Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or anything besides this plot really. There, happy now?

Thank you to everyone for reviewing. I won't name you all out (that would be time consuming.) So just give yourselves a pat on the back or something. You deserve it for sticking with me for this long. XD Congrats.

"No...this can't be happening again!" Naruto murmured to himself while shaking his head back and forth slowly, as if trying to deny what he could see with his own two eyes. A giant tidal wave, one that could easily crush Kilika was coming, and Sin wasn't far behind. If nothing was done, Kilika was likely to be wiped off the map permanently.

"I can't believe...I've caused this again..." Naruto again murmured to himself again, while climbing down from the temple's roof in a daze. It seemed he was causing more harm then good in this world. First all the trouble with the Al Bhed, such as him attracting Sin to the boat. He also caused Rikku a good deal of grief, firstly with her being eaten by the worm because she had to tag along with him. Then she and Gippal broke up. He didn't know what this had to do with him, but he knew he was a part of it. Other wise Gippal wouldn't have been as mad at him as he was.

And now this. Because he couldn't simply take care of himself, Kyuubi was forced to use the demon chakra to heal him. In evidently drawing Sin straight towards Kilika. He would have caused the death of so many people...

Naruto shook his head quickly to shake off the daze, then looked ahead resolutely with his face set. He would not have to mourn if he could stop It from happening. Naruto raced down the steps of the temple while pumping chakra into his legs to increase his speed. He had to get there quickly, or else anything he tried to do would be useless. Naruto knocked down a few monks who were also running towards Kilika, but at the moment he didn't care. There was too much at stake.

"What are you going to do when you make it there?" He heard Kyuubi's booming through his head, completely serious.

Kyuubi? You're awake? Naruto asked the obvious question in his head, now leaving the steps and entering the forest. He could hear screams and shouts for help coming from the small town, obviously noticing the huge wave about to crush them.

"Yes kit, I am. No matter how tired I could be, I could never sleep with this thing so close by." Kyuubi's voice bellowed, echoing in his mind.

Its good to know you're awake for this. And as for your question, I don't know what im going to do. Naruto told him as he began to pick up the pace, knowing he was quickly running out of time.

"Why are you running towards the danger then? You know you can't defeat it in your current state." Kyuubi said, not trying to belittle or disregard his skills. Merely stating the truth.

I know Kyuubi, but I have to try. Im going to cut the link now, I need to concentrate on where im going. Naruto quickly cut his mental link with Kyuubi, knowing what he just said was a lie. He could easily concentrate on running and chakra control while talking to the fox. He just didn't want to talk to the Kyuubi, because the fox would tell him how hopeless this was. And Naruto would believe him. Therefore he didn't want to hear it, and lose the small amount of hope he had.

Naruto continued running through the foliage of the forest, hearing the screams grow louder. Although this was extremely frightening to him, it was also slightly comforting. Because the screams were growing louder, it meant he was closer to Kilika, and had a chance at making it there before the disaster.

Naruo charged forward with all his strength, desperately hoping to make it there in time. He pushes through some overgrowth without stopping, not caring about all the tiny cuts and scrapes he was getting. They weren't important. When he finished running through the thick plants and was about to make a mad dash for Kilika however, the shinobi was quickly snared by a long tentacle. The green thing wrapped itself around his mid-section, before starting to try and squeeze the life out of him. Naruto began gasping for breath, now having trouble breathing and moving as well. He was eventually able to turn his head to see the creature that was currently trying to kill him.

Naruto thought it looked oddly like a pitcher plant, a strange thing he could sometimes find in the forests surrounding Konoha. It was large and round, with leaves sprouting out in various places, especially around the base. The tentacle that was still squeezing him was attached to the side of the creature, and he could see another on the other side, just like a pair of arms. It also had two stubby feet, which looked much too small for the body they carried. The monster also had a huge gaping maw, also reminding him vaguely of the pitcher plant. He guessed the fiend swallowed its food whole, then slowly digested it. Naruto grimaced, although not entirely in disgust. The fiend's hold on him was extremely tight, and was beginning to constrict his chest far too much for his liking. Any more and there was a good chance a rib or two would snap, which would cause him to once again use the demon chakra.

