Chapter 2
Sasuke jumped through the trees, from branch to branch, both of his team-mates in each of his arms, Naruto in his left and Sakura in his right. He looked at both of them and sighed. 'Darn it, it's hard carrying them both and making sure they don't hit a tree or something…'
"Uhhh…." He heard causing his eyes to widen. He looked at Sakura; she was walking up, but not Naruto.
'Well, Naruto did eat more then her, so it's obvious she'd wake up before him, so, what do I do now? Give her some more of that syrup? I don't know where she's keeping it, or if there's still some left!' Sasuke thought frantically on what to do.
"Uhhh…" Sakura looked up at Sasuke who had come to a halt on a tree branch. "Sasuke? Where are we?" Sasuke didn't know how to respond, so instead, he let her go and chopped at her neck with his left hand, which instantly knocked her out. Sasuke sighed in relief as she fell unconscious as he caught her again.
'I should increase my pace, there's no telling how long both of them will be awake, and if I'm right, next up is Naruto's turn to wake up!' he looked up at the sky, the last bit of the gleaming light through the trees was fading. 'I should get as far as I can, it's getting dark, or maybe I should find a resting place…' he wondered. He sighed. 'Man, I've been sighing a lot.' He remarked and continued jumping from tree-branch to tree-branch.
….
Sasuke stopped at an open field, seeing that it had become too dark to travel. He laid Sakura and Naruto against two trees that were next to each-other and went to gather some wood. He came back and piled them into a stack in the middle of the clearing. 'Okay, so how'd Kabuto use to start the fire?' he thought. 'I think it was by rubbing two sticks together...' Sasuke thought and grabbed two sticks and started rubbing them. He rubbed, and rubbed, and rubbed…..
"AAAAHHH! Why isn't this working? Kabuto made it look so easy!" Sasuke exclaimed, annoyed.
"Ughhh….Ugghhhh….Sasuke…." Sasuke's eyes shot wide when he heard this. He shot his head towards the direction of Naruto and Sakura. It was Naruto this time. Sasuke approached Naruto slowly so that in-case he awoke, he could knock him out.
"Mmmmmm…..Sakura…Don't worry…I'll bring Sasuke back….SASUKE!" Naruto yelled the last part, which alerted Sasuke, but he became calm again when he saw that Naruto was only dreaming. Naruto's eyes started to shake, and he started opening his eyes again. When they were completely open, Naruto moved forward a little, with tired eyes.
"Sasuke?" Naruto questioned. Sasuke tensed. Sasuke put his right hand on his Snake Sword's handle that was in its sheath. Naruto moved his face a little more forward and stared dully at Sasuke. When suddenly….his head shot back and he fell asleep again. Sasuke fell over anime style, sweat-dropping.
When he got up, Sasuke was looking at Naruto in a weird way. He sighed and went back to the wood and stared at it for ten minutes in a crouching position with the same weird way he was staring at Naruto. "Forget it!" Sasuke said exasperated and made hand seals. "Fire Style, Fire Ball Jutsu!" he yelled as the wood caught fire in a blaze. Sasuke jumped back as soon as he was hit a little by the fire. "I guess I should've backed up before I used the Fire-Ball Jutsu, Ah well!" he said as he went to go sit near the fire. He sat for five hours when he decided he should take a quick nap since he was getting sleepy. He stood up and looked at Naruto and Sakura sleeping.
"I should give them that syrup, just to make sure they don't wake up while I'm sleeping, but I don't have anymore, I guess I'll have to…" Sasuke sighed in annoyance because of his realization of what he must do. He stood up and went to Naruto first. He checked the pockets of Naruto's trousers, and when he didn't find them there, he guessed that it was in Naruto's pouch. "Now how am I going to roll him over without waking him up? I guess that's a risk I'll have to take…" Sasuke sighed again as he slowly moved Naruto to Naruto's left and checked Naruto's pocket with his left hand and found the bottle. There was about half left.
"Good, I only need to give him a little of it!" Sasuke smirked, luck was on his side for once, but it seemed only temporary, as he could hear Sakura moving. "Darn it!" Sasuke exclaimed and popped open the bottle, laid Naruto straight on the floor and poured ten drops of the syrup in his mouth. "He'll probably drink it thinking its just saliva" Sasuke guessed. He then turned to Sakura after putting Naruto's bottle back in the blonde-haired Ninja's pouch. He walked over to Sakura and sat next to her. He decided to check her pouch first, and moved her to her left a little with his right hand, and pulled out the bottle with his left hand, relieved that it was in the pouch.
"Thank God!" Sasuke said. He did the same thing he did with Naruto, he laid her on the ground, there was about a little more then half of the syrup left in Sakura's bottle. Sasuke poured about ten drops into Sakura's mouth and put the bottle back into Sakura's pouch. He sighed in relief and went to another tree, laid down against it and fell asleep.
