AU: Hey Everyone we are back once again for The Eyes of Change! I know everyone is really mad about us not getting this chapter up sooner. I am very sorry for it. Have had huge writers block and a lot of drama. So please bear with me here. Chey721 has been really sidetracked with stuff too. But together we were able to get this chapter done. I'm sorry it's so late but I have to get it up now. So that I can get up the next chapter. So please show some love so I can have less writers block and get the next chapter done for everyone as soon as possible. Chey721 maybe writing the next chapter by her self, because of all the drama that's going on. But you will know in our next AU if it's all her or if I was involved in some way. We will explain next chapter why this chapter has the Demons in the title.

Chapter 5: Traveling and the Demons
(Forest of Konoha and surrounding areas now night)
"Ryuu-kun I think we should stop for the night". Sakura said looking very exhausted. Sakura after saying this started to fall as she collapsed. "Sakura!" Mitsuko yelled while trying to catch her friend but failed. Sakura would die if she hit the ground dew to how high up they were for safety measures. They all watched as Sakura fell to her death. They heard the sound of a body hitting the ground. Team Kasai jumped back to where they were, but they were surprised to see it wasn't Sakura, who hit the ground. "Ryuu!". Sasuke yelled while jumping down to see if he was ok.
"RYUU! ARE YOU OK?!" Sasuke yelled. As they reached where the two fell. Sakura was just starting to wake up. But when Sakura sat up and fully opened her eyes, she saw the worst sight she could have ever imagined. "Ryuu?… Ryuu?… RYUU?….. RYUU! NO!" Sakura started yelling into the night. As the rest of the team made it to where they were. "Ryuu. No, come on man you have had worse. No, NO! Ryuu you told me you would never die!" Sasuke yelled as he kept checking for a pulse but could not find one. But nothing. Suddenly they barely moved while weapons struck where they were. All 4 other members of Team Kasai looked at there attackers. They where hidden rain missing ninjas. Probably sent by Kabuto and Obito.
Naruto looked at the 4 missing Ninja, and spoke but not with worry with worry for what could happen to them "What are you 4 doing? Who are you? And why are you trying to kill us?" "We are Ninja for Lord Kabuto and Lord Obito and we are here to-" But the man was caught off by Sasuke. "I'm warning you now. Leave or you will feel my full wrath!" Sasuke said with the worst, angriest look on his face. "Please kid what do you think you could do". As soon as the other man said that he felt some chakra he did not feel before. But this chakra was not like anything else he had felt before. This was dark evil chakra. "What is this? This chakra is so dark where is it coming from?" They then looked over about 20 feet away. To Ryuu blood running down the middle of his face and showing scars and cuts now that his ANBU mask and jacket was off. You could see scars from past battles and blood and cuts from the fall.
"Uhhhhh ohhhh.. You made him angry again". Naruto said with a worried look on his face. "Which one the Bleeding dead dude or the emo?" Asked one of the missing ninja. Naruto and Sakura just ran backwards to get out of the line of fire. Before speaking again. "All 3 of them". "What do you mean all 3?" The ninja asked. Naruto just pointed to Mitsuko without speaking. The ninja just looked at her with a confused look on his face. Before he had a look of complete fear on his face. Mitsuko was known for being very ill tempered, and she was not the person you wanted to piss off. "Ryuu! Stay out of this! Your hurt and we need you at full power! Plus Sasuke and I can take this!" Mitsuko yelled. Sasuke was even a little scared but quickly shook it off. Now looking at Ryuu.
"Good I was going to feed these little punks to you anyway. But I guess seeing your and Sasuke's team work will be fun too". Ryuu said as he settled down and watched the two. "You little bastard! Don't underestimate us!" The ninja said as he threw kunai at Ryuu. But the kunai was stopped in mid-air before it could even reach Ryuu. By his Rinnegan. The kunai was then shot threw a nearby tree. "Aww poor tree. Now I'm not underestimating you. These two could together possible bring me down or weaken me greatly. Your just lucky that they will kill me if I don't let them handle it". Ryuu said as he looked annoyed at the last part. "Now then can you 2 finish them off quickly? My body's killing me. I need Sakura to heal me and I want to sleep".
