Chapter 11: Tight Rope Walking
-X-
Summary: When Sakura dies, Naruto uses a forbidden jutsu to revive her, but this jutsu doesn't require chakra to be used. One week after the usage of the jutsu, the user dies. No way out. What's an Uzumaki to do?
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and never will. However, I wish I could draw like Kishi does.
A/N: Hmmm…. Somebody suggested to me on my last chapter that I should turn this into one big one-shot when I'm done. My thoughts? No. I love my story the way it is and I'd like to keep it as is. I'm quite familiar with the way people and writers work here on Fanfiction and I like keeping chapter stories in their original format. The way they were written. Like that. It's just my style. So, sorry.
"Blah, blah, blah" - Talking
'Blah, blah, blah' – Thinking (To self)
"Blah, Blah, blah" – Jinchuuriki talking to demon/Flashback Talking
"Blah, blah, blah" – Demon talking to Jinchuuriki
'Blah, blah, blah' – Demon thinking (To self)
-X- means scene change. The dots are just there to make the page look pretty. :P
Here's chapter 11. I realize that updates are slow. I mean, I hadn't even realized that I had been working on this for almost three months, after all. However, this chapter is the second or third to last chapter, unless I decide to extend it.
And yes, Day 5 will be the last day.

Day 5

Naruto looked around at the friends his family had made in all their years.
The finale of the second to last Uzumaki was about to start.

"S-s-so, Naruto-kun is the K-Kyuubi!?"
"What!? No way!" Sakura shouted, growling, "And what's wrong with the Kyuubi!? She's actually very nice, I should know, she's hypothetically my sister, soon to be the mother of my brother's child. Kyuubi may be a demon, but she was tricked into attacking Konoha by Orochimaru."
Kakashi nodded, "Orochimaru killed the Kyuubi's children and claimed that Minato-sensei was at fault, having ordered him to do so."
Asuma blinked, "So she went on a rampage and tried to destroy Konoha?"
"Yup!" Sakura nodded with a smile, "And the only way to make up for it in the eyes of Naruto's father's clan is for her to watch over Naruto, dubbing herself as his older sister, or wife. Which I guess she's more wife than sister now."
Ino twitched, Kiba looked about ready to barf, and Neji was ready Hinata's barf bag.
"That's strange." Shino simply said.
"And troublesome…" Shikamaru muttered, "So, let's get a move on. How do we get up there?"
Sakura smirked, "Like this, lazy bones." She took the kunai and threw it at the edge of the brand-new lake-like hole that was where Whirlpool country had been previously. "Now, watch." Suddenly, the ribbon lit up with a carroty red glow and shot off towards the floating island, effectively connecting to the other side.
"How does that help?" Kurenai asked, sweat dropping as Lee suddenly jumped into action.
"Ahhhh! Sakura-san! You are brilliant! To get to the prize, we must use our youth and walk gracefully across this tight rope!"
…
"We have to what?"

A/N: You know, when people say 'longer' and 'chapter' in the same sentence, I tend to believe they want me to write longer chapters. So I tend to love torture and… make them shorter. :3
Chapters can always be shorter.
