Sorry for the cliffhanger. But anyway here is chapter 14 :)
Currently writing on chapter 17, so I am writing a lot right now xD

Well anyway enjoy this chapter :)
And don't worry. everything will be explained XD

Previous chapter:
Tsunade needed to make her decision. While Jiraiya supported her and Sasuke left.
Naruto pulled Sasuke back to Konoha, but when he got the chance he took Tsunade with him, fleeing from Konoha.

Chapter 14:
Leaving or staying

Konoha:
"The Hokage had been taking away"
"We need to save her"
"Follow Uzumaki Naruto"

No one could believe what had happened.
The Hokage had been kidnapped, taken away from the city with ease.
Taken by a member of the Akatsuki, and not only that. But it was also Uzumaki Naruto.

Jiraiya ran towards the office when he heard about it and he was being called to the office. He didn't know how this had happened, had Naruto planned this all before he arrived here. When he walked into the office he saw glass pieces on the floor and one window broken. Most likely the window which they had escaped from.

The ANBU cops were still inside, when they noticed that Jiraiya had arrived one of them walked towards him giving him a letter which read his name. Jiraiya had heard he needed to come to the office, despite he would have rather went after Naruto and Tsunade.

"This is for you, Jiraiya-san." The ANBU said. "Hokage-sama most likely kept it, since she knew this was a possibility."

"I see. Thank you." The ANBU handed him the letter while Jiraiya accepted it.
Jiraiya noticed it that it was still sealed, so no one had read it. He gave a nod to the other ninja and left. In the hallway he opened the letter.

His eyes widened as he scanned what was written there. This was…

Jiraiya,

Most likely when you read this. I will not be in Konoha anymore.
I might not even be close to Konoha.
This was my decision. If I can save Konoha from the Akatsuki I will do everything I can.
But… I can't rely my answer to Naruto. I want to talk to the leader of the Akatsuki.
I will leave Konoha, I will pray they will keep me alive and that one day I will return to Konoha, which has become my home.
Time is growing short. I hope this letter finds you, unharmed.
I will not let Naruto or the Akatsuki know that you know the truth about the way I left Konoha.
Keep this a secret from everyone.
My last wish is that you will take my place, I can see no one who could lead Konoha better than you.
In the top drawer from my desk, you will find the paper with my last wish, that you will become Hokage if I would be dead or unable to stay the Hokage. Take it and save Konoha. That's all I ask. Protect the people, the citizens and the ninja's.

Farewell,
Tsunade

Jiraiya looked up from the letter. This was a goodbye letter. She wasn't going to come back.
Or maybe the Akatsuki would not let her go alive… She was prepared for anything. This was the decision she made, but why didn't she tell him. Of course he would have said she was insane and tried to stop her. But going into the lion's den… it seemed like suicide.

Jiraiya closed his eyes and he started running. He didn't know where. He didn't care. He wanted to get away from this all. This couldn't be real. Tsunade was planning to give her life away to the Akatsuki if it would save Konoha. He never wanted to become Hokage and she knew it, dammit. Besides the Akatsuki had made clear they didn't care about anything except getting Konoha, that's why Naruto had come here.

When he stopped running, he noticed he was near Naruto's home.
Naruto… when he had seen him together with Itachi, he thought it would have been the last time he would have seen him. How wrong was he, to find Naruto alive, joined the Akatsuki.

He walked to the door and saw the message on it. 'Demon Child is finally gone'
He had seen it when he had talked with Naruto last night.

Naruto had never seen to anyone how hurt he was, but now Jiraiya could see how wrong they all had been. Naruto had the power to kill them all, he had it since he was a kid. But he never did anything to harm the people of Konoha.

The people who had cursed him, the people who called him demon.
The people who had turned their backs on him. When all he wanted was to be accepted.

He had met people who accepted him. The rookie nine, Jiraiya too had accepted him and seen him in another light. Even Tsunade. But now he had shown them.

With kidnapping the Hokage in this simple way, from her own office and with ANBU cops near, he had shown how powerful he had become. Jiraiya turned around and saw Sakura standing there.

