Senju Tsunade - Fifth Hokage~
"KAKASHI-SENSEI. WHAT'S WRONG WITH KEIKO?"
The elder man opens his mouth to speak to his three genin who watched as Konohamaru hugged the hokage, happy he was alive and crying.
"Nothing, Naruto. She's just a little injured."
"A little?" Sasuke scoffed.
"My cousin doesn't go to the hospital because of a small injury. That insults her pride." Kakashi furrows his brows, working his mind for an answer.
"She's in a coma." Cue shocked gasps from the three.
"She's stable, and her injuries are healing, but she just wont wake up..." He sighs and looks at the crying Konohamaru.
"It's as if she doesn't want to wake up..."
"Kakashi-Sensei!" Konohamaru runs up to the man with teary eyes.
"Is Keiko awake? I want to say thank you!" The elder man smiles a closed eye smile and pats the boys head.
"Sorry, Konohamaru. Keiko is still asleep."
"Oh..." He frowns before smiling again and running back towards the old man.
"Tell me when she's awake!" The Hatake nods, not exactly knowing if she would wake up.
"B-But she's going to be okay, right?" Naruto whimpers, the bandages around his head tight and giving him a headache.
"Yeah. She's going to be fine."
"What are you doing here, Jutei?"
Itachi stares back at the female who sat in a chair in a dark abyss.
"Where am I?" She questions.
"Right when you woke up, I went to your room and put you in Tsukuyomi."
"Why?"
"Because you'll interfere with my plans or go after Orochimaru if you wake up."
"Hn. Release me!"
"I refuse." He shakes his head.
"Its for your own good."
"I must kill him! He's a murderer!"
"I too, am a murderer. But you aren't attempting to kill me."
"Fine then. If you stand in my way, then I'll kill you! Besides, you were ordered to kill them." He sighs.
"You leave me no choice, Keiko..." His body disappears.
"I'll have to make sure you stay where you are for a while." Images appear and her eyes widen once she recognizes the scenery.
"You will relive that night, for twenty-four hours." Her breathing quickens and fear fills her heart.
"Let me go, Itachi! Let me go!"
"Forgive me, Itoko. It will be easier if you hate me, either way." Just before he leaves, he hears her answer.
"I have no right to hate someone as pure-hearted as you, when I am not pure-hearted at all."

"Pervy-Sage! Where can we find this old lady?!"
"Be patient Naruto. We'll find her eventually."
"AHH! Why is it so hard to find her?! Sasuke and Keiko need her!"
"Naruto! be quiet!"
"Hmph!"
"Naruto...I'm sure she'll be fine."
◦•●◉✿✿◉●•◦
"Kabuto...? Why are you here?"
"You still don't know huh?"
"Naruto, he works for Orochimaru!"
"Y-You work for Orochimaru?" He glares at Kabuto.
"You knew him! He murdered Keiko family!"
"All the more reason to join him!" Kabuto cackled.
"I'll kill you! For Keiko!"
"Naruto! No!"
"Rasengan!"

"So, who's this Keiko-Chan your always talking about? A girlfriend?"
"Blegh!" Naruto's face scrunched up in disgust.
"No way! Keiko-Chan is like a sister to me! She's my best-friend!"
"She seems important to you." Tsunade rose an eyebrow at Jiraiya who shrugged.
"Yeah! She was the first person to ever become my friend, ttebayo!"
"Oh?" Shizune smiles.
"Yeah...But she got in a fight with that bastard Orochimaru-" Tsunade and Jiraiya flinch.
"-But he ran away during the fight, and she tried to go after him. Her chakra was almost gone, she wasn't supposed to live but apparently she was getting chakra from somewhere else."
"She...Fought Orochimaru?"
"Yeah!" Beamed Naruto as he proudly spoke about his best friend.
"And she beat him! He had to run away!" Tsunade looks at Jiraiya who nods in confirmation.
"She's only sixteen..."
"She possesses the sharingan..."
"I see..."
"But..." Naruto frowns as their questioning gazes turn to his sad expression.
"I don't know who that was when she heard about Orochimaru, but it wasn't Keiko."
"What are you talking about?" A confused Shizune asks the blonde haired boy.
"You just said she beat him."
"She did, but she didn't."
"Explain it better Naruto!"
"I dont know! Her eyes were the same as when the villagers look at me, but it's so much worse! She said his name as if it was poison...I-It was really scary..." Tsunade frowned, understanding what was wrong.
"What did Orochimaru do to her?"
"He killed her family..."
"...I-I see..." Tsunade smiled at Naruto.
"I'll help her, so don't worry, Naruto. She'll be fine."

"Naruto! You're back!" Konohamaru grins at the boy
"Yeah!" Replied Naruto.
"And I brought someone who's going to help, Keiko!" Sakura stood beside the raven haired boy and silver haired man as they all waited beside her door for Tsunade to heal Keiko.
"You sure this woman can save Keiko?"
"Yeah, I'm sure, ttebayo! I mean, she helped you and sensei, right?"
"Right..."
Just then, the door entered to her room as the blonde haired hokage stepped out.
"Go greet your friend." Naruto grinned, running inside as everyone followed.
There, sitting up with closed eyes, Keiko slowly opened them and stared blankly at her white sheets and didn't even flinch when something collided with her.
"Keiko!" Naruto cried.
"I'm so glad your okay!" She didn't answer, staring at her blanket as Konohamaru took his turn in hugging her.
"Thank you! Gramps is alive thanks to you...!" She finally glanced at the boy crying on her lap, an image of her younger brother flashing through her mind, almost sending tears to her dried eyes.
"What's wrong, Keiko?" Sakura asked in concern for the female.
Finally glancing up, Keiko's eyes seemed to be an almost light gray colour. Tsunade leaned across the door, wondering why that was.
"Where is Orochimaru...?" Everyone flinched at the coldness in her voice.
Narutos eyes were wide in horror.
No...This wasn't his Keiko-Chan.
This wasn't Keiko-Chan.
...
Was it...?"
"Gone Keiko. You saved the entire village." She grit her teeth as Kakashi -For some reason- told Konohamaru to leave, to which he thankfully did.
"I don't care about that. Is he dead?"
"What do you mean you don't care, Keiko?" Naruto frowned.
"Naruto...What day is it?"
"I-It's...September 10th."
"Hn." She replied, swing her feet off the side of the bed and staring at the floor.
"Why haven't you looked at us yet, Keiko?" Sasuke moved closer as she simply stared at the floor.
"I cannot..." She trailed off as they were confused.
"What do you mean...?"
"I cannot see you at all. I have no vision."
