A/N: this chapter as a lot of evil Naruto, but he goes back to himself at the end for now. A hint of Jassin Naruto…Short SasuNaru
Chapter 9:
Sasuke lay on his bed. It had been three weeks since Naruto had left him at Konoha. Somehow home didn’t seem like home anymore with out Naruto around. He’d gotten too used to having the blond there, whether he was stoic or companiable.
He heard a footstep outside and knew they were at it again. Sakura, Kakashi and the rest were worried about him. They were keeping an eye on him to see that he did nothing stupid. They didn’t seem to understand that Sasuke would be alright…that he was waiting to see Naruto again…even if he was part of an invasion.
Sasuke wanted to be alive for that matter, he wanted to see the blond again and give him a piece of his mind. He wanted to see them all…Orochimaru included and kick that Sannin’s ass. Sasuke nearly growled, he would not let all his effort go to waste!
“Sasuke?” Kakashi’s voice came from his window. Sasuke frowned and stood up.
“Aa…what is it?”
“Well, just thought you might want to know that Gaara and his shinobi are coming. They’re going to join us against Orochimaru and…Naruto.” he could see that Kakashi had a hard time accepting that Naruto was Orochimaru’s minion too.
Sasuke nodded. “As long as everyone stays out of my way, when I face him. And you need to stop following me around, Kakashi-sensei…I won’t die until I bring that blond back to his senses!”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jassin knocked on the blond’s door. “Sensei? Are you in there?” he needed to talk to Naruto, see the extent of the damage, Orochimaru had done.
Naruto opened the door, looking utterly gorgeous. His hair tousled, his shirt completely unbuttoned and in his boxers. The moment he caught Jassin’s eye, his own glinted. “So, Jassin-kun…you’ve come to see me at last. What did you want?”
Jassin frowned. “It’s not like I purposely avoided you sensei…I was a little busy. How are you?”
“Oh I’m fine; I’m still not forgiving you for not coming to seem me. After all we are leaving for Konoha soon aren’t we…?” Naruto gave him an evil smile, fangs showing. “I can’t wait…”
“What did you do with Sasuke?” Jassin asked a little tentatively.
Naruto’s eyes narrowed. “I left him in Konoha…” his reply was clipped.
Jassin pursed his lips. “Why would you do that? You seemed to be pretty close…Uchiha was with you like you wanted him to be. Why do you throw away things that make you happy sensei? Don’t you want to be happy? Why do you push away people that love yo…?”
He stopped when he got slammed into the wall. Naruto was holding him with a grip on his neck. He bent his head toward Jassin’s, red eyes boring into the boy’s. “Don’t talk about the traitor…he betrayed me, he swore to be my best friend and protect me, but he betrayed me. He was like all the others.”
Jassin was suddenly flying across the room, he hit the bed post’s and fell onto the bed. Suddenly he was scared; Naruto had never manhandled him in his life. He was looking at a very different person here. The blond turned to him, his voice full of rage sounding more like a growl.
“Who are you to question my actions? I am you teacher…you are who you are because of me! How dare you ask about the traitor? How dare you talk about Konoha to me?” the last word was half a yell.
Jassin tried to clamber away from Naruto. When that didn’t work, he threw a kunai at him, moving fast. Naruto caught it with a smirk. Jassin started the hand seals for his jutsu. “Jimen Tsutsumu no jutsu” (Earth wrap jutsu)
Naruto got engulfed by the cocoon the floor created. Jassin used his speed to try to get to the door. But three kunai came at him. He dodged and placed his hand on the door knob, when he was pushed against the door. Suddenly he was whirled around to face Naruto. The blatant mix of rage and lust in those red eyes, made him try to push the man away.
“Sensei…please don’t…” Jassin pleaded. He had never pleaded in his life, but he didn’t want to do this with the man he loved. Not when Naruto was like this. He got cut off by a brutal kiss. He pulled away. “Please sensei…” but Naruto hauled him to the bed. Jassin closed his eyes as he gave in to the inevitable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaara had arrived the day before. He looked at Sasuke with worry. “You mean to say he left you here…? That’s not good; god knows what will happen now.”
Sasuke nodded. “I’m worried about what Orochimaru will do if he realizes I got Naruto to open up to me. I know that he was behind that ‘little voice’ Naruto spoke off. He’s got him eating out of his hands. The dobe actually looks at him with love.”
“Well, at least we have some idea of what he’s going to be like. But it’s not his fault! Konoha made Naruto what he is! If they had shown some kindness, this would not be happening.” Gaara glared at the other people in the restaurant, knowing they could hear him loud and clear. “I am only giving my support because of the alliance, but I can understand perfectly why Naruto wants to raze this village to the ground.”
Sasuke grimaced. “Keep your voice down.” Then he looked away and whispered. “I can’t kill him. I know he’s still in there…he’s not completely gone, but nothing I do will stop him.”
“Don’t sound so dejected Uchiha…you might have to fight him. If you can bring him around then, you might have a chance. Though you’ll always have a place in Suna…if Konoha rejects him again.” Gaara smirked. “It’s not like you to give up. If he means so much to you, you’ll find a way. If he doesn’t, then I care and I’ll find a way.”
Sasuke stared at the Kazekage, surprised at his blatant admission of his love for the blond.
His eyes narrowed slightly. “Of course he means a lot! You could never understand how much…I won’t let him go again!”
Gaara turned away, starting to walk out. “You’ll never know just how much I understand, Uchiha. I’m just making things clear…he’s yours for now. But he won’t be yours if you give up on him.”
Sasuke watched the red head watch and threw some cash on the table. He wanted to just go and get some sleep. Ever since Gaara had come, the jounins and Hokage had been up all night to make up strategies to beat Orochimaru.
He ignored the stares the villagers gave him. Since the first time he had left, to this day, the villagers didn’t fully trust him. They didn’t even look at him as the awesome Uchiha anymore. To them he was just an everyday jounin. But now they gave him even weirder looks, because of the rumours that had been spreading about the extent of his love for the traitorous Kyuubi vessel.
At last he reached the Uchiha compound and went in. Making his way through his house to his bed, he lay back and tried to catch some shut eye. At least in his dreams Naruto would be with him again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke opened the door and looked into blue eyes. “You came back…I’ve missed you so much.” He hugged the blond, savoring that Naruto-ish smell. The blond hugged back just as tighty. Sasuke moved back a bit so he could shut the door. It began then, the discarding of their clothes. Both going slowly trying to see who could seduce the other.
