Amaya’s POV
“NARUTO!”
In that instance I heard a cracking noise I dropped my head and started to bawl my eyes out. This cannot be happening.
By now Itachi had loosened his hold on me and I slowly fell to my knees and covered my face with my hands.
“This can’t be happening, this can’t be happening…” I wept in utter sorrow I didn’t even pay attention to my surrounding.
Nothing mattered anymore one of the persons I hold dear to me just… I can’t even say it.

It wasn’t until I felt a hand on my shoulder that removed my hands from my face.
“Look it’s not over yet.” I heard Konan whisper in my ear I snapped my head up and focused on what was happening.
My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open Naruto was standing tall and Pein was now holding a bloody nose.
So Pein hadn’t broken Naruto’s neck, Naruto had broken Pein’s nose in a surprise attack. Naruto looked over at me gave me a thumbs up and grinned.
“D-Don’t cry Amaya, I-I’m n-never going to g-give up, t-that’s just my way.” I brought my hands to my mouth to stifle a cry.
I was still crying but for an entirely different reason, I was crying out of joy for Naruto being alive and well.
Naruto then looked back at Pein and gave him a scary face, “I-I’ll never give u-up on family.” Pein only looked at Naruto before wiping the blood away from his face.
“Even though I almost killed you your still standing.” Naruto’s grin then turned into a smirk. “Y-Yeah it’s going to take a lot more than that to get rid of me.”
“Naruto you idiot! Don’t egg him on like that!” I screamed whipping the tears from my face, Naruto glanced back at me and rubbed his neck and laughed.
“Hehe, sorry Amaya I couldn’t help it.” Pein moved his leg back and Naruto’s attention immediately snapped back to him.
All the amusement and cheeriness gone to be replaced by seriousness, Pein took on more step back Naruto took a stance ready for anything.
But just when we all thought Pein was going to start fighting again he turned around and started to walk away.
Naruto blinked a few times and stared at Pein’s retreating figure, “HEY! Where are you going?!” Pein didn’t even glance back but he did answer.
“I have lost all interest in this battle, be grateful I let you live.” Relief washed over me as he when he said he was going to let Naruto live.
I stood up from my place on the ground and ran past Pein to Naruto and wrapped him in my embrace giving him the biggest hug I’ve ever given anyone.
