Previous chapter:
It was one week after Naruto had returned, but with mystery's everywhere and Madara still alive. Itachi went out together with Nagato, Konan, Kisame and Deidara to search for any information.

Chapter 2:
Nightmares

Darkness. Everywhere. Alone.

'No one can hear me.'
"Itachi… where are you?" Naruto asked. "Why am I all alone..?" Naruto looked around. Everything was dark. And it all felt so real. What was happening.

"Anyone!?" Naruto screamed. Looking around he didn't see anything. Slowly he backed away. He began running he didn't know to where, everywhere but here.
"What is this!?" Naruto asked feeling himself getting tired. "I can't outrun this." Turning around he still didn't see anything.

"Uzumaki Naruto…" a voice said. Naruto looked up and around. He had no clue where that voice was coming from. "Who are you!? What do you want?" Naruto screamed back in that darkness.

"You.." was the only reply Naruto got. Naruto backed away. Somewhere in his mind he knew this was awful it felt like his body remembered things his mind did not. This darkness was familiar.

"You remember this place, don't you?" another voice asked. "It will always haunt you, until you die."
Naruto shook his head, backing away. He was getting scared. "noo.." he said softly. "Leave me alone!" he then screamed.

"I wish I could…" was the reply. He heard the other chuckle. Their voices didn't sound familiar at all, but still he felt like he knew these people. "Damn, I need to wake up.." Naruto softly cursed.

"Uzumaki Naruto, remember this. I will come for you one day." Naruto fell on his knees as he hugged his body. He wanted this nightmare to end. This was all too real.

With a gasp Naruto sat up on the bed. "A dream.." Naruto closed his eyes, regaining his breath. 'No… it was too real to be a dream..' He opened his eyes again and looked up. Itachi didn't seem to be back yet. 'How long was I asleep.'

Naruto stood up and walked over to the kitchen. Itachi hadn't left a note at all. Naruto sighed. Itachi had become rather distant since he had returned. No matter what he did he couldn't get through the walls the raven had built around himself.
He walked to the fridge and decided to eat something. It was in the afternoon now. It looked like he had slept the whole night and day away.

After he finished his meals he decided to head out towards Tsunade, cause she surely wanted to check up on him again. He knocked on the door of the Hokage's office and heard a scream from inside he could enter.

"Ah, Naruto." Tsunade said as she stood up and looked at the young male. "Are you ok?" She asked then, when she noticed Naruto was kind of different than yesterday. Naruto noticed the worried look on Tsunade's face and smiled. "I'm fine, just a bad night. Didn't sleep so well." He lied.

"Ah, ok. You have been feeling tired lately haven't you?" she then asked, walking towards him and looking him in the eye. "Yeah, I guess I have been tired. But it will be fine." Naruto answered, although his smile was fading. "Baa-chan?" Naruto said then.

Tsunade cringed at the name, but Naruto knew he could continue. "What kind of mission did you give Itachi? When will he return?" Tsunade looked at the blonde, not knowing what to answer. "I haven't given him any missions, Naruto…" she answered honestly.

Naruto's eyes widened. Itachi had lied… keeping things ok, but lying. "What is wrong then?" Tsunade asked, her hand landing on the blonde's shoulder as he looked down at his feet. "He said he had a mission and left yesterday in the afternoon." Naruto whispered, not believing this.

Tsunade didn't know what to say. She knew he was most likely searching for clues about Madara and how to save Naruto from this all. But it was better to keep that a secret. Naruto chuckled a bit. Then he looked back up. She saw small tears in his blue eyes as he said. "You know what is worse about this all?"

"What is, Naruto? You know you can tell me anything." She replied.
"It is knowing that I am not worth the truth. I have been with Itachi for 3 years now, almost 4. And I didn't think he would ever lie to me…" when he finished that sentence tears were rolling down on his cheeks. Tsunade just did what she thought was best as she pulled the blonde towards her and hugged him.

"Always remember he loves you Naruto. More than anything else. We all have seen that, so just have faith in him." Although she said these words she felt that Naruto's cries only were getting louder. She couldn't comfort him. Right now only Itachi could… "shhh. It's ok. It will all be ok." She whispered, while holding Naruto close.

