Naruto 49X: Tsunade's Seen the Light
[Tsunade is floating in a white space]
(Tsunade is narrating, stream of consciousness like when Jiraiya was dying)
Everything I've ever wanted... it was all a failure. I couldn't protect the men I cared about
[Flashes of Nawaki, Dan and Jiraiya]
I couldn't protect the villagers I cared about
[Flashes of Konoha, destroyed]
Everything I did was meaningless; I couldn't even stand in your shadow, grandpa first hokage. I couldn't protect the village like you or my master did.
[Flashes of the first, third hokage]
And I couldn't stop my friend from a heartless path of evil...
[Flash of young Orochimaru]
I really am worthless.
[Switches to sunset on the bench with Jiraiya, before he went to investigate pain]
Jiraiya: That doesn't mean we should get all miserable. Our job is to provide good role models for the next generation, and lend them our help.
[Flash of Naruto standing up to pain]
[Tsunade's eyes open abruptly; she's in a hospital bed with Katsuyu on her lap]
Katsuyu: Oh! You're awake!
Tsunade: Ugh, what happened? I feel like I died... Naruto! Where is he!?
[Tsunade rubs her eyes and looks out the window. She’s suddenly surprised. She can see freshly constructed buildings with the hokage monument in the background]
Katsuyu: You were right. Naruto was stronger than anyone anticipated. He fought on equal footing with Pain here in Konoha. He was on the verge of fully transforming into the kyuubi when he suppressed the chakra himself and defeated the last of Pain’s paths.
Tsunade: (thinking) Naruto... you really do carry on their fire... you've saved me [cries]
Tsunade: [suddenly stops crying] How many villagers were lost in the invasion?! When I passed out, it seemed at least half of them...
Katsuyu: None.
Tsunade: None survived!?
Katsuyu: None lost their lives. After Naruto defeated the paths of pain, he convinced him to abandon Akatsuki, and as his last act, Nagato resurrected everyone he had killed that day. Unfortunately, that was all he could do... (Thinking: I'm sorry Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya had to remain...)
Tsunade: NARUTO! You... you did everything I couldn't... I'm so relieved...
Katsuyu: [sweating] You shouldn't be getting so worked up, your chakra pathways have been seared by the rapid infusion from your Yin Seal when we tried to protect the villagers. I still don't know if they can be healed.
Tsunade: ... (Looks at her hands, they're wrinkly and old, and in a mirror across the room she sees that her face is old too) I guess it'll be awhile before I can look like myself. How long have I been out for, anyway? The village looks almost fully rebuilt from here...
Katsuyu: You were unconscious for the last week. The villagers and our allies have been hard at work rebuilding. That's not the only thing that happened though; Uchiha Sasuke attacked the cloud country's hachibi jinchuuriki, brother of the Raikage. Danzou was appointed to hokage and left to tend to the diplomatic crisis.
Tsunade: Danzou?! That son of a bitch! Did the jounins approve him already!?
Katsuyu: Not yet. In fact, the jounin council nominated Hatake Kakashi but the daimyo overruled them to make the temporary appointment of Danzou. Hopefully that will be overturned when he comes back from the 5 kage meeting.
Tsunade: Not before he's ruined our reputation, no doubt. Kakashi as 6th though. [Closes her eyes] A year ago I would've thought he would be the best candidate in the village... but after what you've told me...
[The door opens; Shizune is pushing in a cart with medical supplies. She sees Tsunade sitting up and she's overcome with surprise and joy]
Shizune: Lord Tsunade! How long have you been...?
Tsunade: [opens her eyes and points at Shizune] Shizune! I have an announcement to make! Assemble the jounin council and the daimyo; I'm declaring Uzumaki Naruto the 6th hokage!
[Shizune is shocked, Katsuyu giggles]

Naruto 489: Fate of Kushina
Naruto 489: Fate of Kushina
By badon
[Mountain scene, lightning is heard in the background]
[Little girl cries]
Kushina: Hurry, we have to get out of this pass before the weather gets worse!
