Chapter 8: Darkness vs. Earth!
Naruto stood in a pure white room. The room began to change to a miniature replica of the villages as they were before the blood moon. The replica reenacted the blood moon. As he watched the replica repeat time he saw the residents of Kanoha escape to the dragon temple. He was amazed as he saw Mirage destroy the wind dragon, but he was horrified as he saw his battle with Sasuke. Not by his actions, but by the power he released in his attacks. Without realizing it he was trying to eradicate Sasuke from the world. He then watched Sasuke leave with his sword. He saw two blades circulate in the air. The first was a dark blade. It had jagged blades through the side of the blade itself. Its hilt was a skull with a small bone like handle. The other was a well polished orange blade. It had a deep blue hilt with a single red crystal where the pupil of the eye would be on the dragon's eye design drawn on it. Then the room went dark. In the air above the replica he was flashes of silver and red. Then the replica burst into flames. Naruto could hear the screams of the individuals as they were burnt alive. He watch as the replica took him to Kanoha. He saw the dragoons' dead bodies trail up to two figures. One was the impaled body of the dark haired girl Naruto has grown attached to. Hinata had been run through with the dark blade. The other figure was a creature that has plagued Naruto's dreams since he gained his powers. The monstrous human held the two blades firmly in his hands. With the dark blade still in Hinata the creature used the other to stab her yet again. The creature let out an inhuman laugh as he saw the life leave Hinata's eyes. The creature wore severely damaged black armor. He had two blood red wings spread out. And finally his skin was completely engulfed in red with 9 tails waving around. At the sight of the monster version of himself killing Hinata, Naruto lashed out. He attacked himself without mercy. Alas all the damage Naruto caused was healed.
-outside-
Hinata tried nonstop to heal the quickly fading Mirage. Some sort of force from the blade Sasuke stabbed Mirage was stopping her from completely healing him. It certainly didn't help that she was so distracted by Naruto. When he left he looked hurt. She whipped sweat from her forehead. She told herself to focus or Mirage would die.
-forest near dragon temple-
Sasuke flew above laughing. He killed Naruto and Mirage! The two strongest dragoons now lay dead. Now he would he would return to his master for the next move. As he flew however he felt a presence. He barely had time to dodge Kakashi's lightning blade. Kakashi turned to face Sasuke as he landed on a nearby branch. He was wearing his Anbu clothes. On his back was the sword his father had given him. It was of course broken, but he felt that this could be his last opportunity to use it when he found out who his opponent would be. He brought only one kunai knife, the one given to him by Naruto's father and his master. He glared at Sasuke, who was trying to think of a snide remark to make. Kakashi wouldn't give him the chance. He launched another lightning blade attack on Sasuke. This time however Sasuke couldn't dodge. Kakashi's attack tore through Sasuke's left wing. Before Sasuke even reached Kakashi impaled him with his broken sword. Kakashi twisted the blade and cut through his body. Sasuke's destroyed body plummeted to the earth. Kakashi stood above the fallen Sasuke and began to walk until he saw Sasuke's wounds burn closed. Kakashi could hear Sasuke laughing.
"You surprised me master." Sasuke stated between his laughter. He stood his body completely healed. He took a big inhale through his nose.
"Oh I see," Sasuke began, "earth. But you haven't woken up yet. You'll be coming with me." With that Sasuke charged at Kakashi with both blades drawn.
-With Hinata-
Mirage was in a coma after long hours of being healed. Hinata was searching for Naruto so she could heal him. She found him in his room asleep screaming. She rushed to his side and violently shook him until he regained consciousness. His eyes looked to Hinata with Despair. He looked into her eyes and the image of the bloodied corpse of Hinata rushed into his mind. She pulled him to her and hugged him while he cried and mumbled about her being alive. (AN: I can't write romance!)
-Kakashi-
Sasuke was franticly looking for Kakashi. He had been hit by the twin blades but somehow had survived. Kakashi couldn't be allowed to join Naruto.
Kakashi ran towards Naruto. He just hoped one of the members of Naruto's group could heal.
-Hinata-
Hinata had to tear herself away from Naruto. With her own eyes burning from tears she slowly trudged back to Mirage, only to find him missing. In his place rested a note. She moved to grab it but was shocked by the sudden arrival of beaten and bloody Kakashi.
AN: I'm sorry. It's late. It's very, very late.
