I decided to write a new story after a few days of thinking about it. All the medical stuff I'm going to use it's either real either close to reality. In any case I'm going to try and do my research as well as I can. The story will have a lot of drama and medical history and hopefully you'll like it. And I promise I'm going to try and finish it. Enjoy!

Ch 1!

"This is Konoha's Three Saints hospital. This prestigious hospital has 20 intership spots to offer every year. That's not much! I want to congratulate all of you, you made it! This will not be easy! This will not be a walk in the park! You have lives in your hands! This people count on you to give them the best medical care in Konoha! It's up to you wether they get it or not! There's 20 of you, it's expected that only 2 will pass this program. 10 will get cut back, 5 will give up and 3 will get lost on the way. This are the odds, they have been beaten before! Welcome to Three Saints, may the odds be ever in your favor!"

Standing in the hospital's white hallway 20 interns were waiting for their first 48 hours working in a real hospital. The chief of surgery, Tsunade, while voicing the speech she does every year, has excitment running everywhere inside her body. This year is different! This year Sakura Haruno, the child of the one and only Kim Haruno, the most respected general surgeon in America, maybe the best. One thing's for sure: these are going to be seven very interesting years.

"The doctors in this hospital are respected surgeons famous around the world for their work, some say the best! We have Dr. Kakashi Hatake, head of Cardio, Dr. Kurenai Yuhi, head of pediatrics, Dr. Asuma Sarutobi head of neuro, Dr. Might Guy, head of orthopedics, Dr. Iruka Umino, head of trauma, Dr. Jiraya, head of general surgery, Dr. Shizune, head of gynecology. Along with our fine doctors we have first class nurses! You've been given an oportunity, don't take it for granted!" Dr Tsunade stepped down from the stairs which she used as a podium and procedded to her office. Dr. Sarutobi stepped up and said a few more informative words.

"Each of you have a locker asigned in the locker room and also a resident. Go wait in the locker room until someone comes and calls you to meet your resdient. Thank you." As he stepped down you could hear whispers and murmurs. Some were excited, some were scared. It was a new begining for everyone. It was supposed to be scary and exciting.

The hospital was big. 10 ., 550 rooms, technology, 1 cafeteria, 5 guard rooms. The walls were white and the floors taken care of so they won't be slippery. Huge windows and many, many door, behind each one a new medical mystery. It was intriguing.

The locker room was just one. Next to the cafeteria, to the right of the front desk where all the new patients had their files waiting to be taken by an intern. It was a simple big room with white walls and ciment floors. 5 sinks with mirrors at the left of the door. Rows and rows of lockers with benches in between. The interns were sitting on them right now.

"Who's your resident?" A young looking girl with pinkish hair and big green eyes asked. She was curious, she was anxious and most definitely she was scared. While the chief's speech might have inspired some, it definitely scared her.

"I hear is someone called Uchiha. You?" The person she asked was also a girl, a blonde girl with beautiful blue eyes who looked rather familiar.

"Honestly, I have no idea. I'm Sakura. Sakura Haruno." She streched her hand out.

"Ino Yamanaka." Ino smiled and shook Sakura's hand firmly. She read somewhere that a strong hand shake is polite and makes a good impression.

"You have Uchiha too?" A blonde boy approached them grinning. He definitely wasn't scared. "I heard I got Uchiha but I'm not sure that's true. Still, one can only hope. I hear he's the best resident this hospital's seen in years."

"I supppose-"

"Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, Hyuga Hinata, Neji Hyuga, TenTen and Rock Lee. You're with Deidara. Laugh at his jokes or you'll get the pit for months." The six looked up a bit startaled. They probably had no idea what the pit is but it definitely didn't sound too friendly.

The nurse walked back followed by the six interns she named. Six down, fourteen to go. Sakura was starting to have a weird ich on her right arm.

Slowly, the fourteen interns got fewer and fewer. The next group was made of eight interns leaving only six sitting in the locker room. Our protagonist, Sakura Haruno with her new acquaintance Ino. The blonde boy who butted in their conversation, a tall dark guy with messy, black hair, a shorter guy with a high ponytail and a chubby guy eating an apple. It was obvious by now that they all have the same intern.

"Do you think it's Uchiha?" Ino asked again.

"You six, follow me!" The nurse came again. Half of them took a silent deep breath in before they started walking. The tension was in the air, everything was foggy for Sakura. She couldn't focus at all. "That over there is your resident." A red haired guy was sitting at the front desk making small talk with the nurse. The six interns looked at him in silence.

"Do you think that's Uchiha?" asked one of them.

"That's not Uchiha." Tha tall dark guy finally spoke his first words.

"How do you know?" The blonde boy now known as Naruto after a loud conversation asked.

"Uchiha's my brother, I think I know how he looks like. Unless he decided to cut his hair short and dye it red I don't see how that guy standing over there is him."

"Do you think we shoud go over there?"

"No! Let's just stand here and play the silence game." The ponytail guy rolled his eyes and slowly walked towards their new resident.

As he was walking, Sasori turned around and smirked at the closing in idiot and the group of cowards shaking behind him. He had his eye on the walking one, he'll make him suffer the most.

"Good you're finally here! Now listen up!" he picked up 4 files and walked in the left door opening a brand new corridor which was yet to be explored. The interns were following him staying close listening to his every word. "I have five rules. Learn them, respect them and you won't be seeing the pit more than you have to. Understood? Good! Rule number one: these are your pagers, always turned on, always on you!" As he was talking he hands them one pager each, a black small device with a screen right in the middle and a few buttons on the side. "Rule number two: when the pager beeps you don't walk, you run! Wether the emergency is a broken neck or someone needs water, you run! Rule number three: If I sleep you don't wake me up! Unless, of course, your patient is dying, but he better be so close to death he already has a tag on his toe which leads me to rule number four: When I get there your patient better not be dead! Questions!" He stops in his tracks, turns around and waits. Ino slowly raises her hand. "Blonde one! Your name and question!"

