"Forehead" I heard that stupid nickname the pig calls me. It sounded kind of faraway maybe I could ignore it. "Forehead" I heard again. "Get up!" I was now being shaken awake. God I wish she would just leave me alone. Obviously I was sleeping why couldn't she just leave me that way? I opened my eyes and everything was really blurry at first, but when everything focused I looked at her and groaned.
"Sakura get up its not good sleeping in your office." Ino-pig said. I groaned again. "Seriously Sakura sleeping with you head on your desk is not healthy and you're supposed to be a doctor.
"Yeah well Pig I have a hospital to run unlike you." I said rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "Sleep isn't something I can afford when people are dying and need my help" I finished brushing the knots out of my hair.
"I know, I know, but you need to take care of yourself. How are supposed to take care of everyone when you can't even take care of yourself." She finished looking all smug at me. I glared at her as I walked past to get my lab coat.
"Get out Pig I need to make my rounds" I told her opening the door for her basically telling her to leave. "Whatever" she said clearly getting the hint walking past me and out the door her long blond hair swaying behind her as she walked down the hallway.
I signed I understand where she's coming from, but these people need my help and I want to help them, a few days of sleep deprivation won't kill me. I have a job to do, so sleep can wait. I leave my office and am making my way to the nurse's station when I hear my name being called.
"Sakura-Chan"I know whose voice that is. "Naruto" I call as I turn around and see him walking towards me I smile at him. I also see Sasuke is trailing behind him looking all grim as usual. They both look beaten up and dirty. I'm assuming they were training or their version of training which really just is them beating each other to a pulp and see who is standing at the end, but the way it actually ends is both of them needing medical attention and their spar ends up in a tie.
"Hey Sakura-Chan" He said again when finally reached me. He was laughing and rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Can you do us a favor and heal us. We uh…went a little over board ya know." I signed I love my boys, but they are just way too reckless and competitive. They can't keep doing this to each other.
I punched both of them in the head. "Boys" I signed again. "You can't keep doing this to each other and expecting me to heal you I have other patients that need more attention than you do"
"Aw come on Sakura-Chan." Naruto whined. "Please." I rolled my eyes at him and shook my head. I have other patients that need my attention right now I don't have the time to heal them right now.
"See I told ya dope she wouldn't do it" Sasuke finally speaks up. I glare at him. "Listen here buddy" I started and got in his face. "You guys are adults start acting like it we're not 12 anymore and we can't just go around and do whatever we want. I have a hospital to run and patients to care for, so I'm sorry that I can't drop everything that I'm doing to heal you I have actual patient to heal." I finished poking him in the chest. I then turned and walk away going to make my rounds.
"See what you did, you should've just kept your mouth shut teme" Naruto yelled and Sasuke just huffed. I smiled as I was walking away. They may be annoying, but they're my boys and I love them. Even though we're all adults and we're all going our separate ways with Naruto training with Kakashi-sensei to become Hokage, Sasuke training with his father and brother to run the police force and myself running the hospital we'll always be team seven.
Finally making my way to the nurse's station to get a list of patient that need to be seen by me a nurse saw me and started walking towards me with a clip board in hand.
"Haruno-San there is a patient in exam room three saying he needs to see you right away." I take the clip board from her and start looking over the patients' medical records. I noticed the name first. Itachi Uchiha also known as the fierce ANBU captain, the heir to the Uchiha Clan and also Sasuke's older brother. Why would Itachi need to see me right away?
"Okay thank you I'll make my way there now." I told the nurse and started to make my way to exam room three. Hopefully it won't take it long I've got other patients to see. When I get to exam room three I knock on the door first before entering. He was sitting on the exam table with his hands clasped together.
"Hi Uchiha-San how are you feeling today" I greeted him with a smile.
"Hello Sakura-San and please call me Itachi. I am also feeling fine and yourself?" He greeted back and smiled.
"I am doing fine Itachi-San." I told him looking directly at him as I said his first name. "Is there a reason for your visit today and that you would need to see me so urgently?" I asked needing to know the reason he had told the nurses that he needed to see my urgently. Taking my pen and clip board in hand to write down the reason his visit to the hospital.
"Yes actually there is I know you just worked on my eyes just recently, but they've been bothering me quite a lot since my last mission and I have to leave for a mission in the morning. I thought it would be best if you looked at them before I leave. Do you think you can check them?" It was brought up to Lady Tsunade that those in the Uchiha Clan who have the Mangekyo Sharingan lose their eyesight the more its used, so Itachi and I have been trying to figure out a way to prevent them from losing their eyesight.
"Of course, but you know you didn't have to come through the hospital to do it we could've done it whenever. I know that you don't like coming to the hospital." I told him writing down his reasoning on my clip board then placing it on the counter. "Lay down please and keep your eyes closed please"
"I know the drill Sakura-San and since you've taken over running the hospital I don't want to inconvenience you." He told me as he was lying down and closed his eyes. I laughed at his reply and started healing his eyes. Together we had found that the reason Uchiha's with the Mangekyo Sharingan lose their eyesight is because to be able to use the Sharingan they have to send chakra to their eyes and using the Mangekyo sends more than the chakra pathways can handle, so it burns the pathways and causes blindness. To prevent the blindness one must heal the burns and prevent the chakra pathways from getting too damaged, but that's only a temporary solution together we've been searching for a more permanent solution.
"Okay Uchiha-San all done and please be careful in the future." I told him as I was walking back to my clip board writing about the procedure taken during his hospital visit.
"Thank you Sakura-San I'll see you later this week my mother has invited team 7 over for dinner." He told me as he was getting up to leave.
"Oh yes I love your mothers cooking its amazing." I said getting excited for Mikoto-San's amazing cooking.
He chuckles at my behaviors. "Well she just adores you and Naruto-Kun, so she loves having the two of you over for dinner."
"And we love going over there for dinner, so as long as she invites we'll keep coming." I laughed.
"Okay Sakura-San have a good day." He told me and walked out the door. He probably has a lot of clan business to deal with seeing as Fugaku-San wants to retire soon because Itachi is approaching his 25th birthday and wants him to take over the clan, but wants Itachi to be married first. Hopefully Itachi will be able to marry for love and not for convenience. Who would want a loveless marriage and he'd have to produce an heir for the future of the clan, so than a child has to deal with parents that doesn't love each other and that's not right. Hopefully everything will work out for the best.
