"Sorry, Sasuke, I have to miss our date." Naruto told Sasuke as he prepared his weapons. Sasuke pouted while leaning against a wall and watching the blonde.
"But it's so stupid. This mission is so simple and they're sending you to do it?" Sasuke asked.
"Wow, Sasuke, you make it sound like I'm actually competent." Naruto smiled up at him
'This won't do at all. Tonight was the night I was finally going to seduce him!' Inner Sasuke cried dramatically.
"Tsk, even I know you're too good to be taking this mission. You're a jonin, Naruto. This is a chunin level mission at best." Sasuke shook his head.
"Sorry, Sasuke, Tsunade gave me this mission so I have to do it." Naruto said.
"But we had a date." Sasuke pouted. Naruto smiled and went over to him and kissed him gently.
"It's not that long. I'll be back tomorrow and we can go out tomorrow night." Naruto told him. Sasuke sighed.
"Fine." He said. It's not like he really had anything to do anyway.
"Aw, cheer up, Teme. It's just one day." Naruto smiled.
"Fine." Sasuke huffed. "I don't need you around all the time, I can survive a day without you." Naruto smiled.
"That's my big boy." He said. Sasuke rolled his eyes. "I got to go. Faster I leave, the faster I'll get back." Naruto said. He kissed Sasuke and then left. Sasuke waited at the gates for Naruto the next day but he didn't come back. The day after when Naruto didn't return Sasuke got worried.
"Tsunade-sama, Naruto hasn't returned from his mission yet." Sasuke said calmly although the worry was evident in his eyes. Tsunade frowned and looked away from Sasuke. "What do you know that you're not telling me?"
"Naruto never made it to the rendezvous point. We don't know what happened. I sent out a tracker team but nothing came up." Tsunade said.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked.
"Naruto's vanished." Tsunade said. Sasuke stared at her.
"He couldn't have just vanished, Tsunade. He's Naruto the most obvious and obnoxious ninja in the entire world. Anyone who is blind and deaf could find him. Where the hell is he?" Sasuke asked.
"We don't know." Tsunade said. "I'm having trackers scouting the area non stop and if he doesn't show up after another two days we will assume he had been kidnapped and I'll send scouting and retrieval ninjas out as well. If he is not found by the end of the week I will have a meeting to see what we can do. I promise I will keep you updated on anything." Tsunade said. Sasuke frowned and nodded. Naruto couldn't have just disappeared and even he was at least capable enough to not get kidnapped. Akatsuki had already been destroyed so there wasn't anyone really after Naruto. A few days later Tsunade received a letter.
We've got one of your shinobi. Give us one-hundred million or we will kill him.
"That much money will more than just bankrupt the entire village. We need to find him before they kill him." Tsunade said. She sent about ten teams out to find Naruto but all came back empty handed. Tsunade rotated teams to search for him every day for two weeks but nothing came up. After a month and a half Sasuke went to Tsunade.
"Let me look for him, please." Sasuke said.
"Fine, I'll get a team," Tsunade started.
"Alone." Sasuke said.
"What?" Tsunade asked.
"Because when I find them, I don't want anyone to see what I'm going to do to those guys." Sasuke said as his sharingan flashed. Tsunade bowed her head.
"Please, bring him back alive." She said.
"I will." Sasuke said before he took off. Sasuke had been thinking about it for the entire month and a half and had a fairly good idea of where Naruto was. Or at least the direction he was in. Unlike Tsunade who just sent out teams in a general three day radius, Sasuke knew that Naruto's captors had sent a bird with the message. The message was received four days after Naruto had left. Naruto hadn't made it to his rendezvous point that was about half a day away which means Naruto was taken only a few hours after leaving. So then that meant two days for the captors to travel for a bird messenger and two days for the bird to fly back to the village.
'If they did anything to him I swear I'm gonna strangle them with their insides.' Sasuke thought angrily. He headed off to where he thought Naruto would be. He tried to mentally prepare himself for whatever he found but knew that if they had hurt Naruto he would probably go off and kill them. He made it to the town with messenger birds and asked about anyone who had sent a message to Konoha. The man there shook his head.
"We get many people sending messages to many different villages. We can't keep track of them especially someone who came by a month ago." The man said. "I'm very sorry I couldn't help you."
"That's fine." Sasuke said kindly although inside he was frustrated and pissed off. He kept going. He was a few hours past the town when he felt a burst of chakra that he would have recognized anywhere. "Naruto." He said softly before running off towards there the chakra was coming from.
'That's the fox's chakra. He must be in trouble if he's resorted to using that. And it's getting more powerful by the minute.' Sasuke thought as he ran. Sasuke had thought he had mentally prepared himself for anything but this definitely wasn't what he was thinking. There was what Sasuke assumed to be Naruto. It was a red glowing figure with white eyes and four tails. It looked like the way the Kyuubi was described as in the legends. The Kyuubi sat next to a giant hole in the ground. Sasuke could smell blood coming form the hole.