Her eyes looked sad, of course she had heard the news. Everyone had. Tsunade was gone.

"It's not true, right? Please say that it's a lie… Jiraiya-sensei." She looked like she was about to cry. She had visited Sasuke in the hospital earlier, when the news reached the hospital everyone was shocked. Sasuke had been furious. That Naruto had stopped him from leaving, almost killing him and then the next day he simply walks off with Tsunade as hostage.

And since the dark was closing in, finding them seemed out of options, especially with Naruto's speed.
This was hell. Sakura felt like it was pure hell.
"I'm sorry, Sakura. I wish I could say it was a lie." Cause Jiraiya too wanted it to be a lie, or a nightmare, anything but the truth.

Sakura couldn't hold her tears in anymore and she let herself fall on her knees and started crying.
"T-this can't be…"

Jiraiya looked at her. Her team, team 7. She wasn't lucky at all. She was an great medic nin, but she was weak. That she was crying now like this, showed it. But of course Tsunade had been her sensei, so it hurts a lot.

Jiraiya looked back at the door. He didn't know what to do anymore. He couldn't get back into the office before the ANBU would be finished there. Securing all kinds of information and what else. It was like a damn crime scene.

Sakura looked up when she heard nothing and noticed that the sannin was watching towards Naruto's front door. She knew the message that stood there. She had read it.

"What happened to Naruto..?" She softly asked as she too looked at the door.
Jiraiya looked back, seeing that the young girl had no idea how Naruto had fooled her, had fooled them all.

"Nothing happened. Let's just say he woke up…" Jiraiya said. Sakura looked at him.
"He hates us, doesn't he" it was a statement, not a question at all.
"I don't know anymore, since we never knew Naruto, it seems."

Sakura stood up slowly. She dried her last tears. "I want him back. I want Naruto back. That Naruto of the past, not the person who I saw yesterday…"
"Sakura…" Jiraiya started.
"No. don't say what you going to say. I will get him back. He brought Sasuke back two times. Now we need to show him that this place, that Konoha is his only home." She replied.
Jiraiya kept quiet, as he knew that Naruto didn't have any intention of coming back. He had joined the Akatsuki, which was most likely his new home. He wouldn't come back, he would never come back. He would never put that mask back on, that Naruto had died.

Jiraiya saw she was sure of it and nothing could stop her. But he also knew she would get herself killed.
"And besides that. I want to save Tsunade too." Sakura finished.

Jiraiya smiled. The will of fire… it did indeed burn bright.
But now it felt like a foolish light. There was no way to trace the way Naruto had went, some ANBU cops had tried to follow.

But they wouldn't be able to catch up to the young boy.
No one could. The kyuubi's speed was quite awesome.

Around the corner of the street had Iruka been listening, not believing what he had heard.
This couldn't be true. This was not what Naruto had intended. Then where had it gone wrong? Iruka run away, knowing he needed to come back later. He couldn't get into Naruto's house with Jiraiya and Sakura there, but there was something he needed to do.

When he stopped running he noticed the people in the city, the news had already spread quickly. People were planning to leave. Without Hokage they were doomed, that was certain. Then he saw some silver hair and noticed that Kakashi was standing there, looking the Hokage Tower.
Iruka walked towards him. "Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi looked down and noticed Iruka standing in front of him. He smiled a bit. "Iruka. I bet you heard the news."

"Yeah, I did. But I don't believe any of it." Iruka said.
Kakashi rose his eyebrow softly. Thinking that Iruka knew more than he was saying.
Iruka noticed it.
"Come with me. Kakashi-sensei." Iruka looked around and walked towards his house.

Kakashi knew this was important and took one last glance to the Hokage Tower and then walked after the other nin.

Hospital in Konoha(same time in which Jiraiya and Sakura are near Naruto's house:
Sasuke was sitting on his bed, Sakura had left after she had heard what had happened.
She hadn't changed at all. He saw the distress in her, before she left.
Sasuke wanted nothing more to kill the blond now. What right did he have to bring him back to Konoha, if he insisted on leaving the damn city.

