75. Fight at the Valley of the End!

Steve: Well, here I am again!

Pen-pen: Warrk wark! Wark waar war wa aark?! (About time! What took you so long?!)

Steve: Well… I had everything written up. But then my computer broke. Turned out that it was the hard drive so I had to send it in, but they wiped it fixing it. So then I had to rewrite everything once I got it back which took about two and a half weeks. I am going to do an extra large update though to make it up.

Yui: Still took a while though. Why was that?

Steve: I started rewriting the chapters whenever I had the time which cut down some, thankfully, but not that much.

Hinata: Um… So we're going to see the Valley of the End fight?

Steve: Yup! And it's a LONG chapter to boot. But a little bit more about the voices as well as a little surprise at the end. Anyways, Hinata? Please thank the reviewers?

Hinata: Hai! Thank you:

'Who?' Thoughts

-YO!- Animal speech

000000000000000 Last time on Tales of a Maho Shinobi 0000000000000000000000

'Mikoto-chan…' Clinching his fists, Naruto grits his teeth while growling before speeding up even more then what he was moving at, his mind on the person he's chasing. 'Sasuke you teme… I made a promise to Mikoto-chan and I'll be damned to hell before I break it. Not even you will be able to stop me from keeping it you arrogant asshole!' A few minutes pass and Naruto reaches his destination. Leaping up on a nearby statue beside a waterfall, Naruto looks around with a frown. 'Here… How ironic that we find ourselves at the Valley of the End… eh Sasuke?' Looking across at Sasuke, Naruto scowls. "SASUKE! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING RUNNING HERE!? IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO RETURN TO KONOHA!" For the next few moments Sasuke doesn't react to what Naruto just said and then moves forward as if to keep moving towards Rice Field Country causing a flare of anger in Naruto. "SASUKE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! ARE YOU JUST GOING TO RUN AWAY!? ARE YOU TRULY THAT MUCH OF A COWARD?!" Now Sasuke reacts by stopping. A few seconds pass before Sasuke finally turns around. Naruto starts at the sight of him because he has a single eye with a yellow iris with the white of his eyes having turned black. Also, Naruto notices that his Cursed Seal is partially active. "Sasuke…?" He just gives Naruto a bored look.

"Hey there… Dobe."

000000000000000000000000000 Now

Both shinobi just stand there silently for several moments, not saying anything to the other when Sasuke snorts in derision. "I see… so they sent you, eh dobe?" Naruto just narrows his eyes at the wayward Uchiha as his face becomes pinched causing Sasuke to chuckle. Naruto just clinches his fist so hard it starts to shake, a single word coming from his mouth.

"Why…?" Naruto then looks up at him with a face nearly caught in a snarl. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!? WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD HAVE MADE YOU BECOME LIKE THIS!?" Sasuke just gives him an impassive stare before he answers.

"And what… may I ask… does any of this have to do with you?" He then shakes his head with an amused glint in his eyes. "Let me explain something to you, in a manner that you can understand. I have my own path in life, and I won't let anyone lead me any other way then what I have chosen, no matter who it is." Sasuke then goes back to giving him an emotionless gaze as he watches Naruto clinch his teeth in rage. "Let me make this perfectly clear to you… My days of playing childish games of 'Ninja' are over. Go home." Naruto just shakes his head sadly before glaring at Sasuke.

"Choji… nii-san… Neji…. Kiba… Shikamaru… Lee…. They risked everything, even their very lives, in order for me to get this far and bring you home." Sasuke just shrugs before his next words piss Naruto off.

"Good for them I guess. I never asked for them to come." Naruto glares at the ground as Sasuke begins to walk away. Suddenly he stops as a shadow makes itself known in front of him moments before he turns to find Naruto clearing the space between the two statues in a flying leap.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU FOR YOU TO TURN AGAINST YOU COMERADES YOU TEME!" Naruto then punches him in the side of the face sending him flying. Just as he comes to a stop after sliding along the ground, Naruto grabs him and punches him in the side of the face. Naruto stays like that for a moment before Sasuke looks up at him and spits a glob of bloody spittle onto Naruto's face. Naruto just snarls at this before shaking him and bringing their faces closer. Sasuke just snorts at the anger in Naruto's face.

"Why? Tell me something dobe… would I get more power if I stayed with these… comrades? No." He then shakes his head with a maniacal grin on his face. "I am going to Orochimaru and there's nothing that you can do about it. He'll give me the power that I need." Naruto just stares at him in shock for several moments before narrowing his eyes at him in a glare.

"Are you insane Sasuke?! Orochimaru was the one who tried to destroy Konoha and kill the Sandaime! Hell! He tried to kill Tsunade and Jeraiya as well when he had the chance! Do you honestly think that he's going to give you the power that you want for free! Think again! He just wants your body for his own! Do you have any idea what that means?! YOU WILL NO LONGER EXIST! YOU WILL BE WORSE THEN DEAD SINCE HE'LL HAVE ABSORBED YOUR SOUL INTO HIMSELF! EVEN FOR ALL THE FACT THAT YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE, I CAN'T LET YOU GO AND GAIN THAT FATE!" Sasuke just looks at him with an emotionless face.

