"Where are we?", Naruto asks his frog companions.

"Whats going on Ma? I thought you summoned us at the Leaf Village?"

"We are at Hidden Leaf Village."

Naruto's expression of confusion turned into shock when he heard that statement.

I hope you're alright Hanako-chan.

He shakes his head, reassuring himself that Hanako is safe and sound. The blonde tries not to worry about the girl too much and focus on his mission.

Hanako-chan wouldn't like it if I screw this up because I was thinking about her too much.

The boy frowns in anger when he realized who did this, and he will make sure that Pain will pay for what he did to his master and his village.

The fog finally cleared up. Hanako tried to stand up but it she couldn't. She lays down in exhaustion, frowning that she can't do anything.

"Hanako-chan!", a voice shouted, the Shinozaki whips her head to look at the direction where that voice came from.

"Sakura-chan!", she cries out, "Can you help me stand up?"

"Of course, let me help you.", Sakura immediately heals Hanako's injuries as much as she can.

"That's enough, I can stand now. Save your chakra for those who truly need it, okay?", Hanako tells her, the pink-haired girl nodded in response.

"That's... Naruto!", a person exclaimed.

"Naruto?!", Sakura says in disbelief, she looks at her friend, seeking for her reaction.

"I felt his chakra when I opened my eyes earlier, it is him."

Naruto, please be safe.

Suddenly, a large frog came jumping down towards their area, holding a certain blonde Hokage.

"Tsunade-sama!", Hanako quickly ran to her, wincing at the pain of moving.

Tsunade looked tired and beat, which made her two pupils frown. The frog sat her down carefully.

"Sakura, Hanako. Everything is okay now.", Tsunade managed to say. Hanako tears up,  looking away from the sight.

She must've done everything she can to protect everyone.

Sakura held both of Tsunade's hands while saying, "Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

Hanako's mind was clouded with anxious thoughts. Violence was rampant in her life when she left her clan but it was never this big. She was getting overwhelmed with the mixed emotions ghat she was feeling. She held on to her necklace, which was luckily still attached after the massive blow that took place.

Suddenly, her body began to sweat, goosebumps were all over, and the waves that she was feeling earlier came back.

"Leave her alone!"

Naruto!

"I have to go.", Hanako announces and quickly runs to the battlefield before Sakura could grab ahold of her.
