Disclaimer: One day Naruto could be mine… but not today. Maybe 3 days from now… maybe 3,000,000,000… you never know!

Okay I just want to alleviate the common fear that Aiko is going to turn into a clone of Sasuke now… she's not. Aiko and Sasuke are siblings that are scarred by the same tragedy, but they are two different people. Sasuke before Itachi's betrayal wasn't anything like Aiko, he was a little arrogant prick back then, really he still is (albeit mellowed,) he's just come to have a grudging respect and some genuine affection for his teammates (and even the other rookies.) Itachi's mental attack on Aiko will have its effects, but she won't become the same as Sasuke, even though that was Itachi's intent.

I really have to wonder about Itachi's sanity here and in the anime… honestly, if he really loved Sasuke (and Aiko) how the hell could he use Tsukuyomi on them? It doesn't make sense to me, unless he's insane and truly believes psychologically damaging them and causing them to have a deep seated hatred of their older brother will make them happier… well, you know what they say about ANBU… they're all crazy… lol.

"I'm here for you" she said.
And we can stay for awhile,
My boyfriend's gone,
We can just pretend.
Lips that need no introduction,
Now who's the greater sin?
Your drab eyes seem to invite…
(tell me darling,) Where do we begin?

"Where is my jacket?" Naruto asked, puzzled as to why he was dressed in different clothes.

"Your jacket?" Jiraiya scoffed, closing the sealing scroll he used to store Itachi's dangerous flames, "Really? That's the first thing you ask about?"

"It's a nice jacket!" Naruto replied defensively, it was just the first thing he had noticed that was different about him, although the clothes were definitely his, they weren't what he last remembered wearing.

"It was pretty ruined from the invasion, Naruto." Sakura replied to his question apologetically, "I think it got thrown out after you were put in a hospital gown."

Naruto scowled, it couldn't have been that bad, what a waste, he might have been able to save the jacket, he had done some pretty amazing things to fix up his old orange jumpsuit before.

Jiraiya sighed as he glanced at the prone Uchiha twins, "Look's like we'll be heading back to Konoha to get these two to the hosp-"

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!"

The Sannin suddenly flew into a nearby wall, courtesy of Gai's kick; and the man turned to the genin and said with a pinging smile, "Do not worry children! Gai-sensei has finally found the correct hotel and is here to protect you in your teacher's stead!"

"GAI YOU IDIOT!"

"J-Jiraiya-sama?" Gai stammered, as Jiraiya groaned and pulled himself out of the new hole in the wall.

After Gai gave about a thousand apologies, Jiraiya sent him back with the Uchiha siblings, Sasuke seemed alright, just unconscious from Itachi's physical onslaught and use of the cursed seal, but Aiko was completely unresponsive. Jiraiya tried to send Sakura back as well.

"Go with your boyfriend." Jiraiya said, waggling his eyebrows a bit.

"I'm not leaving." Sakura hissed, glaring at Jiraiya, "They almost kidnapped Naruto because you were too busy with some hooker!"

"It was a genjutsu." Jiraiya replied defensively, as Gai hopped out the window, heading back to Konoha at top speed, "It's not like you were able to protect him, girlie."

The three moved back into their room, Naruto was moving slowly, staring at his surroundings with uncertainty. This was definitely not where he last remembered being… and where the hell were his clothes? Why didn't he recognize the place they were in now?

"What's going on?" Naruto demanded, still very confused, "How did I get here? The last thing I remember is fighting Gaara…"

Jiraiya and Sakura exchanged glances, a lot had happened since then.

"Naruto…" Sakura said softly, "You've been asleep for nearly a week."

"What?" Naruto was shocked, "I never need that long to recover…"

"Your body was really screwed up kid." Jiraiya replied, "It couldn't cope with all the chakra you were pushing out against Gaara."

Chakra… Naruto recalled the flashes of red, the power… laughing while he completely decimated Gaara's raccoon form. He remembered he fought Kyuubi to regain control over his body, made easier because Kyuubi needed Naruto's own elemental chakra to control the massive whirlwind of power he had used to destroy Gaara…

"Gaara!" Naruto panicked, "Did I kill him? I couldn't stop myself…"

"He's alive," Jiraiya assured, "Although Sasuke was about to finish what you started when I got there."

