"CHIDORI!" The loud yell echoed through out the large forest, soon a large part of it was demolished. Sasuke stared into where his hand was now embedded, the orange jacket with a large hole in its shoulder with the blond haired boy gushing blood onto Sasuke's hand. Sasuke then leaped up and drop kicked Naruto removing his hand at the same time, back flipping in the air Sasuke landed on his feet. Folding his arms with a familiar smirk on his face. Naruto flipped and rolled hitting the dirt and slowly came to a dragging stop on the rough dirt. Bleeding profusely from his shoulder he slowly began to get up, coughing up blood. Using his right arm to hold himself up from the ground.

"Naruto, you stand no chance against me now, you always beat me before, every time I thought I was ahead of you, you somehow, pulled ahead. I never knew how you could do it, all these unexplained Jutsu's you could use, until I saw the Kyuubi in you that one time. I finally understood everything; I still couldn't believe how a brat like you could hold something so powerful though."

Sasuke slowly began to walk forwards to where Naruto was cradled over coughing up blood. Sasuke's speed quickened until he was in a full scale run and laid a sick-crushing kick into Naruto's ribs. Naruto again went flying this time being stopped when his back hit a large tree, his head snapping back and cracking the back of his skull of the trunk. Naruto coughed a large amount of blood again, Sasuke smiled. He enjoyed the sight, finally he had become stronger, and Finally Naruto was Weak.

"You see Naruto, your efforts are useless, all your teammates that you came here with, are dead, or will die when I'm finished with you. Konoha is no longer my home, matter of fact I think ill destroy it when I'm done with Itachi. You see Naruto now I have this power I am unstoppable, I AM…."

"Stupid" Naruto interrupted; suddenly Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"NANI? When Did He?" Sasuke began to quickly look around in dismay suddenly a kunai flew from one of the tree's, but then two more , then three more, Sasuke easily dogged all six of the kunais as they embedded into the ground around him.

"BAKA! You never were good with aim" Sasuke laughed

Suddenly Sasuke remembered Naruto's battle with Gaara, the explosion seal on the kunai, Sasuke whipped around to the nearest dagger now noticing the tag on it. Quickly Sasuke leaped back just as the kunai's exploded.

"GOTCHA!" suddenly Naruto wrenched up behind Sasuke under his arms and behind his neck holding him in a full nelson.

"What are you going to do now Baka?" Sasuke asked calmly.

"This" had Sasuke not been a shinobi he probably would have had whiplash with how fast he moved his head to see two more Naruto's standing in front of him. The original or so Sasuke guessed had his hand held out while the other seemed to mold chakra in the open hand, soon it began to become a spinning ball of red chakra. Sasuke had never seen Naruto use this before, he had seemed to recall the Rasengan always made of blue chakra but this red chakra was emanating with extreme power.

'If I get hit with that I'm gone' Sasuke thought, he quickly began to struggle from his captors hold, suddenly he got one hand free he quickly reached for his weapons holder drawing a kunai, he whipped around stabbing the clone in the throat quickly it puffed away in smoke, but then the other clone now done with the original's hand flew at him but Sasuke quickly batted him away with and easy spin kick sending him into a tree, and quickly Sasuke charged Naruto, Naruto's face had not changed the entire battle, the sad depressed look. He knew there was no changing Sasuke's mind. Sasuke quickly lunged forward as Naruto stuck his hand out to try and hit Sasuke with it but suddenly Sasuke ducked and spun around Naruto then stabbing him in the side of the jaw. Naruto gurgled as blood began to trickle down the kunai then to the ground. Sasuke smiled evily as he then saw Naruto's teammates watching. Most unconscious, Shikamaru yelled loudly in despair.

"NARUTO!"

Suddenly the 'original' puffed away in a cloud of smoke as suddenly Sasuke heard the wind blowing behind him, but it was a different type of wind, like it was a vortex wind, looking behind him he saw Naruto with darkened eyes, he didn't want to do this. Sasuke smiled he knew Naruto would feel guilty, but suddenly he lunged at Naruto but quickly stopped in his tracks.

'WHAT? I cant move my body' Sasuke thought quickly now knowing what had happened, Shikamaru had used his Shadow Bind Jutsu.

"NARUTO NOW!" almost as soon as the words left Shikamaru's mouth Naruto's eyes went a blood red quickly driving the massive ball of red chakra into Sasuke's chest. Screaming loudly Sasuke cried in pain. Suddenly a large whole blew through his back. Suddenly, Sasuke fell to the ground and Naruto's eyes went from a blood red, to as sky blue. Naruto knew he had to do it. Naruto quickly looked up to his squad, all of them heavily injured but all of them even Choji made their way here. A small pouch caught Naruto's eye on the now dead corpse of Sasuke he picked it up looking inside found solider pills, he quickly brought them over to Shikamaru and the rest of the squad. There mission now, was to return the body…back to Konoha.

