Holy Crap I'm Sasuke!

Boom

I panted and slumped against a wall, exhausted. Kabuto and Kimmimaro were the only ones left.

I held up my left hand in the ram sign and grinned, "Time to test out my new explosive tag and a bunch of regular ones."

I activated the charges, and even from dozens of yards away behind building the explosion was deafening. The shockwave shook the ground, I had to clench my ears with my hands from the sound the blast made, and i slumped down lower.

I was more tired than I shouldve been, the curse marks power had ran out and I was bleeding internally from Kabuto's chakra scalpel.

"Finally, you've lost..."

I looked over to see Kabuto and Kimmimaro standing ag the entrance of the alley.

Kabuto looked a bit singed and ragged from our fight but Kimmimaro had his left arm and most of the skin on he left side and face burned off.

"Heh, you guys look like shit..." I told them. I braced my arm against the wall and pushed myself up painfully, my body protesting every movement. "You two wanna fight? Fine, let's-," kabuto flashed forward and punched me in my already cracked ribs with insane force.

Without the sharingan or my curse mark he was much too strong for me alone.

I sank to my knees, cradling my ribs. "You Canadian hooker... you're gonna pay for that... wait til I tell my dad what uou- oh wait my brother killed him... shit." I chuckled, spitting up a bit of blood.

Kabuto raised his fist angrily, "You never stop talking, do you?"

"Gotta sleep sometime..." I told him, actually I wanted to sleep then and there but that was probably the chakra exhaustion and concussion talking to each other... maybe flirting, I dunno.

Then he grunted and fixed his eyes too my left. "Kimmimaro we must leave, we will catch this Caterpillar another day."

"Okay, I'm too exhausted to bother turning my head, I could go for a play by play right about now." I complained.

Kakashi stepped closer, looking pretty beat himself but his sharingan took the shape of a spinning shuriken, had awakened his mangekyo.... neat.

"Get your hands off my student." Kakashi told them calmly.

The two remaining sound ninja vanished and Kakashi put my arm over his shoulders to help me walk.

"How the hell did you find me?" I asked, my breathing started to get labored and I was sweating. Why the hell am I in so much pain?

Kakashi glanced at me with his normal eye,"Honestly, I saw the explosion and thought to myself... who could that be?"

I laughed, or well... tried to. Probably sounded like a gross wet scoff.

Finally we made it to the Hokage tower. Hiruzen stood at the top of the building with his Ape summon holding down Orochimaru.

Not quite what I expected, but change is welcome. I guess having Kakashi evened the odds with the old man.

Hiruzen stood there with torn clothing, bleeding from several small wounds. He faced us, the entire village had gathered here and it was eerily quiet. "Today the Hidden Leaf has been attacked, but nothing will break us! No one can take our Will of Fire!" He took a tanto from an anbu and leveled it at Orochimaru, "Today you've made a grave mistake, my mislead student... but as your teacher it's high time I righted things with you."

And with that he stabbed the tanto into the snake ninja's chest.

Then I blacked out.

When my eyes opened I found myself in another hospital room. Thank God, the other was missing most of a wall and it's kinda chilly.

"Sasuke?" I looked to my right. Naruto was sitting in a chair, leaning back and propping his foot up on my bed. Cheeky fuck that he is. "You've been asleep for a few days. You feeling better?"

I looked down at the tubes connected to my left arm.

The tube ran over to another cot with a woman in it. I couldnt see her face but her breathing was slow and gentle... sleeping. Almost hypnotic.

"Sasuke, you nearly died. They did surgery on you for hours. You need a blood transfusion just to have a chance to make it. Sakura has been frantic. She yelled at a doctor and made two nurses cry. It was kinda funny, you know minus you bleeding out internally." Naruto crossed his arms. "You were busted up, man..."

"Can't have been that bad?" I replied, trying to sit up. Pain reared its fugly head and I gasped, falling back into bed.

He chuckled, "Wouldnt do that. You had three broken ribs, a cracked femur, several cracked or splint bones, and your organs, veins, and nerves looked like someone was stabbing them with a knife that didnt damage the outside of your skin."

"Wow..." I stated, "You almost sounded smart saying all that. You nearly fooled me."

I looked over at the woman, just watching her breathe. I dont know why, but it was kind of peaceful.

Then I saw a bit of pink hair sticking out from under her pillow, and realized who I was staring at.

"Fuck..."