Naruto hissed in pain as the flat side of the tentacle began to wrap more tightly around him, if that were possible. Before he could be killed by this thing, Naruto flared his chakra, burning many of his tenketsus, but also giving the plant severe chakra burns. It would probably never use that tentacle correctly ever again, which was confirmed by the creature's arm suddenly dropping to the ground lifeless while still attached to the body. The shinobi was actually glad it was a plant, or else burning it wouldn't be nearly as effective. The ninja smirked, but then heard more screams coming from Kilika. The tidal wave was probably within seconds of hitting the little city, and the boy cursed himself for forgetting, even for a second. Then fox-boy quickly drew his sword from his back, preparing to end this quickly. He pumped chakra into his arms, mindful of using any more demon chakra, and swung his sword horizontally towards the beast.

The sword sliced into the side of the monster, causing it to screech in pain. The shinobi continued however, making the cut deeper and slightly jagged. Then the worst happened. The cut suddenly began to go erratic and jagged, and the sword stopped inside the monster, only about halfway though its slice.

No, not now! Anytime but now! Naruto ranted in his head, now nervous. He began to pull on the sword hard, but it was stuck fast in the tough hide of the fiend. The creature continued to screech, and it was beginning to hurt his ears. Naruto eventually decide to abandon the blade, running from the monster towards Kilika, where he could see that the tidal wave was now mere seconds from impact. However he kept running, clinging onto the hope that he could do something, anything, to help. The ninja made a fatal mistake however, turning his back on his opponent. The fiend reached out with his good tentacle, and once again began squeezing the shinobi, much harder than before. The creature was getting desperate to kill him. Naruto gasped for air and yelled slightly from pain, but then came to his senses. He once again flared his chakra, effectively burning the rest of his tenketsus and immobilizing the creature's other tentacle. The creature once again screeched in pain, then quickly dropped the boy and began to run away, but not before Naruto grabbed his sword and pulled it from the fiend in one fell swoop. The creature continued running however, deciding that it simply wasn't worth the trouble.

Naruto was now lying on the forest ground, beaten and battered. He wasn't damaged much on the outside. However, inside, was another story. Everything would heal or be fixed fairly quickly, but not quickly enough. He had lost his second wind from all the squeezing, and was trying to get it back which would take several seconds. His burned tenketsus wouldn't reopen until at least tomorrow, leaving him vulnerable. Naruto pressed on despite this however, leaving his sword on the ground and beginning to drag himself towards Kilika again. Foot by foot, he was making it. Although his conscious mind was telling him there was nothing he could do at this point, his subconscious refused to believe it. Until he heard the screams however.

It was horrible to his ears. They were screams of pain, of death. Of families being hurt, torn apart and killed. Many of the people were killed by the tidal wave. Others which were thrown into the water were killed by sinspawn or crushed under Sin itself. Naruto stopped dragging himself and placed his head onto the ground. Suddenly not wanting to reach Kilika. He couldn't bear to watch the destruction of such a kind place.

Sin swam slowly through the waters, killing whatever it came across. It didn't particularly care about them. Or anything for that matter. If anything lived, it would be considered lucky and then passed off by the humongous creature. It didn't search out and kill things. It was simply made for destruction. It would destroy everything, and anything fool enough to be caught in the crossfire would be killed. That was all that mattered to it. Or, that was all that did matter to it. At the moment, it could feel something nearby. Something important. Sin didn't know what it was, but it felt like it had to find it. After a few seconds however, Sin no longer felt like this. It could no longer detect the presence of that special thing. Deciding that simple waiting was in order, the gigantic fiend turned from the small demolished town that had no meaning to it, and began to sink into the sea to wait for the presence to show itself again.

After a about a minute of staying on the ground and hearing nothing more, the blonde ninja slowly raised himself from the ground on unsteady legs. He then walked out into the nearby clearing he was heading for before. After taking one look at the destruction, the ninja broke down onto the ground and began to cry.

"Its gone...its all gone..."

wow, now this is a depressing chapter. Short too, but the short update time makes up for it right? Anyway, before anyone asks, Sin could no longer detect Naruto at the time, because he had ended up burning his tenketsus, cutting off the small amount of demon chakra he was still leaking from the healing process. This would have happened naturally over the course of about another hour, but the tenketsu thing stops it completely. Anyway, although it feels out of place in this chapter, I'll put more jokes here xD well, ja ne.

-wear short sleeves! Support your right to bare arms!

-all those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

-ok, so what's the speed of dark?

-It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

Sarcastic Remarks

-If I want to hear the pitter patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my cat.

-I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me.

-ohhh, let me turn on the part of my brain that gives a damn.

-Whatever look you were going for, you missed.

-Stress is when you wake up screaming and realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

Well, that's enough of that. XD See you all next chapter I guess. Oh, and do you people still want me to put these little jokes up? XD just wondering. Ja ne.
