partner, being miles away from the blond had taught him that. He could feel a pull to the blond fox vessel. A deep seeded longing that drove him crazy when he was unable to see, hold, and touch the other. Every time Naruto would find him it was all he could do not to run over and embrace the younger teen. To touch him, caress him, claim him, and watch the way the other's body would writhe in the pleasure the raven was giving him.

The raven shook his head free of those images. He would indulge in them at a later time, but for now he had to be aware. He had spent those years getting stronger so that he could kill his brother. Finally, 6 six after his quest for power began, he was close to achieving his goal. He had heard of an ancient weapon of great power, power enough to destroy Itachi. That is where they are heading now.

The raven had learned of this weapon through bedtime stories and rumors that he never believed. It wasn't until recently that he had actually found out the children's story was more than a story. He started to research it as he traveled with the other members of Hebi. It was only just recently that they received information of the weapons possible location. Unfortunately Hebi wasn't the only group to know of this location. Suigetsu been a little too loud about the discovery and it attracted a certain white haired sennin's attention. Team Hebi got away from the Toad sage fairly easily but thanks to him all of Konoha probably knows of the weapons location.

Thinking of Konoha always led him to think of a certain blonde haired shinobi. He mentally sighed.

'When this is all over, when my clan has been avenged, I will claim you as my own, Naruto.'

Once again the raven had to suppress the images resurfacing in his mind.

It didn't work.

He mentally sighed again. It was already dark out so they might as well set up camp. This would also mean he could take care of his little problem.

"We will camp here." the raven said curtly.

Nodding the others procieded to set up the sleeping area and start a campfire. While the rest of Hebi was setting up camp the Uchiha left to a more scheduled place to take care of his little problem.

"Che, for a guy who usually acts asexual he sure masturbates a lot." Suigetsu stated with a smirk.

*Whack*

"Ouch what was that for?" Suigetsu asked Karin who just thrown a large piece of wood at him.

"The wood was originally for the fire, but it's good for hitting you with too." she replied coolly.

"That's not what I meant!" He growled.

"I hit you because you were being crude!" she snapped back.

"Well it's true! It's like he's a nympho at heart or something!"

"No, he just has the hottest for his old teammate!" she replied.

"Well his teammate is not here so why is he jerking off like a horny bunny on steroids?!"

A red eyebrow began to twitch. "You idiot! It's your fault. If you had been quieter when we learned about the location of the weapon, that old white haired prev wouldn't have found out. Sasuke knows that he will report back to Konoha, tell the Hokage and she will send a team to invest investigate!" she yelled.

"Oh…well… he's still a moody, horny bastard."

"Grrrrrr!"

The yelling match continued as Jugo just shook his head. It was obvious they had a thing for each other, they just wouldn't admit it. He just sighed went back to setting up the bedrolls.

About 5 minutes away from Team Hebi's campsite moans could be heard. A dark figure stood leaning one hand against a tree while the other pumped his straining erection.

Dapples of pale moonlight fell across equally pale skin. Raven locks blended with the dark forest. His head thrown back and his usually emotionless face was contorted in pleasure. On the raven's lips was one name.

"Nn..aru..too uhhnn..."

His elegant pale fingers were rapped tightly around his erect flesh. He pumped himself while imagining it was the tight, velvet heat of his old teammates back side. A moan escaped his lips.

"Nnhh."

He started to pump himself faster as thought of a lust-hazed blonde came to mind. The blue-eyed kitsune would beg for it harder, faster, deeper.

"Kuso, Narutooo."

The heat was building in side him as his release drew near.

A little more.

The onyx-eyed Uchiha imagined that blonde's face in contorted in pleasure as the raven made him orgasm. It was almost like he could here the blondes voice screaming his name while cuming. That was all it took for him to climax releasing his load on the tree he had used to brace himself.

Sasuke lowered himself to the ground and lay back on the grass. He stared up at the full moon in the sky, as he came down from his orgasmic high.