Sasuke’s eyes roamed up and down the tanned and toned body. He walked up to Naruto. “You have no idea how much I’ve missed this, dobe…” he slid his arms around Naruto’s neck and kissed him deeply. The blond moaned softly. Sasuke let his hand slide to Naruto’s hardening member and squeezed slightly.
Naruto pulled away with a gasp. “Sasuke…” Sasuke grinned at the way his name was being said. He kissed Naruto once, more beginning to lightly stroke his member. Naruto threw his head back, exposing that delicious neck to Sasuke. The dark haired boy took the opportunity and placing small, hard kisses along the blond’s neck, until he reached the juncture where the neck met the shoulder and bit down, drawing a yell from Naruto.
He licked the spot with satisfaction. And continued to lick until he reached one rosy nipple. He pecked at it first, letting his tongue just about touch the tip, moving it very very slightly. Naruto cried out, trying to frantically get more contact, as Sasuke let go of his member. Sasuke finally let took the erect bud into his mouth, as his left hand worked on the other. He loved the noises, Naruto was making.
Replacing his mouth with his right hand, Sasuke backed the blond onto the bed, before licking down to the base of his cock. He slowly nibbled at the vein on the underside of Naruto’s cock. The blond’s grip in his hair tightened. Sasuke let his tongue move slowly from base to tip, before swiping at the droplets of precum seeping off the tip.
“Sasuke…take me in, now!” Naruto ordered, but Sasuke gave him a wicked grin.
“Is that the way to ask your master, dobe? For that, I’m going to have to punish you won’t I?” Sasuke caught the blond’s arms in one swift motion and tied his wrists together with one of the shirt sleeves he managed to rip off from a garment which was lying around. Then he secured the bound wrists to the bed post.
Naruto tried to break his bonds, but they held. Sasuke watched lustfully as his lover tried to move. There was something about Naruto being tied to your bed which gave one a lot of satisfaction. Then Sasuke went back to molesting the blond’s cock. This time though, he slicked his fingers with lube and took the whole of Naruto’s cock in while plunging his fingers into that tight entrance. The moment he touched the bundle of nerves inside him, Naruto arched off the bed, with a scream.
“Please Sasuke! More…please, I…I…need…” Naruto half sobbed, as he was stimulated from both sides. Sasuke wrapped a hand around the base of his cock.
“No, Naruto….you can’t cum yet. If you do then this will end too quickly.” Sasuke couldn’t take it anymore. Naruto flushed and sweaty face, as well as the position he was in, tied up with his legs splayed, let loose a huge surge of lust in the raven haired man.
He lubed himself up quickly and positioned himself at Naruto’s entrance, moving one leg onto his shoulder to get the right spot. Then he entered, the head making a popping noise as he entered. He let go of Naruto’s cock, knowing he wouldn’t cum with out more stimulation. Though he wanted to pound the blond, he had to remember what Naruto had been through… he entered slowly, when suddenly Naruto moved impaling himself on Sasuke’s cock.
Sasuke’s eyes opened in surprise and pleasure. He looked at the blond and kissed him, before starting to move, the sounds of flash slapping against flesh, arousing them all the more. He snaked a hand to wrap around Naruto’s erection and started pumping it in time with his thrusts.
Naruto writhed under him. “Sasuke, faster, please…more…right there…its right there!” Sasuke complied, knowing he was very close. A few more thrusts and Naruto came with a cry spraying all over them. Sasuke clutched at the blond.
“Naruto…”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke’s eyes snapped open as he came in his bed. He sighed, if only the whole thing were true. These dreams were driving him nuts even if they were his only solace. He always woke up feeling lonely and depressed, that the blond wasn’t there. Ever since the first time he’d entered the blond, the dreams had plagued him.
But they weren’t always this good. Some of his dreams were nightmares; they left him feeling like his soul had been ripped out. Neither of the dreams were good if he would be facing the blond soon. When it came down to it, if he couldn’t bring Naruto around, the only way would be to kill or be killed. He would rather die, than live with no Naruto, but was it fine to leave Naruto this way?
Sasuke sighed, no matter how he looked at it; the end was not going to be good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jassin opened his eyes slowly and peered out the window. It was night again. He hadn’t left Naruto’s room in three days. He tried to turn and winced…he was really sore. He wished he could hate Naruto…but he couldn’t. This wasn’t sensei’s fault; Orochimaru had made him like this. Jassin wished that the Uchiha had been able to make Naruto better. This wouldn’t have been happening then.
Gritting his teeth he turned to see Naruto who was asleep. His face looked peacefully, not like the monster, he had been. Jassin reached out to trail his fingers across the blond’s cheek. He kept back the overwhelming urge to cry…never in his dreams had he thought that Naruto-sensei, would rape him like this.
The blond stirred a little. Sweat collecting on his brow. “Please, Sasuke…don’t…don’t leave me alone again Sasuke…” he whimpered. Jassin wondered whether to wake him up. Naruto caught hold of his hand in a death grip. “They hate me…I don’t want you to hate me too…I love you…Sasuke!”
The blond man’s voice rose in pitch. Jassin, shook him. “Sensei…it’s ok. He won’t leave you…it’s a dream!” he watched as red eyes snapped open, moving more towards their original blue.
Naruto touched the scar on his chest, slowly. He still was sleepy. Sighing he let go of Jassin’s hand. Jassin could all ready see him falling asleep. He cradled the blond. “I’ll protect you sensei…I’ll always protect you!”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura and Lee guarded the gates keeping an eye out for any activity. Everyone was very jumpy, some of the Suna scouts had come back with the news that an Orochimaru's army was heading this way. The two other scouts they had sent out this morning had not returned.
A sudden crackling of leaves and trees breaking was heard. Lee sounded the alarm. All the Konoha and Suna shinobi took their positions all around, making sure they hadn’t left any side of attack out. Tsunade and Jiraiya called their summons, as did Sasuke and Sakura. All the shinobi tensed as the ominous sound grew nearer. Then the last of the trees fell, revealing Orochimaru on a large green and brown snake. He smirked at them all.
