The fight with Orochimaru left you on the brink of death, leaving you in a week-long coma. Naruto's heart shattered as he saw you lie almost lifelessly on the floor; his blood was boiling and his downfall began.

Days went by as you slept. He cared for you, tending to you night and day..

When you awoke from your coma, he ran to your side, resting his hand on top of yours; tears welling in his eyes as he looked at you.
