No I haven't forgotten that this fic is about Sakura but one cannot suffice alone on Sakura there are other people withing this fic that shape the outcome. There may be some spoilers in this chapter sorry about that. Yes there will be complications to the jutsu and major side effects this chapter touches a little bit on that. Still you have to understand that no one has ever done this jutsu before. Also so far as I know no one has survived a jutsu that brings people back to life. Yes there will be more resurrections (insert dark laugh here). Once again I have no clue who she'll pair with basically you'll know when I do lol. Not very reassuring huh. If you have a vote let me know, and as always reviews are awesome and inspiring.
Not far from the Hokage tower a white building stood silently as ninja and civilians alike passed. Some would enter while others would glance for a minute as they passed. Most would simply bypass the building completely without regard It seemed so peacefully and quaint from outside, but if one would step within that mask would be ripped away in a split second. Even now a frantic Hokage was working tirelessly to save someone. Her brow creased as once again forced air into Sakura's lungs and pumped chakra around her heart trying to restart it. This was the second time her heart had stopped. How many times did she tell Sakura about depleting her chakra. How many times was she in this same situation as the girl beneath her would yet again be completely drained. This time was different though. This time she had been starving herself and severely dehydrated. Top that with sleep deprivation and the situation was dire. Still her Chakra was refusing to react at all it felt cold and lazy.
"Damn it Sakura you know better! Did you bring Kakashi back just to die in front of him? What about Naruto? Your to important you cant just die don't you see that your to damn important! No one knows the jutsu you just used. We wont be able to bring you back!" Tsunade screamed as she felt Sakura's heart beat again albeit tired but still functioning. Looking up at the clock she sighed. one minute. No brain damage that was a promising sign. Now if she could get the little bit of chakra Sakura still had left to speed up the replenishing process all would be fine. The only problem was her damn chakra wasn't responding. She'd be able to admit her and let her rest If it would just stop being so damn lazy and dormant. Her chakra reaching out to touch Sakura's trying to be soothing and draw more out to each point. Sweat that was clinging to her face causing her bangs to cling to her face.
Kakashi stood there motionless eyes glued to the operating room door wanting nothing more than to push it aside and find out what was going on. His fist clenching at his sides as he growled. She had to make it she wouldn't just die. Not after ripping him back from death. He wouldn't allow that and was quite sure that she wouldn't just turn over and allow death to win. She had proven that by resurrecting him. She was an angel beautiful and nurturing. She looked so frail and worn out when those once glistening emerald eyes looked into his eyes. A victorious and proud look in her eyes. Then they rolled up into her head and closed making her look like a demon. Nothing had scared him more than when her breath stopped and Tsunade stood there in the doorway. All he could do was cradle her to his chest protectively.
"Grandma's got it under control Kakashi stop looking like someone stole you dirty books." A man's voice called as a muscular hand clamped down on Kakashi's shoulder. Kakashi's eyes widen as panic tore through his body. Faster that Naruto could think his hand was grabbed and he was thrown forward. Reacting on impulse and years of training the toad sage's muscles stiffened and twisted bringing his feet over his head tucking his head into a roll. This allowed him to roll to his feet and quickly right himself so that he was face to face with Kakashi. A wide grin plastered on his face as he lifted an eyebrow.
"Really sensei I don't think that it would be a good idea to fight here or anytime soon. Grandma would be angry if we trashed her hospital. Sakura would be worse when she found out that I messed up any of her work on you." Kakashi's hands balled up as he heard the way Sakura's name was used so familiarly by an Akatsuki member. A growl wrenching from his throat. Why was Pein on such familiar terms with his Sakura? He shook his head slightly Sakura was his former student that was what he meant he tried to assure himself that at least. Something in him began to become angry at that thought.
"What gives you the right to use her name as you please? What is your business with Sakura Haruno? Are you here to kidnap her? I wont let you!" His irrationality evident in his voice. Catching on immediately that something was indeed wrong with his former teacher Naruto's senses became even more alert. The people here were in danger if he didn't figure out what was happening and fix the situation immediately.
"What are you talking about Kakashi why would I try to..."
"Shut up Pein! I suggest you leave before I kill you myself." Naruto's eyes closed with a smirk on his face. This was just a misunderstanding it happened all the time with people who didn't know that in fact Pein was dead. But Kakashi knew that Pein was dead he was there after the fight had been over what was this? Why the over protection of Sakura?
"Listen to me I'm not Pein. Kakashi sensei it's Naruto just relax. Allot has changed since your death and I promise that an explanation will be given to you until you are satisfied." Naruto's voice was calm, collected, and calculated He had to be careful this he knew as he took his first step towards his former teacher. If he could get close enough he could at least knock out his panicking friend. Then it happened Kakashi quickly grabbed a pen from the reception desk beside him and lunged for Naruto. At his current state Kakashi was hardly in any shape to keep up with the younger man his muscles hadn't been used in years and his movements were stiff and robotic. A chuckle almost escaping him at the thought that Hatake Kakashi wouldn't be able to beat him after so many years. Then out of no where a head of black hair flashed behind his attacker as a sense of dread claimed him.
"No don't do it Sai! It's Kakashi!" Naruto's words no sooner left his mouth than Kakashi was falling unconsciously toward him landing neatly in his arms. Behind him stood a stone faced man. His midnight tresses still swaying from his abrupt stop. His eyes a dark coal color holding a stern steely eyes assessing the situation. His posture now a little more lax as the words registered. A genuine smile now curling the pale boys lips. Which as usual creeped Naruto out just a little.
"Then why was he attacking you Naruto?" He asked the concern on his features evident Sai was no longer the awkward emotionless boy from there genin days. After allot of therapy, Sakura's tough love therapy, Danzo's death, and an unsealing jutsu later Sai began to accept and use his emotions properly. Still no matter how many times he saw Sai he would never get use to his former team mate with emotions. With a shake of his head Naruto released a breath that he was positive he couldn't recall holding.
"So ug- I mean Sakura was successful I see. Where is she?" Sai began dusting his baggy cargo shorts his strong arms resting at either side of his body. His baggy black t-shirt hanging from his neck like it had been over stretched just like the rest of his shirts. He scanned the area looking for his pink haired team mate with the hope that she hadn't overheard his almost slip up. His eyes once again focusing on Naruto his breath caught in his throat.
"She'll be fine Sai she's resting in her room now. Before you ask no you may not visit her until she comes to, and I have a chance to question her. I've stationed anbu at the door and windows. And what exactly happened to Hatake? Some one get this man to a room!" Tsunade's voice was shaking, her eyes tearing up as she almost collapsed to her knees. Quickly Sai caught her with a worried expression on his face. What was going on with Sakura that was so urgent that no one was allowed to see her? It had to be something that had to do with the revival jutsu.
"I knocked him out after he was shouting about Pein trying to kidnap Sakura. He looked panicked " Sai readily answered then remembered "He was really protective over Haruno-chan."
"He thought I was Pein... He attacked me all over saying Sakura's name. He seems to be breathing fine and as far as I know his hearts beating strong. Still he's really slow and his movements are stiff. If he becomes a ninja again then he's got allot of training to do." Naruto sighed stress clearly pushing its way to his features.
"It's shell shock nothing to be to worried about. He did after all die Naruto but that doesn't account for why he was in that state. Maybe his memories are mixing themselves together. I'll run some tests to see what I can find out until then Kakashi will be admitted to the psychiatric ward." Tsunade growled grabbing the nearest nurse and screamed. "WHY ISN'T HE IN A ROOM YET?"
