::: Otogakure 1 year after the 4th Shinobi war :::

Naruto is locked in battle with one of Orochimaru's old experiments which had him missing Kuramas chakra with his cursed seal power it resulted in what Orochimaru thinking that it had died however as Konoha found out the hard way he was wrong.

"This damn thing is powerful." Naruto thought to himself as he battled this amalgamation of his four tailed rage form and Kimmimaro.

"Oy Brat that thing is using my power with that cursed seal from that snake just focus I don't need you dead brat."Kurama yelled in his head as he molded more chakra for Naruto to use.

Naruto in his Tailed beast chakra cloak mode was dodge attacks and trying to land hits but was not having much luck.

::: 10 hours ago Konoha Hokage office:::

While Naruto is on his misson Sasuke is standing in the Hokage's office with Karin getting permission from Kakashi to make Karin a citizen of the leaf for 2 reasons one she is his wife and 2 Sasuke found out that she is related to Naruto being a Uzimaki.

"Very well Sasuke I have the paperwork here for Karin to gain citizenship of Konoha and I can allow her to join the regular Shinobi forces but your request to make her a Jonin I will have to deny I will however due to her skills make her a Chunnin." Kakashi stated as he slid the paperwork and her forehead protector forward toward them on the desk.

"I understand Hokage-Sama and thank you for this opportunity." Karin stated as she bowed to the Hokage.

Sasuke looking over his shoulder as Sakura walks in carrying the medical records that were compiled on Karin when she was in the prison.

"Hello Sasuke Karin." Sakura stated with a smile on her face.

"Hello Sakura-San." Karin said.

"Hnn Sakura you seem awfully happy today." Sasuke stated which surprised Sakura.

"It should be this has been a great week." Sakuras said.

"Why you get the dobe to finally stop begging you for a date?" Sasuke said with a stifled laugh.

Sakura giggled a little with him. "Yea kinda only instead of saying no I said yes and it was really kinda fun." She said which caught Sasuke by surprised.

Sasuke still looking around asks Kakashi. "Speaking of which where is the Dobe at I figured he would have been here by now it's not like I hid my Chakra when I got to the village."

Kakashi looked up at Sasuke. "I have him on a misson to Otogakure seems Orochimaru asked us to look into a old experiment of his said he is afraid that it might get stolen and used against the Shinobi Union. Kakashi stated.

Sasuke looking confused at the request he knows that Orochimaru was allowed to return to a hideout in the land of fire and not allowed to leave it unless escorted to Konoha.

"Did he happen to say where in Otogakure and what experiment it was?" Sasuke asked slightly alarmed.

Sakura now worried looked at Sasuke, Kakashi straightened up. "Yes the old hideout near the Tenchi Bridge where Naruto fought him and that team found you." Kakashi said calmly which caused Sasuke to tense up.

"My god tell me you did not send the Dobe by himself." Sasuke said with a tinge of fear in his voice.

Kakashi looked at Sasuke confused he was sure this was a simple recon misson Orochimaru said the specimen was dead and that there was no harm. "Yeah it was a simple recon misson Sasuke I was informed that it was dead why the fear?" Kakashi asked.

"That moronic snake does not even know what he was dealing with when he made that thing did he tell you what it was." Sasuke demanded.

"Yes he said it was a cursed seal experiment from before he got to you." Kakashi said which caused Sasuke to clench his fist and hit the wall next to him.

Sakura now a little worried looked at him. "Sasuke what's wrong is Naruto in any danger?" Sakura asks.

Sasuke looks right at her then back at Kakashi. "He infused it with the Kyubbis Chakra that was left over from the attack on the village and there was a lot of it this thing was a clone of kimmaro and then given the curse seal then infused with enough Nine tails Chakra to destroy a village." Sasuke stated.

Kakashi going wide eyed at what Sasuke said. "It was what he thought was a failure cause it appeared to have died but that is what destroyed that hideout that day it reacted to Naruto's use of the Nintail chakra." Sasuke said.

"I honestly don't think Orochimaru knows that but now Naruto is in full control of the nine tails. Sasuke said.

Sakura drops the paperwork she had in her hands and runs out of the Hokage's office at full speed.

"KAKASHI THAT THING COULD KILL NARUTO!" Sasuke screamed.

Kakashi looked him right in his eyes. "Karin consider this your first misson as a Konoha Shinobi you and Sasuke are to intercept Sakura cause I can guarantee that is where she ran off to and to aid Naruto in taking this thing whatever it is down." Kakashi stated as both nodded and left his office.

