Third Person's POV

The moment Miyuki ask him to run away, without hesitation, he took Sakura and Naruto with him and ran. Miyuki and that guy went the opposite direction.

"Oi!! Sasuke! Let me go!! Oi! What the hell are you doing, teme?! You're leaving miyuki-chan alone?!" Naruto struggle to make Sasuke let him go.

They stop at a tree branch for a moment and slams Naruto against the tree trunk.

"you idiot! Can't you sense that guy?! He could kill us in an instant!! Miyuki sense that and asked me to bring you guys away too!!" Sasuke said.

Sakura and Naruto's eyes widen slightly.

Then Naruto frowned a second...

"Then what? You're gonna leave miyuki-chan all alone to fight her?" Naruto said.

"N-Naruto... Miyuki's way stronger than us, I even heard from Zabuza talking to Kakashi-sensei that she might be even stronger than Kakashi-sensei himself. I'm sure she can defeat him" Sakura said, though with a slight worry written on her face.

"Didn't you see her face previously?! Miyuki-chan's scared 'ttebayo!!" Naruto shouted.

"then what?! you're helping her?! You'll only get in her way you idiot!!" Sasuke said.

"I don't care if I get in the way!! At least I can be with her when she's scared! I'm not like you who keeps on finding reasons to save your sorry ass!! Aren't you scared yourself?!" Naruto said.

Sasuke's eyes widen.

A sudden crash and the tree beside them fall and collapse.

"hehehe, I found you..."

Orochimaru appeared with a grin on his face, he licks his lips slightly.

"I-It's that guy again!" Sakura said,

Sasuke's eyes widen as he looks around. Then he looks back at Orochimaru with a glare.

"What did you do to her?!" He asks.

"Don't worry, I didn't kill her... well, at least she won't be dead yet..." He grins slyly.

Sasuke and Sakura froze on the spot.

"Teme!!!" Naruto ran to him, aiming to punch him.

"Baka, stop!" Sasuke tried to stop him, but to no prevail.

Orochimaru captures his hand an easily lift him up.

"Let me go!!" Naruto struggled.

"Hm, to think that the nine-tail kid is still alive" Orochimaru said.

He lifts his shirt up and saw the seal loosen.

"Hm, even the seal loosens, it's because of your strong emotion, must be a tough life you've been through" Orochimaru said with a slight smirk.

He then used his other free hand and did a seal on Naruto, over his original seal on his stomach.

In immense pain, Naruto passed out.

Orochimaru throw him away to the side.

Out of her shaken state, Sakura immediately throw a kunai, pinning him to the tree by his clothes.

Meanwhile~~~

The tree around that one area all was destroyed, some burnt, underneath all of those rubbles, miyuki lay there. Her tears flowing non-stop.

She broke a rib or two, she brunt her hand from excessive use of fire jutsus. From head to toe, she's covered in dirt and blood mixed together.

"Kuso... kuso... I... failed... I'm sorry Sasuke... I'm .... Sorry...." Saying that, she closed her eyes and lay there motionless.
