Naruto yelled in fear and trama as one of his worst fears was playing out before his eyes....being eaten alive. Naruto yelled and freaked out, trying to move, but the slippery walls of the snake wouldn't allow it. One because of the wetness. And two, because of the crushing force of the muscle.

Naruto winced as the walls of its stomach began to slowly crush him. He yelled and forced his hands together and infused chakra.

"IM NOT BECOMING ONE OF YOUR MEALS YOU FILTHY SERPANT!!!" Naruto practically screamed.

Over fifty clones formed at once and they made cloned of their own. They all yelled and grabbed Kunai and began to stab the stretched out muscle. The snake roared and fell limp. Naruto slice his way out and the clones vanished leaving his saliva and blood covered body alone.

Naruto went alert as he heard the clash of Kunai and yelling. Naruto growled and ran for his team, determined to protect them from that devilish snake. He ran into the clearing and ran into the trees and caught up with his team. Naruto arrived and got in the way from a Kunai, hitting Sakura and Sasuke's head, and sliced the blades in half.

"N-naruto...the lady from before. She is an enemy not to be underestimated, get away, she's dangerous." Sasuke stood, his Sharingan activating.

Orochimaru chuckled and his neck extended, taking everyone by surprise. Naruto tackled Sakura out of the way but missed Sasuke, and Sasuke was bitten in the neck, and marked with the curse mark.

Sasuke yelled in pain and Orochimaru returned his head to the rightful place above his shoulders. Naruto dashed to Sasuke and gripped his Kunai.

"I WONT LET YOU HAVE HIM!!!" Naruto stabbed Sasuke's neck and carved out the curse mark and tore the chunk of flesh that was marked by him out.

Sasuke yelled in tremendous pain.

"NARUTO!!!" Sakura shrieked.

Naruto jumped in front of them and yelled, his eyes red and his fangs and claws bared. Sakura and Sasuke looked at him with slight fear. Naruto hissed and got on all fours, his Fox ears and tail reappeared and his roared.

"YOU WONT WIN!!!" Naruto hissed.

'Hmhmhm...my dear boy...I already have...full moon...at the shop you love most...the night this is over..." Orochimaru walked forwards and ripped the skin of, revealing his true looks. "You know what i mean...soon...everything will be mine..." he then vanished into the tree.

"NARUTO SASUKE IS BLEEDING TO MUCH!" Sakura stuffed a part of her shirt she tore off into the wound."WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO MY SASUKE!? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HIM!? HOW DARE YOU!!!" Sakura yelled, tears falling angrily from her hate filled eyes.

Naruto winced and looked down. He tore his shirt off and stuffedit into the wound and wrapped it up properly. He didn't respond to her. He couldn't...

Sasuke let Naruto help him to his feet. Naruto wore his jacket so no bare skin was exposed and he zipped it up, so his seal was covered. Naruto felt something hit the back of his head and he turned to see an Earth scroll on the ground.

"Here..." Naruto gave Sasuke the earth scroll. "Keep it safe." He then turned and walked forwards.

The tail and ears slowly vanished. Naruto and team seven walked towards the tower in the center of the training grounds and eventually found it and walked in, opening the scrolls and finding a room in almost record time.

Naruto ignored Sakura's anger and Sasuke's glaring and sat down and sighed shakily, now in a room alone.

He hated this feeling so much...the one that Sakura started.

The glare

The nasty words...

It Hurt...
