I know it's been like…a year since I updated but it was for a reason. I never updated so I could focus more on my studies and have more time to update during the summer so you'll see at least 2 more chapters into this fanfiction before the summer is over because I'm using up my summer time into making new AMVs also and catching up on anime. Also, I'm holding a Naruto Shippuuden Choice Awards on my Naruto Roleplaying myspace so make sure to check it out! I'll create a new fanfiction explaining all about it in a day or 2 so remember these sites.

Chapter 6: The Battle Royale Part 1
"How could you abandon your own village!?" "No, Kakashi-sensei! I didn't mean it like…" "How could you abandon your own best friends!?" "Sakura-chan, no! I love you guys so…" "You know how much revenge meant to me! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS AFTER YOU KNEW WHAT HE DID TO MY CLAN!?" "Sasuke-kun, please….." "Naruto……..Naruto………….NARUTO!"
Naruto awoke with a scream inside a wooden house. A beam of sunlight was shining through one of the windows. He got out of his bed and looked through the window. He saw beautiful lands of grass, children playing around in the fields and flowers that bloomed so beautifully. He finally realized where he was. He was in the village hidden in the grass. He was at the village he meant to get to the entire time. Only one question was surging through his mind. "How did he get here?" The door to his room began to open and a voice spoke. "I heard you scream. Are you okay?" said the voice. The voice was so familiar that Naruto quickly turned around to check his suspicions. It was exactly who he thought it was. It was the love of his life, Itachi Uchiha. "ITACHI!" Naruto yelled and hopped into his lover's arms. "Oh Itachi, I've missed you so much." Naruto whispered passionately. "As I've missed you, my lovely dobe." And they locked lips, something they've been urging to for so long.
When they finally separated, Naruto's curiosity got the best of him. "How did I get here, Itachi-sama? Itachi frowned. "You mean you have no memory of what happened outside of the village?" he asked, shocked. Naruto pondered his thoughts for a moment. "Well I remember using the Kyuubi's chakra in order to fight Kabuto but from then on, it's a giant blur." "I see…" Itachi replied. "What happened?" Naruto asked impatiently. Itachi paused for a moment before speaking. "You killed Kabuto." He said without hesitation. Naruto gasped. "I really killed him?" he asked as though Itachi told him the impossible. "Yes. You transformed into the Kyuubi and killed him." Naruto looked at Itachi. "How did I change back…?" He asked, gulping. "I penetrated your mind with Tsukyoumi to seal away the Kyuubi's chakra again." Naruto looked at the ground, pondering what was just told to him. He never realized that the power of the Kyuubi was so great. "You even destroyed an entire forest, without any effort." Naruto fell to his knees. "Such power…" he muttered under his breath. Itachi helped him to his feet. Come on, let's get some fresh air outside.
Outside of the village gates, Team Kakashi was ready to enter and fight any battle that was ahead of them. "Hold it right there, Kakashi! You can't enter battle without assistance from the Green Beast of Konoha!" called out a voice from behind them. Kakashi lowered his head. "Please tell me that this is a nightmare and I'm about to wake up…" he muttered under his breath. "I'm afraid not." Sakura replied to her suddenly depressed sensei. Kakashi slowly turned around and there revealed his suspicions. It was Gai, his so called "rival" and his team of Chuunin. "Tsunade-sama sent us as back up!" Gai said, shooting one of his corny smiles and thumbs up poses. "I'm going to murder her slowly…." Kakashi said to himself. "Tsunade-sama filled us in on what happened." Lee said. "How awful." TenTen said. "Well he IS fraternizing with the enemy…." Neji said. "So!? YOU CAN'T BEAT TRUE LOVE!" Lee screamed with passion. His other 2 teammates just stared at him. "So this is the village hidden in the grass?" asked TenTen. "Yes, we were just about to begin our search for Naruto." Kakashi replied. "Well then, let's get going!" Gai said with enthusiasm. United as one team, Teams Gai and Kakashi entered the Hidden Grass Village, in order to find their lost comrade.