::: 10 Hours Later The border of the fire country with where Otogakure begins:::

Sakura landed as she could see what looked like a battle off in the distance. "I am coming Naruto leave it to my stupid ass to realize things too late." Sakura thinks to herself as she heads off in the direction of the battle.

She did not realize that Sasuke and Karin were pretty much on her tail behind her about 25 kilometers.

"Karin we need to move faster if this thing can kill Naruto if Sakura gets between them she will be obliterated and I will be damned if those 2 die after risking everything to bring me out of the darkness." Sasuke stated.

Karin looked up at her husband. "Ok Sasuke-Kun I am sensing the Chakra I can feel Naruto's he is weaking but not by much the thing he is fighting it is giving off a nasty Chakra and Sakura is not too far ahead of us." The redhead Uchiha wife reported to him.

He nodded as they picked up there pace.

::: Ruins of Otogakure:::

Naruto is still fighting this monstrosity and not gaining any ground at all though it did not seem like he was losing any ground at all.

Naruto dodged another attack as the Kimmaro clone fired bone bullets laced with Kyubbi chakra at him he heard in his mind. "Oy brat I don't know if you have noticed but that thing every time it makes contact is sucking in some of our chakra we are making it stronger at our own expense we will have to switch to long distance combat." Kurama stated.

Naruto talking out loud at this point. "How is it taking our Chakra Kurama?" Naruto asked him.

"It is in a sense me that we are fighting in another Jinchuriki so it can absorb its own Chakra so to speak I will continue to mold Chakra I would suggest try fighting this thing at a distance and I don't recommend shifting in to tailed beast mode since it's a Chakra cloak he might be able to absorb it." Kurama stated as Naruto nodded.

He pulled out a kunai with an explosive tag on it to try and gain some distance only to have it appear right in front of him with a claw drawn ready to impale him.

'SHARRANO!" Sakura screams as she comes down with a massive kick that knocks the Kimmaro clone into the rock face.

She jumps away and lands next to Naruto. "Sakura-Chan what are you doing here?" he asks panicky.

She looks at him. "I'm not about to let you get killed out here I'm here to help and don't give me that lecture about how it's too dangerous Naruto." Sakura states to him as he backs away a little.

He goes to respond when he sees his enemy get up and form a bone spike in his hand he tosses Sakura behind him and forms a rasengan.

The Kimmaro Clone starts running toward Naruto as he starts charging the Clone dropping his Kurama cloak and shifting into full sage mode.

They are about 5 meters from contact when Sakura jumps in between them, and takes the bone spike in her back all the way through her body in the stomach area, Naruto having powered down his rasengan just hits Sakura in her chest with his open palm.

The kimmaro clone pulls the spike back and roars as it gets ready to charge Naruto again, Naruto grabs Sakura holding her as her breathing is labored, Naruto looks at her tears in his eyes. "Sakura-Chan no." Naruto whimpers.

The clone is about to make another attack only for it to be blocked by a giant purple Chakra hand as Sasuke and Karin arrive on the scene.

Naruto still cradling Sakura in his arms as Karin lands next to him. "Naruto give her to me so I can heal her Sasuke-Kun will need your help." Karin pleads with Naruto as he hands her to Karin. "Please don't die Sakura-Chan." Naruto demands as Karin nods.

Naruto now angered recloaks himself with Kuramas Chakra as Sasuke is battling this clone gaining little ground.

Naruto starts to head towards the clone when it bats Sasuke against a wall, all Naruto sees is his Sussanoo dispersed fearing the worst Naruto roars as he goes full Tailed beast mode.

"YOU HARM MY FRIENDS YOU USE ANOTHER FRIENDS CHAKRA AGAINST ME ITS TIME TO END THIS HERE AND NOW!" Naruto screams as he forms a tailed beast bomb and fires it almost point blank at the clone.

The explosion is gigantic as Naruto covers everyone with Kuramas body taking the shockwave full force.

When the explosion subsides Naruto stands there back in his normal mode having expended a lot of Chakra protecting everyone looks over and sees the clone get up again only this time with no red chakra cloak it forms another bone spike.

Naruto falls to his knees exhausted from all the chakra he has lost in this fight and what he expended on the final attack, the clone starts charging at Naruto.

Naruto closes his eyes not sure what to do not being able to move hears what sounds like a thousand birds chirping only to see the clone get hit with Sasuke's Chidori in the head.

Sasuke pulls his only arm out of the clone's skull as it falls to the ground dead he runs to Naruto's side catching him before he hits the ground.

Sasuke runs to Karin with Naruto asking how Sakura is doing Karin looks up at him. "Not good Sasuke-Kun I am doing all I can but the wound will not heal." She says with some tears in her eyes.

