Hey sorry this took forover for me to update, but I'm not gonna make up any excuses. I didnt update because I'm lazy and I was a little dissapointed that I only got one review. I know sounds kinda selfish, but I began to think that maybe no one likes this story no more, so why should I bother. But then I started getting all of these crazy ideas in my head, so I was like what the hell! So thankyou to TwilightMelodiac who did review. This chapter is dedicated to you. xxxx
Sakura lay on her back all night going through the hand signs and other necessary routines for the jutsu that would release inner Sakura. It wasn't that complicated, it was just the aspect of focusing her chakra on the exact point where inner Sakura was sealed in her mind, which was almost impossible to find. When Sakura was finally satisfied that she had perfected it as best as she could, she finally closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Sakura woke to someone gently shaking her. Sitting up groggily Sakura realized that it was Sasuke. But to her surprise, she found no mocking smirk on his face taunting her about last night as she expected, but utter seriousness. He nodded to her, signalling that he agreed with her plan and that he had told Naruto and Killer Bee. Sakura nodded back and stood up, shaking off sleep. Looking around the camp she noticed Madara had pulled Deacon aside and was speaking to him in a hushed tone, making subtle glances in their direction. When he was finished, Deacon disappeared back into the woods in the opposite direction to where they were headed. Grinning Madara walked up to them "Let's get going then!" Madara gushed enthusiastically, but he was not met with the same enthusiasm. Naruto regarded him distastefully, his blue eyes blazing, Sasuke looked at him indifferently, Killer Bee glared at him arms folded defensively and Sakura eyed him coldly and with utter disgust.
Deacon stalked through the forest, blood red eyes blazing as he searched for his prey. But it seemed to be a lot more difficult than he had anticipated. Madara did say it was the copy ninja Kakashi Hatake, but that meant nothing to him. He smirked at that thought when he heard a branch snap, exactly thirty degrees to the right. Deacon threw a kunai in that direction and heard a thud. Grinning sadistically he strolled cockily over to where the now dead body of the copy nin lay. Deacon looked down at it disgustedly 'how pathetic' he mused. He turned around and was about run back to Madara, when his foot activated a trip wire and the next thing he knew he was hanging upside down from a tree. Cursing he pulled his body up and tried to untie the knot, but he found that the rope that binded him was made completely out of chakra that couldn't be severed except by the user. He cursed louder, his blood red eyes frantically searching the forest. "Very clever! Why don't you show your fucking face and let me see the fucker who beat me!" Deacon bellowed into the forest.
After a few minutes of silence, Kakashi revealed himself from behind a tree. He looked at the ninja hanging from the tree disbelievingly, he was worse than Naruto was when he was a genin! "Why Madara hired a cocky idiot like you, who fell for something like that, I have no idea." Kakashi pondered, eyeing Deacon curiously. Deacon smirked "Maybe that's what I want you to think." Deacon replied. Kakashi almost slapped himself on the forehead "Well pretending to fall for my trap, so I would underestimate you and you could kill me with my back turned, would have been smart if you hadn't of told me." Kakashi said dryly. Deacon paused realising his mistake. He snarled at Kakashi "Whatever!" he growled. "I'm going to make you wish that you never crossed paths with me!" Deacon warned.
Kakashi braced himself for whatever trick Deacon was about to play, when he was consumed in unbearable pain that hit him like a truck. Groaning he fell to his knees, glaring hatefully at Deacon who was grinning at him from his position in the tree. "Soon the pain will become too much and you'll do anything, even kill yourself to make it stop!" Deacon said sadistically. Kakashi looked at him incredulously "And what will you do with yourself when I'm dead hmm? You'll be hanging from that tree until all of your blood drains to your head and it explodes!" Kakashi rasped out, trying to overcome the pain. Deacon thought on this for a few seconds then cried out in frustration "Fine I'll stop and we'll fight like men when you let me down. Deal?" Deacon snarled. Kakashi nodded, and then sighed in relief as the pain bled away.
"If you make one move other than to let me down, I'll do it again!" Deacon warned. Kakashi grunted in understanding, then withdrew his kunai from his pouch and cut through the chakra string. Deacon fell to the ground with a thud. Standing up arrogantly Deacon brushed dirt off himself then smiled creepily at Kakashi. "You didn't really think I would play fair did you?" Deacon asked snobbishly. Kakashi regarded him for a second "No." He replied bluntly. Deacon's smile slid from his face "Then why didn't you kill me when I released you from my jutsu?" Deacon asked bewildered. Kakashi shrugged, then sighed "Your starting to bore me now. You're not worthy of my time." Kakashi drawled, and before Deacon had anytime to retaliate, Kakashi slid his mask down revealing his sharingan and Deacon was sucked into the red and black word of the Mangekyou. After what was only two seconds in the real world, Deacon's body slumped to the ground and into the fetal position. Kakashi watched as the man rocked back and forth, and rolled his eyes "Not a nice feeling was it? You've now been driven completely insane and soon things will become too much for you and you'll end up killing yourself." Kakashi mocked, but received no response, but Deacon looking wide eyed at him. With that Kakashi turned on his heel and began to tail Madara and his students.