As Naruto watched the breeze blew through the fields of grass as he sat with Itachi, all he thought about were the events that took place from the time he left Konoha, up til now and he came to the conclusion that it was all worth it. "Oh Itachi." Naruto said softly. "I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together." Itachi frowned. "I need to talk to you about that." Itachi said in an emotional tone. Naruto became concerned. "What is it?" he asked. Itachi looked at is lover in the eyes. "I think you should go back to Konoha." Tears came to Naruto's eyes. "BUT WHY!?" he screamed. "Because it's where you belong." Itachi said. "You don't want to become a missing nin. You don't know what kind of hell that is. I love you too much to make you a wanted man." Naruto rushed into Itachi's arms. "I know but as long as I have you, I can withstand anything!" Itachi pulled himself free. "You don't see the big picture. Konoha can have you killed if you're not careful. That's what they do to missing nins!" Naruto became frustrated. "I won't go back!" Naruto yelled. "I know you're doing this for me but I want what's best for you and it's living in Konoha. Akatsuki's not the place where you should be. You know your comrades will continue to come after you until you go back with them. It's not time for us to be together and you know that." Naruto looked down at the floor, letting tears run down his cheeks. "Fine…I'll go back." Naruto finally agreed. Itachi embraced Naruto in his arms. "You'll see that this is for the best. You'll understand some day." All of a sudden, a familiar voice shocked both Naruto and Itachi. "That was very touching but I'm afraid that Naruto-kun won't be going back to Konoha. He's coming with me to Orochimaru-sama."
Itachi and Naruto stared in shock. "It's…..it's…." Naruto began. The figure smiled a wicked smile. "Yes, it's me. Kabuto, in the flesh!" Kabuto said with cockiness. "But how?!" Itachi yelled. "I saw Naruto kill you himself! There's no way you could've survived that attack!" Kabuto cackled loudly. "Oh, Itachi. I'm afraid that wasn't me but a lab rat that we were experimenting on. A newly developed jutsu that not only transforms someone into someone different but gives them all of their abilities. But it doesn't stop there! The newly developed curse mark gives the bearer what you witnessed, The Black Chakra, which amplifies your abilities 10-fold!" Itachi was disgusted. "I'm more surprised that the old snake hasn't rolled over and died already." He smirked. "How dare you speak of Orochimaru-sama in such ways!" Kabuto raged. Itachi whipped out a kunai. "Well since you didn't die the last time, I'll make sure it happens now." Kabuto smirked "I beg to differ, Itachi-kun." Kabuto snapped his fingers and a puff of smoke appeared behind him. When the smoke cleared and revealed group behind Kabuto, Naruto's eyes widened. "….No way." Naruto muttered. "Did you miss us?" said one of the figures. "Yes, you had a run in with these guys, didn't you, Naruto-kun." Kabuto asked. "Well now they're 10 times stronger and they're going to drag you back to Orochimaru-sama so how about coming nicely, huh?" Itachi put his arm in front of Naruto. "Not as long as I'm here." He said with confidence. "How noble of you but I'm afraid even you don't have the abilities to take down the new Sound 4." Itachi grew cocky. "We'll see about that." He replied. "Hmph." Kabuto said. "We'll see. Have at it you guys." He said to the Sound 4 and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"This is gonna be fun." Said Kidomaru. "Let's get some well deserved revenge." Tayuya said. Naruto and Itachi got in fighting stances. "KILL THEM!" Sakon yelled and right before they began fighting, a yell came from across a field. "NARUTO!" Everyone looked over to see both Teams Kakashi and Gai finally catching up to their lost friend. Shocked surged through the Konoha shinobi. "No way!" Lee yelled. "This is impossible!" Neji said. "How can this be!?" Sasuke asked. Jirobo chuckled. "More old friends just keep popping up out of nowhere." Kidomaru licked his lips. "I'm going to have so much fun killing them all!" Itachi and Naruto quickly made their way towards the Konoha shinobi. "The only way to defeat them is to work together." Itachi said. "Work with you!?" Sasuke yelled. "You have some nerve-!" "Sasuke!" Kakashi yelled. "We're up against the Sound 4 once again. I hate to say it but Itachi's right. The only way to defeat them is to work together. Now's not the time to fuss over past events." Sasuke grunted but reluctantly agreed. Everyone got into a fighting stance. "This is going to be fun…" Kidomaru chuckled. Kakashi stared down the Sound 4. "Remember, teamwork is the ultimate tool." He reminded everyone else. "Right!" said the rest of the shinobi.
