To Protect Sakura! Naruto and Sasuke's United Front

Naruto was certain that he was dead. Gaara's limb was aiming straight for him and his legs were refusing to move. He's a monster, just like me. Everything he is, I am too. Maybe it would be better if I didn't exist. That way, I can't become what he did.

Naruto felt something hit his chest, pushing him away in a direction he had not expected. Wha…? Then the sand limb was surging past his ear, and he fell to the branch with a much softer impact than he had expected. What… What happened? He turned to look and saw a faint wisp of pink at the end of Gaara's arm. "Sakura-chan!" He flinched as he saw her body connect with a trunk and then Sasuke was there, catching her before she fell down as the arm retracted back. "Sakura-chan…" Why did you take that hit for me? You didn't have to get hurt, I'd've done anything to keep you safe.

Sasuke cradled Sakura in his arms and moved a hand to her neck. Her pulse is fine. She probably just got knocked unconscious. He looked back at Gaara who seemed to be in agony, clutching his head and muttering to himself. Looks like he's becoming even more unhinged. His eyes flicked over to check that Naruto was okay before he picked Sakura up, moving her swiftly out of the battle zone and placing her carefully in the lea of another tree. With luck she'll be safe here until this is over and we can get her some medical help. He pulled open one of her eyelids and checked her pupils. Looks like concussion from the impact. She's out of the fight for good. He straightened and moved quickly back to join Naruto, who was still staring, morbidly fascinated and not just a little afraid at Gaara. The Sand ninja's face stretched and reshaped itself so that all that could be seen of Gaara as human from his face was the mop of red hair. "Naruto."

Naruto jerked slightly. "Sasuke. Why did Sakura-chan do that?"

"No idea," lied Sasuke, trying to stop Naruto from feeling guilt at freezing and forcing her to take action. "For now, she's fine, but we need to finish this quickly and get her some help."

Naruto looked at Sasuke and could finally see what Gaara had talked about. His eyes aren't just cold. They're promising revenge and pain for this, and there's fire beneath that cold. He briefly wondered if something similar was mirrored in his own eyes, before smiling nervously. "Anyone who messes with Sakura-chan has to deal with us, right?"

"Right." Sasuke turned his attention back to Gaara, who seemed to be focused again and was laughing.

"So you fight for each other? That's why you're so weak. You don't need a reason to fight. Only the winner can feel the value of his existence. Now, forget about that worthless girl and fight only for yourselves!"

Naruto glanced at Sasuke and saw the rage displayed more openly on his face, before turning back to Gaara. "You just hurt Sakura-chan. Neither me nor Sasuke are going to forgive you for that." Naruto clenched his fists. "And you know what else? Me and Sasuke, we're nothing like you, no matter what you say!" He brought his hands up, focusing his chakra. "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" He and the clones he had created sprang forwards, but were all swiftly repelled by Gaara's demonic limbs. Only Sasuke's quick reflexes saved Naruto from impacting into the tree again.

"Damn it, Naruto! Don't take stupid risks like that." Sasuke glared at him, his eyes shifting back to their usual dark colour from the red of the sharingan. I certainly can't do this alone, and I don't want what happened to Sakura to happen to you too!

Naruto jerked himself out of Sasuke's grip, glaring back. "Fine. I was saving this move for when we got to fight in the exam but, thanks to No-brows over there, I'll have to use it now." Plus, I don't think we can win. We're just not strong enough. It will use a lot of chakra, but our only chance will be to have the Frog-boss squish him. "Don't worry, Sasuke," said Naruto, trying to grin confidently. "I'll finish it with this move." He moved his hand to his mouth and bit, opening the surface of his skin to allow blood to leak out. Here goes! Boar. Dog. Bird. Monkey. Ram. Naruto slammed his hand down on the branch. "Kuchiyose no jutsu!"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow in surprise. Naruto knows summoning? Since when? Obviously this 'Ero-sennin' of his is more powerful than I thought. He waited to see what Naruto had planned to produce, and was annoyed to find that it was a small, neon red frog with black markings that seemed to be wearing a waistcoat. What good is this supposed to be?

"What the?" said the little frog indignantly. "It's just some little squirt! If you want me to do anything, give me a snack. Otherwise I won't play with you."

