Chapter 12 good bye
Naruto looked around feverishly. "Sasuke! Sasuke where are you?" he swam in little circles in one spot trying to make sure he didn't miss anything. He looked down in the water and noticed it was red instead of the crystal blue it always was. Naruto shook his head from side to side. "No... There is no way…Sasuke can't be… DAMN IT SASUKE!" now Naruto was even more determined to find Sasuke then ever. He scanned over the waters surface to see where the most blood was. Not even a foot from the shore was the most blood. That was the spot. Naruto took off in that direction as fast as he was able to swim; diving under the water he forced his eyes open to look for Sasuke. He followed the blood trail down under the water. Deeper and deeper. But then the blood was just everywhere around him. He knew Sasuke had to be close. But he still couldn't find him. 'Damn it damn it damn IT I will find you Sasuke. So you had better not die!' Naruto swam towards the bottom trying to see if Sasuke had drifted to the side or any where else. But nothing. Absolutely nothing was there. Naruto was getting frustrated. He spun around in the water and saw an air bubble slowly raise past him. He shot his gaze down from where the bubble would have come from and time stopped.
There in the weeds was Sasuke Uchiha, totally still. The moons rays seemed to illuminate his pale skin in an unnatural way. The red blood slowly seeped from his wounds causing a red ring to surround him. Eyes closed, no breathing, no movement, nothingness. His body floated perfectly among the weeds as though this was were he belonged. In this simplistic spot in the world. A spot were nothing would ever disturb him from his sleep.
Naruto starred transfixed for a long moment. So many thoughts raced through his mind. But two stuck out the most. The first was is this real? Could Sasuke really be just lying here dead? The second was there was no way that could be Sasuke. Sasuke would never die in such an uncool way. Never! Sasuke couldn't be dead! Then something broke his thoughts. Something shinned in his eyes and made him blink. It was Sasuke head band catching the moons rays just right and causing them to reflect through the water. As it happened Naruto's senses came back to him. 'I have to get us out of the water.'
He swam over to Sasuke pulling lightly on his wrist. Sasuke's body floated up to him in a slow sluggish way. He pulled Sasuke closed wrapping his arms around his waist. He swam towards the surface. As he swam thick red blood was all he could see above him. His eyes narrowed in to try and hold back the tears that wanted to leak over. Legs kicked powerfully against the water in an attempt to get out of this hellish place. Finally he reached the surface and gaped for breath. His body chilled as he noticed Sasuke didn't even try to take in air.
"Sasuke come on." With one arm around Sasuke's waist to keep him above the water he took the other and caressed his cheek. "Come on you can't die like this. You just can't. There was so much I had to tell you. So much I wanted to share with you. You can't leave me all alone. I don't want to be alone again. Please Sasuke. Just look at me one more time. You promised. You promised me." Naruto's control was slipping. Sadness over took him. 'So this is the end.' Naruto thought. He pulled Sasuke against his skin. He whispered in his ear words that no one else would ever hear. Words meant only for Sasuke. Tears rolled freely down his face as he said them.
Then suddenly Naruto heard them. He Hand known it was only a matter of time till Tsunada and her elite ninja would arrive. But he had wished it had been sooner. If only they had arrived sooner Sasuke would be ok. And none of this would have happened. He looked over in her direction and saw her stern face assessing the situation. His eyes met hers as she scanned the scene before her. For a moment he saw her strength waver.
"Naruto…" she asked not knowing what to expect as an answer. She looked with horror at all the dead bodies and then to Naruto. Her heart wept for him. Never had Naruto looked like this. So weak, so broken, and mostly so hurt. It broke her sprit to see him so hurt. But she had to stay focused. She had a village to protect. 'That's right I have to protect the village first and my heart second.' Her strong voice rang over the ninja all around her.
"Retrieve Sasuke and detain Naruto." Eight ninja jumped onto the water and ran at Naruto with god like speed. With in moments the elite ninja had pried Sasuke from Naruto and had them both to the shore. The one with Sasuke in his arms laid him face up on the ground in front of Tsunada.
She bent over and touched his chest were his heart would have been beating. But there was nothing. She would not let him die though. Not the one boy who cared about Naruto. She focused her charka into her palms and went to work. Much like a deliberator would work in our world she went to work on Sasuke's heart. If she was able to jump start his heart she would be able to save him. Blow after blow went through Sasuke's body with no effect.
Naruto was pinned to the ground watching as Tusnada tried to bring Sasuke back to life. He prayed with all his heart that this would work. If there was ever a person in the world who would be able to save Sasuke it was her. After what felt like years Sasuke's finger twitched. Naruto opened his eyes wide. "SASUKE!" He struggled to get free and run to Sasuke's side but it was futile. As soon as he had moved the ninja applied more force to him making it impossible to move at all now. He's alive! He's alive! Naruto felt warmth fill his body for the first time that night since the fire works. Sasuke was going to be ok. He was going to live.
Tsunada took charge of the situation yet again. "Team A take this boy to the hospital and tell them to put him under intensive care and I shall fellow behind you shortly. Team B I want…" she stopped and looked around at all the dead. It sickened her. But this would have to be done sooner or later. And it was much better sooner then later. "I want you to go inform the families of those who departed here of what happened. But leave out the detail of who did killed them. I need to know exactly what happened before we point and fingers. Especially in a situation like this one." All the ninja looked at each other worried.
Only one had the courage to speak up. And he did so as he removed his mask. It was kakashi. "Lady Tsunada what are you going to do with Naruto? And one of us should stay with you. As you said you don't know what happened and it might be dangerous for you to be left alone." He tried to plead with her. If Naruto was still possessed by the fox she would be killed in an instant.
"You don't think I can handle this myself." All the ninja feel quite. "I am the leader of this village and as such the village will always come first. Now I believe you all were given orders. I expect all of you back at headquarters by 8 this morning. Now go. If I need you I will signal for you all to come to me. Until then I expect those orders to be excuted perfectly" her confidence was such that none dared to question her judgment.
"HAI" they all yelled and disappeared.
But Naruto's eyes never left Sasuke as they took off with him. He had a feeling this would be the very last time he ever saw Sasuke. And just as Sasuke disappeared from view the warmth left with him. Naruto gulped to hold back his tears. From this point on he had to be strong. Stronger then he had ever been. Especially if he ever wanted to see Sasuke again. But until that time he had to survive no matter what. The words left his mouth with out him even thinking about them. Because his mind all ready knew what his heart would not except. This was good bye forever.
"Good bye Sasuke."
