Honesty is the best Policy Chapter 15: Old Revenge : New Vengence, a naruto fanfic

Author's notes: OOKAYY well this chapter may appear a little confusing. This chapter starts off ahead in time and then explains the events that occurred in the beginning.

----------------------------------------------------------------

With such force and impact Sasuke was thrown back a few meters and stopped by a building, he slammed against the hard concrete wall as he fell to the ground. The wall above him dented inward from where he collided with it.Naruto was sent flying the other way. He crashed into a few buildings before eventually stopping. The debre toppled down on him.

Sasuke shakily stood to his feet and brushed off the dirt. He then made his way over to where a certain Kunoichi lay motionless. He looked down and examined the situation. There was a flash of emotion across his face but it quickly vanished. His oynx eyes stared down, he wanted to cry, he wanted to scream and yell but he didn't. He kept tlling himself he didn't care and that it didn't matter. Sasuke cringed in pain as he held his head. No sound escaped his mouth, but he was in some sort of pain. He closed his eyes tight and suddenly opened them. The sharingan had changed, he no longer possesed the regular sharingan, Sasuke now had the Mangekyo. (sp)

A few moments later Naruto rose to his feet as he leaned against the wall for support. He looked over at and saw Sasuke standing not too far away. Naruto lowered his head then rememberd what had happend. He quickly searched the surrounding area, he spotted someone laying in the middle of him and Sasuke. He saw pink and red. His eyes widened as he staggered forward. He grew closer as he fell to the ground. He pulled himself closer and finally stopped. He examined the kunoichi that lay in front of him closely. He softly shook her trying to awake her, he then checked her pulse as his eyes began to swell with tears. There she lay in a pool of her own blood, no pulse, no warmth, no life.

"Sakura...SAKURA !!!!!!!!"

Naruto yelled into the sky.

------------------------------------------------

The ground rumbled as Sakura slammed her fist into it. The ground opened up and fell apart as a number of sound and mist shinobi were magnled in between the seperated earth. She took out several kunai as she fanned them out between her fingers on both hands and back flipped dodging numbers of weapons. She threw the kunai with such speed and precsion they took out several ninja by direct contact to their hearts. Sakura smirked in satisfaction as she began flipping backwards dodging other attacks.

Naruto made hand signs as suddenly thousands of Naruto's appeared. They all attacked teh ninja that swarmed them taking out severe numbers of the sound and mist ninja. Clouds of puff erupted every few minutes as a enemy ninja would take out a Naruto clone. Naruto held his hand to the side as antoher clone stood beside him moving his hands quickly over Naruto's palm. Chakra began to gather as Naruto charged forward towards a larger ninja. "REASENGAN !" Naruto yelled as the gatherd ball of chakra tore through the ninja and he shot back 50 yards laying dead on the ground. Naruto smirked as he ducked dodging a few stray kunai's. He looked around quickly as he saw all his comrades in battle. Every ninja in Konoha was fighting here and now to protect it and it's people. Naruto clenched his hand tighter as he spotted ninja charging towards him. He let out a yell as he brought his fist forward comming in contact with a running ninja knocking him to the ground. He made hand signs as he continued to fight. Naruto was not going down without a fight, he would give his last breath to defend his country and his friends.

Tenten held two kunai's as she fought of enemy ninja's. She looked at Neji and Lee as she gave them the signal. They nodded as they understood. They moved in around her as they began fighting off the ninja pushing them back leaving some space around Tenten. She pulled out two large scrolls. She placed them each beside her standing vertical. She stood in the middle of them as she was crouched down, she made a few handsigns as she suddenly jumped into the air and the scrolls unfolded rising with her. They each took the form of Dragons made out of mist. "Rising Twin Dragons!" Tenten yelled as thousands of weapons came hurdling from the scrolls and Tenten threw most of them. A few moments passed as Tenten fell back to the ground and landed on one knee. She had taken out a good number of ninja's with her technique.