"Sasuke-kun was really angry, Naruto." Sakura added helpfully, "He was worried about you."

"Yeah right." Naruto laughed, "Sasuke-teme worried about me, good one Sakura-chan!"

"Kid," Jiraiya frowned, "Why are you worried about what you did to Gaara…? Did you forget those ninja you killed in the stadium?"

Naruto's heart sank, he had forgotten. In the stadium his body seemed to move on its own, acting on reflex to protect Aiko while getting them closer to Kakashi and the others. He definitely remembered slicing one in half… how many others died from the wounds he gave them?

Naruto couldn't help it; tears came to his eyes as the full weight of what he had done bored down upon him. He had killed. People that others cared about, maybe loved… he took their lives, and he did it without even thinking.

I do not doubt that in your lifetime we will be at war again. People will die; loved ones, friends, and you will find yourself doing anything to end it.

Kakashi had been right, even if Naruto had denied it so completely at the time… as soon as anyone had threatened him, he killed them on instinct alone… he was a killer. Naruto couldn't believe how simple it had been then, kill them or die. Naruto never thought himself to be a violent person, but what other person could kill and move on without even remembering? Could feel the blood of their opponents stain their clothes and face without blinking?

"Naruto…" Sakura's heart wrenched, watching her teammate cry so openly, over enemy ninja who would have killed him and laughed about it later. Naruto had been so serious in the fight at the stadium and with Gaara, she had momentarily forgotten he didn't usually act that way… usually he was so innocent and cheerful; Sakura had often wondered how he could possibly be a ninja, despite the fact that he was so strong.

Jiraiya sighed; he knew this was going to happen. He patted his student on the back, "You did what you had to do, Naruto. I would be more worried if you didn't kill them."

Naruto looked up at his teacher in disbelief, "How can you… how can you just say that? They're dead because of me! I… I killed people, and I didn't even care!"

"You obviously do care." Jiraiya replied patiently, "If you didn't, you wouldn't be human. But if you didn't kill them, then you're simply not fit to be a ninja. I'm glad that's not the case."

Naruto leapt to his feet, "Well I'm not glad!" He yelled angrily, "I don't want to be a killer!"

"Then you don't want to be a ninja." Jiraiya stated calmly, his face blank, clear of emotion.

The blond cried out in frustration, and punched the nearest wall without chakra. It hurt, but he didn't stop, he kept slamming his fist over and over into the wall, his knuckles started bleeding, but he kept doing it. Jiraiya watched impassively, but Sakura wasn't so emotionless.

"Naruto, no! Stop!" Sakura struggled to hold her pained friend, and pull him away from the wall, "You're hurting yourself!"

"I don't care!" Naruto replied, trying to shake her away, "I want to hurt myself! Let go!"

Sakura wouldn't let go, wrapping him in a tight hug, Naruto struggled, but didn't really try to push her away. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt his friend. With a sob of frustration, Naruto stopped struggling. The blond fell down to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

"Naruto…" Sakura held him, and Naruto turned in her arms and threw his own arms around her, much to her surprise.

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto sniffed, "How can you just deal with it? How can I let it go like you?"

Sakura felt a stab of pain, Naruto had seen her covered in blood that day, he knew as well as her that she had killed too. Sakura had felt guilty about it, but she knew that was what she had to do… she still had the nightmares, but she didn't cry like Naruto was… they were her enemies, and they had needed to die.

How could Naruto care about killing these people? He didn't even know them… but he obviously cared, a lot.

"You had to do it, Naruto…" Sakura whispered, "If you didn't kill them, they would have killed you."

"I don't want to be a killer…" Naruto replied tearfully, "I don't want to kill anyone! Why couldn't they just leave us alone? Why did they have to attack us?"

Sakura hugged him tighter, how could she possibly explain why killing was okay? She wasn't even sure that it was okay… Sakura glanced at Jiraiya, who was watching impassively. No help from there.

"We're ninja, Naruto." Sakura said apologetically, "We don't get to be moralistic. In the end it's like Zabuza said… we're just weapons and tools."

"You're not a weapon, Sakura-chan." Naruto whispered, shuddering, "You're my friend. You're way more than a weapon to me. You're a good person."

