Naruto looked at Sasuke as he held out his hand. He turned around and gulped as he saw the pissed expression Orochimaru was wearing. Naruto turned back to Sasuke. 'He really does love me… and he doesn't care about Kyuubi…'
'Go to Sasuke like you want to. Come on! Its not that hard, just walk forward and take his hand.' Kyuubi encouraged. Naruto whipped his tails and threw Kabuto aside. He then grabbed Orochimaru like he had done with so many other ninja and began crushing him. "N-Naruto-kun! What are you doing?" He screeched, trying to ignore the searing pain the blonde was causing him. Orochimaru gasped as he was gripped tighter. The sannin began to fight against Naruto, but this only made the blonde crush him more. Then Naruto let his limp body fall to the floor roughly. He dropped to his knees by Orochimaru and pulled out a kunai; the snake was alive, just, and this would be the only way to finish it.
"N-Naruto…its n-not too late. K-kabuto can still heal m-me and I w-wouldn't blame you. W-we can g-go home." Orochimaru said between gasping breaths. 'Kill him quickly before kabuto becomes a problem.' Naruto looked over to see that the medic-nin was trying to get back on his feet. "Y-you can't k-kill me, you love m-me!" Tears ran down his face and he held to kunai over Orochimaru's chest. His hands were shaking badly now as Orochimaru still tried to persuade the blonde to stop. "You can't kill m-me Naruto-kun. Remember what kind of f-future we can h-have…" Orochimaru, slowly as to not make the blonde feel threatened, lifted his hand and stroked Naruto's face gently wiping away the wetness. "Remember wh-when we made love…" Kyuubi pretended to vomit loudly.
"You don't love me…you never did…" He whimpered as he lifted the kunai up slightly, ready to stab him. He was stopped however as Orochimaru smirked and he felt something press into his arm. "Its over Naruto-kun. If you so much as scratch me, Kabuto will kill you." Naruto looked left slightly to see that the medic-nin was holding a syringe, ready to inject the contents into his arm. 'Oh crap.' Naruto thought that 'oh crap' didn't quite cover his situation. 'Kyuubi…if I don't kill Orochimaru he might hurt Sasuke. Kabuto will heal him and he will kill Sasuke and everyone else in Konoha. I've already betrayed this village, and Sasuke, once before. If I let Orochimaru live I would be doing that again.'
'So…what are you saying kit?'
'I don't have a clue what kabuto has in that syringe, but I'm willing to give my life so I can protect Sasuke.'
'Don't be so hasty!'
'I know you die with me and I'm sorry for that. I don't really want die either because…' Naruto looked up at Sasuke and his blue eyes met with the ravens dark ones. 'Because the thought of never seeing Sasuke again hurts me more than anything, but if I can save his life…I think I can cope…'
'I'll fight with you. Whatever that stuff is I'll resist it'. The fox realised how human he was beginning to sound and added something else hastily. 'Its more for me anyway because you might want to go throwing your life around for some guy but I don't!' Naruto knew the Kyuubi was trying to keep its pride intact, but the fox was failing. 'Thanks Kyuubi…'
Naruto stabbed Orochimaru, the sannin's blood covering his hands. Kabutoinstantaneously injected Naruto with the entire contents of what was in the syringe. The blonde gasped and fell to the ground as an unbelievable pain spread throughout his body. The medic-nin saw that Orochimaru was dead and he knew that he had the entire of Konoha against him. He abandoned Orochimaru's dead body and disappeared. Sasuke instantly ran to Naruto's side and tried to help the blonde. "I-it hurts so much s-Sasuke…" He sobbed as his entire body shook. Sasuke called for the hokage and held the shaking blonde to his chest.
"Don't worry dobe, Tsunade-sama can help." He said gently. Blood was dribbling from Naruto's mouth as his breaths became gasps. The pain was getting unbearable for the blonde and he grabbed onto Sasuke. "I love you…" he said. Before the raven could say anything else, Naruto suddenly went limp underneath him. "Naruto…dobe…?" it was then Sasuke noticed he wasn't breathing. "Oh no…no, don't do this to me Naruto!" He begged. The hokage was by Sasuke and pried the blonde from the overprotective Uchiha. "H-he's not breathing! You h-have to help him!" Sasuke watched as the hokage pressed her chakra glowing hands on Naruto's chest, then his throat. Medic-nin began gathering and trying to help Tsunade. "What's the situation?" One of them asked.
"He's not breathing, so that's our first priority. Then…whatever he's been injected with is causing… internal problems. It could be fatal if we don't get him to the hospital quickly and work out what it is. Kakashi! I want you to go after Kabuto and capture him. We need to know what the hell he's done." Sasuke's mind went numb when he heard the word fatal. Naruto could die and there is nothing he could do to help.
