Our bond, made a new life

The night he abandoned me and the day I was kidnapped Ch.4

Third-Person's POV:

Naruto's eyes fluttered open in the dead of night, a sudden chill rousing him from sleep. He turned to the side, reaching out for Sasuke, only to find the bed empty and cold. The familiar warmth and presence that had been his solace was now missing. His heart raced with a mixture of confusion and concern as he sat up, the shadows of the room seeming to stretch and warp in his anxious gaze. Naruto's mind raced through a torrent of worries-had something happened? Why was Sasuke not beside him? He pushed aside the tangled sheets and slipped out of bed, the silence of the night amplifying his unease. Desperate to find Sasuke, he began to search the dimly lit room, feeling an unsettling sense of abandonment that left him more unsettled than he cared to admit.

Naruto's heart ached with determination as he prepared to leave Konohagakure in search of Sasuke, fully aware of his location but feeling the weight of the journey ahead. He packed his essentials, the resolve in his eyes betraying the depth of his resolve. With a final glance at the place he called home, Naruto set out, his mind solely focused on finding Sasuke and bringing him back, no matter the cost.

The path to Sasuke was fraught with peril, and Naruto pushed himself beyond his limits as he traversed treacherous terrain and faced numerous challenges. Despite knowing Sasuke's whereabouts, the journey was not without its obstacles. Naruto encountered hostile enemies and unforgiving weather, each hardship testing his endurance. His body bore the brunt of the relentless strain, injuries accumulating as he fought off attackers and struggled through harsh conditions, but his willpower kept him moving forward.

Exhausted and battered, Naruto finally reached the vicinity of Sasuke's hideout, his physical pain a mere echo of his emotional turmoil. He collapsed against a rocky outcrop, his energy waning as he fought to stay conscious. The sight of Sasuke's location was within reach, but Naruto's injuries threatened to overwhelm him. Despite the agony, his resolve remained unshaken, fueled by the hope of seeing Sasuke again and the promise he had made to himself

Naruto's heart raced with confusion and fear as Itachi Uchiha, with his cold, calculating gaze, emerged from the shadows. The night had taken a sinister turn as Itachi, a figure from Naruto's troubled past, advanced with a chilling calmness. In a swift, coordinated move, Itachi ensnared Naruto, his powerful abilities leaving no room for escape. Naruto struggled, his mind reeling with the implications of being captured by the very man he had hoped to overcome. The realization that Itachi had seized him, the one who had once been a looming threat and now seemed to loom even larger, sent a wave of dread crashing over him. Bound and vulnerable, Naruto's thoughts raced as he tried to comprehend the gravity of the situation and what Itachi's intentions might be...

Naruto's POV:

Despite the searing pain from the deep wounds across my body, I faced Itachi with unyielding determination. Each breath came with a grimace as I fought through the agony, my vision blurring from the blood loss and exhaustion. The battlefield was a blur of shadows and jutsu, but my resolve was sharp and focused. Itachi's calm, calculating gaze seemed to pierce through my defenses, yet I refused to falter. Every strike I delivered was fueled by sheer willpower, pushing through the pain and the fear of failure. Each move was a testament to my strength and resilience, as I clung to the hope that I could turn the tide, no matter how battered or worn I felt.

I fought with every ounce of strength I had, desperately trying to fend off Itachi's relentless assault, but it was like battling a shadow that moved with eerie precision. Each strike I attempted was met with a counter so swift and devastating that I could barely keep up. The more I struggled, the more it felt like my energy was being drained away, leaving me increasingly vulnerable. As Itachi's sinister grin loomed closer, my resistance waned. In a final, agonizing moment of defeat, I felt his cold grip seize me, and before I could react, I was engulfed by darkness. Itachi's overpowering presence consumed me, and the world faded away as I was forcefully taken from the battlefield, my struggles and cries echoing into the void. As I passed out knowing that I was only a few feet away from Sasuke's hideout. I could've made it.