Sakura felt the sting of tears come to her own eyes, she couldn't help it, "Naruto… if this world was perfect, you would never have to kill. I wouldn't have to kill either, but its not, and that means we have to do things we don't want to do. Do you understand Naruto? We can't live in this world without killing. Not as ninja."

Naruto said nothing; it always came down to this. Be a ninja, be a killer. Why did it have to be both? Naruto had been so worried about the Kyuubi taking over him… he had forgotten that deep inside of himself there was a person that wasn't Kyuubi, one willing to do anything for his friends… to protect them. Naruto often thought about death, and about dying, he knew without a doubt that he would sacrifice himself for his friends.

But what about when he didn't have to? He never thought about that. What if instead of throwing himself in front of the enemy's attack, he could stop it from ever coming? Destroy them so quickly and thoroughly that they didn't have a chance to hurt him either?

Naruto shivered, despite being unafraid of dying for the right reasons… he truly didn't want to die, if only to be sure that the next attack that headed for his village or friends didn't succeed either. He could only toss himself in the way once, and then it was over. He wouldn't be able to protect anyone if he was dead.

The boy remembered feeling so worried about his friends when the attack started, and he remembered how uncertain and scared Aiko had seemed… she locked up, and Naruto feared the worst for her. So he put aside his own worries and fears and did everything he needed to do, if only to protect her, and to get to his other friends and protect them too.

Naruto felt his clone memories rise up within him, not only had Naruto himself killed, but his fury had passed on into them as well. Directly they had killed maybe ten, but they had heavily wounded and trapped dozens more, getting those killed as well. Not only that, in the forest they had killed even more Sound ninja…

He was responsible for all of those deaths. Every single one. His clones were him, they acted on his orders, did what he would do, and he got their memories when they finished their jobs.

Naruto choked back another sob of pain and loathing… what had he done? What had he become…? Just a murderer? A ninja? What was the difference?

Jiraiya left silently, leaving the two genin alone. Sakura didn't leave, she held him quietly as he sobbed, his shoulders shaking and his body trembling as he sifted numbly through the clone memories, over five hundred of them… all had done their best to slaughter their opponents, all on his orders. Many had spread into the village, where they had helped the villagers get to safety (at least the ones that accepted their help,) and attacked the enemy there as well.

Some of his clones had gotten smart, transforming into Sound and Sand ninja using Henge and ripping into their exposed backs from behind, where skill and speed didn't matter. Maybe it wouldn't have held up if they bothered to look closely, but none of them were paying that much attention to their comrades in a battle when there were enemies to fight.

Wind jutsu that he had so proudly learned from Jiraiya sent them into solid walls, shattering their fragile skulls. Kunai sharpened and extended with his elemental chakra, the move he had been excited to learn from Asuma, used without pulling back, slicing off arms, legs, heads. The blades of wind he had perilously labored to gain mastery over, the path Kakashi had started him on so long ago… all of his 'awesome' attacks.

From the beginning, all the way back to being placed on Team 7… he had been taught to become a killer. Every training session, Kakashi molded them into perfect little fighting machines, taught to work together, protect each other, bond with each other… all so they could complete their 'objectives' for the day. Asuma had sharpened Naruto's wind skills with tips and a few suggestions, making him even deadlier. Jiraiya taught him to think on his feet, his first new techniques since Kage Bunshin, challenged his idea of what a ninja should be, and taught him the pain his enemies and comrades felt as normal humans.

Sakura was right. Naruto was a weapon, he had been a weapon ever since Iruka had handed him the forehead protector, beaming as he proudly told Naruto that he had passed. The dull and weak academy Naruto had been shined, sharpened, and honed… then launched at the enemy. Like a good weapon, he did as much damage as possible.

Naruto could do a lot of damage. He was an excellent weapon.

Sakura didn't let go, she held him all the way through, her presence and warmth comforting him throughout the entire ordeal.

"Thank you." Naruto whispered hoarsely, his sobs finally beginning to die down, although he was still shaking and felt like throwing up.

"You don't have to thank me." Sakura responded quietly, "You're my friend, Naruto."

Naruto finally pulled away, and blearily gazed at Sakura. Her neck and shoulder were wet from his tears, and he felt like crying again, which made him feel silly at the same time.