'That was the hardest I've cum yet.' He sighed. Tomorrow Team Hebi would arrive at the weapon's location. He took a deep breath and let his thoughts drift off to the blond responsible for his orgasm.

In another part of the forest far away from Team Hebi, lay the panting form of the blonde still recovering from the orgasm that had ripped through him only moments earlier.

"That…*pant*… was the strongest… *pant*… orgasm yet." he whispered to himself.

He was about 10 minutes away his camp. He had come out here after setting up with Sakura and Kakashi.

Earlier he had felt so aroused. Thoughts of Sasuke kissing, licking and touching him ran through his mind relentlessly to the point that he might have cum in his pants. He had to excuse himself from his team to take care of his not so little problem.

He had jerked off to Sasuke before, but this time it felt different. It was stronger.

"So real…" he whispered.

It was almost like the raven was right there doing all those things to him. Strangely enough he even felt his ass twitch a little as if some invisible source had been inside him. He swore that he heard someone moan his name as he came.

The blond sighed from his spot lying on the grass. It had been four days since they left Konoha and they would be at the weapon's location tomorrow. He stared at the full moon in the star speckled sky and for some reason he felt a little closer to his friend.

"Sasuke."

The sun was high in the sky, as the Konoha nins approached their destination in the rock country. They had started out early this morning just after the sun rose and had made good time reaching the area the weapon was suppose to be located in.

The part of rock country they traveled through was very mountainous and they yet again stood before another great mountain. Mount Aso, one of the largest and most sacred mountain in the whole rock country. The mountain was also a still active volcano though an eruption hadn't happened for over 4 year. It was also vest in length stretching 18 km east to west and about 25 km north to south. The mountain at its highest point is 1592 m, but luckily for them they would not need to climb the whole way.

What was most unique about this Mountain compared to the rest was it had a large caldera in it. A caldera is a volcanic feature formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. A collapse is triggered when the empty of the magma chamber beneath the volcano cannot support the weight of the mountain above it. It collapses in a roughly circular shape. This sacred and ancient mountain has an extremely large caldera. So large that the rock countries capital city is located in it. The village is safely tucked away in case of future volcanic eruptions and also has a natural defense if any other villages were to attack.

The legend as to why Mount Aso is considered sacred has been passed down through generation of rock villagers. It is believed that in ancient time the mountain was constantly erupting destroying homes, crops and lives. War was also upon the land. There was a small village on the side of the volcano that had been there since time began. The villagers suffered the volcano's wrath as well as the armies that attacked the poor defenseless village. The villagers had no choice but to stay in their home and pray that they maybe spared another day. It was on the night after the full moon that their prayers were answered. A being cloaked in light descended from the sky into the raging magma. The being continued deeper still into an empty magma chamber underneath. The whole mountain radiated with blinding light and power. The earth shook as the mountain collapsed in on itself creating the great caldera. The small village was pulled into the caldera as it form, but miraculously it remained in tacked. What once was a small defenseless village sitting on the side of a barren mountain, became the rock countries capital. For the poor village grew. It was protected from the warring armies by the caldera's rock walls and became wealthy because of the furtive soil and precious rocks and minerals the cooled magma produced. The villagers praised the being that saved their village. It was said that the being escaped the crushing mountain through a series of tunnels that lead into a cave on the side of the mountain. This cave became the most sacred spot on the whole mountain. A large wooden torri stands in front of the cave marking it as a holy place. No one has seen the being since, but its power still radiates through the mountain quenching the volcano's rage and protecting the village within. This is where the rumors of the ancient weapon came from.

It was now that team 7 found themselves standing before the cave marked by the great wooden torri.

"Wow this place is so beautiful." Sakura commented while her eyes scanned the lush greenery that surrounded the entrance.

"Ya." The blonde agreed.

"Thou I do enjoying smelling the rose every once and awhile, I would suggest we head inside." Kakashi commented.