He looked outside, the rooftops were crowded with ninja's as they tried to find the direction where Naruto had went too. Sasuke glared at the ninja's.

He was angry, angry at everyone, but most likely angry at Naruto. He had caught up to him with ease and he had attacked him like it was nothing. He had seen those red eyes, blazing red eyes.

Eyes that were ready to kill and would feel no guilt for it. That had been the Naruto he had seen last night. That had been the Naruto who had attacked him and almost killed him…

-Flashback-:
Sasuke ran and ran, he wasn't planning on stopping. He wanted to find out where Orochimaru was hiding. He needed to find him.
Naruto had become so strong and quick, he had easily caught the Uchiha off guard, which shouldn't be such an easy task, but it looked like it was easy for Naruto.

He wanted to show Naruto who was stronger. They had always been rivals, but when Naruto had been declared dead. Sasuke had known Jiraiya had kept his secrets.

He never asked about it. He thought it was better if he didn't know. But now Naruto came back alive.
He had joined the same organisation as Itachi. When he had seen that cloak on Naruto, everything inside of him had boiled.

When Naruto had stopped him from leaving he had said and promised something.
No one knew of course. Cause both of them had kept silent about it.

The Uchiha wouldn't risk his pride and Naruto just always kept quiet.
It was only now that Sasuke had seen it. The fake promise that had been made. He should have left after Naruto had been declared dead, then no one would have stopped him.

After some time of running and thinking he stopped. He looked back at the way from which he came, to be honest he had no idea where he was going. He just wanted to leave and find the power to change this all.

Orochimaru could give it to him, just like he had promised 3 years ago. So that was the only place where he thought about going too. He turned around, once again readying himself to run and find some clue about Orochimaru's hideout, when he heard a familiar voice. "Where do you think you are going?"

Sasuke's eyes widened as he turned his head around, knowing exactly who was standing there.
"Naruto!" he glared at the blond.
"What the hell are you doing here!?"

Naruto saw the anger in those sharingan eyes.
"Do you really think Orochimaru would give you what you want, you idiot."
"Leave me alone! I made my decision. You won't be able to stop me. Not again."

Naruto laughed. "You sure about that?" He asked.
Sasuke glared at him, remembering how he had been beaten.

"Mind your own damn business, Naruto. Why would you care if I would leave Konoha It's not your home anymore anyway. "
Naruto just looked at him, not giving a reply, he was just standing there.
But Sasuke felt if he was going to move, the blond would interfere.

"You can't stop me, like you did last time. Naruto. You messed that chance up when you joined that organisation."

"I have other ways to stop you then Sasuke." He replied.
"I will even use force if I have too." Naruto's face was serious, he wasn't joking at all.

"What goddamn reason is there for me to stay in the godforsaken city!" Sasuke screamed.
"You know the reason why I stayed last time. You know it, dammit." Sasuke closed his eyes, not letting his emotions free.

Naruto looked at him. Yes he knew how he had stopped him from leaving last time. It was by the waterfall, the valley of the end.

Naruto chuckled. "You lost your reason to stay, Uchiha." Naruto remarked.
"But you will stay there. I need you to stay there, no matter what."

Sasuke opened his eyes, but it was too late. He couldn't react anymore. He felt a powerful burst in his stomach and his whole body felt like it was falling apart. He felt Naruto's hand on his stomach and he saw a flicker of blue… the rasengan…?

No it was different. Sasuke felt blood in his mouth as he spit it out and Naruto let him fall on the ground.

"I guess I overdid it a bit." Naruto said softly.
Sasuke felt his body burning, like a fire.

"Well you are strong, so I am sure you won't die before you are in the hospital."
Sasuke felt the darkness taken over, as he tried to fight it.

Was he really so weak…? He heard Naruto chuckle, while he felt that he was being lifted and then he felt a strong wind across his body. Moving, they were moving… Sasuke closed his eyes, the last thing he saw was those kyuubi red eyes looking at him and a smile on Naruto's face… a smile.

