Twisted

Chapter 5

Part 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

"Wait a minute, there's no one in here," Chouji proclaimed as he looked about the small room.

Shikamaru looked at the ceilings and saw red smoke coming out from the ceilings. "Everyone don't breathe the air," ordered Shikamaru, covering his nose.

The rest of his team helped Shikamaru pull the door open then tried to push it open when they heard a dark chuckle from behind them.

"Naruto, this is no time for laughing," Shikamaru said angrily as he glanced back at Naruto.

Chouji and Ino turned to look at Naruto, who had an evil smirk on his face.

At that moment, Shikamaru realized that the Naruto standing in front of him was a fake. Naruto didn't say stuff like 'It was I, Uzumaki Naruto, who thought that up' anymore. It was also unthinkable that Kakashi-sensei would think that staying in one place would be a good strategy when you can easily get caught that way. Why hadn't he noticed it before.

"You're not Naruto. Who are you?" Shikamaru glared at the impostor and saw a flash of red in his eyes. It can't be…

"I'm disappointed at you, Nara. I thought that you of all people would pose a challenge. You easily fell into my trap. If this is what the best tactician in Konoha could only do then you're not worth your title," a deeper darker voice came out from Naruto's mouth. Naruto's features began to change into Sasuke.

Chouji attempted to punch Sasuke but his hand went through Sasuke's body.

"Don't worry, you'll get to see the others later." With that he disappeared into thin air. They all noticed that smoke filled the room faster that it did before. They covered their noses but it was to no avail, they couldn't hold their breath any longer and had no choice but to inhale the red smoke that has filled the room.

"How?" Shikamaru asked himself before falling into oblivion.

Rousing from his slumber, Naruto noticed that he was currently imprisoned in a sort of cage made up of blue chakra. He then immediately stood up and tried pull to chakra bars apart. He barely touched the cage's bars when the cage's force field threw him away from it.

"Kuso!" Naruto cursed as he stood up, dusted himself and tried to pull the bars apart once again. He was instantly sent back sprawling on the ground.

"Dobe. No matter how many times you try to pull the bars of that cage it won't open especially if you just use your physical strength."

Naruto's eyes widen as he looked to the right. He was then face to face with Sasuke, who was with Kai and two other Sound nins. He tried to open the cage once more but was sadly thrown back again.

"Teme. Where is Sakura-chan? What have you done to the others?" he shouted angrily at the Uchiha, who looked at him with no emotions whatsoever on his face.

"Idiot. Do you really like to be sprawled all over the floor?"

"Answer my question first, you teme!" Naruto screamed at Sasuke.

"Should we kill him, Otokage-sama?" inquired one of the Sound nins.

Sasuke raised his hand to silence them.

"If you're thinking that I am currently holding Sakura against her will here in Oto then you're wrong," Sasuke answered calmly.

"What? But, you were the one who was looking for her? And she disappeared when you did after the battle," Naruto pointed out as he tried to get out once again.

"True. But as I already told you she's not with me. Itachi got hold of her before I did," Sasuke said with venom in his voice as he spoke of his older brother.

"I don't understand. Why would Itachi kidnap Sakura-chan," he asked confused at all that was happening.

Sasuke turned to his subordinates and commanded, "Leave us." His subordinates immediately did his bidding although they were reluctant to leave their leader alone with an enemy.

"You still didn't tell me what happened to my team mates. Where are they? What have you done to them?" Naruto asked furiously.

Sasuke studied Naruto as he stood up from the floor. "Did Tsunade announced you as the Rokudaime yet?"

"I don't give a damn about that right now. I want to know what happened to the others, who came here with me."

"Hn. If you want to know what happened to your precious friends then I suggest that you answer my question."

Naruto glared at him with hatred before relenting to answer his questions with a sigh. He didn't want his friends to be harmed. It has been many years since Sasuke left Konoha for power and Naruto didn't know how twisted his once close friend had become throughout the years he had spent with the snake.

