The next week they were called for a mission to the Kanabi Bridge and left.
Furi remained at the village, having her own solo mission at the time.
She was in ANBU and there were a few missions that nobody else was willing to take.
A month later, after having traveled around the Elemental Nations, she returned only to find out her brother and sensei were the only survivors of her group of friends.
"What?" Furi asked, her voice a hoarse whisper.
The Third Hokage sighed and steeped himself against the tears he was sure to come.
"Your brother is in the hospital for chakra exhaustion. He might not wake from the coma he is in. Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin were killed during the mission."
Furi's mind blanked and she sat on the floor, putting her hands to her masks. She ripped them off and stared at them for a little while before ripping her gloves off. She stared at the scars that adorned her hands before shooting up.
She glared at the Hokage and raced out the door.
Sarutobi stared at the masks and gloves she had left on the floor before reaching over and picking them up.
He stared at the report on his desk and picked up a pen. He had forms to fill and papers to sign; he came back to allow Minato a reprieve to grieve.
Furi raced for the hospital, using every ounce of speed she had. She arrived and sniffed out her brother's room, scaling the wall with chakra.
She slid his window open and climbed in, ignoring the nurse who screamed and ran from the room.
Furi took in Kakashi's helpless form and slid in the bed next to him. She pushed her face into his chest and listened to his heart. Her shoulders shaked and she started whimpering.
Minato walked in on Furi hugging Kakashi to her and sobbing, whispering about Obito and Ron and how he had to wake up.
Minato himself just wanted to curl up next to his remaining precious people and never let them leave his sights.
"Furi..." Minato spoke softly, hoping not to startle her.
She looked up, glaring at the blonde before turning to her brother again.
"Why Sensei? Why does the bad always happen to the good? They don't deserve it!"
"I know Furi. I wish I knew the answer to the question, but I do not. All I know is that I will do anything in my power to make sure it doesn't happen again. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help them."
Minato hugged Furi, ignoring the way she flinched at his touch and left.
As he stalked to the Hokage's Tower he started crying, not even trying to hide the tears.
