Chapter 5
Temari rushed right towards her enemy and then made hand signs for a summoning. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu Summoning: Kirikiri Mai!" Temari shouted. Then a ferret holding a scythe suddenly appeared. Tatsujin threw 5 kunai and Kamatari defended Temari with winds even more powerful than the Wind Scythe itself. Sasuke suddenly got up and made hand signs for Chidori.
"I have to make this count, I can't miss under any circumstances," Sasuke thought. Lightning appeared in his hand and he rushed to Tatsujin. He then struck Tatsujin's heart and the Mist Ninja collapsed. The group except for Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata went to Tatsujin as he was coughing up blood. Tatsujin just laughed after coughing up blood.
"The way you stood up for your love, that was amazing, your love for each other and your children might be enough to defeat Nagoya-sama," the ninja said with his last breath and then he lay dead on the ground.
Then the whole group rushed to Naruto's side as Sakura was extracting the poison. "It's almost out, I think he needs more of the medicine, Hinata, get the medicine and feed it to your husband," Sakura instructed. Hinata got the medicine and fed it to Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, please get well," Hinata hoped. Naruto heard the cries and felt the tears of his wife, which was enough to awaken him.
"Hinata…" Naruto said as he got up. Everyone was so relieved that their comrade was alright, especially Hinata.
"Naruto-kun, you're alive!" Hinata said as she rushed to embrace her husband.
"He was very lucky, if I stopped or haven't began any earlier then he would've died, but he should be well enough to fight again, the Kyuubi chakra should heal up the remainder of the wounds," Sakura said.
"Thank you, Sakura-san," Naruto said.
"You finally called me Sakura-san, thank you, Naruto," Sakura said with a laugh.
"Sasuke, are you alright?" Temari asked her husband.
"Yeah, I am rather impressed with that summoning you used," Sasuke said with a compliment.
"Well, I've used it before; you just weren't there to see it. I used it when you were going to Orochimaru, when I helped that lame brain, Shikamaru, out," Temari laughed.
"You helped too," Sasuke blushed, "so you cared about me back then too?" Sasuke asked.
"Well, I tried to disguise it by saying it was just a mission but deep down I really cared for you so much," Temari said.
"We have no time to waste, let's get going," Itachi said.
They all went out of town and then they came across the woods. They didn't know what they were going to come across, but they knew they would get through it as long as they had a goal to achieve.
