"A man who trained his men to be emotionless weapons couldn't tell the worth of a Shinobi or jinchuuriki... and I refuse someone like him to grade me!"
Uzumaki Naruto
Koishi no Kuni (Country of Pebbles)
Shisui was furious that ROOT had had them, but he and Itachi would get their revenge soon or they're not Uchiha. The ROOT members who were unlucky enough to get trapped by Naruto's sticky ground seal were on their mercy now.
"Where have you guys taken him?" Shisui hissed as he readied another senbon laced with lightning chakra to be put in another non-vital but no less painful spot in the ROOT member's body.
Their hostages were incapacitated with binding seals and strong genjutsu, Itachi and Shisui didn't want to take chances. It was their luck that the ROOT teams were stuck on the ground when they found them, if any of them broke free they would be outnumbered again.
However, that was as far as their luck went since none of the ROOT members answered. They were all as stiff and silent as a doll and seemed incapable of betraying their master. Itachi frowned at their lack of response and then forced one of them to open their jaws. As expected there was a seal on their tongues that resembled Chinese binary codes. This must be the 'Iwazaru no Fuuin' Danzou stole from the tower. Itachi and Shisui contemplated stepping up their interrogation to get around the seal, but unfortunately, they didn't have time to waste on torturing Danzou's puppets. Considering what kind of life they've had so far, Itachi and Shisui thought a quick and painless death was an act of mercy on the ROOT members. Hopefully, in the next reincarnation, they would have a better life.
The Uchiha cousins then went in search of their friend, and not even once did they look back at the six burning corpses they left behind.
Those who descended from the Uzumaki clan were blessed with special chakra. Their branch family could use their chakra for various purposes, such as healing, but it pales in comparison to the main family. The main family's special chakra was more potent than normal chakra, which was why in spite of it not being elemental in nature, it could materialize and move at the user's will without a medium. However, this special chakra of theirs had its drawbacks. It was so potent that it burned out their chakra coils, making it extremely painful to use for those with undeveloped chakra coils. This was why even though Uzumaki children of the main family awakened it at eight, they never used it more than for ritual purposes during their coming of age ceremony, which required a very little amount to show what kind of shape their chakra took.
Most of them didn't even use their special chakra for battle until their coils are fully developed. Usually starting at twelve, an Uzumaki would be able to use their special chakra sparingly. Hakurei had warned him not to use more than three chains at once, since while Kurama's healing could prevent the worst of the damage does not mean he should abuse it when he could avoid it.
Naruto was sure Hakurei would be really angry if he knew what just happened. Not only did he go against Hakurei's warning, but he had also done so to save two ROOT kids. He was dangling in the air, right in the middle of the ravine with four chains deeply rooted to the cliff face while the other two chains coiled around Sai and his brother. There are only two words to describe his position, oh shit.
When he saw that Sai was waking up he couldn't help but ask: "Hello Sai, how about a temporary truce?" He offered as the boy blinked owlishly at their situation, "As you can see... one of your teammates fucked up and blew us away, so here we are... dangling like idiots. Can you draw something to get us out of here? We can settle our mess later the moment our feet touch the ground."
Sai narrowed his eyes at Naruto, "Why should I help you? Wouldn't it be more beneficial for me to capture you here?"
Naruto snorted, "What makes you think you have the upper hand now Sai?" He wondered out loud, "Just for your information, my chains are still coiling around your waist and I can kill you if I want." Sai frowned at that, "And I can get myself out of this mess, but the only reason I didn't is that I only have enough strength to pull myself up and I would have had to let you and your brother go."
