Saving old bonds

Chapter 35 (Revised)

Sasuke and Itachi were in a fighting stance ready to begin fighting. Suddenly the Kyuubi jumped in the middle ready to assist in his small form "Kyuubi, this fight is ours, we don't need your help" Sasuke said

"But lord Naruto told me to make sure you are safe, and I swore that I would protect you with my life" the Kyuubi said

"Don't worry about us, just make sure no one interferes with our fight and protect Toshiro, he is vulnerable in his weaken state. But do not help us" Itachi said

The Kyuubi was unhappy at having to stay on the side lines, but he nodded as he jumped to Toshiro's side. Obviously upset to not be a part of the fight

Itachi suddenly began making hand signs and took a deep breath "Katon Hosenka" bringing his hand to his mouth and began spitting out multiple fireballs towards the Tsuchikage

The Tsuchikage began making hand signs of his own "Earth Shield!" a large chunk of earth raised up from the ground in front of him to protect him as the fireballs hit the wall, but suddenly he heard something else

"CHIDORI SWORD STRIKE!" a blade full of electrical energy pierced threw the earth shield and made its way into the Tsuchikage's arm forcing him to take few steps back as the shield crumbled and blood began coming from his wound

He began making new hand signs, his body dipped into the ground, Sasuke and Itachi got into a defensive position, parts of the ground began breaking up into pieces, flying towards them, Sasuke and Itachi stood back to back kicking or blocking with their Kunais the incoming projectiles, they were working as a team in perfect sync together. The ground opened up and the Tsuchikage came out, his fist were covered in rock as he threw a punch at Sasuke. Itachi grabbed Sasuke's arms and jumped forward, the attack just barely misses Sasuke's face as they fall down to the ground

But they didn't lose any time getting back up to their feet and continue their attack on the Tsuchikage

Toshiro was forced to sit down as his weaken state could no longer support him on his legs. He felt useless for being unable to participate in the battle. He also dammed himself for underestimating the Tsuchikage. He heard a group of people coming from behind, he turned his head as did the Kyuubi, ready to defend themselves if they needed to. But to Toshiro's surprise, it was Sakura leading a group of resistance members, and more importantly she seemed to be wearing her headband "TOSHIRO!" Sakura screamed as she joined him "Are you hurt?" she asked ready to give him medical aid

"No, but thanks. I just used up too much of my chakra in my fight, I should be fine once I am rested. But what are you doing here?"

"I…Felt like Naoto was in danger, so I left the village" she said sadly

"I see, I don't know specifically where Naoto is, but the Tsuchikage claims that she has been captured. Sakura, I am sorry, I broke my word to keep her safe, I… am not worthy of being your friend or her god father"

Sakura was shocked to learn about the possible capture of Naoto "You didn't fail her or me, you did everything you could, including throw away your loyalty to the night and enter into earth territory to save her"

"Still…Sakura, you should know, Naruto is back"

"Yeah, Ino told me, where is he?" she asked

"He went on ahead to save Naoto. He knows about her being his daughter, he should be in Iwa right now"

"Alone?" she asked shocked

"Yeah, at first we were just chasing Naoto, trying to catch her before they could capture her, but if she was captured before he could reach her, then no doubt he went into the city to save her"

"Have you seen two other leaf ninjas? A man and a woman my age" Hanabi asked

"No, sorry I haven't"

A huge explosion in front of them caught their attention as the Tsuchikage was sent flying to the ground and Sasuke was standing panting heavily "Is that the Tsuchikage?" Ino asked

Toshiro nodded to her, she tried to go to Sasuke's and Itachi's side but the Kyuubi got in her path "I am sorry, but they have asked me to stay here and make sure that there is no interference"

"But Sasuke Sama looks hurt!" Ino said wanting to render assistance to her leader

"I am sorry, but those are their wishes" he simply said refusing to move. Ino wanted to just ignore him but knew that the fox was taking his orders seriously. And she didn't wish to anger the nine-tail fox demon in any way

"Toshiro, will you be alright here?" Sakura asked

"Yeah don't worry, I have this nine-tail guardian anyway, and it's not like I am completely powerless. Some of my chakra has returned…" he said trying to reassure her

"Since we can be of no assistance here, we will continue on and see if we can help Naruto, he may be in danger if he is trying to take on the entire rock village on his own. I know him, he is stubborn and emotional, he is stupid enough to do it…" Sakura said with a warm voice as she remembered Naruto's warm, stupid, yet loving smile. She gave Ino and Shikamaru a nod"

"What about Konohamaru and Yuki?" Hanabi asked worried about her team and friends

"They probably just used a different route to get to Iwa, we will find them latter" Ino said to Hanabi, not knowing if it was the truth

Sakura and her team continued on their way towards Iwa as the battle continued between the Tsuchikage and the brothers. Everyone was panting as their energy was wearing down, the Tsuchikage began making hand signs, a large area around them began to liquefy into mud as all three of them were dragged down under the earth

Sasuke and Itachi fell into an underground cave as the Tsuchikage fell on his feet "Welcome to my underground heaven" he said with a grin

Sasuke and Itachi got back to their feet. They could feel the air was very thin and they had a hard time breathing properly "Fire attacks here will be useless as the oxygen level is too low" Itachi pointed out

"Well, we have plenty of moves to use that doesn't require fire" Sasuke said with a grin, they both took out a Kunai and began running in sync going from left to right, right to left trying not to make themselves an easy target

