Naruto: Fight or Die

I woke up again in the same room as I used. The flashes of what happened came back to me, the smell, the screams I could rembered it vividly. I couldn't move it felt like I was stuck under immense amount of weight. I saw three deaths over and over again as the ninja smiled with pleasure as he tormented and tortured the people close to me.

I screamed outloud in desperation and in helpness.

"Ahhhh!" Loket screamed. I woke up breathing heavily my I touched my heart to calm itsnaelf down. I looked around and everyone was sleeping soundlessly.

I watched as night was turning into the morning light.

" did something happen loket?" Asked himeko sensei on top the tree.

I looked up towards the tree where himeko sensei was standing. " just a bad dream. Have you not slept the whole night himeko sensei?" asked loket.

" someone has to keep watch or something like that will happen again" said himeko sensei.

I guess he feels guilty that he couldn't protect his comrade. It's Been two days since fuu sensei has died. We where half a day away from the hidden sand village, because we have been delayed we had to take minimum breaks on our walks.

I parkoured my up towards himeko sensei I stood next to him as the sun was coming up.

"Himeko sensei why aren't we travelling back home but instead we are getting further and further away. Wouldn't it be safer if we travelled back home after what happened "

Himeko stopped staring at the sun and he looked at me and said" I thought the same way but a letter personally from the hokage stated that he will arrive at the hidden sand village to watch the tournament. He suggested that we shouldn't turn back as your group is participating in the tournament"

" that's selfish. What if we get attacked again by those unknown ninjas and is there evev any report of who they are? Asked loket taking aback by the hokages choice.

" I know how you feel lolet but there is no reason to call our hokage 'selfish' he's doing his best to protect us. And about the ninjas who attacked they havent started to investigate yet" replied himeko sensei camly.

My face wrinkled in anger. How could they do this, there ninja just died and we where attacked and he is not doing anything about it. This is ridiculous. I didnt want to vent at himeko sensei as he looked troubled as I did.

I sat down on the branch and I watched the sun come up to calm my nerves. After a couple minutes the sun was fully out.

" I think is about time we started to move again, go pack your stuff and wake up the others" said himeko sensei.

I jumped down from the branch and I went towards liam where he was snoring annoyingly loud.

" ohhhh your giving me barbecue chicken and ramen you must really love me miss cake" said liam as he was kissing the sir.

I was disgusted but I had a idea. I placed my foot on his mouth and he started to kiss it but than his nose wrinkled in disgust. He opened his eyes quickly and he saw my face. I pulled my leg out the way in a flash.

" you bastard, you interrupted my time with lady cake" Screamed liam in anger. He run after me and I ran away towards where azerth was sleeping.

I grapped azerths sleeping body and used him as a shield to protect myself from liam.

" that's dirty play, face me like a man. " Said liam.

"No, I will use this shield that was put on my way to protect myself from a weirdo" said loket.

Liam tried to go behind me but I twisted azerths body backwards where liam was. I doing so I woke up azerth.

" huh?! Don't tell me your using me as a shield again, I told you not to bring me into your fights" said azerth annoyed.

" he's the one whose stared it, he woke me up while I was in middle of my kissing with lady cake" said liam with a straight face.

Azertha and I looked at like a weirdo. We both looked at eachother and than we stood up and walked away together.

" he's hopeless " said loket

" yes but we are there only friends he has. Lets support his... weirdness so jealous dosent go insane without us" said azerth somberly.

" Wait I'm not a weirdo... I think?" Said liam unsure if his friends where right.

.

.

.

We all packed upnand where ready to go. Himeko sensei checked if we where all ready and than he lead the way. I was walking besides liam as he was playing with his kunai in boredom.

" does your shoulder feel better " asked allison whinwas infront of me.

The injury that the ninja gave me was stitched up and bandaged by himeko sensei, he said that when we get to the sand village one of the medical nin will look at it for me.

" still hurts if I touch it but other than that I can still hold things and use my arm." Said loket.

"Good, I saw how you pushed that kunai deep inside of your shoulder. You will properly get a scar" said allison.

I nodded at allison. I watched as the sun was getting hotter. We are getting closer to the sand.

After a walking for two hours we enter the sand area which meant we where getting closer to the sand village. The sand was hot and the sun made evey mouths dry.

We walked tirelessly for nearly a half a day until we saw the dun going down. But luckily we the passage between two giant cliffs. The others had face of relief and excitement.

As we where near the the passage way two sand shinonbi appeared infront of us.

" what I'd your purpose here?" Asked one of the sand shinobi.

" we are here for the joint academy tournament, sorry If we have arrived late" said himeko sensei while giving a letter to the sand shinobi.

" looks okay and we where Informed of you reason of delay. The was supposed to be a guide taking you your hotels amd but as your group arrived late for good reason. I will take you straight to your hotel" said the sand shinobi.

Himeko sensei nodded and the sand ninja lead us inside the passage way. As we came out of the other end I saw a bustling street with many markets and people. The street lights made the place look comfortably beautiful making the night feel better.

