Yeah, i feel guilty for leaving this fanfic. So here's an update. Please do not take this as a sign of this book being recontinued. I may edit past chapters, but i simple haven't enough time to update regularly.

+Naruko+

My eyes open, rinnegan still activated. Now out of the genjutsu, i fell braver, with my rinnegan, and my mum's beleif in me, i can't lose, i won't!

"Are you alright, Naruko?" kakashi sensei asks. "I..." i murmer, not knowing what to say. My eyes are closed. I want to not show them if i can. "Genjutsu. But your ok. And now we have learnt... it isn't just because of his eyes.." Sakura informs me. I nod, eyes still closed. "It's time to fight him properly. Put into it your all, Naruko!" kakashi calls out, and i nod.

But sakura notices something is up. She has realised i have no intention of opening my eyes, since it's kinda hard to de-activate my rinnegan. "Naruko, why won't you open your eyes?!" i don't bother with an excuse. There's no way she would beleive anything i say, so i ignore her.

Kakashi fights Itachi for quite a while, and while it may be rather unfair with Itachi's mangekyou, kakashi sensei is an elite, he won't lose! Still, he looks to be struggling. I turn my head away from sakura and open my eyes. I allow kyuubi to flow his chakra through me, and my rinnegan turn blood red. i run while itachi is distracted. "GOT IT!"I thrust my Odama Rasengan into itachi's chest, and he is sent flying. "Sugoi.." i hear sakura whisper, but something is off.

Itachi smirked, even though my rasengan was fatal. Something isn't right. "aw, shoot!2 i whisper as i look at the should-be-itachi's-body. I keep my head low and withdraw chakra from my eyes, feeling the rinnegan start to dissapear. "was it there jutsu or what?!" sakura asks. "I had a bad feeling about it in the battle.." kakashi sais, and i chip in. "What could it...?" "I know him. Yuura, a jounin from my village." granny chiyo sais

"I wonder how naruko is?" i wonder, and arata rolls his eyes. "I'm sure she's just fine, stop worrying!" "....n-no, i have a bad feeling...." i murmer under my breath.

+Naruko+

Suddenly an intense pain builds up in my chest. The curse mark, it's building up! My curse mark is extremely unique. instead of making me grey or purple, my skin goes white. My whiskers grow more prominant, and my hair is red. Thankfully, it isn't at that stage right now. The curse mark spreading acroos my skin itself looks like cracks spreading across my face. (Like that one chick from the sound four i think, but thinner lines and looks more like shattered glass)

I choke up blood and fall to my knees. The last thing i hear is sakura calling out my name as i black out.
