Note to readers: NO MORE MUSHY STUFF!!! Battle mode baby! For the romantic lovers I will allow this chapter to be possibly the only action chapter. I got some shockers too! Enjoy!

Outside the Hokage Tent

Sakura looked around for the culprit. Not there, not there, where… She then fell under fear as she heard feet leave the ground.

Kabuto drove his chakra encased hand into the ground, barely breaking the pink haired Kunoichi's in the neck. "Hm, Aware. I'm surprise a genin would have such a level of awareness, but you are a Konoha 12."

"What are you doing here!" she demanded getting in a fighting stance. She was freezing under the cold air against her exposed legs. She quaked, but she stood her ground. Before she could continue she felt the ache of her shoulder as an unknown drove his finger into it.

Ouch. That wasn't a strong hit, but it hurt so hard. Sakura turned around and saw a new ninja she had never seen before. He wore the normal sound ninja uniform, but it was yellow like Orochimaru's, and he wore a blindfold. "Watch your mouth kid. You can't take all of us."

Sakura turned around and saw a brute with a same uniform as the other new comer, followed by other sound ninja with gold uniform. He looked at her with thirst in his eyes. His voice was demonic yet childish. "Hehehe. Pretty genin. You soft, so developed…" he reached behind him and dropped a pair of manriki (chains for those who don't know). " Chain manipulation Jutsu!"

The Mankiri suddenly cam alive and whipped at Sakura. She dodged with ease as she made her way to the brute and leaped into the air. Before she could land anything, the blindfolded ninja jumped past her, kicking her in the stomach. She landed on the ground, gripping her stomach. Something is wrong, he's hitting me in a wrong place.

" Chain Star Jutsu!" yelled the brute. The Chains began to wrap around Sakura's neck, elbow, wrist, shoulders, waist, ankles, knees, and arun the inner thigh. It pulled her into a position of a star. She groaned in pain as they pulled her body. " Hokku! Now!!!" The blindfolded evil leaped into the air and flipped, pulling out two hooks, he then held them out and began to spin. The speed he was going he would dismember in seconds. Sakura braced her self. CLANG!!!

Sakura looked as Neji clashed with Hokku and driving in down onto the ground. " Your battle is with me now!" The hyuga stepped into his fighting stans. " 8 trigrams!"

He ran towards Hokku, who jumped out the way, clearly leaving the brute open. He drove his fingers into the body of the monster. " two palms…4 palms…8 palms…16 palms…32 palms…64 Palms!!!!" Neji pushed The brute back on to the ground, causing him to drop the jutsu and Sakura land on the ground ruff."Hm..Aahh…AAAAAGGGHHHH" Neji fell to the ground clutching his head.

" Yes," Hokku walked up to the in pained Hyuga, his hand outstretched. " Did you forget Neji? The main branch has control over your seal."

Neji looked up in shock as he saw Hokku unmask himself, revealing his white eyes. " No…Aaagghh! It's true…Hokku, the missing Hyuga."

" Hmm. Your smarter then I thought," Said the Hokku. " Now, I want to see you cry!" Neji screamed in pain as his head was struck with the painful sinsation.

The Hokage Tent

Sasuke quaked in fear. He looked at his hand, and saw the seal had made it down to his hand. It pained him to see it was coming. He heard the shreak of the Hyuga genius, and made him even more fearful. Sasuke, for the first time, had actually feared someone.

" Are you ready to go?" asked Kabuto, who had entered the tent. " We have no time to wait around Sasuke, so grab your things."

"Who said I was going anywhere?" said Sasuke standing up. " Don't make me kill you!" he grunted getting into a fighting pose.

" No," said Kabuto. " You will come with us, or we will drag you there."

" I don't need your lessons!" said Sasuke, the cursed mark covering his face. " I don't want your help anymore!"

" Ha, and you thought he just wanted to train you!" he snickered. " Orochimaru needs a body. Your young and you wield the Sharingan. Orochimaru just wants your body."

" Then your definitely not getting me!" stated Sasuke. " You won't get me even if you tried."

