Hi! Happy New Year!, i know i haven't uploaded for a while... But i was on vacation, and you know... With christmas and new year's i had no time left, but now it's all over and i'm ready to return... So their be plenty more of uploads as i already have two chapters written, Finally i hope you enjoy this one which is a bit sad ... Anyways enjoyyy!

The ambient was tense to say the least, Naruto tried to calm himself down . Chill, just take a deep breath he repeated this mantra over and over till he reached a peaceful state of mind , yeah , that's better ... Right? ... Uhh nope. We're still here with this INFECTED girl, Tsunade and Sakura tricked us, yeah it was certainly NOT okay.

"Okay , Sakura , i'm just gonna say it , WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT OF THIS?!" It was humanly impossible to yell louder, even Ten-ten was a little taken back. But not Sakura , that just wasn't her move, she stepped up to him and softly yet deadly said.

" Shut the fuck up, listen Genius , i had never met her , okay? How would i know?" He stood quietly, examining her face , yes he hated her , but anyone with a brain would have stayed quiet. Slowly he turned to Ellie.

"Okay brat , explain yourself"

Ellie shuddered at the mention of her , she was scared that they'll over-react and then they'll shoot her. The explanation had to be great.

"Okay ... I know this is gonna sound crazy, and stupid and like a lie...-"

"Off to a great start" Ten-ten arched her brow. " Sorry , continue"

"-Well i got this three weeks ago and-"

"Girl don't even try , the infection takes effect after two days max" Ten-ten said knowingly

" Yeah.. You'd have to be immune- nope , thats impossible girl" Naruto didn't knew what to do , the obvious thing was killing her , but she reminded him of Nathalie , of course his baby girl was way sweeter , and smiling , and... Mmmm... The thought made him sad, melancholy shone through his face .

Ten-ten saw it , and figured that he needed a little bit of time. So she continued.

"Let me see it" Sakura was watching from afar , whats up with Naruto , the she turned her attention to Ten-ten , she was unbending the infection and she watched carefully , it didn't looked like an infection, it seemed like more of a huge bruise.

"Ten-ten" She finally spoke up " i'ts true..." She gaped at the pinkette was she dumb? , meanwhile Naruto regained seriousness and listened " I have experimented with infected before , their marks are bloody, and flesh usually comes out of it ... But this one seems like ... Like it was healing itself..." Naruto hated to admit it , but she was right.

"Fine Ellie, we'll take you" he glanced over at Ten-ten " but after this ... We'll take some well-deserved long-vacations" Ten-ten smiled , agreeing completely.

The sound of a sub-urban nature environment filled their ears, yes , it seemed pretty simple. Maybe it was, but then again , maybe it was not.

"Be quiet" The blonde suddenly said with a whisper , as he crouched behind a conveniently big rock placed oh-so-close to him , the girls followed his lead. That clicking sound, those clickers gave him the chills , maybe he could play it stealth , oh shit , Runners , nope , he couldn't , this was gonna turn in some real violent shit, great he cursed his luck.

"Ten-ten are you thinking what i'm thinking?"

"Well if the answer is 'Holy shit' then yes" she frowned and examined the situation. " Well , fuck it... Let's just do it " Sakura was mesmerized by the amount of courage Ten-ten had , she herself was scared as hell , and she could tell Ellie was too , she looked a little bit shaky."Uh... Ten-ten?" The little fourteen year old finally found her voice "H-how are we ... Uh ... You know... Getting through that" she pointed briefly at the sea of infected that lied beyond. Ten-ten smirked "How'd you think?"she glanced over at Naruto , who nodded in response as he charged his shotgun , and pistol. He looked over to both Ellie and Sakura " Stay here. i mean it!". Then he ran like crazy towards the infected and started shooting every single one of them , Ten-ten of course followed his lead , Sakura and Ellie watched awkwardly , they looked amused , as if they were having fun , well , aside from the possibility of imminent death , it looked pretty fun. The duo took opposite sides, Naruto on the left with the clickers , and Ten-ten in the right with a lot of runners , there was no need to say , that Sakura felt utterly useless, she watched with her mouth open as the single two of them shot, sliced, and stabbed infected , like what the hell?, why couldn't she do it... A scream took her out of her thoughts.