"Are you done yet? Let me tell you this in words that even you can understand: I just don't care." Sasuke then glares at Naruto who's looking on in shock. "All that concerns me is accomplishing my goal of killing Itachi. Other then that I don't care. I just can't help it though if you keep getting in my way." Naruto just pulls him closer before replying, growling out his reply.

"You can't do it. I won't let you do it and I will drag you back by force!" Sasuke just laughs at Naruto's proclamation. Both their minds flash back to the fight they had on the hospital roof before Sasuke smirks.

"If I recall correctly… Our fight was interrupted." Naruto just looks at him is disbelief before glaring at him.

"That fight… wasn't the one I truly wanted… Even now…" While he's distracted, Sasuke's seals spreads some more and then he surprises Naruto by grabbing him by the throat before quickly getting up and lifting him into the air. Before Naruto can react though Sasuke drops him only to land a devastating punch to Naruto's ribs, breaking some of them and sending him flying off the statue and into the river below. He then falls down the waterfall and into the canyon at its bottom. Sasuke doesn't pay any of this any attention, all too focused on his hand he punched Naruto with. 'All this power… it's coming from IN me… and the seal isn't even fully active yet!' He then sways a little as he gets hit with a burst of pain shooting through his body like a thousand little red-hot needles. As he winces, the Cursed Seal slowly retracts back to his shoulder. Sasuke then grins and starts to chuckle. "So this is the power that Orochimaru was talking about then… And I can feel it synchronizing with my body!" He then glances at his shoulder where he knows that the seal is located. 'And if that was the amount of power that it can grant me when it's only partially activated… then how much power would I have if I was to release it fully…?!' Meanwhile down in the canyon below, Naruto winces as he feels his ribs start to knit back together as he berates himself for what happened.

'You baka! How many times do you have to be reminded to NEVER assume things! Kuso! Ugh… I can't believe the power he just had… he's definitely not the same Sasuke from before that's for damn sure! I'm going to have to make sure not to underestimate him if I'm going to bring him back!' Naruto's eyes then pop open showing the first stage of the Mahogan, the glow seeming to intensify due to his anger at himself as well as his determination. Getting up out of the water, Naruto rushes up and uses Shunpo to launch himself up almost the full height of the waterfall as Sasuke launches off the head of Madara's statue towards Naruto. He goes to kick Naruto only for the blonde to hook a leg around his extended one and smash his own foot into Sasuke's face sending flying back onto the statue. Naruto then lands on top of the statue and looks down at Sasuke with a look of complete contempt as he wipes a trail of blood away from his bottom lip. "So.. Tell me something teme? Did that kick just wake you up or do you need me to beat the crap out of you some more?" Sasuke just chuckles as he shakes his head.

"I've been awake this entire encounter… I've been awoken from a fool's dream that I had. A dream where I was happy with comrades drunken in the assurance of peace." He then disappears and reappears behind Naruto who's eyes don't betray his surprise. "And that is why I left that foolish village. THAT'S WHY I'M SEEKING POWER!" He then goes to punch Naruto again, only this time for Naruto to block the hit with one of his armguards causing the Uchiha to wince as it feels like he just busted his knuckles. It does its job though of knocking Naruto off the statue and back into the canyon. As Naruto his lands on his feet on the water below, Sasuke shakes his hand as his lip curls in derision. "The future is NOT where my dream lies… it lies in the past as it always has…" Naruto looks up as Sasuke seems to space out and uses this time to concentrate on healing his recent wounds. After a minute or two Sasuke seems to snap out of it and look down at him as Naruto watches him wearily.

'You're right Neji… Sasuke is stuck in the darkness… one of his own making. I can only hope that I can possibly snap him out of this for you Mikoto-chan…`Naruto then gives a cocky grin (though he doesn't feel like it). "Ì see then… you're actually serious about this… Kuso, and here I thought it was you're typical teenage angst." Sasuke just narrows his eyes at him in a glare.

"Yes… I am serious. I was aiming to kill you dobe…" Naruto just gives him an impassive look for a moment before replying.

"So then… am I correct in assuming that you no longer see me as a friend then? Because, you know, friends do not try to kill friends. Was everything we did as Team Seven meaningless for you then?" Sasuke just closes his eyes before answering.

"… No." Sighing Sasuke sighs to himself despite a voice telling him to stop. 'I will do anything… to gain THAT power…' He then opens his eyes revealing his Sharingan. "No… it was not meaningless to me. You see Naruto… you have become my closest friend… I could even say that you are my best friend…" Those words shock Naruto to the core as he realizes exactly why Sasuke just tried to kill him causing him to growl.

"You… YOU COMPLETE TEME! IS THAT ALL I AM TO YOU?! NOTHING MORE THEN A WAY FOR YOU TO GAIN THAT ACCURSED EYE! THE MANGEKYO!" Sasuke takes a step back as he looks on in shock that Naruto knew about it as Naruto continues his diatribe. "You fucking baka! Do you have any idea of the price that comes with that eye? Huh!? Do you!?" Naruto then shakes his head in complete disgust before glaring back at him. "Then let me tell you, shall I? The price for those eyes is that as you use them your eyesight slowly decreases until finally you go completely blind! You will find yourself lost in the darkness, one of your own making. A punishment that would be hell for a doujutsu user! Is that what you want!?" Sasuke just grits his teeth for a moment before he shakes his head.

