He was long gone. It was just Naruto and I left.

Naruto had a lethal wound to his chest.

Sasuke had given it to him. I tried to crawl closer to heal him, but my own wounds from our battle with Sasuke cut my strength close to zero. No matter what was in my way I was going to heal him. Slowly, I inched toward him.

"I'm so sorry." Naruto said, his voice raspy and beat.

"Don't worry about it." It seemed to take ages, but I finally got close enough to him. I held a hand above his bloody chest. My hands glowed green.

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Sasuke's lost."

"What?" He asked.

"He doesn't know what to do. I think that perhaps he didn't plan anything after killing Itachi."

"He was expecting to die?"

"I think so." I tried to force a smile. Naruto needed it. Bad.

"We will get him back." Naruto assured. His voice wasn't convincing, how weak it was. "Believe it, Sakura-chan."

I tried my hardest not to burst into tears. No matter how much experience he gained he still always held people to his standards. Naruto thought everyone was capable of changing for the good. I didn't know why, but Naruto's ignorance seemed to give survival much more value.

"He will find his way back to us. Sasuke's just too much of a teme. Am I right?"

Naruto chuckled. It was strangled, but it was true. "He's just lost."
