As Naruto was about to open his mouth to answer Sasuke's questions, something clicked inside him. A voice keeps telling him, 'Don't let the Uchiha win so easily. Come on Naruto, keep the emotionless mask firmly placed or he would think you are so easy to get. Be strong Naruto.'
After hearing the voice, Naruto stand up his face lost its fear and scared look by an emotionless expression. "What are you trying to pull Uchiha! Is this some of your jokes? I thought that that snake's influence on you waned after that terrible day. But oh dear me, I am sadly mistaken. Now let me out of here or suffer the consequences Uchiha!!!"
Sasuke just looked at him with a wide smirk on his face. "Or you'll do what Naruto? Spit those bitter words at me? I already told you, none of that would have any effect on me. This is my world. And in this world, my desires are the law!" Sasuke said calmly. "Now answer my questions, Uzumaki!."
Naruto looked at him a little shocked but his mask covered that. Looking at Sasuke somewhat bored, he said, "Your tricks will not work on me Uchiha."
"Oh really? Then how come you shook and trembled with fear earlier? Now all I need is some answers then I will let you go."
"Heh, I don't think I owe you some answers!" Naruto stated firmly.
"Oh I see, always so stubborn are we? You will regret ever saying those words." As Sasuke disappeared again, Naruto found himself surrounded by dead bodies. To his confusion, his close friends appeared one by one.
"Naruto, I treated you like a son, and acknowledge you as someone who had great abilities and potential, I even forgot the fact that you killed my parents, yet you destroyed our village? I cant forgive you Kyuubi!" As Iruka stabbed a sword on Naruto's chest, Naruto's eyes widened in fear and shocked. "No Iruka-sensei I didn't do it!" He pleaded with tears in his eyes as he felt the searing pain in his chest.
"Naruto, I considered you as my long lost brother. I even supported you as you grow up as a powerful ninja and acknowledge that one day you could become a hokage, but I was wrong. No one could be a hokage by killing his family when they turned to him for help. Naruto, you don't deserve to live." As Tsunade give him a punched on the face… Naruto begins to cry silently…
Then, one by one, team seven appeared looking at him angrily. "Naruto, you baka! You killed the rest of our friends! You really are a monster!" Sakura glared at him.
"Naruto, you will never be a great ninja that way. Have you forgotten what I said? Those who disobey the law are trash but those who abandoned their friends are worse than scums! Naruto, you killed everyone, you deserve to die kyuubi!" Kakashi launched at him but another figure appears, and Sasuke stopped kakashi's attacks.
"Don't be too hard on the dobe sensei. He is a deadlast after all, he didn't know what he is doing." Then all the people that appeared earlier glared at him and said, "Naruto, you are a monster!"
Naruto stared at them with shock and surprise before saying, "You bastard!" Before collapsing and letting darkness surrounds him.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Real world…
Sakura stared at Naruto. His eyes dulled and to Sakura's horror, he fainted. Ibiki looked at Naruto and said, "Team 7 you fail!" Sakura rushed to bring Naruto to a clinic. As she turned to a surprised Sasuke, she asked, "Sasuke-kun what happened?"
"I lost control of the Sharigan. I know it was a bad idea but it's the dobe who insisted it." Sasuke explained as he tried to avoid Sakura's eyes as much as possible…
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Team 7 walked to a clinic not far from the examination room.
Sakura is bombarding Sasuke tons of questions but she couldn't get any answers from him and so, she just entertained herself by giving Naruto some examination.
Minutes later, Kakashi , teleported into the room. "What happened Sakura? I thought you are all ready to pass this time."
Sakura just replied, "Uhm, as to follow Naruto's plan, Sasuke used Tsukiyomi in him. We are hesitant to do it at first but Naruto insisted saying it is the only way we can do at the moment. And so, Sasuke followed Naruto's plans and used it in him. But, for some reason or another, Naruto just fainted after a few minutes. I think it was prolonged exposure to the sharingan that caused this. But I am not sure."
For a moment, Kakashi stared at her unconvinced. But he decided to just leave the conversation as it is to prevent any more problems. "Hmmm I guess it is. Well, there's always next year. I guess you need a lot of practice." It is very impossible that Naruto would collapse just because they are delivering something. Sasuke must have done something in there. Hmmm I guess I need to investigate on this matter. "Well, see you later. I have some important things to do and file a report on this incident so we can investigate it more thoroughly. Well see you!!!" And with a poof, he disappeared.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
'Kyuubi-kaasan? Kyuubi?'
'Yes Naruto?'
'Where are we?'
'I think you collapsed. You are in a clinic I think'
'Why weren't you there with me? I don't know what to do. I was confused at that time.'
'Kit, I am very sorry. It looks like the tsukiyomi had prevented us from creating a mental link. So I wasn't able to contact you when I sensed danger. Right now, all you got to do is rest, remain calm and tried to forget what you saw in there.'
And right that moment, memories of the tsukiyomi world came rushing towards Naruto. He got up quickly and glared at Sasuke.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Sasuke and Sakura looked at him happily, as he slowly opened his eyes and got up into sitting position. But they were surprised when Naruto shouted at them with hatred and hurt in his voice.
Pointing an accusing finger on Sasuke, he said angrily, "You bastard, after all you did you still have the nerve to show your face on me? Get out of here now!!!"
Sasuke looked at him sadly and guiltily. But Sakura wasn't affected at all as she felt anger welled up inside her. "You baka! Don't blame Sasuke-kun on this. If you hadn't suggested that stupid plan in the first place, nothing of this would have happened!!! You really are an idiot." Sakura expected an apology from Naruto, but what happened next shocked her.
Glaring at Sakura, Naruto managed to control himself and said calmly, "Yes Haruno I maybe an idiot but unlike someone there, I am a loyal friend. A friend that can be trusted. You have no more reason to stay here so I suggest that both of you leave."
"You idiot, we took you here and this is how you---" But Sakura was interrupted by Sasuke
"Sakura, will you shut up for a moment. Let us talk alone for a while, can you step outside?"
"But why Sasuke-kun?" Sakura looked at him confused.
"Just go, I need to talk to him alone." Sakura gladly obeyed. As the door closed, Sasuke walked towards Naruto.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Naruto, about what happened earlier…"
"Save your breath Uchiha, I have no intention of talking with bastards like you."
"Naruto, at least let me explain."
"Hah! Someone is guilty. Listen Uchiha, I understand everything so there's no need for you to explain. Now get out of my sight!"
"Naruto, just let me explain, and then, I will go just as you wished." Sasuke looked at Naruto with a hopeful face as Naruto's face softened. "Very well Sasuke. I will listen to you this time. Just make it quick"
