"Kurama! I need your help please, even with Sakura's healing his chakra is fading." Naruto yelled, staring at his old friends as they slowly faded. Sakura had a trail of blood coming from her mouth, and head. Their fight had truly taken a toll on her. She was covered in mostly her, and Sasuke's blood. Her vest was torn and the soles of her sandals felt worn to the point where they were as thin as a piece of paper.

Now Sasuke. He was in bad condition. He'd taken the most damage from their fight. His entire shirt was basically gone, save for a few scraps of it that got left behind. His pants were also torn in quite a few places. Don't ask anyone where his belt or anything else went because no one would be able to tell you. (They're pretty sure Kaguya destroyed it for her own enjoyment.

She coughed, her chakra flickering before truly dying out on the onyx-eyed boy that was covered in a mix of his and others blood.

"Naru… to." she choked out, before falling over onto her almost dead teammate. In this, Naruto felt her chakra move close to dying out.

"Kurama!" Naruto desperately cursed being born a jinchuuriki and not being able to heal without causing harm at this moment. Why couldn't he just help his friends? Naruto then realized - he felt Kurama taking over.

"Kurama! This isn't the time to try this, dammit!" Naruto crawled his way to his friends, if they were dying then fuck it, so was he. He didn't care if he had to take Sasuke's discarded blade and stab himself. As he felt Kurama fully take over, he promised the bastard he'd die a slow and painful fucking death, praying on the Uzumaki when he was this weak, mentally.

He watched as Kurama used his body to make a seal. Using the blood from his friends who were seconds away from their own deaths. Please just trust me, Kit. I'm only trying to help you.

Naruto kept his screaming though, kept yelling at Kurama for even daring to call him Kit when the demon fox was betraying him like this. I'm sorry kit, I hope they make it through this.

And then right as he felt Sasuke's chakra splutter as it tried to keep him alive, he saw Kurama go to press down on the seal he'd been making with one hand, and holding on to Sasuke and Sakura with the other. And then-

Well, then it was dark.
