The pain...the pain is too much to bear. Why can't I do anything? Why can't I think straight? Why can't I react? All I can do...is scream?
I've been thinking this over and over again but I can't...why can't my body do what my mind is saying? I don't...understand...weren't they coming? Wasn't I going to be rescued from this hell? If I don't do something...if I don't do something fast...
Then
I'll
Really
Die...
Sasuke Uchiha was in deep distraught. His best friend looked in so much pain that Sasuke even felt nauseous himself. His best friend, the number one knucklehead ninja, the orange hokage, the nine-tails jinchuuriki, was dyeing in the hands of the most formidable enemy in the present time. My very own dobe.
"Sasuke, how much further?" Kakashi lept for the sprinting Uchiha, trying his best to stay at the raven's pace.
A smile escaped the Uchiha's lips. "We're here."
A cave was right in front of them, a massive wall of stone extending for miles long.
"Sakura." Sasuke turned to the pink-haired Kunoichi. "You know what to do."
"Cha!" And her fist connected with the wall.
The screaming stopped. It was quiet. Almost too quiet to have ever believed after so much pain and torture of never a soft and silent moment. It almost felt like a sweet bliss. A sweet, sweet bliss.
"Madara."
Fuck, I'm still alive to hear that voice...that damn voice...
"What is it?"
"Konoha shinobi are here. Sasuke, too."
"Damn those persistent leaf. Zetsu."
A new voice entered the conversation. "Yes, Madara-sama."
"Keep them busy, will you?"
"Right."
"Kabuto, I'm sure you want to join as well?"
"I was waiting for a formidable opponent. I'll be back in a few moments."
The sounds of reseeding footsteps and an annoyed sigh. "Let's get this over with, shall we? Uzumaki Naruto?"
I wish I could kill him... "Damn asshole..."
"I'm glad you still have some strength in you. If you didn't, well, you'd be in a lot more pain. Say goodbye to the living world."
Then, the pain returned. The screaming that somehow managed to escape from the burning and broken voice, tears that he thought were no longer there escaped from his sad, blue eyes.
Will I really die? Or will they make it in time?
His stomach was burning so, so much and his entire body was covered in a painful sweat. His heart throbbed against his chest, feeling almost as though it were trying to pry itself free from this aching, bleeding body.
Bubbling red chakra pooled from the blond and into the hand of the, so called, "Masked man, Uchiha Madara".
"Sasuke, you take care of these Zetsu, I'll fight off Kabuto!" Kakashi drew his Kunai forward and sliced open a zetsu before heading to the front of the group where Sasuke was fighting against the predecessor snake.
The Uchiha growled and continued to battle against him. "No, Kakashi. I'll finish him off."
"But-"
A voice broke in. "Ladies, move aside and let everyone else get a chance!" Sakura smashed her fist into the ground, a mere inch from Kabuto's face.
The snake frowned. "Damn ninja."
Kakashi agreed with the pink-haired Kunoichi. "Sai, Kiba, Hinata, and Shikamaru, you stay here and fight them off."
"Hai!"
"Team 7, follow me." He dodged around Hinata whom was fighting off Kabuto who had tried to chase after the ssilver-haired man.
Kiba stabbed at three zetsu. "Hurry up and-"
A scream...a bloodcurdling scream had bounced off the walls and only continued.
"It seems you're too late." Kabuto was backed up against a wall in chuckling.
Shikamaru clenched his fist and prepared for a shadow possession. "What the hell does that mean?"
"The Shinobi world will fall to it's knees. Kukuku." A smoke bomb and the man vanished.
Team 7 continued forward and followed the devastating yelps and cries for help. Finally, when it seemed they would never find their way through the labyrinth, they were beheld with the sight of a bleeding and battered boy and a senile man in a mask.
"Uchiha Madara..." Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"And, it seems, Uchiha Sasuke. I thought you would have lasted longer as a pawn but I fear not. Ah, well. Only one flaw in my perfect plan." Madara turned to glare at Team 7, his hand still pulling chakra from Naruto. "Why don't you all wait there until I've completed my little task?"
"Gaaaahhhhh!"
Sakura drew a Kunai. "Sensei!"
In response, the silver-haired man lunged forward with Kunai and Sharingan activated. Madara jumped from his current position and landed several feet away. The screaming from the blond had almost immediately stopped and was followed by groans and whimpers.
"Sakura, Sasuke, get Naruto down from there, now!"
"Right!" Both said in unison and went for their teammate.
The masked man had never moved from his spot. He only stared passed Kakashi and at the teens, narrowing his eyes and chuckling at the two. "I hardly think that would be a good idea."
Sasuke stopped his hands from signing for Chidori to remove the restraints and blindfold. "Shut up!"
"Sasuke." Kakashi turned back to glare at Madara. "What the hell does that mean?"
"Take a look yourself." And with that, the man vanished.
Naruto was growling, cursing, and whimpering all the while that his body was being covered in a tremendous amount of demon chakra, his skin beginning to burn away in several parts of his face and his stomach while his whiskers sketched themselves thicked and his teeth bore into fangs.
"Damn..." Sasuke ignored the burns he received when he released the blond from the wall and lay him gently to the ground and broke the chakra-resistants free, carefully removing the blindfold to reveal black, pitless eyes with pupils that were blood-red.
Kakashi stepped over to where Naruto was. The whiskered teen barely had his eyes open but enough to see his emotions behind those lids: anger, pain, fear, and a malicious intent to kill. "The Kyuubi must have something to do with this..."
Then, a growl came from the boy. "it seems that the kid was so scared he stole away my hatred filled Chakra. Right now I have no control and he is unconscious. It looks like the hate residing in himself is the one in control..."
Sakura frowned. "What do we do?"
"Run."