" Ha!" laughed Kabuto. " I'd like a challenge."

Outside

Sakura crawled over to Neji who was slumpt over. His skin was drenched with sweat and quivered. " Neji, don't fight it, it'll cause more pain. Breathe!"She lifted up his head and looked into his eyes.

Hokku fell bored with torturing Neji. " Your done, you won't be intruding anymore. Your in so much pain you can bearly move." He looked at the brute. " Kusari, do as you please. Sound Ninja, block the passage way into the clearing."

" Chain cuff jutsu!" said Kusari. Sakura felt the ground quake under her. Suddenly the chain jumped out of the ground and wrapped around Sakura's wrist. A Second one grabbed her other wrist pulling her down on her body. She looked up and saw the tearifying beast. " Hehehe…so soft and gentle...mmm untouched." He squirmed against her. She kicked and screamed as he forced her down. " Don't fight. I take you now,"

" Get off me you retard!" she screamed. Kusari sat up and looked into her eyes. He put his hand on each side of her torso and brought his face closer to hers. She saw the hate in her eyes. He didn't take to kindly to that remark.

Before she could say anything else he drove his fist into her face. She coughed up blood." You make me mad!" He brought back his hand to bash her again, but he stopped. " Your to pretty. Mmmm," he forced his lips onto her. She felt his hand reach her waist and move down to the band of her shorts. " Say a word, and I will kill you."

The Jonin Tent

Kakashi woke up from the movements of Guy. " Guy, what's wrong?"Guy stood with a pale face. His eyes where buldging. He was in shock. Kakashi didn't understand until he realised Kurenai was laying on his chest. " Oh, um, …one thing led to another and I…"

" Kakashi," spoke Guy. " We have to go. I just heard a scream." He dipped his head down. " I think it was Neji. We must go now!"

" What happened?" asked Kurenai waking up. " Neji was screaming?"

" Get your vest," spoke Kakashi. " We have to move now."

Outside the Hokage Tent

Sakura whimpered as Kusari tasted her skin. She saw him begin to undoing his pants. She felt her heart stop. She started to squirm more to get the brute off her.

" Sakura," the poor girl looked up with tears in her eyes as she saw Neji crawl his way to her. She saw the blood from his shoulder ooze more the normally. He grabbed her hand as she began to cry harder. " Be strong, I'm here."

She looked to her left and saw Kabuto pulling a bleeding Sasuke out the tent. All hope…it's over. I'm going to die. Not like this…

NOO!!!! I CAN"T DIE!!! I WANT TO LIVE!!!!

Kusari pressed his body agianst her's pinning her completely she looked over his shoulder and looked into the sky. The gleamer of hope shined upon her… the feathers where fading away.

Kabuto saw this aswell, even Sasuke noticed this. " Who's doing this?"

"Hiyahh!!!" through the entrance of the tent came Naruto. " RASENGAN!!!!" Kabuto was caught off guard and felt the swirling pain that ripped into his chest once more. " And there's more where that came from!"

Neji took this as his chance. He drove his hand into Kusari's temples. " ARRRGGGHHH!!!," The blow knocked Kusari back and onto his back. Sasuke ran to Naruto, and glanced at Sakura who smiled in relief. Sasuke and Naruto stood back to back as three sound ninjas approached. " Gotcha!"

The Ninjas where petrified. They were unable to move. Shikamaru stepped from behind the tree. " Sasuke, Naruto, they are all yours!" Naruto and Sasuke used serious tiajutsu, beating the three ninjas.

Suddenly more ninjas appeared. " There are 20 of them," said Sasuke, activating his sharingan. " Even with us together, we won't be able to take them, they have a lot of Chakra."

" Not today!" Naruto and Sasuke looked up as they saw a green streak zip through the air and land into the center of the Sound followers. "Leaf Great Whirlwind!"

TenTen, followed by Ino, Choji, and Kiba, emerged and joined the fight. Shino landed next to Naruto and Sasuke. " Hold them off, I will go to Konoha,and get help." Then the hooded beetle tamer turned on his heels and leaped into the forest. The two ninjas turned around and ran back into the scuffle.