"Shit! Naruto , i ran out of ammo!" Naruto swiftly turned to look at Ten-ten , but he couldn't see her." Ten-ten where are you?!" A single scream answered him, but a clicker grabbed him , so he turned his attention back at them. Sakura analyzed the scene , and moved with Ellie towards the screaming , she was there , she was alive, kicking them to death, Sakura remembered her gun and quickly shouted "Ten-ten! Grab it!" She tossed her gun and Ten-ten quickly grabbed it , as she shot the runner about to grab her, after that everything was fine, Naruto was done with the clickers, and Ten-ten finally finished all those runners. He frowned looking at Ellie and Sakura.

"I thought i told you not to go anywhere"

"Hey, it's okay, she tossed me a gun , thanks to her i'm still alive" Ten-ten smiled at them, and Naruto sighed.

"Fine" The sub-urban environment that surrounded them finally seemed peaceful, he started scanning through the destroyed buildings , and broken houses.

"Sakura, where do we go now?"

" Tsunade mentioned something about a small building , kinda brownish, there, we'll find a clue of where to go next..."

"Oh great , clues..." Ellie said sarcastically.

"How could you not know where to go? After all , you are in Akatsuki right?" Ten-ten asked in confusion

"Well... Not really , i am part of the organization , but just merely in training , they don't share much..."

"Oh..."

The trees seemed oddly green , yet the air felt gray , everyone of them with a grim face , heading towards, yet another challenge, as soon as they reached a brownish building that matched the description, Sakura carefully analyzed it and looked for signs of Akatsuki, there it was , a reddish cloud hanging in the brownish paint of the building , it was small, but yet detectable.

"Yes , it's here"

As soon as they entered the building they heard a siren-like sound , they where soldiers , probably friends of those they just murdered... Oh shit , but they where not three or four , it was a fucking army ... Fuck! They left the detector, they know she's infected. How where they gonna get out?.

"Naruto" Ten-ten said coldly "I'll hold them up , you have to take this two with you..."

"Are you out of your fucking mind?"

"Oh no..." Ellie said

"What?"

"Naruto , i was bitten" they gasped , as she revealed the bite under her sleeve "Naruto this is fucking real" she took Ellie's bitten arm "i was bit just an hour ago , and look at it" indeed , it looked bloody and fleshy just like Sakura had said "You need to get the cure , and whether you like it or not she could help too" she pointed at Sakura.

"Come on Ten-"

"No! I won't turn into those...things"

"But-"

"Get out! Promise me you'll find Sasuke , he'll know where to go, and you will take them and protect them"

"I-i promise" he hugged her tightly "Be sure not to suffer ok?" She smiled "Suffer? I'm gonna give them the battle of their life" He was hesitant , but finally let go. He looked at the two saddened girls , and took Ellie on his back, she seemed confused.

"You're not fast enough girl" then he took Sakura's arm , and ran , but not before he glanced back at Ten-ten, and she gave him a nod.

"Be nice Blondie" With that she turned and headed outside, he ran as fast as he could, Sakura was getting tired but she kept up , they heard shots , and he would occasionally glanced over , Ten-ten was on fire , he had taken many down ... Maybe she could make it... No ... That is impossible , his fears realized when they heard the sound of a shotgun, her lifeless body fell to the floor , a single tear crossed Naruto's eyes, as he whispered.

"I hope you enjoy your well deserved rest, and i hope i get one soon"

.

Sooo... Yes, Ten-ten died... I know it's sad , but trust me it's for the better, now i wanna leave somethings clear that i have been getting on the reviews,

1. I intend to follow the main plot of the story, yes, but i do not want to copy every exact detail, in fact i think having Sakura there is a very important story twister, as there is gonna be a romance that did not happened in the original , and speaking of that ...

2 . Some people got mad, because all of the Sasuke taunting and just Sasuke being a part of it in general... People this is a Narusaku, full on , so don't worry about Sasusaku... In fact ... SPOILER ALERT ! Sasuke is going to be married when they get there...

Finally, i'd like to thank to everyone that read, reviewed and favorited my story... and if you want keep on leaving reviews as i'd live to here your opinion!