…..
When he woke up, it was morning, actually, a little late in the morning. Sasuke's eyes opened slowly, and he sat straight, and looked to his left and right with half open eyes. His eyes then shot open as he jumped up and looked around frantically for Naruto and Sakura. Fortunately, they were still asleep. Sasuke saw that the fire had already been blown out. He stretched. Suddenly, realization dawned upon him. "Oh Shoot! I'm late! I need to get moving!" Sasuke exclaimed and quickly ran to Naruto and Sakura. He put Naruto in his left arm and Sakura in his right. He jumped up onto a tree branch and going to….well, where he was going!
….
Sasuke was nearly exhausted when he spotted a cave. "Finally!" Sasuke exclaimed, happy. He increased his pace and jumped in front of the cave. He knocked on a boulder in front of it. "Who's there?" A voice hissed from the inside.
"Just open it already Tobi, you know it's me." Sasuke said.
"Whooosssss Tooobiiiiiii? I don't know any TOOOOBBBIIIIII….though it sounds like the name of a powerful, handsome young man!" the voice praised. Sasuke's eye-brow twitched.
"JUST OPEN IT ALREADY!" Sasuke screamed.
"Open WHHHAAAAAATTTTAAAHHHH?" the voice hissed.
"The door!" Sasuke said, annoyed.
"Whaaaatt''s THHEHEEEEE PASSSWOOOORRDFDDDDDAAAHHH?" Sasuke smashed his head into the bolder in complete annoyance. If you listen closely, Sasuke was, crying in agony. Suddenly, the bolder began to move into the air.
"!" The voice hissed as the bolder moved up into the air to reveal….TOBI!
"Correct my face…" Sasuke cried while going inside.
"!" Tobi said as the boulder came down again.
"Please, PLEASE! Stop TALKING LIKE THAAAAAATTTTTAAAHHH! And PLEASE! For the love of humanity and everything that is SANE! ZIP IT!" Sasuke begged.
"Okay!" Tobi said happily. Sasuke fell over anime style, causing Sakura and Naruto to fall as well. When Sasuke got up, he picked them up.
….
"I see you have arrived...Hmm…" Deidara spoke in his usual manner.
"Yeah, so what about it?" Sasuke replied, annoyed.
"My, My! Someone's grumpy today!" Deidara remarked, smirking. "Maybe if you watch some art, you'll be in a livelier mood...Hmmm?" Deidara suggested, ready to get a piece of clay from his pouch.
"No thanks" Sasuke replied as he threw Naruto and Sakura at Tobi, who caught them after being surprised.
"How was the capture? Were there any problems?" Deidara questioned.
"No, not really, I just walked in, they took me to the Hokage and she smashed me through the door…." Sasuke said, wincing at the memory.
"Why?" Deidara asked, and as he did, Tobi could be heard snickering which earned him a glare from Sasuke, but that didn't bother Tobi, after
"What did you do?" Deidara asked again, curious.
"Oh, nothing much, I just yelled at her…" Sasuke replied, annoyed. Deidara laughed as Sasuke glared at him.
"You should be more careful when dealing in matters like these, Little Brother…" A voice called out. Sasuke, surprised, gasped and looked at the corner at the right of the room. Out of the shadows, stepped forward Itachi.
"When did you come inside?" Sasuke said, surprised.
"I was here the whole time" Itachi responded. Sasuke looked at Deidara and Tobi who nodded in approval with looks that said 'You didn't know?' "You should be more observant of your surroundings, little brother, what's wrong? Too tired?" Itachi questioned. Sasuke sighed and nodded.
"I see, travelling continuously without any rest can be a burden, your new to it, you will get used to it eventually I assume." Itachi said. Sasuke nodded. "So, Shall we proceed?"
"I guess" Sasuke replied. Tobi took Naruto and Sakura further into the room which revealed a simple machine, with a blue-pod in front of it. He opened it and placed both Naruto and Sakura inside. He shut the door and walked back to the two brothers and Deidara who walked forward towards the machine. He frowned as he looked at all the buttons and levers on the machine.
"Man, that's a lot of technical mumbo jumbo!" Deidara remarked. "I don't know if I can do this right!"
"Can I do it Deidara? Please?" Tobi pleaded.
"No." Deidara replied.
"But why not?"
"You might mess it up, and we can't let that happen!" Deidara answered.
"But I won't! Besides! You said that you don't know if you can do it right!" Tobi protested.
"Well, well, now I can!" Deidara replied.
"No you can't!"
"YES! I can!"
"Nope!"
"CAN TO!"
"CAN NOT!"
"CAN TO!"