Kakashi stood surrounded by enemy ninja's. His figure flashed as he appeared to be in the same spot. Suddenly, all the ninja that were surrounding him fell to the ground as they began bleeding. Kakashi held a bloodied kunai as he dissapeared in a cloud of smoke and reappeared elsewhere. He turned upon feeling the ground shake. He saw four large men with armour and each a large weapon. He recognized one of them as the one atop the cliff where him and Sakura went to take out the ninja creating the mist. He quickly jumped to the side dodging an attack from one of the large men. He made some hand signs as he held his hand out in front of him and he grabbed his upper arm with his other hand. Suddenly the familar sound of chirping birds was heard. Kakashi brought his arm back as he charged straight towards one of the large men. The ground was being torn up as this great big ball of blue electricity flew over it. "Chidori!" Kakashi yelled as it ripped right through the man. The other three now turned their attention to Kakashi.

Suddenly, a large boulder came flying through the air and crushed one of the large men that stood before Kakashi. There was a flash of blue and orange as someone ran by Kakashi with their arm outstretched and as the person came in contact with the large armored man the man's whole chest and armor ripped to pieces and he was knocked back several feet, not to get up again. The last large armored man began charging at Kakashi as it suddenly stopped dead in its tracks. There was a flash of green as it circled the large armored man over and over until it was only a blur when finall the man dropped to the ground.

The green blur stopped as soemone came into focus. The source of the blue flash stood to his feet as someone appeared from above. In front of Kakashi stood Sakura, Lee and Naruto with wide grins on thier mouths.

"You looked like you could use a hand..or three."

Naruto said with a smile. Kakashi smirked under his mask as he quickly took out three kunai and in an instant they were thrown and three ninja dropped right behind Naruto,Sakura and Lee. "You looked like you could've used a hand." Kakashi said with a smirk beneathe his mask as Sakura, Lee and Naruto all grinned and dissapeared to go on fighting.

The Konoha ninja fought with all their strength and all their heart when suddenly everyone stopped all at the same time. Their attention was diverted to something else, something bigger. There was a loud roar as they knew that wasn't good. The ground trembled as six gigantic snake creatures broke through the walls of Konoha heading inside.

Sakura, Naruto, Lee, Neji, Tenten and Kakashi all landed on seperate buildings and looked at each other. They all nodded in a silent agreement and understanding as they dissapeared each reappearing in a different location in front of a snake-monster.

Neji stood in front of the snake monster as he slowly unsheathed his new katana. He held it readyed as he then charged at the snake. The snake would swing its head down several times in an attempt to swallow Neji. Each time Neji avoided the attack and slashed at the sanke. After several minutes the snake had been slashed so many times it finally dropped to the ground. Neji landed atop a building as he sheathed his sword and smirked in satisfaction, he jumped into the air dissapearing.

Lee stood in front of the snake and reached into his leg warmers pulling out two large belts of weights. He smirked as he dissapeared in a blurr of green. This blurr of green appeared in different locations all around the snake. The snake was knocked every which way by the attacks from Lee. He made a hand sign as he opened the third gate. He continued executing a number of different attacks until finally the snake was beeaten so badly it fell upon the last hit from Lee. Lee landed breathing heavily as he stood in his "nice guy pose" and shortly jumped into the air dissapearing.

Tenten pulled out a large scroll she held on her back. She jumped into the air as she unrolled it and it swirrled all around her. She bit her thumb and dragged it across the scroll leaving the mark of her blood. She made a hand sign as a puff of smoke appeared and a massive ball and chain was gripped firmly in her hand. She swung it above her head and leapt into the air bringing the ball and spiked chain down upon the snakes head as it tore right through the snakes skin and was embedded in his head. She tore it out causing a whole bunch of skin to rip away from the snake. he repeated this many times over until the snake was finally dead.

Kakashi watched as the snake made it way towards him. He smirked beneathe his mask as he lifted his headband and both his eyes were visible. One eye, the shraingan eye, the sharingan wasn't the normal kind, Kakashi had activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. He held both his hands out as in each hand there were sparks of electricity. He had created two seperate chidori. He slowly brought his hands together as he fused them. He focused his sharingan as time seemingly slowed down. Kakashi charged forwards with his super-chidori. He thrusted his arm forwards as teh chidori tore right through the head of the snake. Kakashi landed on one knee as the snake fell to the ground.

