Chapter Eleven – The Big Battle

Two days had passed since Naruto, Gaara, the Hokage, Jiraiya and Kakashi had made their plan to kill Orochimaru. It was just a couple minutes before noon now and both Naruto and Gaara were standing inside the blond's apartment, near the door. Both were nervous about the upcoming meeting with the snake sannin, but only the blond was showing it.

“Um, Gaara, I want you to know that I really care about you and don't get yourself killed. Okay?” Naruto looked at the red head with concern in his eyes.

Gaara sighed in exasperation. “You said that five minutes ago, Naruto. As a matter of fact, you've said it several times today already. Stop worrying so much. Neither of us are going to die.”

Naruto smiled nervously at his friend. “Yeah, you're right. Sorry.”

Gaara walked to the door and put his hand on the knob. “It's time to go.”

Naruto took a deep breath, then followed the red haired Sand nin out the door. He shut the door behind him, this time remembering to lock it.

Gaara and Naruto walked away from the apartment building and headed down the street in the direction of the main gate of the village. Neither could detect that their partners, in the upcoming battle, were following along, not too far behind them.

Unknown to anyone, Sasuke had seen Gaara and Naruto pass close by him. He noticed that Naruto looked a little nervous, even if the blond was trying to hide it. Wanting to know what the other two were up to, Sasuke walked into the nearest side street, which turned out to be deserted. He quickly performed a henge to make himself look like a cat, then he made his chakra appear to be as low as a small animal's. He had learned this from training with Kakashi. Now looking like a normal stray cat, he followed the other two boys discreetly at a distance.

Gaara and Naruto casually walked out of the village. Naruto waved at the chuunin guard that was standing right outside the gate. He kept a smile on his face, trying to appear normal. Oh my god, we're actually going to do this. Gaara looks so calm. I need to calm down my own nerves. I don't want Orochimaru to be suspicious. Naruto forced his muscles to relax and started whistling, hoping that would help.

I hope Naruto will calm down soon. I can feel his tension. Gaara slowed down until he was walking beside Naruto. He looked over at the blond and smiled at him.

Naruto noticed the smile and smiled back. Gaara is trying to tell me everything will be okay.

After the boys had traveled almost two miles outside the village, they came to a stop when they heard a voice.

“Hello again, Naruto-kun and Gaara-kun.” Kabuto stepped out from behind a tree into their path. He smiled at both boys.

Acting normal, Naruto spoke. “Oh, hello Kabuto! What are you doing out here?”

Kabuto smirked at the blond and pushed his glasses up higher on the bridge of his nose. “I came here to collect something.”

Where is Orochimaru? If only Kabuto is here, we're in big trouble! Naruto gave a friendly smile to the white haired teen. “Out here? What are you collecting?”

“You.”

Naruto acted surprised. “What do you mean?” He laughed. “Is this a joke or something?”

Kabuto smirked at the blond again. “No, this isn't a joke, Naruto-kun. I would like you to come with me.”

“I don't understand. Come with you where?” Damn! I was told not to go off with anyone. What are we going to do now? Naruto enhanced his eyesight and casually looked around, trying not to act suspicious.

Kabuto started walking towards Naruto. “Don't be so nervous, Naruto-kun. Your friend Gaara will accompany us, if that makes you feel any better.”

Gaara didn't speak and had a bored look on his face. Is Orochimaru even around? I will kill Kabuto if he tries to harm Naruto.

Behind Naruto and Gaara, Sasuke, still in disguise as a cat, was listening to everything. He knew Kabuto was up to no good. He was ready to dispel his henge if the white haired teen looked like he was about to hurt Naruto.

The Hokage, Jiraiya and Kakashi were still hidden and waiting for Orochimaru to show himself. All three were worried that it wouldn't happen.

“Kabuto, lets just stop playing around, okay? I already know you are working for Orochimaru.” Naruto had found where Orochimaru was hiding. He kept his senses trained on the man, but had already deactivated his enhanced sight and was now looking at the white haired spy.

Kabuto frowned at the blond. He was surprised that Naruto knew the truth. But then again, I shouldn't be so surprised. I didn't really believe Gaara would betray his only friend. But he's going to pay for that loyalty soon. “So you know who you are going to be taken to. It doesn't matter though. You will be coming with me anyway.”

Naruto smirked at Kabuto. “Gaara, take care of this asshole for me.” Then Naruto disappeared quite suddenly. He used his father's own version of the Shunshin no Jutsu to move from in front of Kabuto to where Orochimaru was hiding. He had performed the seals so quickly and whispered the jutsu, that Kabuto hadn't noticed it in time. Naruto had finally mastered his father's jutsu enough to be able to move several yards away in a faster speed than most jounins would be able to do. He still hadn't gotten as fast as his father, though.

But it was fast enough to shock Orochimaru. Orochimaru didn't have enough time to get over his surprise in order to stop Naruto from grabbing both of his arms, and then pulling him out into the open. Naruto had also been pushing some of his own chakra into the snake sannin and used it to control Orochimaru's chakra.

