I do not own Naruto or any of the characters, I hope you like this chapter (Not very long I know, sorry)
Five days had past, and Naruto was getting irritated with the constant talking of the nine tails. Every day it talked more and more getting on his nerves. He ran his hands through his hair trying to clear his head but nothing.
"You know when the seal breaks I'll have full control," the deep voice of the nine tails chuckled again. Naruto got up from where he was sitting a called out,
"Hey can I talk to the old lady!" one of the AMBU looked his way. He whispered to another AMBU and he disappeared.
"Getting agitated, how simple," Naruto felt his anger rise as the voice invaded his head. He felt a weird sensation and a grunt from the nine tails, he was trying to force his chakra out! A sharp pain hit Naruto in the gut then his body felt like it was burning from the inside out. He collapsed to his knees with a gasp. The dark blue designs on the walls began to glow Naruto felt pressure pushing down on his body. He gasped for air as he fell on his stomach. The AMBU were shouting but Naruto could hear what they were saying the blood was pounding in his ears. He heard the deep voice of the nine tails curse and stopped pushing. Naruto let out a sharp breath and then another trying to regain his grip. There was sweat on Narutos forehead now and it dripped as his breaths because normal. Tsunade appeared and looked at Naruto she swung open the gates as the dark blue glowing designs faded. Naruto felt the AMBU tense, his senses were heightened because some of the nine tails chakra had leaked. She looked down at him with concern.
"Someone help me please!" she called, one of the AMBUs came over to assist. She turned Naruto onto his back he didn't feel anything. He panicked why couldn't he feel anything?
"I can't feel anything," he scattered the words out. She put a hand on his chest.
"Naruto that's normal. It's part of the designs on the wall, they numb the body while suppressing the nine tails chakra," she gave him a reassuring smile. He lay there as she but a blanket on him and he drifted to sleep. The ordeal had made him tired hopefully it wouldn't happen again.
Sasuke had been training hard for the past few days trying to get stronger and get his emotions out into battle. Naruto always fought with emotion and Sasuke wanted to put that in his fighting but without all those catchphrases. He smiled Naruto always put little catchphrases when he got worked up fighting an enemy. It had been almost a week since he had seen Naruto. He wondered if the blonde was alone or who was watching him. He even wondered where the blonde was being held, was it in the jail? Kakashi saw an opportunity to attack Sasuke he lunged for the raven and pinned him hard on the ground. Sasuke grunted he had been caught off guard Kakashi was so fast. Sakura was looking on as Kakash helped Sasuke up. The raven brushed himself off and Kakashi chuckled.
"Do let your enemy catch you off guard," Sasuke nodded. Sakura and Kakashi sparred for a while leaving Sasuke to throw kuni at a target that was set up he had gotten only a few in the middle. He needed more practice which he was getting now. After an hour or so they stopped at Kakashis voice,
"I think we're good here," he took out his book and began to walk away. Sakura gave a huff and walked towards Sasuke.
"It's a little boring without Naruto here don't you think Sasuke-kun?" Sakura looked at him he was completely bored without Naruto but he didn't say anything yet. Things were only interesting when the dobe was around, there was really nothing intriguing about Sakura.
"Yeah," He gave a small reply.
"Do you want to get something to eat with me?" she asked.
"No I have to meet up someone, sorry," she looked disappointed.
"That's ok..." she gave a weak smile.
"I'll see you later," Sasuke said as he began to leave. He was heading to Tsunades office he wanted to see if he could talk to Naruto. He make his was slowly to the Hokages office training had made him tired. He knocked on her door and Shizune opened it. She looked surprised to see Sasuke, she thought it would be Sakura. Tsunade was tense, she had heard Narutos screams several times today from her office. His screams echoed through the jails cells and up through the wall whoever built this design was her enemy. She didn't like hearing Narutos screams of pain, she hopped they would be done with the seal soon even though it would hurt even more. She rubbed her hand on her forehead hopefully the fox wouldn't try anything while Sasuke was in her office. She didn't want Sasuke getting too involved with this. She looked at Sasuke questioningly,
"What?" she asked with a hint of agitation.