“My, my what a gathering…seems like the whole of Konoha and Suna have come to greet me. Oh look, its Sasuke-kun…how have you been? It seems I was right when I believed Naruto-kun had left you alive.” Orochimaru showed a bit of his teeth.
Sasuke clenched his fists. “Where is he? What did you do to him you bastard?”
“Temper, temper, Sasuke-kun. Naruto-kun will be here in a few minutes. As for what I did to him…wouldn’t you like to know? Too bad, I’ll be unleashing him on your stupid village…” Orochimaru waved his hands around, speaking clearly so all Konoha heard him. “I didn’t do anything! Konoha hurt Naruto-kun and I’m just unleashing Konoha’s creation on them…how ironic!”
At that moment, there was a poof of smoke behind Orochimaru’s snake and a grating sound as something reared up in the trees. It was the purple anaconda Manda and on its head stood and grinning Naruto, behind him was a slightly agitated Jassin.
Tsunade stared and then she frowned and yelled out to him. “Naruto! What are you doing there baka! Get down here!”
Manda’s head lowered so they could get a better view of the gorgeous Kitsune and could finally see the red slitted eyes. The blond’s grin widened, his fangs resting slightly on his lower lip. “Tsunade baa-chan…that is what I used to call you, ne?” he smirked. “You’re pathetic. I’m here with an invasion and you talk to me like the old times. I am not Konoha’s Naruto anymore. It would be foolish for you to behave so.”
Tsunade stared at him, hurting at all the hate in his eyes. “Oh my god, what have we done? Can’t we talk about this Naruto? You don’t really want to attack your home would you?”
Orochimaru clicked his tongue. “Tsk…Tsunade. The moment you failed to protect him from his second rape, your bonds were broken. I’m the one Naruto cares for. Can’t you see the hate in his eyes? He can’t forgive Konoha for all the shame and bitterness they brought up on the poor boy.”
“Damn right I can’t.” Naruto growled. He turned away and caught sight of dark eyes staring at him. He held the gaze…trying to figure what that nagging feeling that he had forgotten something was. He couldn’t take it anymore. “Enough talk…this is a battle!” he turned to Orochimaru with a snarl.
Orochimaru moved so he could pat Naruto’s head. “Fine, Naruto-kun. We can begin now…just a bit more patience.” He said soothingly. Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya in fear. She couldn’t believe that it was her little brother up there, eager to kill.
Before anyone realized what was happening, Manda struck, sending the hordes of shinobi scrambling for safety. Manda reared again, before plunging down. It worked like a signal, suddenly sound and mist nin were swarming into Konoha. Sasuke looked around, wondering how to lure the blond away from the village itself.
“Oi, dobe…if you want a real fight, then you should come for me. I don’t intend to go slow on you, dead last!” Sasuke called out, as he spurred Shimo away from the village.
“Heard that, Manda? Let’s go!” he started to follow when Jiraiya blocked his path. Naruto glared, hatred oozing out of his eyes. “You!”
The great toad looked him up and down. But for once he didn’t have anything cocky to say. Manda hissed and spat furiously. Jiraiya gazed at his former student. “I always knew you’d become one of the best shinobi. But I never thought you’d be Orochimaru’s lackey!”
“I won’t have anyone talking about Orochimaru-sama like that. He was there for me…unlike you!” Naruto and Manda lunged for the toad. Gama Bunta jumped, twisting around to spit gobs of oil at them. Naruto grinned as he put up and shield, causing oil to fall like rain.
Then his hands formed a quick seal and huge bursts of chakra flew at the toad, who dodged two, but got hit by the last one. Bunta skidded a few meters away. Pulling out his dagger, Bunta charged at Naruto. Manda slithered away, his tail, crashing into the toad with force. Jiraiya jumped landing on Manda’s head.
He and Naruto began to grapple. Jiraiya strained to keep up with the blond’s bruising strength. “Naruto…are you sure about this? Is this what you wanted all along? The men who raped you were assholes for not being able to see the good in you. But what about the others? What about you’re friends?”
“No one cared! No one even knew that something had happened. They didn’t even notice I was away! They didn’t care! Don’t preach to me, old man!” Naruto yelled, rage coursing through his veins.
“That’s because you didn’t want them to know! They searched for a year and some of them searched for more…everyone missed you. The rest of the villagers helped too. Do you want to throw away your friends for Orochimaru?” Jiraiya asked, realizing, Naruto’s grip had weakened just a bit.
A bit of blue seeped back into the blond’s eyes, before he suddenly screamed. “Shut up, shut up, shut up, you just want us to lose! SHUT UP!” he threw Jiraiya off Manda. Bunta caught the Sannin, breaking his fall, but it had still hurt a lot. Jiraiya found he couldn’t move.
Naruto caught his head slightly, angry memories coming up to the surface. He caught himself from remembering further, if he did the voice would come as well, it always did. Taking a few deep breaths, he moved towards the place Sasuke had run to. It was a few feet away from the village.
Sasuke waited, trying to quell the tense feeling in his heart, he’d seen what Naruto had done to Jiraiya. Now the blond was advancing on him. The hate in Naruto’s eyes tore through Sasuke. He would never forgive Orochimaru for this.
“Uchiha…what are you waiting for? Are you going to stand there and stare at me?” Naruto asked in a snide voice.
“You wish dobe. I couldn’t lose to someone as gullible as you are!” Sasuke and Shimo jumped out of the way as the snake struck. Shimo whipped around and bit through Manda’s tail. The snake hissed in pain and fury, turning to spit a gob of acidic poison at the wolf. It hit Shimo in the side, making him whine, as the acid burned him.
Naruto jumped off Manda, to the ground. He looked at the great snake. “Don’t leave unless I ask you too, please. I’ll still need you!” The snake agreed and moved away, not interfering as Naruto waited for Sasuke to come down as well, a challenge in his eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jassin plunged the sword in and received a spray of blood. They were evenly matched, the Konoha and Suna nins being better than the mist nins. He knew that they had a bigger army, but Konoha had better ninja’s. He was killing automatically, Orochimaru’s words about Naruto being raped still ringing in his ears. It explained a lot, it explained how Orochimaru could have so much power over the blond.
He cut another person down, and used the Jimen Tsutsumu no jutsu to finish off a few more nins. Images of the blond’s smile and gentle touches still in his mind, they were replaced with the monster that had taken his virginity. Still fighting Jassin wondered if he was doing the right thing.