Naruto kept his eyes closed as he felt those tears escaping him. He couldn't believe those words from Tsunade anymore. He just couldn't. He couldn't trust her anymore, he couldn't trust Itachi anymore. They all kept things from him. Then he felt anger boiling up inside of him. He raised his hands and pushed Tsunade away from him. "Leave me alone!" He screamed, his eyes red from crying and the anger in it. Then he ran away, faintly he heard Tsunade call out to him. But he didn't want to see her. he didn't want to see anyone.

He kept running, the villagers looked at him, wondering what had upset the kyuubi container, but other than that. They didn't spare him a second glance. Hinata and Neji who were also walking on the streets noticed Naruto running away. He looked upset. Neji had called out to him and Hinata looked really worried. But Naruto ignored them all.

Eventually he reached one of the city gates. The guards were immediately standing in position when they noticed the blonde running towards them. Naruto noticed this and glared at them. He still felt angry he didn't care right now. He needed to leave the town. And he charged right at them. When the guards noticed it they screamed him to stop and took an defensive stance.

Naruto took them out, before running further. Hinata and Neji who had followed Naruto noticed this. "Hinata. Go back to the Hokage, report this immediately." Neji said as he looked at the guards, they were alright, just unconscious. With one glance to Naruto's back Hinata took Neji's order and left for the Hokage Tower.

Neji jumped after Naruto, knowing they couldn't leave Naruto in this state. He was clearly upset. Very upset. Naruto in his anger didn't feel or noticed he was being followed. Somewhere deep outside the woods he stopped and looked at the wastelands. This way, he remembered it. He knew where he was going. The one person who he still could trust. Sunagakure. He would go to Gaara.

"Naruto?" Naruto turned around, noticing Neji standing there. "You have followed me?" Naruto asked, his voice a bit raspy, through all the cries and the running. "Of course." Neji stated, as he watched Naruto. "We would be a fool to let you leave like this. Now what is wrong that you are this upset?"

"Nothing's wrong." Naruto answered. "Say to Tsunade that I am leaving town for a bit." Naruto turned around. "And don't follow me. I will not go back. And I will not hold back if you attempt to stop me."

Naruto jumped away. Neji knew it was the best to go and talk to the Hokage about this. But in this situation he really wanted to follow Naruto. They had no idea where he would go off too.

Tsunade:
Hinata ran into her office, she seemed shocked. But Tsunade somehow knew it was about Naruto. "Na..Naruto-kun, he has left Konoha."

"WHAT!?" Tsunade screamed. Shizune who was also in the office right now, looked shocked. "That's not good…" Shizune whispered softly. "Dammit, where the hell does he think he is going.." Tsunade said, slamming her hand on the desk, almost breaking it again.

Hinata stood there, she didn't know about anything that was happening to Naruto. "Find him, return him right now!" Tsunade said, looking at the Hyuuga in front of her.

"Hokage-sama!" Neji called, as he ran into the office, seeing Hinata standing there and he saw the look on the Hokage's face. "I guess you got more bad news." Tsunade said, while she sighed.

"Afraid so…" Neji replied. "Uzumaki Naruto left Konoha. He gave me this message. To not follow him, cause he is leaving Konoha for now." Tsunade sighed. "I never thought it would come to this.."
"Neji, Hinata. Ask Kiba for help and track him immediately! And don't tell anyone else!" Tsunade ordered. "Hai!" They both said while they ran out of the office.

"Is this wise, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked, when the door had been closed. "Honestly I have no idea." She answered while she sat back down on her chair. "But right now it's not wise for Naruto to be out on his own. That is one things I know for certain." Shizune looked at her.

"He left because of Itachi-san right?" Shizune asked. "Yes. Apparently Itachi has left Konoha. Most likely looking for Madara or clues about his whereabouts."
"Then I wonder what made Naruto-kun so upset…" Shizune whispered softly.

Tsunade thought about that, but she didn't understand Naruto. Not right now. He had changed a bit these past days and it looked like today he had reached his limit.

