"Juugo. Stop it." Sasuke bit out, staring the red head that was now fully consumed by his cursed seal in the eyes. He immediately began to calm down, and he slowly began to take deep breaths, and grow lax and lean back against the water nin behind him.

Sasuke looked away to the Southern region when the bunshins disappeared. He didn't like the feeling that he was getting. Sai should've sent a bird out to meet them, and they had to hold their position until then. He wondered where Sakura was, and worried if she was all right. Then he looked up, seeing a small dot crossing the sky. Sai's Ninpou creation.

As he reached for the note, the raven like bird exploded and soaked into the paper. He quickly unfolded it, with Suigetsu hanging his face over his shoulder, and stared at the quickly scrawled chicken scratch that was on the roughened surface.

:

We found the main camp. We have taken action, and have found and taken Ishin, Amaya, and Hajime. Ishin needs immediate medical attention. He won't make it to The Leaf. Find Kakashi. He is just south of the camp; he is now heading in your direction. I have The Hokage's own. Be careful. The Encampment has become aware of intruders.

Sai

Sasuke shoved Suigetsu away from him and crumbled the thin paper into his fist. Then, as Suigetsu tried to hail him down, he leaped away and searched for his wife in frustration.

--

Sakura smirked, and the bunshin that she and Lin were fighting disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"You did well, Lin..." She smiled, and gave her student and teammate a thumbs up. "Just don't make such a delay in that last blow next time...It could cost you..."

"Hai!" She smiled back, and took a deep breath. "Where is Akihiko and Liu?"

"..." Sakura fell silent, an looked around, instantly alert. "Let's go."

--

Akihiko felt his throat and muscle being shredded, and he fell back to the ground, writhing and making futile attempts at cries of pain. His throat was bleeding badly, and he couldn't stop it no matter how much he pawed and grasped his throat. He felt his oxygen leaving his lungs and body, leaving him feeling heavy. Then, he saw the Genjutsu seem to lift from his mind, and his surroundings reappeared around him. He layed there as the woman came up to him and stood over him.

Then the real Leaf Nin appeared at her back, and then sent his katana through her neck. Her body immediately disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"Huh..." he scoffed once more as his bloody and suffocating copy disappeared, leaving a small and lumpy looking log in it's place. "Fucking kidding. THAT was a damned Bunshin? More powerful than usual...Fucking Mist Nin..."

He sheathed his katana at his back, and scowled, seeing Liu come his way, followed by the rest of his team. "Oi!!" Liu yelled, "You okay, Akihiko!?"

"Just fine, Brother." He replied. He looked up, seeing something black suddenly go across his line of vision. "Hey. Sai's Ninpou." THey all looked up as they landed on the branch with him, and the raven copy flew down toward Sakura, and exploded as it made contact with her skin. She opened the letter.

:

We found the main camp. We have taken action, and have found and taken Ishin, Amaya, and Hajime. Ishin needs immediate medical attention. He won't make it to The Leaf. Find Kakashi. He is just south of the camp; he is now heading in your direction. I have The Hokage's own. Be careful. The Encampment has become aware of intruders.

Sai

:

"They have Ishin...?" she nearly yelled in a squeaky voice, and they all looked back at her, with stunned looks. "We have to get to them...fast...!"

"I-Is he okay...?" Lin asked, and Akihiko grimaced at the slight look of apprehension and fear on her face.

"If...If he...If he doesn't...ll fucking kill whoever did it to him..." She growled, and then turned and leaped away in the direction that the bird came from.

--

Kiba rode on Akamaru's back as he and Lee leaped through the trees. He and his Nin dog could smell the poison before they knew who it was. THey were now headed toward the smell, afraid of the outcome, and hoping to help. Lee leaped by his side, never faltering, bound and determined to get there and see his beloved Sakura and her son. Kiba knew that his friend felt guilty about all of this. He could tell that his conscious was reprimanding him for it. But the man couldn't help it. It was in his nature.

