Konahagakure. The village hidden in the leaves. The pride of the Land of Fire. And home to the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki. He had returned, victorious, Sasuke Uchiha on his back, a smile on his face. The gate guards, Izumo and Kotetsu called for hep as the young blonde wlked through the gates, befor collapsing onto the sandy dirt below.


When the young boy awoke, he was greeted by the harsh glare of hospital lights... He was in the hospital, that much he could figure out. Naruto sat up in his bed, running a bandaged hand through is blonde locks of soft,spiky hair as he let out a tired sigh. It was at this moment where he remembered his success, to which a smiled came to his face. It was also at this moment, a knock was heard.

"Come in." He'd say, turning his head to greet whoever came in. And most surprisingly, it was his crush and teammate, Sakura Haruno.

"Sakura! I did it!" He says, smiling brightly at her, to which she gave a sad smile in return. That threw him off, his smile disappeared.

"What happened?" He whispered, to which she walked up to him, before slapping him across the face, then hugging him in a seemingly singular, but fluid, action. He heard her sob, and he felt his shoulder get wet as she cried. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed his cheek against her head, closing his eyes and holding her until she calmed down. When she did, she rubbed her eyes, and nothing but a few sniffles came out..

"It's... Sasuke. Orochimaru... His curse mark... It had some sort of failsafe. Should Sasuke fail to escape...his..." Sakura explained slowly and as best as possible.

"His chakra coils... They've been fried." She says, before covering her face in her hands and continuing to cry. Naruto's eyes widened, as he put two and two together. Without his Chakra coils, Sasuuke wouldn't be able to perform Jutsu, use his Sharingan... Not even climb trees. His ninja career would be over. He'd be reduced to a civilian... A cripple. And it was all his fault.

"Sakura..." He lets out a shaky breath. She looked at hin as he said her name.

"For my next promise to you... I'll fix him. There has to be a way."

Naruto always keeps his promises.


Hey y'all. It's been a while. I still intend to finish the Winged Redemption Stories. But I also had to come do this one as well. Nowadays, I have some time for myself due to... well, the COVID-19 Pandemic. I hope you all stay safe and I wish you all the best of luck during these trying times.

Obvious Disclaimer: I do not own the Chinese Drama "The Untamed", or the Chinese Manhua/Light Novel "Mo Dao Zu Shi". (But I highly suggest you do watch the live-action Drama, as that will be where most of the inspiration comes from. It is available on Netflix. For those of you who don't like Yaoi, well, me neither. But the live-action show portrays the Light Novel romance as best-friendship, and the yaoi isn't explicit. So That's cool.) For those of you who have watched the Series, the bacsktory for this fanfic takes place after Wei Wuxian dies after destroying his Stygian Tiger Amulet, during the 16 year period he "went missing" or "died."

I hope you all stay safe,
Dragonbron356 (I might change my name later, it's kinda... old)
