Chapter 14: To The rescue

Hello everyone! I'm back...never mind that, let's get to the story.

"Let's go!" Naruto yelled as he charged at Tsunade.

She simply stood there and waited for Naruto to come but to her surprise, Naruto did a back flip and she saw Sasuke inhaling.

"FIRE STYLE: FIREBALL JUTSU!" he yelled and exhaled, blowing fire at Tsunade.

She quickly punched the ground... sorry, I meant, she POKED the ground and a wall rose, blocking the fire.

Naruto slowly descend as he made his favorite seal. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" ten clones came to life and they all threw shuriken.

"Useless." Tsunade said as she easily dodged it, but to her surprise, the shuriken transformed to other Narutos. 'Since... since when did clones transformed to shuriken?'

All the Narutos charge at Tsunade and tried to punch her but she flicked a clone and it crashed through the rest.

"Damn Naruto..." Sasuke said. "Your body is seriously weak."

"Shut up!" Naruto yelled and dived at Tsunade.

He threw a punch but Tsunade just sidestepped and Naruto tripped over his feet.

"Heh, worthless brat." Tsunade said and she looked back to see Sasuke about to kick her but she simply held a fin and she stopped the kick.

Sasuke jumped back, making other hand sign. "FIRE STYLE: PHOENIX FLOWER JUTSU!" several small fireballs flew towards Tsunade, she ran towards Sasuke and she suddenly spin in middle, dodging all the flames and she was suddenly in front of Sasuke.

"Bye..." she gave a really light punch, but apparently it was strong enough to knock the wind out of Sasuke.

"Damn it, what the hell do you eat?" Sasuke gasped.

Tsunade smirked, not noticing Naruto running towards her with a kunai in hand.

He went for a stab but Tsunade quickly turned and swipe the kunai and kicked Naruto, throwing him back.

"You boys made the mistake to challenge me, do you really think you could beat a sannin?" she suddenly heard birds chirping and turned back and to her surprise, Sasuke was preparing the chidori. "What the..." she heard a whirling sound and saw Naruto trying to make the rasengan, though it looks incomplete and unstable. "What the... is Jiraiya insane?" she asked quietly to herself. Naruto and Sasuke went and charged at Tsunade, she looked at them and smirked at their stupidity.

In the last second, Tsunade jumped up, making Naruto's and Sasuke's attack collide.

"Ugh, damn it..." Naruto said, under the collision.

"Tsk, shit..." Sasuke said, also under the collision.

Before any of them knew, Tsunade came down and kicked them hard in the face.

Knocking them both effectively unconscious.

Tsunade smirked. "Too easy."

Shizune went and started healing Naruto's and Sasuke's face.

Jiraiya walked towards Tsunade. "Why were you too fighting about?" he asked.

"Oh, like you don't know. These brats want me to help them heal their little friends... Pfft, as if I have the time." Tsunade said.

Jiraiya frowned. "So you wouldn't even take your time to help him?" Jiraiya asked.

"Not if it forces me to return to the leaf village." Tsunade said.

Jiraiya sighed. "Do you know who that is?" Jiraiya asked.

"No, and I could care less." Tsunade said.

Jiraiya sighed again. "He's name is Naruto Uzumaki."

Tsunade, who was walking away, stopped dead in her track. She trembled slightly. "U... Uzumaki?" she asked.

Jiraiya nodded. "Yes... Kushina's son your best friend." he reminded.

"I know who Kushina is!" she snapped.

"Oh really?' Jiraiya asked, Tsunade turned and glared at Jiraiya. "Then why didn't you come to her funeral?" he asked.

Tsunade eyes widen and she turned away.

Jiraiya, for the third time, sighed. "What happened Tsunade, like I said, you and Kushina were best friends, and you knew she had a kid, but you never bothered to check up on Naruto and you didn't come to her funeral, you weren't there for Naruto."

"Ha, don't leave yourself out of this, you weren't there for Naruto either." Tsunade retorted.

"Well at least I tried." Jiraiya said.

"Ha! Please, you probably just went there to do your research."

Jiraiya frowned. "I'm serious! The damn council wouldn't let me get near the boy for reason I don't know, at least I tried! You never bothered to even remember Naruto, you abandoned him, especially when he needed someone the most." Jiraiya said with a sad face. "Kushina would be really disappointed." he said.

Tsunade snapped. "AAAAAAAARRGGHH!" Tsunade charged at Jiraiya and threw several punches at him in a blind rage, Jiraiya easily dodged them all. Soon Jiraiya caught both Tsunade's hands, Tsunade was panting.

"Tell me Tsunade, why weren't you there for Naruto nor Kushina?" Jiraiya asked.

Tsunade closed her eyes tight. "I was... afraid." she answered.

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. "Afraid? Afraid of what?'

"Of losing Naruto." she answered again.

"Huh?"

Tsunade sighed, trying to control her raging emotions. "Because, my brother Nawaki died, and he was dear to me... my boyfriend Dan was also dear to me, and he died... Kushina was my best friend... she also died..." tears were running down her eyes. "Don't you see, everyone that is precious to me is dying, I was afraid that if I stayed close to Naruto he would also die... and I wouldn't be able to live with myself is he did."

Jiraiya slowly let go of Tsunade's wrist, Tsunade sink to her knees.

"Tsunade... I know you were afraid, but you could be there for him now, all he wants is for you to get his girlfriend out of a strong genjutsu and that's it; nothing major... you can make it up to him for not being for him now."

Tsunade slowly picked herself up and wipe her tears. "Alright." she answered.

Almost on cue, Naruto groaned as he started to regain consciousness, along with Sasuke.

They looked at Jiraiya and then Tsunade. Naruto wore a sad face and stood.

