Naruto: A Killer Born

Chapter 2: Lightness Fades Into Darkness

"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars."

"Shit!" Kakashi stops controlling his chakra and lets himself fall underwater.

Kakashi swam towards his only female student. What's wrong with her why won't she swim back up. Is she unconscious?' Every thought that ran through his head, he grew more desperate to get to her.

Kakashi kicked his legs rapidly and pushed his arms determined to get the pinkette. Once he finally reaches her he slings her arm over his shoulder and swim back up to the surface.

"Naruto." The blonde looked more broken than he has ever seen him thus far.

"Why?" Kakashi almost didn't hear him, he didn't know what to say he related more to Sakura than to Naruto now.

"Why did she do it!?" Naruto's shoulders shake with each heart wrenching sob he released.

"Naruto I'm sure Sakura had her reasons for doing it... Just... Just don't jump to conclusions." Kakashi tried his hardest to cheer the broken blonde up and he hoped it was working.

"Naruto remember what Sasuke said. We'll honor those words." Kakashi lets it sink in before continuing. "We should go and give Sasuke a funeral, I'll seal his body." Kakashi makes a kage bunshin he instructs it to seal the body and retrieve Sasuke's teammate. The gray haired Jounin reposition his female student so it'll look more like he's giving her a piggy back ride.

Kakashi walks over to Naruto and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I can't promise you everything is going to be alright, but we, as team 7 will get passed this together." Naruto stands up to Kakashi's relief he wasn't going to have to carry Naruto too. Naruto stays quiet having his hair cover his eyes from everyone's view. Naruto walks back to the top of the demolished bridge with Kakashi following close behind.

"Let's go I want to get back to Konoha by tomorrow morning." The only reply he got back was silence. Kakashi sighed, he wasn't used to the silence.

"We'll make camp here and leave before sunrise." Kakashi set Sakura against the tree and starts setting up camp the clone gathers firewood and water while Naruto sits there looking depressed.

After a minute everything was set up and Kakashi was staring at Naruto. He thought about what he was going to do to help the both of them. They most likely had psychological problems like he did, maybe even shut their self's down from the people that's trying to help them.

Kakashi audibly sighed. "I'll take watch."

After another hour

Naruto finally passed out from exhaustion and stress. Kakashi didn't blame him.

Kakashi left his post to check up on Sakura she wasn't responding to anything he did. Which was taping her shaking her even lightly kicking.

"She's unconscious." Kakashi says aloud to himself.

"Don't worry, she's just fine. Give her time." Kakashi almost forgot about the red haired. Without looking at her he replied back.

"Yeah, I know."

Finally, after a long quiet trip they were finally back in Konoha. Kakashi took the still unconscious pinkette to the newly fixed hospital and him Naruto and Karin walked to also new Hokage tower was.

They heard that Tsunade was awake and the ninjas hoped that someone informed her about what's going on.
