DarkNinjaz7; I have absolutely no idea how to name the child, I came up with like 13 different names but I couldn't decide T.T I still have time, I'm sure I'll end up freaking out about it at the last minute though…

A big thank you to all of you! Now,

ENJOY

Heavy footsteps disturbed the silence and a young man sighed in a futile attempt to clean his head. His mind was hazy and his body felt the need to lay and rest. He wasn't sure of anything anymore, he followed the strings of memories back to the reason of his confusion.

The Fourth Shinobi War had already begun, he joined the battlefield just yesterday. Today as he was heading for Konoha he came face to face with his long deceased older brother. Back then the only thing on his mind was to get some answers, he wanted to know, to satisfy the big 'why' that was lurking in every dark corner of his mind.

They ended up fighting that bastard Kabuto, his brother used a forbidden jutsu and put an end to the Edo Tensei, then he was gone, he disappeared but not before making sure he left him with something he could have never hoped for.

'I will always love you'

Love, it brought tears to his eyes. Was that the true power of love? Was it strong enough to wake the heart that he himself slaughtered and offered as a gift to revenge?

Love, it wasn't the first time he heard about it. Someone offered him love all those years ago, when he still believed happiness existed.

'She…'

His mind kept replaying images of her. She loved him and he could feel it, she was out there waiting.

He stared down at his unsheathed sword, it was stained with the blood of the filthy snake.

Blood, he hated it. The disgusting red color, the taste of copper, the feeling or it pouring out of one's body. The pain and agony, it all reminded him too much of 'that day'.

Then, why did he kill? Oh, that's right, to avenge his family, to silence the voices in his head, to be free again.

He knew what he had to do, so he let it all flood back. The painful memories andthe few, happy ones that were stolen right from inside his tiny fists.

He would make Konoha pay, even if it killed him. Every single one of them would have to suffer, even her, even his blond loudmouthed teammate, even his perverted old teacher.

He would make sure of it.

…!...

The jinchurikis all disappeared one by one and the blond ninja knew exactly who he was to thank for this.

'Itachi!'

Two others, one with black bowl cut hair and another with silver unruly hair, jumped by his side.

"Don't let your guard down!" The three Konoha shinobi and the vessel of the eight tails got into fighting positions. The masked man in front of them did the same.

"Naruto, don't rush into this"

"I know, Kakashi-sensei" The blond did a few hand seals and summoned a clone. The other two nodded and rushed forward with kicks and kunai ready to strike. The masked man dodged every hit and jumped up in the air to launch an attack of his own. Moments before he relished his attack, Naruto appeared behind him with the famous rasengan spinning wildly in his palm.

Seeing as he was in the middle of his own attack, he couldn't evade using his typical space-time ninjutsu. He twisted his body in mid-air to prevent a direct hit, however his arm got caught by the blue ball. Blood spluttered in the floor –or whatever was left of it.

The vessel of the hachibi released his own attack, but the masked man was ready to dodge.

'Damn, he got fast…' the masked man clutched his injured arm and cursed himself for getting so careless, he never expected the kyubi vessel to become that fast. His current speed reminded him of the boy's father, the fourth Hokage, he had managed to wound him too.

This fight wasn't going to be that easy. He weighed his options.

He had the chance to capture the remaining tailed beast and then proceed with his original plan. But he was up against two tailed beasts and two of Konoha's most powerful Jonin. Not to mention that his left hand was completely useless.

On the other hand with Kabuto gone, he was the only one left to lead their army. He cursed inwardly, he would have to wait to get his hands on the hachibi and the kyubi.

His sharingan begun spinning and a swirl begun to consume him.

The two jonin of Konoha rushed forward but it was already too late, he had escaped.

"We need to get back and inform the Kages" Naruto nodded.

"Me and Bee are going to help against the Zetsus." They all made to jump away before a spike of a quite familiar chakra made them freeze.

"T-This chakra… it's Sasuke's chakra!" The blond mumbled in disbelief. He rushed towards the source of the familiar sensation.

"Naruto wait!"

"No, this is something I have to do alone, you go and inform the others."

"I'm coming too" the silver haired Jonin raised his hand to stop the rapper wannabe.

"I will come back Naruto."

"I know you will sensei. One more thing,"

"Hm?"

"Don't tell Sakura-chan…" and with that he disappeared from sight, heading towards the one he considered his brother.

…!...

She plopped down on the chair and sighed.

'When Tsunade said we will be moved to the medic's team, this was not what I expected'

'Yeah…'

She was currently in one of the medic's tent. She was assigned to the team furthest from the battlefield as the leader. The medics here were all very polite and hardworking, but that did little to cover the gap created by their inexperience, that's why the patients that were delivered here were not in a critical condition.

'Shisou definitely made sure I wasn't stressed.' Oh, how badly she wanted to join the battlefield, or at least help with the most critically injured, but both her senseis promised her a very slow and painful death if she put their future grandchild in danger.

'Who knew Kakashi could be that scary?'

'Don't remind me…' The aforementioned male had dropped by just before the war begun and told her to nit even consider of leaving the security of her tent, his words were accompanied by the most serious expression she had ever seen him wearing. After that he reverted back to his old self and told her that he expected her to take good care of 'Kakashi-junior'

He told her that as the teacher of both of the baby's parents and of course as his only grandfather he expected the boy –he insisted- to be named after him.

'The old man lost it! As if we would ever call our baby scarecrow!'

'Our baby…' Her hands rested on her stomach, where a small bump had already formed. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately and every single time she was surprised at the comfort she got in return and at the warmth that surrounded her heart.

'Let's see, I just entered the eleventh week, by now-" She held up her thumb and index finger.

'The baby should have grown to 5cm and by the end of this week he or she should be-' The distance between her two fingers grew.

'20cm. The ears move towards their final position and the facial development continues.' Her mind kept replaying whatever knowledge she had on this issue, but it was so hard to believe that there was a little human growing inside her.

She doesn't know him or her, but she holds their life in her hands. And she wants to protect them no matter what. She loves that little baby and she couldn't wait to finally meet that little heartbeat she kept hearing when she thought she was all alone.

She couldn't wait to meet that little life she helped creating.

"Haruno-sama?"

"Oh, sorry Yume I spaced out…" She quickly removed her hand from her belly, careful not to raise suspicion.

'I have to be more careful, I'm starting to show…'

"Your shift is over you should go rest, after all you were sick this morning."

"I will, thank you." She stood up and made to leave when she froze. A chill run up and down her spine and the small hair at the back of her neck stood up.

'What happened?'

'I'm not sure, but I have a really bad feeling…'

'You think…'

'It is possible… We have to do something!'

'We can't do anything, if these two are fighting do you think we can stop them?'

'We can't just sit here, remember what Naruto said, when they fight they will both die!'

'But-'

'NO, I'm going, I will find a way to stop them!' Her hand flew to her stomach.

'I'm sorry, right now I'm being a bad mother, can you ever forgive me? A faint thump was her only answer.

…!...

"Sasuke…"

"Naruto…"

The two men stood opposite from each other with their eyes locked in a fierce glare. There were no words uttered, because these two needed no words to know what was on the other's mind. The only thing that was heard was that of two blades clashing, the fight had already begun, with no war cries but with two hearts screaming.

So that's the end of chapter