Naruto made a hand sign as multiple clones were created in a puff of smoke. They all pulled out several shurikan and kunai's. All the Naruto's sprinted forwards and leapt into the air. They all simultaneously threw the kunai's and shurikans towards the snake's head. Naruto landed on the ground as the snake frantically swung his head rom side to side collapsing buildings until it finally came crashing down to the ground.

Sakura stood atop a building leveled with the snake's head. She pulled out a Fuuma shurikan as she fanned it out. She sprinted forwards and threw the shurikan up ointo the air. She leapt off the building and flipped avoiding an attack from the snake. She outstretched her arm as she grabbed the fuuma shurikan that was in the air. She brought it beneathe her as she landed at the top of the snakes head. Teh fuuma shurikan dug into the snake's head as she brought her weight downwards and dragged the shurikan all through the snaked body cutting it open literally head to toe. She leanded a few feet away as the snake collided with the ground. She smirked as she suddenly looked up. She spotted two people. Her smirk immeadiatly faded. She threw the fumma shurikan straight towards them, both figures dissapeared and reappeared behind her.

"Hello Sakura." Said one of the males as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He smirked at her. Sakura turned and glared at both of them. "Ssssakura. " The man with the long black haired hissed with a wicked grin. "How lovely it is to see you again." he said as his snake-like eyes fixated upon her. Sakura clenched her hand into a fist. "Orochimaru, I'm going to kill you !" Sakura yelled as she charged forwards in a fit of rage. She got close to Orochimaru and was stopped and pulled the other way. She struggled and finally looked up to see who had pulled her back. "Kakashi-sensai ?" Sakura said wondering why he had stopped her from attacking. She then turned her attention to where Orochimaru was standing and saw two new people in front of her, standing in between her and Orochimaru.

Both ninja stood from their crouching position as they faced Orochimaru. Orochimaru stared at the two before him as his eyes widened for a minute and then relaxed. "You two again.." he said. " You won't get away this time, it ends here !" the blonde kunoichi said. "For you maybe." Orochimaru sneered. "We're in perfect condition this time, all of us, so I don't see how you're going to get away. " The white haired sanin stated. "Two against one, I hardly see how that's fair. " Orochimaru said with a smirk.

"Fair?" The blone sanin said with sarcasim. "Don't you start on fair, just prepare to die !" She yelled as she charged forward leaping into the air and bringing the back of her heel down into the ground. Orochimaru and Kabuto each leapt seperate ways as there was a creator where they were standing only moments ago. "Your anger is your downfall Tsunade." Orochimaru hissed as he opened his mouth and a sword slowly appeared. He grabbed it as he swung it around himself and clutched it tight. He swung it as Tsunade jumped back avoiding the swing. She pulled her fist back as she charged forwards and threw some punches. Orochimaru dodged the hits and countereed them by slashing Tsuande with his poison drenched sword a few times. Tsuande flipped backwards landing on one knee as she began breathing heavily. She examined her wounds and knew if she used anymore chakra she would drain herself quicker and would only ilve for a few hours.

Jiraiya stepped forward as he made a few hand signs and his hair begame much longer and sharper. He charged forward as he ducked avoiding a swing from Orochimaru's sword. He swung his hair and it hit Orochimaru right in the side ripping into his skin. Orochimaru groaned in pain as he swung his sword and Jiraiya leaped back avoiding the hit. He landed beside Tsunade as he looked down and saw that her condition was not good. It would only be a matter of minutes until she wouldn't be able to move.

Sakura broke free from Kakashi's grip as she ran forward and kneeled beside Tsunade. "Tsunade-sama!" she yelled as she made a few hand signs and her hands began glwoing a pale green as she tried to heal her wounds. Tsunade pushed Sakura's hand away. "Sakura..don't. Save your energy. " Sakura looked at her sensai wide-eyed. "But sensai.." Tsunade looked up at Sakura. "It's okay Sakura.." she said with a smile as she placed her hand on Sakura's shoulder. Tsunade then rose to her feet and in an instant, impossible for the human eye to see Orochimaru moved heading straight towards Tsunade with impecible speed. He yelled as he drove his sword right through her chest. Or at least what he thought was her chest.

Tsunade stood shocked. Her face and clothes splattered with blood. She shakily looked down.

