Yeah, I really have no idea. I should have made the last chapter longer, but I really needed a cliffhanger and a break for my recovering inspiration. It just got out of a coma, and I don't need it slipping back into one. So yeah. Here goes the next chapter.
DISCLAIMER: Sadly, Jaiyu does not own Naruto. Or anything to do with it, except the character Shinra and Shinra's life. That's really about it.
Recap:
Sasuke chuckled softly, picking up his giant shuriken very slowly. "No, actually, I think that'll be your job."
With that, he slashed the weapon back behind himself, slicing into Shinra's knees and shins, causing her to fall forward. Sasuke drew a kunai and…

…slashed it into Shinra's chest as she fell towards him. The kunai went in deep, and he pulled it across her chest, cutting through bone, muscle, and other important things. Her eyes opened wide, her odd sharingan finally stopping its mad spinning. She fell first on her knees, trying to stay up as Sasuke managed to roll out of her way. She fell down on a hand, trying to cover the wound with the other. She toppled onto her side, laying on the ground, motionless.
Sasuke rested on one knee, panting heavily for a minute before standing up. He scanned the battlefield carefully, assessing the damage. His eyes passed over a blond blob in the center of the destroyed building. He opened his eyes wide, dashing across to the fallen Naruto, a.k.a. the blond blob.
Sasuke half fell to the ground, the running making his condition worse. He put a hand on Naruto's shoulder, and the blonde's head shifted slightly, making one eye visible to the Uchiha. Sasuke sighed, relieved that Naruto was alright, then helped the Hokage to his feet. Both men looked across the fields to the fallen rouge ninja, watching her still form for a second before looking around to survey the damage.
"Man… this is gonna take forever to clean up."
"You're such an idiot, Naruto…"
"Hey, Sasuke?"
"What?"
"Do you really think she's finally dead?"
"I can hope so. But, knowing her, it's only slightly possible."
Naruto groaned slightly, both at the pain he was in and at the possibility that Shinra could still be alive. His eyes swept across the field one more time.
Okay… that used to be my desk… that was a wall… Shinra moving… another wall… door… Wait a minute… She's moving!
Naruto stepped towards the fallen ninja slowly, not wanting to alert her if she really was moving. He watched her carefully, turning for just a second to catch Sasuke's attention. The Uchiha stepped closer to the fallen ninja as well, his sharingan eyes still twitching. The two watched her for a second, when…

…Jaiyu decided she hated this chapter and really wanted to be done with it. Reviews are great things. Thanks.