"I don't know how you know that dobe, and I really don't care either." Naruto just glares at him before sighing.

"I guess that you must be serious about this then… So be it I guess." Seeing the hard look in Sasuke's eyes, Naruto mentally sighs. 'Mikoto-chan… I'm so sorry that it has come to this… but I WILL keep my promise to you.' The two just charge each other, with Sasuke running down the statue and Naruto across the river towards the foot of it. Naruto reaches the foot of the statue first and runs up it, the two meeting about midway up it. They then throw a punch at each other only for them to catch each other's attacks. The stalemate only lasts so long before Sasuke gives and, as he ducks Naruto's punch, grabs one of Naruto's kunai from his pouch and goes to stab him with it. Naruto just grabs one of his knives and uses it to block it. Naruto's foot then comes up and nails Sasuke under the chin, causing him to drop it. As he goes flying, Sasuke does a backwards flip and kicks Naruto in the chest sending him into the air. Landing on the water while holding his slightly bruised ribs, he looks up and glares at Sasuke's Sharingan eyes. Sasuke just grins at Naruto from his perch.

"I told you this before Naruto, but this time there's no bitch or Kakashi to stop our fight… the one that you have been waiting for right?" Sasuke then vanishes from his spot and reappears on the waterfall. "You know this already dobe, but I WILL kill you this time!" He then goes through three hand seals and holds his left hand by the wrist as a ball of lighting gathers around it, shouting out the technique's name. "CHIDORI!" Naruto just shakes his head and sighs.

"Seems like I'm just going to have to beat some real sense into you teme." He then holds his hand off to the side as chakra starts to swirl in his palm. It only takes about ten seconds for it to form into a fully formed Rasengan. As he's doing this Sasuke's rushing towards him with the Chidori blazing. In reply, Naruto channels some chakra into his legs and shoots off right at Sasuke in a blur. For the two, time itself seems to slow as they come closer and closer until they collide. The force of the two attacks colliding actually creates a crater in the water as sparks and winds shoot everywhere. Gritting hit teeth, Naruto begins to put more into the Rasengan as Sasuke presses his own attack. 'Kuso… I thought that Ero-sannin told me that the Rasengan was better then the Chidori!' It's at that point that he hears an ominous cracking sound and looks at the Rasengan to see cracks in the attack's shell before it and the Chidori explode as they cancel each other out. While Sasuke's shot into the canyon wall, Naruto manages to stay on his feet. "Fuck… talk about a backlash…" Sasuke just glares at him as he wipes his chin.

"Why…" Naruto just raises an eyebrow at him as if asking what he means causing Sasuke to growl out his question. "Why… Why are you so obsessed with bringing me back to Konoha!? What is in it for you!?" Naruto just snorts before shaking his head.

"What's in it for me…? Nothing. I'm doing this because I promised someone close to me that I would protect you from anything, even yourself. And to do that I have to bring you back!" Sasuke just looks at him in confusion.

'All of this… because of a promise?' He then sneers at Naruto. "I see… so that fan girl is only dating you so that you can protect me… HA! How amusing dobe! And you can't even see that she still wants me and is only using you for her own ends!" Naruto just snorts causing him to blink once more.

"Sakura-chan? Using me? Now that's a laugh. She does want me to bring you back, but only so that she can beat the crap out of you for leaving and I will be right there watching and laughing my ass off at you. But no. She's not the person that I was just talking about. That person is my former sensei… Your Okaa-san, Uchiha Mikoto." Sasuke's eyes widen at that before he starts to shake his head in denial.

"No…" He then looks up at Naruto with his eyes fixed in a glare. "You're lying! My Okaa-san was NEVER your sensei! I would have known if she was! Hell! She would never have let herself be even SEEN with trash like you!" Naruto just snorts in derision.

"You would have known? Pah-leese! You didn't know anything Sasuke! Tell me something, how much did you really know about her? What was her favourite color? Food? What was her dreams? Her past? Admit it Sasuke, you never really knew your own kaa-san. Did you know that despite being a Chunin, she was the equivalent of a Jounin? And that the only reason that she wasn't still an active ninja was that your dear Otou-san and the Uchiha clan council decided that she had more value to the Uchiha clan as a baby producer then as a ninja?" Sasuke just snarls at Naruto, his Sharingan spinning in his rage.

"You fucking son of a bitch! My Otou-san would NEVER have done that or allowed it to be done to her! He loved her! And she loved him!" Naruto just shakes his head sadly.

"No… he didn't I'm afraid. All he cared about was the clan. There are dark secrets about your clan that you do not know and nor are you ready to hear them." Sasuke just snarls with a few tears gathered in his eyes.

"You're lying! I know that you're lying and nothing you say can change that! Next thing that you're going to say is that she didn't love me either!" Naruto just sighs.

"No… I'm not going to say that Sasuke. Because she did. That's why I'm doing this. She asked me to take care of you and to protect you from anything. Even yourself. And I plan to take that promise seriously. So get ready Sasuke… because rather or not you want to, you are coming back with me!" Sasuke just glares at him as he starts thinking about what he needs to do.

