Chapter 46

Author's notes: special thanks to NarHina, luisdox, Naruhiinalover20, Rose Tiger, Lord Wolfe, neostardustdragon101, and nightwind83 for their reviews! Also I have really enjoyed the Hinata and 9 scenes, the comforting eachother scenes, if you have an idea for one please.

It was hours before 9 managed to pull herself up to Hinata. The girl was still in shock, she still hadn't said anything. 9 managed to herself up to the sword and tried to pull on it and pull it out, but to no avail. Hinata whimpered in pain as the woman pulled on it.

9 grimaced, "Hinata I am so sorry about this."

Hinata finally looked up at her in pain, but with a questioning look, "W-what d-do you m-mean?"

9 didn't say anything, instead she channeled wind chakra into it. The chakra cut into Hinata even more and she screamed in pain.

9 pulled it out with ease this time. Hinata dropped to the ground, her legs giving out when she hit, she dropped to the ground, hitting hard. 9 dropped down hard next to her and held Hinata's upper body in her hands. Hinata was shivering, still in shock. Hinata began crying again, this time in pain as well as sorrow for Naruto. Naruto had come looking for her and died for his trouble. It was all her fault, Naruto was dead because of her.

An hour later Hinata finally calmed down, and spoke up, "9, can you help me please," Hinata looked down in absolute shame, "I-I c-cant use m-my arms, b-but I-I," Hinata started to cry hard again, she was humiliated, "I-I w-wet m-m-myself, when S-Sasuke e-electrocuted m-me. C-can y-you change m-my u-underwear p-please." Hinata never rose her eyes as she continued to look down and cry.

9's eyes widened, "Shh Hinata, It's okay, I will change you it's no problem, that bastard went way too far, you can't use your arms, this isn't your fault."

9 helped her out of her rag 'underwear', and helped her into another pair of rag 'underwear'. They were given 2 pairs of underwear and 2 shirts after all, both pretty much rags. They had a wash bucket in the room to wash their 'clothes', and 9 pulled herself over to the wash bin and threw Hinata's previous rags in, before pulling herself back to Hinata. She held Hinata as the girl continued to cry. 9 picked up the head protector then grabbed the scarf piece.

When her hand touched the scarf piece, she gasped, she saw an image of what looked like herself, in a green dress as she knitted a scarf that looked like this. A blonde man with bright blue eyes held onto her, kissing her cheek.

9 began to tear up, she couldn't cry right now though, she had to be strong, she had to for Hinata. Hinata was still crying and 9 handed her the two items into her left hand, as her right was still crushed.

Hinata looked down at her left hand as she could not bring the items to her face, she cried as she did. She sobbed, as 9 placed healing hands on her, first her shoulder, it would take all of the chakra 9 had left at her disposal to heal the puncture wound, as well as the bones in the shoulder.

When 9 was done she handed got up and they, had food delivered, if you could call it that, it was some kind of mush, a piece of soggy bread for each of them. At least they were given a glass of water each, not that it was clean water, but the glass three times a day kept their throats from drying too much.

9 brought Hinata her plate and fed her the food, as Hinata's arms were still useless. Hinata thanked her and asked if 9 could lay her down. 9 layed the poor girl down with her head in her lap.

The redheaded woman ran her hand through Hinata's hair, it was dirty and messy as they were not given a chance to wash very often, but 9 didn't mind, she had to comfort the girl.

"Hinata, don't believe him, you don't know that Naruto is dead." 9 told her.

Hinata shook her head, "He showed me, how else does he have his head protector, and part of the scarf I had fixed for him."

"You can't give up hope Hinata, please." 9 told her.

Hinata shook her head, "I-I won't, Naruto would be disappointed if I did. I still have a family, a mentor, friends, Naruto would want me to keep going. If he is dead, maybe he isn't, I don't know."

9 nodded and grinned, "Good, if you give up, you won't ever make it through this."

Hinata nodded, "What keeps you going? You have been in Hell for 16 years. What has gotten you through it all?"