Sunagakure(3 days later)(-looked up how long the travel to Suna would be xD):

Naruto finally reached Suna. He was tired and the last part it had felt like his whole body was falling apart. He knew his health had been bad, but this feeling was awful. And that nightmare still haunted him. It had returned every night when he tried to get some sleep.

He walked into the town and looked up. His vision was blurry. He knew it wouldn't be long before he would collapse. He grabbed the wall of a nearby house, steadying himself. "Dammit…" he whispered softly.

He looked up his vision still blurry, but he noticed people looking at him. Sometimes in worry and others were looking like he could die there and they would just leave him. Naruto glared as he slowly walked further. He had to reach Gaara's office. He needed to talk to him. Then he felt his knees giving in and he collapsed on the ground. Around him he heard screams and in the distant he heard a familiar voice calling his name, before he passed out.

"Uzumaki Naruto…" a voice said. "You remember me, don't you?" the person chuckled.
"Yes. Of course…" Naruto answered, while he felt like he was in some kind of trance.
He opened his eyes, everything was dark. "You ruined my life…"

The voice laughed. "Happy to hear that."
"Are you ok, little one?" Another voice asked. "Could be better." Naruto answered with a small grimace. Naruto closed his eyes again. "What do you want from me, Madara?" Naruto asked.

"Like I had said. I want you. At least your body." Naruto chuckled. "My body… it's useless right now."
"It won't be long, Naruto. Your suffering will end."

"You think I would give in that easily!?" Naruto asked, a fire in his voice.
"No. I think you will fight till the bitter end. That is what makes you a fool. Cause you can't win this."

Naruti opened his eyes. "Even if I can't win. I will most certainly not go down without a fight."
Madara chuckled. "I expected as much. You won't be able to rest. I will haunt your every night if you fall asleep. From now on you can't escape me, Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto glared. "Just leave me alone…" he whispered, while he moved so he was lying on his side. This place. He knew he had been here before. Madara… he had captured him here before. "Sleep well."

Naruto's eyes went wide as he saw all his bad and painful memories flashing inside his mind. He grabbed his head. "NOOOO!" He screamed. Naruto opened his eyes, but he still saw everything. His whole past. And not one good memories. Slowly he started crying. 'Wake up, please wake up…' he silently thought, closing his eyes again, trying to block out the images. 'This can't be true… Itachi help me.. please.'

Gaara looked at Naruto. He was sleeping, but it seemed like he was having a terrible nightmare. From his closed eyes tears started leaking and his face looked like he was in some kind of pain. Temari came back into the room. "How is he?" She asked.

"Not good. We have no idea why he collapsed and it looked like he is having nightmares." Gaara answered, still looking at the blonde. Temari walked so she too could take a better look at Naruto. Her eyes widened. "He is… crying?" she then said. Not believing that Naruto was crying, in his sleep.

"Contact Konoha. Ask for information. Find out why Naruto has come here." Gaara said.
"Ok. I will let you know if we receive an answer." She replied, before leaving the room once again.

"You have brought something terrible with you, haven't you. Naruto…" Gaara said as he looked outside the window. He then heard the blonde whisper. 'Stop' he began moving more and more, as if trying to block something out of his dreams. Gaara reached out and grabbed his arm. "Naruto! Wake up." Naruto began starting to tremble, as he started breathing heavily. Gaara was shocked by this. This was in no way a normal nightmare. Gaara raised his hand and grabbed the blonde's shoulder with force, his other hand following the example, shaking the blonde awake.

Naruto's eyes flew open. Shock, fear, hatred. Gaara could see all kinds of emotions in those blue eyes. But most of it. He seemed afraid. "G..Gaara.?" Naruto asked softly. "Yes. I am here." Gaara replied. Naruto softly let his breathing calm down and then he felt that his cheeks were wet. So he had been crying indeed and Gaara had seen this.

"I'm sorry.. I will be ok. It was just a bad dream." Naruto whispered, his face looking down. He couldn't face Gaara. He was lying to him. He didn't know if he would ever be ok. Madara was going to haunt his every dreams, without sleep. He would go insane, with sleep he would go insane. Either way Madara would win.

