Enjoy ✨

The droplets from the heavens touched their pale and damaged skins, showering blessings from above. It was destruction all over.

Yes they had won, finally.

The war was over, only the remnants of the shattered trees and scattered lands were left, with a sky bursting rainfall.

Their skin felt foreign, warmth has left their bodies replaced by coldness and bruises.

"Oh my goodness." An old lady fell to her knees looking at the victims and the winners of this war. Her palms clasped to her mouth as tears of guilt fell from her light brown eyes.

They lay unconscious on the wet ground, tangled to each other. Even if consciousness left Naruto's mind, his arms never betrayed as they held Hinata close to himself.

I'm so sorry, Kushina and Hitomi. I failed both of you. I failed in protecting them. Please forgive me. The old lady thought as she them, on the verge of death, fighting for their lives.

Wounds open, blood clotted and flowing from his still untreated wounds. Red injuries turning into purplish blue swells. While her hair was all scattered, her cheeks swelled and her eyes bled, her clothes torn from where Shion scratched her earlier. Large scars visibly designed on her no longer flawless skin.

They were terribly hurt.

"Retreat them, quick." The same old woman yelled orders at her subordinates, they quickly ran in their direction and began separating the two of the.

"Land of waves. All of The most precious herbs are born their, and it's the nearest and our only choice at hand, since this village is totally destroyed." Everyone rushed to the carriages, carefully settling the gravely injured sorcerers inside.

"Where are the others?" Lady Tsunade inquired.

"I'll go search the castle." Master Jiraiya who accompanied her all along, ran in the direction of castle on his horse with other medics. His eyes ran on his dearest student, proudness reflecting in them.

"Come straight to the land of waves as soon as you find them and be safe. I can't wait for everyoneto be found, these two needs urgent hospitality. Rest is upto you Jiraiya." She hesitantly nodded towards the carriages.

"Don't worry, I'll handle the rest, treat them."

"Don't forget to fetch Orochimaru while you come back." And with that, they finally parted their ways.

They reached the castle in no time, the sky was rather clearer now.

The castle looked deserted. All the guards Toneri had set for himself lied on their positions. Released from Toneri's cast.

Deeper they went inside, they realised everyone was unconscious. They heard footsteps.

On the railing other saw Hiashi Hyuga, coughing and leaning on the staircase for support, he was so weak.

"Wh-What happened?" His voice came cracking, hoarse and echoing around the castle. "Hi-Hinata, Hanabi, Neji, where are they?" His balance slipped and was about to fall when Jiraiya held him.