Time seemed to move exceptionally slow for Sakura, but she was grateful for it as it gave her more time to spend with Naruto. After what seemed like years of walking through the smouldering heat of the desert they arrived at the cave. Every cell in her body was urging her to turn on her heel, grab Naruto and run, but Sakura knew she wouldn't get far. So instead she watched passively as Madara sauntered into the middle of the cave and formed some very complicated hand seals. Suddenly there was a deep rumbling, and spouting from the ground where ten creepy looking statues. Seven of them where glowing and Sakura thought that meant that they had the other tailed demons sealed inside them.
Madara spun round to face them, his eyes blazing madly. He gestured for Killer Bee too come forward. Killer Bee looked at the three members of team seven and grinned at them, but he was grabbed forcibly by the larger one of Peins bodies and flung to the floor where he was pinned down. The other bodies surrounded the trio, keeping their watchful ringed eyes on their every movement. Madara began forming the necessary hand seals; that was their cue. Naruto summoned many dozens of shadow clones that pounced on the bodies of Pein. Sasuke formed his chidori and began slicing through the bodies. Sakura jumped back gaining as much distance as she could and began forming the necessary hand signs to release Inner Sakura.
Abruptly one of the bodies broke through Naruto and Sasuke and charged toward Sakura, kunai at the ready. Sakura gritted her teeth. She couldn't do anything while forming the hand signs! Sakura closed her eyes and braced herself for the attack, when she heard the familiar chirping of a chidori. Opening her eyes she saw Kakashi standing defensively in front of her. He turned his head and Sakura could tell from the crinkle under his eye that he was smiling at her. Sakura smiled back and nodded at him.
Sasuke frowned destroying these bodies was harder than he thought; they just kept getting back up again. Gritting his teeth he bellowed to Naruto "Get out of the way!" Naruto glanced at him, and then heard the agonizing shrieks of Killer Bee. With a determined look on his face, he barged through the bodies of Pein and rushed towards Madara, rasengan in hand. Naruto could faintly here Sasuke calling for him, yelling at him to come back, but he ignored it and jumped into the air and was about to slam his rasengan into Marara's body when he was abruptly sucked into Madara's sharingan and into an empty world. He spun round frantically, looking for a way out but there was none.
Sasuke watched angrily as Naruto charged recklessly towards Madara, only to be sucked into his sharingan. 'Still an idiot' he thought. Naruto was supposed to get away from the cave so Madara wouldn't get him if they failed. But no, he practically just gave himself to Madara. Cursing under his breath as one of the bodies slashed across his chest, Sasuke's sharingan spun wildly releasing ameratsu. The bodies were consumed in black flames, and this time they didn't get back up again.
Madara glanced angrily over at Sasuke, Peins bodies were destroyed, leaving him open. He smirked at Sasuke as Killer Bee's shrieking stopped and one of the statues now glowed mockingly at him. Killer Bee's transition was complete. But before Madara could get Naruto out of the strange world he had sent him to, something rammed into his body. Madara staggered a little, and then regained his composure. He stared at his hands curiously, and then a wicked grin spread onto his face "I'm free!" He bellowed.
Sasuke glanced back at Sakura, who was bent over panting. She nodded at him signifying that she had done it. Inner Sakura was now in Madara. Sakura strolled up to Madara's body "You have to release Naruto. Madara sucked him in somewhere with his sharingan." Sakura explained. Inner Sakura nodded, then Naruto came out of nowhere, spinning around like a mad man. When he saw the familiar faces of team seven, he smiled assuming that they had succeeded. But he was proven wrong when Inner Sakura in Madaras body came up behind him and wacked him on the head, rendering him unconscious. Sakura gasped "What did you do that for?" Sakura demanded. Madara grinned "So I can release the ten tails of course." He explained. Sakura's eyebrows furrowed in confusion "Did it not work?" she questioned. Madara grinned "Oh it worked. I'm you alright." Inner Sakura said. "Then why on earth do you want to release the ten tails?" Sakura questioned confusedly. Inner Sakura scowled at Sakura "Because stupid, the ten tails is our master! He's the one that made us this way. The Haruno's have been trying to release him for centuries! We are his loyal servants. Imagine what type of reward he will give us for releasing him!" Inner Sakura ranted a dreamy but crazed look on her face. Sakura stepped back shocked "You're insane! I won't allow you to do this!" Sakura shouted determinedly. Inner Sakura's expression went dark; an evil grin spread across her face "We could have been amazing. But I guess I was always the strong one. You where always the weak one! Oh well I had no real use of you anyway and you can't stop me Sakura!" Inner Sakura mocked as she cackled evilly.
