A/N After writing 'Killed' I had guilt for killing off the most ass kicking girl on the face of shonen manga. Luckily, L comes right after K.

L is for Live

Once Sakura's heart beat evens out again, Tsunade (who has already chewed her nails down to nothing in worry) lightly suggests, then tells, then orders Naruto to go home or else.

When he refuses, she calls him an idiot and slams the door so hard that the I.V. falls over and Shizune runs in to fix everything.

Later, Tsunade comes back with a blanket and a bottle of sake, but Naruto is already asleep in the chair. Tsunade just goes back to her office, plays a hand of black jack to make sure her luck hasn't gotten any better, and drinks the entire bottle herself, toasting everyone dead she can think of.
