I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. IF I DID THEN THIS WOULD BE IN THE MANGA IN SOME YEARS AS A LAST ADVENTURE FOR THE TEAM TO END THE SERIESE the original manga is owned by Masashi Kishimoto (Mangaka GOD)

All the characters are 10 years older from the start of the manga and 7 years older then in part II. That's about 23 for the Rookie 9 and 25 for team Gai. Can't remember the ages of the Jonin

Chapter 4: Escape

In an instant, three Anbu fell. Only for a second could you see distinct trails of blond and black leave and head to another target. In a second another fell with both his arms ripped off and those arms were used to beat two more men into submission. In the course of 10 seconds, half the Anbu were eliminated. Unfortunately, the blond and dark haired man slowed down, winded. 'Crap, I can't keep up this pace for to long. Normally I could kill hundreds of these guys, but my chakra is still out of whack from the seal.' Naruto thought as he continued to fight with little anvil.

'Shit, I can't keep up with this speed and concentrate on my target at the same time without the Sharingan' Sasuke thought as he too was having trouble with the remaining 9 Anbu. 'If I can't think of something fast, then the idiot will win' He went through a couple seals and a giant fireball burst from his mouth. In the confusion of it all, he started another series of seal and held his wrist to the ground. Blue light erupted around him and the chirp of thousand birds could be heard. "Chidori". He could not stop, he had to activate his eyes to use the technique. "Naruto, get down now!!!"

"What?" he turned and saw the electricity in the air, "Oh shit". As he dropped to the ground, he was struck on all side. Two swords got him and his spine was stabbed by at least five kunai, lined up right down the center line. He felt the pain and then a rain of blood on him. Sasuke had moved at the high speeds he was known for. A great speed that is only surpassed by the Hiraishin no Jutsu. Instantly, Anbu fell, with chunks the size of pineapples missing from their gut. They fell and jutsu ended. Sasuke looked around, the tomes in his eyes spinning wildly to see if any one survived.

In fact, one survived. Quickly, he tossed a flare into the air and died. This however did not stop Sasuke from crushing his head in with his boot. "Okay, dobe, lets get the hell out of here now" He looked to the blond and quickly ran to him. "Shit, he's lost to much blood. Damn it." He looked up and saw three more squads coming up to them, 'We're fucked' was all he could think as he hoisted Naruto onto his shoulder. Suddenly, two figures papered in front of him. He closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable. He took a deep breath and started to reflect on his life. (I won't say what happens, I don't do heart felt flashbacks). He held his breath and heard a blood curling scream. He opened his eyes and saw Kakashi and Yamato beating off Anbu with great ease. (No, not beating off, but fighting off) Sasuke relaxed, but suddenly tensed when a kunai struck him in the shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and saw an Anbu run up to him. He tried to move but found he could not.

"Dynamic Entry' was screamed and it echoed through out the block. Instantly, a green blur rushed in and the Anbu was sent flying into and then out of a building and then back into another one. When the dust settled, there stood Maito Gai, and Sasuke could not have been so glad to see him. The man was annoying as hell, but dammed if he wasn't the best sparring partner to use and abuse besides Naruto.

"Shit Gai, I think you went a little over board with him"

"Why would you think that my youthful friend. That man was trying to snuff out you ever burning flame of youth", he yelled with a grin and thumbs up. Both Kakashi and Yamato heard this and fell to the ground. Fortunately, this caused two Anbu to miss them and they were quickly dispatched with identical kicks to the gut and kunai to the neck. "Beside we need to get you two out of here" He quickly grabbed Naruto from him and threw him onto his back. Kakashi jumped back as Yamato did some seals. Seconds later, a great wall of wood extended up and slowed down the remaining Anbu. Sasuke was helped up by Kakashi and the five of them left into the forest.

