Slamming his good hand against the nearest wall, Sasuke activated his Sharingan and threw a kunai in the air, severing a solitary rope above him. Concequently, he was bombarded with exploding tags, kunai and shuriken...more than he had ever dealt with before. It was difficult for him to avoid them all, and his skin paid the price as the surfaces of his arms and legs were shredded. It had been exactly the same result in the first training test he had done when he was small, but he had managed after just three tries to avoid every single one.

This is what he would need to do again, stepping up the difficulty every time. Blood dripped to the floor as Sasuke surveyed the damage, it was only light cuts, but the plaster Kabuto had only just applied to his broken arm would need redoing.

"Kabuto! C'mere" he breathed as he relesed his Sharingan and sat down. Kabuto padded over and looked at Sasuke with a childish amusement.

"What? Did you get mauled?" he laughed as he brought out more plaster and cut the old cast from the grimacing Uchiha. He was ignored as Sasuke averted his eyes, unwilling to talk from spite. As soon as Kabuto was done, Sasuke strode off back into the compound, his eyes glinting in the dark.

Cold...It was all Naruto could feel as he regained conciousness, and it bit at his skin as he attempted to push himself up from the floor. He became vaguely aware of a pain in his neck and upper back which grew into a blinding agony as he tried to stand from his crouching position.

Crumpling into a ball, tears spilled down his cheeks as he realised that it was highly likely that the muscles in his neck had been shredded to pieces. His cry of pain wasn't unheard. Kabuto padded into the room with several medical supplies.

"Hehe...woke up did we" he taunted as he surveyed the shinobi before him. "Well, can't say I didn't see this coming, Sasuke did have to use considerable force to remove your fangs from his arm" He smiled as he saw Naruto's face fall.

"What did I do...?" Naruto questioned, grimacing as he felt his muscles knit together with the help of Kabuto. Sitting upright, Naruto stretched his neck and sat staring at Kabuto, his eyes unwavering.

"Well...basicly, you were helping Sasuke discover what it feels like to be lower in the food chain than someone else" Kabuto said simply, crushing a passing ant for dramatic effect. Naruto sat still, frozen with shock. He had just heard the most disturbing information he ever had, and it was he who had committed the act.

"See ya around demon-child" Kabuto laughed venomously as he unlocked the padlock on Naruto's chains and left the room. Rubbing his wrists where the shackles had scraped them raw, Naruto stood up and headed for the spring. He needed a bath now more than ever, even if only to wash the imaginary feel of Sasuke's blood from his skin.

Sinking into the freezing water, Naruto felt his hair stand on end. His skin felt like it was on fire with the cold, but he gritted his teeth and sunk below the surface, shaking his hair out in front of him. Suddenly standing up, he shook himself partially dry and, wrapping a towel around himself, walked towards Sasuke's room. Sasuke heard his footsteps quite a while before they actually stopped outside his door, but lay still, as though he was completely unaware. His arm throbbed unconfortably and he shifted his position just as Naruto walked into the room.

"Sasuke..." he whispered in a soft, submissive voice that played sweetly to Sasuke's sadistic fury at being humiliatingly beaten by the shinobi before him, who hadn't even had to use jutsu to break his arm.

"Naruto." Sasuke answered curtly, barely acknowledging Naruto at all. Naruto crept closer to him, if there was a time to be obedient, submissive and pleading to get his own way...it was now.

"Im r-really sorry...Sasuke. I-Im so-sor-sorry" he sobbed, tears filled with the forced exit of every single regret, pain and broken bond he had held back through the years spilling down his flushed cheeks. Sasuke melted slightly as he looked at Naruto on the floor, curled up in the corner crying pitifully.

"Naruto" Sasuke murmured as he stood up and padded over to the whimpering blond. Naruto tensed his body, the threat of being hit imminent, but instead of a fist, something soft landed on his head. "You're getting water all over the floor" Sasuke grinned as he began to dry Naruto's ears and fur, although he chose to let the jinchuriki dry his own tails, else there'd be more than water to clean up later.

When he was dry, Sasuke stood up and padded back over to his bed, lay down and left Naruto sitting in just a towel, all alone. This Naruto expected, but instead of returning to his own room, removing the now soaked towel from around his waist, he proceded to curl up at the bottom of Sasuke's bed. Wrapping his tails around himself, he settled down, rather comfortable.

A few minutes passed before Sasuke suddenly stood up and left the room. Naruto was confused and just stayed still, but his confusion was amplified when Sasuke came back with a long shirt and baggy pants which he proceded to throw at the blond at the foot of his bed. "Here" he said before turning round so Naruto could change.

