Tayuya immediately activated meteor, aiming a high kick at Sasuke's neck. Her foot swiped at air as Sasuke dodged with ease and with deadly precision, aimed a lightning tipped jab at Tayuya's heart. She dodged deftly, grabbing hold of the Uchiha's arm and bringing her elbow down on his shoulder.
Sasuke winced and punched Tayuya on the side of her abdomen, earning a gasp of air and a knee to the face. Reeling back but still in her clutches, he grabbed a kunai and attempted to stab Tayuya's stomach. All Tayuya did was fling Sasuke into the treetrunk headlong, before transforming into her second state, knowing full well she has to end it here.
Sasuke pulled himself off of the trunk, before witnessing her Chakra levels. With a wide grin, Sasuke entered his second state, surprising Tayuya greatly. She witnessed his wings unfold and his skin darken like the rest of the sound five.
A much more sadistic grin replaced his normal insanity, giving Tayuya the chills. She grit her teeth and launched herself at Sasuke, delivering a mighty blow to his chest, landing her forearm and smashing his ribcage like butter. Sasuke yelled in pain as his body was blown through the tree and flung to the ground.
Instead of flopping down in a heap of blood, his body was kept afloat, surprising them both. Sasuke looked up at his wings in question, before hearing a voice in his head.
"Come now Sasuke-kun.." A sweet voice drawled, " You can do so much better than that." the moment the voice ended, Sasuke looked down at his ribcage to find it healed within seconds.
Tayuya stared in disbelief, as her former masters healing technique just fixed the brat's chest. She shook her head in anger and felt her strength wane slightly, knowing the toll this fight will have on her body.
She felt another sensation that roused her curiosity, looking down at the ground behind her at a conscious Naruto, who was shaking in rage staring at Sasuke.
Tayuya smiled in spite of the situation, and prepared Chakra in her mouth, blowing a shockwave of sound at Sasuke. The Uchiha covered his ears as his skull started shaking from the pressure. Taking advantage of the situation, Naruto climbed the tree Sasuke was floating next to, and tackled him. sending them both to the ground.
Tayuya whipped out her flute and riddled off chains of fantasia, paralyzing Sasuke and Naruto. She hopped down, feeling the rest of her strength wane. She quickly released Naruto's binding, noting he was still shaking with rage. She grabbed his shoulders, before pulling his lips towards her in a tender kiss.
Their lips parted, leaving Naruto feeling calmer than before. Tayuya made a move to turn around, before feeling a sharp pain from behind. She looked down to find a bone protruding from her midsection, stopping short of Naruto, who was white with shock.
Kimmimaro stood behind them, stabbing Tayuya in the back, and blood was spilling from his mouth. His chest was annihilated, somehow retaining it's form due to the bones in his body, and he bore a small grin.
"It's over Tayuya." He spoke with quiet finality, before dropping to the ground, taking Tayuya with him. She curled up in pain, holding in multiple screams, looking up at Naruto, who was already on it, shattering the bone attached her and carrying her away.
He attempted to course Nine tailed Chakra through her, but found he had none left.
"Kurama! I need you here now!" He shouted inside, hoping for a miracle.
"I-I can't form any chakra Naruto!" Kurama shouted in utter confusion.
"Why the fuck not?!" Shot back Naruto, who laid Tayuya down on the ground and ripped open her shirt, exposing the bone stuck in her abdomen. Tayuya winced as Naruto used her shirt as a bandage, holding the bone in place and stopping the blood flow for now. Slightly satisfied, he returned to Kurama.
"Okay, so what the hell is happening with you?" He asked his inner demon.
"I am getting blocked from somewhere, maybe it's her again." Replied Kurama cautiously.
"You mean she can stop you from summoning your own chakra?" Naruto asked in disbelief.
"Of course she can, they both took half my goddamn chakra for themselves." Kurama grumbled.
Fuckers." Naruto muttered aloud to himself.
"You said it Naruto." Tayuya whispered, squeezing his hand.
Naruto gazed down at his red haired beauty, squeezing her hand back, and smiled sadly at her injury. She noticed his pity and grabbed his shirt, headbutting him and earning a gasp.
"Listen here dipshit, you go fuck up Sasuke as you see fit, and come back to me in one piece. The sound ninja are no more, and he should be paralyzed by my genjutsu." Tayuya barked at him without missing a beat.
"I will, thank you for fighting beside me, and i'll be right back." Naruto got up, offering his hand and helping up the redhead, who wheezed a bit from the pain, leaning against another tree trunk.
