Chapter Two: New Goals

What had
happened the day after Naruto left the village...

Tsunade looked at
the young ninja standing in front of her. “I need the three of
you to go find that idiot, Naruto, and bring him back to the village
as soon as possible.”

“So troublesome.” Shikamaru
frowned and then looked the Hokage in the eye. “And where do we
look?” 'I sure hope this mission doesn't take too long. I was
supposed to have dinner with Temari tonight and now she's going to be
pissed.' The lazy ninja sighed. 'So troublesome. I hope she doesn't
beat me up too bad.'

The blonde Hokage
grimaced in vexation. “I really have no idea where the brat
went.”

Sakura looked at
her mentor, stunned. “Why would he leave the village without
telling anyone? It's too dangerous for him to be out there alone!”

“The brat tricked me! When I get
my hands on him, I'm going to beat him till he can't walk for a
week!”

Sai smiled at the
very angry-looking Hokage. “I could do that for you. But I have
my own way of making sure he can't walk for a week.”

Tsunade, Sakura
and even Shikamaru stared at the strange, dark-haired ninja.
Tsunade's and Sakura's expressions were shocked, but Shikamaru's was
disgusted. He disliked Sai, even though Naruto and Sakura seemed to
trust him. Not only did he not trust the Sasuke look-alike, he
thought the boy was a pervert. 'Always having to show off his body
with those clothes he wears. He's like the male version of Ino. I
wish he wasn't coming along on this mission. So troublesome.'

Tsunade cleared
her throat and spoke again. “Well, that brat is supposed to be
looking for Jiraiya, presumably, but I have a feeling that he's
looking for Sasuke instead. I hope he's still in Fire Country and
hasn't gone too far away from this village. The important thing
though, is for the three of you to find him as quickly as possible
and get him back to this village. We can't let the Akatsuki capture
him. Even if I'm pissed at him right now, I don't want the brat to
die.” She paused as a feeling of fear came over her. 'He better
still be alive. I can't lose another person that's precious to me.'
“Shikamaru, you are the team leader. Sai's skill with creating
his ink creatures, should come in handy for tracking the brat.
Kakashi will be joining all of you as soon as he gets back from his
current mission. He's due back later today, but I don't want you to
wait for him. I need you to start your mission now. Dismissed!”

Sakura, Shikamaru
and Sai left the office. Shikamaru turned to the others. “Get
whatever gear and supplies you will need and meet me at the front
gate in thirty minutes.” Sakura and Sai nodded their heads in
agreement and all three left the Hokage tower and went their own way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now back to
current time...

Naruto took the robe from Sasuke and put it on. He still felt very
tired, but he knew that Sasuke wouldn't let him rest until after he
had told him everything. He gave a small smile to his dark-haired
friend. “Can we go get something to eat first? I'll tell you
everything then. You wouldn't happen to have any ramen here, would
you?”

Sasuke blinked at the request, then gave an exasperated sigh. “Fine,
dobe. We'll see what's in the kitchen.” He turned and led the
way out of the bathroom. He no longer felt that Naruto would try to
attack him and he was in a hurry to get the blond fed so that he
could get his answers.

Naruto followed Sasuke down the hallway. When they got to the
kitchen, Naruto sat down at a table that was in the center of the
room. He propped his head up with a fist and watched as Sasuke
searched through the cabinets, looking for instant ramen.

“Looks like you are in luck,
dobe. There are some cups here. Only pork though.” Sasuke set
about making Naruto his dinner.

Naruto slowly let his head fall onto the table and started to drift
off in sleep. He awoke to a sharp pain in his head and jerked his
head up off the table. He glared at Sasuke. “Why'd you have to
hit me so hard, bastard?”

Sasuke smirked at the blond boy. “Eat your ramen, dobe.”

Naruto grumbled under his breath and then dug into his ramen. After
he had finished and wiped his mouth on the sleeve of his robe, he
sighed contentedly and then looked at Sasuke. 'I guess I should just
tell him the whole truth. He did see me in demon fox form and I
really don't have the energy to come up with some story.' “Well,
you see... I kind of got captured by the Akatsuki.”

Sasuke's eyes narrowed in interest and inside he felt concern for his
friend. “What happened?”

Naruto sighed and looked away in embarrassment. “Well... There
was this little girl that approached me after I left this small
village called Konsi. She was just a little thing and so adorable
looking. Couldn't of been no more than seven or eight years old.
Anyway, she told me she was lost and wanted me to help her find her
mother. So I said I would. Man, Sasuke, how was I supposed to know
that she was working for the Akatsuki? That bastard Kyuubi said I was
too trusting.”