That Night

They decided to set up camp so they could rest for now, currently they had lots of time, and besides the only one really ready to move was Naruto. Shikamaru, Neji, and Kiba spoke in Shikamaru's tent speaking about how they would explain their predicament. Their mission was supposed to bring Sasuke back, but that was a failure. Naruto sat outside at the campfire, Choji sit their too eating a large bag of potato chips, Naruto from time to time glanced towards the sheet over his old teammates body. This was the second time he let Sakura down, he promised her Sasuke wouldn't leave, and he promised her he'd bring him back, but now. Now Sakura would hate him for life, his one love would hate him for life, but how would the rest of the village feel, the demon child killing their precious Genius, the last reminisce of the Uuchia clan. This would give the villagers one more reason to look down on them, as if Choji was reading Naruto's mind he finally spoke up.

"You'll be ok Naruto, you have your friends for you, no matter what the villagers say" Choji actually stopped eating when he said it looking over to Naruto.

"Thanks Choji" Naruto responded still, it didn't matter if the villagers had one more reason to try and exile him. It was Sakura. Sakura may try it now too, she'll now hate him forever. Naruto slowly drifted off beside the fire. Choji watched Naruto slowly drift off to sleep then looked towards Sasuke's body.

"Baka, why did you have to fight" Choji then slowly walked into Shikamaru's tent.

"We have to report to them what happened" Neji said honestly, looking to the others

"I know, I know. But what if they punish Naruto? Think of how the village sees him, loud, rambunctious." Shikamaru stated

"Annoying" Kiba cut in

"We and all of Naruto's friends have to stand by him for this, but you guys remember what he promised Sakura right?" Choji said aloud the others now noticing him entering the tent.

"Hai" they all said , they knew Sakura would be angry, or sad, but most definitely she would hate Naruto.

"Alright, will head back to Konoha tomorrow, early morning just incase Sound has sent anymore shinobi after us we can get home by nightfall. Understood?" Shikamaru said sternly issuing his orders.

"Hai" they all said in sync. They all marched out of Shikamaru's tent and into their own all looking at Naruto before entering their tents and turning in for the night. Before Neji slept he set up traps around the camp. Before entering his tent he looked at the sleeping Naruto beside the now fading fire.

"Rest Well friend, you will need your energy for tomorrow" Neji then turned and went into his tent.

The Next Day

The group awoke early just as the sun slowly peeked up over the clouds, quickly checking the perimeter; they looked over to see Naruto still by the now dead fire sleeping. They let him sleep as they began undoing their tents and putting them away. They again checked the perimeter just to be sure then they woke Naruto up. With a large yawn he looked around seeing it was morning. He stood up and then looked gloomly to the body of Sasuke .

"I hoped it was a dream" He stated almost deafly to anyone who wasn't right beside him. He slowly formed his hand seals.

"Kage Bushin No Jutsu" A clone of Naruto puffed up out of thing air and then walked over to the body, Naruto helped the body onto the clones shoulder then quickly got into the same position Shikamaru had assigned when coming after … Sasuke. Slolwy the group made their way back through the forest along the main path, not running into anything except a caravan or two traveling by they quickened their pace, getting back to Konoha was the main goal now.

"Naruto slow down, were almost there anyway" Kiba yelled ahead to the gloomy blond headed boy, now noticing his speed he quickly slowed down. "almost there" he thought.

Suddenly the group stopped as three ANBU members appeared in front of them, Shikamaru came foreward.

"Returning from the Sasuke mission" Shikamaru stated clearly

The main ANBU member with a white cloak looked around, the mask then stumbled upon the sheet of the clone's shoulder, one that took the form of a body.

"It went badly I take it." he sighed, "Alright we were hoping he would come back alive but we shall escort you back to Hokage-Sama's office. She will want a briefing on these events." The Anbu member spoke without emotion, Naruto sank at this comment. They turned and then took formation around Shikamaru's group leading them back to Konoha.

About an hour or two later the group arrived back at the main gates of Konoha, the two Chunnin guarding the gates perked up at the sight of the large group returning, seeing the Anbu member in lead they signaled for the gate to be opened. The large doors opened, Naruto stared around like this was a place he had never been before, he knew this would all be different once word got around. The group all moved towards the Hokage monument and as almost in the blink of an eye , Naruto then noticed they were in front of Tsunade-Sama's door. The Anbu knocked once then opened the doors leading the 5 shinobi in the room.

"You are dismissed" the blond headed women said from behind her desk, hands behind her looking out a window. Without looking back she asked.

"I'm guessing it didn't go so well, he got away?" Tsunade turned around quickly noticing Naruto's gloomy face instead of his ridiculous smile, she glanced over and saw a 6th party, she saw it was a clone and then her eyes moved towards the sheet in a body shape. The clone put the body down neatly removing the sheet. Tsunade looked down upon the dead corpse of Uuchia Sasuke.

"What Happened?" Tsunade asked