"You know something!" screeched Naruto, bending to loom over the frog. "I really hate you frogs!"

"That's your plan?" said Sasuke, looking down at the two of them arguing. "What are we going to do now? Throw it at Gaara and hope he's poisonous?"

The frog huffed. "Don't throw me at him if he's poisonous!"

Sasuke blinked. "You know what? You both deserve each other. Morons."

The frog harrumphed. "What'd you say? You better not disrespect amphibians!" It stuck its tongue out at Sasuke.

Naruto looked at his hand, fuming. "Damn it! After all that training, why won't it work? How else am I going to save Sakura-chan?"

"Save her?" sneered Gaara. "Don't make me laugh. I fight only for myself." The sand flexed again, generating another sand limb to replace the one that the explosive tags had removed. Gaara drew his now-matching arms back and whipped them forwards again. "Suna Shuriken(1)!" Darts made of sand flew out from the back of his arms towards where Naruto, Sasuke and the frog were standing.

He's got more weapons now? thought Naruto as he snatched up the frog before leaping away to safety. At this rate, there's not going to be a tree left standing. He felt something impact on his back, then he was forcibly stopped by a tree branch.

Sasuke skidded to a halt beside him. "Naruto!" We're out of options. It's got to be chidori. And for that, I'm going to need Naruto to distract Gaara and keep him in position. He's too powerful for me to attack directly anymore.

Naruto rolled carefully onto his knees, letting the frog down. "I know, I know." He looked up at where Gaara was and shivered. Even like this, his eyes still look lonely. He's got a monster inside him, like me, but he doesn't fight it, he lets it win. I used to hate everyone, and didn't know why they hated me. They turned their backs on me for something that wasn't even my choice. His eyes roamed to Sasuke. Then I started to find people who didn't see that. Iruka-sensei and old man Hokage at first, but then Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei saw me for myself. Sakura-chan even cared enough about me to push me away from Gaara's attack and take it herself. To them, I'm not the monster the rest of the village sees but someone to care about. With them by my side, it doesn't matter that there's a monster fox inside me, or what the village thinks. I'm not alone anymore. He stood slowly, clenching his fists. Gaara never found people like them. He's still in that dark hell I used to be in. I don't know what happened to him but he's been alone and has suffered for it. He's never had anyone else and so can only believe in himself. He's trapped in the hell I escaped from.

"Naruto!" Sasuke shoved his shoulder hard. "Snap out of it! This isn't the time to go spacing out, remember?"

Gaara laughed. "What's wrong? Are you afraid of me, Uzumaki Naruto? Are you going to fight only for yourself or for each other? Fight only for yourself, that's what makes a person strong!" The inhuman face split into a wide grin. "If you won't fight me for yourself, I'll go find the woman you left behind and kill her. That way we can fight without distractions."

Naruto growled. "You leave Sakura-chan out of this!" He leapt forwards, ignoring Sasuke's protests. "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu!(2)" Fifty Narutos appeared in clouds of smoke, all intent on finishing Gaara so that he could no longer threaten someone who had given up so much for Naruto.

Gaara drew back slightly, inhaling. "Fuuton – Mugen Saijin Daitoppa!(3)" Several mouths appeared over Gaara's sand-covered body, all of them inhaling. Gaara held the breath then blew out, sending streams of hot, sandy air out with enough force to destroy all of the bunshin Naruto had created and slamming the original Naruto into another tree, along with Sasuke. "I'll play around with you so you don't die just yet. I can't wait to see which of you gives up first and runs away." He knocked Naruto flying with another Suna Shuriken attack, which Sasuke dodged using his sharingan.

Naruto pushed himself back to his feet. "That's enough." He looked over at Sasuke. "I don't want to lose to this creep, even if I die. He's threatened Sakura-chan for the last time."

Sasuke nodded firmly, sharingan blazing. "I never want to see someone important to me die in front of my eyes again. It ends now." And Naruto finally seems focused on the job. Whatever Gaara made him think about, he's decided to put behind him for now. Now's the time to forget any 'rules' and just stop him. "Let's do this."