This Konoha place seemed like it could help his sensei, more then Otogakure ever could. Maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad if the Uchiha hadn’t turned up, but what was done was done. Now Jassin had to concentrate on doing what was right or at least what he felt was right. He saw Orochimaru fleeing from the battle, in the direction Naruto had gone. Jassin suddenly felt scared. He followed he Sannin, feeling something bad was going to happen. No one else noticed them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke jumped down, readying himself to fight Naruto one on one. So it had come to this. He waited just a moment, before he rushed at the blond. They both went through a series of fast taijutsu. Sasuke gave a small smile, his training had paid off. At least he could match the blond’s speed now. They both jumped back, watching each other warily. Sasuke decided to speak.
“Dobe, look at you. Have you looked in the mirror anytime? You’ve become a monster!”
Naruto’s eyes narrowed. “I was always a monster! All my life, I was a monster! Why do you think I had to go through the things I did? Why do you think my father” he spat that word. “Used me to host Kyuubi? I was fated to be a monster since I was born!”
“You sound like Neji, dobe! I used to think you were stronger than this!” Sasuke sneered. Then he recognized Naruto’s seals and used Tsukiyomi. Naruto’s Kurái Omoide hit him just as Tsukiyomi hit Naruto. Both writhed caught in a genjutsu. Sasuke having old memories brought up and living through them once more, Naruto having all the old good memories plaguing him. All the hate in his mind was being pushed out bit by bit. Naruto fought it, finally breaking through only to find Sasuke had managed to as well.
“You bastard!” Naruto howled and jumped at him. They scrambled in the dirt, each trying to throw the other off. Both had a grip on the other neck, both trying to strangle but not able to.
“Did that knock …some…sense into…you, dobe?” Sasuke panted. “Did that show you, how gullible you are?”
Naruto began growling softly. “Shut up…how dare you bring those memories back? Orochimaru-sama…”
“Orochimaru-sama, is using you…he’s using to finish Konoha and then he’ll kill you! Think rationally idiot!” Sasuke started to kick Naruto, trying to get him to submit.
Orochimaru stared at the scene below him. They were so caught up in their own little battle, that they didn’t even notice his presence. He realized that Naruto was avoiding Sasuke’s eyes. Another Tsukiyomi and he knew he would lose his Naruto for good. The sight of the Uchiha brought up a burning anger.
He wanted the Uchiha gone, so what if Naruto went with him? The blond wasn’t going to be of any further use, if he couldn’t even bring himself to kill the Uchiha. He began to make the seals for his ultimate technique.
Jassin saw the seal Orochimaru was making and looked at the grappling men in horror. It was the Seikatsu Kesu (Life erasing) jutsu. It erased all trace of a person’s existence, making it impossible to bring that person back to life, or use their body. Orochimaru didn’t mind killing Naruto! He dashed forward towards the men. “SENSEI!”
Naruto was panting hard, trying to squeeze the life out Sasuke, when he heard Jassin’s scream. Both the men looked up and saw a burst of white chakra flaring towards them. Naruto saw the whole thing in slow motion. Jassin throwing himself in from tog them, trying to intercept the jutsu.
Naruto heard someone…he’d find out later that it as himself scream. “JASSIN…NO!” His student turned to regard him with a smile. He could just about hear what he said before the white light hit him and Jassin got slowly erased in front of his eyes. That sweet smile and too bright eyes fading into nothingness.
“Follow your dream Naruto-sensei…” the boy’s last words stuck in Naruto’s head as he stared at the empty spot in front of him. Then he looked up, making eye contact with Orochimaru. Something broke in him. Sasuke scrambled away, in time, getting away from the red chakra swirling around the blond as he screamed.
Orochimaru speeded away towards Konoha. Naruto followed him his form changing as he sprouted five tails. He could handle that much of the power inside him now. Sasuke as well as Manda and Shimo followed them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Tsunade was fighting Kabuto when suddenly all the fighting stopped. Every shinobi froze in fear as the menacing chakra drew nearer. Suddenly Orochimaru burst out of the foliage, followed by a blazing Naruto.
“Naruto-kun…what are you doing? Are you really going to attack me?” Orochimaru called, standing on the head of one of his snakes. “I love you Naruto-kun…I’m the one that cared for you…”
Naruto growled. “You killed him! You killed my student…you wanted to kill me. You messed WITH MY MIND!” his voice sounded deep and like a bellow. He lunged at the snake and tore through it.
Suddenly the purple anaconda appeared. “Naruto-sama…let me fight with you! Feed me Orochimaru…I have wanted his blood all these years!”
Naruto leaped onto the giant snakes head. “I want to kill him first. I’LL KILL YOU!” Manda lunged at Orochimaru who leaped out of the way. Naruto shot a few chakra blasts at him, seething with Kyuubi’s vile energy.
Orochimaru dodged and his tongue flew at the blond. Naruto snarled as it wrapped around his neck and increased the temperature of his chakra. Orochimaru let go with a howl as his tongue burnt.
Naruto laughed. “You think you can kill me like that? You were going to use me to get Konoha weren’t you! Bastard! I’ll give you a gift. I’ll kill you with my father’s favorite jutsu…a going away present.” He held out his hand gathering chakra. “RASENGAN!” only this time it was a huge ball of chakra, bigger than a football.
Naruto leaped off Manda flying at Orochimaru with frightening speed. His eyes bored into the snake Sannin’s, when suddenly, he felt his hand and rasengan sink into someone. He found himself gazing into the lifeless eyes of Kabuto’s. He growled in frustration, when he saw Orochimaru standing to a side smirking.
“Hn. These minions com in very handy…I’ll see you sometime Naruto-kun. And I’ll kill you then. You foiled my plans for Konoha for the last time.” With a whisper of dead leaves he was gone. Naruto freed his hand from Kabuto’s body, the red chakra around him fading. He was bleeding in various places, five tails was a lot to handle. He couldn’t heal himself, being drained of chakra for now. Slowly he turned back to face the numerous shinobi staring at him. He thought he heard Tsunade saying something. Turning to look at Sasuke, Naruto swayed and let darkness claim him. If he was to die now, then so be it. At least Jassin would be waiting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: this is not the end. I’ll tell you when it is….don’t forget I have promised a kind of happy ending. But I have a few more chapters to go for that. I felt like it was a pretty intense chapter. 14 pages, a lot longer than the usual. But anyway ow was it? I can’t believe I had writers block for this chapter! Thanks a lot for reading so far…see you in the next update.