[Large rumbling, rocks begin to fall down the slope towards a group of what appears to be older people and children]
Kushina: Tajuu Kage bunshin no jutsu!
[50 clones appear between the mountainside and the hooded travelers]
All 51 Kushina’s make the water sign at once: Ascending Whirlpool Wall!
[51 spinning geyers sprout out from the rock face, making a curved shield over the head of all the travelers, the boulders hit the water and are flung overhead and down the cliff]
Kushina: Everyone, get out of here, the rocks are first and the mountain comes next, if you don’t get going we’ll all be crushed!
Unidentified woman: Kushina-sama! If you stay you’ll be crushed!
Kushina: Don’t worry about me, I still have an important task ahead of me, I won’t die here!
Little girl: Kushina-sama!!!
Kushina: We’ll meet again! I won’t break my word!
[The little girl is pulled away by the others and we see a hidden grass headband on one of the travelers, though they’re too old to be an active ninja, the next frame has a huge landslide overwhelming the wall of water]
[Scene cuts to Naruto shedding a tear and sniffing, he and Kakashi have stopped and put Karin down to hear her story]
Karin: And that was the last time I heard Uzumaki Kushina-sama’s voice… she saved over a hundred lives that day and I haven’t heard anything about her since… :tears pour down her face:
Kakashi: That does sound just like your mother, Naruto… and more than a little like you, too.
Naruto: Where were you when you that happened!? Kakashi-sensei, when we get back to the village, I would like permission to assemble a search party to locate…
Kakashi: Naruto… I understand how you feel…
Naruto: Sensei, I never had any parents growing up, and I only just found out who my father was after all these years. I need to look for any trace of my mother; I don’t need to ask for your permission, but if I had some people with me, it would go much faster and I’d be at less of a risk of getting in trouble…
Kakashi: Sigh, you’re right. This IS the wife of the 4th hokage we’re talking about. We all thought she died when your father sealed the Kyuubi, but if she lived on, it is just as important to the village that we find her. We’ll talk more when we get back to the village [picks Karin up]
Naruto: So let’s pick up the pace!
[Suigetsu is in a glass tank and Juugo is with him in a cell; lightning flashes out the cell window]
[Juugo is standing by the window and a bird lands on his hand]
Juugo: Kimimaro… I’m sorry; I failed your successor…
Suigetsu: [bubbles out his mouth] Keh, Sasuke sure has become a first class bastard, leading us into that Akatsuki trap and letting us be caught by that Raikage and his friends.
Juugo: I wonder if Karin is alright.
Suigetsu: Fuck Karin, she didn’t help us at all either, for all her sensor abilities she sure didn’t see that Zetsu was going to betray us like that.
Juugo: I don’t think Sasuke and Karin would leave us alone if the situation wasn’t so desperate.
Suigestsu: And whose fault is it that we went into the middle of the kage summit without any backup and immediately had our positions given away? I’m not saying Sasuke planned it, but he let it happen.
Juugo: Hey! There’s something going on out the window!
Suigestsu: Huh? I can’t see anything in this tank, can’t you break those shackles and get me out of here already?
Juugo: It’s the 8tailed beast… he’s talking to himself and carrying something really big… it’s that sword Kisame had!
Suigetsu: [perks up] !! Kisame-senpai, I knew you weren’t meant for samehada, to lose it to the 8tail, what a loser!
Juugo: The 8tail was the one who made your sword break, too…
Suigestsu: Shut up! Break me out of here so I can go get the sword! We’ll break out of here and get back at Akatsuki in no time! C’mon, Juugo, don’t be such a little bitch!
Juugo: [cursed seal starts to spread out] Guh, no… I don’t want to fight anymore! [cursed seal reaches his restraints, then releases]
Suigetsu: What happened? Weren’t you gonna flip out and go ninja and break me out of this?
Juugo: I… I’m not sure? This hasn’t happened before without Kimimaro or Sasuke to calm me down… these bracelets are made out of some chakra repellant material that must be stopping my transformation.
