A/N: Sorry this took so horribly long to update everything has been like stupid busy and my computer is being a royal pain in the butt with all of its problems
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto characters they all belong to their amazing creator Masashi Kishimoto
"Well we ambushed them to split them up and get to the copy ninja, so at least that much worked. Too bad your katana went through the wrong one..."
"Ah well, at least it was the nine tails, so that's like getting bonus points anyways. And besides he's wounded now, plus he won't leave his team mate out here to turn into insect food so I'd say our job is done since he's not going anywhere anytime soon."
"Good enough for me, let's go grab something to eat; I'm hungry as hell over here!" As he kicked Naruto across the clearing, the blonde let out a yelp when the blade freed itself from the katana's handle and stayed in his chest. Laughing and walking alongside one another, the two rogue ninja disappeared into the thick of the trees. "See ya around Copy Ninja!"
Naruto lay there limply with blood staining his clothes and seeping into the ground. "Damnit..." His breath came out in rasps as the edges of his vision began to blur. Damn...come on move! You need to get up and make sure they didn't get to Kakashi-sensei! Move damnit! He willed his body to move, trying to get onto his knees; he felt the searing pain that was tearing through his chest.
"Naruto! Don't try to get up or move too much, just stay there and I'll come to you!" Kakashi's voice rang across the clearing and through Naruto's ears. It sounded far away and hollow, but he still listened to the orders that his sensei yelled out to him. Good, Kakashi seems to be safe...I succeeded in protecting him...If Kakashi-sensei is safe, then sleeping won't hurt anything...
Kakashi slid over across the clearing to the bleeding blonde. Knowing that his friend and pupil was in pain because of him, brought tears to the rims of his eyes. But he would not shed the tears because of the rules that came with being a shinobi, so he kept the feelings that were racking his mind within himself. Once he got to Naruto, he could see that the young blonde's eyes were closing as if he were simply falling asleep.
"Don't you dare Naruto! You can't go there and that's an order!"
The voice telling him to stay awake seemed to be impossibly far away, but it still sounded like Kakashi was trying to tell him something important. He tried to focus his bleary vision on the silver-haired nin, but had no success in doing so since everything still looked like a fuzzy and colourful mess of green from the forest. So he spoke out instead, hoping that his sensei could hear him. "Ka...kashi?"
"Good Naruto, stay awake you hear me! Stay awake!"
It was difficult to speak through the blood in his mouth and the lack of air in his lungs, but his voice weakly continued to work. "How is...your...your leg?"
"Of all the things for you to worry about at a time like this...I'm doing okay Naruto, I'll be fine."
"That's...good..." The blonde's eyes began to drift closed again as he started to fade.
"Naruto!" He looked like he'd fallen asleep as his eyelids finished their descent. "NARUTO!"
A/N: Well this was a short chapter, but so is my computer's life span tonight, hopefully this makes it out okay before my computer decides to leave me! Hopefully this keeps you guys attached to this story for a little while until I can get the next one out!
Obviously as you can see on the profile, this is the only thing I've ever written, and I am a review addict! So please leave reviews so that I can improve for you! - Sephoriya