“You were, dobe.” Sasuke
hated to agree with anything that Kyuubi said, but the fox was right.
'Naruto is always too trusting.'

Naruto glared at the other in anger. “Damn it, Sasuke-bastard!
Not you too! I'm not going to go around and distrust everyone I meet
and treat them like enemies. That's not how I am, nor how I want to
be.”

“Just finish your story, Naruto.”

Naruto huffed. “Fine! Anyway, all I remember is that I took her
hand and then the next thing I remember is that I'm locked up inside
myself in front of Kyuubi's cage. There was so much pain, too. I felt
like I was being ripped apart. Kyuubi told me what was happening to
me...us. I couldn't think of a way to get free. I couldn't think at
all, really. Then the fox came up with the idea that if we merged,
that would stop the jutsu they were using to separate us and would
allow me to live.” Naruto sighed and looked down. “If it
was just for me, then I would rather have died, Sasuke. But I
couldn't die just yet, because I still had to save you from
Orochimaru, and also there is protecting the village from the
Akatsuki. I have no idea what they want the bijuu for, but it can't
be good.”

“I didn't need you to save me,
idiot.”

Naruto looked up at the other boy. “Yes, you did, you bastard!
There was no way I was going to let that asshole have your body!”

“Dobe.” Sasuke sighed. “I
know that the last time we met, I told you that I was going to let
Orochimaru have my body. But I was lying. I would never do something
that stupid, despite what you think. I was using him.”

“Huh?” Naruto looked at his
friend in surprise.

“I wanted what he could teach me.
But I never had any intention of following through with giving him my
body. But I couldn't let him know that, right? Anything I said to
you, he could have heard or found out. That's why I lied to you.
After I had learned all I could, I was planning on killing him and
Kabuto. It would have been a test of my new power and strength. But
you had to go and ruin that, didn't you, Naruto?” Sasuke was
angry now and felt like taking it out on the blond.

“Damn it, Sasuke-bastard!! How
was I supposed to know? I couldn't take that chance. No matter what
you think of me, I care about you, bastard.” Naruto stood up
from the table. He was angry that Sasuke had made him believe that he
could lose his friend to Orochimaru and angry that Sasuke scorned his
help.

Sasuke glared at Naruto. “Sit down, Naruto. You aren't finished
with your explanations. So you did merge with Kyuubi?” Sasuke
already knew that Naruto had merged with the fox, but he wanted to
get the conversation back on track.

Naruto was almost
tempted to just leave the room, but he decided it would be better to
just get all of his story out of the way. He sat back down, but
wouldn't look at the dark-haired boy. “Yeah, I had to. I don't
remember what happened during the merge. The pain of it wasn't much
different from the pain I had already been going through. After I
regained consciousness, I found myself naked and bloody, lying in the
forest. I asked Kyuubi what had happened and he confirmed that we had
merged. He even told me that some of the Akatsuki had died in the
blast of chakra that occurred during the merge.”

Sasuke gasped and
looked at Naruto with apprehension. 'Itachi...' “Was...that
man there?”

At first Naruto
was puzzled about who Sasuke meant, then he remembered that his
friend wanted to kill his brother. “I don't know. I could ask
Kyuubi?”

Sasuke nodded his
head. 'That demon better not have stolen my revenge!' “Do it.”

Naruto called out
in his mind for Kyuubi. “Hey, fox! Did you kill Uchiha Itachi?
Sasuke will be really pissed if you did.”

Kyuubi had been
listening to their conversation and knew very well that the young
Uchiha brat would be pissed. He almost felt like telling him that he
had killed the older Uchiha, but then decided to just tell the truth.
'I kind of like the young Uchiha anyway, he's very intriguing. I
don't want him to hate Naruto.' “No, I know the feel of the
cursed sharingan users, and there were none of them caught in the
blast. I believe Uchiha Itachi escaped right before he could be
caught by it. Guess those eyes of his, could see trouble coming.”
Kyuubi laughed.

Naruto sighed in
relief at the fox's words. “Thanks, Kyuubi!” He looked at
Sasuke and said out loud, “Kyuubi says that Itachi got away
before the chakra blast hit them.”

Sasuke relaxed his
tense muscles. “Good. No one is allowed to kill him but me.”

Naruto shook his
head in annoyance. “Sasuke, Itachi has made lots of enemies.
There's no guarantee that you will be the one that kills him.”

Sasuke's
expression turned cold and deadly. “If someone else does kill
him before I do, I will hunt down that person and kill them instead.
It's my job to kill that man.”