"CAAAAANNNN NOOOTTTAAAHHHHH!" Tobi yelled. While the two continued bickering, Sasuke sighed.
"I'll do it" Sasuke said. He walked over to the machine.
"Hey!" Deidara said, he was about to stop Sasuke when-
"Let him do it, he knows them better then any of us." Itachi said, stopping Deidara.
"Hmm…I guess your right…Hmm…" Deidara replied, sighing. Itachi walked over to Sasuke who was studying the machine's controls.
"Shall we start?" Itachi asked. Sasuke nodded. Itachi raised the lever up. Alongside it where numerous smaller levers, with Titles on top of them, much resembling personality traits, with levels of the personality written on the left of the lever. The Words Written were:
'Extreme
'High'
'Middle'
'Low'
'None'
However, it did not seem that those smaller levers were going to be used any time soon. As soon as Itachi pushed the biggest lever up. Electricity shot down from the top of the blue-pod and came down as a big round blast. When it hit Naruto and Sakura, it enveloped them completely. But, as soon as it had appeared and blasted them, it had disappeared. Naruto and Sakura were in the same position as they were before, but little sparks were flickering on their bodies every second.
"The first trait is Annoying." Itachi said amusedly.
"And the first person is Naruto; I guess this one isn't too hard." Sasuke said. He set the Annoying trait to Extreme.
"Next is Loud-ness." Itachi said again amusedly.
"Extreme for that too." Sasuke remarked. This went on as the brothers set all the traits for Naruto and then Itachi then put his hand on the lever and smashed it inside the machine. Both then turned their attention to the second machine that was to the right of the first machine. Itachi moved the lever up, and both brothers set the traits for Sakura. Itachi smashed the lever inside the machine again. Now the two turned their attention to the two big green buttons on the right of the lever slots on both of the machines.
"I've heard of big red buttons, but big green buttons?"
"We wanted to be different, even if by a color." Itachi said.
"But isn't one of the main colors of your cloak red?" Sasuke questioned.
"Yeah….but…." Itachi didn't have an answer. A few minutes passed.
"Well?"
"Just Shut Up, Sasuke." Itachi replied, not wanting to let anyone know that he didn't have an answer. Deidara and Tobi realized this rather quickly and started snickering. It was quite for a minute before Itachi turned his head a little to his right shoulder, his hair covering his eyes. "You know…" Itachi started.
"You really shouldn't be laughing at us, because who knows; maybe we'll be laughing at what might happen…" Itachi paused and then turned his head sharply towards Tobi and Deidara, his Mangekyou Sharingan blazing. "TO YOU!" Itachi yelled. Tobi and Deidara were frozen in their chairs, and fell off of them.
"You put them under a Genjutsu, didn't you?"
"Your skills of observation exceed me, little brother"
"Whatever, can we get on with this?"
"Don't be so impatient, it's not like we're in a hurry." Itachi remarked. Sasuke moved back to the first machine and placed his right index finger on the big green button as Itachi did the same with the second machine's big green button. Both looked at each-other and nodded. "Now!" Itachi said. Both pushed the buttons at once. Electricity shot from the walls of the blue-pod at the two unconscious Ninja. This continued for a whole minute before the electricity disappeared along with both Sakura and Naruto.
"The rest is up to them." Itachi said as Sasuke nodded.
"MOOOMMMMYYYYYYY?" Tobi murmured. Both brothers looked at him strangely.
…..
Two mysterious, cloaked figures stood in a room high inside a gigantic room, as if standing in a commentating room in a foot-ball stadium. It was a large room, bigger then the room for the preliminary rounds of the Chuunin Exam. It was completely empty. On either sides were long halls, much like the blue-pods from earlier. Both stared down at the big room. "I wonder what's taking them so long, I heard Sasuke has arrived." One of them with a dark voice spoke.
"Have patience, they should be here any second now." The other one, with a slightly lighter voice spoke.
As soon as they were done talking, in both halls on both sides of the big room, electricity started shooting down at the doors.
"It's about time! I was getting impatient!" The one with the lighter voice said which caused the one with the dark voice to sweat-drop.
"You just told me to have patience!" the Dark voice one spoke, still sweat-dropping.
"SHUT UP!" The Dark-voice man sweat-dropped again.
In the left hall, Naruto appeared, and he seemed to be in pain. He was standing, clutching his head in pain. Sakura appeared in the other, right hall and was doing the same thing as Naruto. Both had their eyes closed, and were banging on the doors of their respective halls, as if their pain would be soothed if they broke through. Sakura had enough and smashed through the door and so did Naruto. Obviously, opening the door by the handle didn't seem like a good idea to them.
"Well, Well, they are this impatient huh?" the dark-voice person spoke.
"Who could blame them?" the other, light-voiced person laughed.
