Review after reading okay?
Chapter 17: Sasuke's resolve
"Sasuke…everyone…" Sakura muttered "Sorry…." And with that everything went black...
"Sakura!" Sasuke yelled. He tried his best to ran towards her "Damn..." he muttered, his beaten body was preventing him to run faster towards Sakura "Hell! Those bastards are gonna pay!" Unconsciously tears fell down from his eyes.. "Sakura.."
Temari, Hinata, Ten Ten and Ino ran past him reaching Sakura first, followed by their other friends including Pao. He was the last to arrive to Sakura.
"So much for opening that cave" Aki muttered
"Aki-sama!" one of his men went up to him
"What is it?" He asked quite annoyed "This better be good"
"The cave, it's open! Some how that girl's Chakra reached the cave and have opened it" He explained
Every one looked at the ninja.
"What did you just said?!" Aki yelled
"The cave is open sir" The ninja repeated
Aki laughed "Yes, yes... now let us leave those garbage, we do not need them any more" He said as he walked towards the cave.
"You bastard!" Gaara yelled. He released his sands and blocked the path way. "You all are gonna pay for this"
"We won't forgive you!" Neji glared at them. "Byakugan!" he shouted as he went to his fighting stance.
"Both of you don't move a muscle!" Sasuke slowly stood up
"Sasuke-teme you're all wounded up…"
"Keh… some how my body can't feel any pain at all, Naruto, this is my fight… I'm the reason Sakura was easily captured by these guys. I'm the one responsible for this…" he walked in front of Gaara and Neji
"Fine... but I won't release that wall" Gaara said walking back to where Sakura is
"Thanks.." Sasuke muttered before looking at Neji.
Neji sighed "just don't get your self killed" He replied as he deactivated his byakugan.
"Aa..." He looked back to the enemies as he activated his sharingan "You'll all gonna regret what you did to Sakura..."
In a flash Sasuke was behind one of the ninjas. He slashed the ninja's neck and disappeared as the guy was about to fall.
Sasuke once again appeared to another one and like the other, he slashed the ninja. One by one the ninja's around them were quickly defeated by Sasuke.
"Whoa…Sasuke's really something, how he can manage to beat all those goons quickly?" Ino muttered as she looks back at Sakura "He really loves you…" she smiled bitterly
"Yeah... he really does…" Ten Ten added.
Sasuke turned his head to face Jiro, who has a violent look on his face. "You're turn.." Sasuke said as he pulled out a kunai and threw it at him. Jiro easily dodged the kunai but was caught by Sasuke's kick. He was thrown away and crashed into the sand wall.
Jiro stood up and wiped the blood on his face "Bastard…" he charged towards Sasuke fighting him with pure taijutsu.
He kicked Sasuke which was easily blocked by one hand. Sasuke punched him straight at the face.
Jiro glared at Sasuke, he noticed that there was black seal that slowly covering Sasuke's face… "What the…"
"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled "The curse seal!"
"Oh no…the curse seal is over powering Sasuke" muttered Ten Ten
"This is bad…" Shikamaru stated "In this rate, even Sasuke beats the hell out of these people he won't stop… he'll have to beat us too"
"We have to stop him!" the green beast of Konoha stepped infront
"We can't… Sasuke's already at his last level of the curse seal" Neji stated as he pointed the transformed form of Sasuke.
Jiro spitted blood "You freakin' bastard"
"keh.. you'll pay for what you did to Sakura" The raven headed ninja.
Sasuke performed hand seals. "Chidori!" he said as black electricity appeared on his right hand
"The black chidori, the one he used against me back then…" Naruto said remembering the day Sasuke left Konoha.
While Sasuke continued to beat Jiro, Sai appeared beside Naruto.
"Yo…"
"Sai!" every one yelped
"So, what happened here?" he asked quite confused "The Hokage suddenly sent me here because of some reason…"
"Where were you?" Ino stood up "we haven't seen you for months! You didn't even attended Sakura's party and My wedding! Wait what! Tsunade-sama knows?"
"I was on a long term mission. I just arrived yesterday, and yes, The Hokage knows" he looked at the scene "Whoa, is that the traitor? When did he return?"
"Enough chitchat… we have to find a way to stop Sasuke…" Shikamaru gathered all of them
"But, as far as we know there is nothing that can stop Sasuke now…"
"There is something…" Sai assumed
"What?"
"Well, when I was assigned in team seven I secretly learned a lot of things about the team before."
"You snooped on us!" Naruto almost yelled
"No I didn't! I asked around!" Sai replied "I learned about that Forest of death thing scene"
"Yeah! That's when we first saw Sasuke being taken over by that seal!" Chouji said while munching on some chips..
"As far as I know, the hag did something so Sasuke returned to him self…"
"You mean Sakura-chan can stop him?" Naruto asked the obvious
"Yeah, yeah the hag…"
"How could we forget?!" Shikamaru slapped himself "Okay, Ino find a way to cure Sakura. The others, we have to formulate a plan how to some how restrain Sasuke before Sakura wakes up."
