To Save a Friend

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto unfortunately

Note: Hey guys! I'm back for yet another chapter of To Save a Friend! Hope you liked the last two chapters of it so far it'll only get better now as well! Also sorry for the short chapters but like I said as I get more used to writing Fanfiction the chapters will get longer. Alright for those who forgot the last chapter Tsunade sent every available ninja out to try to find Naruto. Hinata ended up finding his headband but nothing else about his whereabouts. As always I hope you enjoy Chapter 3 of To Save a Life.

After having found Naruto's headband they had checked around the area for about 10 more minutes since Sakura had insisted on it. They met up again in an open area in the woods still not finding anything of him. They went back to the village, rather discouraged, and went into the Hokage building and gave Tsunade Naruto's headband that they had found earlier while they were searching. Tsunade looked down at the headband in her hands "We will save him even if we have to go through the other villages to find him. Madara will not use him for any of his deeds regarding the Akatsuki." Everyone around her shook their head in understanding and left a bit later. It was close to dark when they had returned to the Hokage building so they couldn't search for him anymore. They all parted their ways, all of them going back to their houses. Sakura was walking back to her house and before she entered it she looked out into the clear night sky and whispered, "Naruto where are you?" her response was silence and she turned on her heel and walked into her house.

-With Madara and Naruto-

At the time when Sakura, Kakashi, Hinata, and Jiraiya had found Naruto's headband Madara had been standing outside where him and Naruto were staying at, more like imprisoned for Naruto however. He was looking down at them from where the Akatsuki's most recent base was at, not too far from where they had found Naruto's headband at the moment, and was making sure that they wouldn't come too close to the base. He had previously covered his chakra so that they wouldn't sense his chakra and had put something on Naruto to block out his chakra as well from being sensed by the ninja. As he was thinking this he heard a yell coming from where they were at knowing that it was in fact Sakura, one of Naruto's team mates, and smirked at the fact that they didn't know what had happened to their dear friend. He walked back into the base, knowing that Naruto had heard the scream since now he was trying to break out from where he was being held at. He looked over at Naruto and began a conversation with him knowing that Naruto wouldn't necessarily join in on it willingly.

"Too bad your friends didn't decide to widen their search or else they might've actually found this cave. It's better for me that way anyway since I would've killed them had they trespassed in here." As soon as Naruto heard this, his eyes got wide, knowing that if his friends would find him they would have to fight Madara in the end to try to rescue him. "You even lay a hand on my friends and you'll be dead on the ground before you can even use a jutsu on them!" Madara seemed to just chuckle at hearing Naruto's threat at him. "Throwing threats at me won't save you at all Naruto. Be lucky I decided not to go out there and kill them for searching for you from the very beginning." Naruto just seemed to glare at him as he heard what Madara had just said to him.

Madara just continued on talking, seeing that Naruto wasn't going to reply to him anyway. "I didn't come here to take the Nine Tails from you as it is otherwise you would see the rest of the Akatsuki members here. I captured you in the first place to see if you'd help me somehow." At this Naruto stared at him with a dumbfounded look. "If you honestly think that I'll ever help you then you got another thing coming because I'd rather die than help you further your plans." Madara just looked at him calmly, not showing any emotion whatsoever to Naruto's answer, and sighed. "Well you have two choices with this. One, you willingly help me or two, I'll force you to help me. It's your choice. You have until tomorrow to make up your decision." As soon as he said this he walked away from Naruto going into one of the room that was kept in the Akatsuki base that they were staying at.

And there's where I'll stop for chapter 3! Tell me what you think of this chapter by reviewing or pming me! I'm not sure how long this fanfic will be at the moment.
