Saving old bonds

Chapter 32 (Revised)

Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, Toshiro and Kyuubi were pursuing Naoto who was still running away from them. Leading them deeper into earth territory "How much chakra does that girl have?" Sasuke asked

"I don't know, I once tried to push her to her limits but I ended up running out before she did" Toshiro stated

"If she is anything like her father, she has a lot of it" Kyuubi added

"What I don't understand is, what is driving her? When I lost control, you were the one controlling my actions, so what is controlling hers?" Naruto asked

"Pure emotions, whatever her strongest emotion is right now is driving her. Back when she was fighting it was the fear of being capture, now, I don't know why but its anger and sadness"

"I feel horrible" Toshiro said "This is partly my fault; I shouldn't have kept anything from her"

"It's not like you knew anything, what were you going to tell her, Naoto, I think that boy you just met was your father and you let him get away?" Naruto stated "If anything, this is my fault, if I wouldn't have screwed up twenty years ago none of this would have happened" he added

"It's not like you knew he was going to throw you into a time vortex. This is no one's fault, let's just focus on catching up with her" Sasuke said jumping into the conversation

"But why is she running deeper into earth country? I understand that her emotions are making her run away from Naruto and Toshiro, but if she knows this is earth country, why is she still running towards it"

"She isn't thinking rationally, basically think of a cornered animal. Her basic instincts are telling her to run in the direction you are not" The Kyuubi explained to them

They found a squad of mostly dead rock ninja's, one of them was pinned to a tree by 4 kunais driven through his body "The demon, the demon, horrible demon" he kept on repeating as he was clearly in shock. Naruto was angered at him for calling Naoto a demon, but he had to admit that in her current state she was no better than a demon. As much as it pained him to think of her as such

"You, what direction did the girl run in?" Toshiro asked the man

"Evil, horrible, she killed us all, one by one, ripped his head off, left me for dead, but I just won't die, why won't I die? The demon…" he just kept on rambling on

Sasuke walked up to him and examined him "His wounds are fatal, his liver has been pierced, he has about 5 minutes left to live by the looks of it. The humane thing to do is end his pain" he said as he lifted his blade, the man looked at him

"Thank you…" he said as Sasuke ended the man's life quickly

"I believe she went this way" Kyuubi said

"What makes you think that?" Toshiro asked

"The smell of blood is still fresh on her, I can smell it clearly" he simply said

"But that goes straight to Iwa, there is no way she can defeat the hidden village in the rocks, no matter how strong she is" Itachi stated

Meanwhile inside the city if Iwa, the Tsuchikage was training. One of his guards entered his training grounds "Tsuchikage Sama" He said as he got down on one knee and bowed his head

"What is it? Can't you see that I am in the middle of training?" He simply said annoyed at being disturbed

"I am very sorry my lord, but we have news from the borders"

"What is it now?" He asked still annoyed

"A night Ninja, and a group of renegade Konoha ninja's have entered our lands my lord"

"What? How dare they! I told the Kurokage that anyone entering our borders would be taken care of!"

"The night ninja is a young girl with extraordinary powers, she has already killed some of our best ninjas. One of the survivors that was able to report back even stated that she had demon like powers, almost like the ones of the long thought lost nine tailed fox"

"Really now? Interesting, I want this girl captured right away. We will dissect her piece by piece if we must to find the source of her power. What of these Konoha renegades?"

"Two of them have been identified as the Uchiha brothers my lord"

"So the renegade leader and his famous brother huh? And the others?"

"One of them has hair as white as snow and a black Kimono, but no headband my lord"

"Hair as white as snow? Did he have a white cloak with the number ten on it?"

"No my lord, only the black Kimono"

"I see, is that it?"

"No, there is a fourth one my lord, he is dressed in orange and black. He also wears what seems to be a Kage hat my lord, but it is black and orange in color my lord. There is also a small fox that seems to have nine tails running by his side"

"What? Are you certain of this?" he asked him

"Yes my lord, do you know this man?" he asked

"If it is who I think it is then he is trouble, but it's impossible. It has to be someone else, but the presence of the fox makes it hard to deny"

"Who is it my lord?"

