Chapter 5 New Found Powers
Everything went black. I woke up and found myself in a dark sewer. Headache, again. Always suffered headache. Strange. The last thing I remembered was Sasuke dying.
Sasuke. I took a moment to accept that my best friend had died.
Then I wandered around the sewer. I felt a... call to me from one of the paths. My curiosity won the day. I entered a corridor. I appeared on another room with a big cage inside. I carefully approached the cage.
I could see big red slitted eyes looking down at me. I took some moment to plan what should I do. Then the creature revealed its face. It was a giant orange fox with nine tails.
"Nine-tails! This must be the kyuubi that was sealed in me." I thought.
"So my jailor finally decided to visit me. I'm honored." said the Kyuubi.
"Woah! You're so cute if you're small." I said with a fake grin.
I felt my jaw drop. "What the fuck is going on with this kid? Does he have a brain issue or something?!"
"How dare you, brat! I'm the mighty Kyuubi! The strongest creature in the world." I shouted at the disrespectful brat.
"Sorry. I was just thinking if I have a fox plushie in my bed." said my jailor while scratching his head.
My eyes twitched.
"Anyway, why am I here?" asked Naruto.
"Your anger took control of you. You are now in your mindscape. Your anger triggered my chakra. Your real body is now controlled by my chakra." I explained.
"So, I think I could have some chat with you while I wait for my anger to subside." said Naruto.
"Like I would ever talk to a mortal like you." I said.
"Actually, it couldn't be that bad right? Remember the days with father? Good times. Maybe I was just isolating myself from anyone. I'm tired of being hated. This is my chance to open up. Come on, Kurama. Talk to him!"
"Uh, while I'm here, I want to ask why did you attack Konoha?" asked Naruto, ignoring the Kyuubi's previous statement.
"This is my chance."
"I didn't attack Konoha."
"Huh?"
My eyes twitched again. "Didn't you hear me? I never wanted to attack Konoha. I was controlled by a man with the name of Madara Uchiha. When I looked into his eyes, everything went black. When I regained consciousness, I was attacked by numerous shinobi. So I was only defending myself."
"Madara Uchiha? Is he the one who named Konoha?" asked Naruto.
I nodded.
"How is he still alive?"
I shook his head. Then an idea apeared in my big big brain. "I don't know. Hey, kit. Wanna make a deal?"
"What?" Naruto asked suspiciously.
"If you promise me to kill Madara, I'll give you my powers. That includes training with me. You want to be a Hokage, right?" I said. I was planning to be free. But I still doubt that I would get out.
"Yeah. But how are you going to train me?"
"You have to open the cage of course. Just rip the seal apart."
I thought about it for a moment. The Kyuubi seemed to be honest. So I accepted.
"Deal."
I ripped the seal locking the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi had a look of happiness of being free. He readied himself to jump out of my body. I watched in horror as he jumped... a bit?. He looked at me with a look that he wanted to be friends with me. He made a deal with me.
"I'll stay here. Madara's too strong for me. Maybe, just maybe, this kit could defeat him." thought the Kyuubi.
Then a bright white flash blinded us.
"Naruto? You're still ten and you opened the seal?" said a voice.
"Who are you?" I asked in panic.
The light disappeared and revealed a man who looked like Naruto but with bangs in his sides and without whisker marks. He smiled.
"Y-you're... the Yondaime Hokage! What are you doing in my head?" I asked. I could feel my eyes grow as wide as dinner plates.
"Yes, I'm the Yondaime. But more importantly, I'm your father, Naruto." He said with a warm smile.
I froze. Those words... shocked me to the core. I was the Yondaime's son! The one who sealed the Kyuubi in me was in front of him. The man I always hoped to see was in front of him. Feelings of confusion, happiness, and anger rushed into me. So I ran at my supposed father, I opened my arms, so he would think that I wanted to hug him. He returned the gesture, preparing himself for a hug.
But the hug didn't came. Instead, I punched in the gut. He doubled over in pain and vomited.
"What were you thinking?! Sealing that fox inside me? I lived ten years of loneliness thanks to you!" I snapped. You could see the redness of my face and the steam puffing out from my ears.