'That… That teme! I am going to kill him! But how…. As long as he can use that attack of his I can't use the Chidori…' Suddenly his mind flashes back to the wave mission as he smirks. 'I got it!' Going through several handsigns, Sasuke takes a deep breath. "Katon! Ryuuka no jutsu!" As the stream of fire starts heading towards him, Naruto goes through his own handsigns.

"Teme! Suiton! Suijinheki!" A mass of water then rises in front of Naruto and protects him from the fire only for the two colliding jutsu to fill the area with steam causing Naruto's eyes to widen as he realizes that he can no longer see Sasuke. 'Shit! Where the hell is he!' Hearing something, he turns just in time to get hit with Sasuke's next attack.

"Raiton! Zenshin fuzui rakurai no jutsu! (Lighting Release! Total Paralysis Thunderbolt!)" Naruto gets hit with a blue bolt of lighting that arcs through his body. Almost immediately, Naruto finds himself unable to move and, just before he falls backwards into the water, is grabbed by the scruff of his neck by a gleeful Sasuke. "Like it dobe? Personally, it's one of the less useful Jutsu that Kakashi taught me before the finals. He even taught it to me so that if I faced you guys I could use it and win without hurting you! HA! As if!" Sasuke then frowns a little as he feels a headache come on causing him to wince. A moment later a female voice makes itself known.

'Sasuke! Please stop this! You know that he's only trying to help! Why are you still following this path!? Why can't you let him help!? Just stop!' Sasuke just growls as he looks around.

"I don't know who you are so shut up! I'm doing this because I am an avenger! I need power! I have to do this… No, I NEED to do this! I have to avenge my family! So leave me alone!" Naruto just blinks at this in confusion as to who he's talking to.

'Okay… I wonder if the teme has finally snapped…' Suddenly he remembers his own hallucinations. 'Then again…' Mentally shaking his head, Naruto begins to focus on moving his muscles and finds that he can barely even get a twitch from them instead. Sasuke also shakes his head free of his thoughts and grins at Naruto before throwing him upwards and going through the seals for Chidori. He grabs Naruto again with one hand once he reaches arms length, not noticing Naruto's arm twitching.

"Well Dobe… say GOODBYE!" He juts his lighting covered hand forwards and a spray of blood hit's the water…

00000000000 Back in Konoha: Evidence Room under the Hokage Tower 000000000

Looking over some files, Kyubi (in her full human form) suddenly stops as she stumbles backwards as if she was just struck while clutching at her chest, her eyes wide open and slightly wild. 'Wha… what was that!? Why… Why does my chest hurt? And why do I feel like something really bad just happened…' Blinking in confusion, Kushina walks over and lays a hand on Kyubi's shoulder causing her to flinch as she's brought out of her thoughts. This, more then anything, tells Kushina that something is wrong.

"Kyu-chan? What's wrong? It just looked like you had a panic attack or something?" It's at this point that Kyubi turns around revealing her wide eyes which are full of fear before she throws herself into Kushina's embrace. Blinking down at the girl in her arms, Kushina just rubs her back softly and slowly through her shirt. "Kyu? Come on, tell me what's wrong." Kyubi just mumbles something causing Kushina to raise an eyebrow as even with her ninja hearing she can't make out what was just said. "Can you please repeat that for those of us who can't speak mumblise?" Blushing slightly, Kyubi pulls away and looks Kushina in the eyes and gulps.

"I.. I don't know why but… I feel like something bad has just happened to Naruto-kun. My heart is hurting and I feel really cold." Shivering slightly, she leans back into the embrace and closes her eyes. "And it feels like my stomach as a weight in it too…" Kushina just gulps before trying to reassure the kitsune (as well as herself).

"I'm sure that it's nothing Kyu-chan… You just must have had eaten something that doesn't agree with you, that's all…" Kyubi just looks up at her with a raised eyebrow causing Kushina to sweatdrop. "… I really don't sound convincing… do I?" Kyubi just shakes her head before Kushina pulls away with a sigh. "I'll go check with Tsunade to see if I can't get something out of her about the mission he's on, okay? Will that do?" Kyubi just nods at that.

"Yeah… that would be a great help, Kushina-san. I don't know why I am so worried but…" Kushina just nods her head as a shiver makes it's way up her spine.

"Yeah, you just have to know. I'll be back in a moment." She then walks out the door leaving Lily and Kyubi alone in the room, not telling either of them that she, too, is feeling as if something is wrong. After a few moments Lily shouts out causing Kyubi to jump.

"AH-HA!" hearing a thump, she turns to see Kyubi leaning against a desk breathing quickly causing her to rub the back of her neck. "Um… Sorry about that Kyu." Shaking her head, Kyubi just walks over, thankful for something to get her mind off what she's feeling.

"That's fine. So, what's got you so excited?" Lily just smiles as she shows a small envelop in her hands. Kyubi just blinks before walking over. "What's that? Wait a second, that looks like one of those…" Lily just smiles before finishing her thoughts.

"An evidence envelop. That's because it is a evidence envelop." Lily then points at the words on it. "See? It says 'Broken vial found on Uchiha Mikoto's body + glass shards extracted from wound'. This is what we've been looking for Kyu!" Kyubi's eyes widen as a small smile breaks onto her face.

