Lanterns 7
Naruto wakes in what is left of a clearing, with soot stuffed up his nose, and his mouth full of blood and vomit.
He tries to stand, but his limbs are weak and drained of energy. His memory has left him.
He chokes on his own throat, then curls up into himself, coughing up blood until the problem shows itself. There are pieces of flesh stuck between his teeth. He throws up an whole severed eye, optical nerves and all.
He clutches at his throat with a rising sense of panic, and finds his vision fade again.
The world may forget where this village last stood, humble home of farmers and civilians, but Naruto never will.
