Chapter 54 Sai's betrayal.
Seth's P.O.V.
I just sat there next to Naruto waiting for the other to show. I waited and waited eventually they showed up Yamato and Sakura, Sai wasn't with them.
"I managed to knock sense back into Naruto. Man I'm exhausted after that."
Yamato stood there looking at Naruto and then at me the back to Naruto.
"I did not expect this, I thought I would have to use the necklace hidden power to seal the ninetails chakra. Tell me how did you do it."
"A lot of shadow clones, smoke restraints and many punches to the head; can I have my bag?" I asked.
"Yes you can." he responded giving me my bag.
Once I received it I started digging through my spar tool until I felt a bottle and pulled it. It was an all white bottle with no label on it I popped it open and took one of small brown pellets out before closing it and tossing back in my bag. I then ate the pellet.
"Ah, Seth what did you just take?" Sakura asked me.
"Food pill mixed with a light pain killer. By the way where's Sai?"
Elsewhere in the forest…
"We should stop and make a decoy I got a feeling someone's going to try and follow us." Kabuto said as he stopped and looked into the trees before pulling out sealing scroll full of dead bodies
A few minutes later…
"And done. This should throw off any body's trail." Kabuto declared revealing a dead body that looked just like Sai, before hanging it by a rope on a tree branch.
"Come on where is it? I know I had it in here." Sai mumbled to himself looking for his missing book.
"Come, we'll be at the base shortly." Kabuto said.
Back with the others…
"Hey Sakura isn't that Sai's book?" I asked pointing to the book in her hands.
"Yeah actually he dropped it."
"Will somebody cut me the hell down!? The blood's rushing to my head!" Well all of a sudden heard Crash yell at the top of his lungs. This was around time Naruto came to. We almost left him behind when we went running towards the source of Crash's voice. When we arrived at it was saw Zabuza and Haku starting to cut Crash down. Crash on the other hand his face was all red from being upside down. As well as his arms and his legs were pulled apart in such an awkward way. Zabuza took out his giant sword and with one swing he cut all four ropes keeping Crash suspended in the air. This resulted on Crash landing on his head from the sudden release.
"Ow! Next time I'm sticking to main path and never passing through poachers territory." He said dazed as he started to get up.
"Crash, how did you even get in that situation in the first place?" I asked.
"I'll just say this I let my guard down and I wasn't paying attention." Hearing that Zabuza let out a laugh not the one he uses to terrify people but, a genuine laugh of joy.
"Anyway while Zabuza is laughing his heart out mind filling me in on what happened while I was hanging." Crash said making Zabuza laugh even harder. Yamato started to fill him in while I was talking to Naruto and Sakura who was still holding Sai's book. Until I suggest that we take a look at what it's inside.
5 minutes later...
"And that's everything Crash. Now we need to go after Sai." Yamato said.
"Okay." Was the response.
30 minutes later outside Orochimaru's hideout…
"Okay we're here. Now will have to plan a strategic entrance, Crash you, Zabuza, Haku, you'll be taking Seth with you, you'll need his eyes to find a different way into the base do to the fact me, Naruto, and Sakura are going to go in the front door and it is bound to trigger some alarms. Which means if their is a back door security will be lessened." Yamato explained.
"Understood if we find Sai we will attempt to capture." Crash responded in a way that sounded like an ANBU speaking.
This was where the team split.
20 minutes later…
"Damn it Sasuke! I swear one of these days I'm going to destroy one of your eyes, before dragging you back with Naruto." I yelled as he tried to strike me with a modified Chidori only for Crash to counter it with the same jutsu only slightly more powerful causing it to be pushed back. Forcing Sasuke to dodge. Naruto was collapsed on the floor barely conscious. Sai was trapped under some rubble he had pushed Naruto out of way from.
Sasuke was starting to get fed up and jump back raising his hand to the sky.
"Now, now, Sasuke I don't think that will be necessary. They might take another member of the akatsuki for us making it easier for you to kill Itachi." Orochimaru spoke up stopping Sasuke from doing whatever he was about to do.
"Hmf, let's leave." Sasuke said before taking off with Orochimaru and his minions.
Naruto started to cry after Sasuke left.
"Hey Naruto don't cry we'll get him back eventually, and don't forget he still has that pendant I gave him during the chunin exam. And besides we got Sai back on our side and he wants to see the true reunion." I said trying to cheer him up. This caused a small chuckle to come from him.
"You're right we will get him eventually even if we." he said getting up.
"I'm glad to see your guy's resolution being restored but, could you get these rock off of me?" I heard Sai say. It was responded with a chuckle from crash before removing the rocks and us going home to recover and get stronger for the future.
I know I skipped over a good chunk of the time in between entering the base and then end but, I was forced to I didn't have the book and going off of memory isn't the easiest thing. I like to thank everyone who's stayed with me this far whoever you may be thank you for reading this fanfic.
