Author's Notes: I own nothing but Siren.
Sorry I had to skip the Tsunade Retrieval Arc but nobody would help me. I hope this chapter makes up for it. By the way, this is where the story diverges from the original Naruto storyline by a mile. Hope you enjoy :D
Chapter 15: Sasuke Vs. Naruto, Battle at Valley of The End
Naruto stood on top of the statue of Hashirama Senju while Sasuke stood on top of Madara Uchiha, both looking at the other from across the river below them.
"Sasuke, come back to the village. Everybody is worried about you." said Naruto trying to get his friend and rival back.
"Why should I? That pathetic village offered me nothing, while Orochimaru has offered me the chance to get stronger so I can kill my brother and avenge my clan. If I were to go back to that worthless village I'd be getting nowhere!"
"What about your uncle?"
"My uncle?! That fool can't even do one thing right! He gave his left eye to a non-Uchiha and he's too care-free, he's a disgrace to the Uchiha name!"
"Sasuke, I'm flattered." said Obito warping in behind Sasuke, "But I agree with Naruto. You have to come back to the village."
"Never! I'll kill both of you to get the Mangekyou Sharingan and then Itachi is mine!" said Sasuke glaring at both.
"Very well then. Naruto, he's yours. Knock some sense back into my nephew." said Obito warping away.
In a flash of orange, Naruto appeared in front of Sasuke and sent his fist into the Uchiha's face and then slammed him into the ground, pinned him and began punching him repeatedly in the face. Blood splattered across the statue's top as Naruto continued to punch him, until his fists were red and he couldn't do it anymore.
"Is that the best you got dobe?" said Sasuke spitting a wad of blood into Naruto's face yet the blonde ignored it.
"Snap out of it teme!" yelled Naruto throwing Sasuke into the water below while he charged a Rasengan and jumped after him.
*EXPLOSION*
Naruto looked around before he hears crackling flames coming behind him and he barely manages to dodge the fireball spit at him, his left leg getting singed a little bit.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Harem Jutsu!"
Naked pretty blondes stand in front of Sasuke who gets a massive nosebleed and flies into a rock wall and Naruto returns to normal, shocked.
'That...never worked...before...' thought the blonde confused before Sasuke turned into a log.
"Ah! Substitution!" cried Naruto before he hears a thousand birds chirping and turns around at the last second. Naruto manages to move the hand so that it pierces his right shoulder and misses his heart which was its original target.
"So you positioned yourself so the Chidori would go through your shoulder, not your heart. I'm still going to kill you dobe!" said Sasuke ripping his hand from the hole in Naruto's shoulder before he is punched right in the face by Naruto and sent flying back until he collides with a rock wall and creates a crater. Naruto looks up, his eyes red slits, his whisker marks thicker, his fur and hair wilder and his tails bristling, as his fingers turn into claws.
Sasuke gets up and looks at Naruto, watching as the wound closes up and looks like nothing happened.
'Stupid demon fox! Stupid fourth Hokage!' thought Sasuke in anger before he was caught off guard as Naruto charged forward and delivered punches and kicks at speeds that rivaled Lee without his weights before he is punched into a rock wall and grabbed by the throat.
"If you don't come peacefully Sasuke, I'm gonna break every bone in your body and drag you back to the village!" growled Naruto, his voice somewhat wilder.
"Good luck dobe." said Sasuke before he exhaled a fireball at point-blank range, sending Naruto flying into a rock wall on the other side of the valley. Suddenly Obito appears in front of Sasuke.
"Hidden Jutsu! Frilled-neck Lizard!" said Tobi hanging upside down before his hood hung behind him and Sasuke stood waiting...and waiting.
"ehehehe, I forgot. This is all there is to the jutsu. HAHAHA!" laughed Tobi before he jumped out of the way of Naruto's Rasengan.
*EXPLOSION*
Naruto and Sasuke then got into a Tai-Jutsu fight before Naruto is kicked in the face, wrapped in ninja wire and then...
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb!" (1) yelled Sasuke as he spit the fireball out and the flames travelled along the wire until it struck Naruto who screamed in pain before...
*POOF!*
"Shadow clone?!"
Sasuke is then kicked from above and slammed into the ground with the foot on his head and Naruto jumps off and glares at Sasuke who gets up and the two glare at each other.
"Just die already dobe!" yelled Sasuke using another Chidori which struck Naruto in the ribs causing him to cough up blood before he is grabbed, thrown into the air, grabbed again, pointed upside-down and the used like a pogo stick as he spiraled downward and he collided with the ground hard and Sasuke got off him, panting heavily before he coughed up blood.
'This fight's taken its toll on my body...not sure how much longer I can like this...maybe the Curse Mark...' thought Sasuke before he is hit by a chakra covered tail and then grabbed by another before he is slammed into the foot of a statue as Naruto gets up, covered in red chakra in the shape of a fox, his three tails also covered in the chakra.
"Sasuke! If you don't snap out of it and come back to the village peacefully, I'm gonna slowly and painfully break every bone in your body, plus your skull!" snarled Naruto as he glared at Sasuke.
Sasuke emerged from the crater in the wall but his skin was grey as a black starfish-like shape covered his nose, hand-like wings protruded from his back, and his eyes had three-tomoed Sharingans in them yet they were discolored from red-black, they were more greyish.
"Such power! With this I could easily destroy you, my uncle, my brother, even the Hidden Leaf! I could destroy everything! Prepare to die dobe!" said Sasuke as he charged a Chidori in his hands but it was black instead of the usual blue.
"Not today teme!" growled Naruto charging a Rasengan but it was demonic red. Both leapt at each, neither backing down, both reared their arms back and then brought them forward.
"CHIDORI!"
RASENGAN!"
