"Well well, an intruder," The girl said as Sasuke looked at her. She wore a white sash and her hair was incredibly long, with a pitch black tone to it. Her eyes were black and her look was child-like. "I am surprised the only thing Konoha sent to save the Kyuubi was a scrawny man.

Sasuke looked at her angrily. SCRAWNY! He wanted to wrap his fingers around her neck and squeeze tightly. But he was on a mission.

"That's rich coming from a girl who is standing in the middle of the road," Sasuke just replied as Sadako looked at him, confused but amused. "Now if you don't mind, I would like to get to the forbidden forest." He took a step forward and he felt something press against his chin. He looked down and it was the girl, except her child-like look was gone, replaced with a malicious stare.

"I should probably introduce myself. I am Sadako of the Sand, and I am one of Lady Aoi's guards." As soon as Sasuke heard the words "Aoi", he jumped back and Sadako prepared her staff for a battle. "I refuse to let you through unless you kill me." Sasuke just looked at her. He pulled out 3 shuriken, and stood ready for battle.

"I guess Aoi wants Naruto all to herself…" he whispered as he and Sadako charged at

Each other.

Aoi stood as she gazed at the pod endlessly.

Soon Naruto you will be able to spread your wings and fly…Only a few more hours…

She turned to where Yamamura was sitting. He was trying to calm down his twin sister, Kinamori, down. She was crying again because she had a nightmare and Yamamura was right there to soothe her. He had laid his sister's head on his knees and she just crouched into a little ball as her brother stroked her hair lightly, calming her with words. The silhouette floated towards where the twins were and Yamamura looked up.

Did she have another nightmare? Aoi said as Yamamura nodded, before looking down at his sister.

"Yes, she's been having strange nightmares lately," he replied, watching his sister sleep. "She can be a sensitive one."

I see. Keep taking care of your sister like you always do…. Yamamura nodded again as he laid his sister on a pillow, before laying himself beside her to sleep.

Aoi thought as she wandered back to the pod where Naruto was being held captive, those siblings are inseparable. They will either live together or die together. That kind of bond is rare in siblings, don't you think Naruto? She stood at the pod again, watching the Jinchuuriki transform.

Sasuke threw kunai after Kunai at Sadako, knowing that any normal person would not be able to dodge them at the velocity that they were going. However Sasuke also realised that Sadako was most likely NOT human. Sadako only laughed as she dodged every attack he dealt her.

"How sad. You can't even hit me," Sadako simply said as the attacks from the Uchiha ceased for a moment. "You're supposed to save the Jinchuuriki? You can't even fight for yourself." Sadako pulled her staff from her back and stood in a fighting stance, ready to attack.

"Now let me show you how it is REALLY done….." Sasuke didn't even know what was happening before he saw Sadako disappear. He looked around before turning. She was behind him, before hitting him with her staff at such a speed that it sent Sasuke flying to the ground. He slowly stood up again though.

"So this is your true self eh?" Sasuke said, smirking a little. "I'm actually excited…How about you Sadako?" Sadako smirked back at the remark.

"It HAS been a while since I battled like this. But I know you're holding back…" Sadako replied as the Uchiha closed his eyes….

"You're right….SHARINGAN!"

The Battle has now begun….