"I got you wet, I'm sorry…" Naruto apologized shamefully.

Sakura laughed softly, smiling kindly, "Naruto… you don't have to apologize either. I know you would do anything for me, and I just want you to know, I'll do anything for you too."

Naruto stared at his pink haired teammate. He remembered thinking back in the academy that Sakura was really cute… she had grown beautiful. Naruto had ignored her, he never saw her as more of a teammate… but now… her hair was cut short, framing her face perfectly. Was her forehead a little big? Sure, but Naruto thought that added to what made her wonderful. His short time with Ino had left him with a new appreciation of girls. Right now he could only feel one thing, a desperate longing for contact with another, to make him feel whole, human.

"What?" Sakura asked questioningly, "Do I have something on my face?"

Naruto leaned in and kissed her. Nothing else, he just rested his lips against hers, reveling in the warmth, the feeling of contact, this was what he had missed for so long. This was what he had denied that he needed from Ino when they split… yes, the Yamanaka girl and Naruto had broken up amicably, but the feelings she had stirred within Naruto had left him aching with need and desire, he boxed those feelings away, tried to bury them in training and friendship… but they were there, and they had come to the surface again. Naruto was feeling broken, deprived, and in need of someone to take away the pain.

Sakura didn't respond, she didn't kiss him back, but she didn't pull away. Instead she sat frozen, partly from shock and partly because… she enjoyed it.

…Her first kiss wasn't Sasuke. But for some reason, she didn't mind.

After some very long seconds, she pulled away, and Naruto seemed to realize what he had just done.

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto whispered, horrified, "Oh god… I'm so sorry, I didn't mean… I just…"

"Naruto…" Sakura spoke softly, "Why did you just do that?"

Naruto squeezed his eyes shut, why did he just do that? Sakura was his friend, and he was taking advantage of her kindness, her friendship… what kind of person was he?

"I'm so, so sorry…" Naruto repeated, eyes still tight and shut.

"…I didn't mind." Sakura admitted, and Naruto opened his eyes in shock.

Sakura was staring sternly at him now, however, "You didn't answer the question though, Naruto. Why did you do that?"

"I… I don't know." Naruto grimaced, "I mean… you're just really pretty, Sakura-chan… and I… I just… I don't know."

The pink haired girl sighed, and got up from her spot on the floor next to him, she stared absentmindedly out the window for a few seconds. Naruto watched her, his heart beating wildly, he felt sickened by his actions, why had he done that? He knew that he could never be with a girl, not like that… but here he was, using Sakura, the girl who had just held him and whispered comforting words to him as he feebly cried all over her.

"I still like Sasuke-kun." Sakura finally said, not looking away from the window, "I still like him a lot."

"I-I know." Naruto stammered, not only had he betrayed Sakura's trust, in some strange way he had betrayed his best friend as well. They weren't dating, but Naruto had unconsciously associated Sakura with the Uchiha boy, even if they weren't actually together.

Sakura turned back; her features schooled and blank, "Naruto, do you love me?"

"What?" Naruto gaped, "I… well, I mean…"

Sakura sighed and sat on the bed, "It's a simple question Naruto. You kissed me, I liked it… but do you really want to be with me, or are you just hurting?"

"I…" Naruto seriously thought about it. Could he see himself being in love with Sakura? He definitely had a thing for her in the academy, she had been a cute girl back then… but then she abandoned Aiko, and he despised her for it… but Sakura had grown up, maybe not quite a woman yet, but hardly a child. She was a maturing young adult, a teen, a ninja.

"I don't." Naruto admitted, to her and himself, "You're one of my best friends, and I care about you a lot… but not that way."

Sakura sighed again, "I thought so. You're a great guy Naruto, and I can't say I haven't thought about going out with you…"

Naruto stared at her, dumbfounded.

The girl continued, staring at the wall, "But I've realized that I don't think about you that way, Naruto. I really don't know why… maybe it's because I'm so hung up on Sasuke-kun, maybe I'm making a mistake… but although I care about you, it's not like that." Sakura looked at him, unable to really put it into words, "Do you get what I'm trying to say?"

Naruto understood, "Yeah, you feel the same way I do… Sakura-chan, I'm really, really sorry."