9 shrugged, "The thought of possibly seeing the man again, I want to see him so bad, when I think of him it's all I want, the thought that I may have a son out there that needs me."

Hinata nodded and thought about it, she continued to think before falling into a nightmare filled sleep.

Jiraiya was shocked when he reached the Valley of the End, it was destroyed. Clearly a large fight had happened here, finally he saw Naruto, the boy was pinned face down and bleeding. Jiraiya cursed when he took his pulse, he was fading fast. The Toad sage took off heading for Konoha as fast as he possibly could.

When he got to Konoha Jiraiya took him straight to Tsunade, who patched Naruto up and kept him alive. She and Shizune repaired the extensive damage and left Naruto in the same room as Anko, so that Kakashi could be with both of them.

When Naruto woke up, he heard talking, it took him a second but he recognized Anko's voice, followed by Kakashi's.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked around, he groaned as he sat up, and the two looked at him. They glared.

"Naruto, What the fuck were you thinking." Jiraiya's voice came from the corner, before Kakashi could say anything.

"Sasuke was leaving the village, he was going to Orochimaru, I thought if I followed him I could get Hinata." Naruto told him

This didn't seem to stop Jiraiya's anger, "You went alone! You know damn well that is unacceptable. IF you had taken people with you and not told me through Gamabunta after telling him to leave, we could have properly followed them and found him."

Naruto looked down, "I didn't think of that, I just wanted to save Hinata. That's all I thought about, I just wanted to save her."

Jiraiya was still pissed, "Yeah well kid, anything that happens to her after this could very well be considered your fucking fault. We would have had a chance to get to her if you had a team-"

"JIRAIYA!, that's enough. You know damn well Naruto did what his gut told him to do. It is what you would do! Naruto was wrong, no doubt about that, but you can't blame him like that, can't you see he is already hating himself." Kakashi yelled at him.

Jiraiya's eyes widened, looking back at Naruto to see him tearing up a little, "Naruto I'm sorry, I didn't-"

Naruto shook his head, "You are partially right, it has been my fault the whole time though. It is my fault she is in this mess, my rash decisions got her into it, and my rash decision is keeping her in it."

Jiraiya shook his head, "Naruto, no I was just upset that you went off alone, it isn't your fault, I was just upset you could have been killed.

Naruto brought a hand up and did a hand seal disappearing in a flash, teleporting away from the hospital.

Kakashi cursed, and left the room heading towards the Fourth Hokage's head on the monument. When he got there Naruto was sitting with the file again in his hands crying. He had sealed the file before leaving to track Sasuke, he had now unsealed it and was holding it with what was left of his scarf. The scarf in his left hand as he cried.

Kakashi got there and waited a couple minutes before walking over and sitting next to Naruto. He hugged the young man before letting him go and taking the file, he looked at what Jiraiya had written and grimaced. It was gruesome, completely gruesome.

"Naruto, it isn't your fault, you acted on instinct. If you had gotten someone to go with you, well they could have died, I won't lie to you, it was extremely stupid, but I also won't say that I haven't done something as stupid, or more. If it was Anko, I probably would have done the same thing." Kakashi told him.

Naruto nodded, "How is Anko by the way?"

Kakashi grinned, "Actually your chakra helped, she can feel the tips of her toes, she is going to recover it seems like, it is a long way off, but she will walk again, and then she will be training her legs to work like a ninja's again. It is going to be tough, but without you it would be a pipe dream."

Naruto nodded, "That's good, I am glad I could help someone."

Kakashi grabbed his shoulder, "You will find her Naruto, I am sure of it. You leave with Jiraiya tomorrow morning."

Naruto nodded then looked down, "Why was he so mad?"

Kakashi grinned, "By all accounts you should be dead right now, he cares about you, he wants you to learn from your mistake."

Naruto nodded shocked, but then looked back up and saw the stars, he stood up and helped Kakashi up, the two headed to Naruto's house, "Kakashi, keep Anko here at my house, you guys stay here, train. Get her back to speed."

Kakashi nodded and then left for the hospital to see Anko and be with her.