"Naruto?" Sasuke asked calmly. The Kyuubi looked over at Sasuke and growled. Sasuke could feel the fury and bloodlust pouring off of this creature in suffocating waves. The Kyuubi roared at Sasuke and jumped towards him, pulling its claw back and ready to take a swipe at Sasuke. Sasuke activated his sharingan and glared at the Kyuubi. "Naruto." He said sternly. The creature froze mid leap and immediately landed on the ground to look up at Sasuke. "Naruto, calm down." He ordered as his sharingan started spinning. The Kyuubi growled but one of the tails started disappearing. Sasuke reached out and held onto Naruto's arms. When the first tail disappeared it started to look a bit more like Naruto. Naruto glared at Sasuke and gnashed his teeth and growled and swung his tails, but Sasuke kept his eye contact with Naruto and forced him to keep calming down. The chakra surrounding Naruto burned Sasuke but he kept his grip.
"Sa-" Naruto growled.
"Calm down, Naruto. You're okay, I'm here now." Sasuke said calmly but firmly. Naruto growled as the second tail started to disappear. Sasuke let go of one of Naruto's arms to cup his face. "That's it, just calm down." Naruto still tried to intimidate him by growling and flipping his tails around but Sasuke held his ground. "Naruto." Sasuke said calmly as he stoked Naruto's cheek. The third tail started disappearing. Naruto was shaking by the time he had one tail left.
"Sasuke, they were going to kill me. I had to protect myself." Naruto started crying. Sasuke held Naruto's face in both of his hands.
"I know, Naruto. I know. You did good." Sasuke said stroking his cheeks.
"It was scary, Sasuke." Naruto cried gripping on Sasuke's arms. Sasuke hissed as sharp claws dug into his skin. "They were gonna kill me and I had to stop them." Naruto started shaking as the second tail started coming back.
"It's okay, Naruto. You're safe now. Calm down." Sasuke said comfortingly as his sharingan started spinning lazily. Naruto clawed at Sasuke's arms and shoulders trying to calm himself. Sasuke felt like his body was on fire from the pain of the fox's chakra burning him and Naruto clawing at him but he knew he couldn't let go. "Just calm down, Naruto. No one is going to hurt you anymore." The second tail disappeared.
"Sasuke, I was scared you wouldn't find me." Naruto said as the fox's chakra started to slowly disappear.
"But I did." Sasuke told him. Naruto nodded as the chakra surrounding him disappeared.
"I was scared I wouldn't get to tell you that I," Naruto started shakily but passed out before he could finish. Sasuke quickly grabbed him before he fell and gently placed him on the ground. He smiled knowing what Naruto was going to say. Sasuke put up a barrier around them and sat on the ground next to Naruto. He pulled out a small scroll and wrote a note on it and then summoned one of his snakes.
"Take this back to Tsunade in Konoha as fast as you can." Sasuke said handing the snake the scroll. The snake nodded and slithered off. Sasuke looked at the gashes in his arms and winced. "Guess it's good I learned a bit of healing jutsu from Kabuto." He muttered to himself forcing chakra into his hands. When they started glowing green he held them over his arms and felt the tissue reconnecting. It was a strange sensation to feel, it tingled and tickled slightly except it also disturbed you because you thought about what was really happening and it was kind of just gross. When his sharingan started flickering Sasuke stopped.
'I have to save enough chakra for my sharingan incase the Kyuubi comes back.' Sasuke told himself as he examined his only halfway healed wounds. He reached in his pouch and pulled out some medicine to put over the wounds to prevent infection. Sasuke then looked at Naruto. 'He looks burnt. And he's really warm.' Sasuke thought. Then inner Sasuke smirked mischievously. 'I might have to take off his jacket and shirt just to help him cool down a bit.'
"It can't be helped. It's for his own good." Outer Sasuke nodded in agreement. He gently pulled Naruto into a sitting position and pulled off his jacket. He folded it nicely and set it on the ground. Then he pulled of Naruto's shirt and used all of his willpower to keep the blush down because Uchihas don't blush. Not that there would be anyone around to see him but it was still the principle of the matter. Gently he lowered Naruto back to the ground and put the jacket under Naruto's head like a pillow. He then took Naruto's shirt and cut it into strips. "You're the one who did this to me, Dobe, you owe me." Sasuke said to the unconscious Naruto as he started wrapping the fabric scraps around his wounds. He then leaned against a nearby tree and watched Naruto. Naruto looked uneasy so Sasuke picked him up and went back to the tree he was leaning against. He set Naruto on the ground and let Naruto's head rest in his lap while he stroked Naruto's hair and rubbed his back. Sasuke forced himself to stay awake even though he knew it would take his summoned snake two days to get back to the village and then the ninja another two days to reach them. Naruto slept the whole time not that Sasuke minded, he knew it would take a lot out of Naruto to first use the Kyuubi's power. But then to force it all back under control? Sasuke would be surprised if Naruto woke up for the next month.
"Sasuke!" Sakura's voice broke Sasuke out of his daze. Sasuke looked up to see about eight figured headed towards them. He smiled with relief. He let the barrier around them fall and then passed out.
