Chapter Ten: The True Meaning of Her Crimes pt 2

A punch was landed to Sasuke's jaw, "Sasuke, I will personally kill you if you harmed Naruko in any way!"

Sasuke wiped the blood from his mouth. He looked to the person, his glare intensified and his eyes turned red. "Itachi, stay out my way" he snapped.

"I don't like your way" Itachi said.

"I don't give a fuck, Itachi. Im going to finish you right here!" Sasuke yelled. He ran up to Itachi holding a sword ready to stab his older brother.

In the blink of an eye, Itachi ended up behind Sasuke, and Sasuke's sword held against the back of neck by his own brother. "I think it's you who is going to be finished right here, little brother" Itachi said.

"Why?," Sasuke balled his hands up in fists "why do you care so much!"

"Because you're losing your mind" Itachi said.

"I am not!" Sasuke yelled.

"When I said get your woman back, this is not what I meant"

"I came up with my own plan, and it's already working" Sasuke smirked.

"That's why! I can't allow you to keep harming Naruko" Itachi said.

"No one is harming her!" Sasuke yelled.

"You are!" Itachi yelled back.

"Shut up, Itachi!" Sasuke growled then turned around quickly shocking Itachi. Sasuke raised his balled up fist and punched Itachi square in the face sending him flying down the vacant hall.

Where did all this power come from? When did he learn to move like this? Before Itachi could comprehend what just happened, Sasuke stood over him, sword in his hand and killing intent oozing off of him. Does he really care about Naruko this much?

"Die, Itachi!" Sasuke hissed raising his sword aiming for Itachi's heart.

Itachi grabbed the sword with his hands stopping it from plunging through his heart. He would admit he had the same killing intent radiating off of him earlier. That was because he did something with Naruko and wouldn't speak of it. He couldn't kill his brother no matter how hard he tried. He never would have thought Sasuke would get this mad over the simple truth. He usually yells and curse until he gets his way, never this.

"Sasuke this isn't what you want" Itachi said trying to calm the angry raven. Sasuke didn't say a word, simply glared at the man.

"Why should I listen to you?!" Sasuke snapped trying to plunge the sword in Itachi's chest.

Itachi held the sword in between his hand then snatch it out Sasuke's grasp. He got to his feet and walked to Sasuke stopping in front of him. "Because Naruko would hate you" he said. Itachi watched Sasuke's expression somber a little.

The sound of running knocked Itachi and Sasuke out their thoughts. They looked to the direction the running was coming from to see a man approaching them. Once the man was closer, they recongised him as Kakashi.

"Duck!" Kakashi yelled taking cover.

"Duck?" Itachi questioned then saw the series of weapons flying their way. He grabbed Sasuke by his collar throwing him on the ground.


Kakashi stopped his search when he spotted a necklace laying on the floor. He picked it up instantly recognizing it as the necklace Naruko always wore. The necklace dropped out Kakashi's hand when a knife came spiraling past his face. He dodged it quickly and turned to see who had thrown it at him. Six people with orange hair and piercings were standing in front of him. Kakashi recognised three of them from his 'date' with Naruko.

"Where is the heir?" one of them spoke up.

"That's a foolish question" Kakashi said readying himself.

"Won't talk. Fine, I'll just have to get it out of you" the person said. The other five look alikes disappeared from the site.

Kakashi just hoped that none of them found Naruko. "Who are you, what do you want with Naruko?"

"I'm Pain, and just say I need her for a reason" Pain said.

"I won't let you have her" Kakashi sneered landing a punch to Pain's jaw causing him to go into the closet wall.

"It's a honor to meet the Kakashi Hatake, but Im afraid it'll be the las time someone acknowledge you" Pain said pulling himself out the wall. He pulled out a metal bar and charged Kakashi.

Kakashi quickly ducked dodging Pain's attack. He knew using his gun on him would be useless, so Kakashi threw another punch at Pain. This time Pain ducked and landed a blow to Kakashi's stomach. Kakashi skidded to a stop then went in for another punch. He locked eyes with Pain only for his punch to be directed to the wall.

What was that? Kakashi gripped his now bleeding hand and distance himself away from Pain. He didn't even move, and I missed.

"It's over" Pain said.

Kakashi's eyes widen noticing that Pain was currently in front of him. He didn't have time to make a move. Dammit! Pain wrapped his hand around Kakahi's throat slamming him to the floor. The metal bar appeared in his hand.

"You shall know pain" Pain said impeling the bar into Kakashi's body.

Kakashi coughed up blood as he slowly felt his life leaving his body. He was becoming weak. No, I can't go out like this. I have to stay for -.

His thoughts were interrupted when one of the look alikes appeared beside Pain. The look alike stared at Pain giving him a silent message. Pain nodded then turned away from the scene.