Suigetsu: Fuck! Just break me out then, and I’ll get those off you in no time, then we can go steal the Samehada and get out of here!
Juugo: I’ll let you out of the tank, but I’m not going with you. This is what I’ve always wanted, to be in control without risking my dark side getting out. [Smashes the tank and Suigetsu spills out]
Suigetsu: Suit yourself, good luck explaining how I got out of here. I’ll cut that
Zetsu once for you, too.
[Suigetsu escapes through the bars of the cell, Juugo sighs and sits down on the bed]
[Cuts to scene with Bee leaning against a tree with Samehada next to him, he’s snoring]
Kisame: (thinking) God damn that hachibi is annoying, but now that he’s asleep and Samehada has taken most of his chakras, I just have to transform into water and leave the sword so I can take him down and call Madara to take him away… ?!
[Suigetsu begins to materialize up from a nearby stream, sneaking up towards the tree]
[Kisame drips out of Samehada and rematerializes in front of Suigetsu, covering his mouth]
Kisame: [whispering] Don’t make a sound unless you want to get us in deep shit.
Suigetsu: !? [pushes the hand away from his mouth] Kisame… I’m going to take your sword and peace the fuck out. If you want to fight me for it and wake up the hachibi, that’ll be your responsibility.
Kisame: God Damnit, I’m not going to let another punk use my sword! [Fuck! I was too loud, did he wake up!?]
[Bee stirs a little, mutters something like you idiot, you fool, then snores loudly]
Kisame: (thinking) I have to take this chance while I have it and cut off the hachibi’s legs, then I can deal with Suigetsu…
[Suigetsu is standing next to Kisame still but then the next frame Kisame is gone]
Suigetsu: (thinking) Crap, he’s fast! I can’t let him get a grip on the sword!
[Kisame reaches for the sword but leaps back at the last moment as Bee swings it right at his head]
Kisame: Fuck, you were just pretending to sleep!?
Bee: Hah, you little idiot, little fool, I don’t have to be awake to know there’s something about to attack me, that’s what I have my little friend for. [Samehada purrs] Neither do I need to see my enemy to know he’s not who he appears to be.
Kisame: Well now, I can’t let you keep going on thinking that sword belongs to you. You impress me to know that you hadn’t really defeated me, but know that I can’t forgive you stealing my Samehada! [makes handsigns] Seven Swordman Summoning!
[Samehada disappears out of Bee’s hand and appears in Kisame’s]
Kisame: Wow, you sure have collected a lot of chakra from this bijuu, let’s see how he likes a taste of his own medicine!
Hachibi: (internal bee dialogue] You idiot! I warned you about that sword, and now it’s taken too much of our chakra for us to to even try to dodge this, you’ve doomed us both!
[At the last moment, Bee is shoved out of the way and water splashes around him]
Bee: It’s you, the wet towel from the Akatsuki who tried to capture me with that
Uchiha! What are you doing!?
Suigetsu: Keh, I can’t let it slide that Kisame would try to fight you before he fights me for the right to wield that sword. Besides, I’m not a part of Akatsuki, I was just hanging around Sasuke because he freed me, but he’s betrayed me just like the rest of those Akatsuki bastards have…
[Suigetsu rematerializes and so do several more Suigetsu from puddles around the tree]
Kisame: Little Suigetsu… I’ll show you how much more you’ve bitten off than you can chew.

[People are running from a burning building, screaming is heard]
unknown narrator: Mom!! Dad!!
unknown man: Come on, we've got to go!! Those konoha shinobi will be back any moment!!
unknown woman: I'm not leaving without our son!
unknown man: If we don't get out of here now, we'll--
[Man is eviscerated, woman screams. Next frame, the woman is looking at the narrator, holding her hand out and saying "run..."]
[Danzo's stern face flashes by]
[frame is black, licking sound in the background]
[frame is still black]
Sakura: Akamaru, get off Sai! Kiba, wake up and take care of your dog!
