'Pointless.' Naruto's gaze spread throughout the entire ruin battleground, each overturned stone and ruined wall seemed to be mocking him, cursing him. 'Was it all pointless? Sasuke…he's…gone.' Naruto sighed quietly as he quickly moved away from the group in blur and stop in a massive flattened clearing, the startled and annoyed shouts of his companions in background.

"What could have flattened this? The rest is so much more…destroyed." Naruto gazed around until he saw it, the massive scales of a destroyed snake and frowned. 'Was this Sasuke's? Or was it…' his thoughts were broken by a sudden blow to the back of his head.

"Don't just run off like that!" Sakura's angry, and concerned voices seemed to have merged for this occasion. Naruto instinctively rubbed his sore head and muttered an apology before gasping and grabbing Sakura's hand and pulling on it, pointing into the nearby ruins and rubble, between the massive scales and destroyed stone. A body was laying face down in the ground, bloodied. Sakura followed his finger until she saw the body and bolted, Naruto on her heals with the rest moving to follow.

"Sakura-"

"Not right now, she's badly injured." Sakura hissed to him, in annoyance as she began to heal the wounded girl.

'Where could she have come from?' Naruto asked himself quietly, then a deft pain swarm through his head and he almost screamed out in pain as his world began to darken all he could remember was a cool voice whispering.

"Where…indeed."

Naruto: Vision of Immortality

Naruto shot straight up huffing and puffing as he did, he rubbed his tired eyes and then looked around he was in a hospital room, that much he knew immediately. It was morning, and there was a closed curtain across from him and an empty bed next to that. 'I'm in a room for four patients.' A dark haired girl sleeping in the bed next to his, her raven hair spilled onto the white pillows and still hung off the sides slightly captured Naruto's gaze.

'She's asleep…' he mused as he took a better look at her, she had a cute enough face he decided, and she kind of reminded him of a cuter version of Haku, 'well maybe a less mature looking Haku.' He mused again at the unknown girl's expense. The door suddenly opening and Ino walking in with a clipboard and Nurse Outfit on interrupted Naruto's thoughts instantly. She glanced over at Naruto before walking up and smiling, making sure she checked the time, it was just a little after eight.

"Finally awake huh?" She said with a teasing, but hushed tone. Naruto nodded and smiled a toothy grin.

"Of course! So, you work here now?" he asked as Ino giggled a bit at his obvious question.

"Duh, or did you think I came here to visit you dressed like this?" she almost broke up laughing at the red that suddenly lit Naruto's cheeks, and a devious plan was hatched as he pondered her clip board and nodded. "Anyway I need to just make sure everything is alright, you have been asleep almost a week." Naruto's childish frown was an entertaining expression she decided as she began to use a medical jutsu on Naruto. However, she made sure to lean just a bit too far onto him as to allow him to feel her and to see her assets as well. It took every fabric of her composure to not fall over laughing, at his face even as a drop of blood crawled from his nose, and the color of red painting his face.

'Oh man, Ino must not have noticed…oh man…if she does she'll kill me...' he was almost frantic until he felt a quiet pulling it wasn't something he could recognize it wasn't the feeling of his prisoner it was something else calling from deep within. Naruto's vision swam, he felt light headed and yet almost empowered, he convulsed in pain for a moment.

Ino noticed this and frowned as she pulled away and moved to ask Naruto is something was wrong however, the moment she opened her mouth to speak she felt Naruto's warm hand begin to brush her left cheek. "Shh. Ino, it's okay…I am fine now." Naruto's voice was smooth, and the words seemed to flow like silk. She felt her own cheeks light up at Naruto's actions. A part of her was screaming to pull away or hit him, but the second he touch her neck a warm feeling filled her entire body and she almost melted into the bedded Naruto. 'Oh God! This is Naruto!? H-How can he make a simple touch feel like…like…heaven.'