I looked up wards where the whole village was covered in hills covering the village from sand storms and many otherthings. I saw a massive building in the middle of the village with the sand symbol on it.

But want suprised me is that every thing was made out of clay, the house and everything. The buildings where designed differently than the konoha buildings making it feel like a different world.

"Come on guys, stop being starstruck and follow us or you will get lost in the crowed" said himeko sensei.

We all started to follow himeko sensei and the sun ninja. I walked past many people who where having fun or drinking. We walked past a restaurants and many markets. There where many people shouting at us to come check out what they where selling.

I wanted to but Helena dragged me back. As we walking a couple of minutes we walked through a busy street with many lamps. Like there where lamps every few inches. We walked into a massive opened area with a building which looked like the hotel we where suppose to stay.

The shinobi took us towards a medium sized Building which had a massive sign writing 'eclipse hotels '. The building didn't look great front the outside. But as we entered there was a massive red carpet with white amazing sulptered pillars on each side that where connected which made it look beautiful.

as we enter through the pillars, the shinobi took us through another massive pair of white doors. As we entered I saw many of the same pillars scattered around. In front of us was reciption with a receptionist. Behind the women there was a pair of curved stairs leading to the second floor.

I looked to my left where many people where sitting and having a conversation. They sat on beatifull brown sofas which compliment the red carpet with patterns. The shinobi took us towards the reception.

As I got closer I looked up where I could see a massive shandies hanging from the far top. I saw many balcony's with people walking and and talking next to the balcony's having fun and laughing.

We arrive at the rectiption where a women was standing politely.

" how may I help you" asked the polite red haired women.

The sand ninja replied with" I'm escorting the konoha acdemy student and their sensei to their hotel rooms"

" ah yes I was notified that your group will arrive late. Let me just get your room numbers and keys" said the red haired lady.

The lady went back and searched our names on the folder. She proceeded to take out three keys from the front desk.

" I am correct that these five stufents are the participants." Asked the lady.

" yes" Answered the sand shinobi.

" then your rooms will be separate from you other classmates. Your rooms are at the top floor. There are only three keys. The number three hundred and sixty six numbered key is for the three boys called azerth,liam and loket, these boys will be sharing a room.

The number three hundred and sixty seven is for the two girls called helena and Allison. You guy will have asmaller room than the three boys but it is still luxurious. And lastly the key number three hundred and sixty eight is for himeko." Said the lady while giving the sand shinobi the keys.

The shinobi turned towards us and gave our keys to himeko sensei and proceeded to say" I will take you to your rooms after that if you want something to eat or something coming down here to the reception"

The shinobi took us up the curvy stairs not while we thanked the red haired lady. The stairs where wide and long it was had a red carpet with patterns like the floor. We walked through many floors and we saw many rooms util we reached the south floor which was the longest floor but with less doors.

We walked passed many doubled doors but we came to a stop as the ninja showed our rooms where right next to eachother in a row. The sand shinobi said his goodbyes and left us alone.

" I guess you guys should take a rest for a while before I call you to go eat something." Said himeko sensei while giving out the keys to us.

Azerth grapped our key as we went at the far end of the rows. Azerth opened the doors and it was dark. We entered inside the room and switched on the lights which where on the side of the wall next to the doors. The room lot up revealing a stunning living room which was big. It had many sofas and chairs. It also had a kitchen at the back.

But what was surprising is a massive long window which showed the whole of sand village. The lights illuminated the whole village making it look beautiful.

" who would have thought that we would stay in luxuries place like this" said liam in awe.

" the village is very big five times bigger than konoha." Said loket.

" let's fi d the rooms and decide which ones we can have." Said azerth.

We nodded an went through a corridor which had three doors. I picked the far back one, liam picked the closet one and azerth picked the one in the middle.

I opened the door and the room was pitch black. I switched on the lights and i saw a spacious room with a single bed. There was a small window at right of the room and it had a small desk with a lamp on top of it.

I dropped my bag on the bed and laid Down. I sunk into comfortness, unlike the hard earth I has to sleep on this felt like heaven.

I laid for a few minutes until I thought about how long it took to get here. for the others it was a week but for me it was three months but even that didn't feel like three months with the constant deaths and pain those three months felt like a year, it was mentally draining.

Thinking about it now it feels strange that I'm not stuck in that loop. I dismissed thinking about what happened and cosed my eyes for a short nap.

.

.

The memories of me being killed flashed through my head. The brutality that the ninja slaughter my friends was etched in my mind it almost felt vivid, I remember every detail, every scream. I watched as their heads where cut off cleanly while there faces where showed disbelief and pain.

" lo..lok..loket!" Screamed azerth

I awoke from the scream. My body was sweating and my breath was heavy.

" is something wrong?" Asked azerth concerned.

I looked towards azerth and I stardy my breath and said" I'm alright just a bad dream"

"O..kay, we have to leave the girls are waiting outside the corridor" said azerth.

I nodded and we went outside the room. Helena, Allison and liam where waiting outside the corridor for me. Me and azerth walked up to them.