[frame appears, Sakura is shaking Lee]
Sakura: Lee, Kiba, Sai, get up you guys, we're going back to the village!
Sai: What... what happened??
Sakura: I... (thinks about how she failed to stop Sasuke) I'll tell you all about it when we get back to the village
Sai: You weren't able to stop him, were you?
Kiba: :groggily starts to wake up: What? Stop who? Where's my dog biscuits...
Lee: (jumps up) Sai! How dare you interfere with our mission to stop Sasuke!
Sai: I only wanted to protect you guys...
Sakura: [interrupting] Lee, Kiba, Sai, I'm sorry. It's all my fault, I didn't mean to hurt you, but we have to hurry back to the village now, Kakashi and Naruto went on ahead.
Sai: As long as everyone's alright, I'm relieved.. (wipes off his brow, wonders again why he's sweating if he isn't supposed to feel any emotions, remembers for a brief moment the face of the woman holding out her arm to him)
Kabuto scene-
[Kabuto is running down a hall and looking into a room]
Kabuto (thinking): It has to be around here somewhere..
[Kabuto looks into the next room and sees a bunch of bookshelves]
Kabuto (thinking): Aha, it must be there with the rest of the scrolls. These Waterfall ninja sure have been cooperative to tell me the correct building... I guess it didn't hurt that I used one of Orochimaru's jutsu on them [kukuku].. now, which one is it
[Kabuto is going through the scrolls]
Anko scene-
Anko (thinking): What are you doing in the waterfall village, Kabuto?? Did you think Orochimaru left one of his experiments here?
[rustling leaves catch her attention]
[Anko throws a kunai into the bush]
Anko: Come out, I know you're in there, dogs of Danzou!
[shinobi are seen in the shadows]
masked shinobi #1: We should've known one of orochimaru's disciples would've detected us.
masked shinobi #2: It's no matter.. we should just take her out like danzo ordered.
Anko: If you think I'll go down so easily, you've got another thing coming!
[The unknown shinobi are engulfed in a genjutsu, snakes swirl all around them, hissing and spitting venom that melts through their masks as they scream]
Anko: Now, tell me about Danzo.
Killer Bee scene:
Bee (thinking): Oi, now I gotta come up with some stuff that rhymes with shark so I can make full use of this new sword I have.
Hachibi: God, why can't you just give the rap thing a break. I'm tired too, can't you just sleep so I can recover my chakras?
Bee (thinking): This sword's just holding onto them for you, can't you tell? If I go to sleep with this thing, who knows what might happen! I guess I should put it in brothers armory for now...
Hachibi: Don't you notice something strange about this sword, Bee?
Bee (thinking): Strange? Thing's crazy! It steals your enemy's chakra and becomes bigger and heavier because of it! I can't wait to try it out in the proving grounds, I hope brother lets me go..
Hachibi: That's not it. I sense more than just the samehada chakra in this. We should have it inspected by a sensor so we know what it's capable of before we leave it alone somewhere.
Bee (thinking): You're just overthinking it, don't have a cow, cow-man!
[Bee leans against a rock and leans the sword down next to him]
Bee (thinking): I haven't had a rest since that uchiha kid made me go all out
Hachibi: He made you go all out!? You can't lie to me, Bee, you were just having fun at my expense!
Bee (thinking): You never want me to have any fun, whether it's rapping or fighting you'd rather just sit around and chew cud. Now just gimme a break while I nap..
Hachibi: Fine, but don't blame me when this sword goes all haywire on you!
Sasuke and Madara scene:
[Madara is walking down a dark hall, Sasuke behind him with a dim light at the end of the tunnel behind them]
Madara: It'll take a week for you to adjust to your new eyes, after the transplant. I need to know that you will take it easy and relax until then.
Sasuke: Keh, worry about yourself. I'll be able to tell when I'm ready to fight again.