"She is going to announce me as Hokage when I get back from this mission but she already told the elders that I am to be the next Hokage. Basically, I'm the new Hokage but it is still not announced formally."

"Hn. I have an offer for you. If you help me locate and rescue Sakura, I will free you and the rest of the Konoha nins, who came here with you."

"What? I still can't make decisions like that."

"But you will be able to. If you're not satisfied with that then I would also ally Otogakure and myself to Konoha."

"Fine. But I'll need to ask baa-chan about this," Naruto said hesitantly.

"Another thing Sakura would stay here with me in Oto."

"You can't do that. Sakura-chan has the right to choose where she will live. It is not for us to decide," Naruto protested angrily.

"Do you accept these terms of the treaty or not? Akatsuki is composed of really powerful criminals and that their main base is so well hidden that no one can find them."

"So?"

"We also know that many nins from Oto and Konoha lost their lives during the war and because of that both of our villages' power are diminished. With each other's help we could save a lot of time looking for her," Sasuke added, trying to convince Naruto.

Naruto didn't speak for a while. Sasuke's offer was good but he didn't want Sakura to suffer under Sasuke's care. In Oto, Sasuke would be in complete control of Sakura's life and he didn't want that.

"I agree except for the part that Sakura stays with you and I still have to ask Tsunade-baa-chan. But why do you want Sakura to live in Oto anyways? I thought you didn't care about her."

"You do know that my second goal was to rebuild the Uchiha clan," Sasuke replied nonchalantly.

"You! You bastard. You just want to make Sakura your baby-making machine!"

"I thought that you of all people would understand. I thought you know that I'm better than that."

"To tell you the truth, Sasuke, I don't know anymore what I think about you anymore," Naruto said sorrowfully.

He didn't say anything in return instead he did some complicated handseals in a very fast manner after which, Naruto saw the cage's bars disappeared into thin air.

Sasuke silently went to his desk grabbed some papers and a pen, and gave it to Naruto. "Write to them. I would let you choose four nins that you can trust to bring the letter to Konoha except for you, Hinata and Kakashi. You can give that letter to them to be handed to Tsunade."

"Why do you want us to stay here?"

"I am just making sure that Konoha would not attempt to attack us when the word gets back to Konoha that you are imprisoned here in Oto. Also tell them that I will not harm you or the others until we receiver their reply."

Naruto took the papers and pen from Sasuke's hands and started to write.

Dear Baa-chan,

This is Naruto. We are currently staying in Sound's base. I have talked to the new Otokage and confirmed that Sakura is not with him. We have also reliable sources that Akatsuki was behind Sakura's kidnapping. Sasuke proposed that we work together in searching for Sakura in return Oto would become an ally of Konoha but with the conditions that Sakura would stay here in Oto. We need to know if you will agree to it or not. Sasuke promised that we would remain unharmed until we received your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Naruto

P.S. Everyone is fine. Shino, Neji, Yamato and Shikamaru would be returning there in a few days. Kakashi, Hinata and I would remain here in Oto. Sasuke would also be sending some of his important men with Shino and the others so as to ensure our safety here in Oto.

"Done?" Sasuke asked when he noticed that Naruto stopped writing. "So who are the people to you have chosen to return to Konoha?"

"Aa. I chose Shino, Neji, Yamato-taichou and Shikamaru. You also have to send some of the most important men under you to Konoha as well."

Sasuke smirked. So you chose the prodigies so as if ever that rest of you will be killed at least Konoha wouldn't lose too much. "It seems your IQ has increased since I was gone."

"Teme! You haven't changed that much your still a cold hearted teme."

"But you're the same dobe that can be easily be provoked."

Sasuke pressed something under his desk. After a few minutes, Kai went in the room. "You called Sasuke-sama."

"Send the prisoners to the meeting room when they regain their consciousness. Naruto and I will be waiting there."

A/N: Hey everyone. Thanks for reading once again. And you were right it wasn't the real Naruto. :)
