Chapter Four
For the hundredth time in an hour, Naruto desperately tries to escape his confinement. Bashing his shoulder against the wall did next to nothing. He felt so weak... This box is draining my chakra. He realizes. That's why I can't get out. The blonde was steadily weakening. He'd already lost consciousness four times, only to wake up feeling even worse than before.
"If this doesn't stop..." He gasps, aloud. "I might...really die here." He had just woken up and already black spots were swarming his vision. His thoughts came slow and fuzzy, at best. There was a steady ringing in his ears...He knew, if he didn't get away soon, he would stop waking up all together.
It was right then that he realizes what he had to do. This is gonna use the last of my chakra but...I have to do something. Naruto shifts again, bringing his hand to his mouth and biting the thumb. "S-summoning jutsu!"
There's a puff of smoke and then..."EH?! Hey, what are you doin' summoning me to a place like this?! Where am I anyway, it's so dark in here! And who are you?!" The small red and yellow toad demands, angrily.
"Listen..." Naruto pants. "I'm in...kind of a pickle here..."
"Yeah? You don't think I can see that?!"
Naruto winces as the world takes a sharp dip and spins, violently. "Listen to me!" He snaps. "I need you to...go to the...Hidden Leaf Village. Tell the Hokage...Naruto...managed to get himself caught by...Madara. And I could use...a little bit of help..."
The toad finally notices Naruto's struggle to stay awake and nods. "Yeah, I'll let Tsunade know, right away." The Jinchuuriki nods, weakly before giving into the all-consuming darkness once more.
