I do not own Naruto, just my original stuff.

"Sasuke!" I ran towards Sasuke but Haku came in front of me.

"Sorry girl, but this is as far as you go." He brought out another senbon needle ready to kill me.

"Get out of my way!" He rounded a kick towards me. I jumped back and looked towards Sasuke. He was still on the ground and Naruto was still sitting right beside him. I took a step forward towards Sasuke but I was met with a kick to my stomach.

"Arghh!" I flew backwards and hit the ground flat on my stomach. I try to get up but then I see Haku standing right in front of me and tried to hit me with one of his senbon again but I ducked and dodged right in time.

"I know you must be in a lot of pain right now, considering you just lost your brother. But I know how it feels to lose someone close to you." haku said.

"Are you trying to console me right now!? You're the one who did this to him!" I shouted. "What do you know how I feel right now?! He is the only family I have left!" Tears started to stream down my face. My tears made my vision blurry and the pain made my body numb. I just heard someone mutter something and then I felt a sharp pain and met with darkness. Right before, I lost consciousness I heard someone say "I apologise. This is the only way I could protect you."

Naruto POV

"Damnit! Why did you save me!?" I shouted at Sauske, who had needles impaled in his back.

"My body moved on its own. I wasn't able to take revenge. He is still out there." Sasuke spoke in a quiet voice.

"What are y-" His eyes closed and his breathing stopped. "SASUKE! Damnit!"

I got up, looking for the man who killed my friend. My blood started to boil and my vision turned red. The only thing I could think of is my dead comrade and taking revenge for him. I saw the man standing with a kunai in his hand right next to…

"HIKARI!" I shouted. Both of my friends.. Killed by one man…

"HOW DARE YOU!?" I shouted in a voice that I didn't know belonged to me. And after that everything was a blur.

Fire was coursing through my body. All I could feel was sharp burning pain. My vision was all red, as I was standing in flames. I could hear someone shouting, a person screaming, sound of weapons clashing- 'a fight is going on. Fight, fight,- the battle with Zabuza. I remember it now. Masked ninja-ice mirrors- Sasuke!' I tried to open my eyes, but somehow my body wouldn't listen to me. The burning pain suddenly stopped and I was able to hear someone calling to me.

"Oi, kid wake up." I heard a gruff voice. I tried to open my eyes again but my body still wouldn't listen. I kept on feeling someone shaking me, calling my name.

"HIKARI!" I heard a familiar voice, Naruto. Get up Hikari. Get up! I opened my eyes.

"Hey! You're alive!" The first thing I saw was the shocked face of Tazuna. I looked around and saw Haku on the ground, bloody but before I could pay attention to that, I heard a sobbing. When I turned around I saw Sakura crying on… I gasped. I tried to get up but the burning sensation in my body returned. But I couldn't think of anything else except the body lying on the ground. I got up and went towards Sasuke, who was all bloody from senbon needles. I sat next to him and held his hand, tears started to fall from my eyes. Sakura looked up me and said something but I had already lost track of all of my surroundings. Only one thought going in my head, 'He left me.. I was all alone.'

I felt my hand being squeezed. I looked down at Sasuke, whose eyes were half open.

"Ugh… Sakura, feel too heavy." he mumbled. I took me a few seconds to register what happened.

"Sasuke!" I gasped. Sakura got off him and Sasuke sat up. I hugged him tightly. "You're ok." I felt him hugging me back too. "Sorry Hikari" Sasuke said softly. I looked at him before i could say anything Sakura was hugging him tightly and sobbing. Sasuke was also hugging her back. I was becoming aware of my surroundings again. I heard Naruto shouting, I looked towards him. He was shouting at Zabuza.

"HE LOVED YOU THAT MUCH! DO YOU REALLY FEEL NOTHING?! IF I BECOME AS STRONG AS YOU, WILL I ALSO BECOME LIKE YOU?! HE DIED FOR YOU! HE DIED AS A TOOL FOR YOU!" He was crying. I looked at Sasuke who was trying to stand up with the help of Sakura. 'Haku didn't kill me or Sasuke. He just put us in a death like state, like he did with Zabuza before. But why?' I stood up and the three of us went towards sensai and Naruto. They were watching Zabuza killing Gatos men with just a kunai in his mouth. It was brutal.

"Don't look away. The end of a man who lived a difficult life." We payed out attention back towards the demon of the mist. Naruto looked horrified. I went up towards him and put a hand on his shoulder and watched the mans end. Naruto turned around and looked me. There were so many expressions on his face, first shocked, then 'this is not real' look, then sad, then happy and then he hugged me. I could feel the tears on my shoulder. I smiled and hugged him back. "Gomen Naru-chan." I looked at him. "Sasuke is fine too." I turned towards Sasuke. He waved at Naruto. Naruto eyes was watering again and gave a slight smile.

"They are alright. That's great." Kakashi sensai said with a sigh of relief and he ruffled my hair. "You two siblings had me worried. I smiled.

"You guys have been at too much ease!" A voice shouted "Damn you ninjas.. Took our meal ticket! You guys are dead!" 'Ooh shit.. We are out chakra and we are in no shape to fight these guys now.'

"If you come further into our island, The citizens of this country will stop you with everything that we have got!" Inari said bravely. He had brought the entire village with him to fight. 'They learned to get up again… that's good' And in return the other ninjas ran away like the true cowards they were.

It was snowing and Team seven were standing in front of the two shinobis grave who fought bravely for their own causes.

"Kakashi sensai.. Were these two correct about ninjas?" Sakura asked

"A shinobi isn't supposed to pursue his own goals becoming the country's tool si the most important thing. That's the same for the leaf village"

"Ok, I just decided! I'm going to be a ninja in my own way!" Naruto announced. I smiled. 'This guys has his own way of doing everything. Maybe that's why he is so special.'

_The next day…_

"Thank you for everything.." The bridge builder said. The bridge was complete and we were on our way back home, to the leaf. Naruto and Inari were trying to hold back their tears. We said our good byes and headed on own way, hoping to meet sometime again. Everything looked normal, Sakura was asking Sasuke loads of questions, Naruto was trying to talk to Sakura and Sasuke was pulling me in front of him as a shield.

"Sensai?" I got out of Sasuke's grasp and walked up to Kakashi sensai. " About what we were talking about before, at the graves, you believe in that too? In being tools?" I asked sensai

"Well.. Each and every ninja has to live with dealing with that issue, just like Zabuza and Haku." Sensai said

"Hmm I see." I said quietly 'Is this what happens to every ninja? Did this happen to Itachi too?'
