Fire style: Burning Love Jutsu

Chapter 8: Unleash the Beasts

"Almost there! I can smell her!" one of the dogs said. "We have to hurry. Something is wrong. I can feel it." I said, pushing forward and picking up speed. "Sasuke. I promise I will do everything in my power to help you save her." Sakura said. "Just stay out of my way." I growled, not being happy with her. She fell silent just as we arrived at an open area. "She's here. I can smell it." The dog said. 

"There's nothing here!" Naruto said, annoyed. "It's a genjutsu." Kakashi said, figuring it out. "Hey! Open up! Give us back Azamuku!" Naruto shouted running until he crashed into a wall. The jutsu dropped and a large door opened, revealing none other than my own brother. "How foolish. You're outnumbered here." He said. 

"Give us Azamuku." Sakura hissed. "He is right. There's only 4 of us. We'll get torn apart." Naruto said. "5." A voice came from behind Itachi as he fell to his knees. Azamuku was standing behind him, holding him in a mind transfer. Her eyes were red as if she'd been crying. "Move out of my way." She demanded.

Her voice made my blood run cold as she spoke. "Azamuku!" Naruto cheered. Itachi unwillingly side stepped allowing her to walk through. As she walked forward, her cloak came off and the fabric of her headband ripped when she tore it from around her neck. "Muku. You don't know what you're doing." Itachi said.

"Yes I do. Thank you for all that you've done, but I believe this is where it ends." She growled. Everyone except me took a step back in fear of her. "I will not be staying, Itachi. I belong elsewhere." She said. What happened in there. Did they hurt her? I looked her up and down, looking for any scraped or bruises. Nothing could be seen to my eye. 

"Oh you poor girl..." Kakashi said. "Muku! Get back in here!" A voice shouted from within the building. She tensed up and gave a hard "no" in response. "Are you disobeying me?" the voice asked. "Yes." She said. I felt something in the area change. It became more intense and everything suddenly became life or death. 

My neck began to burn as a reaction and Naruto had grabbed at his stomach. "Kakashi sensei! What's going on!?" Naruto asked. "Naruto. Sasuke. Sakura. We need to leave. This is not our fight." Kakashi said. "I'm not leaving." I said, not budging. I slapped my hand over my seal which had begin to spread. What is happening? Our seals are reacting on their own. 

"I'm sorry I ordered you. Come on. Let's go back inside. I'll have Tobi make you some dinner." The voice said as he walked into the light. My neck pulsing violently and the seal spread at a rapid rate. "Azamuku. You need to calm down." Kakashi begged. "What's going on?" Sakura asked. 

"She's a special kind of ninja. She can feel and project emotion and chakra. She read everyone here like an open book. It's how she knew about Haku and Zabuza even though we couldn't see them yet." He replied. "Her emotional projection is interacting with Sasuke's curse mark and Naruto's seal." He continued. "She threw her thoughts into my head when she came out here. She has every right to be furious. And the closer Pein gets to her, the more she rages." He finished. "What happened?" Sakura asked.

I saw Azamuku raise an arm, a long string of red flowing from her index and middle fingers. The string ignited into flames and rested on the ground. "You." She began, looking at Pein. "You do not deserve forgiveness." She continued. I began to feel her anger and pain. He didn't harm her with violence. "Kakashi sensei, want happened!?" Sakura cried, begging to know. 

I let my curse seal take over as I stood behind Azamuku. "He harmed her with one sided love." I said, resting my hands on her shoulders. "He... what?" Sakura whimpered. "You don't deserve to live. And he." She began, glaring at my brother. "Just stood by as I screamed and cried." She finished. It clicked in Sakura head what had happened as she charged Pein. "Sakura! No!" Kakashi said. 

He raised his hand and effortlessly flung her into a tree. Naruto joined our side, crouched and on all fours, growling. "I knew you were bad. But what you did to her was just low." He growled. "Naruto..." Kakashi began. "So the kyuubi reveals itself. I know just who would take care of you." Pein said as Tobi walked out. He removed his mask and Kakashi immediately backed down. "I'm sorry. This is not a battle I can partake in." He said. 

"Naruto. You're against Tobi. Sasuke. You're with me against these 2." Azamuku said, turning around to face me. I remembered that day Itachi came to get her and what was spoken of. "I promise." I said to her. She tiptoed a bit and pressed her lips to mine. "I love you, Uchiha." She whispered so that the others wouldn't hear. 

"Shut up, ya dunce. You're not leaving me just yet." I said. Before I could finish my sentence, she had already begun attacking, using the flaming string of chakra as a weapon. She was doing surprisingly well for taking them both on. "Come on. Please come back. I don't want to have to kill you." Pein said. 

"Looks like that won't have to be a worry. Only one of us will be walking away. And it won't be you." She said growling. "You're such a pretty girl. Reminds me so much of your mother." Pein said. I felt her rage boil over and before he could get his next word out she was gone. "Her speed is absolutely incredible. I didn't even see her move!" Naruto said. Silence fell over the area as Itachi stood in shock. 

"You have no right to speak of my family." Azamuku hissed, somehow being behind him. Pein's body collapsed and went up in smoke. "Coward. Too scared to send yourself out here so you send a clone." She said. I looked at her carefully. She was physically shaking with blind rage. She straightened her body and turned around. 

As if on command, Naruto and I both stood by her side. She raised her arm up, gesturing to Itachi and the akastuki hide out. "Kill." She said. The blood lust that came over me was insane as I charged at Itachi. Naruto ran inside and began tearing everyone to bits.