-End Flashback-
Yeah. Those red eyes had been ready to kill. Sasuke closed his eyes. A reason why he needed to stay here, here in Konoha. He didn't understand why Naruto would need him to stay here.

He looked back outside. It wasn't so bad anymore as before. The dark was closing in. They most likely would give up the search for the Hokage and Naruto.

If they stopped searching they would most certainly lose the Hokage to the Akatsuki.
But of course they had already lost the trail of them.

Sasuke stood up and felt the pain shoot through his body. That was definitely not a rasengan, it had looked the same, yet been different to hurt so much.

He walked over towards the door and left his room. Walking through the hospital no one stopped him. They all had their own mind on things. He walked over the streets were the news was still spreading.

Disbelieve, anger, fear, lost. With the Hokage gone, the leading factor of Konoha. The city was falling apart.
The people were talking about leaving, they were scared of the Akatsuki, and no would blame them.

He reached his home. He went in without thinking. He walked towards his bed and was planning to lay down on it, not knowing why he even left.
He then looked up his desk, next to his bed. A piece of paper.

Sasuke grabbed it and read what was written on it.
His eyes widened. Was this true… it couldn't be.
Then he remembered Naruto's words.
"You lost your reason to stay, Uchiha. But you will stay there. I need you to stay there, no matter what."

Somewhere inside the woods:
Naruto ran towards the woods immediately after he had run from the Hokage Tower. With his speed they will lose his trail fast, and not knowing where the Akatsuki base was. They would never find them again.

Tsunade closed her eyes, as she folded the paper she still had in her hand and put it away.

Naruto noticed it and grinned.
"I got to say." Tsunade looked up and tried to see Naruto's face, but since he was still holding her too close. It was impossible. "That was quite clever." He finished. She heard the amusement in his voice.

She closed her eyes, hoping she wasn't making a mistake. If she could save Konoha she would do anything. Anything, no matter what.

Naruto kept moving, as quickly as possible since he was still holding Tsunade. He had put the kunai away the moment they were out of sight from the Konoha ninja's.

"I wonder why. Why you would make such a stupid mistake, but everything is fine with me, you know. You could have giving your answer to me too." Naruto said, breaking the silence.

"No. that wouldn't be good enough." She replied, as she tried to get free from his grasp. Naruto stopped and let her free. They were far away in the woods now anyway.

She looked around and noticed they had travelled rather far. "Your speed is impressive." She remarked when she looked back at him.

He smiled. "Of course it is. It's partly the power of the kyuubi." Naruto walked towards her right. The way they were moving too.

"Follow me. I will go a bit slower, so you can keep up." He said while he grinned at her. Tsunade glared a bit, not thinking Naruto would ever say something like that. She looked back, she wondered if she would ever see Konoha back alive. Naruto looked up to see the familiar crow sitting on a branch of the tree. He smiled. It wouldn't be long and Itachi knew it. They both knew it. Naruto had sent him away, just to be sure.

Tsunade grabbed the paper she had put away and looked at Naruto, who was still waiting for her to follow him. He eyes her curiously as she grabbed the paper and let it fall.

"Let's see if I can keep up with your speed, Naruto." She said. She wanted to know how strong he exactly was. Naruto smiled, while he looked back at the paper she had left on the ground. It was a trail, the nins might follow, but the chances that they would find the paper were so small.

"Don't get scared, Hokage-sama. Or better get scared." He grinned. "You are going to the Akatsuki and you will meet the leader. So you can have your 'talk'." With that Naruto turned and jumped off, a bit slower now. Tsunade immediately jumped after him, knowing it was better to not linger.

She bet he wouldn't like to wait for her. But with the speed he was going now she could keep up. She glanced back one second and then looked forward again, seeing blond hair and deep down an orange suit, but that suit was gone. Replaced by a cloak she and the whole ninja worlds feared. A dangerous organisation, Akatsuki. All S-rank nins.

Somehow she felt like she was going to commit suicide. How would she ever get out of there alive…
