Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Inukai: It's either I'm updating to quick (which I know I must not be doing) or you guys are starting to lose interest…I only got like two reviews for the last chapter and THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH like seriously to the people who had reviewed: Sasuke 2006, and Silver Serval.

Naruto: I think they lost interest.

Sasuke: I think that last chapter was just bad.

Itachi: …

Gaara: …

Inukai: Sweet advice you two…jeez anyways my friend that likes to read this a lot (coughKRAZYWITAKcough) didn't seem like she liked the last one either. I think she liked the part with Naruto the most…

Sasuke: Make this chapter better and start typing woman.

Inukai: Yeah so I'm gonna listen to Chibi chi and get a roll on. Um I'll post this in about a day so, yeah.


Chapter 8:

Day six (continuation): Blind


Naruto couldn't believe what he was hearing. He started to cry and whimper out incoherent words that the group couldn't understand. He constantly rubbed his eyes and blinked but everything was still black. A flicker of white eyes was seen and then gone, and then a hitai-ate, gone, green hair, gone.

"Naruto um, don't cry we're going to get back to Konoha tonight. Tsunade-sama can treat you." Neji tried but then the sound of flesh on flesh was heard.

"Neji-kun you suck at consoling! This is how you do it," Inara cleared his voice. "Naruto sweety you're blind. There's no point in taking the truth away from you but its okay. I need you to know that you'll get better. Shikamaru-san says that it isn't serious yet so you'll be alright. Close your eyes so we can wrap them alright?" Naruto obeyed and Inara smiled as he started to put the bandages around his eyes. "Alrighty then we're gonna leave. Let's go!" Inara said happily and they all ran out Neji holding Naruto.


Sakura wrapped the ice pack on Mizunekai's cheek. Her eyes were sorrowful and held pity for her. "Tsunade-sensei packs one hell of a punch." Sakura said as she dusted her hands off. "Alright now that that's done Sasuke you can go pour out the water." Sasuke nodded solemnly and walked into the bathroom. Sakura followed him her eyes still pitiful and she sighed.

'He's been broken like that ever since we lost Naruto…I hope he'll be alright. ACHK! What the hell are you thinking you dumb idiot of course he's not okay!' She scolded herself. She looked back at the sleeping Mizunekai and got up to see how Sasuke was doing.

She got out of her chair gently not walking Mizunekai and walked over to the connecting bathroom. She was taken aback by the state her friend was in. He was helplessly trying to stop a long flow of tears rolling down his face as he gripped the rag so hard her rung it dry. He seemed to be trying to suppress all his anger and sadness. Sakura turned around and grabbed an extra pillow and then came back.

She put her arms around Sasuke and showed him the pillow. "Go ahead. Scream it all out." She said softly and he greedily took the pillow and started to scream; all his rage, sadness, fury, and helplessness into that sole pillow. He finally collapsed onto the ground and breathed in slowly exhaling after a while.

Sakura helped him up and he sat on the toilet still trying to calm down. He took the pillow again and cried on it soaking it through. "I want him back…" He whimpered out a little muffled. "I want my Naru back…" He finished.


Rei finally reached the gate but was stopped by the five ANBU. She was confused since the three other jounin that were walking with her got in fine.

"Are you Haruno Rei?" One asked.

"Yes why? Sir, if this is about my husband then I already kno—mmfm!"

An ANBU put his hand over her mouth and he jumped off. She looked up at the holes in his mask but her hitai-ate was placed over her eyes quickly. "Don't even try that." He warned as he jumped towards the Hokage tower.


"Tsunade-sama ANBU reporting the captured Matsumoto." The ANBU said dropping a tied up Rei. Tsunade smiled down at her and waved her hand.

"Good, send her down to the dungeon and keep her eyes covered. Make sure she knows of her fate. It would be cruel for her not to know." Tsunade dismissed the ANBU. With a small "hai" he left with the thrashing Rei.


"Inara stay hidden…well…I guess until I come back okay." Neji said as their invisible coating fell. Inara nodded and waved Neji off.

"U-um Neji-kun," Inara choked out. Neji turned around but froze in his spot when a kiss was placed on his cheek. "Be careful for me." He whispered and jumped off invisible again. Neji touched his cheek and Shikamaru whistled with a confused Naruto in his arms. Neji glared at Shikamaru and mumbled something while furiously walking towards the office.