Chapter 9:
Sasuke lay on his bed. It had been three weeks since Naruto had left him at Konoha. Somehow home didn’t seem like home anymore with out Naruto around. He’d gotten too used to having the blond there, whether he was stoic or companiable.
He heard a footstep outside and knew they were at it again. Sakura, Kakashi and the rest were worried about him. They were keeping an eye on him to see that he did nothing stupid. They didn’t seem to understand that Sasuke would be alright…that he was waiting to see Naruto again…even if he was part of an invasion.
Sasuke wanted to be alive for that matter, he wanted to see the blond again and give him a piece of his mind. He wanted to see them all…Orochimaru included and kick that Sannin’s ass. Sasuke nearly growled, he would not let all his effort go to waste!
“Sasuke?” Kakashi’s voice came from his window. Sasuke frowned and stood up.
“Aa…what is it?”
“Well, just thought you might want to know that Gaara and his shinobi are coming. They’re going to join us against Orochimaru and…Naruto.” he could see that Kakashi had a hard time accepting that Naruto was Orochimaru’s minion too.
Sasuke nodded. “As long as everyone stays out of my way, when I face him. And you need to stop following me around, Kakashi-sensei…I won’t die until I bring that blond back to his senses!”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jassin knocked on the blond’s door. “Sensei? Are you in there?” he needed to talk to Naruto, see the extent of the damage, Orochimaru had done.
Naruto opened the door, looking utterly gorgeous. His hair tousled, his shirt completely unbuttoned and in his boxers. The moment he caught Jassin’s eye, his own glinted. “So, Jassin-kun…you’ve come to see me at last. What did you want?”
Jassin frowned. “It’s not like I purposely avoided you sensei…I was a little busy. How are you?”
“Oh I’m fine; I’m still not forgiving you for not coming to seem me. After all we are leaving for Konoha soon aren’t we…?” Naruto gave him an evil smile, fangs showing. “I can’t wait…”
“What did you do with Sasuke?” Jassin asked a little tentatively.
Naruto’s eyes narrowed. “I left him in Konoha…” his reply was clipped.
Jassin pursed his lips. “Why would you do that? You seemed to be pretty close…Uchiha was with you like you wanted him to be. Why do you throw away things that make you happy sensei? Don’t you want to be happy? Why do you push away people that love yo…?”
He stopped when he got slammed into the wall. Naruto was holding him with a grip on his neck. He bent his head toward Jassin’s, red eyes boring into the boy’s. “Don’t talk about the traitor…he betrayed me, he swore to be my best friend and protect me, but he betrayed me. He was like all the others.”
Jassin was suddenly flying across the room, he hit the bed post’s and fell onto the bed. Suddenly he was scared; Naruto had never manhandled him in his life. He was looking at a very different person here. The blond turned to him, his voice full of rage sounding more like a growl.
“Who are you to question my actions? I am you teacher…you are who you are because of me! How dare you ask about the traitor? How dare you talk about Konoha to me?” the last word was half a yell.
Jassin tried to clamber away from Naruto. When that didn’t work, he threw a kunai at him, moving fast. Naruto caught it with a smirk. Jassin started the hand seals for his jutsu. “Jimen Tsutsumu no jutsu” (Earth wrap jutsu)
Naruto got engulfed by the cocoon the floor created. Jassin used his speed to try to get to the door. But three kunai came at him. He dodged and placed his hand on the door knob, when he was pushed against the door. Suddenly he was whirled around to face Naruto. The blatant mix of rage and lust in those red eyes, made him try to push the man away.
“Sensei…please don’t…” Jassin pleaded. He had never pleaded in his life, but he didn’t want to do this with the man he loved. Not when Naruto was like this. He got cut off by a brutal kiss. He pulled away. “Please sensei…” but Naruto hauled him to the bed. Jassin closed his eyes as he gave in to the inevitable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaara had arrived the day before. He looked at Sasuke with worry. “You mean to say he left you here…? That’s not good; god knows what will happen now.”
Sasuke nodded. “I’m worried about what Orochimaru will do if he realizes I got Naruto to open up to me. I know that he was behind that ‘little voice’ Naruto spoke off. He’s got him eating out of his hands. The dobe actually looks at him with love.”
“Well, at least we have some idea of what he’s going to be like. But it’s not his fault! Konoha made Naruto what he is! If they had shown some kindness, this would not be happening.” Gaara glared at the other people in the restaurant, knowing they could hear him loud and clear. “I am only giving my support because of the alliance, but I can understand perfectly why Naruto wants to raze this village to the ground.”
Sasuke grimaced. “Keep your voice down.” Then he looked away and whispered. “I can’t kill him. I know he’s still in there…he’s not completely gone, but nothing I do will stop him.”
“Don’t sound so dejected Uchiha…you might have to fight him. If you can bring him around then, you might have a chance. Though you’ll always have a place in Suna…if Konoha rejects him again.” Gaara smirked. “It’s not like you to give up. If he means so much to you, you’ll find a way. If he doesn’t, then I care and I’ll find a way.”
Sasuke stared at the Kazekage, surprised at his blatant admission of his love for the blond.
His eyes narrowed slightly. “Of course he means a lot! You could never understand how much…I won’t let him go again!”
Gaara turned away, starting to walk out. “You’ll never know just how much I understand, Uchiha. I’m just making things clear…he’s yours for now. But he won’t be yours if you give up on him.”
Sasuke watched the red head watch and threw some cash on the table. He wanted to just go and get some sleep. Ever since Gaara had come, the jounins and Hokage had been up all night to make up strategies to beat Orochimaru.
He ignored the stares the villagers gave him. Since the first time he had left, to this day, the villagers didn’t fully trust him. They didn’t even look at him as the awesome Uchiha anymore. To them he was just an everyday jounin. But now they gave him even weirder looks, because of the rumours that had been spreading about the extent of his love for the traitorous Kyuubi vessel.