A sly grin passed over the blond nins face as he spoke. "Oi, Kakashi-sensei is that why your always late because your picking daisies?"

Sakura let out a little giggle at the mental image of Kakashi picking flowers and skipping through a field.

"Actually, Naruto, the reason I'm late all the time is not because I'm picking daisies. " Kakashi spoke.

Both teens turned to their sensei hoping they were about to learn the reason he was always late. His eye turned upwards happily seeing he had his students' undivided attention.

"I much prefer to pick tulips I think they smell much nicer."

Both teens fell over once again at the sensei odd answer.

"I thought he was being serious for once. I don't think we'll ever find out Kakashi's reasons." Sakura groaned while her eyebrow twitched.

"Yeah, I just think his lazy." Naruto whispered to Sakura. The two teens laughed.

"What was that Naruto? I couldn't quite hear you." Kakashi asked knowing exactly what the blond said.

"Haha. Nothing Kakashi-sensei." The blue-eyed ninja scratched the back of his head nervously. "Well why are we just standing around, let's go! Yosh!" and like a shot the blond took off running into the cave.

Sakura just sighed then chased after him, followed by Kakashi as he lazily read his book.

The cave was filled with stalagmites and stalactites as the three continued deeper into the cave. The further they got from the entrance the less outside light there was. Luckily there were incandescent mushrooms all over the walls of the cave providing a dim glow. Not that it bothered the blond, because with the Kyubi's heightened senses he could see in the dark almost as well as in the light. There were many tunnels that seemed to go in every direction.

"Umm so which tunnel should we choose?" asked Sakura. "It could be anyone of them."

"True." Kakashi replied.

"I'll just use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and have my clones search out the right tunnel." Naruto said as he started making hand signs.

"Smart thinking Naruto." Sakura praised.

There was a small poofing noise and when the smoke cleared there was a Naruto copy for each tunnel.

"Yosh! Lets do this." and the clones each ran into a tunnel.

"I guess we'll have to just wait." Sakura said.

"Yeah." The blond turned to stare at his sensei, who was still reading his porn book even if the light was so dim. "Can you even read that with so little light?"

"Yes."

"No way! How can you even see the words on the page?"

"Well I could always just use my Sharingan, but I prefer just to use the power of imagination."

The both teen felt their eyebrows twitch.

"I don't think the power of imagination was suppose to be for perverted things." Sakura grumbled quietly.

The blond was just about to yell at his sensei when he got information back from one of his clones. "Ouch." he mumbled quietly as he rubbed his head then continued to speak. "I found the right tunnel it's over here." The blond yelled as he ran to one of the tunnels. Naruto decided just to let his other clones explore the other cave tunnels some more.

It wasn't long before the small tunnel opened into what seemed like a perfectly square room. It was also a dead end.

"Ah, this is a weird room." the blond stated.

"Yeah, what are the chances that a cave would have walls set perfectly at 90 degrees? Naruto I thought you said your clone found the right direction?" Sakura said slightly annoyed that they wasted their time walking into a dead end.

The blonde just smirked. "This is the right way Sakura-Chan, it isn't a dead end. Nope, to someone with my great intelligence I realized there had to be trick to this room. A hidden door or something." and with that said, the blond strutted up to seemingly smooth wall on the left and pushed. A square appeared on the wall. It was a stone button. The button was so perfectly level with cave wall that it made it seem like the wall was all one piece. Where the blue-eyed teen pushed it suddenly sunk into the wall itself. There was a small clicking noise before the cave wall in front of them spun around. (Kind of like a revolving glass door. You push it and it spins in a circle).

"Wow, uhh…" Sakura was speechless how did Naruto figure something so complicated out. She knew he was smart but this was a riddle that even Shikamaru would have had to spend a good chunk of time figuring out. She was impressed.

"Naruto."

The blonde turned to look at there sensei.

"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei?"

"Your clone tripped and fell on the button by accident, didn't he?" asked the sliver haired nin, already knowing the answer.