"No!" Kakashi panted. I'm not going to let them get Naruko.

"You're still alive?," Pain asked turning to look at him then to his look alike "Finish him." Pain then walked off leaving Kakashi with his look alike.

Kakashi pulled the bar out of him then slowly got to his feet. Pain #2 started throwing knives at Kakashi. Kakashi dodged them only to have shuriken come flying past him. After getting rid of those, Kakashi did the only thing possible, run. He turned the corner spotting two familiar people who looked like they were about to fight.

"Duck!" Kakashi yelled then took for cover around the corner.

"Duck?" Kakashi heard Itachi question then he heard the some of something hitting the floor.


Sasuke got up from the floor that he had been just thrown in to to see a series of weapons scattered around them. He then looked to see what Kakashi was running from. There was a strange dude with orange hair and piercings all over his face. What the hell is going on?

The raven jumped back to the ground upon seeing some more weapons come his way. Sasuke saw Itachi get up and run towards the man. Itachi stabbed the man in the heart like Sasuke would have done to Itachi earlier. The man dropped to the ground unmovingly.

The sound of footsteps made Sasuke turned around. There stood Kakashi Hatake, jsut the person Sasuke needed to see. Kakashi had cuts and bruises all over him and a big wound on his chest. He was leaning against the wall trying to catch his breathe, probably from running. Sasuke smirked at seeing his appearance. Shouldn't take too long.

Sasuke picked up one of the many knives and walked over to Kakashi. "It's nice seeing you again, Kakashi" Sasuke smirked.

"I can say the same, Sasuke" Kakashi said.

"I've heard things about you"

Kakashi removed himsef from the wall, "Can we not do that here? I have too find Naruko bef-"

"What is it with you and my wife?!" Sasuke yelled.

"Nothing" Kakashi said walking off.

Sasuke growled, "Stay away from Naruko."

"Even you know that's not going to work" Kakashi said.

"And why not?"

Kakashi stopped and turned towards Sasuke, "She's going to keep coming to me and never you."

That's it! Sasuke charged towards Kakashi, but ended up shoved against the wall again. "Itachi, stay out of this!" Sasuke yelled.

"No"

"Itachi, I swea-"

The words died in this throat when a loud scream echoed down the hall. All three men instantly recognised who scream it was.

"Naruko!" they said in unison and took off to find her.


Naruko pushed on the door trying to see if it would open. "Fucking door!" she yelled and slid down the door. She looked around the room seeing if there was anything else that would help her get the door open.

Before she could get a good look around, the door swung open causing Naruko to fall back hitting her back on the cold floor. "Shit!" she hissed at the pain and coldness. She sat up quickly rubbing at her back then she realized she was out in the hallway. "Hey, the door's open!"

"Still the way I remember you, Namikaze" an unknown voice.

Naruko slowly turned until the person came into her view. A man in a black cloak wearing an orange mask stood in front of Naruko.

She gasped, "Madara."

Naruko picked herself up from the floor and braced herself. A serious expression appeared on her face and her eyes glared daggers at Madara. "What are you doing here?" She asked, her words dripping with venom.

The blonde despised the man standing in front of her. It has been six years since she last seen him. She hoped someone would rid him from the world, but it didn't happen. He was the man who killed her parents. No matter how many times she tried to kill him, he never died. He somehow always seem to slip out of her fingertips. It was like he always hunted her then taunt her. Instead of trying to kill him, she killed some of the other people of his organization. That only turned out worse.

Madara chuckled, "You haven't changed one bit, Naruko. Im not here for a fight; it's more like a friendly conversation."

Naruko eyed him, "What would I have to talk about with you?!"

"Your existance" Madara said.

"What?!"

"It's been hard trying to catch back up with you after what you did six years ago. You hid yourself pretty good, Naruko. It was all thanks to your pretty little friend that we was able to find you again" Madara said.

Pretty little friend? Who the fuck is he talking about. "What friend?"

"If I remember correctly, she said her name was Sakura"

Naruko growled. Im going to kill that bitch when I get back to Konoha!

"She told me where you were and any other detail I wanted to know. She was very helpful" Madara smirked.

"How did she get into contact with you" Naruko asked.

"Saw my number in Sasuke's office" he answered.

The bitch is so dead! "Now what?"

"You have something we need, Naruko. We're not going to stop until we get it"

"Over my dead body!" Naruto sneered.

Madara smirked, "That's exactly how your going to end up"

"If you can catch me first" Naruko said.

"We've already caught your other friends running around the place. Hope they're alive" Madara said.

Naruko punched Madara sending him across the floor. "Leave them alone!"

Madara skidded to a stop, "It's alittle to late for that." He disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of Naruko. He grabbed her by her neck. "Besides, Im not the one you should be fighting." He then threw her causing her to hit the wall hard. He then disappeared from sight.