At last he reached the Uchiha compound and went in. Making his way through his house to his bed, he lay back and tried to catch some shut eye. At least in his dreams Naruto would be with him again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke opened the door and looked into blue eyes. “You came back…I’ve missed you so much.” He hugged the blond, savoring that Naruto-ish smell. The blond hugged back just as tighty. Sasuke moved back a bit so he could shut the door. It began then, the discarding of their clothes. Both going slowly trying to see who could seduce the other.
Sasuke’s eyes roamed up and down the tanned and toned body. He walked up to Naruto. “You have no idea how much I’ve missed this, dobe…” he slid his arms around Naruto’s neck and kissed him deeply. The blond moaned softly. Sasuke let his hand slide to Naruto’s hardening member and squeezed slightly.
Naruto pulled away with a gasp. “Sasuke…” Sasuke grinned at the way his name was being said. He kissed Naruto once, more beginning to lightly stroke his member. Naruto threw his head back, exposing that delicious neck to Sasuke. The dark haired boy took the opportunity and placing small, hard kisses along the blond’s neck, until he reached the juncture where the neck met the shoulder and bit down, drawing a yell from Naruto.
He licked the spot with satisfaction. And continued to lick until he reached one rosy nipple. He pecked at it first, letting his tongue just about touch the tip, moving it very very slightly. Naruto cried out, trying to frantically get more contact, as Sasuke let go of his member. Sasuke finally let took the erect bud into his mouth, as his left hand worked on the other. He loved the noises, Naruto was making.
Replacing his mouth with his right hand, Sasuke backed the blond onto the bed, before licking down to the base of his cock. He slowly nibbled at the vein on the underside of Naruto’s cock. The blond’s grip in his hair tightened. Sasuke let his tongue move slowly from base to tip, before swiping at the droplets of precum seeping off the tip.
“Sasuke…take me in, now!” Naruto ordered, but Sasuke gave him a wicked grin.
“Is that the way to ask your master, dobe? For that, I’m going to have to punish you won’t I?” Sasuke caught the blond’s arms in one swift motion and tied his wrists together with one of the shirt sleeves he managed to rip off from a garment which was lying around. Then he secured the bound wrists to the bed post.
Naruto tried to break his bonds, but they held. Sasuke watched lustfully as his lover tried to move. There was something about Naruto being tied to your bed which gave one a lot of satisfaction. Then Sasuke went back to molesting the blond’s cock. This time though, he slicked his fingers with lube and took the whole of Naruto’s cock in while plunging his fingers into that tight entrance. The moment he touched the bundle of nerves inside him, Naruto arched off the bed, with a scream.
“Please Sasuke! More…please, I…I…need…” Naruto half sobbed, as he was stimulated from both sides. Sasuke wrapped a hand around the base of his cock.
“No, Naruto….you can’t cum yet. If you do then this will end too quickly.” Sasuke couldn’t take it anymore. Naruto flushed and sweaty face, as well as the position he was in, tied up with his legs splayed, let loose a huge surge of lust in the raven haired man.
He lubed himself up quickly and positioned himself at Naruto’s entrance, moving one leg onto his shoulder to get the right spot. Then he entered, the head making a popping noise as he entered. He let go of Naruto’s cock, knowing he wouldn’t cum with out more stimulation. Though he wanted to pound the blond, he had to remember what Naruto had been through… he entered slowly, when suddenly Naruto moved impaling himself on Sasuke’s cock.
Sasuke’s eyes opened in surprise and pleasure. He looked at the blond and kissed him, before starting to move, the sounds of flash slapping against flesh, arousing them all the more. He snaked a hand to wrap around Naruto’s erection and started pumping it in time with his thrusts.
Naruto writhed under him. “Sasuke, faster, please…more…right there…its right there!” Sasuke complied, knowing he was very close. A few more thrusts and Naruto came with a cry spraying all over them. Sasuke clutched at the blond.
“Naruto…”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke’s eyes snapped open as he came in his bed. He sighed, if only the whole thing were true. These dreams were driving him nuts even if they were his only solace. He always woke up feeling lonely and depressed, that the blond wasn’t there. Ever since the first time he’d entered the blond, the dreams had plagued him.
But they weren’t always this good. Some of his dreams were nightmares; they left him feeling like his soul had been ripped out. Neither of the dreams were good if he would be facing the blond soon. When it came down to it, if he couldn’t bring Naruto around, the only way would be to kill or be killed. He would rather die, than live with no Naruto, but was it fine to leave Naruto this way?
Sasuke sighed, no matter how he looked at it; the end was not going to be good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jassin opened his eyes slowly and peered out the window. It was night again. He hadn’t left Naruto’s room in three days. He tried to turn and winced…he was really sore. He wished he could hate Naruto…but he couldn’t. This wasn’t sensei’s fault; Orochimaru had made him like this. Jassin wished that the Uchiha had been able to make Naruto better. This wouldn’t have been happening then.
Gritting his teeth he turned to see Naruto who was asleep. His face looked peacefully, not like the monster, he had been. Jassin reached out to trail his fingers across the blond’s cheek. He kept back the overwhelming urge to cry…never in his dreams had he thought that Naruto-sensei, would rape him like this.
The blond stirred a little. Sweat collecting on his brow. “Please, Sasuke…don’t…don’t leave me alone again Sasuke…” he whimpered. Jassin wondered whether to wake him up. Naruto caught hold of his hand in a death grip. “They hate me…I don’t want you to hate me too…I love you…Sasuke!”
The blond man’s voice rose in pitch. Jassin, shook him. “Sensei…it’s ok. He won’t leave you…it’s a dream!” he watched as red eyes snapped open, moving more towards their original blue.
Naruto touched the scar on his chest, slowly. He still was sleepy. Sighing he let go of Jassin’s hand. Jassin could all ready see him falling asleep. He cradled the blond. “I’ll protect you sensei…I’ll always protect you!”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura and Lee guarded the gates keeping an eye out for any activity. Everyone was very jumpy, some of the Suna scouts had come back with the news that an Orochimaru's army was heading this way. The two other scouts they had sent out this morning had not returned.
A sudden crackling of leaves and trees breaking was heard. Lee sounded the alarm. All the Konoha and Suna shinobi took their positions all around, making sure they hadn’t left any side of attack out. Tsunade and Jiraiya called their summons, as did Sasuke and Sakura. All the shinobi tensed as the ominous sound grew nearer. Then the last of the trees fell, revealing Orochimaru on a large green and brown snake. He smirked at them all.
