"I have a son named Naruto?" Kushina asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Mikoto's fist clenched, don't hit her. Don't hit her. Don't. Mikoto willed herself to calm down. "I don't have time for you." Mikoto growled out coldly, before letting herself into the house. She kicked off her pumps and sprinted up the stairs, the rest of the Uchiha family following suit. Mikoto stopped at the top of the stairs unsure where to go. Itachi squeezed himself through and led the way to Naruto's room. He knocked on the door. "Naruto?" Itachi called out. No response. He tried turning the doorknob, locked. The Namikaze children had heard the commotion downstairs and came running towards the noises to see the Uchihas running up the steps and Itachi twisting at the doorknob. "It's no use, Naruto wouldn't open the door. He hadn't left the room since the day before." Menma said, almost upset.
"Are you sure he's in there?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah, we brought food to him, he ate a little this morning but didn't finish anything." Ahri said, worry lacing her voice. She had seen Naruto crying that other day and it was absolutely gut-wrenching but Naruto refused to talk to her about it. They all tried but Naruto had told them that he was fine and to leave him alone. "Please Naruto. I am so sorry. Please." Itachi cried out, knocking his fist on the door. "Move." Mikoto instructed and with a practiced and precise front kick. Since when does mum know how to do that?  Mikoto turned slightly to give Fugaku a smirk and knocked their fists together, they may be old but they still get their skills.
Itachi was the first one in and he almost screamed. There was blood pooling all around Naruto who had bloodied arms and the phone slack in his hand. He dropped next to Naruto, not caring about the blood. He cried, gathering Naruto in his arms. Fugaku was shocked, he stumbled back a step. Naruto... Naruto did not just. No please no. This is a dream. This has to be a sick dream. Sasuke had ran back out, not being able to handle it. "What is it?" Kaguya demanded. Fugaku and Mikoto snapped out of their shock, the children need them. Fugaku blocked their way and backed them out of the room, asking them to wait and that it was important to both Naruto and all of them that they do as they are told. The Namikaze children, sensing the severity of the situation, did not protest or push to get in. Instead, they went to Sasuke to console him. The boy was on the ground crying and shaking and muttering to himself. Minato and Kushina wanted to go in to see what was going on but Fugaku pushed them out. "You have done enough damage for now." He said, glaring at the couple with his arms crossed.

Mikoto fumbled for a pulse on the blond's neck, weak but that means they still have time. "Snap out of it, Itachi. Naruto is still alive. We have to stop the bleeding." Mikoto said but Itachi was in his own little world, too traumatized to respond.  She then gave him a light slap across the face and went to look for something she could tear. She took clothes out of the wardrobe, noticing how little there were and making a mental note that she was going to have to get him some better clothing to keep him warmer. She ripped the fabrics as she made her way back to Naruto and Itachi. Itachi had regained some composure that he was attempting to wake the blond. "He has lost too much blood Itachi." Mikoto muttered as she tied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, she knows this is the last resort but Naruto has already lost too much blood and applying pressure may be an even longer wait for the bleeding to stop. She thanked whoever that was listening that she had decided to take courses for this kind of situation where it requires a qualified person to handle the issue. I think I am qualified enough, I mean, I did pass at the top of the class so...

"Hospital. Now." Mikoto ordered. Itachi gathered the blond in his arms and out the door he goes. All everyone outside the room saw was a black blur flashing past. Mikoto was about to follow suit when something caught her eye. A note on the bed. She swiped up the note and quickly folded it into her bag and followed Itachi. "Hospital. Sasuke." Fugaku grunted as he understood and watched his wife leap down the flight of stairs. She is awfully athletic and reckless in her movements today, she could've hurt herself with that leap. Fugaku sighed as he shut the room door to stop them from seeing all the blood and heard the car drive away and he turned to Sasuke. "Come on Sasuke, Naruto is still alive. " Fugaku said, adding a soft 'i think' to himself. "They are going to the hospital right now."
"I can't live without him, dad." Sasuke muttered.
"I know. So you better get yourself together because Naruto needs you right now." Fugaku said, shaking his son. "Sunshine has always been there for you. He needs you there for him right now." Sunshine was their nickname for Naruto and the blond had seemed to like it. "You guys are the sun and the moon, you need each other. So get your shit together and let's go." Fugaku grounded out, he wanted to see if Naruto was okay.
"You kiddos wanna come along?" Fugaku asked as Sasuke picked himself up from the ground. The three siblings immediately nodded. "I'll go get my car keys, aunt Mikoto already drove off." Menma said as he turned on his heels and sprinted to his room to get the set of keys. Ahri and Kaguya went to get some of their belongings to head out. "You two have a choice, you either reflect on what you have done and pray hard that Naruto forgives you for all this negligence towards him or you can fucking stay here and never ever involve yourself in his life ever again." Fugaku growled lowly before turning swiftly to join the rest that are waiting for him in the car.