Naruko let out a loud scream. Shit! That hurt! She fell to the floor on her hands and knees. Her teeth were clenched as she was trying to fight the pain she felt on her back.

"Naru?"

Forgetting about the pain she was feeling, she looked up to see if she was hearing correctly. A hand was outstretched in front of her. She looked up further to see the face of the silver haired man she loved so much.

"Kashi!" she exclaimed jumping up and hugging the man "Thank god you're okay"

"It's glad to see you too, Naru" Kakashi said returning the hug "are you okay?"

"Fine, what happened?" She asked looking at the wound on his chest.

"I was fighting Pain. It's nothing" he said.

"You found her" someone else said.

Naruko looked around Kakashi to see Itachi walking over to them,"Itachi!"

A growl sounded from behind Itachi. "What are you doing out of the room?" Sasuke asked stepping from around Itachi.

Naruko knew exactly why he was growling, so she pulled herself away Kakashi. She walked over to Sasuke and began smacking him. "How dare you lock me up? You think I wasn't go be able to get out. I should kill you, but I care too much"

Sasuke grabbed her arm and stopped her from hitting him, "How did you get out of the room?" Naruko snatched her arm away from him and gave him a glare.

"You locked her in a room?" Itachi asked.

"Yes he did" Naruko answered.

"Dobe, answer my question!" Sasuke yelled at her.

"Quit yelling at me, teme!"

Sasuke sighed, "Nevermind!" He snapped his fingers, and his group appeared.

"Jugo, take Naruko some place safe. Suigetsu and Karin watch her" Sasuke ordered.

"What!" Naruko yelled out "I'm not going!"

"Sasuke, are you be-"

Sasuke cut Itachi off, "I got this."

Jugo grabbed Naruko then preceded to walk off with Suigetsu and Karin following him.

"Put me down, Jugo! Let me go! Sasuke, you're a dead man!" they heard Naruko scream.

"Why did you do that?" Itachi asked.

"Because we got company" Sasuke said nodding his head to the back.

They turned around to see the five Pains turned the corner and look at them.


"Put me down!" Naruko yelled trying to get out of Jugo's monster grip.

"Shut up already!" Suigetsu yelled at Naruko.

"Why you! Wait until he puts me down" Naruko threatened.

Suigetsu hid behind Karin, "Hehe, I was just kidding."

"Sure you was. I want to be put down!" Naruko said.

"Sasuke said to keep you safe" Jugo spoke.

"Fine" Naruko said stopping her protest. I guess Sasuke does care for me. Even if he shows it in weird ways. Damn overprotective man! I could defend myself!

"Is that all we had to say to shut you up?" Suigetsu asked. Naruko growled at the man causing him to push Karin in front of him as a shield. "Take her, not me"

"Get away from me, Suigetsu" Karin said pushing Suigetsu away from her.

They walked a little further before stopping at a door. Karin went to the door and opened it. She walked in first flipping the light on. Suigetsu checked the room before going in wit Jugo following him in. Karin closed the door, and Jugo put Naruko down.

Naruko hit Suigetsu over the head, "Shut up sometimes!"

"Ow! Naruko, I was kidding" Suigetsu said rubbing his head.

"That's what you get Suigetsu" Karin laughed while Jugo smirked.

"You know it's really nice seeing you again, Naruko" Jugo said.

Naruko fixed her dress then looked around the room. It was a plain white room with a beige carpet. The only piece of furniture in the room was an empty bookshelf and a chair. Naruko sighed before taking the seat. She looked at the other people in the room.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked. She knew exactly why they were here, to help Sasuke. She just wanted to know Sasuke purpose for coming.

"Sasuke wanted us to help him find you" Jugo said.

"He was so freaked out that you left the village to do this dangerous mission" Karin added on.

"It was funny seeing him lose it" Suigetsu laughed.

Naruko stared at all of them trying to find a lie in what they just said. All of them seemed to be telling the truth. He's really trying.

Karin saw the look on Naruko's face and spoke up, "You know he really cares for you."

"He stops being that cocky bastard when it comes to you" Suigetsu said.

"So why am I here" Naruko asked.

"I sensed trouble coming, and I told Sasuke. He didn't want you fighting, so he told us to watch you" Karin said.

Naruko eyes widen, "What!?"

"You can't leave, Naruko" Karin said.

"I have to help them. They can't defeat them by themselves" Naruko said.

"Sasuke is not going kill me because you ran off and got hurt" Suigetsu snapped.

"Let her go" Jugo said.

"What!?" Karin and Suigetsu yelled.

"It's her battle, and we don't have the right to stop her from doing what she wants" Jugo explained.