"We need to get her to Tsunade fast here heal Naruto it will a lot easier to get back with him healed." Sasuke ordered

Karin nodded and took Naruto into her arms, she put her arm close to Naruto's mouth. "Naruto you need to bite it will heal you quick." She stated as he did so and he scrapes and bruises healed up and he got his Chakra back to a good level.

Naruto stood up and looked at Sasuke. "Dobe no time to talk grab her we need to move fast back to the village." Sasuke ordered Naruto agreed and picked up Sakura and started heading to the Village.

As they were jumping from tree to tree moving as fast as he can he looked down at Sakura. "Why Saukra-Chan did you take that attack why." Naruto pleaded not knowing she could hear him.

She tried to place her hand on his cheek and barley did so. "Because Naruto you would have died." Sakura said.

"Sakura-Chan I would have been fine but we are gonna get you back to the village get you to the Old Hag to get you fixed up for Sasuke." Naruto stated not knowing that he is married to Karin.

Sakura through labored breathing and blood loss. "Naruto I want to tell you before I die I want to tell you I love you Naruto." Sakura stated as she started to lose conscious.

"No Sakura-Chan don't talk save your energy please you don't know what you're talking about Sakura-Chan It's Sasuke you love I told you don't lie to yourself." Naruto stated.

"No Naruto I do know." Sakura said before she passed out in his arms.

Naruto now panicing cause her breathing is getting worse. "No I almost got her killed even though I powered it down part of that rasengan hit her." Naruto thought to himself crying as he tried to pick up the pace as Sakura breathing was getting shorter.

"Sasuke her breathing we need to move fast she is gonna die and it is my fault." Naruto said as he tried to move faster.

Sasuke looking at his best friend closed his eyes and reopened them with his full Rinne Sharingan in his eye.

"Naruto brace yourself I'm gonna use my eyes power to teleport us to the village." Sasuke stated as he did that they vanished from the point they were at to the main gate of the village, Sasuke collapsed from over exerting his eye.

They were met by ANBU as soon as they appeared at the gates, Naruto did not waste time to explain. "Get the old hag have her meet me at the hospital tell her its Sakura-Chan and Sasuke." Naruto yelled to him as he took off flying to the hospital with Karin right behind him carrying Sasuke.

::: Konoha Hospital 10 minutes later :::

Tsunade burst into the room with Sakura aloud with Shizune and asked for an update got all the info and started to examine Sakura.

She started the healing at first to notice that it is not talking; she turns Sakura over and notices a seal from her wound that is moving slowly from the point of the wound in all directions.

"Shizune it's a Charka absorption seal she is having her chakra slowly being drained and anyone that tries to heal her just has there Chakra drawn to this seal." Tsunade stated.

Shizune on hearing that burst out to go get a book on seal as Tsunade starts to fix her wounds without chakra as to not have it drained.

Shizune rush back in the room with an old book with an Uzimaki symbol on it. "I have it Tsunade-Sama." Shizune says as the door closes behind her.

::: 8 hours later hospital room Konoha hospital:::

Naruto is sitting in Sakuras room as she slowly recovers from her injuries, Tsunade walks in and motions Naruto to come outside with her.

Naruto followed her out to the hallway to where Tsunade turns to him. "Ok Sakura will make a full recovery it might be a few days before she wakes up she was hurt bad and most of her Chakra was drained." Tsunade said getting a sigh of relief from Naruto.

Naruto looked up at her with a sad look on his face and was about to speak but was cut off by her. "I have also Talked to Sasuke before he was discharged don't you even dare blame yourself for this Naruto you did nothing wrong to her." Tsunade sternly told him.

"But Ba-Chan I hit her with my rasengan and even though I powered it down it was still there and hit her and pushed her father on that bone spike causing more damage." Naruto stated as Tsunade slapped him across the face.

"Damn Baka brat the reason she was dying was not your hit or even so much the spike that went through one of her kidneys it was a curse mark seal on it that transferred to Sakura and started draining her Chakra, I'm guessing she saw it on the spike and jumped up to prevent you from getting hit by it." Tsunade said.

Naruto rubbing his cheek looking at her confused. "That seal would have drained the nine tails out of you and killed you if she had not jumped in the way." Tsunade stated before heading off.

Naruto walked back into Sakuras room and took a seat next to her bed.

::: 4 days later:::

Naruto was sleeping with his head on the table next to Sakuras bed as Sakura started to wake up.

"Ugh where am I am I dead?" Sakura thought to herself as she strained to sit up in pain realizing that she was alive cause there was no way that death had this much pain.