A person important to him? Naruto grinned slightly, not taking his eyes off Gaara. It's about time Sasuke let us in like that. "Right. He's like me, feeling the same sadness and loneliness all his life. That's why I thought he was strong, because he fought only for himself. But that's not what being strong means. You can't become truly strong if you only fight for yourself." He looked at Sasuke. "And that's why we're going to win. We're not fighting for ourselves. We're fighting for Sakura-chan, and for each other." Naruto slammed his hands together in the seal of the ram, and started focusing all the chakra he could manage, converting a vast portion of his stamina in the process. "I'll get you your opening, Sasuke."

Sasuke looked at Naruto in disbelief. Where is all this chakra coming from? It's not the mysterious red stuff, but Naruto's own. How much must he have? He shook his head, then brought his hands up in front of him, his fingers flicking through his own sequence of seals.

"We've got one shot at this," said Naruto. "So don't you screw it up, Sasuke." He grinned and switched his hands into another hand-seal. "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" There was a loud bang and suddenly the area was filled with what Sasuke estimated must be two hundred copies of Naruto. The original Naruto grinned and pointed at Gaara. "Sorry to keep you waiting. This is where the Uzumaki Naruto Ninja Chronicles begin!"

Sasuke watched, letting chakra for chidori start to dance over his palm as he held it in front of him. This is impressive. I never thought you'd be capable of this, Naruto, but enough grandstanding. Get me that opening. He tried to ignore the faint pains in his neck from the cursed seal that signalled to him that he was nearing his limit.

"All right, everyone! Let's do this!" Naruto gestured forwards and the copies leapt. "Fly!" Sasuke resisted the urge to cover his ears as all two hundred Narutos called out together. "Naruto Ninja Chronicles!" Together, moving as one, they drew shuriken and bombarded Gaara with them. "The No-Escape Shuriken Chapter!"

Sasuke saw Gaara move his limbs up to block again, but before they could absorb the shuriken the Narutos were upon him, striking home with a kick on each syllable. "U-zu-ma-ki!" The remaining clones fell upon him, their arms striking out in a flurry of blows. "Naruto Two-Thousand Hits!"

There! Sasuke's sharingan showed him that not one of the Narutos currently hitting Gaara was the real one, and so would offer no resistance. He started his run forwards, pushing down the thought of Naruto stealing an idea from his preliminary fight. There's my opening. He brought his arm forwards, the clone bodies evaporating as the glowing blue chakra impacted on them, and he shoved his arm through Gaara's sand, shearing off an arm and the tail in one fluid movement. He landed on a branch behind Gaara, breathing hard as the chakra dissipated from his hand.

Two more Narutos surged forwards towards the reeling Gaara, punching his ruined body into the air. "Plus One Chapter!" Gaara fell from the trees, unable to move for the damage he had taken.

Sasuke stood slowly, panting. The mark on his neck felt like fire and he quickly released his sharingan. That's it. That's my limit. He moved his right hand to rub the injuries on his left, which had reopened again at the punishment of ripping through the sand. He looked up at the Narutos, unable to distinguish the real one without his sharingan. "Keep going! I've cut away the armour on his left."

The Narutos nodded together and launched themselves downwards, towards Gaara. "This time we'll use our legs and do a four-thousand hit combo!"

"There's no way I can lose to this guy!" screamed Gaara from the forest floor. There was an explosion followed by chaos as a huge spike of sand shot into the sky, destroying the oncoming copies. Sasuke saw the real Naruto get knocked into a tree trunk and hurried to check him.

"Oi, Naruto. Still with me?" Sasuke bent down to check Naruto, forgetting to keep an expression of indifference. If I have to, I'll fight with this seal to protect both Naruto and Sakura, but I'd rather I wasn't pushed to that.

"Yo," said Naruto, shakily. "That was some teamwork, huh?" He shook his head slightly, then rubbed the back of it with his hand. "I'm getting pretty sick of hitting all these trees." He looked up through the smoke. "What the hell is that? Do you think that's the demon from inside of him?"

Sasuke looked up and shuddered. As the smoke cleared, a huge monster made of sand was revealed. Every step it took made the ground shake, and Sasuke crouched low to stop himself falling from the branch. As his eyes picked out more detail, he realised he was looking at a hugely deformed racoon or tanuki. We're dead, he realised. Even with the cursed seal, I don't think I could hurt that and Naruto probably can't make enough bunshin to attack the whole of that thing at once.

