"Naruto, idiot wake up! Please!" Sasuke was desperately shaking Naruto. Sure he had gotten his heart beating, and had gotten him breathing, but he could be in a coma! He stopped, panting. It had been a long swim to shore. 'I'd better get him to Tsunade and Shizune!' thought Sasuke. He put Naruto around his neck and ran towards the Hokage's office.

Sakura had just finished picking up groceries for her family. She saw Sasuke running toward her. She waved, but he ran right past her. She saw he had Naruto on his back. "Oh no!" she said, dropping all of her groceries and running after Sasuke. She caught up with him. "What happened?" she screamed.

"Near...drown...need get...Tsunade..." Sasuke managed to get out. Sakura nodded and ran ahead. "You wait here!" she yelled back at him.

Sasuke sat down under a tree and removed Naruto from his back. He held his arm-he didn't want anyone taking his best friend. He would never want to admit it, but...he was truly worried. He checked Naruto's breathing and heart rate. His breaths were getting smaller, and his heart rate was getting fainter. "Naruto...please don't die..." he whispered.

Sakura ran as fast as she could. This was life or death. She burst into Tsunade's office. "What's the meaning of this!" yelled Tsunade. Sakura ran and grabbed her arm. "Hurry! Naruto...almost drown...HURRY!" she ran through the doorway. Tsunade looked at Shizune, then ran swiftly out the door, following Sakura.

Sasuke was still sitting on the grass next to Naruto. Just then, Tsunade and Sakura arrived. "What happened?" demanded Tsunade. Sasuke proceeded to tell her the WHOLE story.

Tsunade knew she must work quickly. They were hurrying back to her office, with Sakura and Sasuke carrying Naruto. When they finally reached it, Tsunade told them to wait outside. They sat down nervously in chairs.

"Do you think he'll be alright?" said Sakura quietly after a while. "He's been through worse, I'm sure he'll be fine." Replied Sasuke. But, inside, he wasn't really sure.

After a long time, Shizune came out. "He's…" she started. The two gulped, hoping for a certain answer. Shizune sighed in a relieved kind of way. "He's going to be alright!" she said. Sasuke and Sakura looked at her for a moment, then shouted happily. Sasuke punched the air and yelled, "I KNEW he could pull through!" Sakura laughed as she hugged Sasuke. She pulled back quickly, blushing. Sasuke, although it was barely visible, had a faint blush on his cheeks.

Naruto opened his eyes slowly. "Where….Where am I?" he said. "You're in my office," said a voice. He looked over, startled, and noticed Tsunade. "What happened?" he asked. "You nearly drown, that's what happened," replied Tsunade, as Shizune came back in, followed by his two teammates.

"If it weren't for this Uchiha boy, you'd be dead!" Tsunade explained while Naruto put on his fresh, dry clothes. At that moment, Sasuke realized he was still wet, and started shivering. "Shizune, can you get Sasuke a blanket? He's all wet!" said Sakura, smiling at Sasuke. He nodded; it was his way of saying, 'thanks.'

Naruto stopped. "Sasuke saved me?" he said. "Yep," said Shizune. Sasuke faintly blushed, he felt kind of dumb. He had been WORRIED about NARUTO! Naruto opened the curtains he had been changing behind, holding a questioning look. Sasuke nodded.

Sakura and Sasuke helped Naruto home. Tsunade had healed his foot, but it still hurt quite a lot. Sakura was the first stop, so she waved goodbye and with a, "Get better!" she disappeared into her home.

When they reached Naruto's house, Sasuke helped him limp inside. When he turned to leave, Naruto said, "Sasuke?" "Yes?" said the Uchiha. "Um…thanks, I guess." Sasuke smirked. "Heh…..that's what friends are for, dobe." And with that, he left.