As soon as Naruto and Sakura entered the big room, they both fell to their knees, rolling around in extreme pain. Naruto felt something taking over his body, and so did Sakura. Naruto's eyes popped open. He managed to look at his surroundings. He felt him losing control of his body.
"No…No….I can't let this happen….NNOOOOOOOOOO!" Naruto screamed. He then saw Sakura. He yelled, not being able to handle the pain he was receiving and especially not seeing Sakura in the same pain. "NO SAAAKUUURAAA!" This caused Sakura to pop open her eyes. She too was able to look at her surroundings. She felt her losing control of her body. He looked at her hand which was trembling. Her eyes widened in horror as it started moving by itself. It grabbed her chest, which was in immense pain. She then spotted Naruto.
"Darn it…NARUTO!" She yelled, not being able to stand her own pain, and the pain of her friend. Soon after, Naruto and Sakura felt themselves completely lose control of their bodies, though they were still conscious, and still in extreme pain. The two figures smirked at the two.
"It's almost time." The light-voiced person said as the other nodded. "Let's Begin!" as soon as the person said this, both looked at the machine in front of them. They were in a circle room with a round machine, with them in the middle. It had the same buttons as the machines Sasuke and Itachi were using, but it was longer and with more personality traits and settings higher then extreme. The two figures started going in separate directions, setting almost every trait to the highest setting. When the reached the middle, at the door, they both raised their respective big levers up and then smashed them inside the machine.
While this was going on, Naruto and Sakura were rolling in even more pain, as electricity was now sparking rapidly across their bodies. The two figures smashed their respective big green buttons at the same time. As soon as they did, the entire giant room in which Naruto and Sakura were in was filled with electricity, but, strangely, exploded into colored lightning bolts, which danced around in the room. There were pink bolts, orange, blue, red, green, all kinds. The bolts continued to dance around and every now and then two or three would together jump onto Naruto and Sakura and enter their bodies, which increased the pain of the two Shinobi. Sakura laid flat on her back, staring at the ceiling, writhing in pain. A pair of every color of lightning bolt jumped onto her, some going into her legs, some her stomach, and some her forehead.
One by one they entered her, and the same happened with Naruto. Once almost all of the lightning bolts had entered both Naruto and Sakura, there was only one dancing around, and it appeared to be rainbow colored and was the most massive in size. It split into two. One half shot towards Sakura and engulfed her and the other engulfed Naruto. Half-a-minute passed and Naruto and Sakura's bodies were devoid of any skin or anything, only the rainbow color of the last lightning bolt was brightly flashing in the shape of their bodies. Next, Naruto and Sakura's bodies turned the color of every lightning bolt, before once again turning into the rain bow color. After a few minutes passed, a bright light shot out from both, meeting in the middle of the giant room, which then shot down to the floor, and was a straight, fat line leading from Naruto to Sakura and from Sakura to Naruto.
The two figures watched amusedly. "That was quite a light-show, wasn't it?" the dark-voice person said.
"Indeed!" The other light-voice person said. A few minutes passed. "I think it's time we do our part" The other dark-voice person nodded. Both vanished and appeared in the giant room, the light-voice person next to Sakura and the dark-voice person next to Naruto.
"I think we should teach these 'kids' a thing or two, what do you say?" the dark-voice person said, chuckling. The light-voice person giggled.
"We should!"
"Well, then!" the dark-voice person said and kicked Naruto's right side, which sent him skidding across the room. At the same time, Sakura's left side was kicked by the light-voice person. Both Naruto and Sakura were skidding across the giant room towards the middle of the room, making the giant lightning bolt straight line between them shorter and shorter. Both of the cloaked figures raised their index and middle fingers together and waited. As soon as Naruto and Sakura were just inches away from each-other, both figures let out a grunt. As soon as Naruto and Sakura collided with each-other, there was a flash of light that filled the entire room. When the light cleared, there were two new figures standing, facing each-other, with the same rainbow color, it was as if the two new figures were made out of rainbow.
Suddenly, the one on the left fell forward and soon after, the one on the right did as well. The cloaked figures walked towards the two figures, and picked them up. "We won't get consumed as well, will we?" The light-voice person asked.
"No, we will not." The dark-voice person replied.
A blinding flash of light filled the room. After it was gone, so were the cloaked figures and Naruto and Sakura.
….
The light-voice figure appeared in a room with a bed and placed Sakura on it and pulled a blanket over her and disappeared.
….
The dark-voice person appeared in a room with a bed as well and placed Naruto on it and pulled a blanket over him and disappeared.
…
Both cloaked figures appeared in a long hall. "Well, we're done for today, the rest will be completed tomorrow!"
"Okay, then," the light-voice figure said and disappeared, leaving the dark-voice person alone.