Gaara's voice came echoing, hugely magnified through the forest. "I didn't expect to have to show this form to you two." The giant reached out a hand, and sand started spilling through the branches of the trees, trying to capture Sasuke and Naruto.

Sasuke leapt for it, followed closely by Naruto. "Damn! We have to withdraw, Naruto."

"Like hell we will," spat back Naruto, keeping his eyes on dodging the sand. "We have to stand and fight. Else he's going to turn that thing on Konoha and everyone there."

Sasuke shook his head. "How can we fight something that size? I can't do much more than run at this point. Any more and the cursed seal will escape."

Naruto stopped running and stood on a branch, looking up. "Sorry, Sasuke, but this is my fight alone now." Out of the corner of his eye he saw Sasuke drop to stand beside him, but did not look away from Gaara. "I want you to protect Sakura-chan, no matter what crazy stuff happens, okay? I'll never forgive you if she gets hurt. You trust me, right?"

What sort of question is that? Sasuke nodded. "I trust you, Naruto." And the only way Sakura's going to get hurt is if I'm dead. He looked up at Gaara as he asked Naruto, "So what's your plan?"

Naruto took a deep breath. "I'm going to summon."

Sasuke paused, then nodded. "Okay, Naruto. It's up to you." He turned away as he saw Naruto bite his thumb. "And I'll protect Sakura from anything that might happen as a consequence." He started to move away from Naruto, before pausing. I can't leave it like this. I need to show him that I believe he can do this, no matter what. Unbidden, the phrase Naruto used to wish him luck against Gaara rose in his mind. Sasuke turned back, smirking. "Oh, and Naruto?" He saw Naruto pause in his hand-seals. "Kick his ass."

Naruto grinned. "Oh, you bet." He slammed his hand down on the tree branch. "Kuchiyose no jutsu!"

Sasuke fled as he felt space warping around Naruto, heading back to where he had left Sakura in relative safety unconscious. He wrapped an arm around her in preparation to move and looked back, ignoring the mocking that Gaara was giving. Amazing. I never thought coming into this mission that Naruto could do something like this. Is he really the same Naruto that fell for Kakashi's tricks in the bell test?

Looming above him, almost matching the sand monster in size, was a red frog wearing a kimono and smoking a pipe. As Sasuke watched, the giant frog breathed out a gust of tobacco smoke, and, as it tilted its head, Sasuke could just about make out a blob of orange perched on its head. It really was Naruto that did it. He could only hear the frog's side of the conversation, but it allowed him to learn that the demon Naruto was facing was called Shukaku of the Sand. Sasuke pulled Sakura close, into his arms, and started to carry her away, half-listening to Naruto and the giant frog argue about whether or not they should fight. Figures that Naruto summons a creature as stubborn and stupid as he is. If they do fight, there's no way that I want to be that close. Sasuke found an ancient and sturdy-looking tree from which he could still watch what was going on, settling into a crouch behind it while still holding Sakura and ready to move the instant it looked like their viewpoint was no longer safe.

As he watched, the frog used a knife to cut the tanuki's arm off, the impact of the severed arm causing a gust of hot, sandy air to almost blast him from the branch. Sasuke used some of the last of his chakra to stick to the branch while cradling Sakura's face against his chest, shielding her with his body from the sand and wind. There seemed to be much arguing after that on all sides and Sasuke tuned it out in favour of checking Sakura's pulse and pupil response, although he was careful not to take his gaze off of the fighting giants for more than a few seconds at a time. He could see a streak of red appear on the forehead of the tanuki and, from the explanation the frog was giving to Naruto, it seemed that it was Gaara trying to fully wake the demon and let it take control. Sasuke shuddered at the idea of someone giving up control like that so willingly. I'd never let this seal take total control of me by choice. As he watched, the fight started again and the tanuki seemed even more vicious in his attacks, using more of the sand and wind combination attacks that Gaara had been using. When mixed with the frog's water-based counter-attacks, they together drenched the area like a monsoon of sandy water. Sasuke bowed his head over Sakura's, protecting her and trying to ignore the grating on his hurt arm. Please, Naruto. Finish this quickly. He shuddered as another wave passed through. I can't take much more of this while protecting Sakura like I promised.