"I can't say for sure but it could very well be the Hokage of Konoha. Long thought lost twenty years ago at the start of their war. I was only a kid back then, but I remember the reports. It was believed that he was on the verge of defeating the Kurokage when in a last-ditch effort he was killed by some unknown jutsu, or so we believed"

"What should we do my lord?"

"Mobilize the ANBU and capture the girl at all cost, then gather my personal guard, I am going after this ghost" he stated as the guard bowed before fallowing his orders

Sakura had left the village and was running at full speed not knowing where to go, but she knew her mother's intuition would lead her to her baby girl "If anyone has HURT HER, I WILL RIP THERE HEADS OFF" Inner Sakura screamed. Suddenly she is stopped by a small team as they blocked her path

A woman bearing the armband with the number ten on it lead the three-man team "And where do you think you're going?" she asked her

"Matsumoto, get out of my way" Sakura simply asked in a calm voice

"I don't think I can do that my dear" she said with a smug grin

"I am not a prisoner here, now will you please get out of my way" she tried asking politely once more

"No of course not, you're not a prisoner, and up until recently you were a valued citizen of the night country"

"Until recently?"

"That headband of yours, it's that of the renegades. Now I know you have a very close relationship with the captain, how close, I don't know, and frankly I don't care. But I cannot allow you to pass. Now just come with us back to the base, we will just ask a few questions, then you will hand over that headband. You should know that if you were anyone else, I would take you straight to the Kurokage, where he would personally execute you"

"My little girl is in danger, and no one, not even a huge pair of breast are going to stop me!" Sakura said in anger as she began making hand signs. Although she had not been a shinobi in over twenty years she had not allowed herself to get sloppy. She did regular training sessions and even spared with Toshiro and helped Naoto as well. Matsumoto was angered by the breast comment as she took out her Katana, but Sakura had finished her hand signs "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" there were now well over 100 Sakura's, they surrounded the small group of night ninja's

"You understand that by doing this, you are putting yourself on the renegade list, right? Not even the captain can save you"

"If it means saving my little girl then I would gladly bare any consequences that comes with my actions" She said as she lunched her attack, every clone concentrated just enough power into their fist to knock their targets out. Matsumoto's escort were quickly taken out but she had been able to avoid the attack

"Do you think such a simple trick would work on me?"

"What do you know, the breast has brains after all" Sakura said with a grin

"SHUT UP BITCH!" She said in anger "I have wanted to kill you for a long time! And once I am done with you I will take your daughter in for questioning. If her mother turned renegade who knows what her daughter would do"

Sakura snapped "IF YOU DARE EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING MY NAOTO, I WILL KILL YOU, I WILL PERSONALLY PUNCTURE EVERY SINGLE NON-VITAL ORGAN AND MAKE YOU BLEED SLOWLY TO DEATH, MAKING YOU BEG FOR ME TO END IT!" "YEAH, TELL THAT COW WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND!" Inner screamed in agreement

"As if you even have the power to lay a single finger on me" Matsumoto said in an arrogant tone

"You're right, I won't just lay a single finger on you, I already have two hands around your ankles" she said with a grin

Matsumoto looked at her feet, and indeed, she was being held by 2 hands coming out of the ground, she tried to get free, but the grip only got tighter

"Now to teach you an old move that I learned a long time ago watching the strongest Hokage to come from Konoha create on the fly" Sakura and a few clones began to run, four of them kicked her screaming out "U, ZU, MA, KI" as the hands holding her down release her flying into the air, while Sakura jumped on the back of another clone kicking her on the back of her head screaming out "NARUTO RENDAN" Matsumoto was slammed into the ground. The force of Sakura's last attack was enough to create a crater under Matsumoto's body as she had filled her kick with chakra

Matsumoto was not moving an inch, she was knocked out cold "TAKE THAT YOU BIG BREAST FREAK, EAT SOME GRASS LIKE THE COW THAT YOU ARE" Inner Sakura screamed in victory as she showed the peace sign and grinned "Don't mess with my girl, if you do, next time I won't just knock you out" she said to the unconscious Matsumoto

Sakura knew that there was no going back anymore. She had just struck down a night vice-captain. Her peaceful life had come to an end as she would now be hunted down like the rest of the resistance members. She took one last look at the small village in the distance, the village that had been her home for the past twenty years. Where Naoto was born, and had grown up into the young women that she was today. A tear ran down her cheek. But she didn't have the time to feel sorry for what she had just done, Naoto needed her and as her mother, she was going to be there for her as she began running north

