Sakura POV
I was waiting for Naruto to return when a chill filled the air and I started to hear pained moans and groans. I looked around when I noticed a bunch of people limping towards me I decided to go see what was wrong when I felt a cold clammy hand place it on my shoulder. I looked down to see pale skin but before I could turn around and look at the face it belonged to. I heard screaming coming from Asuma and Neji's direction. Looking in their direction I paled considerably a thing with 8 tentacles as it's lower body and some muscular top thing was attacking them. I didn't now what to do. I had lost my voice at the sight of it so I didn't scream my muscles froze in place forgetting the hand on my shoulder as fear consumed me. I felt myself be picked up before everything went black as a pain erupted at the base of my neck.
Shikamaru POV
I held completely still as the tail moved making pain erupt from my shoulder in a great wave. I wanted to scream but I new I would definitely die if I did, having your voice stuck in my throat helped too. It felt like hours with pain before something crashed through the trees. I tried to turn to see what it was. That was it I let out a scream at the sight that met my eyes. Never in my craziest nightmares or my wildest dreams would I ever have imagined Naruto as he was now.
There he was glowing red becoming more fox like by the minute claws ears appearing on his head 9 different tails, his eyes were red and his teeth looked like fangs also but I couldn't really tell at this distance. Slowly Naruto grew fur as he was doing so he bolted towards the turtle claws extended towards the turtles right eye. Naruto managed to peirce it's eye. And as it howled in pain it released me. I started to black out from the pain but as I started to close my eyes swore Naruto grew above the treetops taking on the appearance of a ravenous snarling fox.
Unknown POV
I watched as the fox and turtle battled for only a second before turning to the young man out cold on the forest floor.
Naruto POV
I felt myself regain control as I felt myself shrink to the ground. The turtle having just retreated. But as I did a stabbing pain peirced my heart. It won't be long before I will have to die now. It is now or never I turned to shikamaru to find that he was gone panicked I thought maybe another of the monsters got him while I was fighting the turtle beast. Letting it go in favor of Sakura's safety I took of to where I new my team to be not knowing I was correct but not in the way I imagined.