Is...is this my blood? But..it can't be.. I don't feel any pain.

Tsuande thought to herself. She looked up in front of her as she noticed who was standing right there. "Jiraiya.." she said as she saw the poison drenched sword right through his abdomen. Jiraiya simply stood there with his head bowed and a smirk on his face.

Naruto sprinted towards Sakura and Kakashi with Neji,Tenten and Lee behind him. He came to a sudden stop as he saw what was happening. "Ero-sanin!" he yelled sprinting forward. Jiraiya lifted his hand as Naruto immeadiatly stopped. Orochimaru smirked as he pulled out his sword and leapt backwards. Jiraiya stood for a few seconds. The metalic headband that he wore on his head slipped off and fell to the ground. Jiraiya coughed up some blood as he fell to his knee's. Tsunade rushed and bent down in front of him. "Jiraiya you stupid fool ! Why would you do that ! Why !" she yelled at him holding back the tears. Jiraiya looked up at Tsunade with a weak smile as he began falling to the side. Tsunade caught him and held him in her lap. Naruto made his way over as he stood beside his sensai. "Why sensai.." Naruto said fighting the tears. Jiraiya laughed a bit, through the pain. "You foolish kid...after all these years you still don't get it. You never pay attention and listen when I teach you." Jiraiya said with a smirk. He then turned his attention to Tsunade as he placed his hand on her cheek. "You old broad.." Jiraiya said with a smile as his expression softened. "No matter how old, I still love you..." he said weakly as his hand began to slowly drop and his eyes closed. Tsunade felt her eyes water as she forced back the tears.

She slowly set Jiraiya down as she rose to her feet. She turned and faced Orochimaru as she took off her green gambling jacket. Her head was hung low asher eyes were covered. She threw her jacket to the side and brought her hands together. She looked up as the triangualr seal on her forehead slowly began to pulsate and spread all over her face. Orochimaru took a step back as he looked at Tsunade. Sakura stood wide-eyed as she knew that this would be the last time Tsunade ever released the seal. "Sensai no !" Sakura yelled. Orochimaru smirked as he knew Tsunade was growing weak and didn't have much time left before her body collapsed in on itself. Tsunade was gone in a flash and reappeared in front of Orochimaru punching his face with full force. Orochimaru's face twisted and turned within Tsunade's fist as he flew back a few yards when he finally stopped himself. He stood as he began laughing maniaclly and he charged forward with his sword drawn. Tsunade shifted to the side as Orochimaru anticipated this and turned around swinging his sword as it slashed at Tsunade's throat. Her wound began to heal instantly, she grabbed his wrist and snapped it backwards braking it immeadiatly. Orochimari scowled in pain as he thrusted his blade forwards and Tsunade dodged it easily. She flipped over him and grabbed him by the back of his neck as she tightend her grip and his neck cracked slightly. Suddenly, Tsunade was hit from behind which forced her to let go of Orochimaru.

Kabuto smirked as he jumped back. Tsunade turned as he had severed several of her more important organs from behind. He was a little off from severing her heart. Tsunade's organs began to repair themself when she suddenly turned and held out her hands holding Orochimaru's blade and preventing it from entering her body. She could easily overpower him. She looked into his eyes as he stared maniacially back into hers. She could remember the days when her, Jiraiya and him were all younger and together as a team going on missions together and helping Konoha. She rememberd when Orochimaru left Konoha and betrayed them. She rememberd when Naruto and Jiraiya came to get her to become Hokage for Konoha. She recalled when Sakura asked to be taught by her and all the years she trained Sakura and became like a mom to Sakura. She glanced over at Jiraiya's lifeless body, he saw Sakura who was itching to just jump in and help. Naruto who was determined to fight Orochimaru and proclaim revenge for killing Jiraiya. Kakashi who watched over Sakura and Naruto and who was a dear friend of hers. Tsunade turned back to Orochimaru as she smiled and let go of the blade as it charged straight through her chest piercing her heart.

Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi all stood shocked. Blood dripped out of Tsunade's mouth as her head hung low and her eyes were covered and dark. There was a smile on her face as she looked up at Orochimaru with a smile still present on her face. Orochimaru pulled the sword out as Tsunade collapsed to the ground. Sakura ran over and kneeled beside her as her eyes began watering. "Sakura." Tsunade said looking up at her. "Sensei.." Sakura said holding Tsunade in her arms. "You have to promise me you'll save Konoha...promise me..." Tsunade said holding Sakura's hand coughing up blood. "But sensei I.." "Promise me !" Tsunade said. Sakura nodded her head. Naruto and Kakashi stood above her as Tsunade looked up at them. " Naruto, you'll be a great Hokage someday." Naruto smiled. "Kakashi...take care of them.." Kakashi nodded. Tsunade looked up at Sakura one last time as she smiled and slowly closed her eyes and her body was lifeless. Sakura's eyes became exremely watery as she picked up Tsunade and brought her over to where Jiraiya's body was.

Sakura then turned as she looked at Naruto. "Let me have this one. " she said as Naruto respectfully nodded his head. Sakura walked towards Orochimaru as she stopped a few feet away, her head hung low as her hait covered her face. "You've taken away everyone I've ever loved. You've ruined my life, and the lives of everyone around, you've attacked my home..killed my teacher and brainwashed the man I love. " As she was talking symbols began to appear on her skin. Each symbol represented and element and glowed in the colour that respected that element. The water symbol was glowing blue, the fire red, the air white and the earth green. She lifted her head as her hair fell back into place. Her eyes were glowing white as she stared at Orocimaru.

Orochimaru stood shocked as he recognized this power Sakura was demonstrating. "The..scrolls." he hissed as Kabuto glanced over at his shocked face then back at Sakura. Sakura held her hand out as a giant tital wave formed behind her as she pushed her hand forward and it passed right through her not effecting her as it headed straight for Orochimaru. Orochimaru's eyes widened as it swept him away. Kabuto jumped up grabbing Orochimaru's arm pulling him onto a tree branch above.

Sakura held out her hand as the water froze and became ice. Shards of ice broke apart and floated in the air as Sakura closed her fist tight and they all shot forward towards Orochimaru and Kabuto. They jumped to avoid them but were cut numerous times by the sharp shards. Kabuto dissapeared and reappeared behind Sakura attempting to cut her major arteries. He was suddenly stopped as an orange blur flashed by and Kabuto's hand slowly detatched from his arm. Kabuto stared horrified at his arm as his hand lay on the ground. Sakura turned to the side to see Naruto holding a kunai with a wide smirk on his face.

Sakura turned back to Orochimaru as he held his sword tightly. "You're good little girl, but not good enough. " He said as e charged forward so fast he was in front of her in mere milliseconds he swung his sword and there was a sound of clashing metal. Kakashi,Naruto, Lee and everyone else around stood shocked. Sakura was holding a katana against the blade of Orochimaru's.

Sakura used her strength and overpowerd Orochimaru pushing him back. She swung her sword over her head as she glared at him. Her katana had designs on it of pink cherry blossom leaves. The sheath designed the same as well. The blade also had the symbols of the four elements.

Orochimaru dissapeared reappearing again to attack Sakura, but again Sakura was prepared and she blocked the attacks. It was her turn to attack as she charged forwards in a flash of pink. She slashed at him continuous times and executed a number of different moves. She was graceful and timed her steps carefully, it looked more like a dance than anything else.

She finally flipped backwards and held her katana to the side as blood dripped off of it. On the other side Orochimaru stood breathing heavily as blood dripped from his wounds. "You bitch! I'm going to kill you !" Orochimaru shouted with a smirk as he charged forward with his snake-like tongue hanging out of his mouth. Sakura shifted to the side as the tip of the blade just caught her abdomen. She quickly turned bringing the sword down on him and he blocked it countering it by slashing Sakura's leg. Sakura jumped back as her wounds began to heal. She held her sword to the side as one by one the symbols began to glow. Soon Sakura's katana was engulfed by different coloured chakra. She looked at Orochimaru as she smirked. She charged forward in a blurr of red,green,white,blue and pink. She drove her katana straight through Orochimaru and stared into his eyes as she smirked and she used her strength and pulled the katana upwards while it was still inside of Orochimaru's body. She pulled it straight through the top and held it to the side. A few seconds passed as Orochimaru's body from his chest upwards seperated and his body fell to the ground. Sakura smirked as she turned to face Naruto and all the other faces of her stunned comrades.

