The blond one had long hair and had the top part tied in a ponytail with partof his hair covering his left eye, while the other one was short but big. He covered his face with cloth and his eyes were a bit piecing.

One thing they had in common was their cloaks.Its was black with red clouds just like Itachi. 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘬𝘢𝘵𝘴𝘶𝘬𝘪. thought Shikamaru.

"Hold up!" shouted the blondy,"Were here to stop you."."Just so you know, I hate to keep people waiting so let's do this quickly" said the other one. "I'll go for the blond one" said choji,"Im not going to miss on any of the fun, so I'm taking the other one!" said Kiba.

"OK, when you're finished, bring Neji if you can" said Shikamaru. Then Sasuke and Shikamaru quickly left without making a noise. Sasuke heard a typical "What a drag" from Shikamaru before they left.

-Flashback-

"Hey, nine tails."

"What?"

"How about a nice little 𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲?"

"Something must have happened to the brat," thought the fox, "𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱"
"Just give me your soul and body and I'll help you" said the fox with an evil grin. "No, but you can use my clone" said Naruto. "It's still same but with a clone" thought the kyuubi,
"Fine" said the fox.

-Flashback ends-

"Come out" said Sasuke. Shikamaru looked him "Another one huh? What. A. Drag." thought Shikamaru with a groan. Loud footsteps could be heard from behind the tree. And they saw 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗼.

He was covered or a better definition, cloaked with a red chakra. The chakra felt quite strong you could sense a lot of negativity of it." What kind of chakra is this?" asked Shikamaru. "Lady hokage has A LOT of explaining to do after this, if we can make it out alive of course" thought Shikamaru again.

A loud growl was heard of Naruto. His "whiskey-like-things" had thicken and instead of warm blue eyes, it was blood like red eyes with sharp pupils. "Now how do we fight him?" asked Sasuke to the "genius", "Don't ask me" Shikamaru said with shrug.

Naruto was about to pounce at them when it stopped. It stopped because Shikamaru was quick to use his "shadow paralysis jutsu" on him. "Quick go, I can't hold him for much longer" said Shikamaru with sweat dropping of his face. "Fine, just.. Don't die on us" mumbled Sasuke.

Sasuke was now alone, jumping from branch to branch. Thinking whether it was right to leave them with those strange people (besides Itachi) wearing the same black cloaks.

Soon enough, he knew Kiba was right. About 30 minutes later, he saw Naruto with a shark like guy. "Huh? Samehada senses some chakra behind us." said the one next to Naruto. "Keep going forward, I'll play with him"

"Damn it!" thought Sasuke. He was so close to Naruto, yet now, so far. As he watch the blonde figure fade away from his view, he saw a blue figure coming closer to his view.

Sasuke got a good look at him. He sort of looked like a fish? His skin was light shade of blue while his hair was a dark blue. Like Naruto, he had some facial thing on his face, his cheeks had some fish-like gills on his face, even if he had nose.

"Out of the way" said Sasuke. "My, my, aren't you younger ones rude?" said the man. "Well, either way, I can't" continued the man. "I supposed you somehow got pass them? Are you really that strong? No wait it would be too fast, you must have some people fighting them now.". "So what?! Just get out of my way!" shouted Sasuke inpatient.

"Let's play instead. " said the man, while taking out his wrapped sword. Sasuke had to out of this situation, and quick. He needed to catch up with Naruto and bring him back, but how?, thought Sasuke as he went into his battle stance.
