A Ninja's Final Stand (Final Book of A Ninja's Worth)

Chapter 7: What the hell is happening?!

Naruto let go of my hand and leapt over to Sasuke. He nodded off to me as in a flash I started charging chakra. There are too many injured soldiers to heal individually. But I taught myself a special, forbidden jutsu just for that.

Finally, just enough chakra for it. Naruto takes in a small breath as I shout out the words, "Forbidden Technique: Rebirthing Jutsu!!"

Every person that I can connect with has a glowing green emanating from their bodies. If only I had done this before anything, then Neji would still be..

Everyone's glow falters when my emotions do. No! I have to focus. Naruto gives me a reassuring glance and heads off against Madara and the masked man. I'm not really sure why this jutsu is forbidden. It's not doing much harm, only good. I'm glad I feel this way.

The large gash in my back starts to profusely bleed. I fall to my knees, helpless under the torturing burning feeling across my whole back side. But I keep my emotions calm, I can't stop healing everyone. They need me. This is probably why it's forbidden, it causes pain to the user.

I'm losing so much blood that dark blotches are clouding my vision. My hands clench into fists as I lay, abdomen raised, forehead resting on the ground, almost as if I was begging for forgiveness. The pain is growing worse but as long as my emotions don't waver. It's too late for that, my emotions are already swaying into agony. But somehow, my will forces myself to keep healing.

The torture seems to slowly creep into the front of my body, my chest starts to feel the extent of this jutsu. I let out a scream. This pain is worse than giving birth.

It feels like I'm on fire. Please someone put me out. I scream even louder but keep healing everyone, I can't stop. I won't. It's like it's suffocating me, drowning my lungs.

But I can still hear conversation. Maybe this isn't the effect of the jutsu. Yeah sure the bleeding, but not this immense pain. I'm supposed to bleed, not die. "Well how about it Naruto?" I hear the familiar masked man say. "Are you just going to let your wife die?!!!"

I can't help but scream reflexively, the pain is getting worse. What kind of jutsu is this??!! "And you, Sasuke? Are you going to watch her perish while she still heals your army and you? Your only sister, you want to watch her die, then so be it."

There's a jolt in me. Then it's even worse, as if it feels like it could. I feel like I'm about explode. The pain is starting to touch everywhere else in my body. My fingertips, my arms, legs, everywhere. I can't help but scream as loud as possible. The only way to show my suffering. Someone help me!!! I want to yell that so bad, but I have to think of Naruto. It must be hard enough watching me sit here screaming in horrific agony.

My throat burns so bad from crying out this much. Blood starts to rise in my throat, I hack it out into my hand.

Then there's the breaking sound. I freeze, pant harshly, and lay still for a moment. The pain's over, it's all gone. Still breathless, I rest on my knees and look over to see Naruto had destroyed his mask. Kakashi rushes over to see if I'm alright. "Are you okay?" He says.

I just give a small nod. Both of us look at Naruto and the not-so-masked-anymore man. Kakashi gasps and his eyes open wide with recognition and fear. "Obito...."

"What?"

He points a shaky finger as 'Obito' looks at him. "Obito Uchiha."

That's a name both me and Sasuke recognize. The fallen ninja from around Kakashi's younger time. A hero is what he was known as.

My lungs are sore, my body aches, and my back is still blazing. I can see everyone is fine enough for me to stop the healing process. My body is so weak, maternity leave my ass. I'm so shaky, I need to lie down. But I do the opposite, I rise to my feet, clutching my wounded left arm, staggering to Naruto and Sasuke. "Obito, why?" I can hear Kakashi ask, still in shock.

"You let Rin die." Kakashi gasps loudly.

I stagger over to Naruto ad Sasuke. Naruto's eyes are tortured and saddened. I grip my side, hoping it will keep me on my feet. "Sanako!" Naruto yells at me, for the first time ever. "You can't be here! Go back to the village with our children and Sakura-chan!"

I glare angrily. "No! Send that idea to hell!"

"If anyone should die, it should be me! I'm their father! It's my right Sanako!"

Almost as if this is some sort of flashback, my throat gets caught for a moment before I fire back with, "I'm their mother! It's my right too!"

He closes his eyes, defeated, once again, by the same words. "You killed Rin with your own hands Kakashi! Yet you're asking me why?!" Obito's voice breaks, almost as if he's brokenhearted. "You killed the love of my life you bastard! You failed to protect her! You broke your promise you scum of the earth!!!!"

Kakashi killed his own teammate? I don't believe it, but he can explain himself after this whole thing is over. "Do you think your love would've wanted this?!" I scream.

Obito almost spit back until a voice that chimes like a bell breaks through. "It's you..." A woman with short brown hair and purple patches on her cheeks stood next to Kakashi. "Obito..."

I'm so confused at this point when Obito whispers softly, "R-Rin..."