They travel for almost four hours, and they came to a huge clearing. For a second, Sasuke could not figure out where they were. Then it hit him. They had arrived at The Valley Of The End. As they dropped to the river, he could only stare at the destruction that he and Naruto had caused almost a decade ago. He looked around and saw a cave. In there were several others including Tsunade and the group that they stayed behind to fight for. He saw Hinata and smiled. Kakashi let him down and he fell into her arms. He grabbed her and leaned in for a kiss. That became something deeper. Every one else went on there way to give them a little privacy as they fell to the ground. But after a few seconds he let go and rolled over on his back panting. She rushed over and palms glowed a familiar green and she pressed it to his wounds. Almost instantly, they were gone and a faint pink scar was seen.

"Thanks Hinata", he panted out. He grabbed her collar and pulled her down for another kiss. Suddenly a shrill scream was heard. (Sakura)

"Hinata get over here. We need you help with Naruto." Tsunade yelled over to her. In a second they had arrived to Naruto. He was laying on his side. Blood was spilling out of the wounds on his back and from above his hips. "His spine has been damaged and his liver, kidney and lung have been punctured." Tsunade explained quickly.

"That's impossible. He should be fine by now. That damn fox and his reflexive healing … should … have …" Sakura looked down at his seal, "Fuck the compound seal is stopping the fox from helping him." Naruto was barely breathing. Shizune quickly stimulate his adrenal gland and his breathing quickened and evened out at the same time.(These glands are located on the kidney and create adrenaline). Seeing him like this, Sakura took the lead. "Okay Tsunade, I need you to fix his spine, Hinata treat his lung, Shizune get his kidney, I'll take his liver." (Yeah, the liver is the most romantic organ in the body)

The three responded with a resounding "Yes ma'am". Hinata with hast in her voice and Tsunade and Shizune with surprise in theirs. Then they all set to work.

(While they are doing that, let me explain something. Yes, team 7 in now the new Sennin. They were given this title not only for their skill and technique, but also for there unique powers even in the Shinobi world. They all have accelerated healing powers, or as I like to call it Reflexive Healing. They were given these gifts both at birth, over time, and hard work. Naruto has always been blessed and cursed with the Fox and his ability to heal almost all wounds. Sasuke had gained his power when he absorbed Orochimaru mind into his psyche as well as his knowledge and some of his body. Sakura's was gained through years of hard work as a medical specialist. This is similar to Tsunade's Genesis Rebirth technique, except it is active almost constantly and is used as normally for her as her super strength. But, all three have draw backs. They cause accelerated aging. This however has affected both Sasuke and Naruto the most. Though they all go on the same missions together, Sakura was trained to avoid and evade when she fights. Naruto and Sasuke are constantly hit by huge attacks and have suffered the most damage. Because of this, they appear to be over 35 even though they are around 23 years old. Despite that, their respective lovers still have the hots for them. Sakura looks 20 because Tsunade taught her to hide her age after some time. But without that jutsu, she looks about 27. Now back to the story.)

He was bandaged up and rolled onto his back. His breathing was erratic but it was deep. The four medics lifted him up and carried him to the back of the cave. They settled him down next to the fire and covered him in a blanket. Sakura sat down next to him while the other three left. She took his hand in hers and brought it to her lips and planted a gentle kiss on it. "I'm so sorry Naruto, I should have stayed behind to help you two. You could have been killed if the sword that got your lung went any farther." She kissed his hand again and lightly nipped at his knuckles. His fingers twitched and then his hand opened. The back of his hand slowly slide against her cheek as she held his wrist. It slowly moved to the other side and palm was cupping her cheek. Sakura closed her eyes rubbed her face against that broad palm. It felt rough and it was covered in calysts, but had such a delicate touch, holding her as if she were made of paper. She looked down at his face. Even though his eyes were closed he had on his biggest smile.

"I'm just glad your okay. I didn't want you to get hurt." He said with slight chuckle in his voice.

A single tear ran down her cheek and onto his hand, "Baka, I'll be fine, but your all messed up inside. You should be more worried about yourself. You such a hopeless romantic. Do you need any thing?"

"Can you just kiss the pain away?" he asked sheepishly and suggestively at the same time.