It was just how Lee was.

Kiba smiled, then scowled once again as he took a deep breath through his nose, drinking in the nauseating smell of that poison, then was finally able to sort out Sakura, Lin, Akihiko, and Liu's scent. Then Sasuke and his team. And Kakashi. He just couldn't smell it at first due to that poisonous scent. It seemed to cloud his senses. He hated that smell.

The three different teams were fixing to converge together.

--

Kakashi set Ishin down on his back, letting him settle down in the soft grass. he was rapidly gasping for breath, and The older Jounin couldn't miss the huge bruising that was on the right side of his neck. It looked painful and horrible. They poisoned him...? Why ...who...We all figured that they would keep him for some other purpose...Like collateral...or something... He thought. Ishin...Your mother is never going to let you out of her sight until your in your late fifties...Forget romance...Huh...He couldn't help but chuckle at that thought. He knew that see would be hovering over him from this moment on, after she healed him. But...That was if she could. HE'D never seen a poison like this.

a flash of pink ran out of the corner of his grey eyes, and then Sakura was down on the ground with him, and so was Sasuke. He was crouched down beside her, and staring down at his son, and The Copy Nin could see the despair in his eyes. "He's not dead...He's barely alive...I got to him at the best time, I would say...Sakura...is there anything that I can do?"

Sakura was struck dumb for a second. Then she looked up and frowned. "I need water. Lots of it."

Later...

Sakura felt Sasuke's nervousness from across the clearing. They'd set up a small camp there, where it had some small trees to hid in in case it came to being discovered. She was sitting under one of the larger trees, keeping Ishin out of the sun, and with the large bowl of water placed beside her. She dipped her hand into the surface, infused it with chakra, and it came out of the bowl and onto her hand as she lifted it. She placed her water logged hand on her sons chest, close to his collar bone, and closed her eyes, concentrating.

Please...Let this work...Please...Kami...She forced her chakra into the boy's body, through the large sized incision that ran over the pectoral muscle. She kept her eyes closed, focusing on the mental picture from her chakra, seeing the poison that ran in his bloodstream, through the chambers of his heart, and everywhere else. Then she opened her eyes, to see obsidian orbs staring into hers.

"Sakura...I'm here...Do it..." Sasuke whispered, and she bit back a sob of fear. She was afraid that her efforts wouldn't be enough. Doing this procedure, no matter how beneficial, risked his life. He was nearly dead. She clammed up once more, and then forced her chakra into his body once again. Kiba watched intently, hovering over her like a curious puppy. Sasuke sat in front of her the whole time, watching her work fervently. He said nothing more.

She leaned back and sat on her bottom, tired as hell now. She'd gotten the last vestiges of the poison out of his vital organs, but the small amount that was in his blood stream still concerned her. He would have to get his blood filtered, to extract the remaining amount.. She did all that she could do. She noticed that he had used her training well. He'd managed to get alot of the poison out of his bloodstream, and keep it from getting to anything else. There was a medic in the boy yet, even though Sasuke didn't like the idea of his son being some type of healer.

It was exactly what she would do when in battle or if poisoned. block it off from the unaffected ares. She never knew that she did it. It was instinct.

The young Uchiha was breathing slowly once more, and was sweating profusely. That was sorta a good sign. His fever was gone, and now, she could rest and breath easy for a little while, until she dubbed it safe enough to move him to the village of Leaves.

--

Sasuke refused to admit it, but he was fixing to break down. anger, sadness, disbelief, and hate seemed to flow through his whole being. He was going to kill Karin. If Sakura didn't get to her first. He could feel the anger radiating off of her body. hence why he was sitting in a tree tapping his foot in nervous apprehension. He leaned back against the tree trunk, and stared out into oblivion. the moon was gone, leaving the stars to light the sky. Sakura sat beside Ishin, and watched him sleep. His breathing had returned to its normal steady pace, and Sasuke had relaxed a bit at hearing that.