Tsunade looked up when a knock was heard. She looked at her new desk and wondered who it could be. She glanced at Shizune and nodded. She walked over to the door as soon as Tsunade settled herself in her chair. The door opened revealing a beaten and battered trio. When she got a good look at Naruto she thanked herself for destroying her old desk. Having nothing on her new one she pointed and the hard surface. Shikamaru and Neji nodded as they place Naruto on the desk.

"Naruto what was the last thing you saw before this happened?" Tsunade asked looking over his body.

"A-A jounin had told me to get back when I realized I was in the middle of a battle field," He swallowed forming spit. "He had tried to protect me but I think he got injured by some lady with white eyes and hair. She tossed him aside and he yelled not to look at her but the rest is fuzzy." He finished.

"Knowing you, you probably looked the lady straight in the eye. You're lucky though usually we wouldn't treat blind patients but you still have a 5/20 vision…barely…it seems like you can't see but really look. I'm going to take off the bandages and tell me what color do you see?" Naruto actually thought about it when the bandages were removed and he opened his opaque eyes.

"I see this reddish brown." He replied. He had seen this before when he would close his eyes in the direction of the sun and then turn away quickly after because it started to hurt.

"Alright good, now I'll help Kyuubi in there a bit okay?" She said and the green chakra flowed through two of her fingers that were on Naruto's eye lids. "Alright open." She said and Naruto saw things but a little fuzzy. He smiled and got up surprised that he even saw a little but then it all went black.

"Wait Tsunade it's gone." He said disappointedly. "What happened to my sight?" He asked a little scared. He heard her sigh and sit back down.

"The nervous system isn't easy Naruto. I'm going to assign you to intensive care in the hospital." She said writing some things down.

"U-um Tsunade," Naruto started shyly. Tsunade did a small "huh" and Naruto gulped. "Can I please call Sasuke? I want really want to hear his voice." Tsunade smirked and nodded her head but then slapped her forehead.

"Uh yeah sure go ahead." She said giving and Shizune handed Naruto a cordless phone. He sat up and dialed in the number for his house. It rang…and rang…and then finally rang out to his answering machine. Naruto frowned and hung up. He thought for a minute and then called Sakura's house.

"Hello Haruno House!" A gentle voice said over the phone.

"Rei?" Naruto asked unsure.

"Nope Rei's went out this is Sakura may I ask who's speaking?" Sakura said in a polite tone. Naruto gulped again before starting.

"I-It's me, Naruto,"

"…"

"H-hello?"

"SAAAAAAAAAAASUKEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" She yelled and a loud boom was heard upstairs. "SASUKE, SASUKE IT'S HIM HE'S ON THE PHONE!" Sakura yelled happily and shoved the phone in Sasuke's hands.

Naruto heard lots of fumbling and then a small shaky voice answered. "H-h-hello-o?" It started out and Naruto couldn't stop his tears.

"S-Sasuke is that you?" Naruto said but heard nothing.

"…ke what are you doi—!" He barely heard before the line went dead. A few minutes later the door blew open loud thumps were heard. Naruto was glomped by an unknown black and white object and pushed back onto the desk.

"Naruto where were you why did you run away and leave me alone oh god Naruto I missed you!" He paused to kiss him full on the lips. "Oh god Naruto I love you so much!"

"Sasuke slow down I love you too it's okay." He said hugging Sasuke lightly. Sasuke looked up at Naruto from his comfortable place on the junction of his neck and shoulder.

"N-Naruto…y-your eyes…"

"Sasuke…I'm so sorry but…I-I'm…"

"Naruto no, you can't be it isn't possible!" Sasuke said hiding from the truth.

"It's very possible actually. Naruto just needs the hospital for three weeks or two and he'll be just fine." Tsunade broke through startling the boys.

"Can I still see him though?" Sasuke said asked. "Is there any surgery I'll pay for everything I swear anything to get him better!"

"Sasuke, Sasuke its okay I'll do this for free since I'll take care of him. Yes you can still see him."

Sasuke smiled at this and shook Tsunade's hand happy for his boyfriend. "Thank you so much Tsunade thank you so VERY much!" He said before going back to Naruto. "We should go home now," He looked at Tsunade "please?" She nodded and Sasuke picked Naruto up and was out the door quick.
