Disclaimer: own I don't Naruto. You may have to put those in the right order xD And if you can, that means you knew what I was going to say in the first place. Which means I really shouldn't have to write these anymore.

One thing to address anyone remember way back when I was saying that Naruto spoke English instead of Japanese? First of all, this isn't relevant. Although Naruto originated in Japan, Naruto could be speaking English or whatever, depending on the manga or anime you are reading/watching. Second, yes I have read a good amount of the manga. But I always found it strange how authors would say their characters were speaking Japanese, but everything was being wrote in English. Isn't that kind of weird? Hmm... Anyway, enough of that xD ON WITH THE STORY!

WARNING: Oh god, here comes the angst. Sorry people!

"Its gone... its all gone" Naruto said to himself as he fell to his hands and knees and started to cry.

The blonde ninja wasn't entirely correct. Some of Kilika had survived, but it was so little that it was quite easy to say there was nothing left. About three quarters of the once beautiful little city had been demolished by the initial tidal wave, and then what was left was damaged further by the thrashing around Sin was doing before it left.

"Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" Naruto cried to the air repeatedly, punching the ground over and over again. He eventually stopped hitting the defenseless soil, opting instead to lower his head onto it so he wouldn't have to see the utter devastation Sin had caused.

"You did it again Naruto... how many more people are going to die because of you?" Naruto said to himself quietly, hoping he wasn't going crazy for talking to himself. Of course, he talks to Kyuubi on a regular basis, but he doesn't count.

The distraught young boy got to his feet about a minute later, albeit very slowly. It felt as if his legs were going to give out, and every few seconds he would feel a brief spike of pain like fire shooting up and down his legs. He ignored it however, and continued walking towards his sword laying a few feet away.

Finally reaching the sword, which was laying in a small pile of leaves where he dropped it, Naruto picked it up and tried to lift it over his shoulder. Finding it much too heavy for his weakened state. He solved this by simply dragging the hulking mass of metal behind him, while starting to walk slowly towards the destroyed Kilika in a daze.

"Its all my fault... I killed them all..." Naruto mumbled to himself while walking down a gentle slope towards the shore. Even after such a disaster, the forest looked beautiful and ethereal, however the fox-boy couldn't find the heart to care. All this death and carnage, was created by him. Sin may have been the being that initiated it, but he was the one that led it here.

Naruto continued onto the shore, and looked up, still in a daze, to find several human bodies floating in the water. A few of them were missing limbs, and one or two were missing almost half their body. Naruto flinched when he saw them, and he felt his heart clench. They all had wide, unbelieving eyes, and their mouths were open in silent screams of terror. Naruto cried several more tears, and lowered his head in shame. He then knelt and said a short prayer, before standing and continuing towards the stable area of Kilika, vowing to come back and give them a proper burial. He owed those people at least that much for all he had done. He would have done it now, but he might still be able to help the survivors in some way. That is, if there were any.

Naruto stepped onto the only walkway still intact and continued deeper into the village. He saw a few people running around, shouting the names of loved ones and throwing debris around, hoping to uncover buried survivors. He wanted to go help, but at the moment he wanted to check on Maxie and Mizu. He knew it was selfish, but he didn't know any of these other people. He would look for those two first, then he would help the others.

Naruto stepped into the general area of Maxie's house, or at least where he remembered it was. He jumped onto a floating piece of walkway and surveyed the damage. It appeared that this place was in even worse shape then everything else, except the part of Kilika that was currently underwater. He could see several bodies floating here and there, beginning to turn the water red with blood. Whenever he saw a body he would check the face, then quickly look away when the cold, dead eyes seemed to stare at him.

Naruto used a few more smaller leaps, due to his tenketsus still being closed, to land in front of what he knew was Maxie and Mizu's house. The fox-boy could still see the remains of the clothes-line in front of the building. The structure hadn't fared well either however. The roof was completely gone, and he could spot the door a few feet away, ripped off the hinges. The windows were in no better shape, although one somehow managed to survive the destruction.