"That's great news! We finally found it!" Lily nods and is about to say something when they hear a shout from Kushina.

"YOU DID WHAT YOU FUCKING BAKA BITCH!?" The two red heads look at each other and gulp as Kyubi's eyes gain some fear in them.

"That… does NOT sound good at all." Lily just nods in agreement as a wild looking Kushina rushes in and looks at the two before running over to Kyubi and grabbing her by her shirt collar.

"Kyubi, do you remember how you told me that you and Naru-chan share a mental connection with each other? Even when you're separated like you two are right now?" Kyubi just slowly nods, slightly confused with where the conversation is going.

"Um… yeah, I do have one with him Kushina-san. Unfortunately he's too far for me to contact him through it. Why? What's wrong?" Kushina just scowls.

"Can you track him through it? Yes or no?" Blinking, Kyubi nods. "Okay, that's good. I'm going to need your help." Lily just repeats Kyubi's earlier question, the answer causes both women to pale. "That fucking bitch of a Hokage sent Naru-chan, Ry-chan, and several genin on a S-rank mission because she had no other choice! Apparently the Uchiha just defected and took off with Orochimaru's elite guards and she sent them after them!" Lily just licks her suddenly dry lips before taking a deep breath.

"Okay, you two head out and I'll fix things up here and then catch up." Seeing the looks directed towards her she sighs. "Right now I'm a right mess and if we leave things the way they are then someone might figure out what we're doing here. I'll tidy up and then be on my way. I don't need you two here for that so GO!" Both Kyubi and Kushina nod before they take off. Taking a shuddering breath, Lily wraps her arms around herself before shuddering. Taking a moment to gather herself, she quickly nods before casting a spell on the vial and fragments. After a seconds she smiles a little. 'Smart girl… I do wonder how she managed this, but…' Her eyes then harden as she quickly begins to tidy up. 'But that is something for a later time.' Meanwhile at the Village gates, both Kyubi and Kushina barge through them, ignoring the shouts of the guards stationed there. After a few minutes, Kyubi looks beside her at the worried mother before sighing.

"Kushina-san…" Kushina just nods to show that she is listening. "We need to start moving there a LOT quicker or else we might not make it in time." Kushina just giver her a small glare.

"Do you think that I don't know that?! Because I do!" Seeing Kyubi flinch, Kushina just sighs and shakes her head. "I… I didn't mean to yell at you Kyu-chan. I'm… just so fucked up at the moment that I'm not thinking straight through my feelings. I'm just so worried right now." She then gives Kyubi a slight smile. "So what is your idea Kyu-chan?" Kyubi just takes a breath before letting it out.

"Well… I need you to get on my back…" Seeing the strange look Kushina shoots her, she chuckles a little. "Not like that! Get your mind out of the gutter!" Kushina just looks a little sheepish at that before Kyubi continues. "As I was saying… If you get on my back, then I can use my chakra to boost my speed and make it to where Naruto-kun is a lot faster then what we are." Thinking it over, Kushina nods before leaping onto the still moving kitsune's back.

"As they said in that show 'High ho Silver away!'" Kyubi just snorts at that.

"More like 'High ho Red away!'" She then frowns as a red aura springs into being around her. "And don't worry about my Youki harming you, I won't let it." Kushina only has time to nod before Kyubi shoots forwards, becoming nothing more then red comet streaking over the landscape. A few minutes later Lily flies over the spot following the tracking charm she put on them. None of them noticing as they pass a certain silver haired Jounin on their way…

00000000000000000 Back in the Valley of the End 000000000000000000000

Sasuke's standing there with a slight scowl as he looks at the sight before him: Naruto with Sasuke's arm buried in the right side of his chest, Naruto's vest having only slowed down the attack due to the distance. The hand he had used to deflect the Chidori is also gone, cut off at the wrist. Sasuke then snorts as he begins to chuckle. "I have to admit, actually deflecting my Chidori was impressive dobe. Unfortunately, you lost you hand doing it. Also, I just destroyed you lung. Instead of a instant death, you're going to die painfully slow from drowning in your own blood." Sasuke then laughs again. "And that's not even mentioning how you can no longer move your now non-existent hand since all the nerves there are fried!" Sasuke is so busy laughing that he doesn't see Naruto move until it's too late. The rogue Uchiha suddenly finds his arm being held in a tight grip. Looking down, his eyes widen as he sees what looks to be bones forming from a dark red chakra recreating Naruto's destroyed hand. Naruto just snarls as he pulls Sasuke's hand out of his chest, the wound hissing as it slowly closes shut with a red aura shimmering just over his skin. His grip tightens as the muscles regrow and get covered by new skin. This, of course, causes Sasuke's eyes to widen as he freaks out. "Wha… WHAT THE HELL!? WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU!?" Naruto flinches a little before smirking at him.

"What kind of monster am I? The kind that you should fear!" Sasuke doesn't see the fist that sends him flying into the canyon wall, but he does feel it. Stumbling to his feet, Sasuke just stares in disbelief as Naruto walks towards him. "What's the matter Sasuke? Realizing now that you have no way out anymore? That for all your arrogance, you find yourself on the wrong end of a fight?" Sasuke just grits his teeth as his Curse Seal erupts fully and spreads across his body.

