"Sasuke."
"Aniki!" Said boy turned around sharply and breathed out, relieve at seeing his brother evident in his eyes. Itachi eyed Team 7's remaining teammates. "Where's Naruto?" At that question, Sasuke's face grew dark and his hands shook with pent up fury. Itachi frowned and looked back at the operating room, realising what was going on. "What happened?"
"I- he, he saved me Aniki." Sasuke said. "He jumped in front of one of the attackers that was coming at me. He told me... He told me that he saw me die. He said it were the nightmares and they were all the same, happening on repeat every night. He told me he didn't want to see me die so he took the stab. Argh! If I had been quicker! I would have prevented it! Then he said everyone would be happy if he died and that he finally did something right." Emotions played in both his explanation and on his face.
"Do not blame yourself otouto-"
"How?! He is lying in there because of me!" Sasuke exclaimed.
"Naruto did it to protect you. He care enough that means he doesn't want to see you beat yourself up about it!" Itachi said, his voice trembled slightly at the thought of his injured little friend that he looks at like a brother. Normal people wouldn't have caught that tremble but Sasuke did and he calmed down a little knowing his older brother was affected by that too. The door to the operating theatre opened and Sasuke was in front of Tsunade in a flash.
"How is he? Can we see him? Is he awake?"
"Calm down Sasuke. Let Tsunade-sama sit." Itachi said, tugging Sasuke away for Tsunade who looked at the older Uchiha gratefully as she sat down in the chair heavily. She eyed all of them. Sakura doesn't look that interested. The two brothers looked very concerned and worried, Kakashi was just slightly concern and was probably only staying because Naruto is his student. "He is alright... For now. The weapon was laced with a rare poison and we are currently trying to find an antidote for it. We are unsure what the poison does but it would be alright for the time being, we are keeping a close eye on his condition. If anything changes... We will have to prepare for the worst." Tsunade said. Sasuke's breath hitched and he quickly took a deep breath to try recover. "Can we see him?"
"Yes of course, follow me. We have moved him to intensive care." Tsunade said, standing up and proceeded towards the area without waiting to see if they followed or not.

Sasuke paused abruptly, causing Itachi to almost run into him. "What's wrong otouto?"
"I... Nothing. It's nothing." Sasuke said as he swallowed quietly, not willing to let anyone know how scared he was. What if Naruto was suffering? What if- oh my. Sasuke's thoughts were cut off when he saw the state Naruto was in. Monitors were hooked to him, an oxygen mask over his face and the slightly irregular beeps of the heart monitor, a tube running from the usually tanned boy's arm to an IV drip. His skin was now a sickly pale shade, his face was scrunched up as if in pain and he was panting as if he couldn't breathe. Itachi was the first one over, they were surprised when the powerful Anbu captain suddenly collapsed on his knees next to Naruto, reaching a barely controlled trembling hand over to caress the blond's face.
"He is suffering so much." Itachi murmured, Sasuke made a noise of agreement as he went over to the opposite side of Itachi. Tsunade quietly and quickly pushed the other two out, knowing the two Uchihas wanted alone time with Naruto. She also knows how much they care and worry about the blond. We will find an antidote. Don't you worry, my pretty little child.
"Why are we pushed out?!" Sakura screeched as Tsunade closed the door softly.
"Shut the f* up Haruno or I will tear your throat out." Tsunade snarled. Sakura trembled at the killing intent.
"Ma Ma ma tsunade-sama, don't need to scare the poor girl." Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him.
"You! I want to report of everything that happened. You too Haruno. I will get Sasuke to write one too, and Naruto later. But you, Hatake! Make me annoyed and I will burn every single one of your porn books in front of you. ONE BY ONE. Then I will have you castrated and doing D-ranked missions for the rest of your life!" Tsunade said, her voice dangerously calm, her clenched fist and narrowed angry eyes threatened and strengthened the fact that she will follow through with what she promised. Kakashi gulped and nodded before quickly bowing to excuse himself and he ran off. Sakura almost fainted from the amount of anger dripping from Tsunade.
"Scram!"
"H-hai!" Sakura squeaked and took off faster than anyone has seen her run.
