"Naruto! Naruttooo!"

The faint roaring began to sound in his mind, beginning to break through and causing the images to distort.

"Naruto, wake up! Do you hear me? Damn it, wake up!"

He opened his eyes, the world around him was spinning and he couldn't help but feel nauseous. The room had become colder mainly on his stomach and he couldn't explain why. Feeling something cold against his chest made him twitch as he widened his eyes to find Kabuto standing over him; holding something shinning in his hand.

Kabuto, seeing Naruto waking up, put on a smile. "Now, hold still. This will hurt a little."

Naruto didn't like the tone of voice the snake had used. He tried to move his hands and found them restrained by something to the back of the bed on which he lay on. He tried to move his feet but found they were also restrained; hearing the metal clanking of chains. He began to feel something on his chest, finding, as he looked down, leather straps that wrapped around the bed and strapped him down.

He didn't like this and began to feel nervous. Wh-what the hell? He tried to release himself but found no hold on his chakra supply. He winced as something sharp pierced into the skin on his belly and looked down to find Kabuto holding a needle and slowly pouring liquid into him. He could feel the cold of it run through his system until he could feel it in his arms and legs, to his fingers tips and his toes.

After moments had passed and Kabuto had placed the needle away Naruto could feel it turning hotter until it burned. Why was it hurting so bad?! It felt as though it were flowing straight to his heart and burning his insides!

"Aaghh!" He couldn't help but release a low scream. It hurt so bad! It was getting stronger by the second and he could feel the searing pain run along his spine until it finally burned so bad that the pain was unbearable.

"Gahhhhrrrraaaaaaaa!" What was happening? All he could do was scream at the top of his lungs, hoping the pain would disappear.

What-what's going on? Why do I feel like this?! He could feel his heartbeat quickening and his whole body slowly becoming numb.

"S-stop..." He closed his eyes and slowly began to whisper, hoping that his words would reach Kabuto and he would put a stop to the pain. "Please..." His voice was becoming weaker and his throat was sore.

Kabuto noticed this and only looked down on the boy, a smile on his face, his glasses shinning in the dim light of the cave. "It'll be over in a moment, Naruto-kun."

Naruto was in utter agony and he couldn't even attempt to fight back. His arms and legs were chained to the bed and his chest was strapped down. "You...bastard..." In those words he felt his heart contort; almost as if someone had crushed it from the inside. He had felt this before, when he was younger and out on a mission, and he was sure as hell that the feeling wasn't enjoyable.

"Naruto-kun...," Kabuto placed his hand on his stomach where he had been injected, "Hold still."

Naruto tried to move his head to see beyond the leather strap but failed. He couldn't reach the point at where he could feel Kabuto's hands placed on. Then he stopped mid-attempt when he felt the snake's hand shift. His eyes slowly widened in horror as he felt a dagger being pressed deep into his stomach. It was being pushed further down, inch by inch. The pain was so unbearable that he didn't know how to react.

The soft sounds of squirting blood echoed around the room. It all seemed to be frozen in time...

"Gaaahhhh!" He gasped for air as he felt the metal of the object, nearly being able to taste it. He tried pulling free his arms and legs but failed miserably. His limbs were tightly clamped on, knowingly because of his ninja way of never giving up. But right now he could feel it slip right through him, for he was begging for release from the never ending pain.

"P-please...please...ple-please...please...please...I...I beg...please...stop...please...why are...you...doing this...stop..." Tears were now streaming down his face. He felt so defeated that he couldn't stand it. He grit his teeth, tasting the saltiness of his tears as they continued to roll down his face. The pain wouldn't cease and that was all that he really wanted. "I can't...please..." I can't stand it any longer. Please, I'm begging you. Stop! His eyes were beginning to dull from all light. He could only see the blurry figure of Kabuto walking slowly up his body until he reached eye to eye contact.

"It'll be over soon. One more test and it's over, alright?" He ripped the dagger from Naruto's stomach, hearing the boy's cry of pain, and held it to Naruto's neck. "Now, I need you to stay up for this, Naruto-kun."

He swallowed as he felt the dagger pressed up against his throat. More tears began to fall and he tried to pull them back in but that only seemed to cause them to pour back out. Am I going to die? Like this?

"That's enough." A voice sounded at the cell door. "Chidori Nagashi!"

Several bolts of lightning struck Naruto, his chains conducting the electricity, as he screamed ever louder before losing consciousness.

"Tsunade...what are we going to do?" Shizune was putting her gloves into a garbage pail as she said this.

The fifth Hokage put her hands to her face. She wheeled her chair away, thrusting the piles of paper work on her desk onto the floor. He fists were in tight balls. "Get me Kakashi, Kiba, Shino..." She rubbed her temples. "Shikamaru, Neji, Hinata, Tenten, Ino, Choji, Lee, and Guy. Hurry!"

Shizune hesitated. "Uhh... Tsunade-sama, most of them are on missions..."

"I don't care if they're on a mission!" She slammed her fist against her desk. "This is a village crisis!"

"Y-yes, Tsunade-sama." She hurried out of the room, Tonton following behind.

Sakura stood at the edge of the room, not taking any notice on what had happened a moment ago. She was busy thinking and whispering to herself. "What if the Akatsuki have him? He could be dead by now and we're wasting so much precious time. If he's still alive is he okay? I wonder what horrible things they could be doing to him." She clutched the neck of her shirt.

"Lady Tsunade, I'm going as well!" She fiercely turned to the Hokage, rage in her gaze.