Sakura smiled, "I said its okay you baka. It was… nice. But don't do it again, or I'll hurt you."

Naruto laughed weakly, but she was probably serious… and Sakura hit hard, really hard.

"Naruto…" Sakura grasped his arms and firmly pulled him to his feet, Naruto stood on shaky legs, still dizzy and in shock. The girl continued, "You're going to find a great girl one day, and you're going to make her very happy, do you know that?"

Naruto didn't respond, Sakura wouldn't understand why he couldn't be with any girl. Not until Kyuubi was firmly under his control, something he wasn't sure could ever happen… how could you control a tailed beast? It didn't seem possible… but that was Naruto's problem, and his burden to bear. He didn't ask for Kyuubi, but he wouldn't let his own selfish desires and needs cloud his judgment. He couldn't.

Yet Naruto almost had with Sakura, he was lucky that she was nice enough to turn him away gently.

"Naruto?" Sakura asked, slightly annoyed with his zoned out expression, "Are you listening?"

"Uh… yeah." Naruto responded, "I heard you, I was just… thinking."

"About a girl?" Sakura said curiously, and Naruto blushed.

"N-No… nothing like that."

Sakura looked at him strangely, "What else could you be thinking about after I say something like that? Naruto, you're really weird sometimes."

Naruto chuckled weakly, "Yeah... I know, Sakura-chan."

His teammate gave him one last hug and pat on the back, and then moved away. Once again the contact left Naruto warm, but this time he only felt gratitude that Sakura was his friend, and still his friend after this mishap. Sakura pulled back and stared at him with a frown, "Naruto, you're a mess, you know that?"

Naruto grimaced; he could only imagine what he looked after crying his eyes out for nearly half an hour.

"Go to the bathroom and get cleaned up." Sakura ordered firmly, "I'm going to get dressed into something that isn't wet…"

Naruto obeyed immediately.

Sakura smiled to herself, 'He's so guilty; I could probably get him to do whatever I want…'

For a moment she pictured being carried down the road atop a throne that was held up by four Kage Bunshin… alright maybe not.

Sakura giggled, she had to admit, even though it was wet, that definitely wasn't a bad first kiss.

"What the hell do you mean you can't do anything?" Sasuke shouted at the medic, "You're a fucking medic, fix her!"

The head medic didn't flinch; he had dealt with angry relatives before. "I must ask you to calm down, Uchiha-san. This is a hospital."

Sasuke glanced at his comatose sister, dead to the world in the hospital gown she had been outfitted in… like Naruto had been not so long before. This time it was even worse, it was his sister… and he had been too weak to protect her against Itachi. He had failed her.

"I don't care where we are." Sasuke growled dangerously, "She was put under Tsukuyomi; you were able to help me pull out of that last time, do the same for her!"

"I'm sorry, Uchiha-san." The medic sighed, "We're tried, but obviously the assault on her mind was greater than it had been on your own. Most likely your… the assailant has grown in skill using the technique. It is simply beyond our ability to fix."

Sasuke felt a growing feeling of dread, if the medics couldn't fix her… "Are you saying that she might never wake up?"

"Perhaps on her own… like Kakashi-san, but it is difficult to say for sure."

Aiko… his last true bit of family, stuck in a coma and for all intents and purposes, dead. Her mind was there but it wasn't waking, locked up behind barriers that had formed to deal with the mental backlash of Itachi's assault… Sasuke had been through the same thing, and it had been something he vowed would never happen to his beloved sister.

But it had happened, because he couldn't beat Itachi… because he was too weak. Once again Orochimaru's seal flared painfully, it was worse than before, because he had actually used it against Itachi. He could feel it whispering to him even now, promising more power… but despite how powerful it made him feel, it still failed against Itachi.

"Uchiha-san… do not give up hope." The medic said, and Sasuke looked at the man again. The man continued, "It is rumored that the legendary medic Tsunade is returning to the village, possibly to become the new Hokage."

Sasuke blinked, "The Sannin Tsunade? When will she be here? Can she heal Aiko?"

"If she can't, no one can." The medic replied firmly.