Naruto just shook
his head again and then sighed. “I really need to find a place
to rest now, Sasuke. I think I've explained enough to you for now.
Either show me to a bed, or I'll go find one myself.” He got up
from the chair and looked expectantly at the other.

Sasuke stood up
also, and then lead Naruto out of the kitchen and down the hall to a
spare room. He opened the door and turned to look at the blond. “You
can sleep here.”

Naruto nodded in
thanks and then went into the room. He shut the door behind him and
then walked over to the bed and threw himself down on it. He went
instantly to sleep.

Outside the door
of the room, Sasuke stood thinking. 'Well, I had almost learned
everything that Orochimaru could teach me. Tomorrow I'll look through
his things, and Kabuto's, and see what else I can find that will help
me get stronger. I wonder though... Should I take over Sound? Without
Orochimaru or Kabuto in charge, someone needs to step up as the
leader. I could use this opportunity to get stronger and more
powerful. It would help in my search for that man. I could use
Naruto, too. Having a fox demon on my side, I could make the Sound
village the most powerful of all the ninja villages.' Sasuke turned
from the door and walked away, heading to his own room. He'd think
more on his new plans after a good night's rest.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kakashi and the
others looked through the debris of the Akatsuki hideout. They had
been searching through it, looking for a certain blond ninja, for a
couple hours now. All they had found so far, were the remains of
several Akatsuki members. 'Or what is left of their remains. It looks
like most of the bones were picked clean by animals, but enough of
their heads remain to make some identification with. I'm very glad we
haven't run across Naruto yet. I'd know his blond hair anywhere. But
then again, it may have been better for us to find him here.'

Sakura tried to
keep herself from crying and throwing up. They had to make sure they
found all the remains in order to verify whether Naruto was there or
not. She was so afraid that she would run across a sign that he was
there. She looked over at Kakashi, hoping he could help take her mind
off of what she had to do. “What could have caused this kind of
damage, Kakashi-sensei?”

“From the evidence, it looks like
it was caused by shock waves from a powerful burst of chakra. Since
the Akatsuki were dealing with bijuu, it could be a demon that caused
this. But we'll need to have tests run on some of stones here and
even from the bodies, to find out the truth. What I'm really worried
about right now, is that the bijuu may have escaped their containers.
They were being put in statues and there is nothing that is undamaged
here.”

Shikamaru, Sai and
Sakura gulped in fear and looked around.

Kakashi saw the
fear in the eyes of the young ninja and sighed. 'I shouldn't have
said that.' “Well, don't worry about it! If they had escaped,
they would have no bodies and we've been here for a couple hours now
and nothing has happened. Let's just continue our search.”

The others nodded
at the copy ninja but still were a little disturbed. A few minutes
later, Pakkun popped up in front of Kakashi. “The scent of
Naruto was here, Kakashi. But like I mentioned before, it changed a
bit and was mixed up with another scent. I was able to track the
scent to a nearby lake. Then it went off to a village, a couple miles
from the lake. I think we should all leave here and follow this
scent, Kakashi. It is Naruto, but it isn't.”

“What do you mean it is and it
isn't? What's going on, Kakashi-sensei?”

Kakashi looked
over to the pink-haired medic nin. “Well, I wasn't sure if it
was Naruto, but I had Pakkun go follow this strange scent, just in
case.” Kakashi sighed. 'I guess I'm going to have to tell them
what I fear happened.' “It is possible that Naruto and Kyuubi
merged and that Naruto survived.” He then had to pause to let
the others settle down after they had started asking questions at the
same time. “Now, now. Let me finish. If they did merge, then we
could be dealing with Kyuubi himself. I hate to think that our
“number one at surprising people” ninja would let the fox
win but we have to take that into consideration.” Kakashi
looked down at Pakkun again. “I need you to follow the scent
yourself to where it ends. Then come and get me. Don't approach the
demon or whoever it is. Now go.” Pakkun grumbled but then
headed out.

“I think we need to go back to
Konoha and report our findings to the Hokage. It could be too
dangerous for the four of us to handle and we need to see how the
Hokage wants to deal with this.”

“But, Kakashi-sensei! Naruto
could be out there hurt somewhere! You don't know for sure if he
merged with the demon. We can't just abandon him like this!”

“Sakura, we are not going to
abandon him. But it would be foolish to continue our search without
proper backup and we need someone that can do seals for demons, too.
Just in case. Now, no more arguing. Let's go.”

Sakura looked at
Shikamaru and then Sai. But both of the young men just shrugged at
her and turned to follow Kakashi. 'Naruto... You better be still
alive. And you better wait for us!' She ran after the others to catch
up.
