After Tsunade scooped the rest of the blood and vomit out of Kakashi's mouth, she held her hand in front of Kakashi's mouth and nose, as her other hand went to the pulse point on his neck, but didn't feel any breathing or a pulse. 'Oh shit!'

"He's going into cardiac arrest," Tsunade stated at a rapid pace.

Jiraiya quickly noticed what was happening and added, "Tsunade, I'll start chest compressions-"

"No, don't! His ribs are still not fully mend together! You'll just end up breaking them again!" Tsunade yelled at Jiraiya in earnest.

"Better to have a few broken ribs, over being dead!" Jiraiya countered furiously, as he turned Kakashi on his back.

"Yeah, so they can shatter into pieces, and punctured his lungs and heart. Drowning him in his own blood!" Tsunade yelled in equal fury with a death glare at Jiraiya.

"Then what do you want us to do!" Minato joined in the yelling match, in desperation, knowing the clock was ticking to save Kakashi.

Tsunade's eyes shifted around from place to place, as she trying to come up with a solution, then gasped and started, "Jiraiya, after I give Kakashi two breaths I want you to send an electric charge to Kakashi's heart-"

"What! Earlier you said Kakashi's heart is in a weakened state, and now you want me to electrocute him!" Jiraiya snapped at Tsunade, in anger and surprised.

"You won't be electrocuting him it will be more like a defibrillator, sending an electric current to the heart, to help restart it," Tsunade quickly corrected, but still can see the hesitation in Jiraiya's expression. "You asked for a plan B! This is it! This is plan B, C, all the way to fucking Z! Now stop wasting time, and do what I say!" Tsunade yelled furiously at Jiraiya again, as she cleaned Kakashi's mouth with the corner of the blanket.

Jiraiya growled out before replying, "all right."

After Tsunade and Jiraiya finish two sets of three, Kakashi still remained unresponsive and wasn't showing any sign of life. After every breath, every shock to the heart, the group was losing hope. Minato could feel his fists trembling uncontrollably at his sides as he lowered his head to hide his expression from the others in the room. While Kushina's grimaced deepen with every sound electricity connecting to Kakashi's chest as she held Obito and Rin with their faces toward her. Obito's terrified tearful eyes peered over his shoulder to where Tsunade and Jiraiya were leaning over his teammate trying to bring him back to life. While Rin clung to Kushina's green dress with all her might, as she sobbed into the material covering Kushina's stomach.

For a split second, Tsunade felt Kakashi's heart give a faint pulse, but it was still too weak for the makeshift defibrillator to fully bring him back. As a last resort, Tsunade uses her medical ninjutsu to kick-start Kakashi's brain, cardiac, and nervous system. Resulted in Kakashi letting out a blood-curdling scream, as white-hot agony travels through his veins, before feeling the healing chakra seep into his withering body.

Kakashi remained on the agonizing borderline of consciousness, he tried to take deep breaths, but the pain kept his breathing shallow. He thought about going back to where he was just a moment ago until he heard a familiar voice call out, "Kakashi!"

"Kakashi, wake up! Please, wake up!" Minato cried out again, as his adrenaline spiked, at the sound of his youngest student's screaming in pure agony. Which still sent shivers down his spine making his heart race, and ready for action, but there are no enemies to fight right now making him feel completely useless.
