Chapter 77: Naruto's Battered Heart|Nia's Unfortunate Fate

As Nia fell to the ground, Naruto's eyes had began to return to their normal blue color. However, the sight of blood all around him had made him tremble all over.

"What the-" He looked at his hands as the blood covered over it and his shortened nails, "Where did-"

His eyes then landed on Nia as she had her hand on the wound inflicted on her all while laying in a pool of blood.

"Curly Brow!" He immediately went to her and sat her up by using his knee to keep her back against it, "Curly Brow, hey!"

Nia's eyes had turned dull. Her pupils had disappeared and the luster and shine in them were no longer there either.

Seeing as there were multiple stab wounds right above her abdomen and a deep long wound made to her arm had caused the genin to quickly assume the worst.

Could I have- No! I couldn't have! There's no way I could've done this much damage to her, ya know!

"Curly Brow!" He then patted the girl's cheeks, "Curly Brow, stop messing with me! Curly Brow!"

"Naruto!" The boy then turned to see his sensei right beside him.

"Kakashi-sensei..."

"Damn it!" Yamato also came running to the scene along with Jiraiya, "I hope it's not too late!"

"Kakashi-sensei, hurry! We need to take her to a medic quickly!" Naruto spoke quickly.

Jiraiya placed his two fingers on Nia's wrist then on her neck. In seconds, he looked down as his bangs covered over his eyes.

"Naruto..." He said with an ache in his voice, "Kid, I'm sorry, but... there's no... pulse."

In that moment, the genin's world collapsed—where there was light became shadows.

"What the hell are you talking about, Pervy Sage?!" The blonde immediate became upset as tears surfaced in his eyes, "There's no way she could be-"

"Naruto." Kakashi placed a hand on his student's shoulder as he tried to comfort him.

"Don't touch me!" Naruto brushed him off as his grief ate away at him.

What he once treasured was now a memory, a shadow lingering in the depths of his mind. A powerful feeling of helplessness and hopelessness stirred into his being as he rested his hand on Nia's cheek all while staring into the lifeless half-lidded orbs that no longer had any warmth in them.

"Curly Brow..." His voice cracked as he now understood he was the one that had caused her demise, "I told you... I told you to stay a-away from me."

The ninja's arms wrapped around her corpse as he brought her to his chest, "But... you didn't listen to me. Why didn't you listen to me?"

His entire world turned into a blur, and so did all the sounds. The taste. The smell. Everything was just gone. He paused trying to hold back the strange feelings rumbling inside him but he couldn't. A lone tear traced down his cheek, and just like that, the floodgates opened.
