"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such method is love."

The siblings along with the Uchiha watched with hard eyes as the blond was being carried on the ambulance stretcher. 

"That bastard will have hell to pay for." Temari gritted.

'Worse than hell.' Sasuke thought.

Three figures could be seen at the waiting hall in the hospital where the ambulance had brought Naruto. He was in a surgery for internal bleeding. He had been there for an hour by now. The Uchiha had to go to a meeting for a few hours, so the Sabaku's were the only ones in the hall. 

"Sis, did ya call aunt Kushina ?" Kankuro required his blonde sister who crunched her eyebrows in distaste. She truly loved their aunt, but the reactions she'd get would be like someone had released a typhoon in a porcelain shop. A disaster. 

"No, not yet." Kankuro sighed.

"You should, he's their son even if they haven't seen in months." He muttered and Gaara nodded absentmindedly. Temari glanced at the doors of the surgery room and then the clock and sighed. 

"Yeah, it's just.." Gaara interrupted her answer. "She's crazy, and this'll bring a catastrophe upon us because I failed at protecting her son." He mono toned and his siblings sighed sadly at their little brother.

"Oh, Gaara." Temari tried. Gaara just brought a phone in front of her face as if to tell her to call their aunt. Temari complied but glared at the red head.

"Never say that it was your fault. It was that bastard's, I'll tell you. Never blame yourself you doughnut." Gaara's eyes widened at the childhood nickname that their little cousin had invented. Gaara inwardly blushed and stayed silent as their sister talked to the fiery Uzumaki.

"Hi, aunt Kushina." A pause, murmuring heard from the phone. "Yeah, it's me, look, aunt." Another murmur from the phone. Temari sighed. "Aunt Kushina, listen to me." A short murmur from the phone and Temari continued. "Your son, Naruto is in the hospital." 

"What ?!" Could be heard from Naruto's mother, and the Sabaku siblings winced at the tone. 

"I'll tell you everything once you come here..."

Sasuke panted once he reached his destination. The hospital. He didn't know why his legs walked, well ran themselves in here, it's not like he knew the blond that well. 

He sighed in agitation and loosened his black tie. The nurses gladly showed him where the now surgery-released blond's room was. The women swooned as Sasuke monotonously thanked them.

He knocked on the door, and waited for a minute 'till the door opened to show the oldest male Sabaku, Kankuro greeting him with a relieved face. Sasuke's shoulders lost their stiffness and something from the top of his heart topped off.

"Ah, Uchiha-san, you're here." Temari's voice rang loudly from the now silent hospital room. He nodded, and the only sound in the room was the beeping sound coming from the several machines hooked on the still blond.

Sasuke noticed two other figures excluding the tree Sabaku's. A blond man similar to the one sleeping on the bed, only older and more sturdier looking. A red headed woman with violet eyes the same shape as Naruto's. 'They must be his parents, from the looks of it.' Sasuke concluded quickly and introduced himself.
