Before Sasuke showed up-
I opened the door and was face to face with a black robe with red clouds. I looked up and my eyes met coal black ones.
"Can I help you?" I said to the man before me. I looked around him to see a blue man with a large sword. "If, your looking for your hotel room this isn't it. Good day to you." I said closing the door. A blue hand shot out and pushed the door open.
"Not so fast kid. Step out of the room." The blue man growled at me. I rolled my eyes and stepped out.
"What?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Naruko Uzumaki?" The coal eyed man spoke.
"The one and only." I said leaning against the door. "You are?"
"Akutsuki." The blue man smirked.
"What's that?" I asked
"None of your concern." The other man said. "Now, I'm going to have to ask you to come with us." he said.
"Cooperate so this can be easy on you and us."The blue man said. I thought about it. Boring hotel room, or weird gang I've never heard of.
"Sure why not. It's not like I'm doing anything." I shrugged walking down the hall. The men didn't move. I turned around. "Well? Let's go!" I said waiting for them to start walking. We left the hotel and they walked on either side of me, blocking me from anyone's suspicious wandering eyes.
Sasuke's POV
Present time-
I fell to my knees. Naruko was gone. Her stuff was in the room though. There was no sign of a struggle. Was she threatened? Knocked out? Did my bastard brother hurt Naruko!? I got angrier.
"FUCKING ITACHI!" I yelled punching a hole in the wall. Itachi ruined everything good in my life. And now he's taken Naruko too. I stuck my head out the window for fresh air.
"Where are we going anyway?" A familial voice asked. I popped open my eyes and saw a long tied up blond haired head.
"Naruko?" I breathed. On either side of her, blocking her from anyone who wasn't above, was A blue haired man and a familiar black haired head. I growled at the black haired man, that was unmistakeably, and without a doubt, Itachi. With MY Naruko. I jumped out the window.
"NARUKO GET AWAY FROM THEM!" I yelled Naruko turned around.
"Sasuke?" she said surprised.
"NARUKO GET OVER HERE. NOW!" I growled glaring at Itachi , who hadn't turned around. Naruko hesitated then began to walk over to me, when the blue man grabbed her arm and held a sword to her neck. "Crap." I growled, my sharingan flaring. Itachi finally turned around.
"Long time no see Little brother." he said sounding bored. It just made me angrier. I put my training to use.
"I've grown stronger. I've survived. For this moment." I said I summoned the chakra needed for the Chidori. Lightning formed in my hand and I rushed Itachi, he easily deflected my best attack. Naruko managed to get out of that man's hold and ran over to where Itachi had flung me.
"Let's get outta here Sasuke!" she yelled pulling my arm. I yanked away from here.
"Naruko run and don't let them catch you. Got it?" I said, not looking away from Itachi.
"What? Sasuke, no offense but theses guys are to strong for you to handle on your own." she said yanking even harder. "I can't just leave you here to die." She said seriously.
"Naruko, I have to fight him." I said pulling away again.
"Why?!" She yelled.
"He's the man I want to kill." Naruko was quiet. She let her hand slip from my arm. Then she ran away, but I could have sworn I heard her say 'Stay alive.'
Naruko's POV
"Stay Alive." I said before running away. I hated this. That Sasuke had to constantly protect me. I ran through the town. The blue man was at my heels. "JIRAIYA! JIRAIYA!" I yelled. The blue man had me by the arm now.
"Not so fast kid. Maybe we should have cut off your legs." He whispered menacingly. His sword inched down I pulled and yanked as the sword came closer.
"Naruko!" A voice yelled, suddenly, Jiraiya came by with a swirling ball of chakra in his hand. He hit the blue man and sent him spiraling backwards. I shook Jiraiya's shirt hurriedly, trying to pull him back. I started rambling. "Ero-kun! It's Sasuke! And these guys! They-"
"I know. Lets go before it gets worse than it is. But stay close to me." Jiraiya said pulling me up onto a summoned frog.
"but..." I said, but the look in his eye told me to agree.
We hopped through the village, everyone had either went inside or moved to the side. "Who are those guys anyway? What's Akutsuki?" I asked hanging onto his back as the frog jerked to the side.
"They're a group of missing nin. They track down Jinchuriki like yourself and take the demons from them."
"What!? But wouldn't that..."
"Kill you? Yes. So stay near me, they;re after you at the moment." Jiraiya said
"Right." I felt so stupid for willingly going with them out of boredom. I was so stupid for opening the door in the first place.
Please don't be dead Sasuke... I prayed as we hurried along. I couldn't wait.
"TRANSFORM!" I yelled I turned into a small fox and hopped off the frog, going a mile a minute.
"NARUKO!" Jiraiya yelled as I sped away. I ran a mile a minute until I saw Sasuke being chocked by that other man. I transformed back into myself and whipped out a kunai.
Sasuke's POV
I was weak and tired. I couldn't stand toe to toe with Itachi, who was pushing me aside with no problems. That other guy had gone to catch Naruko. I felt the ground rumble and was distracted for only a moment. Itachi had me against a wall. I kicked and struggled.
"Your weak." he hissed. "Hate me brother, detest me. That's the only way to be strong." he said before tightening his grip.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE BASTARD!" A loud voice screamed. Naruko was running at Itachi with a kunai. I would've warned her to stay back but I couldn't speak. Itachi released me and appeared in front of Naruko.
"Don't... touch...her." I coughed. Itachi stared into Naruko's eyes and she glared back, ready to attack. "Naruko don't look into his eyes!" I was a second to late. Naruko's eyes got glassy and unfocused, they slid closed and she fell into Itachi's open arms. I wobbled to my feet as Itachi scooped up Naruko.
"Crap..." Naruko muttered before falling into unconsciousness.
"Put her down." I growled. Itachi started walking away. "Give her back!" I coughed. Itachi turned.
"Is this girl yours?" he asked. I glared back. Itachi adjusted Naruko and kept walking.
A frog exploded from a side street. A white haired man glared daggers at Itachi. He jumped down and in a flash attacked Itachi. They fought at a blinding speed. But the whit haired man seemed to have the upper hand. The blue man came back and jumped in to the fight he seemed enraged about something. Itachi and his partner jumped back.
"We can't beat a Sannin." Itachi said. "Let's retreat for now." The blue man hesitantly nodded and the two started a black fire before escaping. The white haired man was holding Naruko now. I walked over to him as balanced as I could.
"Is she okay?" I asked. Naruko was breathing regularly and woke up when conked on the head by the man.
"W-What happened?" Naruko groaned clutching her head. Naruko stood up and looked at me. I smiled. She was safe and unharmed. "Sasuke? Your okay? Where'd those guys go?" she asked. I pulled her into a hug. "S-Sasuke?" she stammered. I just held her tightly. I ran my fingers through one of her pony tails.
"Are you okay?" I had to ask.
"Yeah..." she said. I felt my vision fading.
"Good... I''m glad." I said before my world went black.
