Fighting Sasuke

I ran as fast as I could and found Sasuke at a valley where two statues standing one across the waterfall from the other. I landed on one that I think was the first Hokage as it's head looks like the carving on the mountain. Sasuke was at the other statue about to leave.

"Sasuke!" I shouted.

Sasuke was about to leave at that moment.

"Sasuke, I won't allow you to leave," I shouted.

Sasuke turned to me and I was shock at the sight.

Sasuke had half of his face covered by the curse mark and the eye on the side cover was black and gold with the pupil visible.

"Well, well if it isn't the nine-tail's runt," Sasuke greeted.

Sakura's words ringed in my memory as I stared at Sasuke.

"I told Sakura this, and despite your rank I'll tell you this, leave me alone," Sasuke said.

I clinch my fist remembering everything we went through as a team.

"Has revenge really push you this far?" I asked.

"This is my path and I won't allow anyone get in my way," Sasuke said, "My time with you leaf ninjas are over, so go home."

I thought back to when Shikamaru and I got everyone together. Leaving Choji and Tenten behind who we haven't had word on what happen to them. Shino staying to help Neji who was somewhere else now. Kiba and Akamaru falling off the cliff and Ino going after them. Shikamaru and Hinata to fight the sound Konochi. Leaving Lee and Neji to help Gaara out after Kimimaro died.

"Choji, Tenten, Neji, Shino, Kiba, Ino, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Lee came with me to stop you and we broke up. Even Gaara and his teammates came to help us, so we can get you home," I said.

"That's your problem," Sasuke said.

I jump and landed Sasuke forcing him into the ground and I punched him. Then I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.

"I'm going to Orochimaru by choice," Sasuke said, "Why can't you let me go to do that?"

"He's the one who killed the 3rd Hokage, led the invasion on the leaf that led to many deaths," I responded, "I can't allow you to go to a man for power who would probably want something in return. He wants your body to use as his container and kill you doing so."

"I don't care," Sasuke said, "All I care about is my objective."

"Then I'll stop you," I said.

"Then you'll have to fight me for real ninjutsu and everything," Sasuke said.

Sasuke tried to grab my shirt and I jumped back as he got up.

Sasuke came at me to punch me as I kept jumping back dodging until finally I jumped off the statue onto the water.

The cursed mark for some reason retreated from Sasuke's face as his eye return to normal.

I look up at Sasuke sensing that aura from before has retreated.

Sasuke came at me once more and kicked me.

I slid back unaffected by the kick.

I jumped and hit Sasuke back.

He tried to punch me back but I dodge it once more.

I knew from this moment that I was the only one who can stop Sasuke.

"I decided to kill you," Sasuke said.

I was shock by the very words he said.

"Why are you so surprise? You told Sakura and I once that your friend Kuroda had a friend almost kill him once, it'll be almost the same as us, but I will kill you," Sasuke said.

"He also killed himself in guilt for breaking their friendship," I responded, "Are you really planning to break our friendship for power just to be killed yourself?"

"I told you it doesn't matter," Sasuke said as he activated his sharingan, "Besides I became your friend so I can kill you."

Sasuke jumped at me to attack once more and I came at him.

Sasuke blocked my punch and tried to punch me but I blocked him.

Sasuke moved behind me and threw some shurikans.

I threw mine and the weapons cancel each other out.

Sasuke moved in to kick me but I summon my tail and clean swipe him into the river.

"No excuses, this isn't a normal spar. I will kill you," Sasuke said getting out of the water.

He made some hand signs and form the Chidori.

I had no other choice but formed the Rasengan in my hand as Sasuke ran at me.

We jabbed our attacks at each other and the two collided.

The collision causing an explosion sending water everywhere.

We skidded back into the water.

I look at Sasuke as he was seriously was about to kill me.

Just then Sasuke's curse mark started spreading across his body.

"When two fist of first class ninjas collide they can read each others thoughts," Sasuke said, "Its not just you, but you don't want what happen to Kuroda happen to anyone else if I join Orochimaru, and you don't want me to end up being dead like Takashi."

Sasuke made some handsign and blew multiple small fireballs at me.

I made the hand sign and teleport out of Sasuke's range.

Sasuke moved in close and tried to kick me. I blocked it with my hand and jumped back as Sasuke continue to try.

I took out my tag and placed it on my forehead.

"Bat Transformation Jutsu!" I shouted making the hand sign.

I transformed into a bat and flew off.

I landed after a few feet from Sasuke.

I knew there was nothing I can do to stop Sasuke except fighting him.

I put the scroll in my mouth and made the hand sign.

"Fox Demon Transformation Jutsu!" I shouted and transform into my true form.

As I transform I felt my chakra change as it flow out of my body. I didn't know how to explain it because nothing like this ever happened.

"What are you?" Sasuke asked seeing the chakra with his Sharingan.

"I'm your friend," I growled, "And I'm not willing to loose another friend."

I ran strait toward Sasuke full speed. Despite my chakra my weights didn't seem to be getting heavier.

Sasuke made some hand signs and blew a fireball at me.

I teleported out of the attack range.

I reappeared and tackled Sasuke far and kept tackling him until he hit the cliff and I landed on him.

"You're not going anywhere, I will stop you," I said.

"What do you know about revenge? What do you know what I been through when you had no memory of your father?" Sasuke asked and kicked me away.

"You're right I don't remember much of my father," I answered, "But I hated humans because they were the ones who killed my father at first. I hated them because they saw me as my father cause of it, so I pulled pranks. But when I made friends, that changed."

"Then I'll have to remind you," Sasuke said taking his headband out and tied it over his forehead. As he did that a third tomec appeared in his eyes.

"Fine then we'll fight for real," I said and came at him.

Sasuke saw every movement I made and dodge each one of my attacks.

I send one of my tails to crush him but he teleported away.

"He coppied the teleporting jutsu!" I growled.

He then came at me with a kick and kicked me up in the air.

I quickly teleported away before he could hit me.

I felt more of my chakra change and came at Sasuke and tackled him away once more.

Sasuke tried to blew a fireball at me once more.

I doge it and hit the water with my tail sending a wave that threw Sasuke off.

Then I got close and swipe him away with my tail.

"That felt nothing," Sasuke said as the curse mark started forming level two. His hair turned white and grew longer.

I came at Sasuke full speed but a giant hand formed in the back of his neck and I dodge it. I landed on the cliff on the other side and watch as a second hand grew. I could sense danger right away from it.

I transform back to human form but my chakra remained the same for some reason. Not to mention my fangs were bigger and my finger nails were like claws. I think the cause is my inner demon power had unleashed.

"Let me give you a history lesson," Sasuke said, "This valley is known as a valley of end where the two founders of the leaf once fought. Ironic because this is your end."

Sasuke made some hand signs and formed the Chidori his hand which was different from the curse mark.

I formed the Rasengan in my hand which was super powerful this time.

We jumped at each other and collided our attacks.

A dark sphere surround us from the power of our attacks.

I manage to scratch Sasuke's headband as he hit my shoulder.

I was back to normal as Sasuke was gone. He had use the teleporting jutsu after reverting back to normal and disappear from my sight.

Sasuke's headband was on the ground as I picked it up.

It started raining and his scent disappeared with it.

"Sasuke, you escape this time, but I'll find you," I said.

Next Time: I return back to the leaf to find that Choji and Tenten were the only ones recovering in the hospital recovering from their fight. Of course Tsunade checked my minor injuries. However Jiriaya comes to me and tells me he wants to take me with him with a training trip for the Akatsuki and good news about Sasuke. What will it be like? Read To Find Out...
