Third person POV
Orochimaru cursed as his palm started to glow green of healing chakra before he started to order Kabuto on what to do. Kabuto nodded, wrapping the rope from around Orochimaru's waist around the top of Kuroki's chest to try and stop the blood flow before he started to supply Orochimaru with chakra so that he could just more chakra to heal Kuroki.
"Why would you help him?" Itachi asked.
"I owe Kuroki one, he showed me the truth that I thought to be right was actually a lie, though I can't look at my sensei or my teammates again. I know that sensei cares for this boy so I will do all I can to save him," Orochimaru explained.
"We will only be able to stabilize him after that you will have to get Kuroki to Konoha, the blade has cut an artery as well as pierced a lung. Tsunade will be the only one able to fix this damage, if it is done wrong it could make Kuroki stop breathing and damage his brain or destroy his chakra paths since the arteries and close to the chakra paths" Kabuto told them.
"How long will it take to stabilize him?" Minato questioned.
"I am working on it, but it could be up to five hours so I suggest some of you go ahead and explain what is going on while I work" Orochimaru ordered.
"I will go with Rin and we will explain everything, I am sure having Rin there will help" Konan said, making Nagato and Yahiko look at her ready to protest.
"We owe Kuroki so much, if this is what I can do to help then so be it" Konan glared and the two boys nodded knowing that they wouldn't be able to argue with her.
"I will go with you," Obito said.
"And me as well, we should hurry, this is a story that is going to take a while to explain" Kushina decided.
"No, I'll go" Minato said and Kushina looked at him blinking.
"You can all stay here but I can use my flash technique to get there and back in no time. We don't need to get Kuroki to the leaf village, I will just bring Tsunade here" Minato explained.
"You will need to get medication and hospital supplies," Kabuto piped up.
"Hime will know what to bring if you explain the injuries" Orochimaru said and Minato nodded before kissing Kushina's head. He then headed to the marks that he had left around when he was alive before finally he got to the one in the hokage's office.

"Who are you?.....Minato impossible" Sarutobi gasped as he and Tsunade had been speaking.
"It is really me Lord third I know it is hard to believe but Kuroki Uzumaki made a deal with the shinigami to bring Kushina, Yahiko, Rin and I back to life but right now I don't have time to go through this Lady Tsunade. I need you to grab hospital supplies and come with me" Minato said.
"We don't even know if what you said is true," Tsunade pointed out and Minato nodded.
"I know but right now we don't have time, you can bring any ninja you want I don't care but right now Kuroki needs your help. He is on death's door, Orochimaru is trying to stabilize him but he needs your help, his left lung has been punctured and his arteries have been cut. Orochimaru said that if we aren't careful brain damage can happen or the chakra paths can be destroyed" Minato explained.
"Anubu go and get Jiraiya, Inoichi, Shikaku, Shikamaru, Kakashi and Asuma," Tsunade ordered and instantly the ANUBU disappeared before the people mentioned appeared minutes later and Minato winced a little at the young Nara. Shikamaru had seen better days, his skin was pale, dark bags under his eyes, looked to have lost five kilos and his hair was messy.
"You called Hokage-sama" Shikaku bowed, looking at his son, worried.
"Sensei" Kakashi whispered, his visible eye wide in shock.
"Shizune, collect the supplies that I will need, you will be coming along with me and this person. He says he is Minato and that Kuroki brought him back to life" Tsunade explained.
"Do you know where he is? Please where is Kuroki?" Shikamaru pleaded and Minato remembered that Kuroki had mentioned giving a letter to Shikamaru Nara if he didn't survive.
"He is fine....Well not fine at the moment, Orochimaru is trying to save his life so we have to hurry" Minato urged and Shikamaru choked a little.
"Why....Why did he leave?" Shikamaru whispered, looking for answers.
"I can't tell you the answer because I don't know it but I do know that he is injured because he stopped a war in the making by taking on the Akatsueki by himself" Minato said and the older ninja froze in shock.
"He did what?" Jiraiya demanded.
"He took on the Akatsueki because he didn't want to lose anyone and he didn't want a war to start either" Minato explained and they were all shocked. Here they thought that Kuroki leaving was selfish and stupid but it turns out that he had left all for them, he didn't even give a second thought to racing off to protect them from a growing danger.
"That baka," Shikaku whispered.
"That gaki, always trying to take everything on himself, Minato take us to him right now" Tsunade ordered as Shizune got back and they all grabbed part of Minato's cloak.
"This is going to take a few jumps with so many people, " Minato warned and they nodded as he used his thunder god technique.

When they got to the valley they saw the others in a panic while Orochimaru was screaming orders to Kabuto and pressing his hands down trying to stop the blood flow.
"Get out of the way," Tsunade yelled, racing over to Kuroki. Shikamaru's legs gave out making Asuma and Shikaku hold him up but they both looked pained and pale.
"Tell me what you have done and what is going on" Tsunade ordered and Orochimaru told her the treatments and about how the wound had just started bleeding again about ten minutes before they came.
"Shizune, get an IV for blood hooked up as well as pain killers, Orochimaru, get me a sterile place to operate, you silver haired gaki, get ready with towels to soak up the blood" Tsunade continued to order in her element. The others just stood back and out of the way, most looking ill and ready to be sick with the amount of blood that Kuroki was losing.
"Damnit, his pulse is weakening, Kakashi, get over here" Tsunade yelled and the silver haired jounin walked forward.
"I need you to use lightning chakra to get his heart going again. It will leave a scar but it is the only thing that we can do right now," Tsunade said and Kakashi nodded, focusing on just jump starting Kuroki's heart and not hurting him.
"It didn't work again" Tsunade growled but before Kakashi could his hand was stopped.

"Get out of the way I will deal with this" a voice said and they turned to see Gaara standing there along with Naruto, Killer B and Yugito.
"On the count of three get ready" Naruto said as they placed their hands on Kuroki.
"Now" Killer Bee said and different coloured chakra seeped out of them and into Kuroki's body.
"What are they doing?" Shikamaru demanded, looking at them and Kuroki.
"We are putting chakra from the tailed beasts into him, Naruto overheard your conversation and jumped to me then to the others," Gaara explained and they looked at Naruto.
"Kuroki has done so much for all of us including bringing back my parents for me, if a little chakra is all we have to give then so be it" Naruto grinned.
"He is important not only to us but to every one of the villages, we have just started to bring peace to the villages if something happens to him then everything will be destroyed" Yugito said.
"What do you mean?" Tsunade asked while monitoring Kuroki.
"You must not have got yours yet, Kuroki sent scrolls to each kage begging and asking for people to form a bond between the villages. It told us that he wished to tell us in person but he probably wouldn't get the chance" Gaara sighed, his siblings had been foaming from the mouth in anger not that he was any better.
"Big bro destroyed the raikage tower when he read that and demanded we would find Kuroki and if he was injured or dead to bring back the one that did it so that they could suffer as Kuroki did, so who hurt him?" Killer Bee growled his eyes sharp and angry.
"Kuroki already sealed him away so he wouldn't bring anymore trouble to us, he is stable" Tsunade sighed in relief and the tailed beasts pulled back.
"We will tell A about what happened but we should get going before he panics after seeing us gone" Yugito said and they nodded as she and Killer Bee left.
"I will help you get Kuroki back to the village," Gaara announced as his sand moved and cradled Kuroki gently.
"Please be okay Kuroki" Shikamaru whispered.
"It will be fine, Kuroki is strong, he was like this once before, remember, though at that time it was because of me he will pull through, believe that," Gaara comforted and extended the sand to hold Shikamaru as well.
