I am ignored as Itachi tightens our grip, making me lose my eyesight from the lack of oxygen reaching my brain. I feel myself lose consciousness as a poof of smoke appear from next to Itachi and behind Naruto. I turn my head sleepily as Ritsuki Sensei stands still staring at Itachi with confidence. I hear Itachi sigh and look at my sensei.
"And then there were four.."

"Let them go Itachi" Ritsuki growled out as she took her kunai and aimed it at the Uchiha. Itachi hears Kisame laugh out, causing him to become slightly irritated.
"Well Itachi, they just keep coming huh?"
"Silence Kisame, we seemed to be outnumbered.." Itachi quickly look back at Y/N and Sasuke to realize the wall had started to shift into flesh and muscle. Itachi had no choice but to let go as both of the small Uchiha that were now absorbed into the pink slime, protected from farther harm. Itachi wipes his hand on his robe, wiping the slime off his wrists and purple pedicure.
"You think you can distract the great Jiraiya!!?? Not a chance! This woman might be beautiful but no woman I have met has ever been so generous as to let me stay next to her for more than 5 minutes!!!"
"Jiraiya, you were practically drooling over her! I had to go to grave measures just to get your attention!!" Jiraiya twitches his eyebrow at Ritsuki and holds his hand out at her.
"You ruined the great Jiraiya's entrance.." Ritsuki opens her mouth in dissatisfaction from how childish a sannin can be. Kisame pokes the side of the 'wall' with his sword confused yet intrigued.
"What is this stuff..? Hmmm" Jiraiya laughs obnoxiously and puts his hand on his hips, Naruto turning around to watch in a bored tone.
'This isn't the time to be acting like a pervert!' Naruto thought as he moved next to his sensei in disappointment.
"You are inside of a toads stomach my friend! But don't mess around too much or he might get angry. This toad can melt and incinerate you if you're not careful, AHAHAHA!!"
Itachi sighs at the jokester and the lame excuse of an -
"Pay attention to me, Itachi!" He turns his head back at Ritsuki and nods his head in acknowledgment, both of them raising their heads high. While Jiraiya was busy with Kisame, Ritsuki made the first move by throwing a couple of shurikens which Itachi had easily dodged. Ritsuki looked back up but Itachi didn't seem to be in front of her anymore. She cursed under her breath as she felt his chakra from behind her.
"When did you activate that Genjutsu on me hm?" Itachi's eyes narrowed before speaking in a monotone voice.
"As soon as you took that one glance at me." He bluntly stated. Ritsuki growled and stood still as she felt the cold touch of a kunai around her neck making her chuckle.
"So a Genjutsu battle is what you want? Well, sorry to break it to you but I can't do that."
"Sure you can." Itachi quietly replied making Ritsuki grit her teeth.
"But," Itachi started, "It looks like we will have to wait until we meet again."
"Excuse me? WE are NOT done here!!" Unfortunately, there was a sudden explosion of smoke and a loud slicing noise.
'Damn, smoke bomb." Ritsuki thought trying to wave away the smoke as she coughed. As it cleared there was an unusual rumble that played from around them, making Naruto, Jiraiya, and Ritsuki to twist and tremble to stay on their feet.
"They broke through it.." Jiraiya spits out as both him and the blonde run to make their way over to Ritsuki. The flesh started to disappear as the room became normal, Y/N and Sasuke becoming visible again. They both fell to the floor, Y/N being unconscious and Sasuke's eyes open but non responsive...as if he was dead.
Naruto falls on his knees and takes his sister's head on his lap, tears of anger rolling down his whisker marks and chin. He then looks to his best friend and tries to shake the Uchiha out of it but to no avail.
"He will pay for this..- HEY!?" Naruto's rant became short as a man came and punched Jiraiya square in the jaw.
"Naruto, Y/N, Sasuke! Are you three ok!?"
"Guy! It is me! JIRAIYA!!" Guy freezes and bows in apology, saying he thought he was a enemy. Jiraiya sighs and orders Ritsuki and Guy to carry both Y/N and Sasuke back to the Leaf Village while both him and Naruto hurry to find Tsunade.
"You guys are looking for Tsu?" Ritsuki asks surprised, remembering her enemy yet best friend. Jiraiya nods his head slowly. The woman just looks down at the floor and then back up at the pervert.
"Make sure you bring her back, safe...please." Jiraiya stays silent but Ritsuki knew he would. She smiles and thanks her close friend before picking up Y/N's unconscious body in her loving arms.
"Let's get you fixed up kid."

My eyes start to slit open as a bright light showers down upon my S/C face. Ugh what happened? The events that took place before I was knocked out came flooding into my mind like a tsunami, making my eyes grow slightly wide from them. I can't believe Itachi would go to lengths like that just to keep my mouth shut...maybe he was forced to keep that tough act. I hope everyone is ok.
"Y/N?" I look to my right to see Naruto waking up from a nap and rubbing his eyes tiredly.
"Naruto?...how long have I been out?" Naruto's eyes soften as he looks down at the ground, quietly playing with his thumbs. My voice was raspy and dry, squeaking every now and then when I spoke.
