The two men charged up their attacks to full capacity as they rushed to each other in a blur of peed and power. The two teens who were best friends ran at each other as Shikamaru watched in utter awe.  Naruto the sun kissed blonde powered his rasengan as he felt himself have a flashback. The moment where a fight just like this happened on a hospital rooftop with sasuke.

Sasuke could remember all to well how he came form the skies like this and he screamed

"NARUTOOOOO!!!!

"SASUKEEEE!!!!

they screamed at each other and it all happened so slowly, Sasuke could see it clearly because just before the dangerous techniques could collide the blonde teen cancelled the juts allowing the chider to strike him dead centre in the chest. He could feel the hand wriggle in his chest and the feeling of bones snap and dissolve.

Sasuke was shocked as he watched his best friend and his very own hand that appeared on the other side of the mans back like a newly grown flower emerging from the soft soil it dwelled in.

"N-Naruto? Why?!"

"B-Because S-Sasuke..We're best friends D-Dattebayo.." he smiled proudly and his verbal tic was used. Sasuke couldn't believe it as he felt his head clear, he saw his best friend and all the blood surrounding them. He grasped the bonds hand and helped him stand up

"We have to-" Sasuke couldn't finish his sentence because he fainted form lack of blood. Naruto smiled weakly and carried him murmuring to the unconscious boy.

Naruto:~

"Geez Sasuke..Its great to see you again.." I whisper and heave him onto my back, I heard footsteps and saw the team Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba and Neji. They were all injured in some way and I weakly grinned at them"Hey guys!" I waved to them and winced at the gaping hole in my chest.

Kurama was still trying to heal it but since the seal was still in place it was going roughly, and Was causing a mountain of fiery pain explode from his healing. It hurts alot...but i know I can't stop him from healing or I might Die

We started to walk back with Sasuke on my back and my team trudging their way forward and soon one by one they dropped down exhausted. First It was choji and Kiba, So I carried Choji Bridal style while Shikamaru carried Kiba on his back. We were Tired and hungry, I can tell Neji is too but he wouldn't openly show it.

I slowed down to walk beside Neji but that aggravated the injuries on my whole body but I ignored it.

"Hey Neji How you holding up?" I mumbled and he shrugged his pale lavender eyes conflicted with pain. I can see him struggle for breath. He needs Kurama's Chakra Pronto!

"I'm fine Naruto, just a bit tired" he yawned and I quickly grabbed his hand channeling Kurama's chakra into his system so he would heal faster. It worked becasue I could see his wounds healing quickly and before long he looked good as new. "Thanks Naruto" he smiled softly as he helped me carry the Fat ass on my back.

We arrived in Konoha in about Ten minutes and as we were walking I could see the villagers whisper excited. They pointed at us and I could feel my heart swell happily at their reactions. they waved to us and even some villagers smiled happily at me, I was smiling happily but my vision started to blur and my feet didn't seem to walk properly. I stumbled to the hospital and we got everyone into a hospital bed and room, I stayed in the room with all my injured comrades with Naji standing by the wall. He threw me a cold coffee and I caught it quickly. 

"Thanks.." I muttered and he nodded sipping his grape juice. We tensed as we heard a pair of running feet and every step seemed to thunder in my ears making the headache I had all the more painful. Two girls blasted the door apart and searched the room before shouting 

"SASUKE-KUUUUN!!!!" They rushed to him, Honestly he had minimum injuries and most of that blood was mine since I carried him the whole way.

Sakura Rounded on me while Ino studied Sasuke carefully. Sakura started to scream at me and she looked pissed off

"YOU YOU MONSTER HOW DARE YOU HURT SASUKE KUN, HE WILL ALWAYS BE A BETTER NINJA THAN YOU. I TOLD YOU TO BRING HIM BACK NOT INJURE HIM YOU... YOU STUPID FUCKING DEMON. I KNEW NOBODY LOVED YOU I BET YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER ABANDONED YOU!!!' she screamed at me her voice was shrill and her words echoed in my ears. The rest of the team woke up by the screaming and we all stared at her huffing.

Neji kicked himself off the way and looked down at her before slapping her firmly and harshly.

"You are an idiot Haruno-teme if you think all that blood is Uchiha-sans" He growled his Byakugan activated. I stood up quickly And placed my hand on Neji's shoulder.  I looked down at the ground so nobody could see my expression

"It's fine Neji...Let her yell and scream..I can handle her anger. At those words said Sakura started to Scream gain

"HOW DARE YOU, YOU NO GOOD DEAD LAST YOU'RE A MONSTER AND A BASTARD WHO CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT. YOU'RE SUCH A DISGRACE I WISH YOU NEVER WERE ON MY TEAM!!!!" her voice resounded throughout the room and everybody winced at the loud volume.

I clenched my fist as I looked down before looking at my best friends bed where Ino inspected the blood over a magnifying glass. She frowned and looked at e worriedly. I smiled at her and pointed to my chest where she motioned me to come over and when I was about to go Sakura grabbed my hair and threw me too the floor harshly. I stood up and shuffled over to ino and sat down by Sasuke's bed. He looked so peaceful now that he wasn't over that snake bastards control.

Ino Opened my jacket and she gasped "Naruto!" she cried out tracing the large hole in my chest. It could close properly so Kurama only made it so the blood circulates around it leaving tough skin on the inside of the whole. It looked purple and black while my chest was littered with scars and bruises. Ino's eyes welled with tears as she traced every scar, she snapped out of her daze and patched me up while the whole room ignored Sakura's rant about me and her lovesickness for Sasuke.

"Thanks Ino.." I whisper as I pinned the long bandages together. She nodded and we heard the door open to see Tsunade-sama. I stood up and left Sasuke's bedside about to greet Tsunade when Sakura pushed me out of the way and greeted my grandmother.

"Hello Tsunade-sama!!" she screamed and I could see Tsunade wince. She glanced at the pink haired girl as she scanned the room before her eyes landed on me and the gaping hole in my chest. It hurts and it would never heal properly.

"Hey Baa-Chan" I greeted wearily. I was just so Sick and tired of having that mask on. That happy mask and everything in my body hurts.

She grasped me into a hug gently and smiled

"Glad your back Naruto.." she hugged me and my whole body felt like it was on fire and doused in salt because that pressure on my wounds exploded into pain. Tsunade smiled and looked at sakura and Ino shooing them out.

Neji looked at me and smiled before walking to his wall and leaning on it. Kiba and everybody else sighed as the noise level finally quieted and they went back to sleep, while I? I just watched over my best friend as e slept.