"Hai". Both of them said it at the same time. As if on command Mitsuko started running through hand signs. "WATER STYLE: GREAT WATER PRISON" Mitsuko yelled while 4 giant clear water walls formed around the other ninja. "Please you think this will hold use. We are water ninja too". "WATER STYLE: WATER BOMB" The ninja yelled causing all the water prison to fall on the ground and fly everywhere. Mitsuko only smirked. "Now Sasuke!" Mitsuko yelled. The missing ninja lost sight of him from the explosion. But he was at the bass of the water which the ninja where standing on. With Sasuke's Chadori charged up. He struck the base of the water causing an electric shock to be sent to the missing ninja. Which caused them to all be stunned and not able to move. "WATER STYLE: ULTIMATE WATER DRAGON JUTUS" Mitsuko yelled while a water dragon formed around her. But this is no normal water dragon. This was a bigger water dragon. One with bigger fangs and felt more like a real dragon. It attacked the stunned hidden mist missing ninja's with all it's might, and when the dragon fully hit the ground it created a bigger explosion that even Sasuke could've thought it would be. When the dust settled. Everyone was stunned to see all the ninja torn to bits. But they where more surprised to see the huge boulders flouting over there heads. They all turned there heads to Ryuu after the boulders fell to the ground next to them. He was barley standing but was somehow able to use the Rinnegan. That is until after using the Rinnegan he collapsed again.
"Damnit Ryuu not again!" Mitsuko yelled running to her brothers side. They knew moving Ryuu in the condition he is in would only make it worse. So they decided that it was already night and they where pretty tired. They should set up camp. So everyone started doing just that. Without of course Sakura as she was at Ryuu's side first and never left it. After they all decided on this spot. Sakura started working on Ryuu's wounds, Naruto was setting up the tents and beds and pretty much everything. Well Sasuke and Mitsuko went to go and "get firewood" more like play kissy face with each other. Which was over an hour ago. "Where are those guys Ryuu needs to have heat to help his healing". Sakura said. Almost on que Sasuke and Mitsuko came out of the forest with fire wood. "WHERE WERE YOU TWO?! IT HAS BEEN OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF!" Sakura yelled with good reason. "Sorry, finding all this firewood was hard". Mitsuko said with a smirk on her face. "Ya that's what you were doing. More like finding Sasuke's wood". Sakura thought then sighed. Sasuke started the fire very quickly as they all sat out around it.
They even brought Ryuu's bed out of the tent, Because Sakura refused to get out of his bed. Instead she cuddled him as if for dear life. Partly because she still had work to do on Ryuu but had to wait for the other healing to take effect. Sasuke and Mitsuko were cuddled up together and Naruto was scouting out the area. Everyone was just sitting there and they finally relaxed after Naruto stopped scouting.
They talked about the old times, and about there old missions and how much has changed. But as they were talking they failed to realize that Ryuu had woken up, atleast until he spoke. "I remember the good old times. When my parents were still alive. Don't you Sasuke?" Just hearing Ryuu's voice was shocking enough but then to say something like that to Sasuke. Everyone thought he would go into another blind rage. But instead he just got to his feet and walked over and sat next to Ryuu's bed. "Ya Ryuu I remember them all. We had so much fun back then. You, Itachi, and myself all used to play together. But now it's like everything is wrong".
"That is why we are going to save him, and make everything right again". Ryuu said with a smile. Then he started coughing uncontrollably. Ryuu felt a slight tug on his arm. He looked down to see Sakura laying next to him while he was sitting up. "Ryuu you need to lay back down now". "Ok Sakura-chan". Everyone was stunned to say the least. Ryuu is known to not take orders very well and hates being told to rest. But he did not fight with Sakura or anyone about it. "Maybe his injuries are worse then I thought. I should cuddle up with him more and check him again". Sakura thought as she cuddled up closer to Ryuu and put his head on her chest. "This feels so nice, and I have no idea why". Ryuu thought while he cuddled his head on Sakura's chest. After everyone's long battle of trying to get Ryuu's bed with Ryuu and Sakura in it back into his tent. It was hard but they did it. Then Sasuke and Mitsuko went to there tent. "No surprise there". Naruto and Sakura thought. Then Naruto went to his tent. Normally they would have had someone on guard duty. But they knew if they would have that Ryuu would have woken up and oppt to take it. Even when he is in no shape to do so. That's just the kind of person he was raised to be, and he would never change.
Everyone feel asleep pretty quickly. Mitsuko and Sasuke didn't do much but kiss a little. Naruto had an argument with Kurma and they weren't speaking for now. Everyone was now asleep that is until Sasuke had heard a noise, sounding like it was coming from the front of the camp. Sasuke quickly got up without waking Mitsuko which was hard enough to do. But Sasuke knew who was out there. As he opened his tent fold he saw that he was right. Ryuu was sitting on a log with a kunai in his hands ready to attack any intruder who dared to come near the camp. "Shouldn't you be asleep". Sasuke said as he sat on the log. "Hn. Shouldn't you". Ryuu said as he looked into the fire. "Maybe, your sister will kill me if she finds out that I'm not next to her right now. But so will Sakura if she wakes up and you aren't there. She will be so worried she will probably be screaming after a few seconds thinking someone kidnapped you or something". Ryuu just smiled after what Sasuke had said.
