Chapter 12-The beginning and the end
"Naruto-kun…"
I can hear her calling to me…but I just don't have the strength to answer her…I just want to…
"Naruto!" Hinata painfully screamed. She was loud enough that everyone could hear her. (Although it wasn't intentional) when they looked over to where it had come from, they saw Hinata, crying, and clinging to Naruto's clothes.
Hinata looked down at Naruto and noticed that his breathing was getting slower and slower. She had to do something, but all that she could think of was to take the sword out of him. So she leaned forward, wrapped her hands around the sword, and pulled it out. It was unbearable. As she pulled the sword out, she saw the look of agony on Naruto's face. Before she knew it, Sakura had made her way over to them.
"Hinata, I will heal him, but I will need you to fight in my place." Sakura told her.
I know I should help, but I just don't want to leave Naruto's side. What if something happens to him while I'm gone…what if he…dies…
"Hinata, hurry!" A ninja was about to attack Hinata while her back was turned, but he got a major surprise when he found himself on the ground, and unable to use his chakra.
Hinata looked down at him with her byakugan activated.
"I don't have the time for this! So just stay down!" She told him-and the surprising thing about that was, that she was yelling (wow) and she let her anger show.
Sakura immediately began to try healing Naruto.
I know that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to heal him as much as he needs. I'm just not up to that level of healing yet. But I can make the bleeding stop, and wrap the wound up just enough until I get to Tsunade. That's just all that I can do.
While everyone was busy fighting, Itachi snuck up behind Sasuke.
"Hello Sasuke." Itachi smirked down at him. "Before you even think you are strong enough to defeat me, well, maybe this will set you straight." He whispered into Sasuke's ear.
Sasuke looked behind him, with a shocked look on his face. But before he could do anything, Itachi used his chakra to grab hold of him.
"Sasuke, isn't it fun to add drama to the story? I mean think of this: the young Uchiha trained for years so that he could defeat his brother and avenge his family. But unfortunately for him, he let his guard down. So his brother snuck up behind him and inflicted serious pain on him. That way, the young Uchiha would have some time to re-think his life goals in the hospital." Itachi laughed.
Akamaru had told Kiba about what he had just heard, (With Itachi) but before Kiba could make it over to help Sasuke, Itachi had used all of his power to throw Sasuke against the cement wall across the room. Sasuke hit the wall, hard enough that it left a dent, and smoke surrounded him. He fell to the floor, unconscious. His arms looked to be out of place, and he had bruises already forming. He also had blood dripping out of his mouth.
During the fight, for some reason the entire group of sound and Akatsuki ninja disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The leaf ninja saw Jiraiya walking over to them. When he got over to the group, he almost fell over. But luckily for him, Shikamaru was next to him, and he had held him up.
"Jiraiya-sama, are you okay?" Neji asked him.
"Oh yes! Of course I am! I mean I just fought with Orochimaru, but hey, of course I'm fine!" Jiraiya told them…and then he passed out. Neji ran over to help Shikamaru hold him up.
"Neji, Shikamaru,"
"Ya, Kakashi-sensei?" The boys asked in unison.
"I want you two to start heading back with Jiraiya-sama. If you follow the trail that we came on, I left a mark on a tree to the right of the trail. I want you two to head there with Jiraiya, and start to set up camp. With the injuries that people have gotten, we can't head to Konoha just yet. We need to rest, and heal up." Kakashi told them.
Hinata and Kiba started running over to Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei! Sasuke needs help, now!" Kiba earnestly told him.
"So does Naruto-kun. Sakura is helping him right now, but if he doesn't get more help…he might not make it." Hinata said as she burst into tears.