"Come on Sasuke..." he said and started to leave.

"Where are you going?" Jiraiya asked.

"To the hotel, to find someone else that might be good enough to cure Sakura-Chan." Naruto said.

"That won't be necessary, Tsunade hear agreed to cure your little friend." Jiraiya said.

Naruto looked at Jiraiya questionably. "Really? Why should I believe you?" he asked.

"Oh, so what you're saying is that you want to see your girlfriend suffer? That's fine by me." Tsunade said.

Naruto blushed by having Sakura called his girlfriend. "Ok, ok! I believe you! Now let's go!" Naruto yelled as he started running towards the hotel to get his stuff.

Sasuke, still feeling the after effect of their fights. He turns towards Tsunade.

"What made you change your mind?" he asked.

"Oh... me and Jiraiya had a little talk." Tsunade said.

"So... he promised sex if you come?" Sasuke questioned.

Naruto was still running toward the hotel before a dust cloud passed by him, he looked to see a screaming Sasuke, Naruto looked back to see a yelling Tsunade, emitting an aura promising death for anyone who tried to stop her.

Naruto quickly stepped aside and let Tsunade chase Sasuke.

After several minutes, Naruto, Jiraiya and Shizune entered Naruto's hotel room to find an even more injured Sasuke lying on the floor while Tsunade watched TV.

"It's about God damn time you guys got here." Tsunade said. Ignoring everyone scared looks.

"Are you sure she's the right lady to heal Sakura-Chan?" Naruto whispered to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya nodded. Shizune went to Sasuke and started healing him... again.

(Five days later)

Naruto doesn't know how, but for some reason it took him three days to get to Konoha instead of two days, all he knew is that it had something to do about Jiraiya research, Sasuke pissing Tsunade off, and buying Tonton some food.

They finally made it.

Izumo and Kotetsu was sitting, bored out of their minds... like always.

"You know, I really wish something interesting happens, like... a body falls here..." just like last time, Sasuke went flying. But instead of crashing in front of them, he crash on them.

All three were knocked unconscious as Naruto ran through the gates.

"Sasuke!" Naruto called. "Are you ok?" he asked.

"I just got punched by one of the sannins! What do you think?" he asked.

Naruto nodded before a smile crossed his face. He patted Sasuke's check. "You'll be fine." he ran towards the hospital. "Come on grandma! We got to hurry!" Naruto yelled.

Tsunade walked through the gates and woke up the two guards, ignoring Sasuke's curses.

She grabbed Sasuke's leg and started to drag him towards the hospital, with Jiraiya walking by Shizune, trying to get her to drink wine with him.

Naruto checked in with the assistant and walked towards Sakura's room.

Naruto walked in and saw Sakura laying there, she seemed slightly more relax, but was still griping the sheet tightly, wishing the pain to go away.

It still pained Naruto to see her like that but he couldn't help smiling, itching to see her smile again and her jade eyes. His heart beating faster by the second, and by the time ten seconds passed, he started questioning if old age finally caught up to Tsunade and she suddenly dies on the street.

His worry was proven wrong when Tsunade, and for some reason the whole Konoha 11 came by.

Tsunade walked towards Sakura. "So this is the girl?" she asked.

Naruto nodded. "Can you help her?" he asked.

Tsunade put a glowing hand over Sakura's forehead. "Yeah, but it'll take time, everyone get out, I need space." everyone did what they were told.

Naruto sitting on the bench, tapping his fingers nervously, waiting for Tsunade to come out.

Everyone was feeling uncomfortable in Naruto's present, noticing Naruto's discomfort form.

Several hours passed and some people left, telling Naruto to 'be strong' whatever that means.

One of the peculiar people to leave is Hinata, Choji, Neji, Shino, and Tenten.

After several more hours, Tsunade came out. "She's..." before she got to finish. Naruto rushed passed her. She looked back to see Naruto looking at Sakura, she turned back to the others. "He's pretty impatience isn't he?" she asked. Everyone nodded.

"Sakura-Chan... Sakura-Chan..." Naruto said softly to Sakura, trying to wake her up.

Sakura slowly, oh so slowly, opened her eyes, Naruto smiled upon seeing her jades eyes again. He waited for Sakura to say something.

"S-Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked.

Sakura turned to Naruto and her eyes widen. Without thinking, she brought her arms and gave Naruto a tight hugs.

Naruto was shock by Sakura's action, even more when Sakura started to sob on his chest.

"Sakura-Chan, what..."

"Don't leave me..." she whispered.

"W-what..." Naruto looked at Sakura expecting an answer from her, but he received something he didn't expected, which no one expected, Sakura kissed him... yeah you read right.

Naruto was shock but everyone who thought Sakura loved Sasuke was even more shock, which to say was almost everyone except Jiraiya, Sasuke, Kakashi and Ino... but they were still mildly shock.

Sakura broke the kiss and continue to hold Naruto tightly. "Naruto-kun, I love you, I always have." she whispered, shocking everyone even more.

"W-what...?" Naruto intelligently asked. "But I thought you..."

"No... I don't love Sasuke... I really do love you... Naruto-kun." she said, resting her head in his chest, trying to relax herself.

Naruto slowly wrap his arms around Sakura. Smiling brightly. "I'm glad you said that." he said.

Sakura also smiled, despite having felt pain in the last week. "Don't leave me."

"Never would I dream of it."

"... promise?"

"It's a promise of a lifetime." Naruto said with his fox grin which Sakura grew to love.

Everyone had an uncomfortable silent, watching the two express their love... not in that way.

Sasuke was the first to speak. "I guess we should leave... you know... to give them space." he whispered to everyone, everyone did that, leaving, letting Naruto and Sakura enjoy each other company.