He stood up, and looked down at his wife and son.

He was leaving.

He looked down at Sakura as he stood over her. She was sleeping soundly, and her face was facing the sky. Ishin was cuddled up next to her in her arms, and couldn't help but smile. He ran a hand over her cheek, and slowly moved away. Suigetsu and Juugo suddenly appeared at his side, and he turned to face them. "This is my fight. Not Konoha's.....they have nothing to do with this anymore. The Mist still has my son. And I plan to do something about it. If you wish to come with me, then let's go...."

His body flickered, and then the other two twisted around like smoke in the wind, and faded into nothing.

--

Karin watched the small three year old writhe around on the floor. It was cold, and the only thing he had to cover him with was a thin blanket that he had long since kicked away in frustration. She had watched him now for a few hours, and he was screaming bloody murder. SHe stared down at the Uchiha's youngest, with a look of utter contempt.

She watched the young boy shiver, and sneered. And now, Sasuke-Kun...you will pay for denying me of what I have wanted. You lost your chance at happiness with me, so you lose someone that you love.... She looked away, and walked off.

--

The first thing that seemed to register in his rage clouded mind was that oh so familiar screaming. He closed his eyes, and then blinked rapidly for a few seconds, then looked around with those blood red eyes. He saw a young child lying in the grass, just three or for feet away from where they were hiding, completely covered by the darkened shadows that were cast by the trees and huts before them. "SOnofabitch...." He snarled, and without a second thought, he leaped out of cover, and went for his youngest son.

Then all hell broke loose.


BOOM!!!!

The whole earth seemed to shake underneath the Leaf Nin. Sakura leaped unsteadily to her feet, and then looked around frantically. Ishin was still beside her. Lee, Kiba, Akamaru, Lin, Akihiko, Liu, and Kakashi stood there, looking around. The ground then stopped shaking after a god few seconds, and Sakura put a hand on the grass covered earth below her. Vibrations were still being carried through its surface. "Sasuke...." She murmured. "Lee!"

The said boy turned to her, and went to rapt attention. "Yes?!" She looked back at him, and took a deep breath.

"You and Sai take the Northwest. Kiba, Akamaru, Please....Take Ishin back to Konoha. He isn't safe here." She then leaped up into a tree, with her team following close behind, as Kiba began to protest.

"Sakura, NO!" He yelled, then growled in frustration. She was already gone. "Shit!" Then Kakashi looked over at him.

"You heard him, Kiba; Akamaru. Get going." Kiba growled at the order, and picked the boy up. They all disappeared at the same time, but going in two completely different directions.

--

Sasuke's body covered Hikaru's much smaller one, and he had taken the hit that was meant for the young child. Suigetsu and Juugo stood by him, facing out, to repel any other attacks that would now come at their leader's exposed back. Hikaru was screaming once again, and Sasuke had an arm around the boy's back. Sasuke felt the blood soaking into his hakama, and he grimaced. He didn't feel any pain yet. But after his heart rate would slow, he would feel it then. And it wouldn't be pleasant.

He slowly sat up, and straightened his tall frame, keeping his arm around his son. He turned to Suigetsu and Juugo, who stood at his back, and glared past them to the group of Nin that stood a hundred yards away. His right hand then strayed to his chukotu, and his hold tightened on Hikaru, who whimpered loudly.

"Every thing's going to be fine, Hikaru....Daddy's here, now...." He murmured, and then Juugo took the boy from him. "Get him back to Konoha before Sakura gets here. Go."

"Hai." Juugo then disappeared. Suigetsu sneered, and looked Sasuke up and down.

"You took a hit." He muttered. A serrated tooth stuck out of the corner of his mouth, and he smirked. "Just don't get in my way."

"Hn." Sasuke then lunged for the group of Nin, and Suigetsu followed, unsheathing his giant blade, Kubikiri Bōchō.

They both ran at top speed toward their opponents, the thirst for blood, revenge, and battle clouding all judgement and sense.
