"You just became Hokage damn it!" Sasuke yelled to the sky as if he Naruto was up there at that moment. "You just became hokage!" he shouted louder.
The thunder boomed as if Naruto was trying to answer him.
And you know something.
He was.
Just then, Sasuke caught a glimpse of something move. So subtle that it was almost undetectable, but he saw. He could have sworn he saw Naruto's chest rise and fall, like he was breathing.
Is he alive?
--
Sakura buried her head into Sasuke's chest, crying and holding Naruto's son close.
Sasuke was looking over at Naruto's body.
"No, it's impossible. That jutsu kills the user the moment it's finished. I'm just hallucinating. He's dead." Sasuke thought. Although that one part of him said that he saw him breathing. He looked closer. The harder he looked the more he thought he was alive. He moved closer to him.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked through her sobs.
Sasuke laid his ear on Naruto's chest.
"It can't be."
He sat up and put his index and middle fingers on the side of his neck.
"Sakura get over here!" he said.
"What?" Sakura scooted over to Sasuke, holding Mikiayo in one arm now.
"Feel his pulse." He said.
Sakura didn't understand what he was getting to, but checked anyway. She felt it right away, his pulse was still there.
"There's no way." She whispered.
The couple exchanged a glance. Both of them knew what the other was thinking. No words needed to be spoken.
We have to get him to the village NOW.
Sasuke quickly picked up Naruto's limp body and started to run to the village as fast as possible, Sakura following at his heels with Mikiayo. The forest was filled with broken trees that they had to jump over. Once they got into the village they could see the ruined buildings, the debris and the people walking around depressed. But they didn't pay any attention to that and kept running, calling as they made there way through the village.
"Tsunade! Tsunade we need help!"
They made there way to the hospital. She told them that she'd be there before they left to find Naruto at the hospital. They ran in and stopped at the front desk.
"Where is Tsunade!?" they asked
"I'm right here. What do you-" She cam out from a door behind the desk and was cut short when she saw Naruto.
"Don't tell me he used that jutsu." She said.
"He did. But for some reason he still has a pulse!" Sakura exclaimed
"Get me a bed bow!" Tsunade called. Two nurses came running over with a bed on wheels. Sasuke laid him down gently.
"Sakura, you help me figure out whats going on. " Tsunade said.
Sasuke gave Sakura a quick kiss on the fore head before she gave Mikiayo to him and ran off with Tsunade to the operating room. For one of the first times, Sasuke stood there and felt useless. Of course, that wouldn't do, so he decided to make himself useful and do what he knew Naruto would want him to do.

Hinata woke up slowly, and her pale eyes were met with onyx orbs. At first she was really confused, but then she remembered what happened before she fell asleep. The clock read 7:00 a.m. She sat up and looked at Sasuke who was sitting on the chair beside her bed.
"S-Sasuke. What happened? Where's Naruto and Mikiayo?!" She exclaimed
Sasuke walked over to the other side of bed to where a little cot was. He picked up a little bundle and handed it to her. She carefully took the baby and looked down at its sleeping form. She slowly pulled back a bit of the blanket. There it was. Just above its navel was a curse seal just like Naruto's. She started to cry.
"He did it. He's gone." She said.
Sasuke couldn't stand to see a friend cry. He sat edge of the bed and put an arm around her, to comfort her.
"No. He's not dead." He said.
Hinata looked up at him confused
Sasuke told her about what happened. About him seeing Naruto breathing and the fact he had a pulse.
'B-but that's impossible." She said.
"That's exactly what I thought." Sasuke said.
"How long have Sakura and Tsunade been working on him?" Hinata asked
"Well, it was about 11:00 last night when we brought him here and it's 7:00 right now. He's done surgery but Tsunade isn't allowing any visitors, last time I checked." Sasuke explained
The door opened suddenly and Sakura came in. A very tiny smile on her lips.
"Sakura! How is he?" Hinata asked
"Relax Hinata. He's probably going to be fine. We're still trying to figure out why he lived, but hey, we're not complaining." She said, her smile growing.
"When can I see him?" Hinata asked
"Slow down. If you've forgotten, you just gave birth last night. You're not going anywhere for at least a few more hours. Besides, Tsunade isn't allowing any one to see him yet." Sakura said. She walked over and sat next to Sasuke, on the bed. Just then, the tiny bundle moved.
"Hey, there." Hinata smiled to the baby. "He's so cute."
Mikaiyo started to cry. Hinata paniced. "What do I do?!" she asked Sakura.
"He probably wants you to feed him." She said.
"Okay, I'm out." Sasuke said, getting up and walking out the door to give the girls some privacy.

Sasuke was allowed back in a few minutes later. Mikaiyo had thankfully stopped crying and Sasuke sat back down on the bed. The sun was coming back up, bringing a beautiful sunrise. The morning light, brought a fresh feel into the hospital room as the three friends talked and played with the baby. The door opened and Neji and his fiancé Ten-ten came in.
"Hey Uchiha." Neji said walking over to the opposite side of the bed.
"Hey Hyuga." Sasuke replied.
"Hello, Neji, Ten-ten." Hinata greeted
"Oh Hinata! He is so cute!!" Ten-ten said.
"He is very handsome." Neji said. Everyone there could see in his eyes what he really meant.
"Do you want to hold him?" Hinata asked
"Sure." Neji said. Hinata carefully handed the baby to her cousin, who took him gently and started at him in awe.
"That reminds me. We brought him something." Ten-ten, reached into her bag and took out a tiny stuffed animal ferret. (Ironic isn't it?). She gave it to the baby. Mikaiyo took it and playfully swung it around.
"Aw, He likes it!" Ten-ten exclaimed
Next, Ino and Shikamaru Nara came in.
"Hey forehead!" Ino greeted.
"Hey Ino-pig." Sakura smiled. Ino and Sakura were great friends now, but still used their old 'nicknames' as a joke.
"Hi, guys." Hinata said.
"Omg! Hinata is that the baby!" Ino said walking over to Neji.
"Ya, that's him,." Hinata smiled.
"He is adorable!" she exclaimed.
"Hey, where's Chouji?" Sasuke asked
"Him, Lee, Kiba and Shino are away on a mission." Shikamaru said, leaning on the wall. "Where's Mister Hokage?" he asked
"H-he just got out of surgery." Hinata stuttered sadly
"Surgery?!" Ino exclaimed
Sasuke, Hinata and Sakura told them about how Naruto used that justu to get rid of the ferret spirit and how he somehow lived.
"Oh my god! Where is he?!" Ten-ten asked
"No one can visit him for now." Sakura said.
"I'm so sorry!" Ino said.
"He'll be fine soon." Sakura said.
"Good." Shikamaru said.
"Oh! We got Mikaiyo something too!" Ino exclaimed "Where's the bag Shikamaru?"
"Right here." He picked up a bag at his side and handed it to Hinata. She opened it and took out a beautiful blue, purple and orange quilt with the Uzumaki crest stitched in the middle,
"Wow, Ino. It's beautiful!" Hinata exclaimed as Neji handed Mikaiyo back to her and she wrapped it around him.
"Thanks!" she smiled
The next one to come in was Tsunade . She was smiling but you could tell she was tired.
"Tsunade! Is Naruto okay?" Sakura asked
"Oh yeah, he's fine. Do you guys want to see him now?"
YAYZ! I HOPE YOU LIKED IT AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEST CHAPPIE! Opps, I left caps lock on. Oh well, bye!
