Part 3- Training

Naruto dodged the Kunai that was thrown at him and spun around kicking Sakura in the gut; she keeled over for a second before grabbing his still outstretched leg and swing him around. Naruto hit the hard packed earth with a thud, Sakura leapt above her leg swinging up ready to finish it with a devastating kick to his chest, Naruto rolled to one side and loosed three shuriken at her, they struck her in the shoulder and upper torso before she disappeared.

"Geh! Replacement technique! Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" Five Naruto's appeared and Sakura stalled for a moment before Kakashi came in.

"Ok stop, that was really good Sakura, you have progressed steadily and actively, I'm proud of you, Naruto you face Sasuke now."

Naruto turned and adopted a defence stance as he knew from experience Sasuke would always strike first.

"Katon: Gouyakku no jutsu!" A blazing ball of fire shot towards him, Naruto grimaced as he drove all his chakra to his feet as he dodged the attack.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"

"Baka!"

Naruto lunged forwards and struck the Uchiha in the face with the heel of his hand in a vicious backhand cut. Sasuke grunted and managed to block the attack before he activated his Sharingan and his shin met Naruto's foot as he twisted to duck the heavy punch Sasuke threw at him. Sasuke dropped to the ground as a clone came up behind and tried to jump on him but instead leapt on the real Naruto who began smashing it about before he realised it was himself.

Sasuke ran at Naruto and punched him in the face but just leapt to the right as Naruto swung back his legs locked together in a double body kick.

"Moron!"

Naruto glowered and threw a kunai at Sasuke's head, Sasuke ducked and it thudded into a tree. The blonde threw several kunai and leapt on Sasuke pinning him. Sasuke rolled backwards changing the positions so he was sitting on top of Naruto. Naruto growled and punched Sasuke in the stomach but was instead hauled bodily from the ground and a pale leg sent him sky ward. Naruto felt a leg smash into his side and then the heel of Sasuke's hand as it drove into his head making him cough blood, Naruto tried to get away but Sasuke finished with the spinning kick of his lion combo.

Naruto spat blood from mouth and looked up at Sasuke who smirked and sat down next to him.

"You have transformed into a worthy sparring opponent, Usuratonkachi…"

"TEME! DON'T CALL ME THAT! DON'T YOU THINK GETTING TAUNTED EVERYDAY IS ENOUGH! OH WAIT IM SORRY YOU ARE THE LAST FAMOUS POPULAR UCHIHA OF COURSE YOU DON'T KNOW! OF COURSE YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED WHAT IT CAN DO TO YOU!" Naruto leapt to his feet and ran off his face in his arms as he tried to wipe away his flowing tears.

Sasuke stared at the retreating back of Naruto before he got to his feet and sped after him.

Sasuke found Naruto at the pier again, his head resting on his arms which were propped up on his knees, his usually laughing blue eyes, now bleeding red as he fought with his feelings, his hands clenching and unclenching.

"Naruto…"

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!! WHO ARE YOU? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT!?"

Sasuke took out a kunai and stepped back as Naruto stood his hands now sharp tipped claws and raised, his mouth half open fangs protruding out from the upper gum ripping his lower lip, but his eyes…his eyes were the worst. They were blood red, with flecks of orange and yellow, evil and slitted they stared cruelly boring holes into his soul. Sasuke took another step as Naruto snarled and came forwards. Suddenly he lunged and swiped a clawed hand across Sasuke's throat, narrowly missing the jugular. The raven stumbled back the kunai in front of him now his other hand clutching the wound which was bleeding uncontrollably, his eyes widened in alarm.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE? COMING TO MAKE MY PITIFUL LIFE HELL EVEN MORE?! I KNOW YOU LOVE SEEING ME SUFFER, YOU SICK SADISTIC PIECES OF SHIT!"

Naruto obviously thought he was one of the villagers, since the look in his eyes had those of when they attacked him, Sasuke dodged another fatal blow to his head and slashed at Naruto's arm as he came again causing to howl in agony, Sasuke gritted his teeth he hated hurting his best friend but he knew he had to, he was bleeding from most likely a life threatening wound and was steadily getting weaker as he stood.

Naruto screamed again and leapt at Sasuke who couldn't move fast enough caught a clawed hand ripping through his side; Sasuke yelled and clamped a hand to his waist feeling warm blood trickle. Naruto lunged but this time he grabbed Sasuke by the shoulders wrenching his head to the side as his tongue swiped across the heavily bleeding neck wound, Sasuke flinched and elbowed the blonde in the face.

"How come you taste so delicious?" Naruto breathed into a pale ear, he bit down hard on the soft skin, grinning as he heard his pitiful victim whimper, Naruto spun Sasuke around his blood red eyes glinting maliciously as he grasped the Uchiha by the collar and lifted him bodily threw him some way up the wooden platform.

The Uchiha lay there unable to do anything, as Naruto advanced once again. 'This just how prey feels when its predator has finally caught it huh?' he thought. 'Damn I am so weak, how could I not stop him?' Sasuke turned to see the blonde hurtling through the air with five shuriken; he rolled to one side and managed to avoid four save one that struck him on his shoulder.

"Naruto… Stop, this isn't you, it's the Kyuubi, fight it! NARUTO!! I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE GOD DAMNIT I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!" Sasuke yelled hoarsely, had risen to his feet with much effort despite the wounds and had grabbed Naruto by his shoulders and was shaking him as if trying to let some sense reach him.

"LET ME GO!!!" Naruto struggled but Sasuke could see that Naruto was telling the fox to let go as his words had somewhat reached him, his eyes were a bluey red colour and his fangs were disappearing.

"I SAID LET ME GO!!!"

Sasuke held tighter as the fox took over once more and he was blasted away by a tremendous amount of red chakra. Naruto shook himself and charged. Sasuke felt his consciousness slipping and he braced himself for the attack, but as his vision faded he saw Kakashi standing there, and then he passed out.
