Back In Time

Chapter 6

-Forest of death

Sasuke and Naruto headed back to Sakura and saw her surrounded by enemy forces. Naruto shared a look with Sasuke and they both nodded. Naruto instantly charged in with unimaginable speed. He quickly knocked out the genins. Apparently, they were from the stone country. Iwagakure. Sakura looked at Naruto in shock.

"Petty genins" He muttered.

"W-wha?" Sakura stuttered out, clearly shocked.

Since Sakura wasn't a problem and power hungry, Naruto doesn't feel the need to tell her. Naruto quickly searched his enemies. He knew there were enemies due to some clones he sent out earlier. Sasuke arrived at the scene and Sakura began questioning him. Of course, Sasuke lied and didn't answer properly.

"They have an earth scroll. Let's go." Naruto said. Sasuke and Sakura nodded.

"Naruto. What was that? How..."

"It doesn't matter, Sakura-chan. Let's move"

Sakura frowned. She was getting left behind again. After a few jumps in the trees and a few running, they finally stumbled upon Orochimaru. Naruto made his team stop moving.

"Sasuke. Take Sakura near the tower and wait for me there. I'll send out a few clones."

Sasuke nodded numbly. He carried Sakura bridal style (to which Sakura liked very very much) and went away. Orochimaru or the grass ninja was about to head after them when a kunai stopped him.

"You think you can take me alone?"

"Yes. Orochimaru"

The ninja's eyes widened.

"So take your mask off. It disgusts me."

"Who.. Are you?"

Orochimaru asked while peeling off his face.

"That's none of your business. Traitor."

Naruto produced a rasengan and vanished. He reappeared behind Orochimaru while shouting his favourite move.

"RASENGAN!"

Orochimaru's eyes widened. There was no possible way that a brat like this knows that move. He saw the brat's eyes and thought Jiraiya and sage. Orochimaru screeched and was sent into several trees. He was about to do a summoning justu when Naruto appeared in front of him and punched him on the face. Orochimaru was confused. He was strong but he couldn't possibly fight this battle. He'll have to come for the uchiha someday. But this boy, it caught his attention. He'll have to do some research later.

Orochimaru quickly fled the battle, much to Naruto's dismay. He quickly shut off sage mode and headed for Sasuke. When Naruto got there, he saw Sasuke and Sakura and his clones in a battle with the sound ninjas. He didn't even recognize that some popped because he activated his sage mode. He quickly dispelled all of them and knocked out the sound nins from behind.

"Yo." Naruto said casually.

Naruto noticed Sakura's hair was cut.

"You guys okay?" Naruto asked them. Sasuke and Sakura both nodded.

"That was fast. What happened back there?" Sasuke asked. His sharingan was active.

"You don't need to worry about it. It's taken care of for now"

"What are you guys talking about?" Sakura asked.

"It's nothing."

Naruto approached Sasuke.

"You gonna compliment her about her hair or what?" Naruto whispered.

"But I thought-"

"She's all yours"