The Hokage recovered from the punch. "Sorry, but there's no other choice at the moment, Naruto." he said, looking at me with guilt in his eyes. "He attacked Konoha. It's my duty to stop him. I won't take someone elses child. Besides, you're the only one strong enough to hold him." he continued while pointing at Kyuubi.
"Well, the truth is, he didn't attack Konoha. He was controlled." I said, crossing my arms.
"Yeah. That damned Uchiha controlled me. You were there, Minato. You're the one who freed me from his control, right?" said the Kyuubi.
"Yeah. But you kept attacking them." argued dad.
"Like I got other choice." argued Kyuubi.
"Naruto, what were you doing? Opening the seal?" asked my father, changing the topic.
I nodded. "I made a deal with him. I have to kill Madara. He has to train me in exchange. So far, he hasn't tried to escape, so I trust him."
Minato looked at Kyuubi. "I thought you were a creature of pure hatred. And, Madara, huh? He's really tough, son. Even I couldn't beat him."
Then I'll just have to train and get stronger!"
"So, you would train Naruto?" asked dad to Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi nodded.
"Then I won't have to seal you. Oh, and my time is running out. I love you, Naruto. I have many many things to tell you. I want to stay here longer, but I can't. Be a great Hokage, ok? Oh, and an advice. If you meet a man with the name Jiraiya, be careful." He started to fade away. I looked at his fading form in horror. I didn't think that it would be this short. I shouldn't have punched him.
"Wait, Minato. I'll transfer some of my chakra to you so you wouldn't disappear anytime soon."
"Really? I never thought that you are such generous."
The Kyuubi transfered his chakra to dad. Dad absorbed the chakra, and didn't fade away.
"Thank you, Kyuubi.
"Dad, I'm sorry I punched you in the gut. I thought that you wouldn't disappear that fast." I apologized.
"It's okay, Naruto. Oh, and time in your mindscape is faster than the real world. A day in here is equal to a second in the real world. So you can use the time to train with us. Though I don't know how Kyuubi will train you." explained Minato.
"That's simple. But he had to clean his hatred first. My chakra is dark. A bit of hatred in his heart, and my chakra will consume him."
"And how should I do that?"
"There's an island near Kumo where you can meditate and clean your heart."
"That's not possible at the moment." I said with disappointment in my voice.
"Then I'll train you first." offered Minato.
I couldn't believe it. I wiped my eyes to make sure this is real. I would be trained by my idol and father. It's just too good to be real. I grinned.
"This isn't a dream, right?" I asked, hoping the answer is no.
"Technically, it is. You're in a mindscape." said Kyuubi.
I sat on the corner of the room. My heads were on my knees as a dark aura appeared around me. Dad laughed. "I'll train you in fuinjutsu/sealing. Then I'll teach you the jutsu that made me famous. The Hiraishin/Flying Thunder God."
I stood up again and couldn't help but grin and jump in happiness. Dad sweatdropped at my behaviour. I stopped and looked at his surroundings.
"Oh, and do you know how to change the scene? I don't feel like training in a sewer."
"Just think about how you want it. It's your mind." Dad answered.
I closed my eyes. I focused on the view that I want. After I opened my eyes, I saw just what I thought about. There's a mountain far away, a lake just nearby, a forest, and a plain field. Kyuubi wandered around the little world I just made.
"Thanks, kit. The scene is relaxing. By the way, my real name is Kurama." Kurama said.
Kurama had a look of disbelief on his face. This is the second person he deemed worthy of calling him by his real name.
"Somehow I got the feeling that he would be like father. He's like his reincarnation."
So the training began. Minato also talked about Kushina, then Jiraiya, warning Naruto of his pervertness. Minato taught Naruto fuinjutsu. Being an Uzumaki, Naruto learned fuinjutsu like it was a second nature. They started from basic seals such as storage, to complex seals like chakra barrier. They trained for days(in Naruto's mindscape). After that, Minato taught Naruto Hiraishin.
"For Hiraishin, you have to design your own seal." said Minato.
