Naruto 168

A mini-typhoon engulfs Kabuto and sends him flying back into a nearby rock. The Sannin are all surprised by the technique, but Kabuto is still barely standing. Blood bursts from Naruto's mouth and as he falls to the ground Tsunade rushes to his side. Kabuto states he could take the attack because he was healing that part of his body before the hit impacted. His cockiness fades though as he falls to the ground, his chakra wasn't enough to combat the Rasengan. Tsunade tries to save Naruto, his heart erratic the only hope is Tsunade's healing. Kabuto gloats she is in as worse position as Naruto, but she yells for him to shut up. As she begins to apply healing to his chest, the Kyuubi inside feels it getting darker. She pleads for Naruto to not die, and he weakly extends his hand to grab her necklace. She heals his pierced hand and remembering back to Nawaki and Dan, she asks another to wear the necklace once again... the bet fulfilled, she begins to cry. On the snake, Orochimaru realizes Naruto might just become a bigger hassle later on with Akatsuki involved, so he dives down. Jiraiya follows but Orochimaru extends his tongue, and flicks the following Sannin away into the ground. Extending his sword Kusanagi from his throat he bears down on Naruto. Just as he is about to strike he connects... with the chest of Tsunade! She has stepped in the way to take the blow for her fallen comrade!