" well look who finally woke up from his slumber, we had to wait five minutes." Said liam annoyed.

I ignored liam while I asked the girls where himeko is.

" he's down with the other jonins and students. They are preparing for us to go eat something" said allison.

I nodded and said " let's go then"

We walked down the long stairs until we saw a group of students with konoha four konoha ninja with headbands.

" well look who finally appeared. You made us wait for a long time. Your group even made us delay the tour that we suppose to have because you guys came late." Said a boy from our class.

I walked passed him and ignored him but the boy was persistent. He grapped my shoulder stopping in my tracks.

" don't ignore me you damn clown. I heard what happened to your group. I bet you coward away while the others protected you." He said before coming closer to my ear " I bet it was your fault that the sensei died"

I felt the memories rush through my mind as I rembered fuu sensei's dead body and the others being slaughtered by the ninja. My eyes went cold. I felt my body blaze in cold anger.

My face was steady and calm. I grapped the boys handed off my shoulder while I turned around staring at him. I wanted to kill him.

"Wwhat... do you.." the boy could not finish his sentence as he felt lokets blood lust.

The whole room went cold every one stopped, they didn't know why but there bodies where uneasy. Some of the students felt like they where suffocating from some kind of pressure.

Loket didn't utter a word but his intent was clear he didn't want to argue, he didn't want to fight, he just wanted to kill the boy infront of him. Loket wanted to grap his throat but he was stopped by himeko sensei.

" that's enough loket. Control yourself" said himeko in a strict voice.

Loket came back and the air around the hall settle making everyone feel at ease. Himeko looked liam and the others signalling to take loket somewhere else from the boy. Liam and the others dragged loket somewhere else from the scared boy.

A konoha jonin came next to himeko and asked" was that the boy who unleashed that terrifying bloodlust?" Asked the leaf jonin.

" yes, don't worry it was just a boy who provoked loket" said himeko sensei.

" that boy who killed the chunni ninja. I see now I understand why he was able to win, that boy has seen death to early" said the leaf jonin sympathetically.

' to brutally murder a person would change someone even a innocent child." Rhoght himeko.

Himeko watched as the inzuka child was frightened and shaken. " If you dont mind take the child to his room" asked himeko to the jonin.

The jonin nodded in understanding and took the shakened boy.

Visions of me dying and looping came flooding through my mind. I pushed liams hand away while I leaned with one hand on a wall which was next to me. My clutched my heart trying to calm it sown but my breath kept getting shallower. I heard the others scream at me.

" loket what is going on with you?" Asked azerth in concern.

Lolet didn't answer he face ws slowly getting more pale.

" what is going on with him?" Asked liam confused and worried.

" he must be having a panic attack." Answered Allison.

" what do we do? How are we suppose to deal with this?" Asked azerth.

" well if we make him focus on something else, that might let his body naturally allow him to breath." Said allison.

" OK but how?!" Said liam inpatient.

" I.. don't know It could be anything" said Allison.

"What are we suppose to do azerth?" Asked liam.

Azerth thought about for a long time but he could bit find the answer. Helena grapped loket brought him in a hug.

" it's OK we are here for you" said Helena calmly.

I felt helena bringing me into a hug which suprised me but her soothing voice made him focusing on it. Stadily my breath came back to me and my heart felt like it was calming down.

When I calmed down I I looked around my friends faces which was full of worry.

"I'm fine it was just.... just my asthma. So helena you can let go of me now. Im all better" lied loket to make the others less concerned.

" you actually think we would beleve that lie. What is really going on with you?" Asked helena while she unhugged me.

I looked at the others who didn't beleve me either. What should I say to them even I don't understand what's happening to me.

" loket we are your friends you can trust us" said azerth.

I was silent I didn't know what to say. I wanted to tell them I looped back for three months and watched being killed hundreds of time. That It feels suffocating when I rembered that I was stuck in a constant loop. But the words didn't t come out they felt suck in my throat.

" tell us what is troubling you loket. Is it because of fuu sensei's death?" Asked helena.

" yeah I guess his death affected more than I thought. I didn't want to worry you guys as you looked to be having fun" said loket lying.

" I thought so, your not the only one I feel like witnessing someone who you know died makes you feel how easy it is to die. " Said Helena trying to comfort loket.

"We all changed, seeing somebody die is shocking but of we stick together we can help eachother" said azerth.

" thanks guys,I feel a bit better. But I am hungry from that long journey and eating rations is not appetising. Let's join the others towards the reasturant" said loket.

" me too I sick of dried beef jerry. Let's go eat some hot food." Said liam.

We walked towards himeko sensei and the others. The receptionist took us to the right from the rectiption which had big double doors.

To the suprise there was a huge room full of tables and chairs all you can eat buffet. We graped our food and sat together. Once we finshed himeko sensei told us to head to our rooms as we will wake early in the morning. I said goodbye to the others and I went to my room.

But i slept for only a hour before I was flashed with the memories from the loop. I stayed awake the whole night as I feared to rembered about that night.
