Sasuke: Me Too

The downpour seemed to stop at that moment, and the large raindrops were as smooth and clear as mirrors.

Inside the dimly lit Sealing Space.

The small DVD player emitted white noise, and the mountain-sized Nine-Tails was drowsy, its Nine-Tails fur flickering on the screen.

A roar from Kurama caused the Kurama Nine-Tails to suddenly open its eyes.

It watched in disbelief as the Four Symbols Seal on the door opened inch by inch. It glanced down at the mountain of DVDs, then at the seal door that was about to open.

The Nine-Tails fox had a fierce expression, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. It suddenly raised its claws and placed them above the DVD player, a hint of hesitation flashing in its large eyes.

"It would be a shame to step on it."

It muttered something, then carefully withdrew its paw.

"Let's go out for some fresh air!"

Inside the alley, the red Tailed Beast Chakra exploded instantly. The scorching wind instantly evaporated the falling rain, and a thick white mist immediately spread out.

Kisame Hoshigaki instinctively used his Great Sword Samehada to absorb Chakra, but when he realized something was wrong, it was too late. The Nine-Tails' massive Chakra instantly shattered the man and the sword apart.

The entire alley was destroyed in an instant, and the huge commotion attracted the attention of Konohagakure Jonin and Anbu who were rushing towards the scene. After the Konoha Crush, the Jonin and Anbu were on almost endless shifts.

What is that?

The Anbu and almost all the Leading Jonin scattered on the rooftops, all looking in the same direction. When they saw what was in the white mist, their hearts almost stopped beating.

"Broken."

A strong sense of dread rose from the depths of everyone's hearts. They stood in the rain, staring intently at the enormous, fiery red fox in the distance, their eyes bulging with fear.

Rainwater streamed down his hair, soaking Kakashi's mask.

"Stop the Nine-Tails' rampage and evacuate the surrounding residents." A member of the Anbu appeared, dressed in white robes, his voice unusually cold.

Seven or eight Anbu swiftly departed, and Kakashi turned to look at Guy, his voice more serious than ever before.

"Kai, do me a favor."

"Kakashi," Guy nodded seriously. "Go on."

"Don't let my disciple fall into the hands of those people in the Anbu."

Ino, who was being held tightly, froze, opened her eyes and stared blankly at that profile, seeing Naruto's eyes turn red and emit a terrifying blood-red light.

The oppressive aura of that terrifying-looking monster was so strong that even though Ino didn't know who it was, she couldn't suppress her fear. In the moment before death, her heart felt empty.

To die like that must have been incredibly frustrating.

It turns out that before a person dies, what they think about is what they should do tomorrow.

I can't imagine what it feels like to be held tightly in someone's arms. Right now, my heart feels so full it's about to overflow.

The next second, the Nine-Tails suddenly appeared.

Its body was as large as a mountain, with sharp teeth and long ears, and nine fiery red fox tails swayed incessantly in the torrential rain. It roared at the sky in the downpour, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Ino was thrown out and fell into a puddle.

Before Kisame Hoshigaki could even stand up, Nine-Tails slammed him heavily into the ground with a palm strike, pinning him down with its claws. The moment Kurama lifted him up, it delivered another heavy punch, causing Kisame Hoshigaki, in his fish-man form bursting with Chakra, to cough up blood.

"Quickly, stop him!"

"We can't let the village be destroyed!"

Nine-Tails wanted to punch again, but a Tailed Beast Ball was already in its mouth. The Anbu Ninja activated four Earth-Style Wall to completely surround Nine-Tails.

The moment the Earth-Style Wall formed, it was shattered by Nine-Tails's physical body, and Kurama roared as it charged toward Kisame Hoshigaki.

Itachi Uchiha suddenly appeared in front of Kisame Hoshigaki, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning wildly, and Amaterasu directly burned Nine-Tails's body.

The small Tailed Beast Ball in its mouth vanished, and Nine-Tails roared in pain.

"Kisame, let's go!"

"Mr. Itachi."

The two left quickly, and several Anbu followed, but were temporarily blocked by Kisame Hoshigaki's incredibly powerful Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which was heavily injured.

The Nine-Tails disappeared under Amaterasu's scorching heat and simply returned to the Sealing Space to isolate itself from the Amaterasu that was clinging to it.

The torrential rain dispersed the white mist, leaving behind Naruto lying unconscious in the puddle.

Guy and Kakashi landed beside Naruto a step ahead of the Anbu, using their bodies to shield him from the rest of the Anbu. A deadpan gaze swept over the Anbu, and with one hand in his pocket, he lazily spoke.

"Well, it seems Naruto didn't lose control, since no one was injured."

"Please hand over the Jinchuriki to us for containment," the white-robed Anbu interrupted Kakashi.

"Don't keep saying 'Jinchuriki.' Naruto is my disciple. Since the Third Hokage appointed me as his mentor Jonin, then..." Kakashi showed no sign of backing down.

"Until the Hokage or higher-ups issue their orders, Naruto will be under my care for the time being."

"The Third Hokage is already dead, and you..." The Anbu Ninja was somewhat annoyed and stared at Kakashi coldly.

"Then let's wait until the new Hokage takes office, or until the two advisors give their orders." Kakashi glanced at the Anbu with a deadpan look. "I also spent some time with Root."

"In the case of severe casualties and manpower shortages in the Anbu, theoretically, members of the Root can temporarily fill the vacancies in the Anbu, and their positions can be transferred but their subordinates can be changed."

The rain poured down, and the eight Anbu silently stared at Kakashi.

After a long while, the white-robed Anbu waved his hand.

"Walk."

All the Anbu left, leaving only Kakashi and Guy, two Elite Jonin, standing at the scene. Naruto and Ino each fell into puddles far apart.

"Kakashi," Guy asked, somewhat surprised, "How do you know they're not the Anbu?"

"Is that Ino over there?" Kakashi gestured to Gai to look in the other direction. Ino was lying in a puddle, her blond hair loose and soaking in the water, her face covered in rain.

"Root only cares about missions; he wouldn't even consider the heir of the Yamanaka Clan a threat."

Konoha Hospital.

Naruto opened his eyes.

Nikko streamed into the ward through the bright windows, the pungent smell of disinfectant completely ruining anyone's appetite. The pristine white walls were so clean they reflected the sunlight, and the white blankets exuded a faint lavender scent.

"Woke up?"

A very familiar yet extremely aloof voice rang out from the side. Naruto turned his head and saw Sasuke's profile on another hospital bed, his upper body wrapped in bandages.

Naruto Sasuke vaguely see the blood seeping from the bandage on his forehead.

It was only then that Naruto realized that the two of them were in the same hospital room, with a white cabinet between the two beds, displaying fresh white roses.

"What a coincidence, Sasuke." Naruto got up and sat cross-legged on the bed, pointing to the injuries on his body in an attempt to make Sasuke feel guilty. "Itachi Uchiha hit me."

Sasuke didn't react at all, turning his other half of his bruised face completely around, his eyes swollen high, and coldly uttering a sentence.

"Me too."

I posted two chapters early last night, this is an extra chapter, please don't kill me off, I'm scared!