Sasuke wished that sounded more convincing. The medic left the room, and Sasuke took the seat next to Aiko's bed silently. She was pale, her face was peaceful, but Aiko didn't move, her breathing rate was slow… very slow. He had never seen her in such bad shape; his sister always seemed so alive since they had joined Team 7, much as she had been in their early youth. Sasuke had grown used to that happiness; now he realized Aiko being happy made him feel better as a result.

Better, but not stronger, Sasuke realized bitterly… he thought had been progressing, getting tougher all the time… he had been measuring himself against Naruto of all people, what was wrong with him? Had he just grown complacent, willing to be just good enough? Was his first assumption correct about Team 7? Had they simply held him back?

For whatever reason, he was weaker than his older brother. It wasn't by a small amount either, he was much weaker. Itachi defeated him, Aiko, and Naruto in quick succession without even blinking. Apparently he had defeated Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai as well with the help of his partner Kisame, putting Kakashi in the hospital. Only the threat of Jiraiya along with limited chakra reserves after using Tsukuyomi had forced his brother to leave. Sannin, that was the level Sasuke had to reach.

But how could he possibly reach it? Jiraiya refused to train him, instead insisting that Naruto was the only one he would teach for whatever reason. Tsunade was some kind of weird traveling healer, who had defected from Leaf, although she had never been designated as a missing ninja.

Orochimaru… even thinking the name made his seal twinge and he had to force it down. The rogue Sannin had attacked him, given him this seal… yet he seemed like the only one who could and would actually teach him. Although the Leaf village had many strong ninja, there weren't many left that were at the level of his brother, a level beyond even Elite Jounin like Kakashi. There were the Sannin… and the Hokage, who was dead. No one else.

Sasuke could leave, he knew how to slip out of the village unnoticed… go to Orochimaru. He would become a missing ninja, but maybe then he could actually achieve the power he needed to defeat Itachi. But could he leave Aiko? Sasuke gazed at his sleeping sister again. She had always been there for him, trained with him, listened to his frustrations, encouraged him…

How did he repay her for that kindness? He screamed at her, insulted her right to be a ninja, and called her a failure and a disgrace right to her face. When she tried to explain, he dismissed her completely. His own sister, and for what? Naruto? The boy was fine, uninjured and able to try and fight S ranked missing ninja… that was why he had been so angry? A boy who he had only known for a few months, he chose him over his sister who had been with him all of his life. Aiko loved him unconditionally and completely, and Sasuke had lashed out because Naruto got hurt? Aiko had just been what she was, a good person, trying to help a friend.

It was what hurt the most. How could he ever face her again if she did wake up? Sasuke could only imagine the pain he made her feel. Aiko was a good person; she deserved a better brother than him.

His heart clenched painfully at the realization, and for the first time in nearly six years, Sasuke cried. The boy buried his face into his hands and shook silently as the tears fell, as his shame with his actions grew. What had he done? His sister could be gone forever, there would be no apologizing for his stupidity, no forgiveness… he would have to live with this feeling of self loathing forever. The realization only made him sob harder, Itachi had taken her from him… and she might never come back.

'Please Aiko-neechan… please wake up…'

Shortish chapter, I know. But a lot of important stuff going on. Naruto's reaction to his actions in the invasion for one. Naruto realized as a ninja he would have to kill, but he didn't think it would be so soon or so many or that he would do it so easily. Naruto would readily sacrifice himself for his friends and his village because he considers both to be precious to him, but not being afraid of dying and being suicidal are two different things. Humans don't want to die, we can accept it when it comes, but the instinct and will to survive is present in every living creature's mind.

Sasuke has now lost everyone (except Kakashi, who's needed for S-rank missions.) Sasuke is basically alone now, yes you can argue that he has the other rookies… but that in itself is a problem that will be presented soon enough. No, Sasuke isn't going to run off to Orochimaru now so he can take revenge for Aiko. His grief and need to stay with his sister completely overwhelms his desire for revenge.

Know this, if Sasuke ever had to choose between Aiko and revenge… he would choose Aiko. Take what you want from that statement, but no, it doesn't mean he won't go to Orochimaru.

I love giving vague hints… one last thing, I have posted my top ten favorite songs on my profile, woooooooo. They're all great, but I'm already thinking of extending them to 25… 10 is just not enough for all the amazing music I've encountered.
