Just when you think that you're in control, just when you think that you've got a hold, just when you get on a roll, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again. )
She was probably going to hit him. All things considered, it could almost be interpreted as a greeting where Sakura was sometimes concerned. Hey there, Naruto, here’s a concussion.
Not that he generally minded, at the least it meant she usually followed through on what she promised, which was a good quality!
In this case, he was vaguely tempted to see if he could enter into Sage mode just to lessen any potential damage. But the holes Pein had left behind were enough and he didn’t much want to add a cracked skull to the list and when he had tried it earlier it had felt strange. The chakra- or the natural energy in this place, a lot of it … wasn’t that natural, for lack of a better term. Naruto didn’t like it. It made him edgy. And he didn’t know what it would do if he tried to use it. Which made him doubly edgy ( ... )

She was okay. Okay enough to sock him in the shoulder, forcing him back a few stumbled steps-
Were those tears in her eyes?
“OW! Sakura!” The protest came out as a sulky whine, his hand moving up to rub his shoulder and though the complaint was reflexive he was glad for it. No sense in telling her what injuries lingered.

I’m sorry I failed. He’s dead, an errant thought as Sakura scolded him. He won’t be making any more excuses. I dunno how to tell you. But outwardly Naruto let her look as he shifted on his feet in subdued awkwardness. “Oy, it wasn’t a lame excuse!" The token protest. For once in Kakashi’s defence. He still sounded sullen. It was a very real emotion. “It could’ve happened.”
It could have…
“It’s fine,” he murmured then, gaze locked on her expression, the clear determination in green eyes. Something was up. More than his wounds. Naruto took the opportunity to pull his hand away. “They’re ( ... )

They had a lot to talk about, and she wasn't sure she wanted to talk about it. Ever since she'd arrived she'd been keeping busy and trying not to think of where she wasn't--because she was needed back home in Konoha and so was he, but she couldn't get them there. And if she thought about it too much she'd go insane. So she focused on everything she could do here, in World's End, a strange place that scared her but at least had enough going on to keep her completely occupied.
"You're not fine. I said I'd heal them." And she would, thank you. It would be the least she could do--it seemed more and more it was all she could do sometimes. Wait for the battle to finish and heal the wounds after ( ... )