“My, my what a gathering…seems like the whole of Konoha and Suna have come to greet me. Oh look, its Sasuke-kun…how have you been? It seems I was right when I believed Naruto-kun had left you alive.” Orochimaru showed a bit of his teeth.
Sasuke clenched his fists. “Where is he? What did you do to him you bastard?”
“Temper, temper, Sasuke-kun. Naruto-kun will be here in a few minutes. As for what I did to him…wouldn’t you like to know? Too bad, I’ll be unleashing him on your stupid village…” Orochimaru waved his hands around, speaking clearly so all Konoha heard him. “I didn’t do anything! Konoha hurt Naruto-kun and I’m just unleashing Konoha’s creation on them…how ironic!”
At that moment, there was a poof of smoke behind Orochimaru’s snake and a grating sound as something reared up in the trees. It was the purple anaconda Manda and on its head stood and grinning Naruto, behind him was a slightly agitated Jassin.
Tsunade stared and then she frowned and yelled out to him. “Naruto! What are you doing there baka! Get down here!”
Manda’s head lowered so they could get a better view of the gorgeous Kitsune and could finally see the red slitted eyes. The blond’s grin widened, his fangs resting slightly on his lower lip. “Tsunade baa-chan…that is what I used to call you, ne?” he smirked. “You’re pathetic. I’m here with an invasion and you talk to me like the old times. I am not Konoha’s Naruto anymore. It would be foolish for you to behave so.”
Tsunade stared at him, hurting at all the hate in his eyes. “Oh my god, what have we done? Can’t we talk about this Naruto? You don’t really want to attack your home would you?”
Orochimaru clicked his tongue. “Tsk…Tsunade. The moment you failed to protect him from his second rape, your bonds were broken. I’m the one Naruto cares for. Can’t you see the hate in his eyes? He can’t forgive Konoha for all the shame and bitterness they brought up on the poor boy.”
“Damn right I can’t.” Naruto growled. He turned away and caught sight of dark eyes staring at him. He held the gaze…trying to figure what that nagging feeling that he had forgotten something was. He couldn’t take it anymore. “Enough talk…this is a battle!” he turned to Orochimaru with a snarl.
Orochimaru moved so he could pat Naruto’s head. “Fine, Naruto-kun. We can begin now…just a bit more patience.” He said soothingly. Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya in fear. She couldn’t believe that it was her little brother up there, eager to kill.
Before anyone realized what was happening, Manda struck, sending the hordes of shinobi scrambling for safety. Manda reared again, before plunging down. It worked like a signal, suddenly sound and mist nin were swarming into Konoha. Sasuke looked around, wondering how to lure the blond away from the village itself.
“Oi, dobe…if you want a real fight, then you should come for me. I don’t intend to go slow on you, dead last!” Sasuke called out, as he spurred Shimo away from the village.
“Heard that, Manda? Let’s go!” he started to follow when Jiraiya blocked his path. Naruto glared, hatred oozing out of his eyes. “You!”
The great toad looked him up and down. But for once he didn’t have anything cocky to say. Manda hissed and spat furiously. Jiraiya gazed at his former student. “I always knew you’d become one of the best shinobi. But I never thought you’d be Orochimaru’s lackey!”
“I won’t have anyone talking about Orochimaru-sama like that. He was there for me…unlike you!” Naruto and Manda lunged for the toad. Gama Bunta jumped, twisting around to spit gobs of oil at them. Naruto grinned as he put up and shield, causing oil to fall like rain.
Then his hands formed a quick seal and huge bursts of chakra flew at the toad, who dodged two, but got hit by the last one. Bunta skidded a few meters away. Pulling out his dagger, Bunta charged at Naruto. Manda slithered away, his tail, crashing into the toad with force. Jiraiya jumped landing on Manda’s head.
He and Naruto began to grapple. Jiraiya strained to keep up with the blond’s bruising strength. “Naruto…are you sure about this? Is this what you wanted all along? The men who raped you were assholes for not being able to see the good in you. But what about the others? What about you’re friends?”
“No one cared! No one even knew that something had happened. They didn’t even notice I was away! They didn’t care! Don’t preach to me, old man!” Naruto yelled, rage coursing through his veins.
“That’s because you didn’t want them to know! They searched for a year and some of them searched for more…everyone missed you. The rest of the villagers helped too. Do you want to throw away your friends for Orochimaru?” Jiraiya asked, realizing, Naruto’s grip had weakened just a bit.
A bit of blue seeped back into the blond’s eyes, before he suddenly screamed. “Shut up, shut up, shut up, you just want us to lose! SHUT UP!” he threw Jiraiya off Manda. Bunta caught the Sannin, breaking his fall, but it had still hurt a lot. Jiraiya found he couldn’t move.
Naruto caught his head slightly, angry memories coming up to the surface. He caught himself from remembering further, if he did the voice would come as well, it always did. Taking a few deep breaths, he moved towards the place Sasuke had run to. It was a few feet away from the village.
Sasuke waited, trying to quell the tense feeling in his heart, he’d seen what Naruto had done to Jiraiya. Now the blond was advancing on him. The hate in Naruto’s eyes tore through Sasuke. He would never forgive Orochimaru for this.
“Uchiha…what are you waiting for? Are you going to stand there and stare at me?” Naruto asked in a snide voice.
“You wish dobe. I couldn’t lose to someone as gullible as you are!” Sasuke and Shimo jumped out of the way as the snake struck. Shimo whipped around and bit through Manda’s tail. The snake hissed in pain and fury, turning to spit a gob of acidic poison at the wolf. It hit Shimo in the side, making him whine, as the acid burned him.
Naruto jumped off Manda, to the ground. He looked at the great snake. “Don’t leave unless I ask you too, please. I’ll still need you!” The snake agreed and moved away, not interfering as Naruto waited for Sasuke to come down as well, a challenge in his eyes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jassin plunged the sword in and received a spray of blood. They were evenly matched, the Konoha and Suna nins being better than the mist nins. He knew that they had a bigger army, but Konoha had better ninja’s. He was killing automatically, Orochimaru’s words about Naruto being raped still ringing in his ears. It explained a lot, it explained how Orochimaru could have so much power over the blond.