"Gaara!" Temari screamed, while running back into the room. Then she noticed that Naruto was awake. "Naruto." She said as she walked over to him. Naruto looked up and smiled a bit. "Heey Temari." Temari gave a small nod, seeing how tense the blonde ninja actually was. "I have some news. Could we talk outside of the room, Gaara?" Temari asked.

Gaara gave a nod, as Temari headed out again. "I will be right back." Gaara said, before leaving the room. In truth Naruto wanted to be alone right now. He knew he will be a burden to Gaara and his town. Sighing he wondered if it was a good idea to come here at all. He didn't want to burden the red-head at all. Being Kazekage was hard enough.

He could hears Temari and Gaara's voice just outside of the room. But he couldn't hear what exactly was being said. Slowly he pushed the blanket off of him and he walked closer to the door.

"…. to Konoha." It was Temari's voice. They were talking about Konoha. But most likely it was also because of him, Naruto knew. "Yes, Temari."
He heard the girl sigh. "You might risk a war, Gaara…" Naruto's eye widened a war. Because of him.

"He is my first friend. I won't abandon him. If he wants to stay he will stay. His friends can't force him to go back." Gaara said. "I know. What will I tell them?"

"Tell them to leave Suna. Uzumaki Naruto isn't here. They followed a wrong trail." Naruto backed away from the door. They had followed him. And now Gaara was going to lie to them. Risking a war. Tsunade won't be happy about this at all.

Then he felt dizzy all of a sudden, he groaned grabbing his head. He felt tired. He hadn't slept well since he had left Konoha. And right now. He didn't even want to sleep. He slowly walked back to the bed, but he couldn't reach in time as he collapsed near the bed.

Gaara who had heard movement in the room opened the door and saw Naruto fall to the floor. Temari noticed it too. "I bet he has heard us." She said.

"Doesn't matter right now, get some medic nin. We must find out why he is collapsing all the time." Gaara walked towards the blonde lying on the ground and slowly picked him up and laid him back on the bed. Pulling the blankets over him he looked at his closed eyes. He saw a single tear escape it.

Gaara looked at him and wondered if he had another bad dream. Temari returned with a medic and the ninja's from Konoha. "They found out when I got the medic nin."

Kiba didn't waste any time and walked straight to Naruto. But he stopped when he noticed the blonde was sleeping. Gaara looked back at him. The medic nin started running some simple tests.

Neji and Hinata followed Kiba's example, as the dog boy was silent all of a sudden. He had clearly wanted to shout at Naruto for leaving like this. When Hinata noticed the tears rolling from the closed eyes she backed away. "What is this?" Neji asked softly. Temari looked at the sleeping male. "He was crying when he was asleep a few minutes ago too." She answered.

Kiba was still silent and Hinata was standing near the wall now. Never had they seen Naruto cry at all.
"He is in some kind of pain, but physically he seems alright." Gaara stated. "Well it seems like he is exhausted, which I why he most likely collapsed." The medic nin stated.

Gaara looked back at Naruto. Then he started tossing again. The medic nin backed away, while Gaara's eyes widened. "What is happening.." Hinata whispered as she noticed Naruto started moving. Naruto gripped the sheets and he let out a cry. Then he moved to his side and hugged himself. His movements stopping again.

The medic nin looked at the young male. "I would say he has a terribly nightmare." "You kidding us!?" Temari said. "Tell us something we don't know yet!" she said then. The medic nin bowed down her head. "What can we do to stop this?" Gaara asked. The medic nin looked up at the Kazekage.
"It's just a nightmare." The medic nin stated. "No, it's not." Neji replied. With his byakugan he could see something was wrong. Naruto's chakra was out of control. That nightmare he was having, was created by someone.

Naruto was still sobbing, although it was not as worse as it was before. "What can we do then?" Kiba asked, getting out of his trance about what was happening.

Neji looked up at Kiba. "Get Naruto back home or get Uchiha Sasuke here." Neji replied. "The sharingan." Gaara replied. Neji gave a nod. "Sasuke would need to go into Naruto's dreams. And find out what is causing this."

Gaara looked at Temari and gave a small nod. Temari simply left, knowing she needed to get a letter to Konoha. That they needed to send the Uchiha here.
