The sound ninja that was pushed to the floor, was watching as gold chakra began to glow around Naruto's body. Naruto's claws got longer, and sharper. His hair grew a little longer and got thicker. His old wounds were starting to heal, and his breathing was starting to get normal.
"Naruto!" Kakashi and all of the gennin had caught up.
"Kakashi-sensei, what's going on?" Sakura asked him with a shaky voice.
"I think that Kyuubi is healing him, and giving him power." He told her, as he looked at Naruto with amazement.
"Kyuubi…is healing him…?" Sakura asked dumbfounded.
"Aaagghhhh, uhhhh, nnn…" This pain, why does this have to be so painful, I would almost rather…
"Naruto, hang on!" Sakura yelled to him.
Whose voice is that?
"Aaaggggghhhhh…" This pain is unbearable…
"Naruto-Kun!" Hinata saw Naruto, and could just sense all of the pain that he was enduring. I'm a little scared. But how could Naruto ever scare me? No, it's not Naruto that scares me. It is the fox demon that is sealed inside of him that scares me. Uh! His hair…it's, growing…and his hands are changing (with the nails turning into claws.) His teeth are growing. I hate to have to see him like that…but at least, now his wounds are starting to heal…
A group of Akatsuki and Sound ninja were starting to surround the leaf ninja.
"Hey! We can take him! I mean it's not like he is actually the real fox!" One of the sound ninja yelled. For some reason that really angered Kyuubi, so he sent out an enormous wave of chakra out from Naruto.All of the enemy ninja were thrown against the walls hard.
Naruto had finally regained consciousness.
"Hey Kyuubi baka, what's going on…" Naruto managed to say.
"Kit how dare-ah well, never mind that. I'm helping you stay alive. I've healed you the best I can, and I gave you a bit of chakra. So I suggest you help save your friends before they get killed." Kyuubi told Naruto. Naruto looked over to the ninja who had begun to fight the leaf ninja.
Some how I know them, from somewhere. I don't know how I know them, but for some reason I think I should help them.
With that Naruto immediately charged in, and with Kyuubi's chakra, he started fighting.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
Naruto looked over and saw that a sound ninja was about to give the final blow to a girl who had short dark hair.
FLASHBACK"Uh, well, N-Naruto-kun, I um, I really…"
"What is it Hinata-chan?"
"W-well, I l-lik…oh never mind…" Hinata turned and ran off as fast as she could.
"Hey, Hinata-chan?"
"Uh! Y-yes N-Naruto-kun…"
"Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to go and get some ramen with me!" Naruto smiled his most adorable smile that he could make.
Does Naruto-kun really mean that? Does that mean that, maybe, he has feelings for me!
"U-um s-shore N-Naruto-kun."
"Great! I'll meet you there later!"
But I never got to meet her. Because later that day, I was given the mission to go and get Sasuke. I didn't even have a chance to tell her I was sorry; and I never got to say goodbye.
END FLASHBACKWhat was that…it was me, and that girl over there…did I, love her? How could I have just stood her up? Well, whoever she is, I will make up for what I did now. I need to help her!
Naruto ran as fast as he could to where Hinata was.
"Ha ha! Say goodbye little girl!" The sound ninja said as he took his katana out of its holster and raised it up into the air and-
STAB
"Ugghh…nnnn…"
Hinata looked up in horror. Right before her was Naruto…with the sword sticking all the way through him. She saw the boy that she had grown up with. The boy that she had loved for years. The boy who had a dream, a dream big enough that he was willing to devote his life to fulfilling. The boy that had finally noticed her. The sound ninja looked shocked. He had just stabbed their 'experiment'.
Naruto stood in front of Hinata, coughing up blood. His knees were shaking and after a moment, they collapsed on him. He fell to his knees, and looked back at Hinata. He saw her pained, and sorrowful expression. It hurt him so much inside to see her like that.
"Naruto-kun…"
I can hear her calling to me…but I just don't have the strength to answer her…I just want to…
"Naruto!" Hinata painfully screamed. She was loud enough that everyone could hear her. (although it wasn't intentional) when they looked over to where it had come from, they saw Hinata, crying, and clinging to Naruto's clothes.