"Dobe… You have no idea as to what you are talking about." Sasuke then begins to stand as Naruto stops with a slightly amused look. "You can't defeat me. Only an Uchiha can defeat an Uchiha!" Going through his hand seals, he then blows out a ball of fire. "Katon! Goukyaku no jutsu!" Once the fire dissipates all that's left is a steaming area. Sasuke's eyes then widen as he hears Naruto just beside him.

"Is that all you got? Foolish little Uchiha." Twisting in place, Sasuke turns just in time to receive a backhand to his face sending him flying again. Shaking his head, Naruto watches as Sasuke spit's a glob of blood into the water before charging him. Naruto just gets into the Academy stance. The two begin to trade punches and kicks. Ducking under an uppercut, Sasuke lands a blow to Naruto's abdomen causing him to bend in half before bringing his knee up and breaking Naruto's nose. It heals almost instantly as Naruto uses a spinning heel kick to nearly take Sasuke's head off. Shaking it off, Sasuke tries to punch Naruto only for him to catch it. Trying with his other hand, the same thing happens. Naruto then uses this opportunity to head butt Sasuke twice driving him to his knees, before using his arms as leverage to land a double kick to Sasuke's face. Landing on the water, Naruto charges the now disorientated Uchiha and lands several other blows on him in quick succession. Naruto then backs off as Sasuke falls to his knees coughing.

'Damn him… how is he… so powerful!? Where is he getting his strength, I need that strength, not him!' Sasuke then flinches as he feels a stinging sensation in his eyes only to find that his vision is now clear. "Wha…" He then glances down at his reflection only to grin at seeing three tomo in each eye. "HAHAHAHAHA! You see it now dobe!? MY SHARINGAN IS NOW FULLY EVEOLVED! YOU CAN NO LONGER STOP ME!" Scowling, Naruto charges in, only to find that this time Sasuke is dodging the attacks. Naruto just shakes his head, slightly disgusted with himself.

'Looks like I'm going to have to kick it up a notch…' He then looks at Sasuke and grins. "As No-Brows would say… Say hello to the most exquisite of the ninja arts! Kirigakure no jutsu!" Trying to prevent the jutsu, Sasuke charges him only to miss Naruto in the cloud of fog. Whipping around, Sasuke begins to growl as Naruto's voice echoes out. "What's the matter Sasuke? Can't see even with your oh so wonderful Sharingan? Let me tell you some teme, you are far too reliant on that eye. Even Kakashi is better in a situation like this then you are… In fact I'm pretty sure that Itachi is better then you." This of course enrages Sasuke as his face goes red.

"YOU TEME! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!? COME OUT HERE AND FACE ME LIKE A REAL MAN!" The only answer he receives is a laugh.

"Why should I teme? It's the truth after all. Besides, we're ninja, striking from the shadows is part of the job." Naruto's voice seems to be coming from behind him and Sasuke swiftly turns to see a shadow. Grinning, he throws a kunai at it causing it to stumble before it disappears. He sees another shadow and hits that one as well. Meanwhile outside the mist, Naruto grins as he sends in another Bushin.

'Hmm… I wonder how much longer this is going to last before he realizes that he's wasting chakra and weapons on my Kage Bushin…' An massive explosion of fire then erupts evaporating the mist causing Naruto to shrug as he sees a panting Sasuke there covered in scratches and cuts. "Guess that it was only for that long." He then leaps down from his perch and starts to slowly walk towards Sasuke. "So… you ready to stop this teme and go back peacefully?" Sasuke then tries to get back up only to fall back on his knees as Naruto shakes his head. "Look at you, you can't even stand up on your own two legs." Sasuke just begins to growl as he tries to get back up.

"You…" Gritting his teeth, the Curse Seal slowly grows causing his skin to darken as a white X forms over his nose while his hair whitens until it's a pure white. "You…" Naruto's eyes then widen as he watches two large wings shaped like hands burst from his back. "You teme! I'm going to kill you!" Sasuke then glares at him before charging him. A part of Naruto's shocked mind notes that somehow Sasuke's not touching the water, but rather is floating above it. Fortunately for Naruto, his body automatically reacts to Sasuke's attack and blocks it before he Apparates out of range. Naruto then scowls at the Uchiha before shouting at him.

"Baka! Look at you! Do you see what you've turned into?! You're a monster of your own making!" Sasuke just scoffs before smirking and clinching his fist.

"You're wrong dobe! This… This power! This is the type of power that I need in order to kill Itachi and avenge my family! Power that Konoha couldn't give me! Power that they were too scared to give me!" Naruto just scowls before shaking his head in sadness.

"I'm so sorry Sasuke… So sorry that you've fallen so far. What would your Okaa-san have said if she was still alive…" This, as expected, sets Sasuke off as he charges Naruto in a rage.

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH DOBE! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF MY KAA-SAN!" What happens next is a fierce Taijutsu battle with the two hitting each other and remodelling the entire valley with their blows (misses and impacts from those that hit). Finally, the two leap away from each other. Breathing hard, Naruto glares at his opponent before spitting a glob of blood and wincing as he feels his busted ribs.

