Hed had that nightmare again.
They were standing there, all five of them, in the Forest of Death, which still looked as ominous as ever. Creatures were moving about, rustling in the bushes and trees, but no one cared about them. They were not moving an inch, waiting for someone to make the first move. Naruto, being the most impatient out of the five, suddenly performed the seals for Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Four clones burst out of nowhere, three of them charged towards Itachi, while one stayed behind with the real Naruto, preparing Narutos ultimate jutsu, Futon: Rasenshuriken.
Naruto! Sakura cried, What are you doing? Hes seen that attack before; you cant get him with it!
I dont care! Naruto yelled, Hes caused so much damage, so much pain, and yet he still has the guts to come back here and cause more, its sick! Im gonna tear him apart!
Itachi easily disposed of the three clones and prepared for Narutos Rasenshuriken. The last clone disappeared and Naruto raised the Rasenshuriken above his head.
This is it for you! Naruto yelled as he charged forward.
What a fool, does he really think he can get me by charging head on? Itachi thought. Naruto grinned and kept on charging ahead, suddenly, another Naruto leapt out from behind Itachi and grabbed his arms rendering him defenceless.
Idiot! Im the real Naruto! said the Naruto behind Itachi. The clone continued charging towards Itachi, making sure not to look directly into his eyes. As soon as it was about to drive the Rasenshuriken through his stomach Itachi turned his head to Naruto behind him.
And you think Im the real Itachi? he whispered menacingly.
The place where Naruto and Itachi had been was filled with dust. Sakura looked at Sasuke.
Whats happening? she asked.
I dont know, Sasuke replied. He looked at Kakashi.
I cant see either, he said.
The dust cleared, everyone looked on in shock as they saw Naruto, with a huge bloody hole in his stomach. Sakura was the first to react. She ran over to Naruto and immediately started to heal him. Sasuke and Kakashi followed.
Wh
What happened? Sasuke asked.
Itachi
disappeared
Naruto whispered hoarsely.
Dont speak, Sakura said, desperately trying not to cry. Green light surrounded her hands as she tried to stop the bleeding, but it made no difference.
Stop Sakura, youre just wasting chakra, Kakashi said as he tried to pull her away from Naruto.
How could Itachi just disappear like that? Sasuke asked.
I dont know, replied Kakashi. Naruto opened his mouth and whispered something the rest of the team could not hear.
What was that, Naruto? said Sakura as she leaned closer to him, tears running down her face.
Ka
ge
Bun
shin
he whispered.
Kage Bunshin, Sakura repeated.
I see, so just before Narutos clone struck, Itachi made his own clone disappear so Narutos clone hit Naruto, Kakashi said.
Very good, Kakashi, Itachi said from standing on top of a tree branch. Kakashi fell into a fighting stance.
Stay here with Naruto, I'll handle him, Kakashi said.
But Kakashi-sensei
Sakura said but Kakashi was already running towards Itachi.
Sas
uke
whispered Naruto. Sasuke knelt down beside Naruto.
Yes? said Sasuke.
Kill
him
said Naruto, then he breathed his last breath.
Naruto-kun
said Sakura.
Yes, Naruto, said Sasuke, tears streaming down his face, I promise, I will kill Itachi! He stood up.
Sasuke-kun, what are you doing?! Sakura said.
Im going to fulfill my promise, he said, and ran towards where Kakashi and Itachi were currently fighting.
Sasuke-kun
dont die, Sakura said to no one.
Sasuke entered the battle.
If hes here then I guess that means the Kyuubi brat is finally dead, thought Itachi. Sasuke performed a set of hand seals and his hand started glowing with blue chakra.
This is my fight, he said to Kakashi. Kakashi reluctantly nodded his head and backed away. Sasuke starting charging towards Itachi but just before he reached him Itachi dodged and Sasukes Chidori hit a tree. He pulled his hand out, which was still glowing blue, and turned around to look for Itachi. Then, Itachi suddenly appeared in front of him and Sasuke looked into his eyes for a split second, but that split second was all he needed.
Shit! Shit! Shit! Sasuke thought.
The sky turned red and he was once again in Konoha. Bodies were strewn across the street, covered in blood, but this time it wasnt the bodies of the Uchiha clan, it was the bodies of all his friends, the ones he cared for most. It wasnt just his team, it was Rock Lee, Ino, Shikamaru, Neji, Hinata and many others, heck even the ramen girl was there. All lying dead before him. Itachi was laughing manically, standing above Sakuras body. She was still alive, but only just. Itachi brought down his sword to give the final blow.
Sasuke woke up with a start, sweat pouring down his face. He looked out of the window, it was sunrise and he could see people starting to wake and go about their daily ninja lives. It had been a month since that incident had happened, yet he was still having nightmares.
I better go see Kakashi-sensei, he muttered to himself. He got out of bed and started getting dressed.