With the help of kage bunshins, he made a new Hiraishin seal.
He also had an idea of marking his chakra instead marking a physical thing. Then he made a special seal that emits his chakra for around 20 kilometers. Then he can travel anywhere inside a twenty kilometers radius. Minato appreciated the idea.
After that, Minato trained Naruto in his reflexes. Without lightning reflexes, hiraishin would be useless. It was a torture for Naruto. He was hit with blunt kunais in the head for numerous times. They trained to the point where Naruto can teleport when there is a kunai in front of his eyes. The trainings didn't take too long. Magics of the kage bunshin.
Last, Minato showed Naruto how to make a Jikukan Kekkai/Space Time Barrier.
"Hold your hiraishin kunai with both hands horizontally like this. Then transfer your chakra to the seal, and bam! There's the Jikukan Kekkai." said Minato while showing Naruto the process.
"It didn't sound like that." said Naruto.
"What do you want me to say? Shzwing?" said Minato.
Naruto just grabbed his own hiraishin kunai and channelled his chakra to the seal. A rip of space appeared in front of him.
"This thing is useful against chakra missiles. I even teleported a bijudama with it."
After some hard days for Naruto, the chakra that Kurama gave to Minato ran out.
"That's it, Naruto. You surpassed me in hiraishin. And you're still ten. Kushina would be proud." Minato said with tears in his eyes as he started to fade.
"Dad, your going to fade!"
"It's okay, Naruto. I'm already dead. I'm not supposed to be here. And don't be sad. I'll always love you. No matter what. And you'll meet your mom eventually." He said before he kissed Naruto in the forehead and completely fade away.
Naruto cried for a while. He just met his father. Now he was gone.
"Don't be sad, kit. I'm still here for you." said Kurama while patting Naruto's back.
Naruto was sent flying by the pat. Then he nodded and wiped his tears.
"You can always talk to me if you want. And you don't have to enter here to talk. Just think about what you're going to say and I'll reply."
"Thanks for your company, Kurama."
"Anytime. And its time for you to get back to the real world. Say hello to Haku." said Kurama.
Naruto thought about exitting his mindscape, and he found himself in the middle of punching Haku's face. He stopped and took sone time to figure out what happened. It has been 56 days since he entered the mindscape.
He saw Sasuke's prone form and it was enough for him to remember.
"Please kill me. I'm no longer useful for Zabuza-sama." said Haku with desperation in her voice.
"What? But, I can't." said Naruto. Even though she killed his best friend, Naruto considered her as a friend.
"I'm just a broken tool. Just kill me." she said again.
She looked at Zabuza. "Actually, I had one more use for him, so I'll go." she said before she dashed to Zabuza.
With Kakashi
Kakashi was in a pinch. He was losing the match with Zabuza. He was also worried about Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke was dying and Naruto lost control over himself and the Kyuubi chakra leaked.
Zabuza kept swinging his cleaver around. Kakashi just dodged and dodged. He got tired of the cat and mouse game, so he decided to end this.
"You're going to die, Zabuza." He flew through handseals and then slammed his palm to the ground. "Summoning: Fanged Pursuit."
A bunch of dogs appeared and charged at Zabuza. They bit and held Zabuza. Kakashi charged up his original jutsu. Lightning sparkled in his left hand. Then he dashed at Zabuza in a fast speed. Zabuza watched in horror as Kakashi's lightning coated hand came closer. "Raikiri!"
Blood splattered in front of Kakashi, and he looked at... Haku. The girl used an ice mirror to teleport herself so Kakashi's raikiri wouldn't hit Zabuza but instead hit her. Kakashi could hear Naruto shouting while running to them.
Zabuza slashed his sword at Kakashi through Haku. Kakashi backflipped with Haku in his arms.
"Zabuza! Don't you care for her?" asked Kakashi.
"She's just a tool. Shinobi is just a tool. She died as a tool." said Zabuza.
Naruto got in time to hear what Zabuza said. "What?! You didn't care for her? She gave you her life so you would live and fulfill your dream. She saw you as a father. And you only saw her as a tool?" Naruto panted.