'Fuck! What the hell is going on here?! I know that I shouldn't be arrogant, but he's still beating me! Just how big of a boost did that fucking thrice damned seal give him!" growling in his throat, Naruto unleashes a barrage of spells at Sasuke who vanishes in a swirl of leaves causing him to curse. "SHIT!" A voice behind him causes his eyes to widen as he whips around.

"And you always talk about my Kaa-san dobe, what would your's think of you swearing?" Naruto just manages to turn in time to receive a devastating uppercut that launches him into the air, actually cracking and breaking some of his teeth. Sasuke then gains a sickening grin before once again vanishing and reappearing under Naruto as the bandages on his arms unwrap and wrap around the slightly dazed Naruto. He then twits and the two go flying downwards with Sasuke calling out the move that he had copied from Lee. "Omote Renge!" Naruto's head impacts with the ground with a sickening crack as it's buried. Looking at him for a moment, Sasuke scoffs before turning only to stop as he hears a cracking sound making his eyes go wide. "What…? Tha-that's impossible! He can't still be alive!" Turning, he starts to shake as Naruto pulls himself free from the rock. Naruto then snarls as he reaches up and twists his neck back into position before grinning ferally at the scared Uchiha.

"What's that matter Sasuke? Surprised?" Sasuke just takes a step back before the red aura around Naruto bursts into a even fiercer conflagration and forms the Fox-cloak around him. Naruto then seems to fade out of existence causing Sasuke to sweat. Sasuke just whips his head this way and that, looking for Naruto while hoping that his Sharingan will give him time to react.

"Where… where is he?! How the hell did he vanish and why can't I sense him…?!' Suddenly, Sasuke gulps as he realizes why. 'The air… the air is full of that red chakra! It's somehow blocking my ability to sense him due to the amount!' His thoughts go blank a moment later as agony rips it's way through him. Hearing a thump he only has time to scream before he's driven into the canyon wall on the opposite side. Grunting, he pulls himself out and looks over at where he was to find a grinning Naruto watching him while flicking the blood from the blade of his knife, one of Sasuke's "wings" laying at his feet. Growling, Sasuke begins to go through several handsigns before taking a breath. "Katon! Hosenka no jutsu!" Naruto just snorts before waving his hand and stopping the fireballs where they are in the air. And then with a fanged smirk and a wave, he sends them right back at Sasuke who dodges. Landing on the wall above him, Sasuke takes a short breath and looks up only to find himself looking into two pitch black eyes with blue slits and red, glowing veins. This, of course, is right before he finds his face grabbed by a claw made of red chakra. Naruto then proceeds to run along the wall, Sasuke being dragged along behind him through various obstacles until Naruto throws him across the river and into the wall opposite them. Sasuke doesn't get a break as Naruto appears before launching him into the air with a kick. A Kage Bushin then appears above him and kicks him again as more appear. Finally, he slams into the ground and lays there groaning. Naruto just raises an eyebrow as he slowly walks forwards.

"Looks like you're all out of steam teme. You got nothing left in you now. Just give it up, you failed/ That's all there is to it." Naruto then stiffens as he hears a familiar chuckle behind him.

"Ah… Naruto-kun. You're always good for a good laugh." Whipping around, Naruto sees Kabuto there with another Sound ninja beside him who has a tied up and battered Tayuya slung over his shoulders. Kabuto just smirks as he notices where Naruto is looking. "Looking at dear Tayuya-chan I see. I wouldn't worry too much about her you know." At this point unknown to everyone, Tayuya wakes up but continues to act like she's asleep. "Yes, I wouldn't worry too much about her Naruto-kun. You see, Orochimaru-sama has already given me the go ahead to let me use her in some of my personal experiments. And if she survives?" Kabuto just chuckles. "And if she survives, she'll be excellent as a breeder… Once all her attitude is beaten out from her that is." Suddenly Kabuto and the Sound nin find that they can no longer breath due to a massive burst of KI, The source, of course, is Naruto. A second tail rapidly joins the first as he growls.

"You… teme! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Naruto then vanishes before reappearing right in front of the two. Knocking Kabuto aside, he claws the Sound nin in two before catching Tayuya in his arms. Tayuya for her part gasps as she feels the warmth of the chakra as well as in pain as her broken bones rub up against one another. Naruto's attack is short lived as Kabuto appears behind him and hits him in the back with a chakra scalpel. Watching as he stumbles, even as the Youki begins to repair the damage, Kabuto chuckles before leaping to the shore of the river.

"I would kill you Naruto-kun, but it seems that someone else has first dibs on you." Hearing what sounds like the flapping of a flock of birds, Naruto looks over his shoulder to find Sasuke rushing towards him with a fist of black lighting. Naruto just holds onto Tayuya tighter as he shields her with his body causing her eyes to widen as she tries to hang onto consciousness.

'First he saves me… and now… he's trying to protect me by giving up his life… Wha…' At last her world fades to blackness of blissful unconceness. Naruto just closes his eyes, unable to move out of the way due to the injuries in his back as Sasuke plunges the black Chidori towards Naruto's back…

….

….

(AN: I could be an ass and leave it here but… You guys reading this would likely kill me for it.)

