Chapter 23: Rasengan!

(Y/n) and Naruto panted as they shook on the ground. "It's no use, Naruto... We only have one more day... At this rate, we'll only pass out..." she said between breaths. "We can't give up! There's no way I'm letting that old lady make fun off the name of Hokage!" the boy shakily stood up from the ground, his hand held out in front of him. "Naruto... If you keep this up your gonna..." she began to say until her brother began to gather chakra in his palm. "HAAAAH!!" he yelled as the wind began to pick up around him, dust and pieces of wood flew around. She watched as he ran towards the tree, his right palm holding the rotating sphere. "HAH!" he smashed the ball into the base of the tree. A large gust of wind pushed the blonde the ground, his eyes only half open. "It's impossible... we can't... do it..." his eyes slowly closed as he trailed off. "N-Naruto!..." (Y/n) shakily stumbled to her older brother. "C-Come on...!" she placed her hands on his chest, not being able to release any chakra. "Damn it, (Y/n)! Stop being so useless!!" the girl's hands flickered in lavender chakra. She watched as her brother's breathing became steady as color began to go back to his features. "Come on..." her eyes began to close. "Don't...be... useless..." (Y/n) blacked out, falling next to her brother.

"N-Naruto... (Y/n)...!"

"There's no point Naruto... I haven't been able to make even the smallest of spheres in my palm... There is no way I'll be able to master the jutsu..." "Oh come on! I know you can do it! Remember how you were able to make the rubber ball explode? That's proof that you can do this!" "Naru... We've been at it for a week... this is the last day before we show Tsunade-sama and I've made no progress..." "(Y/n)... Let's try doing it at the same time! Maybe like that, we'll both be able to master the jutsu!" "I don't think that'll wo-" "Of course it will! Now come on!" "Ok... "Concentrate... Concentrate....!" "HAAAAH/KYAAA" "..." "(Y-y/n)!! You did it!" "But why is it-?"

The girl's eyes fluttered open, a strong light hitting her eyes as her head throbbed in the slightest pain. She turned her head when she felt shifting beside her. "(Y/n)...?" Naruto yawned as he scratched his head. "What happened?..." his puffy eyes stared back at hers. "I... don't know..." she responded in a sleepy voice. Her polychromatic eyes were caught by a small movement on the floor. It was a body. She knew that short, ebony hair anywhere.

"S-Shizune!" she cried out.

The two twins stumbled out of the bed and up to the woman. She was passed out cold on the floor. "Hey, lady! Wake up!" Naruto shook the older woman, her eyes slowly opened.

"Naruto? (Y/n)?" Shizune mumbled as she began to regain her senses. "What day is it!?" she bolted up from the floor. "Monday?" (Y/n) looked over at the blonde in conformation, only receiving a nod. "But you two were supposed to be out for at least two days..." she said. "No matter how big the wound..." the girl said. "We are always able to recover if we sleep, even if it's just for a night!" her brother finished off.

'That's right... They both have the Nine-Tailed Fox's power...' the lady looked at the two in awe.

"Now more importantly... Where is that dumb old woman?! Today is the promised bet day!" Naruto roared with determination. "But what about the jutsu?" Shizune looked at the two. "It's not completed..." Naruto mumbled. "But we can wing it, dattebayo/dattebane!" the twins yelled in sync, earning a small chuckle from her. As she laughed, Shizune flinched in pain, her right hand clutched her stomach. "What's wrong?" (Y/n) asked with worry in her eyes. "I-It's nothing!" she said as she back away from the two genins. "You're lying..." the girl was about to open her kimono styled dress until she ran to the window. "Y-You two just stay here!" Shizune quickly opened the window, ready to jump out, but only to be stopped by a kunai flying only millimeters away from her face. Two twins ran up to the window and looked to the side, seeing Jiraiya heavily panting and sweating as he struggled to stand. "Wait... Shizune!"