Zabuza took some moment to consider it. Then he found himself crying. "Don't say a word, kid. I saw Haku as a daughter." he hung his head down.
"You were hesitant when you slashed her." said Kakashi. Zabuza nodded.
Sakura ran to Naruto. "Naruto! Where's Sasuke-kun?" she asked. Her face was full of worry.
"I'm sorry, Sakura." Naruto said while pointing at Sasuke's body.
"Sasuke-kun!" She screamed while she ran. She cried at his body, silently wishing for him to come back.
Naruto approached her. He also cried when he looked at Sasuke's body. Then he heard Kurama.
"He's not dead yet, kit. He suffered the same fake death like Zabuza. Just remove the senbons in his neck and he'll wake up."
Naruto widened his eyes. His best friend was still alive. "He's not dead yet!" he shouted.
Sakura looked up at him with a face of confusion and hope. Naruto removed the senbons from Sasuke's neck. Sasuke's eyes shot open.
"Am I dead? Am I in an Icha-Icha afterlife?" he asked.
"Of course not, you perv!" said Naruto.
Sakura hugged Sasuke. Both of them winced in pain as the senbons in Sasuke's body pierced Sakura. "Sakura, stop. It hurts you know." he said.
"You got me worried Sasuke-kun."
They smiled happily. Their teammate hasn't died yet. They made their way back to Kakashi.
"So, what are you going to do, now?" They heard Kakashi said.
"I don't know." came the reply from Zabuza.
"Did you know that the fourth Mizukage is dead?" asked Kakashi. At this point team seven arrived.
"What?! I didn't know! Who's the current Mizukage?" said Zabuza.
"Her name is Mei Terumi." said Kakashi.
Zabuza took some time to process what he heard. Then he screamed and pulled his hair. "Of all people, why her?"
Team seven chuckled. "You got some history with her, huh?" asked Kakashi.
Before Zabuza can reply, someone came and ruined the mood. A shrimp-man in bussiness suit with an army of thugs came. "She's dead, huh? That's what happened to those who oppose me." he said. Then he kicked Haku's dead body.
This angered Naruto and Zabuza. Zabuza glared at him. That was enough to scare Gato and made him ran. "Kill them!" shouted Gato as he ran to the back of the group.
"Haku is my friend. And I'll get that bastard for kicking her." said Naruto.
"And I am her father. I will kill the bastard." said Zabuza.
They both cracked their fists. "Wait here." said Naruto as he slammed his palm to the bridge. A small complex looking seal appeared on the ground.
"Since when did he learn high level fuinjutsu?" thought Kakashi.
Naruto grinned, and teleported to Gato in a yellow flash. He came back with the shrimp in less than a second. It shocked other people in the bridge.
"Th-that was Minato-sensei's signature jutsu! Have to ask him how he learnt that."
"W-was that the hiraishin?" asked Zabuza.
Naruto nodded, and threw Gato in front of Zabuza. "Doesn't matter. I have someone to deal with." Zabuza said as he slashed his sword at Gato, slicing him in two. "Done. May Haku torture you in the after life."
Then they looked at the remaining bandits. They seemed confident enough by their numbers. But the villagers of the wave came, led by Inari who wielded a makeshift crossbow and Tsunami who wielded a frying pan. Naruto decided to add the numbers by summoning kage bunshins. The bandits got panicked. Some jumped to the water below, some returned to the boat.
"Ok. Everything is done here. What's next?" asked Naruto.
"Your battle broke the bridge. We should work again." said Tazuna who appeared from nowhere.
"I had to bury Haku." said Zabuza.
"May I join?" said Naruto.
Zabuza nodded. Naruto summoned several hundred kage bunshins to help the villagers build the bridge. They carried Haku to the mountain nearby.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura got back to Tazuna's house to check Sasuke's condition. Sasuke told Kakashi about his sharingan. Sakura cheered at him.
The bridge was done in a week. During the week, Kakashi asked Naruto about the Hiraishin. What Naruto said made him piss in the pants.
"Yo, Naruto." greeted Kakashi.