The ninja stepped slowly up to the building, afraid of what he may find inside. He lifted the sword that was still dragging behind him and sliced a plank of wood that had fallen into the door-less entrance. The blonde felt slightly relieved that his strength was beginning to return, and he walked into the beaten-down house.

The inside was terrible, and Naruto had to look away slightly, remembering how homey and nice the house looked only a day ago. The entire place was flooded, and he could see the odd little statue that he saw when he woke up drifting along the water with the other pieces of wreckage. Naruto continued looking around the little building and noticed, partly underwater, two bodies with most of the roof collapsed on top of them. The ninja cursed, and ran to the two while repeating a mantra of 'please be okay, please be okay...' in his head. He dropped Goukatoushin onto the water-covered floor and immediately began digging through the wood, tearing and throwing it all over. He eventually got it all off of the two, and was relieved, and even smiled when he found that they were both still 'whole'. However the smile quickly faded from his face

when he realized an important fact; neither of the two were breathing.

"Shit!" Naruto cursed aloud as he lifted Maxie off of his wife, as it seemed the man had jumped over Mizu to protect her from the debris. He then put his head to the man's chest and listened for a moment before sighing. There was no heartbeat. The man was dead.

Naruto brought himself over to the woman and like with Maxie, checked her for a heartbeat. He then gave a start when he realized that there was one. It was faint of course, but there was definitely one there. She still was not breathing however, so Naruto began to use mouth to mouth on Mizu; something he was taught quite early in the ninja academy. He paused however before pressing on her chest to try and make her expel the water. She was pregnant, and doing that would likely kill the baby before it was even born. Naruto began to panic. How in the world could he save them both? He continued to breath air into her however, hoping she could bring the water back up on her own, but nothing was working. He checked her heartbeat again; it was getting fainter. He was running out of time.

Naruto hurriedly thought back to the small amount of medical training he had been given. He had to stimulate the lungs somehow to make them bring the water up on their own. Pressing on a person's chest was the normal way, but he couldn't do that. Any stimulus though, however faint, would raise her chances for survival.

Naruto thought all this within the span of a second, so while still getting air into her lungs he placed his hands on her chest and started sending small chakra pulses through her. Similar to what Kyuubi does on occasion but much weaker. He didn't want to hurt her after all. After a few seconds of this he began to panic again, but smiled when Mizu lurched slightly and began coughing up the water in her lungs.

"Thank god..." Naruto said quietly while placing his hand on Mizu's back and sitting her up so she wouldn't swallow the water again by accident. After a few moments of this the woman fainted; likely from the strain, but was breathing steadily. Naruto smiled and prayed to every God he knew for keeping Mizu alive and most likely her baby as well. The ninja frowned mournfully however and looked over at Maxie. How would the woman react with her husband gone from this world? Naruto shook his head. He knew she wouldn't act well, he just hoped she wouldn't let it take over her life like he was guessing it would.

Naruto stared at Maxie's pale face, and wondered if he would end up like that someday as well. The man's precious person (people, Naruto reminded himself while looking at Mizu's stomach) was in danger, and he gave his life to save her. The blonde knew that in such a situation, he would have done the same. He likely wouldn't have died as Maxie had, but he still would give his life to save any of his precious people.

Naruto glanced once more at Mizu before picking the woman up bridal style and strapping his sword to his back again, and began walking out of the destroyed house and towards the area of the beach he saw with survivors. On the way he had a minute or two to contemplate.

Naruto thought of how the baby's life would be like now. He (or she Naruto thought) would likely grow up with a distraught mother and without a father entirely because of him. Naruto had been helped by these people, and what did he give in return? He had destroyed their happy little family simply by coming to Kilika. Naruto frowned at this and began to think of Maxie once more.

Maxie was like him, and Naruto didn't deny the fact that someday what happened to the man would happen to Naruto as well. There was one difference between him and Maxie however, the blonde thought while bowing his head in shame once again.

While Maxie saved people, he killed them.