Then they heard another laugh behind them. It was Naruto as he sat down on the log. "I see you guys can't sleep either". "Nope" They both said. "Ryuu are you sure you should even be out here. I mean it is kinda cold and Sakura said injuries heal slower because of cold. Maybe you should go back to your tent. Here I will take you". Naruto said but as soon as he offered his hand to Ryuu. He was flipped onto his back. "Naruto I'm fine. I am probably going out to train in a minute, alone. I will be fine by the time we fight those two, and as long as NO ONE tells Sakura I will be fine. So don't tell her". Ryuu said while looking at the two.
"Don't tell me what Ryuu-kun?" Ryuu heard sweet but angry and scary voice behind the 3. They all turned around very slowly to see a very mad Sakura behind them with a weird smile on her face. "O-O-Oh S-S-Sakura-chan. Umm when did you wake up?" Ryuu asked very scared. "Oh just a second ago. So what do you not want to tell me Ryuu-kun?" Sakura said while she leaned down to meet eyes with Ryuu. "I umm. I was just going back to bed and didn't want them to wake you up". Ryuu said as quickly as he could. "Oh good. I wouldn't want you to get sick or try and train and hurt yourself again. But just for safety". Sakura said as she pulled out a rope and tied up Ryuu. Then started to drag him back to there tent. "Come on Ryuu time for bed". Sakura said with a evil smile. "Oh Kami NO! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! SASUKE! NARUTO! HELP!". Ryuu yelled as he was slowly being pulled in the tent by Sakura.
"Should we go help him?" Naruto asked. "No. You should not". Both Sasuke and Naruto turned around slowly to see a very angry Mitsuko behind them. Without them even being able to speak a word. Mitsuko suddenly slammed Naruto into the ground knocking him out. "Now Sasuke you can either come back and sleep with me or sleep on the ground like Naruto is now. So which will it be?" Mitsuko said with an odd smile. Sasuke without even saying a word dashed back into there tent. "That's what I thought". Mitsuko said while walking back to the tent. Sasuke's eyes widened and Mitsuko smirked evilly as she closed the tent fold.
(Next Morning)
Naruto woke up with a splitting headache as he remembers what happened last night and begins to laugh. Just as if on cue Ryuu with a cane and Sasuke walked out of there tents. The girls still fast asleep. They both sat down on both sides on Naruto. "So how did it g-". Naruto was cut off by Ryuu and Sasuke both punching him in the face. "That's for not helping us you dick!". Sasuke and Ryuu both yelled at Naruto. After Naruto finally woke up, he went and sat back down where he was. "As I was saying how did the night go?" "Well lets see I didn't get to train and Sakura would not let me go for anything, and that rope was so unconformable. I could not move at all". Ryuu said while stretching his arms out.
"Oh, well what's with the cane there gramps?" Naruto said while smiling and pointing at the cane. This caused Ryuu to pop a vain. "Sakura said I had to use it when I walk or she would do to me what Mitsuko did to you last night but worse, and don't you ever call me gramps again!" Ryuu said while holding the cane. "Ok…. Gramps". Naruto said. Sakura just woke up because of all the noise. As she opened the fold for her tent. She saw Ryuu chasing Naruto with his cane while Sasuke was trying to put out the fire that got really high really quick. Sakura just watched everything unfold. That is until she saw Ryuu was running without his cane on the ground. Now Sakura was really mad. She hit the ground with great force to get everyone's attention. "Oh Shit. Sakura's up". They all thought as they heard the ground crack. All 3 of them looked to see Sakura very mad. "Oh S-S-Sakura-chan d-did we w-wake you u-up".Ryuu asked very scared, because he knew he was going to be the one to get it because he didn't walk with his cane. Sakura just walked up to Ryuu and Naruto. Then for no reason hit Naruto almost back to Konoha.
"Now Ryuu it's time for your morning treatment". Sakura said with a smile. Ryuu stood up now feeling a lot better after his morning treatment. Which was a massage then hot rocks, then cold rocks. After that another massage and he was almost as good as new. "Aw I feel way better now. Let's go!" Ryuu said as he tried to go and jump up to the trees. But he was grabbed by his collier from behind. He turned around to see who did it. Only to see Sakura right behind him.
"Oh, no you don't! Your not going back up there and jumping around until your fully healed. For now your riding on Sasuke". Sakura said while pointing to Sasuke. "What!?". Sasuke said with a confused face. "Gross. Sasuke you better not try a reach around". Ryuu said which caused everyone to blush. But after what Sasuke said Mitsuko and Sakura where glowing bright red. "I won't. Just keep your package away from me". After that Sakura and Mitsuko where both glowing with bright red faces while they had dirty thoughts come to them. "Reach around". Mitsuko thought. "Ryuu's package". Sakura thought.
Finally made it threw this chapter. So much writers block and drama in life. I'm sorry everyone that we did not get this done when we were suppose to. Had some busy and stressful weeks. I hope to have another one up sooner then this one, and once again I am sorry. - Cold Wave13