Madara: I know you think you will be, but there's still more you will need to know to use the EMS effectively. Like I said, you've been using Susano'o far too liberally, and there are tricks you can use to extend your stamina.
Sasuke: I thought you said this EMS had no degredation.
Madara: Just because you won't wear out the eyes, doesn't mean you won’t wear out your body if you overuse them like you have been. You used to rely on the cursed seal and then orochimaru's essence, but now that you're free of those shackles, you have to learn to use less costly techniques if you want to be able to defeat your enemy.
Sasuke: Just give me the eyes and I'll kill Naruto and then stomp the fire out of the leaf village.
Madara (thinking): I'm glad he's so enthusiastic about this fight, I was worried that Kyuubi boy might have learned the secret of 16 years ago and used it to sway Sasuke but it's clear there's no way he could be changed now.. kukuku
Naruto scene:
Naruto: Kakashi, I've wanted to ask you something ever since I fought with Pain.
Kakashi: ?
Karin (thinking): Uzumaki Naruto... defeated Madara's most powerful soldier, Pain, all by himself... This guy has more chakra than I've ever felt before..
Naruto: What was my father like... you know, before he was responsible for the village?
Kakashi: Your father... the fourth hokage was the wisest, bravest shinobi who had a heart as large as your own. He was my leader, my role model, the person I would like to have emulated most of all the shinobi in the village. Everyone knew he would become hokage when he came of age..
Karin (thinking): Even his father was hokage!? I'd heard stories about the fourth hokage and how it used to be if you saw him on the battlefield, everyone was ordered to run, but I never heard anything about his son...
Naruto: Well, what I mean is, did he ever have friends? What about his companions and family, what ever happened to them? I was raised alone, and noone even told me my dad was hokage. Did that mean nobody even knew I was going to be born?
Kakashi: Well, your father spent much of his youth outside the village, learning techniques from the toads and from the elders in your mothers village. Most of his close friends were from there, now that I think about it..
Naruto: My mothers village? I haven't heard anything about that place, where is it?
Kakashi: It doesn't exist anymore. The village of whirlpools used to be a beautiful place in the south, with rich farm lands that stretched from shore to shore, with wildlife teeming everywhere. But it was lost in the war...
Naruto: What about the rest of my family? My mother, my relatives, where are they?
Kakashi: Noone knows what happened to Kushina when Minato sealed the Kyuubi, we all assumed she died that day...
Naruto: But you don't know for sure!?
Karin: Once upon a time, I met a woman a lot like you... Naruto...
Kakashi and Naruto: !?!

Naruto 485: A Convoluted Mess
Team 7 Scene
Sasuke: Naruto, huh?
Sakura(thinking): I'm sorry Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, I'm still a burden..
Naruto: Sakura, I know what you and sensei are trying to do but please, let me handle this. I can't watch you get hurt anymore by Sasuke's darkness. :stands Sakura up:
Sasuke: Ha! Even you can't stop me, until I get my revenge I'm unstoppable! :begins to cast amaterasu on Naruto and Sakura:
Kakashi: I'm your opponent! :kicks Sasuke across the water:
:sasuke's amaterasu leaves a blaze of black flames across the water beginning right next to naruto:
Sasuke(thinking): What the hell, my amaterasu should've hit him.. is this the result of the eyes degredation!?
(the image of Naruto and Kakashi is duplicated as if Sasuke's eyes were crossed, with the amaterasu starting in the false image of Naruto)
Kakashi: Naruto and Sakura.. you just couldn't leave Sasuke to me, could you?
Sakura: I'm sorry sensei, I'm not strong enough to... :tears continue to drop down her face:
Naruto: Sensei, take Sakura and the girl on the bridge away from here, I have to speak alone with Sasuke :closes his eyes and makes his bunshin hand sign:
Sasuke: As if I'll let you leave! :swings his sword out and stretches his streaming lightning twenty feet past the blade and begins to swing it towards his old team:
:Naruto opens his eyes in sage mode and 4 bunshins appear and grab the lightning extension of the blade:
Sasuke(thinking): Impossible!