"Can I talk to Naru-" he was cut off by Tsunade
"No," she looked him dead on his eyes locked with hers. Sasuke was angered by the cut off why couldn't he see Naruto for a few minuets?
"Just a minute or something?" he almost pleaded. He wanted to talk to Naruto about Haku if he hadn't already been told. He also wanted to see Naruto just look at him, it seemed like he hadn't been around there for two weeks. Tsunade didn't want Sasuke to interfere, what If something Sasuke did angered Naruto, she wasn't sure how strong the room was because it had never been used before. Right as she began to speak and agonizing scream ripped through the wall. The scream made the room silent Shizune was looking down trying not to look at anyone. The raven looked at Tsunade in shock, what was going on?
"The nine tails is trying to force his chakra out it's painful for a moment but then the body numbs because of the imprints on the walls," she couldn't avoid it now.
"So he..." Sasuke was so confused and aggravated he stood for a moment. Sasuke spoke again, "Can I see him?" he looked at Shizune for help she looked sadden by the whole scene.
"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune piped up.
"Fine!" She threw her hands up in the air. Sasuke hid a relived smile and followed her to the side room. They made their way to where Naruto was, Sasuke passed Haku without a glance when Haku called his name. Sasuke was amazed at the room just like Naruto was when he first arrived. Naruto was sitting against the wall picking at a loose string on his pants with what energy he had left. Tsunade let Sasuke walk over to Naruto while she chatted with the AMBU. Naruto looked up as he heard the footsteps, it was Sasuke. Naruto gave a smile at the raven who replied with one also. Sasuke squatted down by the bars.
"It's open," Tsunade called. Sasuke got up and pulled on the large bars it opened, why was it unlocked? Sasuke stood in front of Naruto,
"How are you?" He asked the blonde.
"I've never been better!" the blonde piped. Sasuke chuckled Naruto looked awful he was all sweaty and he looked like he hadn't gotten much sleep. Sasuke wondered how painful it was, by hearing Naruto scream it sounded pretty painful. He couldn't imagine anything happening at the moment, he didn't want to hear Naruto in pain or see him in any. He didn't want to mention that he heard Naruto's scream earlier he didn't know what kind of reaction he would get.
"Did they tell you about Haku?" Sasuke was now sitting down across from Naruto.
"Yeah Tsunade told me I talked to Haku but nothing nice came out of it," Naruto gave a sigh.
"I'd say Haku is better off then you," the nine tails deep voice gurgled. Naruto ignored the beast who was trying to get a rise out of him.
"I didn't talk to him I just kept walking," the raven said.
"Sasuke Uchiha..." the fox mumbled. Naruto tried to ignore it and he succeeded. Naruto felt the rush of the nine tails chakra.
"Tsunade!" Naruto called, he wanted Sasuke out just in case something happened. The AMBU were so fast Sasuke didn't have a chance to move. He was rushed out as Naruto let out a scream. Sasuke's heart sunk as he caught a glimpse of the blonde riving in pain on the ground. He couldn't even shout Naruto's name. The opening had closed once they were in the jail, Sasuke didn't move.
"And that's why I didn't want you in there," she looked at Sasuke then Shizune. Shizune ushered Sasuke forward until they passed Hakus cell.
"I hear those screams all day and night," Haku glared at Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Haku from the corner of his eye and gave nothing in return. Sasuke knew Haku was trying to get some reaction from him but he didn't want to give him one.
"Shut it!" Tsunade said pushing everyone forward. They made it to her office and silence had fallen over them and Sasuke headed for the door.
"Sasuke wait..." Tsunade said but before she could say anything else he ran out the door. He wasn't sure where he was heading but he needed to run.
Tsunade looked at Shizune and punched the top of the desk with her fist. Shizune was at fault also for edging on Sasuke.
"I shouldn't have let him go. Get Kakashi to check up on him later," she sat in her chair and turned away from Shizune. She left without a word to find Kakashi, she walked slowly towards the center of town.
