Love never dies

Chapter 18

When they stopped for a break, the Uzu ninjas immediately regrouped and sat around, talking quietly and eating. Someone must have said something funny because one of them got smacked over the head and the rest were laughing. Once they got up to continue on their journey, the ninjas scattered. Sasuke somehow drifted towards the couple and was chatting quietly with the two, surprising the other Konoha nins. The two Uzu hadn't been willing to talk with more than a sentence tops with any of them but here Sasuke is, chatting with them. Sasuke is also not the talkative type!
Sasuke and Itachi looked at each other when Naruto released the older Uchiha's hand. "3o'clock... 6 o'clock... 9 o'clock... 12 o'clock... Top and bottom... We are surrounded." Naruto murmured quietly for a few to hear, once she finished her sentence a few kunais were dropped. Naruto without thinking threw herself in front of the two Uchihas, the exploding tags attached to the kunai went off and sent her flying away from the group. Ninjas descended and held weapons to their necks, threatening to kill. No one moved for a bit and a few more ninjas emerged from the bushes, holding the other Uzu ninjas, a blade to their throats. "What the f*?" Everyone turned towards the voice as the smoke started to clear a little more to see the short Uzu nin pinned to the tree with a sword driven through both hands and the tree, hands above their head.
Itachi heard Sasuke make a quiet noise in the back of his throat. Itachi knows exactly what he was feeling, they were both worried for the blond's safety but no one moved to help. "Why the f* aren't you screaming?"
"Oh! Am I suppose to?" Naruto asked mockingly, the enemies heard a few snickering in amusement.
"Well, well your friends value their lives more than yours. You look like a pretty one... I wouldn't mind taking you." Sasuke felt his heart jolt in fear for Naruto but everyone got surprised by her laughter. It was so melodic yet it sounds so cruel at the same time. "You... Ahahahah you think I am still a pretty little virgin? Ahahahah." Everyone tensed or flinched in shock, Itachi had known but he still reacted to his fiancée's cruel childhood.
"Well tough luck big boy! I had been raped many times over to even count with my fingers and toes! And they say young ones are the best don't they? Their body nice and soft but guess what? Some of them just aren't as new as the older ones!" Naruto snarled, feeling her emotions get the better of her. The ninja towering over her took a step back involuntarily at the pure venom in her tone. Then another surprise appeared when an Uzu nin just emerged from the tree slightly above her but his body still looked as if it was in the tree. "Yo."
"Oh hey Tobi."
"Are your arms tired?" Tobi asked nonchalantly, much to the utter horror of the Konoha ninjas and the enemies. "Well duh, gah, I can feel the blood running down my arm."
"That's gotta feel gross." Tobi replied, they were holding the conversation like it was an everyday thing to be surrounded by enemies and pinned to the tree by a sword.
"Ohhhh. You can run chakra through this sword! Do you think fire would emerge from it if I ran my chakra through it?" Tobi asked excitedly.
"Uh.. That's a sword for lightning." As is proving her point, lightning cackled from it. Naruto took the chance of the momentarily distracted enemies and sent a harsh kick to the groin and swung her legs up to round house kick the man in the face. Tobi morphed out the of the tree and pulled the sword with him as he left, freeing Naruto. She appeared next to Sasuke's enemy and kicked him away into Itachi's holder. Everyone watched in fascination as Sasuke and the Uzukage perform a jutsu in the most perfect synchronisation and their jutsus hit each other, creating huge white clouds of mist that enveloped them all due to the fire ball and water hitting each other. No one dared to make a move but felt the air shift a few times and when the mist was blown clear by a huge gust of wind that was clearly made by a person, many of the enemies was down on the ground and a few were cowering in fear at the feet of the small Uzu, now that they know the gender, she was leaning casually on long sword that has not yet been unsheathed, intricate craving decorated the sheath making it look magnificently beautiful - one that you wouldn't imagine someone would use in battle. Her hands were still bleeding but she doesn't seem to care. "What did you want from us?"
"... We, we felt really strong and dangerous chakra from your group-"
"And you decided to take all of us on? Are you stupid?" Naruto asked and she could hear her bodyguards snickering. "You guys are extremely idiotic, I feel bad for you guys. We have S-ranked ninjas here and they could have killed you without battling a single eyelash."
"Well, why didn't they help you?"
"Because... You picked the wrong person to mess with, messing with an s-ranked ninja you're probably just reckless and cocky, but messing with the kage themselves, you are clearly an idiot that thinks you're invincible." Naruto said seriously before sending the hilt of the sword to their heads, knocking them out without them even realising until it was too late. She was pinching her sword carefully with her fingers to avoid getting blood onto it. The one that always held her hand rushed to her and another followed behind, taking the sword from her to avoid accidentally getting blood on it and so Itachi had an easier time cleaning her hands. Now that she no longer house the kyuubi, her healing slowed but it was still faster than a normal human being's.