Neji crawled over to Sakura. He gripped the chains and pulled with all his strength. He mustered enough for her to get her hands free. She hugged him tight. " Ow," he said.

" YOU THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOU!!!" yelled Hokku pressing his hand to Neji's head. Neji shreaked in pain. Hokku threw Sakura away and pushed Neji onto his stomach." what's the matter? Does it hurt?" Neji suddenly sprung up and drove the kunai knife into Hokku's chest.

Neji coughed up blood. " A side branch could never kill a main branch, without going against him." Neji backed away. The seal on his forhead glowed bright before diming out. Neji then slowly dropped.

" No…I won't die," the Hokku said. Slumping over. " No…"

" No," said Sakura she ran over to Neji's side. His eyes were closed " Hurry some one help! Neji's hurt."

" I'll help him by finishing the job!" Kabuto emerged from the bushes with his chakra hand drawn about to send it into Sakura.

" Lighting Blade!" Kakashi came drawn with both hands liftimg Kabuto back into the air. Kakashi flipped above him and brought his second hand back. " Two Hit Thrust!!!!" He drove Kabuto into the ground, causing a crate. " Your done

"Stop." said Kusari holding Sakura with a kunai to her neck. " Or I kill her."

" Hey you!" Kusari turned around to have two of his chakra gates attacked. Hinata backed away as the brute fell onto his knees and pass out. "Leave her alone…"

" Thanks Hinata," smiled Sakura as she turned around. Her smile soon turned into a frown. " Hinata! Run!!!"

it was to late, the hooks were drove into Hinata's shoulders and lifted her into the air. Her skin ripped more as her wieght pulled her down. Hokku grined. " Another main branch. Pity, Any main branch could see this coming." He flung her over his shoulder, pulling the hooks out her flesh. " Your turn. You've slipped out our hands to many times in one night!"

" IF you want Sakura," declared Kakashi stepping between the sound and leaf. " You'll have to go through me."

" and us," said Naruto, eyes flaring red, and his whiskers looking like scars. Sasuke stood with him, the cursed seal covering his body.

Kabuto stood up. Sakura turned around and pulled a kunai knife from Kakashi's back pouch. " You fools, I might not be fully healed, and Kusari might be out of commission, but look at your friends." Naruto turned around. The only standing fighters were Lee, Shikamaru and Ino. TenTen was being stumped in her stomach, Kiba was covering a wounded Akumaru, as the ninjas drove there feet into his side, and Choji was barely breathing. The three were circled. " Your outnumbered. Sasuke can't even help with the cursed mark. It's over, your dead."

I beg to differ!" spoke the strong willed Guy leaping out the trees. " You don't stand a chance against me."

Kurenai appeared in the circle. She soon disolved into flower petals that serged through the sound ninjas. " Oh…ARRRGGHHH!!!!" the ninjas screamed as their bodies started to fade away into flower petals aswell. The petals then spiraled into a tornado before dispersing, revealing Kurenai.

" Who's outnumbered now?" She walked over to Kakashi and Kabuto. " You have no chance give up."

Kabuto looked over at Hokku who started to quake. Blood bursted from his mouth. He fell to his knees. " The wound…it was to deep…. My final jutsu, ROTATION OF THE HOOK OF DARKNESS!!!!" The fallen hyuga stood up, as he was encased with black chakra. He began to turn with increasing speed. The swirling ball of plack chakra shot through the jonin, leaving the young Kunoichi open.

Sakura screamed in pain as she was pulled into the swirling ball. " We have to get her out of there!" screamed Naruto. Sasuke began his hand seals, and two shadow clones began to swirl the rasengan. Sasuke and Naruto charged with great speed, as blue and red aruras streaked behind them.

In unison, they collided into the swirling black orb. In a chaotic blast the clearing was lit with a explosion. Shino turned around to see what had happened. "NO!!!!" Shino stood in fear as he looked onto the clearing. It was covered in a thick dusty smoke. I have to move now!!!
