Sakura shook with terror. The red eyes of the nine tails bored into her very soul.

"N-naruto....w-what...!?" Sakura couldn't speak.

" Kurama raised a brow.

Sakura shut her mouth and nodded feircly, still unable to speak.

" Kurama chuckled lightly.

Sakura swallowed her fear done and growled.

"SO! YOUR THE ONE WHO HURT HIM!" Sakura pointed an accusing finger at him.

"Kurama laughed.

Naruto looked at him but only saw red and he shuddered. Sakura gasped as everything turned into blood. And the water rose above them, and also turned to blood. Kurama eyes were only visible, glowing brightly.

Sakura couldn't breathe and she winced. Naruto only looked into the red eyes with saddened ones. Sakura saw her death in multiple ways and teared up. She blinked and it was all gone. She whipped her head around and then at Kurama and took another step back.

Naruto stood and walked to the cage but far enough to be just out of Kurama's reach. He eyed him.

"Let her leave." Naruto said.

"Kurama laughed.

Naruto suddenly felt chains wrap around him and Kushina walked up and hugged him. Naruto looked down with an angry look. She smiled. He hadn't notice she moved him forwards. Kurama ran his claws out and it stabbed Naruto's shoulder. Naruto yelled in pain.

"CHA!" Sakura punched Kurama's hand.

He turned to her. Naruto's eyes glowed red and he ripped from the chains. Hw pulled her into a hug and looked at her. She looked at him with shock.

"..." he looked down.

Suddenly she blinked and was back in the clearing, where Naruto laid there...fully healed. He was looking at her.

"Naruto...are yo-"

"Fine...now let's go." Naruto stood and walked only a few steps before collasping.

"Naruto!" Sai and Yamato ran to him.

Sakura stood and followed behind them.

"I'm fine." Naruto stood.

"Naruto yoyr still weak." Yamato groaned.

"IM FINE!" Naruto growled loudly.

Sakura helped him to his feet and together they sped off. Sai and yamato followed. Sakura looked at him.

"So...He has been like that for your whole life?" Sakura asked.

"No. He started being a dick once I became a genin..." He said with heavy sarcasm.

"...naruto..." She frowned, feeling terrible for him.

"" Kurama cackled within Naruto's mind.

".... Naruto shoved Sakura away from him and fell behind the group and looked ahead.

Showing no emotion.