She looked around her room to hear a loud snore to see Naruto passed out with his head on the table next to her.

"Look at the Baka I bet he has not even left I do not even know how long I have been out." Sakura thought to herself as she nudged Naruto to wake him up.

Naruto woke up looking around to see Sakura looking back at him."Sakura-Chan your awake." Naruto stated.

"Naruto how long have I been out?" She asked him.

"Um 4 days Sakura-Chan" Naruto said as he got up to stretch.

"Have you been here the whole time?" She asked.

"Mostly yea though Teme made me go home and shower yesterday something about being able to smell me from walking by the Hospital." Naruto said with a slight grin.

Naruto looked her right in her eyes Sapphire meeting emerald. "Sakura-Chan why would you do something like that I could have killed with that rasengan and that thing nearly killed you with his spike." Naruto asked her.

"I saw his curse seal starting to form on the bone I did not want you to get hit by it."

Naruto looked down at the ground. "Sakura I nearly lost you what would I have told Sasuke?" Naruto stated sadly.

"You're a Baka and you're lucky I'm still weak from my injuries or the hospital would need a new roof from you sailing through it." Sakura said with a little anger and annoyance in her voice.

"What why Sakura-Chan what did I do?" Naruto asked

"Sasuke is married you Baka why do you think Karin is in the village." Sakura stated.

Naruto looking at her wide eyed. "WHAT! Why would that teme do that to you doesn't he know how much you love him?" Naruto rambled on.

Sakura grabbed her IV stand and hit him across the head with it. :You Baka!" Sakura yelled at him.

After Naruto finished rubbing his head he looked at her again. "Sakura do you remember the run back here when I was carrying you?" Naruto asked.

"Somewhat Naruto." She answered.

"You said something to me and I want to know the truth was it for real or was it just from blood loss?" Naruto asked.

Sakura started to remember then she looked at Naruto. "Naruto come sit with me on my bed so we can talk about that." Sakura stated as she patted the bed next to her.

Naruto did so and just sat there. "Ok what?"

"Naruto do you love me answer the truth please do you love me yes or no." Sakura asked as Naruto looked confused.

"Um yes I do Sakura Chan why?" Naruto answered.

"And these feeling for me have nothing to do with competing with Sasuke?" Sakura asked again.

Naruto nodded. "No Sakura-Chan"

Sakura moved closer to Naruto. "Naruto since I almost lost you during the Shinobi world war I have been getting feelings that I somewhat did not understand, I was starting to realize that when I was near Sasuke I was happy but not as happy as I am when I'm around you, and after that date we had the other night I think is when it finally sunk in." Sakura explained.

Naruto looking confused. "I don't get it Sakura-Chan what do you mean?" Naruto asked her.

"Yes I remember what I said to you before I passed out on the way back here and I meant it Naruto I really do Love you." Sakura said cupping his cheek.

Naruto stared at her for like 10 minutes. "Um Naruto you ok?" She asked him as he was smiling.

He just looked her straight in the eyes. "I'm still sleeping and this is the best dream ever." Naruto exclaimed as a fist hit him in his and he went flying through the door into the hallway where Tsunade and Sasuke were going to check up on her.

"Ok that answers that question she is awake and looks like she has got her strength back as well." Tsunade said.

"Dumbass Dobe." Sasuke grunted out as Naruto got up and ran back in.

"Ok I'm not dreaming because that hurt." Naruto yelled as he ran back to Sakura.

::: 3 Days later :::

Tsunade was going over a last few things with Sakura as she was getting ready to leave the hospital.

"You are to remain off duty and take it easy for the next two weeks till you fully heal understood." Tsunade stated.

Sakura nodded as she signed the papers and headed out of the hospital where she met up with Naruto, she explained everything to Naruto about her having to take it easy to which Naruto states he will take care of her while she recovers at home which made Sakura happy.

::: 8 hours later Sakuras house:::

Naruto had been sitting with Sakura while she laid down on her bed she started to doze off.

Naruto looked at her and smiled. "Ok Sakura-Chan you rest I will be back tomorrow." Naruto said

He got up and started to leave till he was grabbed by Sakura. "No Naruto you don't have to leave you can sleep here." Sakura said as she pulled him back to the bed.

He laid down next to her as he started to doze off himself and Sakura rested her head on his chest falling asleep listening to his heartbeat.

Naruto looked down at her as he wrapped an arm around her and thought. "I can't believe that this is really true and if this is a dream I hope never to wake up."

"You really are brain-dead brat I swear." Kurama said back as Naruto fell asleep with a smile on his face ready to start his future.