As Sasuke listened, it became clear from the side of the conversation he could hear that Gaara was asleep and that the way to break the attack would be to wake him. As he watched, the frog tried to grab on to the tanuki but was unable to grip, leading them to need to retreat. The frog told Naruto that in order to hold on he would need claws and fangs to grip, rather than webbed feet. Sasuke tried not to sigh as the frog instructed Naruto to use a combination Henge to give them the grip they needed. Naruto's hardly the person to ask to do that. For all the time he must have spent on his Oiroke no jutsu, Naruto really doesn't have a grasp of the Henge no jutsu. Watching the frog lunge forward, Sasuke almost felt his heart stop as the result came flying out of the smoke that the technique had created.

"Kyuu… Kyuubi?" Every child in Konoha knew the tale of how Kyuubi no Youko, the demon nine-tailed fox, had attacked the village and how, in a fight to the death, the Fourth Hokage had defeated it. Why would Naruto choose such a form? I was barely three months old when it happened. He couldn't have been much older. As he looked at the snarling muzzle of the fox, Sasuke was suddenly forcibly reminded of the red chakra, the shame shade as this false-Kyuubi's coat, that had spilled from Naruto in his fight against Neji. Sasuke closed his eyes, replaying the memory that the sharingan had burned into his mind, slowing it down. There was a face there, just for an instant. The face of a wild animal behind him. Then it dissolved into those lashing tendrils. He froze the image in his mind and counted. Nine. Nine lines of red chakra. His eyes snapped open and he looked up again. "Naruto… What are you?"

The tanuki made another attack on the fox, distracting Sasuke's train of thought as he tried to protect Sakura from the wind. Looking back up, Sasuke saw the fox sink its teeth into the tanuki before it vanished in a cloud of smoke, returning to the form of a frog. Looking up, he saw a speck that he took to be Naruto leap towards the head of the tanuki. Sasuke held his breath. Come on, Naruto. After what seemed to Sasuke like an eternity, the tanuki began to crumble back to sand, causing a vast dust-cloud that was exasperated by the frog's disappearance. In the confusion he lost track of Naruto's location, which worried him.

Naruto must be as empty as I am now, else I'd see something. Sasuke moved to stand slowly and adjusted Sakura, so that she laid across his back while he held her legs. He closed his eyes, pulling the last amount of chakra he could use before breaking the seal to strengthen his legs, dropping to the forest floor and running to where he had seen the tanuki collapse.

As Sasuke ran, another joined him. It took him a moment but he remembered that the small dog had arrived in Sakura's arms, carried by her. "Hey, you. Can you help me find Naruto?"

The dog grunted. "I'm not 'hey you', I'm Pakkun. That kid sure did well against that demon." He took the lead from Sasuke. "He's this way. Don't wear yourself out, brat. That's what your sensei was trying to stop when he sent us after you."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Thanks for your concern." He followed Pakkun, taking pleasure in the fact that his mind was too tired to go back to the worrying image of the Kyuubi for now.

"Hnn… Sasuke-kun?" asked Sakura fuzzily, starting to stir against his back.

Sasuke slowed slightly. "Sakura. I need you to hold onto me a while longer, okay? We're going to find Naruto."

"Naruto…" Sakura's arms tightened around his neck and Sasuke was glad when he felt her rest her head against his shoulder, blowing cool air over the seal as she breathed. "Naruto always needs your help, Sasuke-kun. He causes you so much trouble."

It's probably just the concussion talking, Sasuke told himself. She doesn't really mean that. I'm just glad she's awake, even though she's obviously not okay just yet. Satisfied that she had a good grip on him, Sasuke sped back up again, trying to ignore the burning in the muscles of his legs and arms at having to carry her while so near exhaustion.

Pakkun sniffed slightly. "He's over here." He dived through a nearby bush and Sasuke followed him, wanting to get to Naruto quickly.

"Don't come any nearer!"

Sasuke and Pakkun stopped at the yell from Gaara, worried. Gently, Sasuke lowered Sakura to the ground. "Stay here, okay? Pakkun will watch over you. It seems the fight isn't over yet." He stood slowly, ignoring Sakura's protests, and walked forwards, only to find Naruto inching his way painfully towards Gaara, using his chin to pull his body along.

"The pain of being alone…" said Naruto weakly, looking up and seeing only Gaara. "It's completely out of this world, isn't it?"