"Thanks Jugo" Naruko said opening the door and running down the hall.

"If Sasuke comes after us, Ima make sure you die first" Suigetsu said.


"You again" Pain said acknowledging Kakashi "I thought I got rid of you"

"It's going to take more than weapons to get rid of me" Kakashi said.

"Pain, what are you doing here?" Itachi asked.

"You know him?" Sasuke asked.

"He started the organization I use to be in" Itachi informed him.

"So he's the leader of Akatsuki?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes" Itachi asked.

"I didn't come here to talk. Where is Naruko Uzumaki?" Pain asked.

"You're not getting her" Sasuke snapped.

"Why so protective of her?" Pain asked.

Sasuke growled," What do you want with her?"

"Naruko has something very special about her that very few people possess" Itachi answered for Pain.

"Something special?" Sasuke question.

"There are nine people who posses special powers" Kakashi said.

"The Akatsuki's goal is to collect all of those special powers. There are only two more to collect, and Naruko is one of them" Itachi continued.

"Thanks for the lesson. Any last words before you die" Pain asked. Kakashi and Sasuke readied themselves, and Itachi simply stared. "Very well"

All the other Pains came forward to Itachi, Sasuke, and Kakashi. They was ready to fight. One Pain came foward with a long metal bar in his hand, but a blonde blur stopped him. Everyone stopped to see the familiar blonde stand in between the Pains and her friends. The one pain she took down layed on the ground with the bar lodged in his heart.

"Ah, you save us the time for finding you... Naruko" Pain said.


Naruko ran down the hall remembering the way she came from when Jugo was carrying her. She ran like her life depended on it. Her friends life depended though. She wasn't about to let them get themselves killed just for her. She cared for them too much to let that happen.

She kept running down the hall until she heard Sasuke yelling. She knew she was close. She happy to know that were not fighting yet. She had to make it in time so they would fight. She picked up the pace trying to make it.

"You're not getting her!" she heard Sasuke yell.

Almost there. This was her fight, and she was going to fight it whether they like it or not. She turned the corner to see the pain coming to attack Kakashi, Itachi, and Sasuke. Naruko ran faster as one Pain carried a long metal bar in his hand headed towards Sasuke. Naruko grabbed the bar out the man's hand and pinned him to the ground with the bar. The other Pains stopped, and she could tell everyone was shocked by her sudden entrance.

"Ah, you saved us the time for finding you... Naruko" Pain said.

"Naruko, what are you doing here?" Kakashi asked.

"Why won't you stay put?" Sasuke growled.

"I told you, Im not leaving until I finish this" Naruko looked over her shoulder at them. They noticed the determined look in her eyes.

"Let her do this" Itachi said.

"Thanks Itachi" Naruko said pulling the bar out of the Pain she just killed. She turned her attention to the other four Pains. "Your fight is with me!"

The three Pains came towards her. She pull out her gun an pulled the trigger. One Pain went down from being shot in the head. Naruko dropped the gun and hit the Pain that tried to sneak up on her with the metal bar in her hand. She stabbed that Pain in the head with the bar causing him to drop. All there was left was the two other Pains.

Naruko looked up to see the leader missing. Where i-! Naruko leaned to the left missing a punch aimed for her head. She grabbed that Pain's head and twisted her head. She let her go then looked around to see where the leader went. Her eyes went wide then she looked down to the ground. Her gun wasn't on the floor anymore; it was in the hand of the leader, who was hiding over by Sasuke and them.

She saw Pain raise the gun and followed it to see it pointing at one the men. Shit! Sasuke, Itachi, and Kakashi noticed her paniced expression then looked to where she was standing. They all froze when they saw the trigger being pulled. Naruko ran over to them pushing Kakashi out the way. The series of bullets pierced her body.

"Naru!" she heard Kakashi scream before her mind became fuzzy.

Her eyes turned red and killing intent filled the air. It was so strong that it was suffocating the others in the area. Naruko disappeared in a blur and and appeared in front of Pain. She snatched the gun away from and punched him sending him flying down the hall. She went over to him picking him up and throwing him into the wall. She raised the gun and fired it. Pain's limp body fell to the ground.

Naruko's eyes turned back to their normal color. She dropped to the ground and coughed up blood. Her vision was blurring, and she felt herself getting weaker. She closed her eyes letting the blackness slowly consume her.

"Naru!" She heard Kakashi yelled. She could tell he was by her side. She smiled and open her eyes. She couldn't see much but could make out the form that was Kakashi. "Why did you do it?"

"Because... I-I love you," she whispered. She saw Kakashi eyes go wide.

"What?" He questioned.

"Don't worry," she coughed "I'll be just fine." Naruko placed a wide smile on her face. Then the blackness completely took over her.

The game's back in action.
