Criminal | A Modern Day Narusasu

{ Chapter 30 }

With Naruto-kun

Naruto hummed as he was led to the trial room. He wasn't glad about it, but what could he do? He didn't know where Shikamaru was. He needed him. They were a duo. Without the genius, Naruto was nothing. And if he was nothing, how was he to find and take revenge on the Akatsuki? He had accepted defeat the moment he was captured. The moment he realized Sasuke had betrayed him. The moment he realized the person he loved never loved him back.

Flashback Time

"Why do you supposedly care about me anyways?"

"..." Silence. This made Naruto uneasy. Until Sasuke started talking again.

"Because I lo-"

CRASH (FBI OPEN UP)

"THIS IS THE SWAT TEAM STAY PUT!"

'It was a set up?! Oh I should've known!'

"Sasuke you bitch-"

"Naruto Uzumaki put your hands up!"

End of Flash Back Time

How could he forget that day? The day he was betrayed by the person he cared about the most. Sure, other people might let it go rather quickly, but this was Naruto. Nevertheless, he continued to hum. Unconsciously, he was humming to Dakiti, one of Sasuke's favorite songs. When he realized what he was doing, he almost stopped walking. The officer that was escorting him noticed the change.

"Come on Uzumaki."

"Huh? Oh right! Sorry." Naruto continued walking, this time humming to Savage Love or sum idk.

Skips To Trial

"And with that, let the execution begin." Naruto was led outside, where a dude with a mask was standing. With an axe.

"How old fashion.." he mumbled. He was led up to the stone stand.

"Uhhhh are you guys just gonna watch me die..?"

"Yes!" The judge replied happily. The crowd of about 30 just stared at him.

"Okay.. weird but okay..." Naruto started kneeling down, and soon put his head on that stand thing.

Welp, time to die. No more chasing the Akatsuki down. No more revenge for my parents. No more Sasuke moments. Like when he came home drunk and I had to carry him up to his room. Or when I snooped around his closet. Wonder who he uses those things on... Also when he was shouting at me for throwing the tomatoes into the neighbors' chimney. And when I hugged him when I brought me ramen without me asking him. Ah, we spent a good two weeks together... Especially me huh? Ha, how funny..

"Alright, on the count of one. Three, two, one-" The executioner swung his axe.

It's over.

A hot second later, Naruto didn't feel his head chopped off. He opened his eyes, and saw the executioner frozen. He looked to his front and saw a particular raven.

Sasuke. Sasuke? Wait what is he doing here? Oh wait, just here to laugh at the guy he took advantage of and emotionally played with.

"Everyone get out of here! There's an Akatsuki member among us!"

Naruto's eyes widened. An Akatsuki member? Suddenly, he felt himself being helped up. He looked to his right and saw his friend.

"Shikamaru?" He instantly hugged him tightly.

"You bitch.. why didn't you come for me sooner?"

"I barely found out you were being held captive. I think the Akatsuki messed with the police files or something. Just get some cover," Shikamaru said as he pulled away.

"Ah, of course. But what's the duckbutt doing here?" he whispered to him.

"He was the one who pretty much planned this whole thing." Naruto was surprised. Wait, so had Sasuke betrayed him or not? This was very confusing to his small brain. Suddenly Shikamaru pushed his head down.

"Damn it.. Naruto stay down, I'll take care of this." Shikamaru got back up, Naruto right alongside him.

"You're not taking care of this yourself. What are friends for if they leave all the trouble to the other? We'll do this together!" Naruto beamed. Shikamaru couldn't help but smile slightly. Only Naruto would be ready to die right after he was about to be killed. Let's see if he cheats death again.

Sasuke and Neji were busy fighting Deidara and Sasori. tHeY tHrEw PuNcHeS hErE aNd ThErE, tHe FoUr Of ThEm DoDgInG eAcH oNe. OoOoOoOoO sO iNtErEsTiNgGgGGgGGG.

I literally can't write a damn fight. It ain't my style T-T I'm more of a damn love story not fighting I can't do this 💩

Chidoris were thrown, 64 palms. There were clay statues everywhere and oh, so many puppets. Knives were being thrown around everywhere and anywhere. (NOT THE SUITS)

"How many people we got on us Shika?"

"Hmm, apparently only this dude." Shikamaru looked to where the knife came from, and there you saw him. A dude with an orange mask.

"Hey! Orange is my color-"

"This is no time to fool around Naruto. Get ready to fight whether you want to or not." Shikamaru got into his fighting stance, the blond only a second after.

"Well isn't this going to be fun? Getting rid of two pesky children will be easy.."

The orange-masked man ran at them and started attacking Naruto. He tried kicking him, but Naruto dodged.

"Hm, you're faster than I anticipated."

Shikamaru tried to kick him from behind, but his leg went right through the orange man's body.

"Nice try." He jumped back, and sunk into the ground on impact.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Naruto shouted.

"How am I supposed to know? 💀"

"BRUH HE CAN LIKE, FAZEEE??? WHAT THE FUCK-"

"Oh shut up, we don't have time for this. Just cover me." Shikamaru went into his thinking stance, confusing Naruto and I since we don't know how he could just like, do that in the middle of the fighting area-

"Sure whatever, just gonna ignore the fact that this dude can literally like, not be solid anymore or something. Yeah, for sure." He suddenly felt a leg kicking his side, and he was flung to his left. The orange man had kicked his right arm.

"Agh, fuck he kicks hard.." Naruto didn't have time to complain though, he wasn't there to protect Shikamaru. He ran at the masked man, forming a rasengan in his right hand despite being kicked there, and almost hit him. His hand went right through the orange man. He suddenly sunk into the ground, and reappeared behind Naruto. Naruto was quick enough to turn around and graze orange man's arm though, but was kicked in the head soon after. He stumbled to the side, his vision unfocused. He swayed the tiniest bit once he regained his posture. I can't let a simple kick affect me! Come on, Shikamaru's thinking! You gotta protect him!

He came at the orange man again, this time with two rasengans, one on each hand. Now if he dodges one, I can use the other one! He tried hitting him, but the masked man dodged. That caused Naruto to lunge at him, hitting him again, but in the leg. I got him!

His celebration was soon over though, cause he got kicked in the head again, and once more after that. His vision was blurred by now.

"Naruto!" Naruto turned to where the noise was coming from, and saw Shikamaru's tensed expression. Unfortunately, the blond was then punched in the stomach, causing him to fly back. He landed on his feet somehow, panting. He was severely injured although only being hit very little. This was a strong opponent. Naruto saw the orange-masked man going for Shikamaru again, and started running.

I'm not letting this wanna-be touch my friend!

Naruto tried kicking the orange man, only for his leg to go through him. Once again, he sunk into the ground, only to reappear behind the blond.

"It's about time I got rid of you.." Naruto ducked, barely dodging another kick to the head. He swiftly kicked the orange man off his feet, but he sunk back in the ground, and before you knew it. Naruto blacked out to the sudden pain on the side of his head.