Kakashi(thinking): Just like with Obito and Rin, I can't save someone I care about... but he's just like you.. sensei
Kakashi: So this is the power of sage chakra... Naruto, I'll leave this to you, come on Sakura :jumps up top of the bridge with sakura and picks up Karin: We've got to get you back to the village..
:Sakura looks back one last time at Naruto holding Sasuke's blade and her tears finally stop and she and Kakashi jump away with Karin:
Karin: I'm sorry, the Sasuke you loved is already dead and they killed him :thinks of tobi/madara and sasuke together:...
Sakura: You're wrong.
Karin(looks puzzled): What?
Sakura: If the sasuke I love was dead, I would've been able to... but he's not, and now the only one who can save him is... :scene cut to Naruto and Sasuke:
Sasuke: Heh, so you have become more powerful like they said. :releases his sword and immediately begins using hand signs: But I'll end you like I should have back then!
KATON: DRAGON FIRE TECHNIQUE flies up into the sky
:Naruto releases his clones and watches the enormous fireball fly up:
Naruto(thinking): What is this technique??
Naruto: Sasuke, I have something I need to ask you.
Sasuke: You who is about to die... I'll grant your last request, what is it?
Naruto: Why are you working with Madara, the one who killed my parents, tried to destroy Konoha and caused the destruction of your clan!? Why do you let Itachi's sacrifice be in vain!
Sasuke: You say that like you even know who your parents were, and it was Konoha that destroyed my family! What do you know of it!
Naruto: I met my father while protecting Konoha from Madara's pawn, and he told me that it was Madara that summoned the kyuubi. If it wasn't for the kyuubi's attack on Konoha, the loyal Uchiha would never have been suspected and your clan would never have been targetted!
:a large shadow appears and darkens Naruto and Sasuke and a crack of thunder is heard in the background:
Sasuke: I don't believe you, how could you meet your father, he's been dead and forgotten since before you could speak! (thinking: I thought Madara might have been lying to me then...)
Naruto: My father.. was the fourth hokage. If he hadn't fallen protecting Konoha from Madara, I know he would've protected the Uchiha! Sasuke, join me and I'll help you get justice for the Uchiha and you can reestablish your clan, it's not too late!
Sasuke: Silly Naruto... it was too late from the moment the Uchiha joined with the Senju to create Konoha. The only way to reform my clan is to begin anew from the ashes of that mistake! I will burn Konoha to the ground and get revenge for everything!
Naruto: Itachi would never forgive you, is that what you really want! He sacrificed everything to give you the chance to live! I won't break my word to him...
:Lightning causes the landscape to illuminate and in that instant, Sasuke swears he sees Itachi's face:
Sasuke(thinking): He gave his word to Itachi? Why.. brother... why would you speak with Naruto and not me!
Sasuke: I don't care what you said to Itachi! I'll kill you now for speaking his name!
:huge crackle of thunder.. Kirin is ready!:
:Naruto summons a clone and forms a rasenshuriken and throws it high into the sky:
Sasuke: You're too late! KIRIN!
:Lightning flies down and through the rasenshuriken right down the path it was thrown from Naruto:
:There's a big explosion originating from Naruto's location, with lightning flowing over the surface of the water, Sasuke has jumped up from the surface but it streaks up the water falling off his legs and zaps him, he falls down on the ground beside the river and looks towards Naruto, but he's unharmed, a single black bird is hovering over his head:
Sasuke(thinking): Itachi's black bird! Why, brother??
Naruto: Sasuke... I understand your desire for revenge but I can't let it consume you, I won't bend back my words to Itachi, you know that as well as anyone.
Madara appears behind Sasuke: Oh? I see the action started up a bit prematurely. Well, Sasuke, looks like I was right, you are still weaker than him. I can't let you be defeated here, so lets unleash this nine tail and get out of here.