"Hi, Kakashi sensei. What's up?" Naruto said as he wiped the sweat he got from building the bridge.
"Where did you learn the Hiraishin?" Kakashi asked straight to the point.
"Well, it's a long story. When I was in rage, I appeared in my mindscape. I met Kurama."
"Who's Kurama?" asked Kakashi.
"The Kyuubi, of course." said Naruto like it was normal.
"What!? It had a name?" said Kakashi with wide eyes.
"Yeah. He has a name. Anyway, I talked with him and I made a deal with him."
"What deal?" asked Kakashi. He was starting to panic.
"I have to kill Madara Uchiha. In exchange, he has to train me. But, he can't train me inside the cage. So I opened the cage by ripping the seal apart."
Kakashi widened his eyes even more. He pissed in his pants. The Kyuubi was out. "What the hell you were thinking, Naruto! Freeing the Kyuubi?" shouted Kakashi. His shout could be heard at Iwa.
Naruto just nodded his head. Then he continued. "Then, dad came. We talked for a while. He trusted Kurama, so he didn't seal him back."
"Wait, Minato-sensei was there?" asked Kakashi.
Naruto nodded. Kakashi just looked at him.
"What the hell happened to the world?"
Naruto decided to continue. "Then dad trained me in fuinjutsu and his signature jutsu, the hiraishin. I made some improvements to the hiraishin. I can teleport for a twenty kilometers radius from a seal."
Kakashi couldn't take it anymore. He fainted.
Seventh day in Wave.
The bridge was done. It was time for Team Seven to go home. Zabuza had gone to Kirigakure. Team Seven made their farewell to the people of Wave.
"No! Don't go Naruto-niisan!" shouted Inari as he ran and hugged Naruto.
"I have to go, Inari. And remember, men do not cry." said Naruto.
He turned back from Inari to hide the tears that were starting to form in his eyes. Team Seven walked from the bridge. Naruto waved his hands to them. Sasuke looked back and nodded. Sakura smiled. Kakashi was reading his Icha-Icha as usual.
Their journey back to Konoha was eventless. They walked past the puddle before, but the two kirigakure missing nins were gone. They made their way to the gates of Konoha. Kakashi parted ways as soon as he entered. That left Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura alone.
"So, what now?" asked Sasuke.
"Ichiraku of course."
Sasuke and Sakura groaned. They made their way to Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto ordered ten bowls of ramen.
"Ten bowls of miso ramen, please." said Naruto.
"You sure don't want to try a new ramen? We made ten special bowls of ramen to celebrate your first C-rank mission. And you don't need to pay. The same goes for Sasuke and Sakura." said Teuchi, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen.
Naruto jumped out the chair. Sasuke and Sakura looked at Naruto, then at each other. Then they shook their heads.
Naruto ate the ten bowls of ramen in a second. A new record. Sasuke and Sakura almost spat their ramen after seeing Naruto's eating speed.
After they finished their meals, they headed to their training ground.
"Hey, Naruto? What was that jutsu you used to teleport to Gato?" asked Sasuke.
"It was the Hiraishin." answered Naruto.
"You mean the Hiraishin? Like the Yondaime's signature jutsu?" asked Sakura. Being a former bookworm, she knew things like that.
Naruto nodded.
"Where did you learn that?" asked Sasuke again.
"Sakura didn't know about my secret, right?" asked Naruto. Sasuke shook his head.
Naruto sighed. "Guess I should start the story." He told Sakura about the Kyuubi. Then he explained how he learnt the Hiraishin and Jikukan Kekkai. Sasuke and Sakura stared at him in awe.
"So, the Hiraishin is like Shunshin, right Naruto?" asked Sasuke.
"Yeah. But the differece is, Hiraishin travelled from a point to another point, while Shunshin is like a fast dash." explained Naruto.
"Maybe we could form another team attack with that new jutsu of yours." said Sasuke.
"Um, guys? How did you all get strong? I felt weak here." said Sakuravoice, looking at her feet.
Guilt spread through Naruto and Sasuke. "Sakura, you're not weak. You've proven your strength. You could form your Inner Self." said Sasuke.