Sasuke stopped, feeling his heart constrict at those heartfelt words. Naruto…

"I don't know why," continued Naruto, his voice cracking, not sensing Sasuke's intrusion on the scene. "But I understand your feelings so much, it actually hurts. But I have people who are important to me now." Sasuke saw him try to raise himself up off the ground. "I won't let you hurt my important people. If you do, I'll stop you even if I have to kill you." He flopped back down and resumed his painful inching towards Gaara.

"Why?" asked Gaara. "Why can you do such things for strangers?"

"That hell… That loneliness… They saved me from it and acknowledged my existence. They're important to me. That's why."

Sasuke found himself moving forwards before he even realised it. "That's enough, Naruto." He dropped to one knee next to Naruto and placed a hand on his back, trying to show Naruto that he was there and that Naruto was no longer alone. "Sakura's okay, she didn't get hurt. She woke up just a little while ago." He smiled a little as Naruto looked up at him, his blue eyes almost overflowing with tears. "She's been asking for you." He pressed his hand against Naruto's back. "It's okay. It's over. He can't fight anymore."

Naruto's eyes started to lose their focus and he smiled. "I'm glad." As Sasuke watched, Naruto's eyes drifted shut and his head lolled to one side.

Sasuke kept his hand on Naruto's back, turning as he saw two figures out of the corner of his eye.

Temari and Kankuro watched him back warily, tensed for the attack.

"That's enough," said Gaara, tiredly. "Let's stop."

The two Sand ninjas turned to look at Gaara in shock. "Gaara…" said Kankuro, who then stooped to put one of Gaara's arms over his shoulder and lift him up while Temari watched Sasuke in case he tried anything. Together, the three ninjas stood shoulder to shoulder and looked back at Sasuke.

Sasuke met their gaze calmly. Truce. We've all been through too much to carry this on. He nodded slowly and was relieved to see Temari do the same, before the three of them disappeared into the trees. Sasuke assumed they were fleeing for home and moved to check Naruto. The thing that most caught his attention was the huge bloody gash on Naruto's forehead, and missing forehead protector. He once risked his life against a jounin to get that back. For him to lose it here… Sasuke's head snapped up. "Pakkun! Sakura!"

Pakkun led Sakura out from under cover after a few moments. Sakura was weaving slightly from side to side as she walked, and she held a hand to her head. Sasuke instantly rose and helped her to sit down again. "Sit down, Sakura. You must still be dizzy."

Sakura looked up at him as she sat, her eyes slightly unfocused. "That's okay, Sasuke-kun. My head just hurts a little. I'm fine, the ground just keeps swaying."

Sasuke nodded. Concussion. And she's at least awake so I don't have to try to carry them both. "Pakkun, you have Naruto's scent. Can you go find his forehead protector? It fell off during that fight."

Pakkun nodded. "I'll go look. You should start back for Konoha, Sasuke. From the look of the chaos when we left, a recovery team is going to be a long time coming." He sniffed the air, then ran off towards the swathe of destroyed forest, intent on his task.

Sasuke moved back to Naruto, his knees protesting as he bent back down again. "Don't go falling asleep, Sakura. We'll be leaving here soon." He reached down and rolled Naruto carefully onto his back, checking for injury. Finding none, he carefully hoisted Naruto onto his back and grimaced. Damn it, Naruto. You really need to cut back on the ramen. You're too damn heavy. He tugged Naruto's arms around his neck and was relieved that they tightened around him slightly. So he's not so out of it that he doesn't recognise it's me. He stood carefully, trying not to overbalance as his abused body complained at having to carry someone even heavier than Sakura had been. "Sakura?"

Sakura stood shakily, leaning against the tree. "We're going home, aren't we, Sasuke-kun?"

Sasuke nodded. "Will you be okay?"

Sakura looked down, blushing. "I'm still shaky. I don't know if I can keep my balance."

Sasuke sighed and walked over to her. "Here. Take my shoulder and lean on me." He offered her the shoulder opposite to the one that Naruto was resting on and felt something strange as her fingers wrapped around it. My precious people. We're all battered and exhausted, but whole. He took a step forwards and suddenly the weight of Sakura leaning against him, and Naruto resting against his back, did not seem too heavy at all.
