"It's alright Itachi. I can take care of everything. All they are are some bugs that want to be squashed. It'll be simple." Sasuke mumbled to his older brother Itachi.
Itachi sighed. Sasuke was being too confidante in himself. "Alright. You know where to find me if you need anything." With that said, Itachi vanished.
"Okay. Itachi is gone. Kakashi is bleeding and hurt. Now everything will be a piece of cake once Naruto gets here." Sasuke chuckled. Naruto appeared as soon as Itachi vanished.
"We have Hinata-chan!" Naruto yelled to Kakashi.
Naruto, you need to learn to be more careful! Kakashi thought; however, instead he yelled: "Naruto! Run! They're after you! Run away now!"
"What?" Naruto asked finally seeing what was going on. Sasuke was standing there holding Sakura. A dead Sakura. Kakashi was hurt and everyone else was alert and ready to attack on the first sign of trouble. "Sasuke?" Naruto whispered. "What the hell have you done? You captured MY future wife and you killed Sakura? Our teammate? Our friend? What the hell is wrong with you?" Naruto was now furious and could fell the Kyuubi leaking through him, changing his nails and the color of his eyes.
"Naruto! Calm down!" Kakashi yelled but Naruto didn't hear him.
Sasuke chuckled the chuckle that Naruto hated the most. "I wasn't after Hinata. I was after you."
"What do you mean I was after you?" Naruto growled and the fox was taking more control of his body. He had the ears of the fox now.
"Naruto! Calm down!" Kakashi yelled again but Naruto didn't hear him again. Kakashi could see the ears and the arms of chakra surrounding Naruto
"Like I said, I'm after you." Sasuke sighed. "I have to spell it out for you don't I? Just like old times? Orochimaru wants the Kyuubi and so does the Akatsuki. I'm with the Akatsuki now. I know what Orochimaru is up to and so I'm helping my older brother. Now that the prep talk is out of the way, we can do this one of two ways: the easy way or the hard way."
"Which is the one where I kick your ass, Sasuke?" Naruto said growling and the body of the Kyuubi was now taking from out of red chakra.
"Uhh, no way. Okay you brought this on yourself." Sasuke said vanishing and then coming up behind Naruto and pushing his sword slowly into Naruto's throat but it wouldn't have any effect because of the chakra surrounding Naruto.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata yelled in fear. She was about to yell something else but Kakashi cut her off.
"Neji! Get Hinata out of here and get back up! Now!" Kakashi yelled and then Neji left the room with his cousin.

Tsunade was about to sit down at the table with Shizune to eat dinner but a pounding knock was heard on the front door. "What now? I thought I was never suppose to be bugged at home," Tsunade mumbled
She then got up and went to answer the door. Tsuande opened her front door and saw Neji holding his cousin in his arms unconsiness. Neji looked exhausted as well. "What…?"
"Lady Hokage, the whole thing was a set up. They captured Hinata to lure Naruto into their base. All they wanted was the Kyuubi. Sakura is…" Neji didn't have to say anymore.
"Alright, I will send out for the rest of ANBU black ops and you will lead them there." Tsunade was upset that her student was killed by her own teammate. Things were going bad and fast. First there was Hinata almost dying, then she was captured, next the machine and now this. She had to act fast.
Within minutes, several ANBU black ops were standing in front of Tsunade. "You will be lead by Hyuuga Neji to were Uzamaki Naruto is currently being attacked by Uchiha Sasuke," At the sound of that name, the mood of the ANBU changed dramatically. "You will need to proceed with caution. Move out" With that everyone was moving towards the south…

Shikaku ran forward with a battle cry. The machine knew that they were coming now. It was obvious when hundreds of ninja were running forward. Shikaku suddenly stopped. He was amazed. The machine was like a giant boat. The biggest boat he had ever seen and the only boat that he had seen travel on land. Along with the machine, there were hundreds of ninja. This isn't going to be good…
"Shikaku!" Chouza yelled. "Move!"
Shikaku then looked up and saw a couple of ninja throwing some kunai at him. He jumped out of the way and swore underneath his breath as one of the kunai hit him in his arm. He then pulled the kunai out of his arm. Shikaku went through some hand signs "Multi Shadow Clone Justu!" The ninja were suddenly in the same position as he was.
"Nice work Shikaku!"
"Thanks Chouza, now get moving!" Shikaku had to yell over the roar of the machine. He then looked back at the ninja. They were gone. "What the…" Suddenly something hit Shikaku in the back knocking him out and tearing his skin.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Nice work," The lead ninja said looking at the ninja from the Leaf village on the ground. "Now capture the rest."
"Right," The other ninja leapt away. The leader looked at the Leaf ninja. He was one of the several he wanted. He hoped that all or most of the council members were here at the battle. He picked up the ninja by his spiky ponytail. He bound the other ninja he had captured and picked them up with no problem.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Shikaku! No!" Inochio yelled. He had just seen his best friend since the Academy days, attacked from behind and then captured. Things were not going well for the Leaf Nins. "Chouza! Let's go!" They were going to get their best friend back.
"What's up?"
"Shikaku was captured. We're going to get him back." Inochio said simply. The best friends where off to rescue their best friend.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Perfect, everything is falling into place," The ninja said to the leader.

