The story is almost over! Will Naruto save everybody?

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.


(To Naruto)

"If that's true, that we lost our memories..then how do we get them back?" J asked, hyper about the situation.

"We'll find out once we find that boss guy." Naruto replied and shoved J forward. "We need to hurry."

"I understand." J nodded vividly and rushed ahead.


(To Laku)

Laku wiped his sword, making the blade sparkle beautifully.

"They..are almost here.." Laku whispered to himself and glazed over at his sword. "You will be able to kill more soon.."


(To Sakura and Miss Lindy)

"So..they will get their memories back, right?" Sakura asked, leaning closer to her.

Miss Lindy looked away and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Sakura, I suggest you get some medical equipment..they won't make it out without going through pain.." Miss Lindy said, ignoring Sakura's question.

"Yes, of course." Sakura nodded slowly and rushed to get the equipment.

"Who will be the sacrifice, I wonder?" Miss Lindy thought to herself and grasped onto her chest tightly in pain.


(To Naruto)

"We're here!" J announced and pointed at the huge, red door.

"So this is his room.." Naruto said mostly to himself as he looked around skeptically.


(To Laku)

Laku's eyes widened immensely, feeling a large power source open the door.

"They're here." Laku thought to himself and stood up.

"YOOOOO! It's me, Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto shouted as soon as he entered the room. "And I'm here for answers!"

"Now now, not so much at once child." Laku hushed him and walked around him. "Want a drink?"

"I'm not thirsty." Naruto groaned in annoyance. "I need answers."

"Hmph..fine." Laku huffed and went to sit on his chair. "Ask away."

"It's simple, how do I get everyone's memories back?" Naruto asked, getting his weapon ready just in case.

"What are you talking about?" Laku asked, pretending not to know.

"If you don't answer me, I will say your name.." Naruto answered in a threatening voice.

Laku flinched. He knew his name? Impossible!

"You're bluffing.." Laku accused, now standing up.

"Am I really? Laaaak-." Naruto tried to finish saying, but was quickly interrupted by Laku.

"Okay!" Laku interrupted frantically. "There's only one way."

"Tell me then." Naruto demanded, getting impatient.

"You do have to say my name to get their memories back..but.." Laku started explaining. "If you do say my name..I WILL try to stop you."

"...I see.." Naruto mumbled. He knew the consequences of his soon to be action, but he was willing to sacrifice himself. "I'll just have fight you anyway...LAKU!"

"Crap!" Laku cursed under his breath as the escape way appeared behind him.

Laku quickly drew his sword and pointed it towards Naruto.

"I won't let you leave!" Laku yelled in persistence as he lunged the sword at Naruto.

Naruto easily grabbed the sword's blade, but he in turn, got cut by holding the blade. He moaned in pain and let go of the blade, watching Laku's movements with sheer precision. He knew all along that a sacrifice would be made..but this guy..is tough.

Laku jumped in the air and lunged his sword forward, easily stabbing Naruto in the arm.

"GAHCK!" Naruto groaned, but at the same time tried to pull the sword out of his arm.

"Tsk tsk. You think I'll let you take that out? Think again!" Laku exclaimed as he plunged the sword even deeper.

"ACK!" Naruto shouted, spouting out blood from the pain.

"That poor guy.." Hinata whispered to J, feeling odd concern well up in her heart.

"Indeed.." J agreed quickly and looked around the room.

It seemed that Naruto drew Laku farther and farther away from the escape way, leaving the victims free to escape. Fortunately, J noticed right away and gestured for everyone to hurry up.

"Come on, Hinata. We have to hurry." J rushed after making sure everyone else escaped.

"GAHH!" Naruto screamed in horrible pain.

Naruto's arm was now completely unusable, and his leg was succumbed to the horrible stinging pain of daggers in it.

"Hurry up. It will be too late if we don't hurry." J urged, trying to get her to safety.

"I can't." Hinata declined instantly, her face grim and drowning in concern.

"Huh? Why?" J asked, confused.

"That guy that's saving us..I feel like there's some weird connection between us.." Hinata answered, showcasing a worried face. "My heart keeps on telling me to save him.."

J gaped. Hinata, even though her memory was gone, she still loved him.

"Hinata, I'm sorry, but we have to go." J apologized and grabbed her hand forcefully.

J had to save her, for Naruto.

"No!" Hinata snapped, smacking J's hand off of her. "I won't leave until I KNOW he's okay!"

J stepped back, shocked at her outburst. He knew this was..somehow what she wanted.

"Very well.." J said through clenched teeth and went into the escape hole.

"YOU CAN DO IT, NARUTO!" Hinata yelled uncharacteristically.

Naruto looked back at her, smiling warmly at her comment. He felt a slight motivation take over his body, and he took advantage of it. Instantly, he jabbed Laku in side with his kunai, leaving the man coughing on the ground.

"I-I did it!" Naruto stuttered a little, happy that he won.

Hinata on the other hand, was suspicious. Laku couldn't die so easily..could he?

Naruto ran right at Hinata, about to hug her. Hinata smiled at him, disregarding her suspicion for a much-needed hug. Then, of course..she was right all along.

Laku got up and ran up to him, except, from behind. It was too late to warn Naruto, Laku had all ready raised his sword. And in that split second, a choice was made.

"Naruto..." Hinata mumbled as she watched the blood flood all over the floor.

A sacrifice..was made.


As you may have noticed, I posted three chapters in a row.

Well, I did it to make up for taking so long with those other chapters. PLUS, I need to get you hyped up for the next chapter, because this one is pretty suspenseful.

The others were saved, but, what about Naruto and Hinata? Will they live?
