Chapter 15
Naruto woke up in the same place he collapsed in. He looked up at the sky, it was getting dark. He didn't have much time. While he was trying to get up knocked over a bowl. What's a bowl doing here?
Naruto looked at the ground to see- what was- bowl of water and 1 rice ball. His eyes widened. Food! He gulped all of it down with no hesitation. When he looked back up he saw a little girl in a floral dress. She looked only to be about 4 or 5. How in the hell did she get here?
"... Was this you?" Naruto asked her. She nodded shyly. He smiled at her.
"Thank you!" He said. "Now I have all the energy I need to save my sensei." He was half talking to himself but the girl piped up.
"Are you going to save someone?" She asked. He looked back at her and nodded.
"Yes." And with a short wave and a smile, Naruto sprinted off. The caves were close now.

Lee and Guy were already at the mountain. Though they were exhausted, they were fast and agile and were able to get to Mount Myöboku fast.
"Lee?" Guy looked over at his student who was sitting on the ground in exhaustion. They were going to have to take a break.

Naruto finally reached his destination. In front of him was a jagged assortment of caves. He gulped at the sight of them. Should I...? No, Naruto! No giving up. Is what he told himself. He shook his head and moved on, as the sky darkened above him. A storm was coming.

Guy suddenly woke from a rest as he heard a thunder clap. He jumped awake and so did Lee. Sleepily, Lee rubbed his eyes.
"Wha-what's going on, sensei?" He asked. Guy frowned at the gloomy sky, which had turned a dark grey.
"A storms coming." Guy looked back to Lee. "And I'm afraid that this might be Naruto's fault."
Lee frowned. "Let's go, Lee." Guy said. Lee nodded firmly and they pressed forward.

Sakura was nearly at Mount Myöboku. Though she was completely distracted and exhausted. She was trying to move faster but she couldn't.
Suddenly she felt a presence behind her and turned around to fight.
"Who's there-" she trailed off and nearly fainted out of exhaustion and relief. It was Sai and Yamato.
"Sai...? Captain Yamato!?" she exclaimed.
"Captain Yamato tried to reason with me and we fought. Though he got me imprisoned with a wood jutsu and talked to me from there. I..." Sai looked down.
"I decided to help you guys." Yamato said. Sakura's eyes widened. "But... You.."
"No more buts. We've got to go and find Naruto!" Yamato waved her off. "There's a full squadron of shinobi coming after us and Naruto." They needed to be quick. Everyone was coming. It was a race against time. Leaf Shinobi against Leaf Shinobi.

Naruto searched many of the caves. All dark and gloomy and just downright creepy.
"Where are you Madara!?" Naruto hissed to himself. Just then he heard a children's crying. He turned around immediately to face one of the biggest caves. He shivered.
"You gotta be kidding me!" He whispered.
He moved cautiously into the cave. When he reached the owner of the cries it turned out to be the girl from earlier. She had gave him the water and food. He gasped.
"Huh! It's you!?" He exclaimed. she didn't answer, she just kept crying.
"Hey, little girl... Uh... How did you get in here?" He asked. Still there was no answer.
"Hey! Kid!" Naruto said, confusion covering his features. No answer. Naruto decided to take action and shook her shoulders.
"Hello!?" he shouted. She stopped crying abruptly. Low moans could be heard from her and Naruto jumped back. She was definitely not the girl from earlier!
Suddenly, her face morphed into a skeleton like figure and a man appeared instead. The man emerged from a crouching position and stood to face Naruto. Naruto blinked.
"I- Itachi Uchiha!? But... your..." Naruto exclaimed in disbelief.
"I am not Itachi Uchiha." Itachi shook his head.
"What!? Then who are you?" Naruto growled.
"Well... Now that would be telling." Itachi tapped his forehead knowingly. Naruto clenched his fists.
"Why? Why take someone who's dead and-" He started but was interrupted by the so-called Itachi.
"I have only took on his form, and his jutsu. Not his real body." Itachi said.
"Where's Kakashi!?" Naruto exclaimed.
"Oh? Kakashi... Well you'll have to defeat me to know that." Itachi smirked. Naruto growled angrily.
"Damn you Madara." He snarled under his breath.

Lee and Guy heard a shout from one of the caves. Guy was carrying a little girl who the two had found unconscious near there. Guy laid her down under a tree and made his way back over to Lee.
Lee pointed to one of the largest caves. "It came from there." He said. Guy nodded and Lee jumped down with him into the maze of caves.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Well isn't that a stupid plot twist? xD Just remember guys that isn't Itachi, so who is it!? Guess you'll have to wait for 2 weeks to find out! ^_^ *Innocent face* Thank ya for tha reviews, you know to be honest I don't want to even go on this holiday cause I'm missing 2 of my friend's birthdays (and parties goddammit!) so that's a bummer :(
This chapter is fast I know, also it leaps between Guy and Naruto alot. I'm actually thinking on writing the fight between Sai and Yamato later on as like a a flashback or something but meh. Oh I also realised that the fight scenes are coming up in the next chapter! Yay! :)But ya thank you guys anyway and I'll see you soon! Adios!