Only for it to be knocked off course as two feminine hands grab Sasuke's fist deflecting it and causing it to plunge into Naruto's Shoulder just above it's original target. Second, the same two hands then punch Sasuke sending him flying backwards. Getting up, Sasuke shifts back to normal as the Curse Seal retracts. His eyes then widen seeing two nude girls standing between him and Naruto. One looks similar to Naruto's Oroike no jutsu form except she's thirteen years old and has waist length red hair and two whisker marks on her cheeks. The girl beside her looks to be twelve with a slender body type and looks a lot like a younger version of Mikoto except her hair raises slightly in the back before flowing down to just below her shoulder blades. Sasuke just shakes his head to clear it when the black haired girl speaks up. "I can't believe you! I told you that he only wanted to help and you wouldn't listen to me!" The red head just nods as she takes Tayuya from Naruto's arms. She then snorts in derision.

"Yeah… besides, you needed outside help to land that blow. And you call Naruto weak? HA! You're the one who's weak!" Sasuke just growls but before he can say anything he grabs a slow moving (for a genin) badly aimed kunai thrown by Naruto and smirks.

"What the hell was that dobe!? You can't even aim a thrown kunai right!" He starts chuckling only to stop as Naruto chuckles a little and holds up a hand and starts counting down on his fingers from five.

"Who says that I didn't want you to catch it? I am a prankster after all." Sasuke goes to try and drop it, only to find to his horror that it's somehow stuck to his hand. Naruto's countdown then reaches 0 and Sasuke vanishes causing Naruto to chuckle before he descends into a coughing fit with blood splattering from his lips. "I may… hate travelling… by them… but… Portkeys… are fucking… dead useful…" On shore, Kabuto finally shakes himself free of his shock and starts to grind his teeth.

'I can't believe that such a… pathetic… Shinobi managed to beat Orochimaru's chosen vessel! That baka! Doesn't he have any idea as to what he's done!?' He then reactivates his chakra scalpel and is about to charge when a red blur slams into him, causing him to go skipping across the ground and then water before hitting a rock in the middle of the water. Shakily getting up, he looks over to see two unfamiliar red heads standing there. He notes that one has red eyes while the other has green. He then grits his teeth. "Do you have any idea as to who I am?" The red head with the green eyes just snorts before giving him a savage grin.

"Yeah, as a matter of fact I do, Yakushi Kabuto. Do YOU know who I am?" Seeing that he doesn't she shakes her head before giving him a hooded, danger filled look. "I'm Uzumaki Kushina bitch, the Red Death herself. You MAY be Kakashi's level, but I'm on an equal footing with the Yondaime! So why don't you be a good little ass-bitch and go back home to your master Orochimaru and let him lick you out." Kabuto bristles at this but doesn't move as he knows that it might be his last. Suddenly an explosion rings out from above them and Kabuto uses it as a distraction to vanish, knowing that his master won't like the news he's bringing. Kushina just scowls before noticing Lily flying down with a smirk on her face. "And where the hell were you and why do I think that you had something to do with that explosion just now?" Lily just sheepishly nods.

"Well… I noticed someone watching from up on the cliff. He looked like a weird mix of a human and a Venus Flytrap. Not to mention… He was wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it." Kushina just sucks in a breath and Lily smirks. "I wouldn't worry about it. Even though I know that in a straight up fight I couldn't beat him, I did do something that James and Sirius did once, but with the twist of a memory charm to make him forget that all this ever happened." At that moment she notices the two new girls and raises an eyebrow at their state of undress. "Not that I really want to know, but… why is there two naked girls here? One of whom is holding my nephew?" The black haired one shivers a little and Lily sighs before waving her wand and creating clothes for the two (black shirt and ANBU style pants for both of them). "Now mind explaining who you two are?" The two about to say something when they hear a massive explosion as the area shudders. Lily's eyes widen as a sinking feeling occurs in her stomach. Not even waiting, she hops back on her broom and takes off. "HARRY!" Kushina's doesn't have enough time to react as Naruto starts to hyperventilate as Kyubi looks over at her.

"SHIT! WE GOT TO GO NOW! NARUTO-KUN'S GOING INTO SHOCK!" Kushina just swears and grabs hold of Naruto as Kyubi shifts into a fox the size of a horse before Kushina leaps onto her, soon followed by the two girls with the red head holding Tayuya. Kushina is about to say something when the red head growls at her.

"I am NOT sticking around here. We're going with you whether you like it or not!" Kushina just sighs and nods before telling Kyubi to take off. Kyubi does so and a few minutes later rain begins to fall as Kakashi reaches the valley and freaks out as he can't find either of his students…

Steve: Well, there's the first chapter of the new update done. I think that it came out pretty good myself.

Yui: I got to admit, it is pretty good. But who are those two girls? And what connection do they have with Naruto and Sasuke?

Steve: Well, here's a few hints: First, look back at the Tea Country Arc. Second, you'd have to look at something that happened here that didn't happen in the original version.

Hinata: Um, that's not very detailed Steve-san.

Steve: Ah! But that's the whole point! I want to hear people's guess before I actually reveal it.

Yui: In other words, this is a gimmick to get more reviews.

Steve: Exactly! Anyways, time to go to the next chapter! See you there!