"But I still felt weak. What should I do?" she asked again.
"Your chakra is not much, but your control is awesome. You're suited to be a medic nin or a genjutsu specialist." said Naruto.
"Oh, and there's another alternative. Remember Tsunade of the Sannin?" asked Sasuke.
Sakura nodded. "She was like you. She had little chakra but good control, so she trained in medical ninjutsu. Then she developed a fighting style that required perfect chakra control. Feel like following her steps?" explained Sasuke.
Sakura was inspired by that. She set a determined face. "Right. I'll ask Kakashi-sensei to give me tips for medical ninjutsu and further chakra control training. Then, maybe, I can start to learn Tsunade-sama's chakra fist." said Sakura.
"But first, we should make another team attack." she said. Sasuke and Naruto smiled.
Then, they began to think. "Maybe Sakura should form her Inner Self first. It would make enemies take a step back." said Naruto.
"Then Naruto will make kage bunshins for explosion. Meanwhile, I will use Shunshin and Katons to attack the enemies." said Sasuke.
"Then Naruto will make a hiraishin seal on the ground. He'll teleport his bunshins to the enemies. The bunshins will surround the enemies and explode. The real Naruto grabs me and teleported me with my Inner Self to the enemies for one last punch." explained Sakura.
Team Seven opened their mouth in awe of their genius thinking. "That was awesome!" shouted Naruto.
Then they decided to test it at a tree. There was no sign that the tree was there at all.
"We really made a good team." said Sasuke.
"Just imagine, when Sakura learns the chakra fist, and you obtained the Mangekyo." said Naruto.
They drooled at that thought.
Two weeks later
Kakashi had formed a plan on how to train Sasuke. And those trainings would be, deadly, even for Kakashi. Sharingan can only be awakened through near death battles.
So today will be the start of Sasuke's torture session.
"Aaahhhh!" screamed Sasuke in agony as Kakashi's blade pierced through his abdomen.
Kakashi looked at Sasuke as guilt spread through his body before he removed his blade from Sasuke's stomach.
"Sorry, Sasuke. But I have to do this so you can obtain the three tomoe sharingan." he said in a low voice.
He could see Sasuke's sharingan form another tomoe. Good, Sasuke's left eye had three tomoes while the right one had two.
"One more to go." thought Kakashi.
"That's it for today, Sasuke. Take some time to recover. We'll do this again next week." said Kakashi.
He shunshined Sasuke to Konoha hospital. He placed Sasuke in a room before he shunshined again to the memorial stone. He spent two hours there, talking to an imaginary best friend.
Sasuke was in a world of pain. It was like a second Tsukuyomi for him. He groaned in pain as he positioned himself in the white bed. He was bored. Nothing to do, no one to talk to, and he can only see white. He really hoped Naruto or Sakura would visit.
Just as he thought about that, the white door opened, revealing Naruto and Sakura. They smiled at him. They also brought a flower and a basket full of tomatoes. Sasuke drooled at the sight. He wanted to jump out of the bed and eat the red, round things. But his injuries kept him in the bed. So he just kept drooling rivers.
"How are you feeling, Sasuke?" asked Naruto.
"Pain. Agony. It felt like the Tsukuyomi." he replied.
Naruto gritted his teeth at his words. "We bought a flower and some tomatoes for you."
"Tomatoes!" screamed Sasuke.
Naruto and Sakura jaw dropped. They never thought Sasuke could be like that. Naruto picked a tomato and threw it at Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke launched himself to the tomato and opened his mouth. Then he opened his mouth, let the tomato into his mouth, then squashed the tomato with his mouth. Naruto and Sasuke backed away in fear.
"What's got into him?"
Naruto unconsciously dropped the basket of tomato. That's it. Sasuke went into a tomato rush. Just imagine a dog with a bone. They let Sasuke devour the poor, little tomatoes for a moment.
The tomato rush eventually stopped. Sasuke was back in his beds.
"Thanks." he said.
Naruto and Sakura stared at him for a moment. Then they shook their heads.