The Tsuchikage remained calmed as suddenly rocks began to pummel them from all sides, left, right, top, bottom, diagonal, every single direction, they tried to cover themselves, but the rocks were too small for them to deflect, a lot of them punctured their skin and did minor wounds. But they were too small to cause any real damage, they felt like it was just a warning. Trying to tell them that in this environment he can use everything as a weapon. They backed off trying to rethink their strategy as the Tsuchikage grinned

"Itachi, I got an idea, think you can distract him for a while?" Sasuke said to his older brother

"Of course, what is your plan little brother?" Itachi asked

"Just keep him off me, I will take care of the rest" Sasuke said as he began concentrating on something, the Tsuchikage knew that they were up to something and began his attack. Not wanting to give them the chance to attack, he tried to strike at Sasuke but Itachi got in his way

The Tsuchikage began making more signs, a large rock blade appeared and he took it, it suddenly changed into a sharp iron blade as he poured chakra into it. Itachi took out his own blade and launched an immediate attack not allowing him the chance to strike at Sasuke. They both continued to try and strike each other as they seemed to be equal in sword skills, Sasuke's eyes suddenly opened, his regular Sharingan had changed to the much stronger Mangekyo Sharingan. His hand was glowing blue with overwhelming chakra "Itachi, get out of the way!" Sasuke screamed out Itachi wasted no time in complying as he jumped out of the way, the Tsuchikage expecting an attack from Sasuke quickly began making hand signs, Sasuke screamed out "Chidori Eiso!" as he swung his arm, the energy formed a ten meter long spear of pure electrical power as it was heading straight for the Tsuchikage. However, he had already finished his hand signs "Ultimate iron defense!" he said as wall after wall after wall of iron barriers erupted from the ground, Sasuke just grinned as he watched his attack hit the first wall and disappear, he could hear screams of agonizing pain from the other side

Sasuke fell down to one knee, the attack had taken most of his chakra as the iron walls began to crumble to the ground, they could see the Tsuchikage had been pierced by the spear multiple times as the energy spears were still glowing in his body

The Tsuchikage had fallen to his knees with blood dripping all over his body, he coughed up some blood, knowing that most of his vital organs had been pierced. He didn't have long to live "How… did your attack get through my defense..." he asked

Sasuke forced his body up and grinned "I knew you were going to use some type of shield, you are more a defensive shinobi then offensive. Had you used earth as a shield the electrical current would have simply passed through with no problem and you probably knew that. So you decided to use iron, big mistake since iron conducts energy with almost no lost. In other words you would have been better off using earth, although it still would have went through it would have lost some of its power. And the blade broke into piece upon impact with your body, striking you multiple times"

"I see, you both really are as powerful as the rumors say" he said as his voice got weaker "My only comfort is knowing that you will die here with me"

"What?" Itachi asked

The Tsuchikage grinned "As soon as I die, this cave will collapse, you are meters underground, you will not be able to dig yourselves out" he said as he collapsed to the ground, blood pouring out from his wounds

The cave suddenly began to rumble as rocks and debris began falling down "We need to find a way out of here!" Sasuke said to his brother as the ceiling began caving in on them

Meanwhile Naruto and Naoto had exited the hospital, but they both stopped as they find themselves surrounded by hundreds of ninja's "Surrender now and your lives will be spared" the lead ninja said

"What, and be strapped down to a table like you did with my little girl and be forced to not only endure the same pain she went through, but to have her go through it again? YEAH RIGHT!" Naruto said in anger. But he was worried, he was putting up a tough front. His chakra was running out and with Naoto in a weaken state he would have to protect her and get them out of this situation

A group of ninjas launched an attack on Naruto, he used his speed and strength to fight them off. He was reluctant in using any jutsus as it would drain his chakra even faster, this way he could at least stay in Kyuubi mode longer and use the speed and power to his advantage

At first he was able to fend them off, but there were too many. He was beginning to get tired and although he wasn't using any jutsus his chakra was still draining by simply being in Kyuubi mode. That's when he heard a scream, he turned around and saw that a few of them had been able to grab Naoto. She was trying to fight them but she was still too weak. Naruto's blood began to boil as he saw them lay their hands on his little girl, he ran towards them without caring about his own wellbeing. He felt multiple kunais hit him in the back but he ignored them as he grabbed a single kunai, he dug it into his arm forcing a wound to open and blood to pour out, he swung his arm in the air with speed, knowing that it would heal in a few seconds. he concentrated his chakra into the blood and the chakra solidified and formed one large ball of blood and chakra that he is able to control, he made them head for the men holding Naoto. They pierced through their bodies at extreme speed multiple times causing multiple holes and wounds. the men die a very painful death as Naruto began making them attack other ninjas before they ran out of chakra and the blood re-liquefied and fell to the ground

Naruto was panting heavily and sweat was dripping from his forehead. three of his tails suddenly disappeared due to his low chakra. He was unable to sustain them and he had only killed a few rock ninja's. He ran to Naoto's side wanting to be able to protect her, he wanted to just grab her and flee but there was nowhere to run as the enemy surrounded them

Naoto was petrified, she didn't want to be captured again and she also didn't want to lose her father. She had just met him for the first time in her life, she couldn't lose him so soon. she had so many questions for him, she didn't want for her life to end before she could get to know the man that had brought her into this world. The one that her mother spoke so highly of, the man respected by everyone in the resistance "I am sorry Naoto…" Naruto simply said knowing he didn't have the power, chakra or energy needed to get them out of here

End Chapter 35

Seems both Naruto and Sasuke are in a tough position, will they survive?