"About 3 weeks..."
3 WEEKS!? HOW CAN I BE OUT FOR 3 WHOLE WEEKS!? I furrow my eyebrows and Naruto noticed the look of concern and confusion plastered on my features.
"I hardly believed it myself when I came back from my mission with Pervy Sage but maybe it was because Itachi must have put something on you too...maybe a genjutsu..." I slowly nod my head and wince at the slight bruising I felt around my neck. I lift my hand to feel around to notice some bumping around the sides of my throat, making me frown at the memory.
"How is Sasuke?" I manage to squeak out. Naruto perks at my questions and rubs the back of his neck.
"He actually just woke up not too long ago, Sakura should be gone now. He is actually on the other side of the curtain here." I slightly turn my head towards the curtain to my left and sigh softly, happy to know he was ok. Naruto gets up and grabs the curtain.
"Hey, Sasuke!" I hear a faint 'hn' of reply before Naruto slowly removes the curtain, exposing me to Sasuke. The Uchiha's eyes widen at me and I give him a weak smile. Naruto runs over and helps sit me up but not without me groaning and crying in pain. My throat felt like hell and the upper part of my body felt sore from the attack, also numb from the lack of body movement. Sasuke carefully looks at my fragile form, his anger rising every second I shook and winced.
"Here let me lift your hair, Y/N." I try to shake my head but with the condition I was in, I couldn't. I lift my hands and make an X symbol in hopes Naruto wouldn't reveal my bruised neck to Sasuke but Naruto obviously didn't get the hint. I didn't want to talk since if I did, it would only make Sasuke angrier. Naruto carefully wraps his hand around my neck, careful not to add any pressure to my neck as he lifted my soft locks.
"N-Naruto." I squeak out. I see Sasuke from the corner of my eye stiffen up as he scans over my neck, seeing the bruising his brother caused. Without warning, Sasuke removes the blanket and steps on the floor making both Naruto and I shocked at his sudden action. Naruto tries to get him to lay back down but Sasuke refuses, slowly swaying over to me and moving my hair to the side to carefully inspect my throat. His fingers scan over my purple and brown marks making me close my eyes in pain. Sasuke notices and pulls his fingers back.
"Y/N." I look at him.
"Speak. Talk to me, please." I move back and hesitate before giving in and opening my mouth.
"D-don't get m-ad, please." My mouth was scratchy and barely hearable, making me look so vulnerable and injured. Sasuke's eyes darken and his eyebrows furrow deep in thought.
"He did this to you....he will pay for hurting you." My eyes widen and I shake my head slightly and wave my hands side to side desperately.
"N-no Sasuke...D-on't worry- I- I'm ok." Sasuke huffs and sits on the side of my bed, taking his hand into mine. I blush and move my eyes to the side since I couldn't exactly move my head without turning my neck.
"I will make sure you don't get hurt like this again, Y/N. I will protect you." My lips curve into a nervous smile as I gaze upon the Uchiha, my heart pounding from his statement. I hear a cough come from the curtain and yip slightly, knowing who it was.
"I am still here, ya know!?" I quickly laugh at my brother before crying out from the pain it caused. Sasuke puffs his cheeks at Naruto, calling him a dobe before tightening his grip on my hand and then letting go, the cold air now hitting my once warm hand.
"Just what is going on between you and my sister Sasuke? Huh?" The Uchiha just scoffs at Naruto's question before leaving the room.
"H-hey, I am not done with you, Baka!" Naruto follows Sasuke out of the room, the yelling and arguing fading the farther way the two got. I smile to myself and close my eyes in content.
"My two morons." I say to myself. I hear a soft knock at my door and open my eyes quickly and look at the frame. Ritsuki and a woman with blonde locks walk into the room quietly. The blonde woman sit down in the chair at my side where Naruto once was and lifts her hand over my neck, a green light emitting from her palm.
"I am sorry we didn't get to you sooner but I had to have a talk with Lee."
Rock Lee? Is he ok? I wonder how he is doing sine the Chunin Exams...I look over to Ritsuki Sensei and see a extremely sad and worried expression in her eyes, sweat visible on the sides of her temples. I reach my hand out to her in comfort and smile, letting her know I was ok. She smiles back and kneels down taking my hand in hers and squeezing.
I got this sudden feeling of warmth in my heart but it wasn't the type that I feel towards Sasuke, it was something different. The feeling I think you would feel towards a mother or sister. The feeling made me smile tons making Ritsuki look at me confused.
"There, that should do it." The blonde announce, standing up as her chest bounced with her. I couldn't help but compare myself, like damn, she got a package. I sigh at the feeling of being able to move my neck with ease and sit up without any problems.
"Thank you, Tsu." Ritsuki states, smiling up at her.
"No worries Suki, just let me know if anything happens." I blink as the woman leaves the room. Ritsuki sighs and stands up, reaching her hand out for me to grab to which I gladly accept.
"Hey Ritsuki Sensei, who was that?" I hear her laugh her signature laugh and shake her head.
"That was my old friend, Tsunade."
