Chapter 4: Scars

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."

-Khali

"Even if you kill me I'll still love you." She meant every word she said and he could tell, but yet he still found himself not believing her. His hands tightened burning her skin with the Kyuubi's chakra. Before he could say or do anything a large piece of wood knocked him off Sakura. Sakura coughed as she gasp for much-needed air.

"Sakura are you ok?" Sakura glanced over at her teammates while still coughing. It stung each time she would cough or even swallow. She must have third-degree burns on her neck since it stung so bad to even breathe. She could also feel the blood from her cheek run down her face. When she tried to stand up she winces most of her ribs were broken.

"Shit. That only made Naruto even more angry." Just as she heard those words a growl could be heard coming from behind her.

Sai quickly drew a lion and it soon came to life. "What did you do to dickless?" Sakura couldn't even speak so she only shook her head. Even in a serious life or death situation still Sai wouldn't let that "nickname" go.

The lion stood no chance of even holding off Naruto. "What do we do sempai?"

Kakashi lifts up his Hitai-ate to reveal his Sharingan he was hoping to catch Naruto in a genjutsu before something worse happens. "You two get Sakura I'll try to calm down or knock out Naruto."

"Hai!" Sai and Yamato say in unison.

Sai as quick as possible draws a hawk to cover Sakura as Yamato tried to use his wood style to get her. Kakashi meanwhile uses the distraction Sai unintended for, to catch Naruto off guard. Naruto got down on his hands like he was a fox ready to pounce. And pounce he did.

With speed unimaginable he was so close to Sakura that she could feel the anger and hatred emitting off of him. She feared that her time would come to an end any second just as he was preparing to finish her off. He was being held back by wood.

Kyuubi Naruto growled and tore his hand from the wood breaking it into smaller pieces. Meanwhile, Sakura was wrapped with wood and pulled back to Tenzin bracing the pain in her ribs.

"Sai take her to the hospital we'll handle Naruto." Without a second thought, Sai drew a hawk and picks up Sakura's mangled form and takes off. The pain was too much for Sakura to bare and passed out on the way to the hospital.

Sai made sure to keep a tight and lock grip on her so she wouldn't fall off. He concentrated deeply on getting them to their destination. The wound on her cheek oozed Kyuubi's chakra like that time when they encountered Orochimaru.

In no time, Sai reached the hospital he carried Sakura bridal style into the building. Immediately nurses gathered around him asking questions and taking Sakura away from him. He requested that one of the nurses get Tsunade quickly having a feeling she was going to be needed. He briefly wondered how Kakashi and Yamato were handling the Kyuubi issue.

Kakashi just barely managed to dodge an attack to his torso. His breathing became heavy with the struggles of trying to contain Kyuubified Naruto. Not to mention the Sharingan was wearing him out and depleting his chakra.

"How're you holding up?" He asked Tenzo while keeping a close eye on Naruto. All Naruto did at the moment was walk around in circles on all fours like an animal on the hunt for its next prey.

Tenzo and Kakashi stood back to back trying to discern the situation. "Good for now but we have to do something or we won't survive this." Kakashi bit the inside of his cheek thinking of possible ways to defuse the situation without any problems or in their case serious injuries.
