Tayuya continued to stare at the Uzumaki, processing all she had heard.
I mean the fuckhead has some trauma, obviously. He wouldn't have been so strong otherwise.' She thought with a frown.
Naruto watched her carefully, remaining silent.
"Naruto, that is a lot of shit to go through at such a young age." Tayuya began slowly, beautiful brown eyes drilling into his. " But that doesn't explain why you want to kill the emo kid, or why he isn't dead at this moment, because it seemed he was alive and well until my teammates paid him a visit."
Naruto looked at her indifferently, a small frown upon his face. "Why I want to kill him is a long story, but why I can't kill him yet is easy. He was under protection from the Third Hokage and the other elders. But now that he has been abducted, plenty of things can happen to him on the outside."
Tayuya felt a small chill run up her spine and smiled at Naruto. "So that's why you didn't intervene when my teammates took Sasuke away. But why have they protected him? And from what?"
Nodding, Naruto closing his eyes deep in thought. After a moment, he looked towards his red haired audience with a battle hardened gaze the first Hokage would be proud of.
"Because he is the last Uchiha in konoha, Sasuke was allowed to do anything he wanted. The elders both sympathized with his whole clan being massacred and wanted to be on his good side. And up until a month and a half ago, he was actually a good guy." Naruto spoke with venom in his voice. "He appeared cold at first, wanting to be alone. He thought teammates were only holding him back. And up until we went on our first C rank mission, teamwork was basically nonexistent."
Tayuya spoke up, "So it was just you and him on a team together? I heard konoha uses teams of three and a commander."
Naruto barely but still visibly flinched at her words, closing his eyes again. "That's right, we had a third teammate, and a 'commander.'" In a heavy tone suggesting sarcasm.
As if seeing the obvious elephant in the room, Tayuya decided to drag it out into the open. "So who was and what happened to your other teammate? And who was your commander?"
"Our commander was Hatake Kakashi, and our last teammate was Haruno Sakura." Naruto stated matter of factly.
Tayuya hesitated, deciding to tread lightly on this subject. "Can you tell me what this Sasuke kid did to deserve death?"
Naruto stared at her for a few minutes, shrugging, he began his story.
Chunin Exams, Day Two, Forest of Death
Team Seven (minus Kakashi) sat under a big tree, designating a specific code to make sure no one would try to be an imposter among them.
"Okay so that's the code, Sasuke?" Sakura asked brightly, already fawning over her Uchiha crush.
"Yes, make sure to repeat it back word for word or we will know you are an imposter." This was more directed at Naruto.
"Whatever Sasuke, I'm off to take a piss, be right back." Naruto replied, rolling his eyes and dodging a rock thrown by Sakura.
"Do you honestly think he's going to remember it all? " Sakura asked worriedly.
"Obviously not, but anyone who is paying attention will be able to recite it perfectly." Sasuke stated confidently.
Naruto's POV
After relieving himself, Naruto was walking back towards the team when he heard a familiar hissing from behind him. Shuddering both out of fear and rage, Naruto turned around to see a giant snake. Twenty feet long with a head three times the size of Naruto, it rose up to hiss at the growing genin.
Naruto, Chakra both physically and mentally boiling, he charged at the serpent with no hesitation, giving off a tremendous roar.
Team Seven's POV
Sasuke and Sakura were already on high alert. A fake Naruto, who recited the long code word for word, attacked Sasuke by throwing a couple Kunai.
"Who the hell are you?!" Sasuke challenged the fake Naruto, jumping up to avoid the kunai.
"Oh Sasuke-Kun, we have so much catching up to do." Drawled the unknown man, who dispelled the transformation to reveal a tall, black haired snake like face.
"What do you want with Sasuke-kun?!" Sakura demanded the unknown man, throwing a shurikan as if she was going to do anything.
"You are an unnecessary presence girl, begone." The man said throwing down a summoning circle, conjuring up another giant snake.
Sakura shook with fear, jumping away as the snake chased her, crashing into trees and breaking branches.
Sasuke watched this happen before noticing the snake man was gone. Leaping away, he dodged multiple small snakes and landed on a higher tree branch.
Looking down upon the man wrapped around the tree he was next to. Sasuke asked "Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Orochimaru, and I want your Body" He layered on a sweet tone that suggested lust.
Sasuke flinched, disgusted and got ready for a fight. Orochimaru leaped up at him but before either of them could fight a large roar split the air.
An orange blur tackled Orochimaru, enveloping the snake and slamming him into a tree.
Orochimaru screamed in pain, before looking down at the demon who once again is assaulting him.
The brat was covered in purple blood, his eyes blood red and chakra was dark orange. That. very same Chakra assaulted Orochimaru in every sense or the word.
He felt as if his skin was melting, but also being stabbed with multiple daggers that were also burning. The snake felt suffocated, as if the hands which crushed his midsection were wrapped around his throat. Or was it his lungs? Either way, it did not bode well for the snake to stay in this situation for long.
Coughing up blood, Orochimaru delivered a wicked elbow to the brats skull, dropping him to the ground. Orochimaru then rocketed himself towards Sasuke, stretching out his neck and bit the Uchiha on the neck, releasing some of his chakra into the child's body. Sasuke immediately dropped face first onto the tree branch, groaning in pain.
"If you survive this Sasuke, you will be granted immense power. You will be stronger than anything you can become here in Konoha. Have fun Sasuke-Kun." Orochimaru drawled in his sickly sweet tone, grimacing at the pain he felt as the chakra that had been attacking him subsided.
Hearing a familiar growl, he looked down to see a flying Naruto smash the branch below his feet and grab one if his ankles with a chakra hand. Orochimaru yelled as the chakra wrapped around his foot and literally squished it from the pressure.
Having enough of this, the snake used some of the ample blood he was spewing to summon Manda.
Naruto roared at the giant snake, smiling maniacally as a fourth tail began to form.
"Sasuke-Kun help!!" Sakura yelled, still being chased by a giant snake, before both Sakura and the snake she was being chased by was overcome by the menacing chakra. She couldn't stop shaking at the feeling while the snake ran away.
Orochimaru glared at the fox incruendously. "You can reach up the four tails already?! This is bullshit!" He yelled at no one in particular.
Sakura noticed a unconscious but steaming Sasuke and struggled to climb her way up to the broken branch he was on. Riding wave after wave of nausea, she grabbed Sasuke and fled to safety, not caring about whether or not Naruto was actually safe.
Manda, looking down at the demon fox, spoke to his summoner. "What the hell is that Orochimaru and why did you summon me and not the others." He hissed, not taking his eyes off of Naruto.
"That is a Jinchuriki, Manda and I summoned you because currently out of all of you, you are the only one who can stall him. He already slaughtered one, and made a similar snake flee."
"Stall him? Hah and why would I only be able to stall him? Have you forgotten how strong I actually am?" Manda sneered at his master.
Growing impatient, the dark red fox released a forest shaking roar that made both Gaara of the Desert shudder in fear, Hiruzen Sarutobi get up in alarm and the whole forest of death silent with fear.
Manda hissed at the uptick in chakra and whipped his giant tail at Naruto, slamming it into the fox and sending it flying into the trees. Naruto came barreling out of the debris and curled a chakra fist,
punching the snake hard and at the same time attacking it with a small amount of lethal chakra.
Hissing madly, Manda spat a huge glob of venom at the fox, missing by mere feet due to the chakra attacking his senses. Bringing down his tail again, Manda smashed the fox into the ground hard, using his middle to absolutely demolish the ground beneath him, creating a shockwave that leveled the trees around him.
Orochimaru watched from atop of Manda, satisfied at the destruction, but worried at the audience they will soon have. Feeling the snake shudder hard, he heard his snake hiss loud as the whole bottom half of the serpent seemingly exploded in a burst of blood.
Naruto, after getting slammed into the ground, grew tired of the big snake and charged up a miniscule bijudama and fired it point blank into the snakes underbelly.
Orochimaru watched in almost a sense of awe as blood rained down upon the demon fox. The sanin leaped to the ground and landed on one foot and a stub, weighing his options carefully.
The bloodied half of Manda stared lifelessly at Orochimaru, who spared no outward sympathy for his fallen pet. His attention was fixed on the demon brat in front of him. Then he noticed a familiar uptick in chakra and simply waited, smiling.
With Sakura
Haruno Sakura was trying her best to cool down a steaming Sasuke, rampant with fever and groaning in pain. The kunoichi teared up at her uselessness and reached for another wet towel for the Uchiha. She didn't notice the spreading black marks on him, nor did she see his eyes snap open until her arm was grabbed.
"Sa-Sasuke?!" She stammered at the dark feeling she was getting from him, wincing at the iron grip he had on her wrist.
"What are you doing?" asked a cold voice unrecognizable to her.
"I was trying to cool you down Sasuke-Kun.." replied a stunned Sakura.
"LIAR!" Roared an enraged Sasuke, before snapping her wrist like a twig.
She didn't feel the pain for a moment, just watching her wrist flop uselessly to the side, bone shattered apart.
Screaming, she held her arm backing away against a tree trunk. Crying, she watched the dark form of Sasuke get up and walk towards her.
"Sasuke-Kun... why?!" She cried out to the unfeeling Uchiha.
"You were planning on killing me too weren't you.. just like him.. just like Itachi.. I won't let you!" He yelled with a charge towards the Kunoichi.
Sakura ran with all her might past the trees, into a clearing with fallen logs and freshly upturned earth. She spotted the man who attacked them, she also spotted a fox who watched her with curiosity.
She didn't care at this point, so she kept running. Running on the right of the demon fox, she looked behind her to see Sasuke burst into the opening.
Naruto's POVHe remembered the snakes, all of them, and he wanted to kill every last one. His inner demons agreed, so they came to an agreement. Murder them all. Don't target the pink haired girl. Anyone who attacks is an enemy.
Naruto watched Sakura running away from Sasuke as he chased her down. He noticed the way she was crying and the way her wrist was snapped. He also noticed the dark chakra that resembled the snakes and put two and two together. Or so he thought.
Sasuke, hellbent on killing Sakura, noticed a blood red blur dive in between himself and the girl. Snarling, he attempted to kick Naruto out of the way but instead was swatted away like a fly, crashing into the ground.
Kurama, inside of Naruto, laughed like hell, before getting serious and spoke to his host.'It seems like that brat has some of the snakes Chakra and it's going berserk kinda like ours except we didn't have to fuck you first for you to get it.'
Naruto shuddered before watching his body again, hiding a smile.
Sasuke got back up, staring at Naruto before coming at him again, sharingan active. The fox swiped at Sasuke again, this time dodging and brutally kicking Naruto in the head, sending him backwards.
Naruto's tails started to disappear and control being sent back to the Jinchuriki. Naruto blinked and asked his partner 'What just happened Kurama?'
The fox spoke up, 'We haven't done many transformations so with the damage you took and the time spent in four tails mode spent the chakra we were using. Be careful out there partner.
Naruto sighed and got up, making five shadow clones and preparing to fight.
Orochimaru sensed multiple chakras descending on
the location and decided to flee, his mission complete.
Sasuke, wrapped in darkness, charged at Naruto, chakra on fire, and targeted the clones with a massive fireball. All but one were immediately extinguished and the same one attempted to punch Sasuke.
Sasuke kicked this clone in the neck making it disappear, before dodging a roundhouse kick from Naruto. Punching the genin in the thigh, he tackled Naruto to the ground and grabbed a kunai, preparing to stab his teammate in the neck.
Naruto, drained of any chakra due to the last clones he made, struggled fruitlessly against the uchihas assault.
Sakura who noticed a lack of Sasuke trying to kill her ran back and witnessed her crush attempt to murder Naruto.
'I don't hate him, sure he can be annoying but he doesn't deserve to die either.'
So she did the most useful thing in her life, and delivered a heavy blow to Sasuke with a kick to the ear, shocking and stunning the Uchiha momentarily.
Helping up Naruto with only one arm, they ran as fast as possible past the giant dead snake into the thicket of woods.
Sasuke got back up, roaring and charging after them.
Looking back behind them, Naruto used the last of his chakra to gather wind in his mouth and shot out blades of air at the spot he thought Sasuke was at, chopping down the trees and destroying the area.
Sakura was practically dragging Naruto at this point, panting frantically and searching for an exit or help.
"Come on dumbass stay with me." She spoke firmly the Uzumaki limping with her.
"Thank you sakur-" Naruto weakly started to speak before getting punched in the gut from the front, rolling away limply.
"Naruto-" Sakura said before a hand wrapped around her throat, squeezing violently and lifting her to the sky.
Choking, Sakura struggled frantically while Sasuke smiled cruelly at her. He increased his grip while noticing a very weak Naruto crawling towards them.
Naruto watched helplessly as his former teammate choked the life out of his other teammate and crush. Growling in frustration and crawling a bit faster, he struggled hard until one sound changed his life forever.
One turn of the wrist
One crying out in spite
Naruto's world collapsed in black
While Sakura's Life collapsed in white