:Madara begins to suck Sasuke through his portal, but Sasuke forms a chidori and swings right through his mask, the right side falls off and but the left side remains and Madara jumps back:
Madara: So you want to stick around and see the fireworks? Fine, you and the nine tail can play together while you think about your deteriorating eyes. :Makes some handsigns: Kyuubi control jutsu! :Madara disappears in a swirl:
:Naruto is pouring out Kyuubi chakra, three tails have already appeared and he collapses as a fourth begins to come out:
Sasuke: I'm not going to stick around to see what happens to you, Naruto. You want to bring justice for the uchiha and keep your word to my brother but it looks like Madara has different plans for you. Summoning jutsu: Hawk.
:Sasuke pulls himself on the hawks back and flies away:
Naruto: :Barely able to think with all the chakra forcing its away out of him: Sasuke...
Inner Naruto scene:
Kyuubi: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR UCHIHA MADARA.... I CANT CONTROL MY CHAKRA
:The kyuubi chakra leaks out the bars and rushes over Naruto who's watching with Sage eyes as it swirls around him:
Naruto: Ughh... I can't resist it...
:Naruto suddenly makes a twisted expression and a black bird crawls out his mouth and caws as it's sharingan glows and the Kyuubi's chakra relaxes its grip on Naruto and flows back into the cage:
Naruto: Itachi's bird... is that the power he gave me?
Kyuubi: Ahhh, I'm released from his genjutsu.. Naruto.. you truly have become strong enough to contain my power and keep me from being controlled by the likes of the Uchiha. There may be hope for you yet.
Naruto: What do you mean, you want to work with me now, fox?!
Kyuubi: Together, we are strong enough to get my revenge on Uchiha Madara... but learning to control my power is not something you can do on your own, you need someone with more experience... and he's coming...
:Naruto is laying with his back on the water, he opens his sage eyes abruptly:
Naruto: What are these enormous chakras... they're right above me!
:With his sage eyes, he sees through the bridge two enormous sources of Chakra and two smaller sources:
C: There he is. That's the kyuubi boy. He looks pretty beat. But he's not the one who killed Danzo.
A: Damnit, I wanted to be the one to crush Danzo's skull.
:Bee jumps down and looks at Naruto from above:
Hachibi(inner dialogue): I can feel it, this is where my fox brother is. Strange.. I don't sense any hostility from him towards this boy. Bee, you need to take him, we have something important to do. He needs training.
Bee(inner dialogue): Oi, I'll teach this idiot, this fool, how to rap like a real ninja should!
Bee: Yo, I heard you don't want to be such a foolish idiot and learn to control your Bijuu. Come with us.
:Naruto stands up:
Naruto: You.. how do you know about the bijuu?!
Bee: I'm the hachibi jinchuriki. I've been in sync with my bijuu for as long as you've been alive! So, what will it be, you gonna come with me?
Naruto(thinking): If I had the kyuubi's power.. I could bring sasuke back for sure! But I can't just go with them without telling the others :makes hand sign for kage bunshin:
:A jumps down and swings his arm down at Naruto:
A: You think you can use a jutsu on my brother!?
:A sage bunshin appears and catches his arm:
Naruto: I'm just sending a messenger back to the village so they know where I am. I will come with you.
A: Fine, lets go, Bee!
Sasuke: Naruto, huh?
Sakura(thinking): I'm sorry Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, I'm still a burden..
Naruto: Sakura, I know what you and sensei are trying to do but please, let me handle this. I can't watch you get hurt anymore by Sasuke's darkness. :stands Sakura up:
Sasuke: Ha! Even you can't stop me, until I get my revenge I'm unstoppable! :begins to cast amaterasu on Naruto and Sakura:
Kakashi: I'm your opponent! :kicks Sasuke across the water:
:sasuke's amaterasu leaves a blaze of black flames across the water beginning right next to naruto:
Sasuke(thinking): What the hell, my amaterasu should've hit him.. is this the result of the eyes degredation!?