"We really need some time off after this." Tayuya spoke aloud, looking at Naruto with a certain gleam in her eyes.
"Loud and clear Tayu." Naruto took off towards the broken form of Kimmimaro and the frozen form of Sasuke, who was drooling from the paralysis.
"This has taken far too long to happen to you Sasuke. I will have my revenge on you for killing Sakura and turning the village against me." Naruto squeezed his fist and smashed it across sasuke's face, whipping his head back hard. Sasuke grunted in pain, being unable to defend himself, his head snapping back to position.
Naruto brought his fist back and punched him again, achieving another gasp and his head flying back before settling back into a forward facing position again.
The yellow haired ninja's anger grew and he felt his chakra boil as his hand found a Kunai. Naruto swung the kunai towards Sasuke, burying it into his neck hard, watching the blood splatter all over his arm and hand, as well as Sasuke's neck and ground below them.
Sasuke on the other hand was finally bought out of the genjustsu, holding his neck and struggling to breath. Sasuke looked up at Naruto with tears welling up in his eyes, eyes widening at the ninja standing next to Naruto.
Naruto felt a hand on his shoulder as he stared down pitifully at his dying teammate, noticing Kakashi standing weakly next to him.
Kakashi, who was barely conscious himself, spoke softly to Naruto. "I'm sorry for doubting you, Naruto."
Naruto watched his teammate continue to sputter out incoherent words, said "He really did a number on you huh?"
Kakashi nodded, ripping out the shuriken in his cheek, responding. "Where's Tayuya?"
"She's nursing a near fatal wound to her abdomen, but the blood loss has been brought to a mininum. Can you call for a medical team?" Naruto asked Kakashi.
"Of course. Excuse me." Kakashi stepped away painfully, summoning Pakkun immediately.
Naruto squatted next to Sasuke, who stopped moving awhile ago, before placing his hand on his teammates bloodied neck. His eyes grew wide as Sasuke's skin turned dark brown, and his wounds healed again. Sasuke stepped back up, standing over a dumbstruck Naruto.
Naruto leapt away from Sasuke, who flew at the ninja wildly, whipping his wings around, striking Naruto to the side. Sasuke brought his hands together and blew a fireball at Naruto, who was caught off guard due to exhaustion.
The fireball was immediately extinguished by Kakashi, via water jutsu. Sasuke growled at the Jounin, diving instead at him. Kakashi pressed his hands to the ground and placed a wall of earth between them, as a recovered Naruto fired off wind blades at Sasuke, bringing about multiple cuts to his body. Sasuke yelled loudly in rage, bringing lightning to his hand and stabbing through the earth wall at Kakashi, who had disappeared.
Naruto charged at Sasuke from behind, punching him in the cheek, earning a quick stab in the stomach by lightning tipped fingertips.
Sasuke watched his hand disappear into Naruto satisfyingly, until Naruto scattered into smoke. The Uchiha felt two hands grab his feet and yank him into the ground. Sasuke tried freeing himself but found his body paralyzed. He couldn't move his arms or his legs. Nor could he move his neck to see around him.
Kakashi leapt from the ground and dropped to one knee, covering up his sharingan and exhaling hard.
Naruto stepped out and sighed bitterly.
"As much as it pains me to be nice to you Kakashi, but thanks for the help." Naruto said with immediate disgust.
"It's a start for sure, and I intend to get the full story out of Sasuke here, as soon as we get back to Konoha." Kakashi replied.
"Kakashi-San!" An incoming medic yelled, dropping with two others next to him.
"Excellent. Naruto, lead them to Tayuya, she needs immediate medical attention. Two of you look attend to her, while the last one focuses on Naruto and Tayuya's chakra restoration." Kakashi ordered, looking at Sasuke.
"What about you Kakashi?" Asked one of the medics, surveying his grievous wounds.
"I'll watch over Sasuke here. Hurry along now." Kakashi replied firmly.
Kakashi watched the medics follow Naruto, breathing a sigh of relief. He brought his hands together and released his jutsu. He walked around to face Sasuke, and pressed his finger to the boy's neck.
Sasuke woke with a start, eyes widened at his discovery.
"Who the fuck are you?" Sasuke asked loudly.
The man brought his finger to his lips, and held it other hand out to Sasuke.
"My name is Kabuto, and I just saved your life. Orochimaru has waited long enough to meet you, Sasuke-kun."
