(I feel like this song matches Nakano for shippuden.)
"I'm just...Not meant to be happy, am I?"
"You couldn't control this. Don't blame yourself."
"It's my fault."
"You're being irrational, you couldn't control it."
"Kurama, you're just trying to cheer me up."
"Would you get it through your thick skull that none of this is your fault!"
"...I was reckless..."
"It happens to many. You're a kunoichi, it was unavoidable!"
"Kurama..." Nakano clenched her eyes and stared down at the medical paper in front of her with unshed tears.
"Kakashi's going to be mad. What if he...Leaves me?"
"The only thing he'll be mad about, is you considering that." Kurama pushed her with his snout inside the cell, making her fall and sit.
"..."
"Listen..."Kurama sighed and sat up, crossing his legs. "I guess no matter what I say, you'll blame yourself for this. But if this hurts you till the point that more...Negative thoughts cross your mind, I'm taking over and I'll knock 'ya out for a week!"
"Don't...Do that,please."
"Then pull yourself together!"

"Nee-Chan?" Nakano turns around, feeling a light flutter in her heart at the sight of her brother figure.
"Hey, Naruto. Did you enjoy your travels?" He grinned and jumped in front of her, Jiraiya close behind.
"Yeah! The world is so big, I barely got to explore all of it!"
"I see," She ruffled his hair. "I'm happy you're okay."
"Yeah, those Kapaski idiots can't get me!"
"Akatsuki, Naruto." Jiraiya corrected while Nakano winced a little at his loud voice. Nevertheless, she allowed a small laugh to leave her lips, and was thankful for her blindfold since the smile didn't meet her eyes one bit.
Seeming to notice this, Jiraiya rose an eyebrows and inspected her.
"You look terrible."
"I know," Naruto flinched and stared at her as if she was insane. "Eh?"