(the image of Naruto and Kakashi is duplicated as if Sasuke's eyes were crossed, with the amaterasu starting in the false image of Naruto)
Kakashi: Naruto and Sakura.. you just couldn't leave Sasuke to me, could you?
Sakura: I'm sorry sensei, I'm not strong enough to... :tears continue to drop down her face:
Naruto: Sensei, take Sakura and the girl on the bridge away from here, I have to speak alone with Sasuke :closes his eyes and makes his bunshin hand sign:
Sasuke: As if I'll let you leave! :swings his sword out and stretches his streaming lightning twenty feet past the blade and begins to swing it towards his old team:
:Naruto opens his eyes in sage mode and 4 bunshins appear and grab the lightning extension of the blade:
Sasuke(thinking): Impossible!
Kakashi(thinking): Just like with Obito and Rin, I can't save someone I care about... but he's just like you.. sensei
Kakashi: So this is the power of sage chakra... Naruto, I'll leave this to you, come on Sakura :jumps up top of the bridge with sakura and picks up Karin: We've got to get you back to the village..
:Sakura looks back one last time at Naruto holding Sasuke's blade and her tears finally stop and she and Kakashi jump away with Karin:
Karin: I'm sorry, the Sasuke you loved is already dead and they killed him :thinks of tobi/madara and sasuke together:...
Sakura: You're wrong.
Karin(looks puzzled): What?
Sakura: If the sasuke I love was dead, I would've been able to... but he's not, and now the only one who can save him is... :scene cut to Naruto and Sasuke:
Sasuke: Heh, so you have become more powerful like they said. :releases his sword and immediately begins using hand signs: But I'll end you like I should have back then!

Naruto 484: Sasuke's Savior
Sakura and Karin scene:
Sakura: What has Sasuke done to you? :intensely heals Karin:
Karin: :coughs blood: Danzo took me hostage, and Sasuke didn't even care...
Sakura (thinking): Damn you Danzo, first Tsunade and now this?
Karin: Sasuke is changing, even as we speak; it's all because of that masked Akatasuki.. :coughs more blood and passes out:
Sakura: Don't speak! I can still save you!
Sasuke and Kakashi Scene:
:Sasuke draws his sword and streams lightning down it as he leaps at Kakashi:
Sasuke: I can't wait to see you whither away and die before me!
Kakashi (thinking): I never wanted it to come to this, I thought I might have been able to change Sasuke all those years ago when I taught him to use Lightning Release, and now he intends to kill me with it?
:Kakashi dodges barely, Sasuke laughs and swings back again, extending the reach of his blade:
Sasuke: Got you!
:Kakashi turns into a wisp of lightning and quickly fades away:
Sasuke: Raikage bunshin, huh?
:Kakashi appears behind Sasuke with his own raikiri and stabs him directly through the heart, Sasuke looks shocked as blood gushes out of him:
:Laughter is heard in the background, Kakashi is the surprised one now:
Sasuke: I can kill you any time I want, Kakashi!
Kakashi (thinking): Shit! Genjutsu! :genjutsu release:
:Kakashi looks around and doesn't see Sasuke anywhere:
Kakashi (thinking): Oh no, he couldn't have gone unde...
:Sasuke leaps up from under Kakashi using an extended Chidori in his right hand, Kakashi dodges but his forehead guard is split in half in front of his face and as it falls away it reveals Kakashi's mangekyo sharingan:
Sasuke (thinking): So you've gained it too! No wonder you could see through that simple move.. I have no choice but to use it once again..
:Sasuke reveals his MS, and immediately grabs his bleeding eye:
Kakashi (thinking): There's my chance! I'm sorry Sasuke, I've let you down but this is the best I can do to save you now..
:Kakashi immediately begins to cast Kamui on Sasuke's torso
Sasuke (thinking): Shit! I've used my mangekyou too much! I can't dodge this!
:A streak of bright chakra is all that remains in front of Kakashi; Sasuke is gone! Is this it for our antihero??:
Sakura and Karin scene:
Sakura: What has Sasuke done to you? :intensely heals Karin:
