Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Forgive Me:

BOOM!

The explosive tag went off as Naru threw it at her opponent, causing him to fall off the roof they were on. The fight had been going on for hours, and there seemed to be no end in sight; she needed to call for back up, but she hadn't had time to do so.

Naru knew she was in trouble at this rate, the Akatsuki was going to capture her, and that was something that couldn't happen.

It didn't help that she didn't know where her teammates were; she had lost sight of them an hour ago. Any other shinobi would have fled, cutting their losses; Naru on, the other hand, had been taught by Kakashi that those who abandon their comrades were trash, so she wasn't leaving until she found her teammates.

Bang!

Naru lost her breath as an Akatsuki member blew her off the roof with an explosive; She didn't have enough chakra to summon Gamabunta and hit the ground, breaking both of her legs and back.

Naru coughed up blood, trying desperately to regain her breath, tears stung her eyes as pain ran through her body; never the less she forced herself to stand up and run trying to flee from her attackers.

The young kunoichi ran until she found a ditch to hide in, which, she promptly collapsed behind a rock, catching her breath, she coughed up more blood. Damn! The fall must have broken a few of her ribs too.

Naru whimpered; she was scared, truly scared, she was in a foreign land with no backup insight, and she knew it wouldn't be long before those Akatsuki thugs caught up with her. Tears stung her eyes, and she cried a little wishing Sakura or Kakashi were there to tell her what to do, but they weren't, and she knew with sorrow in her heart that she would probably never see them again.

Damn it! She had so many promises to keep and things she still wanted to do with her life, but she knew she couldn't let the Kyubi fall into the Akatsuki's hands; she had only one option left, and if it meant protecting her precious people, she'd gladly pay the price.

Using the little chakra she had left, she bit her thumb and summoned Gamakichi. The young toad appeared almost immediately; he looked around confused a minute, not sure where he was until he spotted Naru.

"Naru!" he, cried in alarm.

Naru tried to smile at him, but it hurt too much to do so, "Hey Gamakichi, I wish I could chat, but I don't have much time. I have a favor to ask of you," she said.

The toad looked at her worriedly, "What is it boss," he said.

Naru coughed more blood up before she answered him, "I need you to take a message to Granny for me," she said.

The toad nodded his head and waited while Naru wrote a message on one piece of paper and then pulled out another piece, and wrote a message on that one; she then told him which, piece of paper went to who.

Gamakichi looked at Naru one last time before he left feeling hollow as he puffed away to run his errand.

Once he left Naru pulled out an explosive tag and placed it over her heart. "I'm sorry everyone, forgive me," she said.

A moment later, an explosion went off.

Hidden in a field a few feet away from where Naru had fallen, a man watched in satisfaction knowing his mission was complete.