Naruto yelled out. “He's over here!” He was having a hard time keeping control of the snake sannin, though. Orochimaru was fighting back against the blond's control of him. The snake sannin kept trying to get his hands close enough together in order to be able to perform seals.

During all this, Gaara had been fighting with Kabuto. He had tried to get the white haired young man with his Desert Coffin jutsu, but somehow Kabuto was able to get away before the red head could complete it. Now Gaara was trying to hit Kabuto with sand missiles.

The Hokage, Jiraiya and Kakashi had heard Naruto's yell and saw Orochimaru several yards away, with his arms being held tightly by the blond.

“Let's go!” The Hokage then rushed towards where Naruto was, with the other two racing behind him.

Kakashi got there first and threw several kunai at the snake sannin. But he missed the person he was aiming for.

Orochimaru had finally been able to gain back enough control of his own chakra and was also able to get his hands close enough together to perform seals. His body started to dissolve right in front of Naruto, right before the kunai were to hit.

Fortunately for Naruto, he had stepped to the side when the body he had been holding on to had started to melt. But he still got hit with a couple of the kunai. One went into his left shoulder and the other into his left leg.

Kakashi cursed when he realized he had hit his own student. Then he looked around to try to find where Orochimaru had gone. He had uncovered his left eye and activated his Sharingan right before he had followed the Hokage out of their hiding place. He used the Sharingan to look for the snake sannin.

The Hokage had seen Orochimaru perform the seals for his mud clone and had already kept track of where the man had moved to. He performed seals and then teleported behind the snake sannin and began to perform more seals. He then called out, “Katon Karyu Endan.” Immediately an enormous dragon shaped ball of flame shot out of his mouth and headed straight at the real Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had sensed the Third behind him and had turned around right when the older man had called out his jutsu. Orochimaru then performed seals and called out. “Futon Daitoppa!” How fortunate that I can finally kill you, Sarutobi. He had performed a variation of this technique that allowed him to send out a blast of wind that hit the flames coming towards him. This ignited the air and the wind blew the fire back at the Hokage in a powerful blast.

Jiraiya saw his chance, while Orochimaru was distracted with fighting the Hokage, and he quickly got right behind his old team mate and shoved both of his hands, that contained highly powered Rasengans, into the back of the head of the snake sannin and his back where the heart was located.

Orochimaru died instantly. But he had taken the Hokage with him. The powerful blast of wind and fire that the snake sannin had sent towards the Hokage had hit. The Hokage being old and not as fast to move as he used to be, had not had enough time to perform a counter jutsu to stop his former student's attack. He had tried to get away at the last second, but was unable to avoid being hit by the blast. He was burned very badly and coughing up blood. The force of the blast had crushed some of his internal organs and damaged most of the rest.

Kakashi and Naruto were the first to rush to him. Kakashi was afraid to touch the Hokage, because he didn't want to cause him any more pain or damage. So, he just knelt down beside him.

Naruto knelt on the other side. He had tears coming down his face. “Old man! You have to hold on!” He looked up at Kakashi and yelled frantically. “Go get a medic! Don't just sit there! You can make it back to the village faster than I can!”

Kakashi got over his shock when he heard the words of the young blond. He quickly got up and teleported himself back to the village to get help.

Jiraiya, having gotten over the shock of killing his former team mate, looked over and saw the Hokage and Naruto. He quickly performed a summoning technique and called on one of his frogs. He sent the frog back to the village to go to the hospital and get help.

When Orochimaru had died, Kabuto had sensed it somehow and looked back. He saw what was left of his leader's body. He was all alone now and outnumbered. He quickly teleported away from the battle that he had been engaged in with the Sand nin.

When Gaara's prey was no longer anywhere around to kill, he walked down the road to join up with his friend. After he got to where Naruto was, he saw the Hokage lying down on the ground in front of the blond. He stood by his friend and put his hand down to place it on Naruto's shoulder, to show he was there for him.

Naruto felt the touch and looked up at the red head. “He's hurt really bad, Gaara.” He spoke between sobs. He had tears running down his face. He couldn't stop crying.

Gaara got down on his knees beside the blond and wrapped an arm around the boy's shoulders. He laid his head down on top of Naruto's head. He didn't know what to say to help his grieving friend. He could see that the Hokage was dying and wouldn't last much longer.

The Hokage opened his eyes halfway and looked at Jiraiya. His voice full of pain, he forced himself to speak. “Is he dead?”

Jiraiya tried to keep his voice steady and without emotion. “Yes, he won't be a problem for anyone ever again. You need to rest and save your energy, sensei.” He called the Hokage that out of affection for him.

“I have to speak before it's too late, Jiraiya.” The Third then turned his eyes to look at the blond boy beside him. “You did well today, Naruto. I'm very proud of you and I know your parents are too. Remember they are watching over you and I will too.”

A loud sob escaped Naruto. “Ka-Kakashi-sensei went to get help. You're going to be okay. You're too stubborn to die yet, old man.”