Still confused, Naruto did as he was told. "Good boy" Sasuke said, ruffling Naruto's hair softly, a hint of patronising sarcasm in his voice as he went back to sleep. Naruto just stood where he was, looking at the back of Sasuke's head with a strange expression on his face. Sasuke sighed heavily.

"Naruto..." He motioned for him to step closer. As soon as Naruto was close enough, Sasuke grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him down so he was lying across the bottom of the bed at Sasuke's feet.

"Stay" he growled as he pulled some of the duvet over the blond shinobi. Naruto smiled as he closed his eyes, Sasuke was still kind...in his own way.

Hinata was positively fuming by the time she got to the split up point, and in her fury, set off every single flare she could find.

"Wait here, and if Kakashi shows up...you find me!" she growled as she raced off again, leaving Lee behind in the dust.

"Hinata-san..." he sighed.

"Kakashi...you shouldn't start a fight if you aren't ready to see your own blood" Hinata muttered venomously under her breath as she followed the scent of Sakura's perfume.

"You aren't gonna trick me this time. Byakugan" Hinata scanned the surrounding area, discovering the pair just minutes ahead of her. "Gotcha" she smiled to herself as her fangs glinted in the moonlight. Speeding up, she stormed forward.

"Crap, she's following us!" Kasashi cursed as a shadow clone saw her pass.

"Which is bad...right?" Sakura whispered. Kakashi sped up.

"That's really bad, we're on the right track, which means that now she is, which means that she has a chance of finding the hideout with Naruto in first!"

"Which means..."

"That she'll go berserk if Naruto's hurt, and knowing how Orochimaru is, thats almost definite!"

Finally catching up to the two shinobi, Hinata roared her entrance, landing heavily upon the ground just meters in front of Kakashi and Sakura. "KA-KA-SHIIII" Her voice sounded like thunder as she dug her claws into the soft earth, pulling lumps out of the ground in an attempt to control herself. Blood drained from Sakura's face as she looked into the eyes of the devil before her, Hinata's silver hair and bared fangs catching the moonlight, giving her an eerie glow that made her sillhouette terrifying.

"Hinata" Kakashi said softly. Sakura looked at him, and was surprised that he didn't even look fazed by the rabid girl in front of them. "Please calm down" he pleaded, his voice wavering slightly with uncertainty as he uncovered his left eye, activating his Sharingan. Hinata could attack them at any moment and even with his Sharingan activated, with her lightning movements it would be almost impossible to avoid a flash attack like hers in the dense forest.

"Trick me will you? Don't trust me do you? I should have told you this before we started..." Hinata shifted her weight, "Don't screw with me if you don't want to see your own BLOOD" Launching heself at the unmasked jounin, Hinata flipped herself so she landed behind him. "Seems you needed to be told after all" she said coldly and stiffening her tails, buried the now steel like needles of hair into his back.

Tears filled Sakura's eyes as she screamed inside at the sight before her. Fear had frozen her body and she stood paralyzed as she watched the devils claws rake away flesh from the body it held aloft. The soft experssion on Kakashi's face faded as Hinata wrenched her tails from his body and he fell to the floor. The silver haired jinchuriki stared at the injured man before her, then, turning her head, looked straight at Sakura who flinched with her eye contact.

"Sakura, he isn't dead yet. This is just another scar for a man who lives as a shinobi. I used to fool myself with promises and vows to protect and save, but really, I'm just continuing to throw myself into constant danger like those who have died before me under the pretence of their 'Nindo' their ninja way." Hinata's eyes flamed as she clenched her fists, her still bloody claws piercing the skin of her palms. "Im a completely different person, and it is justified that I should have a new Nindo. To live solely for him...That is my road to follow" Her expression softened as she walked toward the frozen kunoichi. Leaning towards her, Hinata whispered in Sakura's ear. "If you intend to follow yours, move your feet and help stop the man in front of you from bleeding to death"

The words echoed in Sakura's ear as the jinchuriki disappeared from sight, and slowly, one foot in front of the other, she walked over to Kakashi's side. Kneeling down and readying her hands with chakra, tears spilled down her cheeks as she looked at the wasted body before her eyes. A small moan of pain was uttered from his lips as she knitted bone and muscle back together with all the strength she had.

"You were right, Kakashi-sensei, she did go berserk, but it was your mistake to underestimate love"

The sound of footsteps woke Naruto from his sleep. Groggily, he stood up and stretched, leaning against the wall for support. Vaguely aware that he wasn't in his own room, Naruto groped around for the door handle and finally reaching it, pulled the door open to meet the vast corridor of the hideout. Unfortunately, he walked straight into Kabuto who happened to be carrying a large box, filled with varius items. The box of course, went flying and Naruto sat down with a bump, still sleepy.

