"S-Sakura... really? You uh love me?" Naruto looked shocked to say the least. "I have a daughter with Hinata and, well..."
Sakura smiled. "Don't worry, we'll always be friends."
Meanwhile, Kakashi was standing near Killer Bee and Hinata. "It would seem Sakura has fallen in love with Naruto." Kakashi commented to Hinata.
Hinata chuckled. "It's okay, I know I was gone for awhile. I understand how Sakura feels."
Kakashi then noticed someone quickly dashing behind Hinata.
"Don't move, or I will kill you." Sasuke said as he approached behind them and placed the tilt of his blade over Hinata's shoulder.
"HINATA!!!" Naruto screamed out causing everyone to act. Kakashi attempting to hit Sasuke missed and struck Killer Bee instead. Ino attempted to take control over the situation but was held back by Goku and her dad.
"Too risky for you Ino, I'll handle this!" Goku let out as he decides to use the instant transmission to get between Hinata and Sasuke.
Goku quickly appeared behind Sasuke and grabbed the sword away, then kicking him away with the bash of his knee.
Sasuke smirks as he draws another sword out and launches it quickly at Hinata, this time Naruto quickly gets in front of it and is impaled by it on the right shoulder.
"Naruto!!! No!!! Fucking Sasuke! Why! Why do you hate us so much for!" Sakura yelled in anger.
Sasuke smirked. "That was Dabura's sword, it has the power to turn anyone it strikes into stone!"
Naruto gasped as he noticed his belly and shoulders turning into solid rock. "What's happening to me..."
Sasuke chuckled. "Time to retreat for now." Sasuke said as he ran away through the crowds of people at the tournament.
"Vegeta! Go after him!" Goku shouted as he went to help the turning into stone Naruto.
Naruto could feel his whole body turning into clay, "What will happen to me!?" Naruto asked.
Sakura kept crying as she and Hinata held his hands. "We'll find a cure! I won't let Sasuke get away with this!" Sakura yelled.
Goku sighed knowing full well about Dabura's stone spell having seen Krillin and Piccolo turn to stone in his timeline shortly before he came here. "There is only one way this curse can be broken... Sasuke must die."
Before the stones clay reached his eyes, both Hinata and Sakura gave Naruto a kiss goodbye.
"We'll get you back to normal Naruto." Sakura said.
Hinata nodded. "Rest easy my love."
Tsunade then walked over. "Sasuke is being hunted down by Vegeta and Kakashi as we speak. He won't get far. Let's continue the tournament now!"
"You mean my tournament, right?" a certain bio android said as he appeared in the sky above them all.
"No... It's Cell!" Goku said as he knew this battle would be hard.
Cell smiled. "So Son Goku, shall we start my new Cell games! Anyone who has the guts come up and fight me!" Cell yelled at everyone.
Gohan smirked. "I'll face Cell."
"No brother! He's too strong, even more then the Androids!" Trunks said.
Gohan smirked. "I trained with King Kai remember? I can beat him, trust me brother." Gohan said as he approached Cell.
Cell smirked. "Ahh... you I don't know! Are you Son Gohan? If so, it shall be my pleasure to kill you!"
"No Cell, I'm the one who's gonna kill you!" Gohan yelled as he turned into a Super Saiyan 1.
Goku looked scared for his son. "No, that power won't be enough! Son you must let it all out! Your true power! Super Saiyan 2." Goku said.
Gohan smirked. "I always knew there was a level beyond Super Saiyan. Sorry to disappoint you all, but I have something similar! Kaio-Ken!" Gohan shouted as he powered up.
Goku smiled. "That could work too. I remember using that technique against Pikon, and he was much stronger than Cell. Go get him son!"
"Yeah, you can do it bro!" Trunks cheered out.
Meanwhile, Towa and Itachi were watching them all nearby. "Have you used the Sharigan to copy the Kaio-Ken technique?" Towa asked.
Itachi nodded. "I have his power now, I won't fail you my queen." Itach said as he kissed the soles of her feet.
Towa smiled. "After the fight with Cell, make your move and kill Son Gohan and his family."
Itachi smiled. "With the power you've given me and all the training I did with Dabura and my younger brother, I will surely not fail you this time."
To be continued.
