"Naruto...."

The boys all turn behind.

They saw Sakura and Lee.

"Please...Can I follow?" Sakura ask.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama specificially not to bring you and Senna" Shikamaru said.

'Senna-chan, Why? She's strong too...' The blond dope thought.

"Then please...bring Sasuke-kun back. I went to Senna's house... She didn't open the door. I'm sure she's inside!! She must have heard about Sasuke-kun!! Naruto, please help us!!" Sakura begged.

Naruto gave her a grin and a thumbs up.

"Of course!! Believe it!! I'll bring him back even if I have to bring him by force!!" Naruto said.

sakura smiled.

"Arigato...Naruto..."

The boys begin their retrival mission.

"Now, Shizune, lets go" Tsunade said, standing up and walking towards the door.

"Eh? Where to?" Shizune ask.

"Senna's house" Tsunade said and went out.

They both reach her house and knock on the door. But alas, nothing answered. All quiet.

Tsunade took a hold of the knob and twist it. The door open. She went in.

"T-tsunade-sama...I dont think we should...." Shizune whispered.

Since the house is a one room apartment, Tsunade immediately saw Senna laying down on her bed, her arm laying over her eyes, covering it.

"Senna" Tsunade called.

Senna didn't respond. Tsunade knew she's awake....Yet....

"Judging from your reaction, you already knew...?" Tsunade state, more like a question.

"Tsunade-sama....maybe....I shouldn't have open up?" Senna finally speak up.

but her voice are hoarse. Dry.

"Senna--"

"Maybe I shouldn't come here in the first place..." Senna state, cutting Tsunade off.

"Senna--"

"I...I couldn't do anything. I was too weak to confront him...I didn't stop him...I cant stop him..." Senna said, once again cutting Tsunade off.

Tsunade in the other hand frown.

'Senna, Who I've met before, emotionless, distance...Now All those are gone... Yet now, she's falling, drowning from the overwhelming negative emotions...' Tsunade thought.

"Senna, I wont stop you from not blaming yourself... But dont blame yourself to the extend that you break yourself apart. I'm telling you from experience...I have lost someone important to me too... Of course I cant compare to you... Senna, dont blame yourself" Tsunade sat by the bed.

She held her hand out and place it to Senna's chest. Her hand start glowing green.

Senna's ragged breathing calmed down.

"Go to sleep. You need the rest" Tsunade said.

Senna went to sleep.

"Tsunade-sama?" Shizune who have been looking by the side ask the silent question.

"Dont worry. I know Senna would Know he's gone. A person, so important to her life. The third was her first important. Yet he died. Now Sasuke...Who wouldn't break down right? I just put her to sleep, she'll be up in awhile" Tsunade said.

They went back to the office, only to find Kakashi there.

"You send a bunch of gennins?!" Kakashi exclaim, after hearing what happened.

"I got no choice, Kakashi. All the jounins are out currently. They're the only one left" Tsunade said.

"Then please let me go!" Kakashi said.

"I understand...You may go" Tsunade said.

Kakashi immediately went out.

'Please...Dont do anything stupid...' Kakashi thought as he rush through the forest.

The two fated one clash at eachother with the greatest jutsu they have in hand.

The strongest Chidori, versus the strongest Rasengan.

A power which meant to protect. Not to kill your friend.

The attack hit both side. Sasuke on his wings, where its tremendously healing. The curse mark were the one who provided the wings.

On the other hand, Naruto got hit on his stomach, creating a big hole. Also tremendously healing due to the kyuubi chakra power.

They both collapse. Naruto passed out. Sasuke then painfully stood up and went to Naruto.

"I'll never be like you...so, Take care of her for me." Sasuke said and went off.

His headband which must have been slashed across the konoha symbol during the clashing, Lay down beside Naruto.

Kakashi came a moment later, his hound dog, Pakun, together.

"Am I too late?" Kakashi stare sadly at Naruto's figure.

He took Naruto and carried him on his back towards the village.

'Senna... Its okay... you wont have to use that power...I can die in peace knowing a shinobi like you is protecting Konoha... I entrust my will to you...my dear. Dont cry, I'll be watching you and everyone else....Dont worry' The third hokage's last word echoed in Senna's mind.

she immediately woke up from her sleep. She look sadly, staring at her palm of her hand.

"Ojii-sama...."

She didn't know how long has it been she's sleeping. She stood up and clean her messy self up. She quietly went to the hospital, sensing Tsunade's chakra.

She then saw Shikaku, Shikamaru's father. Not far, Shikamaru himself in tears.

Shikaku sensing someone turn and saw Senna. Senna gave a nod as a sign of greeting and went away. She then reach a certain room where a certain Inuzuka and his dog still pass out. She went in.

"Sorry...." She whispered.

Another person came in. A fairly tall woman her hair tied up to a ponytail and a similar Inuzuka marking on her face.

She saw Senna. Senna then turn around and look at her for awhile and bow slightly, then went out.

She then reach a certain clan's place. She saw the person, resting on the bed.

Hinata who's supposed to go in that room saw her standing outside the door.

"S-senna....Neji-niisan is okay...He was healed properly..." Hinata said.

Senna did not even glance at her.

"I see...Thank you Hinata...." She said and teleport out.

She teleport to another part of the hospital and stood outside the door.

"I swear I'll bring him back!!! Call me an idiot or whatever!! If being an idiot is what it takes to bring him back, then I'll stay an idiot forever!!" Naruto declared.

Senna walk away from the place. And went to the Hokage's tower.

She went in the office to meet Tsunade.

"Senna, you're awake I see" Tsunade said, smiling.

"Yeah...I...wanna request to leave this village for a few years" Senna said.
