The Leaf?

Way to Go!

I woke up briefly, but I still felt like the living dead.  "What's going on?" I asked the nurse in the room.

"The Hokage was found dead, so we are trying to determine if the patients are well enough to go say there farewells." she smiled sadly.

"So he didn't make it out of the fight alive." my voice came out choked, and I tried to sit up.

"Oh no, you can't you're to injured." she said in alarm, coming over to my said.

"Please I need to." I pleaded.

"I'll check with the doctor.  You'll probably have to go later, after the ceremony though." she explained.

"That's fine with me."  She nodded her head, and left the room.  She came back twenty minutes later, and told me that I could go in an hour, and that they would send two medical ninja to go with me.  I said okay, and drifted back to sleep. 

Sure enough an hour later two medical ninja came in, and asked if I needed to be carried.  I told them I didn’t', and the three of us made our way to his grave.

The first thing I noticed was all the white roses placed ontop his tomb.  There were still some people around mourning his death.  The only person I could think about was Konahamaru.  He must be so upset; the old man Hokage was his grandfather.  Tears came to my eyes, and I quickly made my way over to the old man’s grave.

I went on my knees, and bowed my head sending my prayers up to him.  I didn't know him very well, but he was always so nice to me, and I knew that Naruto thought of him as a grandfather too.  I mostly just wanted to thank him for letting me stay here, and apologize for not being able to do more for him.

I summoned the as much chakra as I could, and made it a rose.  I then placed it on top of the others.  The chakra rose shone, and it would protect the body from anything coming after it in death.  It was something we would do for our loved ones back at the Ayumi clan.

I stayed there for a few more minutes until sleep took over me, and I fell into a content sleep.

My eyelids slowly drifted open, and before I could even take in the room I heard someone yell my name.  Next thing I know the air is being crushed out of me, and all I can see is pink.

"Um, Sakura I can't breathe." I choked out.

"Oh, I'm so sorry I'm just really glad to see you awake." she mumbled, apologetically.

"What happened, and where am I?" I asked.

"You're at the hospital.  You passed out after Gaara left." Sasuke said, standing up and joining Sakura by my bed side.

"Oh, well I'm okay now, so no need to worry." I smiled, getting up out of the hospital bed.

"Ida the doctors said a few of your chakra points were damaged.  Because to much chakra was released at once.  You're just lucky you can heal fast, and they were able to fix them." Sakura scolded, pushing me back down on the bed.

"I'm fine, Sakura." I assured, sitting up again.

"How did you release to much chakra?" Sasuke asked.

"Um...Well...How do I put this? I sort've let Chikara filter her chakra through me.  And before you ask, yes I know that it hurts me, and they it severely drains me." I sighed, knowing they were going to yell at me.

"Then why did you do it!" Sakura demanded.

"I had to fight Kabuto, who I hate, and it was really hard to keep Chikara from over-powering me with all my emotions, and the already evil energy in the air." I defended.
