Saving him (Naruto fan-fic)

Chapter 33- Progress

I do not own Naruto, only my OC's

I panted, my legs giving out on me. No clones surrounded me this time, since I have come to realize how much chakra this was using.

Sweat dripped down my face as I tried to catch my breath. 'This is almost useless. All of my other jutsu's weren't this hard to do....' My fist clenched, gathering green blades of grass and cool dirt. 'But, I can't give up. This is for Naruto, and Sasuke. I need to be strong enough to protect Naruto, and to save Sasuke.'

Peaking over, I saw Naruto cut the waterfall. A smile formed onto my face, "That's my Naruto." I murmmered.

Shaking, I stood up and tried again. The rasengan formed in my hand quickly. My eyes narrowed in concentration as I tried to slowly mix the crystal chakra with my Rasengan. My sight blurred for a moment before my jutsu faded.

"Damn it... I don't have enough chakra." I muttered, falling to my knees again.

"Yuki! Are you okay?" Kakashi asked, quickly appearing to my side.

"Just low on chakra." I panted.

He ruffled my hair, "Go rest then. I know you didn't sleep last night."

I blinked before looking guilty. "Yeah... I couldn't really sleep well, so I figured I should train." I glanced at the ground, remembering the nightmares that haunted me last night. Some memories, and some were things I didn't even want to think about again.

I glanced at Naruto, seeing him fall to his knees as well. I pointed to the blond, "Kakashi sensei, Naruto-kun needs you."

Kakashi sighed and helped me sit down. "You two..."

"Ramen..." Naruto muttered while Kakashi dragged him. "Need ramen..."

"Yeah, yeah, I heard you, at least try to walk a little. Yuki's walking." Kakashi sighed, pushing Naruto up a little.

My feet dragged along beside Naruto, glancing at him occasionally to make sure he was okay. His face was tired, although I'm sure after his fill of ramen he would be as hyper as ever. While Naruto listed off what he wanted in him ramen my mind drifted to my jutsu.

'I don't have enough chakra.... but-' My eyes widened for a moment the thought came to me. 'What if I went into Sage Mode. I'd be using natural chakra, so I probably wouldn't be as tired as I am now, since I can just take more natural chakra.'

"Come on, we're here." Kakashi said, breaking me from my thoughts. "Hello there!"

"Come on in!" Teuchi shouted.

Kakashi paused, "T-Thanks..."

After helping Kakashi sit Naruto down, I sat next to him. My eyes followed his head as it landed on the table. "Pops... Extra-large miso with pork and cutlets and the works.... on the double..." Naruto muttered out.

"Medium miso with pork." I muttered.

"And here's your menu!" Ayame shouted, shoving a menu in Naruto's and my face.

"I said extra-large miso with pork... Hurry..." Naruto said.

"Just look at the menu, please, Naruto, Yuki." Ayame said.
