Bunny Yay!

Inochi sighed as he leaned away from the operation table his arms falling limply to his side. With half lidded eyes he turned towards Sarutobi who was in the observation room next door and gave a tired nodd. Sarutobi nodded a sense of relief soon overcame him. He had been waiting for several hour fearing the worst. Inochi wiped his forhead with a nearby hankerchief and looked at the now calm expression on the person before him. He would never have betted on seeing it again.

Flash back...

"INOCHI!" Boomed a voice that echoed with fear and dread. Sarutobi rushed into the Yamanaka Mental-Treatment and Recovery wing of the hospital.

Inochi looked up from his desk and frowned. His eyes then noticed the blood covered face of Naruto Uzumaki who was clinging to Sarutobi as if his life depended on it, a dead expression on his face. Inochi stood strait up and looked over to two Yamanaka Nurses and shouted "Prep-Room 2 Asap! Gat me a sedative, soldier pills, and a lot of water!" Turning to the distressed Hokage Inochi ran up to meet him. "What the hell happened!? I just saw him on his way home from the academy while heading here."

Sarutobi tried to explain and just shook his head in the end. "I don't know what the hell happened out there, I have an injured Shinobi who might be able to tell us something but he'll have to wait, you need to treat him now!"

"An injured shinobi? Was there an Attack or-"

"Inochi, now!" Sarutobi shouted cutting of the Yamanaka clan head. Inochi nodded and pulled Sarutobi along until they entered a rectangular room with a simple wood table and a podium with bottled water and soldier pills. As Sarutobi set Naruto down on the table he had to pry Naruto's fingers from his robes. "Don't worry Naruto, Inochi is going to help you, I'll be right here."

Naruto shook his head wordlessly as he stared at Saturobi with dead unblinking eyes. Saruobi looked over to Inochi who was already taking a suringe from one of the two nurses. As Inochi neared Naruto's eyes flickered to him and then the needle the to Sarutobi, a look of betrayal in his dead eyes. How that was possible Sarutobi would never know, but that look would haunt him till the day he died and beyond.

As the needle entered his skin and the fluid it contained entered his blood stream Naruto let out a slight wimper and Inochi flinched as Naruto whispered. "Please... just kill me..." Naruto went under and for him all went black.

Inochi looked over to Sarutobi who had taken a step back a haunted expression on his face. "You'll have to leave, I'll do the best I can... You can stay in the observation room but you can't be in here... not yet." Sarutobi nodded and slowly walked away, the haunted exprsion never left his face. Inochi then turned to the two nurses and said "I'll need you to becareful in there and whatever happens... if you see the beast run..." The two nurses looked at eachother a moment then nodded as they came closer.

The three Yamanakas made several quick handsigns and then touched glowing hands to Naruto's forehead.

Flashback End...

The mental operation had taken seven hours, thirty minutes, and twelve seconds. How the child had not been brain dead would forever be a mystery to the Yamanaka clan head. Naruto would beable to live life as normally as possible but that would be a challange in itself. Naruto's mind had been shattered, vaporised, and scattered into the winds. Nothing should have survived that, but somehow Naruto had kept it together until the operation. His mind had been rebuilt to atleast a shadow of its former self, which had already been in horrible condition before hand.

But that was where the good new ended. Naruto's mind was fragile, weak, and vulnerable. If he was to suffer another attack like this there would possibly no hope to restore it, and to top it off, he was fragmented. Multiple split-personalities, more than the Yamanaka had ever recorded in one being. Many had to be sealed for the protection of himself, but more importantly, for the safty of others. Another problem was that he could not discern the original personality anymore from the others. With that said, eventually the original would eventually grow stronger than the others and take over, he just hoped it was one of the lest homicidal ones.

With a sigh Inochi reported all that he could to Sarutobi. Sfter he finished he told his nurses to prepare the high security recovery room. Naruto would have to stay for an evalutation and rehablitation. "How long will he have to stay?" Sarutobi asked after a moment.

Inochi bit his lip and then said "Atleast year..."

Saruobi nodded slowly and then sighed "I'll have him replaced into next years starting class..."

Inochi's jaw dropped and he had a brief moment of incoherency. "You still plan to let him enter the acdemy!? He could be a danger to himself and to others! My own daughter is going to be in that class!"

Sarutobi shook his head and raised his eyes to meet Inochi. "He wishes to be Hokage... I peronally think its the only thing that has kept him sane for this long... if I know the boy... he'll still want to be a Shinobi."

Inochi gazed at the tired oldman for a moment and nodded. "Fine... I-if he is ready by then he can join... but just to be safe... I'm going to have to start training Ino early... she might be the only hope we have if he begins to break again."

Well that was my latest creation... I hope you like it and stuff... Let me know what you think! And for those waiting for me to update my other stories, wait a little longer please.