"Na-Na…" she stuttered, her clipboard tumbling to the floor, she felt herself, almost clamoring for his touch once he stopped. "Na-ru…" the rest was lost as she collapsed onto him and a almost cocky smirk rested on his face, as she leaned her head up to gaze into his blue orbs, shinning almost brimming with confidence and strength. Then she felt herself drawn into him a hand wrapped around her and a smile on his face, a smile almost devious, but it had an air of something more.

"Ino, if I needed you…would you be there?" he asked his voice calmer than it had ever been. Ino's reaction to his touch was a warm feeling as she nodded almost as if it was a dream "Do you promise Ino, do you swear?" again she nodded. Naruto's grin widened as he leaned down to meet her lips, with his. Then she began to slide her shirt off slowly, and he smiled as she did, laying a gentle nip on her neck, causing a deep moan to escape her lips.

Ino shook her head, and recovered the clipboard from the floor; the perverted images in her head caused her to blush. Naruto was looking up at her rather confused, she was moving so suddenly he was just lost. "S-sorry, I will tell them your doing just fine." As she turned to leave, she twitched slightly as she felt soreness well up in her lower body 'Damn, I must have used more chakra than I thought when I looked him over.'

Naruto watched her leave and sighed; he was a bit confused, as to her action but shrugged and sighed. Then something caught his eye, the clock said it was already after noon. "What the…?" he shook his head and frowned before shrugging it off 'I guess it was later than I thought…'

--Nurse's Station—

Ino fell back into a empty chair in the Nurse's Station and looked around, before blinking. 'Sakura? But her shift is after mine today.' "Here early today, forehead?" Sakura glanced back at her and blinked "Uh, Ino why are you still here? Weren't you off at ten?"

Ino nodded and then looked over at the clock "Yeah but its only…Twelve…thirty…"

Sakura sighed and nodded "Busy? Must have been a big problem to make you lose time like that."

Ino frowned and tried to recall the hours she lost but only drew a blank. "Yeah. I guess so." Ino moved to stand but collapsed back into the chair and sighed "I guess you are right, I am so sore I can barely stand."

Sakura barely held back a giggle "'Hard' work huh?" Almost instantly Ino was on her feet, even as she winced she stomped up to her friend.

"Screw you, Forehead." Ino was glaring a hole into her best friend as she slowly walked out. Once she was gone, Sakura sighed and rubbed her neck absent-mindedly. Ino's clipboard caught her eye and she smirked before she picked up the clipboard and frowned "Naruto?"

'Wait, she walked in there at eight, and comes back now? Does that mean…?' she growled almost without thinking about it, she twitched slightly and the clipboard was fragmented on the ground. Startled she looked down at the pieces before sighing.

"Why did I…?"

--Naruto's Hospital Room—

Naruto frowned as he looked down at his hand, blinking slowly going over the past few days slowly "Itachi…dead, Sasuke…gone." He clenched his fists tightly and frowned deeply, his eyes were narrow and he already felt a silent rage coming over him, he could almost feel the fox trying to take control.

"No! I won't!"

"I Will Be Free!" He could feel, as well as hear the fox roar, he was clenching his mouth shut as he saw every image of his lost friend and the man that had died continue to flash through his mind's eye somehow making the rage build without his ability to control. The room was being torn apart from the violent release of his prisoner's chakra, the bed he was sitting in was almost ribbions, the room was in worse shape.

Then suddenly the rage was gone, a icy cold grasp enclosing his clenched left hand, a calm if saddened feeling filled him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see the raven haired girl's golden eyes staring back into his, he blushed quietly as he looked at her. All of her hospital gown was shredded to bits, and she was bleeding, from several cuts.

"Its okay, you don't need to feel it. You don't need to feel the loneliness." Her voice was soft, and gentle. Tears fell slowly from her eyes as she looked up at him, he couldn't help but hug here and share their pain together, her bloody body pressed against him as he heard the clicking of the door opening.

--Outside Naruto's Hospital Room—

Sakura shook her head 'I need to know…what they were doing. I mean...' She frowned as she opened the door to the room slowly "Naruto…"