The blond reached up and scratched the back of his head. "Ahh…well… kind of but…"

"NARUTO!!!" Came the horrifying howl of the blonde's fuming pink haired teammate. "You made me believe that you figured this out using your brain! You probably just whacked your fat head off the wall when you tripped and hit the button!"

A fist collided with the blonde's head.

"Ouch! Sakura-chan. Don't you think my head has had enough trauma for one day?" The blond whined.

Kakashi just watched the scene before him with an amused eye. 'I'm glad that you are able to forget about Sasuke even for a little while, Naruto. It's nice seeing you act like your old self.' The Jonin smiled beneath his mask. 'I think it's time I save Naruto's head from anymore beatings.'

"Oi, Sakura." The sliver haired nin called out.

"Yes Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura asked in an innocent voice as she stood menacingly over a cowering blond.

"You always did ask him to use his head more. Beside we still need to collect the weapon and complete the mission. So don't kill him… yet." the Jonin responded in a bored manner.

"Alright, Kakashi-sensei." Sounding almost disappointed that she couldn't swat the blond anymore.

"Naruto, please push the button again." their sensei asked.

"Huh? Sure." The blond said jumping up smiling as he went back to push the button again.

Sakura smiled to herself. 'Naruto that is one thing I always loved about you, you never let anything get you down. You always smile and continue with life or at least you do with everything but Sasuke.' She mentally sighed to herself 'I promise I will protect you. You are like a brother to me, Naruto.'

Sakura and Kakashi stood in front of the revolving wall waiting for the blond to push the button. Once he did he ran over to them. There was a clicking noise and again the wall rotated, this time taking them with it. On the other side of the wall it was dark. Sudden heat enveloped them along with a strong power. There were no incandescent mushrooms on this side it seemed, but there was little light at the end of the tunnel. Carefully walking forward they exited the tunnel only to enter another cave. The heat in this cave was immense.

"Whoa." was the only thing that came out of the blonde's mouth as all three stared in wonder at the sight before them.

The cavern was huge. The tunnel they came out of was about half way up the cave wall. At the bottom was a lake of magma that flowed in a circle around a huge stone island in the middle. Joining the tunnel to the tall island was a high-rise bridge, keeping any who walked on it away from the immense heat and magma below. To the far back left hand corner of the cavern there was a huge waterfall of magma that seemed to flow out from the ceiling.

"No wonder it was so flipping hot in here." The blond said in amazement.

"This is so beautiful. Hey look on that island, it looks like there's a small shrine or something." said Sakura.

"Lets check it out." The blond said as they started walking across the tall stone bridge.

"It's sooooo hot." the blond whined.

"It would be hotter if you fell in, so keep walking or I'll push you in myself." The pink hair nin threatened.

"Sakura-chan your scary. " Naruto grumbled under his breath.

"What was that?" she growled.

"Nothing, hahaha" The blond laughed nervously.

They reached the other side and walked up to the shrine each feeling the strange power get stronger the closer they were to it. They slid the door of the shrine open and gasped at what lay inside.

On a small stone stand in the middle of the shrine lay a glowing orb no bigger than a baseball. It was from this orb that the power was radiating.

"So I guess that's the weapon." Sakura said.

"It would seem so." Kakashi responded.

Naruto walked up to the orb and reached out to take it, but he stopped. One of his clones returned to him carrying with it all its memories. His eyes widened as he turn to look at the others.

"Naruto are you alright?" Sakura asked with concern.

"Hebi… they're here…Sasuke just entered the cave."

A/N: Well there's another chapter done. I hoped you liked it. I got a lot of the info about Mount Aso and calderas from 'Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia'. Most of the info is true, I might have stretched the truth a little on some parts. Just to make things clearer, I made up the whole legend thing. There is a city inside of the real Mount aso's caldera but it was built in there after the caldera was formed. It wasn't pulled in. I don't know if that Mountain is truly considered sacred or not. Yeah I think that's about all.

Please review