"Get well soon, Sasuke. And, good luck in obtaining the three tomoe sharingan." said Sakura.
Sasuke nodded. "Don't forget to bring a basket of tomatoes next time I end up in a hospital."
Naruto and Sakura just looked at each other. "Okay." they said in unison.
Next week
Another torture session for Sasuke. Training ground seven was filled by Sasuke's screams.
Sasuke was tied in a wooden stump. He had various types of weapons stabbed into him. Kunais, katanas, axes, maces, and many, many other. Kakashi was standing in front of him. He looked at Sasuke's eyes.
"Finally. A pair of complete sharingans."
"You obtained the full Sharingan, Sasuke. Rest and recover. Next week, we will try to awaken your Mangekyo." said Kakashi.
Sasuke nodded. He couldn't take the pain anymore. So he let the darkness took after him. Kakashi sighed, then he shunshined Sasuke to the hospital.
The events at the hospital was like the week before. Naruto and Sakura entered the room, Sasuke went on a tomato rush, and Sakura wishing him luck.
With Kakashi
Kakashi felt relieved. He remembered Naruto's words about the Mangekyo.
"Itachi said Sasuke can only obtain the Mangekyo by experiencing his best friend's death." said Naruto.
"Wait, experiencing his best friend's death? Not kill his best friend?" asked Kakashi.
Naruto put his finger to his chin, trying to remember what Itachi said that night.
"Yeah. I was sure I heard him say that."
"Then that means we can use a genjutsu to make him see your, and Sakura's death."
"You're right. But what should I and Sakura do?"
"Just be there. Sasuke didn't know that he would be genjutsued. He will be expecting torture, not your deaths. You two will be there, cheering him up. Then Kurenai, Team Eight's jounin sensei, will cast a genjutsu at him." explained Kakashi.
"That's great. I'll tell Sakura about this." said Naruto as he ran to where he guessed Sakura would be there.
Now
Kakashi was setting up training ground 7. Kurenai was also there, hiding in the bush. Then Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura came.
"Please do your best, Sasuke." said Sakura.
Sasuke nodded. He took a breath as he walked to the wooden stump.
"Ready, Sasuke?" asked Kakashi. Sasuke nodded.
Kurenai casted the genjutsu. "Demonic Illusion: Hell viewing jutsu." she said.
I walked to the wooden stump that was prepared for me. Kakashi tied me up. Then he said something I didn't expect.
"Don't be scared, Sasuke. I won't torture you. Instead, I will kill Naruto and Sakura." he said.
I could imagine an evil grin appear behind his mask.
"Wh-what?" I asked in fear.
Kakashi drew his tanto and thrusted it at Naruto's heart. Naruto widened his eyes. He coughed up blood. Sakura screamed and ran.
"No!" I shouted.
Kakashi shunshined to Sakura and stabbed her. She screamed again. Then he cut her arms. He laughed maniacally.
I looked at him in fear.
"You are too weak Sasuke. You are not worthy to be killed." said Kakashi.
Then I saw crows fly beside Kakashi. The crows formed the person that killed my family.
Itachi.
"How is it, Kakashi?" asked Itachi.
"They're dead. What should we do to him?"
"Just leave him there to die." said Itachi.
Then they laughed as they left the training ground. I could feel my eyes form the Mangekyo.
Before I could do anything, the world changed. Naruto and Sakura was still there, looking at me with concern at their eyes. Kakashi had a look of guilt in his visible eye.
"Calm down, Sasuke. It was just a genjutsu." said Kakashi.
Naruto and Sakura walked closer to me. I took some time to realize that this was just a genjutsu. I looked at Kakashi with doubt.
"It was just a genjutsu, Sasuke. We're still here. We planned this. Remember that Itachi said you should experience your best friend's death to obtain the Mangekyo?" said Naruto.
I nodded. My eyes changed back to the usual, onyx black eyes as I calmed down.
It was a hard day for me.
End chapter 5
I'm sorry if you can't feel what Naruto felt when he met Minato. And when Sasuke was in a genjutsu. I'm not good at that. So please give me tips about dramatic moments. And I'll continue to work again.