"Wow." Sai simply stated as he jumped down from a building top. Sakura looked down at Orochimaru's corpse as it began to age. Kabuto stared in shock as he fell to his knee's. Naruto pulled out a kunai and drove it right through the back of Kabuto's neck and it came out the other side. Kabuto fell forward and drown in his own pool of blood.

Sakura sighed as she smiled at Naruto and everyone else. "It's over.." she said as she turned her back and began walking towards them when suddenly Orochimaru's body stood up. His body repaired itself as he stretched his neck and attempted to attack Sakura one last time when something happend. It suddenly stopped and Orochimaru's head detatched from it's body. Sakura quickly turned and the others saw nothing attack it... they then turned their attention to three individuals who stood ontop a building looking down at them when a fourth member joined them. Sakura looked up as she tried to identify who they were and who it was that just saved her. The person's features became more visible as she finally knew who it was. 'Sasuke..." she said quietly to herself.

Team Hebi suddenly dissapeared and reappeared before them. Naruto saw Sasuke as his eyes widened. "Sasuke..." he said stepping forward now standing beside Sakura. They all stared at each other for a few minutes before Karin moved forward to where Orochimaru's body lay.

Orochimaru-sama...

Sasuke raised his hand to his teamates as Jugo and Suigetsu nodded and dissapeared reappearing not to far as they began to fight off the sound and mist nin helping to protect the village. Konoha's ninja were limited and down to only 50. There were 50 ninja's against 3000 more of the enemy ninjas.

"Sasuke-" Kakashi interrupted Naruto as he placed his hand on his shoulder. "Naruto, we have to focus on saving the village first..you can deal with that later. " Naruto turned as he nodded in agreement and jumped into the air appearing not to far away beginning to fight off the ninja as Lee,Neji,Tenten and everyone else except Sakura and Sasuke left to go fight.

Sakura and Sasuke stood in front of each other as Sakura took a few more steps forward. "Have you come back to cause more problems." Sakura stated honestly as she looked down at the ground. Sasuke sighed as he crossed his arms. "We've come to help." he answerd coldly. "What for, what are you getting in return?" Sakura asked. " Why do you assume we're getting something for this.." "You've never helped us before, why start now? Is this how you're going to obtain your new power..or make you stronger..all you do is cause problems." "Me cause problems! You're the one that left me when you claimed you wanted to stay with me, remember?" Sasuke said in his monotone voice with no hint of emotion. Sakura looked up at him. "Now you know what it feels like.." she said as she turned to walk away. "I didn't leave to go be with another girl. " Sasuke snapped. Sakura stopped walking as she turned and looked at him. "What are you talking about?" "Don't play stupid Sakura, I saw you with that artist. The way he was holding you and how you were crying in his arms and spending time with him at night, yet you claim to love me." Sakura rolled her eyes. "Sai?! He was comfroting me, and I'll have you know I was crying over you. He was just there for me, to make me feel better and comfort me... something you could never do." Sakura said as she turned to leave again. "I save you all the time and make sure you live, and I don't care for you.." Sasuke snapped coldly. Sakura simply stopped and looked over her shoulder at him. "You're so annoying." She said as she turned to continue walking. Sasuke stood with no hint of emotion. He could remember back to the day when he called her annoying when she told him how she felt about her, and the look on her face, the look of hurt and rejection. He would never forget it.

Karin rolled her eyes as she watched the conversation between Sakura and Sasuke. She bent down and picked up Orochimaru's sword as she smirked whilst looking at it. She drew near to Sakura as she held the sword out of view. "You've ruined everything." Karin said coldly. Sakura stopped and turned to face Karin. "You better leave. " Sakura said glaring at her. "Oh, I don't think so." she said as she brought the sword back ready to drive it through Sakura when in an instant Sakura appeared directly in front of Karin. Karin looked down as she saw Sakura's katana right through her chest. She coughed up blood and looked up at Sakura. "But..how.." Karin said staring in awe. Sakura smirked as she pulled the katana out of Karin and turned sheathing her sword. Karin stood there for several seconds as she dropped Orochimaru's katana and collapsed to the ground.

