"Oh yeah, he's fine. Do you guys want to see him now?" Tsunade asked
"Y-yes" Hinata stuttered.
Tsunade stepped aside and let two medics wheel in his bed. They put it right beside Hinata's bed. Neji and Ten-ten moved from their spot on the right side of her bed so she could see him. After the Medics moved aside from hooking up wires, Hinata could see him. She chocked back a sob. He was pale and his breathing was slow and shallow. There were tubes and wires on his arms and face. It was unbearable.
"I think we should get going and give you guys some privacy." Ino said.
"Us too. Bye guys." Ten-ten said as they left with their husbands.
Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke just starred at the unconscious form of the usually happy and sunny Naruto. Each lost in their thoughts.
Sasuke was reminded of when Naruto brought him back…
Flashback
"Sasuke! Why are you doing this!" Naruto asked. They were on their way back to the village when they ran into Team Hawk. The rest of the Naruto's team was handling Sasuke's team. Tobi or "Madera" was nowhere to be seen.
"The village ordered Itachi to kill our clan! It's- It's-"
"OVER!" Naruto screamed. "That was a long time ago and I'm sure that it was their last resort! You need to stop dwelling on the past!"
"What do you know about any thing!! You've been alone your entire life!" Sasuke retorted
"No! I haven't been alone my whole life! I have Sakura, Iruka, Kakashi-sensei, lots of friends! And at one point you were my friend! You say that bonds make a person weak but that's not true! I've become stronger because of those bonds; because I have people to protect!"
"ENOUGH!" Sasuke charged at Naruto head on. Naruto dodged and countered, ducking and throwing him against a rock.
"You idiot! Don't you see what's happened! You've turned into the one person you went so far to kill! You think that everyone around you is weaker and that they are useless, and you are willing to kill everyone around you!" Naruto yelled.
Sasuke's was head was bleeding front that hit against the rock and he found he couldn't move. He looked up at Naruto. Maybe he was right. He remembered how he actually felt bad when Naruto was knocked out after that explosion with Chidori and Rasangan, he walked away saying that he wouldn't turn into his brother. But that's exactly what happened to him.
"Naruto………I…….." His vision went blurry, he turned his head to see Sakura running towards them. He passed out
He woke up in a hospital room. His head was throbbing. He sat up and looked around. The room was empty. There were no wires on his body so he got up and looked around for some clothes to change into so he didn't have to wear the hospital gown. He looked on the night table. There was an outfit on it. He put it on. It was kind of like was he used to wear except the shirt was black and the arm covers he wore with Orochimaru were there. He looked out the window and saw Sakura and Naruto walking down the street. Kakashi was standing on the corner and said something to them. The three of them then turned the corner. Sasuke jumped out the window and followed them quietly. As he got closer he could hear them talking.
"Where are you taking us Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked
"You'll see when we get there." Kakashi said. It was kind of weird, he sounded sad. Sasuke followed them to the memorial stone.
"What are we doing here?" Sakura asked
Kakashi stood in front of it and pointed to a name on it.
JIRIAYA, ledgendary sanin, friend, teacher, Pervy Sage
Naruto starred wide eyed at the name.
"I'm sorry." Kakashi said, backing up from the stone.
"What happened…." Naruto asked
"It was Pein, the Akatsuki leader." Kakashi said.
"First they almost killed Gaara…" Red chakra started to pour out of Naruto's body. "Now Pervy Sage…" One tail quickly turned into two. Naruto spun around "THEY'RE GOING DOWN!!" he screamed.
"Naruto calm down!" Kakashi yelled
"No! They've gone too far!" He screamed. Slowly, three tails appeared. Kakashi pulled Sakura away and jumped back.
"This is not good. I don't have a sealing tag like when we were fighting the Akatsuki member. At this rate he'll continue growing more tails. Where's Yamato when you need him?" Kakashi said.
Sasuke watch Naruto. He couldn't help but feel like he had to do something.
"Why do I care? I don't care about this place anymore. Right? Damn it Naruto, you're too persuasive." Sasuke thought. Then he remembered what Madera said. This new Sharingan could control the kyuubi. He jumped down from the tree he was hiding in and over Kakashi and Sakura. He landed right in front of Naruto, his new sharingan activated. The chakra slowly bubbled away and back into Naruto's body. He fell to the ground unconscious.
Sakura and Kakashi ran over to them and Sakura checked on Naruto. He opened his eyes.
"Sasuke, why?" he asked
"You outta keep your mouth shut sometimes. You're too persuasive." He smirked
"It's a miracle, he shows emotion!" Naruto joked as he sat up.
"Shut up you idiot." He said
"Some things never change." Kakashi said
"Does this mean you're staying?" Sakura asked
"Yeah…I guess it does." Sasuke said
Sakura jumped up and tackled Sasuke to the ground. Naruto got up.
"Yeah, some things don't change." He laughed

Looking back on that Sasuke thought he was the stupidest teenager in the world. If Naruto hadn't knocked some sense into him (and I mean he knock it in) He probably would have gotten killed. But now the same person that saved his life was struggling to stay alive.
Hinata held her son close as she just watched her husband breathe. She put Mikiayo in the tiny cot beside her bed and got up slowly. Sakura was going to say that she should stay in bed a bit longer but she knew it would do no good. Hinata sat beside Naruto on his bed. She placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Come on, you need to wake up. We need you here. Wake up." She said, holding back her tears.
Sakura walked over to her. "He's going to be alright." She said.
"Yeah, like I said. The Dobe's to stubborn to die." Sasuke added
"You ever gonna stop calling me that?" Came a raspy voice.
They looked down.
"Naruto!" Hinata exclaimed wrapping her arms around him
"Ouch, Hinata that hurts." He said
"Oh sorry." She said letting go.
Naruto looked around the room.
"Are you wandering why you're still alive?" Sasuke asked
"No, I think I have it figured out. The jutsu takes so much chakra and such a strain on the body that by the time it is complete the user dies. I think Kyuubi's chakra must have come in and helped." Naruto explained
"Well…. That's……lucky." Sasuke said
"Hey, I'm not complaining," Naruto smiled
Tsunade came back in. "You awake brat?" she asked
"Stop calling me that!" Naruto exclaimed
"The day you stop calling me Tsunade baa-chan." She smirked
"You've got a point there." Naruto smiled

It's been three days since the incident. Hinata was let out of the hospital two days ago but was always there with Naruto and Mikiayo. Tsunade insisted that Mikiayo stay a few extra days as well to make sure he was healthy. Today, Naruto was let out although he had to take it easy.
"Make sure he gets some rest." Tsunade said to Hinata.
"Of course." Hinata said
"No need to worry about me. I'll be fine!" Naruto exclaimed
"Just take it easy." Tsunade said
"Alright alright, bye!" Naruto said as he and Hinata left with Mikaiyo. They headed back to the Hokage tower. They had moved in about a week ago and there were boxes everywhere but the furniture was out.
"I've got to go and get some groceries. I'll be back in an hour." Hinata said grabbing her purse.
"Okay, see ya" Naruto smiled holding Mikiayo.
Hinata walked out, shutting the door behind her. Naruto looked at his son.
"Okay buddy, looks like it's just us guys for a while." He said.

"Naruto, I'm back!" Hinata called as she walked through the door. No answer.
"Naruto?"
She went into the living room and looked around. She couldn't help but "aww". Naruto was asleep on the couch with Mikaiyo asleep on his chest.
YAAAAA! I finally updated! I hope you liked it! .