"Not in you condition idiot. But this should tide you over for now." With that said, she leaned forward and place a kiss on him. He raised his other arm and grabbed the back of her head and held her there. He slowly opened his mouth and she dove in. He tasted of earth and copper (from his blood) and suddenly she felt his tongue dive and they wrestled for a few seconds (with their tongues. Naruto too weak to wrestle right now). She broke the kiss and leaned her forehead against his. She looked into his fiery blue eyes and was entranced by them. After a few moments, she spoke. "Well, will that help?"

"Yeah, for now thanks."

"Anytime" she got up and sat up against a wall. She gently pulled Naruto's head into her lap and he fell asleep. For a few minutes, she stroked his whiskers as he purred and then she too fell asleep.

Outside…(Yay, a new inbetween)….

"Tsunade-sama, what the hell is going on in the village. We were attacked when we entered. They gave us these weird seals on the Curse Mark and the Kyubi" Sasuke stated when the trio returned.

"We know, that happened 4 days ago. We were planning to break you out, but you jumped the gun. I knew you guys were good, but damn."

"Wait, 4 days, we've been out for four days. But, I don't …. it only felt like a few hours," Sasuke thought for a few seconds. "What about Naruto and Ino, how are they doing?"

"Naruto's fine, he should be up and about in a few days. It would be sooner if we could get that seal off. But, we don't have a seal master. The only one who could have removed it is Jiraiya. As for Ino, she just waking up. She been under for a while. Shikamaru is watching her."

"Okay. Wait….. Sakura might be able to remove the seal from Naruto. She has been trying to develop a way to control us. She knows the erratic nature of the Curse Mark and the Fox. She also knows that only I can stop Naruto if he went on a rampage and the same vice versa. But she thinks that those measures are not enough. She has found a way to suppress the fox like Yamato can and away to control the out seal the Kakashi gave me 9 years ago. She just needs an effective way to activate it when she needs to."

"Wait Kakashi gave you the first seal?"

"Yes?"

"Kakashi, I want you to look at the seal on the two of them. See if you can remove it or if you can help Sakura"

"Yes ma'am" Kakashi answered coolly (Just because he's cool like that) and wandered to the back of the cave. (Just so you know, they've been camping out for a while and made the cave bigger with earth style techniques).

After a few hours, everyone gathered in the main chamber. The only one missing were Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Gai, and Yamato (The last two are out side guarding the entrance). Those awake were debriefed by Sasuke. He told them of Danzo's plot and his connection to the Akatsuki. "Wait, you got files on what he wants from the Vault? How the hell did you get that?"

"I sent out a clone after Hinata and I escaped. But that's not important. We need to plan a counterattack for when Naruto gets back on his feet"

"I agree with Sasuke. But first I need to know our numbers and forces." Shikamaru added to the conversation.

"Right, but, what you see is what we got." The buxom blond replied (Not Ino).

Shikamaru scanned the room. He was shocked at who he saw. Among the refuges were, Kakashi (Checking on Naruto), Konohamaru, Udon, Hanabi, Gai, Yamato (Outside), Ebisu, Anko (Helping Kakashi), and his own father. That was it. They were the only people to get out. Everyone else was stuck in the city or on a mission only to return and become stuck in the city. He sighed. "Dad" he called out. He was sleeping. Shika's eye twitched as he walked over to his lump of a father and gingerly kicked him in the head.

"What d'you want, I'm trying to sleep" he complained with half-lidded eyes.

"I need you help with a plan of attack. Hokage's orders. Now get up."

"Fine, fine." They went off to plan an attack.

I know, not a very dramatic way to end a chapter, but I'm trying. Next we're going to remove Naruto's seal. I need to figure out how to do it. I was going to make it part of this chapter, but I want to limit my self to 3- 4 pages per chapter. Oh, by the way, I got my first review, I would like to thank you so the world can see it. Well any way. I will try to get the next chapter out soon. Also, I am kind of running out of cool ideas, so if you can add some stuff to your reviews. Thank you for reading