Sasuke stood a few feet away as he watched what had just happend He appeared right in front of Sakura as he looked down at Karin then back up at Sakura and outstretched his arm and held Sakura's throat. Sakura's eyes widened as she looked at him. "You killed my teammate. " Sasuke said staring at her with his dark obsidean eyes. Sakura glared at him, " Why does it matter to you, did you love her!" she yelled trying to breathe. Sasuke tightened his grip as Sakura squirmed some more, she couldn't get a good hold on Sasuke to pull him off. Sakura looked into his onyx eyes with her deep jade eyes. Anger,hate,pain,despair, that was the story Sakura's eyes told. Without warning Sasuke threw Sakura back with such force that she crashed through a cement building.

Naruto saw happened as he immeadiatly made his way over. He rushed to the building where Sakura crashed through as he moved the debre and helped her up. "Sakura! Sakura..are you okay?" Sakura coughed as she slowly nodded. "Yah Naruto, I'm fine." she said standing up.

Naruto turned to face Sasuke as he glared at him. "What the hell are you doing teme!" Naruto shouted. "She deserved it dobe. " Sasuke said. This of course made Naruto more mad. "How could she deserve it ! How could she deserve anything you've ever done to her !" "It's her fault." Sasuke shrugged. Naruto clenched his hand into a fist. " I would pound your face in right now!" Naruto shouted taking a step forward. "What's stopping you. Afraid you're too weak." Sasuke instigated. Naruto growled as he charged forward and Sasuke dissapeared reappearing not to far away. Naruto turned as he quickly pulled out several shurikan and kunai and threw them at Sasuke. He avoided them all and let out a small laugh. "Ha, after all these years and still that's all you can do?" Sasuke said rolling his eyes and standing as casual as ever. Naruto's eyes began to change from obsidean to a blood red as the lines on his face increased and red chakra flowed around him. He then dissapeared and reappeared closer to Sasuke executing a number of different tai'jutsu moves. For once Sasuke was actually having difficulty avoiding them when finally Naruto landed a kick and Sasuke skidded back a few feet. He made a few hand signs as he held two fingers up to his mouth and a huge fireball made it's way towards Naruto. Naruto just avoided it in time as he could feel the heat against his skin. The red chakra formed tails as they swayed back and forth and he got down on all fours. He ran forward again extremely fast, even faster than Lee as he grabbed a kunai and slashed at Sasuke. Sasuke deflected many of the hits but Naruto was able to cut him open a few times. Naruto jumped back as Sasuke swung his katana. He held a blood drenched kunai as he looked at Sasuke. By this time his sharingan was activated. He wiped the blood from his mouth as black began spreading across his face and eventually his whole appearence changed. He grew a wing and was now in the second stage of the cursed mark except this time his hair was longer and his eyes were more piercing red. His wings were still the giant hands with longer claws. Naruto held out his hand as swirrling blue and red chakra gathered. Sasuke made a handsign as he held out his hand and the sound of chirping birds were heard and eleectricity. It was the chidori, but altered. It was much bigger than the original one and didn't need the second hand to support it. Naruto now held the oda-rasengan. Sasuke jumped into the air and pointed his arm with the chidori downwards towards Naruto. Naruto sprinted and leapt into the air heading towards Sasuke with his Oda-Rasengan(sp).

Sakura stood watching the whole fight. It was exactly like what happend that day on the roof of the hospital, except this time she would actually stop it. She started in a sprint as she leapt into the air directly in the middle of them. Sasuke and Naruto both saw Sakura in the middle of their attacks but couldn't stop them. Sakura simply looked at both of them dissapointed before closing her eyes and the two collided and there was a huge flash of blue and red everywhere.

With such force and impact Sasuke was thrown back a few meters and stopped by a building, he slammed against the hard concrete wall as he fell to the ground. The wall above him dented inward from where he collided with it. Naruto was sent flying the other way. He crashed into a few buildings before eventually stopping. The debre toppled down on him.

"Sakura...SAKURA !!!!!!!!"

Naruto yelled into the sky.