"Watch where you're goi-" Kabuto cut himself off as he saw Naruto sitting on the floor, a soft sleepy expression on his face. Crouching down, Kabuto took a sole item , a syringe, from the now abandoned box and leant towards Naruto. After a few seconds, Kabuto stood up and walked away...with a slight grin on his face. Confused and unfazed, Naruto stood up and yawning, followed his nose to the nearby spring and sinking into the icy water, proceded to dip below the surface and blow bubbles childishly. Now fully awake, Naruto dressed and left the spring, heading instead to the entrance of the hideout. He already knew his collar had certain locating seals on it, so running was pointless, but he wanted to stretch his legs.

Being cooped up was making him set off at a sprint, pushing himself as fast as he could go. Trees raced by as he shot past them, the novelty of his new found speed spurring him on to greater lengths. Coming up to a ravine, Naruto pushed off from the last available branch and leapt into the air. The wind on his fur bit at him coldly but he couldnt ignore the freedom he gained from being so close to the sky. He felt he could fly.

Sasuke noticed immediately that Naruto was missing, and making the hand seals that would activate the locator on his collar, set off from the compound's entrance after him. Hinata too felt the change in her lover's position, his scent carried on the wind. She immediately followed it as fast as she could, her hands leaving prints in the tree bark with their force. Naruto could smell Sasuke's scent behind him, and knew he was being followed. Slowing down, he allowed time for the Uchiha to catch up to him, then set off again at normal running speed.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled as he finally reached Naruto's side, "You know you aren't to run" Naruto grinned.

"I'm not running away, I'm just taking a break. You haven't lived until you can fly!" Naruto shot off faster than Sasuke's eyes could follow, and leapt up into the sky again, this time as far as he could go. As Sasuke watched him, a slight jelousy crept into the back of his head. Naruto really was flying...so much higher than Sasuke could. Sasuke contemplated this revelation as Naruto returned, having landed.

"Run with me!" Naruto asked playfuly, his tails wagging franticly with excitement. The two set off at a run, Naruto bounding easily by Sasuke's side. This behaviour lasted for a few minutes until, for seemingly no reason at all, Naruto stopped dead in his tracks. Sasuke stood a few steps ahead, watching the jinchuriki sniff the air in a frenzy.

Naruto's ears flattened as he felt a presence other than Sasuke's closing in fast. His fur bristled as he tasted the air, but this smell was familiar...like something he'd forgotten. The presence burst through the trees and skidded to a halt. Surrounded by a cloud of dust, a small girl with silver hair stood on the floor below him and Sasuke.

Spotting the tails and fangs, Naruto immediately knew that it was a jinchuriki like him. Assuming an offencive pose, Naruto bared his fangs and a deep growl rumbled in his throat. Hinata watched Naruto bare his fangs at her. Was he completely stupid? He'd forgotten her within the space of 5 days?

"Naruto! It's me, Hinata. It's ok, I've come to take you back!" She shouted to the now snarling Naruto. She was confused and frightened, Naruto was acting as though she was a complete stranger, someone who couldn't be trusted.

Sasuke, who'd been watching the events unfold immediately knew why. He'd instructed Kabuto to construct a serum, one that would erase every memory of before he came to the compound. This way, Naruto's loyalty would be to him, and Konohagakure and it's people would lie forgotten at the back of his head.

"Naruto, this girl would kill me if given the chance, let me see your loyalty" Sasuke said calmly as he walked towards him and removed the metal collar that constricted his chakra flow. Naruto immediately flew towards Hinata, swiping at her furiously. Hinata had to scrabble desperately just to avoid being caught by his claws as she tried to regain her balance. Hinata realised it was either fight or be killed at this point, Naruto wasn't himself and would kill her without blinking.

"Kura! K-Kuuraaa" Hinata sobbed as she fled to he inner self and banged on the gated of the Gobi's cage. "I need your power, I don't know what else to do!"

"Hinata-chan...I know what you need and I'll give it to you without question, but even with this power, you'll be hard pressed to even wound him when he's like this. Flee, save him another day. You won't do him any good dead and you know it. Even I can't help him now, Miki isn't responding to me, he's somehow bending her to his will on his own. As he is, that child could kill almost any shinobi on this earth and still not be satisfied."

Hinata felt herself coursing with Kura's power as lilac chakra coursed through her veins and covered her skin. Rushing Naruto in a ditch attempt, she found herself yanked backwards as he leapt over her and caught ahold of her tails. Flipping her above his head, Naruto slammed Hinata into the ground with all the force he had. Hinata felt her arm break but adrenaline kept the pain at bay. Fear crept into her head and Hinata fled the scene, tears blooming in her eyes as she turned her back on him.