He cut another person down, and used the Jimen Tsutsumu no jutsu to finish off a few more nins. Images of the blond’s smile and gentle touches still in his mind, they were replaced with the monster that had taken his virginity. Still fighting Jassin wondered if he was doing the right thing.
This Konoha place seemed like it could help his sensei, more then Otogakure ever could. Maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad if the Uchiha hadn’t turned up, but what was done was done. Now Jassin had to concentrate on doing what was right or at least what he felt was right. He saw Orochimaru fleeing from the battle, in the direction Naruto had gone. Jassin suddenly felt scared. He followed he Sannin, feeling something bad was going to happen. No one else noticed them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke jumped down, readying himself to fight Naruto one on one. So it had come to this. He waited just a moment, before he rushed at the blond. They both went through a series of fast taijutsu. Sasuke gave a small smile, his training had paid off. At least he could match the blond’s speed now. They both jumped back, watching each other warily. Sasuke decided to speak.
“Dobe, look at you. Have you looked in the mirror anytime? You’ve become a monster!”
Naruto’s eyes narrowed. “I was always a monster! All my life, I was a monster! Why do you think I had to go through the things I did? Why do you think my father” he spat that word. “Used me to host Kyuubi? I was fated to be a monster since I was born!”
“You sound like Neji, dobe! I used to think you were stronger than this!” Sasuke sneered. Then he recognized Naruto’s seals and used Tsukiyomi. Naruto’s Kurái Omoide hit him just as Tsukiyomi hit Naruto. Both writhed caught in a genjutsu. Sasuke having old memories brought up and living through them once more, Naruto having all the old good memories plaguing him. All the hate in his mind was being pushed out bit by bit. Naruto fought it, finally breaking through only to find Sasuke had managed to as well.
“You bastard!” Naruto howled and jumped at him. They scrambled in the dirt, each trying to throw the other off. Both had a grip on the other neck, both trying to strangle but not able to.
“Did that knock …some…sense into…you, dobe?” Sasuke panted. “Did that show you, how gullible you are?”
Naruto began growling softly. “Shut up…how dare you bring those memories back? Orochimaru-sama…”
“Orochimaru-sama, is using you…he’s using to finish Konoha and then he’ll kill you! Think rationally idiot!” Sasuke started to kick Naruto, trying to get him to submit.
Orochimaru stared at the scene below him. They were so caught up in their own little battle, that they didn’t even notice his presence. He realized that Naruto was avoiding Sasuke’s eyes. Another Tsukiyomi and he knew he would lose his Naruto for good. The sight of the Uchiha brought up a burning anger.
He wanted the Uchiha gone, so what if Naruto went with him? The blond wasn’t going to be of any further use, if he couldn’t even bring himself to kill the Uchiha. He began to make the seals for his ultimate technique.
Jassin saw the seal Orochimaru was making and looked at the grappling men in horror. It was the Seikatsu Kesu (Life erasing) jutsu. It erased all trace of a person’s existence, making it impossible to bring that person back to life, or use their body. Orochimaru didn’t mind killing Naruto! He dashed forward towards the men. “SENSEI!”
Naruto was panting hard, trying to squeeze the life out Sasuke, when he heard Jassin’s scream. Both the men looked up and saw a burst of white chakra flaring towards them. Naruto saw the whole thing in slow motion. Jassin throwing himself in from tog them, trying to intercept the jutsu.
Naruto heard someone…he’d find out later that it as himself scream. “JASSIN…NO!” His student turned to regard him with a smile. He could just about hear what he said before the white light hit him and Jassin got slowly erased in front of his eyes. That sweet smile and too bright eyes fading into nothingness.
“Follow your dream Naruto-sensei…” the boy’s last words stuck in Naruto’s head as he stared at the empty spot in front of him. Then he looked up, making eye contact with Orochimaru. Something broke in him. Sasuke scrambled away, in time, getting away from the red chakra swirling around the blond as he screamed.
Orochimaru speeded away towards Konoha. Naruto followed him his form changing as he sprouted five tails. He could handle that much of the power inside him now. Sasuke as well as Manda and Shimo followed them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Tsunade was fighting Kabuto when suddenly all the fighting stopped. Every shinobi froze in fear as the menacing chakra drew nearer. Suddenly Orochimaru burst out of the foliage, followed by a blazing Naruto.
“Naruto-kun…what are you doing? Are you really going to attack me?” Orochimaru called, standing on the head of one of his snakes. “I love you Naruto-kun…I’m the one that cared for you…”
Naruto growled. “You killed him! You killed my student…you wanted to kill me. You messed WITH MY MIND!” his voice sounded deep and like a bellow. He lunged at the snake and tore through it.
Suddenly the purple anaconda appeared. “Naruto-sama…let me fight with you! Feed me Orochimaru…I have wanted his blood all these years!”
Naruto leaped onto the giant snakes head. “I want to kill him first. I’LL KILL YOU!” Manda lunged at Orochimaru who leaped out of the way. Naruto shot a few chakra blasts at him, seething with Kyuubi’s vile energy.
Orochimaru dodged and his tongue flew at the blond. Naruto snarled as it wrapped around his neck and increased the temperature of his chakra. Orochimaru let go with a howl as his tongue burnt.
Naruto laughed. “You think you can kill me like that? You were going to use me to get Konoha weren’t you! Bastard! I’ll give you a gift. I’ll kill you with my father’s favorite jutsu…a going away present.” He held out his hand gathering chakra. “RASENGAN!” only this time it was a huge ball of chakra, bigger than a football.
Naruto leaped off Manda flying at Orochimaru with frightening speed. His eyes bored into the snake Sannin’s, when suddenly, he felt his hand and rasengan sink into someone. He found himself gazing into the lifeless eyes of Kabuto’s. He growled in frustration, when he saw Orochimaru standing to a side smirking.
“Hn. These minions com in very handy…I’ll see you sometime Naruto-kun. And I’ll kill you then. You foiled my plans for Konoha for the last time.” With a whisper of dead leaves he was gone. Naruto freed his hand from Kabuto’s body, the red chakra around him fading. He was bleeding in various places, five tails was a lot to handle. He couldn’t heal himself, being drained of chakra for now. Slowly he turned back to face the numerous shinobi staring at him. He thought he heard Tsunade saying something. Turning to look at Sasuke, Naruto swayed and let darkness claim him. If he was to die now, then so be it. At least Jassin would be waiting.
