"Tailed Beast/Inner thinking"

Hello again, I have already written this story on word and am just posting it online. I am also studying for my Monday Test. So, expect at least a hour to two's gap after this.

At the Bridge

'This is odd' thought Sakura ' Sasuke-kun is here as normal while Kakashi-sensei isn't. But what isn't normal is that Naruto isn't here. Usually, at this time he is already here arguing with Sasuke-kun. Maybe I should ask Sasuke-kun if he has seen Naruto.' Thinking this she went up to the Uchiha prodigy and said a polite "Good Morning Sasuke-kun." Her only reply was a "Hn".

"Have you seen Naruto by any chance?" asked Sakura. "No, I haven't. Usually Naruto is as punctual as a clock. Well, we can just ask the dobe once he gets here." said Sasuke with a stoic expression and a monotone voice but deep down he was afraid something bad had happened to his brother/best friend/rival.

Suddenly a crowd appeared celebrating and rejoicing. 'Well, that was strange.' thought the two genin. 1 hour later 'Naruto isn't here yet and Kakashi-sensei hasn't arrive either' thought a now worried Sakura. ' I hope the dobe didn't get hurt' thought an equally worried Sasuke.

Suddenly in a poof of smoke Kakashi appeared. "Hello everyone" said Kakashi. "You're late!" yelled Sakura. "Ah, yes I just got lost on….." "Liar!" interrupted Sakura. Kakashi just sighed and looked around. That was when he noticed.

"Wait, where is Naruto?" asked Kakashi. "Don't know" said Sasuke "Plus, about an hour ago a group of people passed from here appearing very happy about something." "You know" said Sakura suddenly " I think I heard some of them saying something about putting the fox in his place or something." Hearing this Kakashi suddenly looked like he was having a full blown panic attack. 'Oh no! Nononono! Oh Kami, please have mercy' thought a now thoroughly panicked Kakashi.

"Quick Sakura, which way did they come from?!" asked Kakashi. "Uh, that way" said Sakura pointing toward the direction the people had come from. And as soon as she said that Kakashi ran towards the direction she pointed 36 towards. Sasuke and Sakura followed quickly. "Sensei, what's wrong?" asked a now thoroughly alarmed Sasuke.

Kakashi said nothing and continued running. They were nearing the road which they always saw Naruto take when he was heading home or coming to training or missions. Kakashi stopped and started scanning the road for a certain blonde student of his. "Sensei, please tell us what is wrong" begged Sakura as she felt herself nearing to tears.

Suddenly they all heard a whimper. All of their heads snapped towards their right where at a short distance lay Naruto. Sasuke's eyes were as wide as saucers as he observed his best friend. His once bright golden colored blonde hair were now dyed red with his blood. Cuts, wound, bruises and stabs littered his body. His clothes were torn at some places. He looked more closer to death than any one of them would have liked.

"Naruto!" yelled Kakashi. He ran to his student's side to inspect his wounds. Most of them were directed towards his face, torso and stomach and most of them looked serious. His other two students moved beside him to see their teammate more closely. To say that they were sad and angry would be an huge understatement. Sakura looked like she was at her breaking point while Sasuke looked like he was about to murder somebody.

"Kakashi?" said a familiar voice. They all turned around to find Kurenai, the jounin leader of Team 8, along with her team, Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba along with his pet dog and partner Akamaru and Aburame Shino. Just then Hinata gasped. Shino and Kiba both looked at the girl they considered as their younger sister.

"What's wrong Hinata?" asked Kurenai. "N.N..Naruto-kun!" yelled Hinata. Kurenai's eyes snapped from the girl back to Kakashi finally registering the bloody boy in his arms. Kurenai and the rest of Team 8 gasped at the condition Naruto was in. "What the hell happened to him Kakashi?!" asked Kurenai. "Well, we don't know much but…." Kakashi hurriedly told her and Team 8 about whatever little information they had.

"We need to take him to the hospital!" yelled Kiba. Shino and Sasuke nodded. "That's right but first…Sakura, Hinata" the two addressed looked up "Go to the Hokage and tell her everything that happened and tell her to come to the hospital ASAP." The two nodded to Kakashi and took off towards the Hokage Tower. "Kurenai, Kiba, Sasuke and Shino" The four looked up "Clear our path and make sure no one stops us. And if we meet any of the other genin teams or any other people Naruto is close to than one of you" he said while gesturing to the genin "can stop and tell them what happened and catch up with us later, understood?" When he got nods from each one of them he said "Then let's go" saying this they took off towards the hospital.

So what do you all think? Please be honest and send me a review will ya. I am going to start working on editing chapter 3 and posting it. Oh and also expect it to be there in 20-30 minutes from now.