"Okay!"
Ino went straight into examining Sakura. Pao who still can't understand a thing went beside her.
"Ino, would you care to explain what is happening to Sasuke and Sakura?"
"What's happening to Sasuke now is because of the cursed seal that Orochimaru placed on him when we were twelve. I don't know much about it, but all I know that Sasuke and Naruto were both unconscious after a fight with him. Sakura were the only one who was taking care of them since it was a team test and other teams shouldn't interfere. But some sound ninjas attacked them; Sakura was still not that strong at that time…" She paused for a while to check Sakura's pulse
"So she got badly beaten" Ino smiled sullenly as she moved the hair that was covering Sakura's face "Rock lee and our team tried to help but we were quite useless. Sakura cut her hair to release herself from the sound nin's grasp. She started attacking all her might and was about to be killed when Sasuke woke up. He had incredible power at that time which came from the seal. The first thing he said was 'Who did that to you Sakura? Who?'. Of course the foolish sound nin admitted it thinking he can beat Sasuke. He got beaten and was about to break every bone of his body when Sakura hugged Sasuke crying telling him to stop."
She laughed sulkily "Like magic Sasuke stopped and the curse subsided. Maybe that could happen again…We know only Sakura can snapped Sasuke back to life…"
Pao nodded, he touched her sister's pale face "We need you now…"
--------
"We should go one at a time so we can buy more time before Sakura wakes up" Neji suggested.
"Then who should go first?"
"I should… Sasuke is my best friend…" Naruto stood up "It's my duty to stop him for Sakura-chan" He started to walk
"No you don't!" Sai grabbed Naruto's arm
"What!" Naruto glared at Sai
"I should do it…"
"You? But you don't know anything about Sasuke? You barely even met him!" Naruto yelled
"That's exactly the point Dickhead" He released Naruto "Of all the people here I'm the one who is less familiar with him, so I wont even go easy with him. You dickhead might feel sorrow or even guilt for the Hag there is you hurt the traitor. I on the other hand won't do that, I won't even held back which would take more time." Sai smirked
"What makes you sure?" Naruto grabbed Sai "I will do any thing to kick Sasuke back to reality!"
"What made me sure?" He pointed Naruto's face "Your stupid face shows it all…"
"Wha-What?" Naruto freed Sai with his grip
"Dick head, go figure it out…" Sai turned to leave, he waved his hand towards the others "I'll give the Traitor a minute before I attack. You can start planning who's next"
The others just looked at them selves and nodded. Naruto sat back at the group. He frowned and cursed Sai.
--------
Jiro couldn't move a muscle now; he was leaning on the tree watching as Sasuke beat his master "Kuso…" The chidori barely hit him but it made a great damage to his internal organ. If ever he hadn't dodged in time he would have died
"Aki-sama!" he yelled
Sasuke who was currently punching the hell out of Aki tuned to him "Keh.. You're still alive? Don't worry, when I'm finished with this one you'll be joining him in hell" he smirked
Sasuke stood up, he performed some seals "Katon blazing fireball technique!"
Fireball surrounded Aki
"Ahh!"
Fire started to burn every part of Aki's body
"Aki-sama!"
Jiro tried to run to his master, yet all he can do was to crawl.
"Pathetic" Sasuke muttered, "You are so pathetic, why are you risking your useless life for that good for nothing Aki?" He continued to walk towards Jiro
"It's none of your business bastard!" Jiro spitted blood on Sasuke's face
"Why you little.." Sasuke wiped the blood off his face. "Then maybe you should just watch how your precious Aki will die" Sasuke laughed dryly
Jiro watched as the fire devour Aki's body.
"No… Aki-sama"
Sasuke kicked him "You are so wretched" He smirked
"Oi, Traitor!" Sai yelled "Why don't you stop beating those freaks and try me!"
Sasuke turned to Sai "Why not? I always wanted to beat the crap out of you"
"Wait, before we start" Sai flipped a kunai "I wanna make a bet"
"A bet?"
"Yeah, Who ever wins gets Sakura" Sai stated smirking
"What!" Sasuke yelled, together with the other guys
"Oi! Sai that's not fair! If that's the case then I'll be in that fight too!" Gaara shouted
"Gaara!?"
"What?! You know I always loved Sakura" Gaara stated
"He's just provoking him!" Temari whispered to him
"Provoking? Come on, look at that guy's eyes. He's dead serious"
"Gaara's right, looks like Sai really wants to get Sakura" Shikamaru confirmed
"So what is it? You want to fight me for Sakura? You know even I call her a Hag, she's the most beautiful girl I have met. And I really like her, so the winner gets her" explained Sai
"I was wondering when will you stop" Sasuke glared at Sai "I will definitely win…"