Naruto and his group were getting worried; they could barely feel Naoto's chakra anymore. Meaning she was far ahead of them "We have to pick up the pace!" Naruto screamed at them

"Look, you two are faster than us, just go on ahead we will catch up" Sasuke said

"Are you sure? We are deep within earth held territory, what if they attack you?" Naruto asked concerned for his friend

"That's not important, Naoto's life is in danger. You guys go on ahead"

Naruto looked at Toshiro who nodded at him indicating he was ready to fallow "Kyuubi, stay behind with them, make sure nothing happens to them" he simply said

"Yes my lord, I will protect them with my life"

Naruto suddenly vanished in a yellow and orange flash, as did Toshiro in a white and black flash

Meanwhile Naoto was heading in a straight line that would take her to Iwa's main gate. Suddenly a small group of rock ninjas are standing in her path, they all bared the masks of the elite ANBU of the rock

"There she is!" one of them screamed out they began making hand signs. Multiple rocks came out from the ground and changed into iron before forming into darts. They began flying towards Naoto, she tried to dodge them but there were too many of them. They pierced her skin in multiple places but it would just heal right away, she took out her Katana

"Hurricane winds!" she screamed out as she swung her blade at them, a large gust of wind blew the darts away

"What power, not only does she heal instantly but her command of the wind is strong"

Four of them sat in a square formation creating a perimeter, they began making hand seals. From behind them four large iron beams came out from the ground and large iron walls began forming closing them all inside, even the sky was being blocked

Naoto looked around her, the four ninjas were not moving and the rest of them were surrounding her. She launched an attack against one of the ninja's sitting still but iron suddenly surrounded him and her blade only ricochet off. She looked at the other three and iron had also formed to protect them. She was unable to strike at any of the four men that had formed the pillars

The rest of the team closed in on Naoto. She felt cornered, she was trapped with nowhere left to go. She lifted her Katana "Tornado blast!" she screamed out sending a gush of wind strong enough to send them all flying into the walls of the iron prison. Suddenly two of the tails disappeared and she fell onto one knee feeling weak

One of the ninjas got back onto his feet "The barrier is working, she is getting weaker as we drain her chakra" he screamed out as the others got back to their feet

Naoto got back to her own feet as she drew her blade in front of her. Her instincts didn't understand why she had just lost so much chakra, but her fear of being captured was getting stronger. She felt that her only chance was to somehow break out of the prison. She turned her attention to the walls of the iron prison and raised her blade "Hurricane force fire destruction level 30!" she screamed, combining 2 techniques together as her Katana shot out a fireball surrounded by winds. Much like when Naruto shot his rasengan surrounded by the winds, it hit the walls of the prison with force sending Naoto flying all the way against the other side of the prison wall as her back hit with force causing her to cough up some blood

The rock ninjas looked in amazement, there was a very large dent along with a small hole that had been created. Although it was being repaired quickly no one had ever managed to do any type of damage to the structure before. This girl was no pushover. She got back to her feet, however her two last tails disappeared. Even the red aura around her body was very faint as her nails had returned to normal. Her eyes were still slightly red but they could now see the blue background, her fangs had also reduced in size as she was panting heavily

"We almost have her!" one of them screamed out

"She looks weak enough to capture, get in formation" screamed another as they all surrounded her

They made hand signs as four similar pillars to the ones outside surrounded Naoto. They quickly formed a box around her. She was now trapped, but the box got smaller and smaller until her entire body was encased. She screamed in pain as one of the ninja's hit the box with an electrical jutsu. The red aura that was around the box dissipated and they waited for a few minutes "her chakra has been completely drained, remove the seals" suddenly both the large prison and the small one encasing Naoto disappeared. Naoto was laying on the ground with her eyes shut motionless. With all of her chakra drained away she had reverted back into her original form, one of them picked her up by the collar to confirm she wouldn't be a threat anymore

"She is completely drained and passed out, let's get her out of here. Our scientist will want to get to work on her as soon as possible" they said as they left the area carrying Naoto away with them

End Chapter 32