*EXPLSOION*
A blinding explosion engulfed the area and Tobi had to cover his eye to prevent himself from going blind and he had to phase his body so the flying rocks and trees wouldn't hit him and he was lucky the blast subsided at 4 minutes, 58 seconds. He uncovered his eye and he saw Naruto breaking Sasuke's arms yet the Uchiha made no movement and Tobi could tell his nephew was unconscious. He then saw a scratch across Naruto's headband along with Sasuke having a scratch too.
'Both must of decided not to kill the other.' thought Tobi as he walked over.
"Why didn't you help?" asked Naruto as he broke Sasuke's left leg.
"Tobi did help! Tobi distract nephew with Frilled-neck Lizard Jutsu!" said Tobi waving his arms in the air.
"Not much help otherwise." said Naruto as he broke Sasuke's right leg.
"Tobi sorry Tobi not help Naruto. Tobi thought this good test for you, so Tobi not interfere."
"I got a Chidori rammed through me shoulder and my ribs! Do you have any idea how bad that hurts?!"
"Not as bad as getting crushed by boulders...*shudders*...Tobi still have nightmares about that day."
"Or falling into liquid Titanium, that's way worse than boulders." said Siren appearing from the trees with Kakashi and Pukkan.
"This wasn't physically painful but it was mentally...running Rin through with my Lightning Blade...that's why I made the Lightning Blade a defensive jutsu..." said Kakashi sadly as he picked up Sasuke and the group began the walk back to the Hidden Leaf.
Hidden Leaf Gates; 1 Hour Later...
The five arrive to see Tsunade and a large crowd at the gates and Naruto sighs before he keeps walking, well, more like limping.
"Hey grandma Tsuna-" began Naruto before he is punched in the face sending him flying through several trees which are turned into matchwood.
Obito, Kakashi, and Siren: "Naruto!"
The three then turn to glare at Tsunade.
"Hey grandma?! What was that for?!" shouted Naruto limping out of the rubble.
"Shut it demon!" said Tsunade and Naruto felt his heart break at that.
"ANBU! Take the demon prisoner for execution." said Tsunade and several ANBU surround Naruto before they're knocked away by the three Jonin.
"What is this about Tsunade?! Naruto brought back my nephew!" said Obito glaring at her with his Mangekyou.
"Naruto is under arrest for threatening to kill one of the last Uchihas and with releashing the Kyuubi."
"His name is Kurama!" yelled Naruto before he slapped his mouth.
Suddenly every team Naruto knew was by his side, except Sakura and Ino who watched from gates; Sakura with a disgusted expression on her face and Ino with a conflicted expression.
"Naruto may have a demon inside him but he is the most youthful person I have meet in my entire youthful life!" proclaimed Lee with fire burning in his eyes.
"Naruto may have appearances of the nine-tails but I see him as human." said Shino.
"This is too troublesome but Naruto is the scroll holding the kunai not the kunai inside the scroll." said Shikamaru.
Hinata faints.
Jiraya and Minato then appear besides the group who sided with Naruto.
"I figure it's time I made up for leaving my godson alone for 12 years, so I'm standing by him." said the Toad Sage with a smile.
"He's my son and no matter what I will ALWAYS stand by him." said Minato crossing his arms and glaring at the villagers.
"ANBU! Arrest these traitors!" said Tsunade.
"Traitors? Ha! That's a laugh!" said Sasuke trying to sit up but had to be helped by his uncle, "I was under the influence of the Curse Mark and you blame Naruto? Pathetic. I don't see Naruto as the demon as see him as a shinobi, a ninja of the Leaf, a good rival and...my best friend. If this village can't see what he truly is, then I don't want a part of it. Uncle, remove my headband."
Obito removes Sasuke's headband and drops it to the ground. The entire group who is with Naruto follow suit and drop their headbands. Ino walks over and does the same.
"Fine then. Kill them!" said Tsunade and the ANBU charge before black threads erupt from the ground and trap the ANBU. A man with red-green eyes and stitches all over his body then appears from the ground.
"Sorry I'm late. Had to turn in a bounty." said the man to Siren who waved it off.
"It's okay Kakuzu. You got here and that's all that matters." said Siren smiling behind his mask.
"Should I kill them?" asked Kakuzu glaring at the ANBU.
"Nah, knock them out. Then we run like heck!" said Siren as Kakuzu knocks them out and the group takes off, leaving behind the Hidden Leaf Village as Danzo watches from one of the wall's towers.
"Shame. Losing three Sharingan users will put us at a serious disadvantage, but losing that many Shinobi...will be very problematic." said Danzo before he walked off.
DELETED SCENE: Siren Pays Off Kakuzu
Kakuzu is dragging the dead body of his target towards a checkpoint and drops it when he sees Siren walking towards him and on the outside he seems calm but on the inside he's panicking.
'Crap! Crap! A Leaf Shinobi! I'm a missing-nin, he's bound to kill me! Crap! On all the days-!' though Kakuzu as he thought of ways to get out of situation before Siren speaks.
"You think I'm going to kill you don't you?" asked Siren clamly and Kakuzu nods.
"I'm not. I'm here to hire you."
Kakuzu does a double take.
"W-what?"
"Here's your payment for your loyalty." said Siren pulling out a large bag from one of his hidden pockets on his cloak, tips it upside down and drops a 600 carat piece of gold and Kakuzu's stitches blow apart (and he looks like he does in the fight against Naruto when he and Hidan die in the anime series).
"Do I have your services."
"Y-y-y-yes." stuttered Kakuzu before he fainted.
END CHAPTER
Sorry if the fight with Naruto and Sasuke was lame but I think I did okay with groups' defection from Hidden Leaf. Hope you also enjoyed the deleted scene. Yes, Kakuzu will be a good guy in this story. After this, do not follow the series.