"Naruto!" Kiba shouted. Akamaru started barking at Sasuke. "Shut it, Akamaru!" Sorry bubby, I didn't mean to be such a jerk.
"Kiba! Cut it. Everyone, I want you alert and on your toes. You may have to kill," Kakashi said simply raising his headband. He hadn't even started the fight and he already had to use his Sharingin. "Naruto calm down. We'll get you out of here." Naruto had his whole body surrounded by charka and the second tail was soon to come out.
"You think so?" Sasuke said. He then vanished with Naruto and didn't reappear.
"Naruto!" Kakashi yelled. "Shit. We don't have Neji. Shit, we're in trouble. Kiba, can you find Naruto?"
"Yeah, I have his scent and his location."
"Alright, let's go." Gai said running after Kiba.
XXXXXXXXXX
Neji stopped fifty feet from the hideout. Something wasn't right. He couldn't find anyone. "Commander."
"Yes Neji, what's wrong?" The Commander asked Neji. He had seen Neji when he was Genin and even watched him grow in ranks. He had never seen him like this except when something was wrong.
"No one's there."
"What…?"
"Like I said, no one's there. Everyone left."
"What! Can you find them?" The Commander whispered. This was not good. If the Akashi had Naruto and could control the Kyuubi inside of him, nothing would end good…
"I know where Kakashi and the rest of the team are but Naruto and Sasuke are some where fighting currently…or…wait…there too far away for me to tell anything. Sorry," Neji said with his eyes closed and the sound of regret in his voice.
"It's alright. You have done very well. Now lead us to Kakashi and his team." The Commander said standing up and going to his troops.
"Alright." Neji whispered to himself. He had been going non-stop since Kiba and he had seen the machine. Neji was so tired and he was running low on chakra.
XXXXXXXXXX
The two of them suddenly appeared in an area with some trees and a deep river. Naruto was no longer help up against Sasuke. He was standing alone on the bank of the river. Naruto could hear someone faintly talking but nothing else.
The faint talking grew louder and louder. Naruto heard a swoosh of a sword and spun around too late. The edge of the blade had sliced his shoulder. Naruto gripped his shoulder. "Sasuke…" Naruto growled. The second tail had almost emerged and for some reason, the charka surrounding his shoulder had not protected him… "Sasuke! Why are you doing this? You don't need to do this!" Naruto yelled angrily.
Naruto turned around and was stabbed in the same shoulder. Again, the charka had not protected him. "Ha ha. I never thought the great Uzamaki Naruto would be bleeding and in pain. Every time I see you fighting you are always winning no matter the fight even when you fought me. Pathetic." Sasuke the paused and answered his question. "I'm doing this because if I capture you, I'll earn my brothers respect. That's what matters to me right now, Itachi's respect…"
Naruto was now furious. "This is all about gaining respect! I can't believe you! All you wanted was more power to kill Itachi and now you want his respect?" He charged at Sasuke so fast that the blow knocked him in to the river. "I can't believe you!" Nothing was going well for either of them. Naruto was stabbed twice and Sasuke was currently under water.
In the water, Sasuke cast the newest Justu in his pocket. While Naruto was also getting ready for his next attack as well. Sasuke jumped out of the water panting. Then he jumped into the air Naruto then followed Sasuke's lead. The two of them collided several times in the air but neither of their justu's hit either of them.
It would have to go to hand-to-hand combat. Shit, if it goes to hand-to-hand, I'll lose no matter what! Naruto thought angrily.
At the same time, Sasuke was thinking of the same thing. Awesome, let's go hand-to-hand. Sasuke thought with a smirk on his face. He just stood there. Waiting for Naruto to come and attack him first.
"Sasuke, let's stop," Naruto said standing with his palms of his hands in the air.
"What? The Kyuubi wants to stop a fight? I can't believe my ears!" Sasuke said mocking Naruto.
"This isn't getting us anywhere! We need to stop now! One of us is going to die here if we don't stop!" Naruto yelled at the traitor: of their village, of their friendship, and of their team.
"Not yet. You are the one who is going to die but only once, we extract the Kyuubi from you like we did to Gaara. You will be the one dying!" Sasuke was trying to get Naruto to start fighting again. "Come on, Naruto. I'm waiting for you."
Naruto ran forward with no thought. Sasuke was making him so mad. He wanted to earn respect from his brother, who he wanted to kill several years ago. He was furious with him also because he wanted to kill him. He couldn't believe Sasuke. He attacked Sasuke. They went into an all out spar. Both of them were getting hurt every other kick or punch or slash of a sword, kunai, or claws. Both of them were getting tired and they both wanted to win. They stepped back and preformed their jutsu.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted running forward with his Resengan. The Kyuubi had emerged his second tail and he was looking more and more like a fox.
"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled running towards Naruto with his Chidori. Sasuke had activated his curse mark and he was in his second stage as a human bird.
The two of them collided together and both were thrown into the river. Instantly, the two of them we're knocked out.
XXXXXXXXXX
Itachi stood there shaking his head. His little brother was an idiot sometimes. He didn't understand what happened but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that they had Naruto, the Nine-tailed fox host.
Or so he thought.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Let's go before he finds out." Neji whispered to the Commander. They had Naruto and Sasuke. He sent a couple of ANBU block ops to find Kakashi's team and bring them home. They all were in the trees shouting like bullets towards Konoha.
XXXXXXXXXX
Again, Tsunade was sitting down at her table, but this time was for breakfast, when there was a pounding knock on her front door. "What now...?" Tsunade mumbled angrily. She opened the door and saw a frantic Shizune at the door. "It's Naruto, they found him but he's badly hurt. We need you now."
"Alright. Tell me what happened on the way." Tsunade said closing the door behind her forgetting about breakfast.
"There's something you should know, My Lady..." Shizune said.
"What?" Tsunade asked with a look of confusion on her face. This wasn't going to be good news if Shizune was talking like that.
"It's Sasuke, Neji and the Commander found the two of them in the water of a river. Neji told me that Itachi was there after they left, luckily, they left the two of them disguised them but they are really logs. We have Sasuke here under heavy security with the ANBU black ops."
"Good. I want Naruto protected also. This isn't going to be the first time they'll try to capture him."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." The two of them then speed off into the direction of the hospital.
