Chapter 1 : If You Survive This

"Naruto! Get up, we still have much of the battle to fight! Get up!" Jiraiya yelled at the blood covered blonde lying in the ground. "Get up! We'll fail if you don't stand up and fight! Get up!"

He twitched once, his cursed seal had already loosened again, he'd used all the Kyuubi's chakra he was given, but still, it wasn't enough. Orochimaru's men had become stronger, much stronger. yet again, Naruto was on a missiono to retreave Uchiha Sasuke. Him and Jiraiya had taken on the mission after Naruto had left for years of training. The time had now come, he and Jiraiya had gone to Orochimarur's lair, but were found, found by Uchiha Sasuke. Now they were older, nineteen to be exact, and much stronger. But now Sasuke was not Sasuke, he was colder, and set the attack against Naruto and his trainer, he was ready to kill. They both were.

Now must be the end, the end if his training, his life. He was in a pool of mud, of blood. It was over, the last blow he took was to the gut, blood oozed from the deep wound.

"Naruto! Get up! We're going to be killed!" Finally, he looked over. He saw what lay beside him, he saw the seal that now was covered in blood and mud, he saw the fatal wound to the chest. Jiraiya made his disicion.

He leapt over. He grabbed Naruto and ran, it was time to finally go home to Konoha, and to again, not have Sasuke, maybe not even Naruto.

In Konoha...

"Please class pay attention. If you want to become a ninja you must learn this matterial." A younge dark-haired woman spoke, she was Hyuuga Hinata, she was a teacher now.

Then the door to the class room swung open, revealing a frantic looking Sakura. "Hinata!" She pantted. " Naruto, he is back, and in critical conditioin! Hurry!" And with that, she was gone.

Hinata stood there in shock for a moment. "Class dismised for the next few days!" She flew out of the room after Sakura to the hospital where Naruto was.

"So please Jiraiya, tell me all that happened in this battle." Tsunade spoke calmly as she preformed her last healing techique on the poor blonde boy.

"It was a battle with Orochimaru's men, we tried to retreve Sasuke, and we failed yet again."

"I see." The ledgendary medic nin stood and closed the healing scroll. "This is all I can do now. If he survives the night, I'll preform more treatments, till then, we have to wait."

The door swung open. "Tsunade-sama!" It was her apprentice, Haruno Sakura, she had kept her short hair but now wore a red shirt , similar to her old no-sleeved dress, a tan skirt, and high black boots. "I'm here, is there anything I could do to help?" She panted, trying to catch her breath.

"No, Sakura," She took a deep breath. "This is all we can do for now. If he makes it over night, then we can treat him, but until then, we can only wait."

The pink-haired kunoichi slowly walked up to the sleeping blonde, the certain blonde who once was on her same team, the same blonde who had risked his life to keep his promis, but the same poor blonde who failed every time. Tears pooled up in her eyes, they streamed down her face in thick streams of salty water.

The door opened again slowly, but this time revealed no medicnin, just Hyuuga Hinata. She walked up to Sakura and looked down at Naruto's poor form. This was the boy who she loved and watched for years, the boy who she had waited for, years of waiting, and now that he had returned, it may only be for a short time, Naruto's life was slowly draining form his limp body. If this was what she had been waiting for, she'd have rather waited longer and for him to be in good health than for him to be so close to the line of no return, death. Now she too felt hot tears stream down her face.

The two girls tears fell on his bed, making small circles on the sheets.

Tsunade walked up to them and put her hands on their shoulders and spoke kindly " He may survive girls, no need to feel that he is dead. Remember that." She walked over to the desk coverred in scrolls and sighed. "Shizune, get me some of my other medical scrolls, Sakura, please could you get me some warm sake. Thank you."

Sakura stood up and whipped her eyes and walked out of the room with Shizune, leaving only three in the room.

'Naruto-kun, please live, please.' Thought the long-hair Hyuuga. She coughed because of her crying. This time she spoke, "Naruto-kun, you have to live, I... I love you." And with that she cried harder, her tears hitting Naruto's bruised and beatten face.

His left eye opened a small bit. "Really?" He coughed.

Tsunade and Hinata were taken aback by him being able to speak. But Hinata smiled and nodden, managing to say "yes,I do love you." through tears.

He smiled too, shutting his eye he driffed off into a painful sleep.

In his mind...

"Kit, why do you act so weak! You are dying! Live baka! If you die I die too!" An all to farmiliar voice spoke to him, this was Kyubi no Yoko.

"I'f I live I'll need rest. anyway, I'm not sure if I want to live." Naruto spoke to the fearsome beast infront of him.

"WHAT! Not want to live! How!" The beast screamed at the boy.

"I have caused so much trouble for so many people, with me gone Konohagakure will be safer."

"Baka! If you came one step closer you'd feel my true wrath!"

"If I am dying... let me die in peace." That was the end of his comversation with Kyubi.

Naruto' s heart beat went flat, he'd died.

Tsunade shot out of her chair and ran over to Naruto. Hinata had left already, it had been hours since Naruto had arived to Konoha again. "HE'S GONE! HELP! WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE OF BRING HIM BACK!" Shizune ran over. The two preformed many procedures, he regained a pulse. "Thank Kami, he came back." Tsunade sighed. " If not, I'm not sure anyone would be ready for that news. Shizune, bring in some more medical nins, if he goes again, I want to make sure we are more prepaired than now."

Shizune nodded. "Yes ma'am." She ran off to fetch the medical team.

The Fifth sat down, claerly exhausted from all of the work. "Naruto, if you survive, you really are fit to be Hokage." She shook her head and went back to work.
