Kabuto walked to them, insulting Tsunade as he aimed a punch at her, but before it hit, Naruto stood in front of Kabuto's fist connecting with the metal of his leaf protector. Naruto looked over at Sora who was struggling to breathe seeing the pain and frustration in her eyes, but deep down he could still see the fear. 

"enough already you jerk. How dare you treat Sora like that, she isn't going anywhere with you," Naruto growled.

He didn't know what they were talking about or why they wanted her all he knew was she didn't like that and he would protect her and everyone else there. Sora looked back at Naruto why did he always do this, protect others with everything he had, watching him made Sora want to be like that, it was what she was striving for. 

He began creating the Rasengan in his hand aiming at Kabuto. Sora watched shocked he did it, However, Kabuto dodged hitting Naruto's leg severing his muscles and making him fall to the ground. Kabuto walked towards him and began beating him. Sora tried to get up but fell to the ground still not able to catch her breath, all she could do was watch. Kabuto went to kick him again only for Naruto to grab his foot pushing him back. He got back to his feet.

"I will always stick by my words. That's my ninja way," Naruto declared. 

Sora watched him as he refused to give up, he was one of the reasons she chose to keep fighting, his fight with Neji was the main one, he was so adamant you made your destiny, that you could do anything you put your mind to. He had won a battle everyone believed was impossible for him. It had made Sora want to fight which only became stronger after she realised the only way she could stop the people she cared about getting hurt was with her own hands. 

Kabuto hit Naruto sending him flying. 

"Naruto," Sora said though it was barely audible as she was still unable to breathe properly.

"Why," Tsunade said as Naruto struggled to his feet. 

"Old lady Tsunade. I will win that unlucky necklace from you," Naruto said forming a hand sign. 

A shadow clone appeared next to him as Kabuto pulled out a kunai Tsunade begged for him to get out of the way but Naruto only smiled as th kunai cut through his hand. Naruto had taken hold of Kabuto's hand.

"I will not die until I become Hokage," He declared. 

Sora looked at him shocked, believing his words. Naruto held firmly onto Kabuto's hand stopping him from jumping away as Naruto began to creature the Rasengan in his free hand using his clone. It connected with Kabuto's gut and Sora looked at him shocked, he had perfected it. Kabuto yelled out in pain as Naruto kept holding him there. He eventually let go and Kabuto went flying. He hit a rock smashing into it and breaking it. There was a huge rip in his shirt as blood dripped onto the ground. 

Sora looked over to Naruto who was panting having taken quite a bit out of him. Naruto stood there as Kabuto steadied himself. Kabuto simply smiled and a sick feeling came to Sora's stomach as Naruto coughed up blood. Sora leapt forward catching Naruto as he fell. She looked at him struggling to breathe even more as panic filled her. Tsunade ran up to them as well. Sora was shaking holding Naruto in her arms. Her head shot up to Kabuto rage filling them.

"You, what did you do? How the hell are you even still standing?" Sora snapped before she began uncontrollably coughing. 

She tried to take deep breaths but struggled her hatred growing with every passing second. But she had to stay calm.

"I gathered chakra in my stomach. Before the Jutsu hit I had already started healing myself," He said as he started slowly walking towards them.

Sora's eyes narrowed as she slowly began to build up chakra but as he got closed he suddenly stopped collapsing to the ground. Sora's attention moved back to Naruto as his hand twitched and Tsunade pressed her ear against his chest listening to his heart. After a few seconds, her eyes widened in panic. She unzipped his jacket as she placed her hand there.
