"Get out of here now!" he yelled at Sasuke and Sakura. "Let me take care of this. You guys are too weak to do this right now. Go now!" Naruto then charged up a Rasengan and ran at Itachi.
Itachi pulled out a kunai and raced towards Naruto. They collided, Naruto narrowly missing Itachi with his Rasengan and Itachi slightly slashing Naruto's cheek with the kunai. They jumped backwards and began to size each other up for their next move.
'Dammit, we're evenly matched,' Naruto thought. Itachi charged at him once again, but this time at a higher speed. Naruto quickly side stepped out of the way of Itachi's attack and using his tails he picked Itachi up and flung him to the other side of the room.
Itachi flipped in the air and landed gracefully crouching on the ground. He stood up and smirked his Sharingan swirling.
"Well, well, well, Naru-chan, you sure have gotten stronger. I almost feel bad for what I'm about to do. Tsukuyomi!" Itachi's Sharingan stopped swirling as he looked Naruto dead in the eye.
"Naruto don't look in his eyes!" Sasuke screamed, but it was too late.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes. He was lying on his back strapped to some kind of cross-like thing. He looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was red and that the clouds were black and flying across the sky too quickly to be normal.
'What the hell?' he thought. Suddenly Itachi appeared in front of him. Then a hundred senbon appeared around Itachi and then flew straight at Naruto. They embedded themselves into Naruto's body.
Naruto screamed out in pain as the senbon sunk deeper into him. Blood slowly leaked out of the wounds that had just been inflicted by the senbon. Then just as suddenly as they had appeared they disappeared. Naruto panted harshly. Itachi chuckled.
"This is the world of Tsukuyomi. I control time and space. This is the same move that brought down your precious Kakashi-sensei when I came to visit you last Naru-chan," Itachi said. More senbon appeared and flew at Naruto once again. Naruto gasped as pain engulfed his whole body before once again disappearing just as quickly as they had come.
"With your precious sensei it had been 72 hours of me stabbing him with a sword, but since I like you I'll let you off easier. You will be stabbed with a thousand senbon every second for 24 hours non stop." A larger group of senbon appeared and just as before penetrated Naruto's skin. Blood flowed freely from the wounds as Naruto screamed in pain.
Naruto opened his eyes to see the same red moon and red sky that he had seen only moments ago. He looked forward and saw Itachi looking up at him smirking.
"23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds left to go." Itachi laughed as a cloud of senbon appeared and once again embedded themselves in Naruto's body. Soon Itachi's laughter was drowned out by Naruto's blood curdling scream.
Nice place for a cliffie don't you think??? -dodges produce once again- Geez you guys are mean I was just kidding.
Suddenly Naruto changed from his Kyuubi form to his human form. Scratches and other small wounds covered in blood appeared all over his body. He fell to his knees panting harshly before slowly falling forward onto the ground. Sasuke and Sakura rushed over to his body.
"Oh my God, Naruto!" cried Sakura turning Naruto over so that he was on his back and cradling his head in her lap. Sasuke glared at his brother and got into a fighting stance.
"Oh, don't be funny otouto. What could you do? You couldn't even get to poor Naru-chan in time to save him from all this. You're just a failure. Now it was fun but I must be off. See you soon my dear otouto. Take good care of Naru-chan I'll be back for him soon."
With that Itachi disappeared in a puff of chakra smoke. He reappeared on top of a ledge overlooking the giant room.
"Oh and yes, here is a parting gift for you three," Itachi said as he lazily tossed an exploding note (is that what you call those things???) down toward the group. Sasuke's eyes widened as he watched the note float slowly towards them.
Thinking quickly he grabbed Naruto and placed him on his back and linked his arm with Sakura's. Then he concentrated his chakra and made a few hand signs. Soon there was a pop and the three teens disappeared in a cloud of chakra smoke just as the exploding note hit the ground.
