Sasuke seeing his teammate laying on the floor, passed out, trembling, with tears in her eyes only pissed him off. Sasuke looked at Itachi with his sharingan blazing at him, unable to keep his emotions under control. "What did you do to her!" Sasuke shouted.
Sasuke blindly rushed at Itachi with a chidori in his hand only to have his attack easily discarded by Itachi. In the process of stopping sasuke's chidori, Itachi broke sasuke's arm then tossed him aside.
Sasuke was on his knees holding his arm. "Kisame grab the girl and let's get out of here" Itachi said. Kisame grudgingly agreed then went over to naruko and reached his hand out to pick her up.
Sasuke quickly stood up, ran towards Itachi and Kisame, and shouted "get away from her!" Just as Kisame was going to grab naruko, Jiraya appeared and shoved Kisame away from her. Sasuke stopped when he saw that Jiraya had saved naruko.
Seeing that Itachi wasn't focusing on him, sasuke ran towards Itachi to take this opportunity to attack while he's wasn't looking but as sasuke got close to him Itachi saw him and a fight broke out.
After a while Itachi held sasuke against the wall by his neck while sasuke was badly injured. "You're still to weak foolish little brother. Unable to protect a single teammate how… disappointing" Itachi said.
Before sasuke was forced to relive the day the entire uchiha clan was massacred over and over again. Sasuke looked at naruko who was still passed out and managed to mutter "naruko" before passing out.
After Itachi and Kisame left, Jiraya looked at both naruko and sasuke. "Troublesome brats" Jiraya said with a sigh. He then looked at naruko confused when he heard her mutter "please don't leave me."
Just as Jiraya went over to naruko to try and wake her up, all of a sudden a kunai came flying past both Jiraya and naruko. Then Might Guy came in through the giant hole in the wall and kicked Jiraya in the face.
After a bit, Jiraya looked at Guy mad and holding a tissue up to his nose while Guy scratched the back of his head and said "sorry about that. I guess I was a little over enthusiastic. You see I was trying to hurry and I couldn't see very clearly. I was using my headband to peer into the opening. All I could see was a sinister figure and without thinking twice about it I just kind of went for it."
"If this is your way of saying sorry it sucks" Jiraya said mad. "I'm sorry it was just a simple misunderstanding" Guy said. "Simple minded is more like it but never mind that, we've gotta get sasuke to the medical core at once" Jiraya said. "Right" Guy said then went over and picked up sasuke. He then looked at naruko and said "what about her? Do you want me to take her to the medical core as well?"
"No I don't think Itachi used the same jutsu he used on sasuke. I think naruko is going to be fine. I'll tell her everything that happened when she wakes up" Jiraya said. "Alright if you insist" Guy said then left with sasuke on his back.
In Naruto's Dream
Naruko found herself rewatching the day she lost everyone and everything she loved all over again. She saw everyone in the village being murdered in the most brutal way with their bodies mangled. Some people had their eyes gouged out, some with their organs removed, a couple people were decapitated, and others had parts of their bodies removed. "N-no make it stop. I don't wanna relive this nightmare" naruko said looking down closing her eyes and gripping her hair.
When she opened her eyes and look up, she suddenly saw that she was no longer outside but she was inside her old home. She was in her parents old room with Kagome on her knees with her hands tied behind her back and with a sad expression on her face.
"Mom?" Naruko said. Then Niles appeared out of nowhere with a bloody katana and he was covered in blood. "Mom!" Naruko shouted as she saw Niles murder Kagome. Tears started to pore from her eyes, when she saw a younger version of herself running in.
She witnessed her's and Niles' conversation from when she was younger. The younger version of herself ran out of her house trying to get away from him. When he caught up to her, as Niles raised his katana to kill her, Ikki ran in front of her saving her but giving up her own life. As that was happening naruko dropped to her knees, clutching her head, and as loud as she could she screamed "STOP IT!"
Naruko woke up panting hard with sweat dripping down her forehead, tears in her eyes, and her heart beating fast. She then looked around the room and saw that she was sitting on a bed in a different room. "Well look at who finally woke up" Jiraya said. Naruko looked at him confused and said "what happened?"
Jiraya then explained what happened. When she heard about what happened to sasuke she felt really bad for him. She looked at Jiraya and said "pervy-sage, is sasuke gonna be alright?" "Physically yes but I am worried about what may have been done to his mind" Jiraya said.
Naruko looked down sadden. 'Sasuke… this is all my fault. If I hadn't passed out maybe I could have helped him and he wouldn't have been so badly wounded but instead I just let Itachi knock me out so sasuke had to fight against Itachi all by himself. He got hurt because of me. I swore that I would never just stand by and watch as the people I care about get killed or hurt and yet I did nothing to help sasuke… way to go naruko, this just proves how much of a failure you really are' naruko thought trembling with tears flowing down her face.
Upon seeing naruko crying Jiraya immediately went over to her to try and comfort her. "Hey it'll be ok. Look the woman we're looking for is a serpent medical specialist, a master of healing arts" Jiraya said. This immediately caught naruko's attention. She wiped away her tears and looked at Jiraya.
Jiraya told naruko that the woman they're looking for is one of the legendary sannin Tsunade and he explained to her who Tsunade is. Naruko, surprised, said "so this Tsunade lady is some great medical ninja that can help sasuke?" Jiraya nodded his head.
'If she's really that good at medical ninjutsu than maybe she can help lee too' naruko thought. She then got off the bed, gathered up her things, and said with a smile "well what are we waiting for. Let's go find this woman."
"Alright but before we go I wanted to ask you something" Jiraya said. "What is it?" Naruko said. Jiraya asked about what she saw when she was still unconscious and why she was saying 'please don't leave me.' Naruko really didn't want to talk about it so she decided to play dumb and act like she didn't know what he was talking about.
"What are you talk about pervy-sage?" Naruko said. Seeing the confused look on her face Jiraya figured that she had forgotten what happened while she was unconscious. Although he found the whole thing fishy, he decided to drop it for now but he promised to investigate it later.