The Hokage smiled at the boy. “Not as stubborn as you though. Oh, also do me a favor and watch over Konohamaru for me, make sure he stays out of trouble.” He coughed and more blood poured out of his mouth and rolled down the side of his chin. “Keep training under Jiraiya, learn everything he can teach you and become strong enough to be Hokage.”

Naruto almost smiled at his words, but he was in too much pain to let it out. The old man must live. The village needs him, Konohamaru needs him, and I need him. What is taking Kakashi so long! Naruto felt anger that it was taking so long for anyone to arrive to help.

The Hokage felt himself slipping away. His eyesight was becoming dim and he couldn't feel anything at all. “Goodbye Jiraiya and Naruto.”

“No! You can't leave! Why are you giving up?” Naruto yelled at the old man.

The Hokage didn't answer. He had already passed away.

Kakashi arrived at that moment with several Anbu and medic nin with him. The medics rushed over to the Hokage.

One of them checked his pulse and found that there was none. He then put his head over the old man's heart in order to hear if it was beating. He didn't find a heartbeat either. He quickly started CPR to try to get the heart to start working again.

One of the other medical nin started trying to heal the burns and another tried to heal the internal damage. But the one performing CPR, finally told the other two to stop. He had been unsuccessful in getting the heart to work again. He announced, to everyone around him, that the Hokage was dead.

Naruto started sobbing out loud again. He can't be dead! Why did he have to die?

Gaara pulled his friend into his arms and hugged him. He started rubbing the blond's back to try to comfort him.

Neither Kakashi nor Jiraiya felt like talking. They were still in shock at the loss of their Hokage. But the Anbu captain insisted that one of them give him a report on what had happened. Jiraiya told Kakashi to do it. Then the white haired man left to go back to the village.

After Kakashi had filled in the Anbu captain with all the details of what had happened there, he walked over to Naruto and Gaara. He wanted to hold the blond himself, but Gaara looked like he wasn't about to let go of him. So he stood there and waited for Naruto to stop crying and calm down.

Sasuke was in shock of what he had witnessed. He was still hiding in some bushes, disguised as a cat. He had been about to dispel his henge and join the battle when Naruto had yelled out and appeared on the road, holding onto Orochimaru's arms. Then he had seen the Hokage, his sensei and a white haired stranger come rushing out of nowhere and start attacking the snake sannin. Even though he wanted to fight too, he forced himself to stay in hiding. He knew he would only get in the way.

When he had seen the Hokage was dying, he had also thought to expose himself and go comfort his blond team mate. Sasuke had liked the Third himself and he could see how upset Naruto was. He had felt something tug at his heart as he watched the blond boy cry. He didn't understand why he would care about Naruto being in pain. Sasuke decided to go back to the village. Naruto had the Sand nin and Kakashi to comfort him and the battle was now over. So he left the area to head back to the village.

One of the medic nin treated Naruto's shoulder and leg wounds. The blond hadn't taken the kunais out before, in order to keep from losing too much blood. He had even forgotten about his wounds during the time he was sitting with the Hokage.

When the medic nin was finished with Naruto, Kakashi picked the boy up into his arms. The blond was in too much grief to notice it. “Let's go back to Naruto's apartment, Gaara.”

Gaara nodded at the masked ninja and walked beside him as they headed back to the village. They didn't walk too fast because Kakashi didn't want to cause the blond any more pain.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Kakashi and Gaara got back to the apartment with Naruto, Gaara unlocked the door with his own spare key, that Naruto had insisted he have made, then he opened the door and let Kakashi enter first.

Kakashi headed into the bedroom and placed the boy gently down on his bed. Naruto had fallen asleep on the way back and didn't wake up when he was placed on the bed. Kakashi took the boy's jacket and sandals off him, then pulled the covers up over the boy. He ruffled the hair on the top of the blond's head, smiling down at him.

Gaara had followed Kakashi to the bedroom and was now standing beside the masked ninja. He felt jealous at the jounin's attentions towards his friend. I wish he would leave so that I can comfort Naruto. He looked up at the silver haired man. “You can leave. I will take care of him now.”

Kakashi turned his head and looked down at the red haired boy. He seems very possessive about Naruto. I don't know if this is a healthy friendship for Naruto. But I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, for now. “Alright, you do that. I'll come by tomorrow and check up on him. If Naruto should need me for anything, let me know.”

Gaara just nodded at him. Naruto doesn't need you. He has me.

Kakashi sighed, then turned and left the room. He walked to the front door, opened it and then left the apartment, closing the door behind him.

Gaara took off his gourd and set it against a wall near the door. He had already taken his sandals off at the front door. He pulled back the covers of the bed and then gently lifted Naruto up a little and moved him further back in the bed, so that he would have room to lay down beside him. Gaara then took off his own jacket and pants, leaving his shirt and boxers on. He laid himself down in the bed next to the blond, then pulled the covers up over the both of them. He turned on his side to face Naruto. We both survived. Tomorrow I will think of what story to tell Baki, Temari and Kankuro. Today I will stay here for Naruto. He leaned over and kissed his friend on the cheek, then laid back down, still facing the blond. He whispered, “Sleep well, Naruto.” He closed his eyes and soon joined Naruto in sleep.
