Naruto's POV
Kakashi sensei walked over to a tent with Natalie on his back, she must be so tired. I walked over to the tent and noticed she was asleep and Kakashi put a hand on my shoulder. "Take care of her while I help." He said. I nodded and knelt next to her. I used a rag to clean the dirt and blood from her face and rummaged through my weapon bag until I found her headband. I tied it around her arm and sat next to her. "Naruto shouldn't you be helping the others." She said opening her eyes. I laughed and shook my head. "Kakashi sensei told me to look after you." She looked down at her arm and look surprised. "You actually kept my headband." She said looking at me. "Yeah you asked me to so I did." I replied. She smiled at me and hugged me tightly. She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and smiled at it. "What is it?" I asked.

Natalie's POV
"What is it?" Naruto asked. I looked up at him and smiled. "It's a letter from Itachi." I lied shoving it back into my pocket. I pulled out a chakra pill and Naruto peered at it curiously. "It's a pill I infused with my chakra in case I ran out." I explained taking it and feeling energy fill me from head to toe. "Natalie!" I could hear a voice scream. I was tackled to the ground by Konohamaru and I hugged him back tightly reading his mind. "You have grown so much, you must take after me because of how good of a ninja you are." I said ruffling his hair. "I never thought I would see you again." I kissed his forehead and chuckled as his cheeks went red. "Naruto I have to go get some things for Tsunade's treatment." I lied forcing a smile. He nodded and I walked out of the tent. I walked into the forest and actually grabbed some herbs that would help the healing process while walking through the wooded area. "Natalie." I heard Sasuke say. I looked up at him and ran into his arms. He hugged me tightly and buried his face in my neck. "God I never thought I would see you again." He said. I let go of him and he smiled at me. A genuine beautiful smile. I could feel my cheeks heat up, but I ignored it. I was too happy to care anymore. "You're alive everyone thought you were dead...I thought you were dead." He said looking down at me. "Yeah I'm fine, I had to fake my death, I didn't want people to come looking for me." I explained. Sasuke nodded, but I could hear calls of his name. "There you are Sasuke." Karin said. She glared at me as she noticed that I was next to him. I smirked and looked back at Sasuke. "You found a safe way to contact me so I would like if you kept me updated and let me know if you're hurt." I said looking up at him. "Okay I've got to go now. Be safe." He whispered. He looked back at Karin and kissed my cheek and walked off. Karin had her jaw dropped and Jugo was trying to hold back laughs along with Suigetsu. I blushed and walked off back to Konoha. "Damn you Uchiha." I muttered placing a hand where he had kissed me. I walked to Tsunade's tent and grabbed a mortar and pestle and started to grind the herbs into a thick paste and added one of my chakra pills. "Natalie we brought you and Sakura some food." Choji said walking in with rice balls. "Thank you Choji." I said taking one and biting into it. I ignored the yelling that took place and spread the paste behind Tsunade's ears, on her temples, and her jaw. "What's that supposed to do?" Sakura asked. "It's a chakra paste I created, tested it out when Kisame over did it with Samehada. It helps get chakra into her system without any problems, plus the herbs are meant to calm the person who has it on." I explained smiling at her. I looked at Naruto and Choji joking and laughing with each other. "Naruto, Choji can you get some water for me please, Sakura can show you the right kind to get." I said. They nodded and walked out of the tent and I sighed. "If only you could see me now Tsunade, you would be so proud." I said looking down at her. "I'm the reason you're like this." I wiped away tears and put my hands over her. Angry purple and red light swirled around her and I could feel my energy draining once again, but I refused to stop until I passed out. "Natalie don't overdo it." I heard a familiar voice say. I glared in the direction of Orochimaru and Karin. "If you come any closer I'll kill you." I snarled. "I'm very sure you could, but that is not why we are here. I have come to heal Tsunade completely so you don't die. Karin let her bite you." He said. "She'll die if she does." I said looking at her. "It was my choice so I giving my life for someone much more useful." Karin said walking over to Tsunade. She bit her and Karin fell to the ground. I ran to her and felt for a pulse, but felt nothing. I closed my eyes and looked at Orochimaru who had a sad look on his face. "You finally did something right for once." I muttered handing her body to him. "Make sure Tsunade is well taken care of, I cannot lose another teammate." He said. "YOU HAVE SOME NERVE! Sasuke is not like he used to be, he's different because of you. You took away one of my teammates." He looked shocked my nodded understanding what her had done. "I'll take my leave now." I watched him walk out and turned back to face Tsunade and teared up as she looked like she did when I had left. I grabbed a food pill out of my bag and put it in her mouth. "C'mon Tsunade." I whispered pleading that she would wake up. "Natalie we saw Orochimaru walk out of here are you okay?" Shino asked walking in with Kiba. "Yes I'm fine he helped her actually." I said. "They are already trying to find another Hokage." Kiba said sitting next to me. "What happened to Niobi?" I asked looking up at him. "He died following your orders apparently. He tried to protect Asuma and Shikamaru when they were fighting Hidan." He explained. I grew angry and slammed my fist against the ground. "Asuma is dead because of Hidan, so is Niobi?" I asked again angrily. He nodded and I stormed out of the tent. "You're in for one hell of a fight you Jashin prick." I growled walking into the forest and finding Hidan who had his arms open for a hug. I charged at him and grabbed his throat. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCK WITH THEM!!"I screamed. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Don't play innocent, you killed Asuma and Niobi." I snapped. He froze and I glared at him and took out Samehada. She let out a loud snarl and charged towards him ripping his body to shreds. I summoned Akari and glared at the pieces of him. "Separate the pieces of him, I never want to see him whole again." I ordered walking away. I walked back into Tsunade's tent and she was sitting up and talking. "Tsunade...you're okay." I sobbed hugging her tightly. "Natalie thank god you're okay." She said hugging me back. "You came back I always told Kakashi that you would." She sobbed. I smiled and she kissed my forehead.
