"I'm sorry", Naruto said, a woefull look on his face, as he dumped Sasuke at Sakura's feet. "He's dead. I couldn't save him."
"YOU WHAT?!?!"
"I'm not dead!" Sasuke shouted from the ground.
"What???" Sakura asked, puzzled.
"Nothing. Here's his body."
"But...He says he's not dead!"
"Yes he is."
"I'm not!"
"He isn't, you baka!"
"Well, he will be soon. He's very ill."
"I'm getting better! It's just a cold!"
"No you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment."
"Dead?!?!" Sakura shrieked. A moment later, she was applying green chakra to Sasuke's chest.
Then she stood up and glared at Naruto. "What are you trying to pull?? It is just a...WHAT THE *BLEEEEEP*?!?!?!?!"
Naruto finished handing five ryu over to Kyuubi. "You were right. Seven and a half lines. Didn't make it to nine."
Kyuubi licked his finger and made an imaginary mark in the air. "And the student surpasses the master!"