"Ino Yamanaka. What is the pit?" None of them knew what the pit was so the question was a good one for them but at the same time a stupid one for their resident.

"The E.R. You see sutures, rarely anything good. No one likes it hence the name! Any other idiotic questions?"

"Naruto Uzumaki. You said five rules, those were four." Sasori threw him a look that clearly spelled "smartass" but replied anyway.

"Rule number five: when I walk, you walk! Now move." He turned around, not allowing anymore questions, and opened the first door on the right. Inside the patient was waiting with the head of general surgery, dr. Jiraya.

"Dr. Sasori, you finally made it. How are the interns?" He asked while pressing the abdomen of a woman apparently in her mid 30s.

"They're idiots, dr. Just like all the interns." They both chuckled for a moment finding the joke amusing. The six interns didn't know what was that funny, insulting them like that. "Alright, pink one! Present the case!" Sasori handed her the chart and she took a look through it before starting.

"Miss Sarah Joyce, 36 years old, presenting pain in the uper abdomen traveling to the lower right abdomen, fever and nausea."

"Very well, Dr..." Jiraya looked at her.

"Haruno Sakura, sir."

"Dr. Haruno, what is your dignosis?"

"I would think apendicitis, but further questions should be asked."

"Go ahead then." Sakura took a few steps in the direction of the pacient and started asking questions like she learned.

"Any loss of apetite?"

"Yes. I used to eat quite a lot but now I throw up everything I eat."

"Pain during urination or diarreah?"

"None so far, no." Sakura got what she wanted. She now knew for sure it was apendicitis. Also, it said so in the chart.

"It's apendicitis."

"That's right , great job, the chubby one, you're scrubbing in with me." Jiraya proceded in talking with the patient while the other were rapidlly thrown out of the room.

"That's what you'll be asked to do with every patient so if you think you didn't study enough in med school you might want to start now." The pagers went crazy and in a few seconds all 7 were running across the hospital to the E.R. There was a car crash.

"What do we do now?" Naruto asked his resident who was putting on a yellow long coat and a pair of gloves.

"You stay there and look pretty-you idiots! put these on!" just like Sasori they put on the yellow coat and the gloves and stepped out to where the ambulances were coming in like crazy.

"Male, in his 20s, trauma to the head and a broken wrist. Possible intern injuries." The first victim is carried out of the ambulance on a stretcher, unconcious.

"He's mine!" Ino yelled following the victim. This might be their first day but they certainly got the drill. Everytime there is an accident interns fight over the better case, the one with the most complications so they can get the most expeience. Over time they decided that who calls it first, gets the patient. It's like 'dibs' but in more words.

"Male, 50s, heart attack, head trauma, internal bleeding." There goes the next victim.

"I'll take this one, you stay here and wait for the others. Uchiha go back in and make the rounds." Sasori took his patient and left his interns behind.

"Damn it! I was hoping for a brain tumor!" Sasuke left angry at the missed oportunity while the other 4 were still waiting.

"Cause those are common in a car crash!" Shikamaru yelled after him mokingly.

"Female, eye injury and a collapsed lung."

"She's mine! She's mine!" Choji got there first, the victim is his! Probably not the best choice since the injuries are not that uncommon. He made a bad choice.

He left with his patient leaving Sakura and Shikamaru behind in an awkward silence, both waiting.

"So...how do you like it so far?" Sakura tried to start a conversation but thankfully the next victim and posibly the last came in.

"Female, 30s, her heart is stopped, we've been trying to bring her back for 2 minutes and 14 seconds."

"She's mine!" They both yelled at the same time grabbing the stretcher.

"Let her go Nara! I saw her first!"

"Yeah, well-"

"She's dying, you infants!"

"Right! Let's go!" The ran with the strathcer in the first trauma room and proceeded with the treatment. A nurse did a central line, a doctor was sitting in the back carefully watching every move the interns made. Nara and Haruno stopped fighting and started working together.

"Hand me the paddles!" Haruno yelled. The nurse gave her the defibrillator which, when positioned on either side of the heart, releases a therapeutic dose of electrical energy in order to start the heart again. "Charge to 300!"

"Charging!"

"Clear!" She yelled before placing the paddles on her chest sendind an eletric shock to the heart. Nothing! "Charge again!"

"Charging!"

"Clear!" Nothing!

"This is not working! I'm opening her!" Sakura put the paddles down and took the scalpel.

"Are you crazy?" Yelled Shikamaru who up until now was sitting back, letting Sakura do her thing.

"Nara move back! Haruno put some pressure on the scalpel, the skin is a tough organ." The doctor stepped forward and supported Sakura. She was sweating. Dispite her fear and confusion, her hand was stable. In the backround you can hear voices and the continuous beep of the machines. She was slowly tuning them out.

Here she goes! She cuts through the skin first few drops of blood coming out. She's cutting deeper and deeper until she doesn't need the scalpel anymore.

"Retractors!" She stretches her hand and the nurse places a retractor in her hand. She placed it in the new incision and now the heart was right there in her sight. It was amazing! She never expeienced such a feeling before. The source of life right in front of her. It was huge!

"Give me the internal paddles and charge to 20."

"Charging!" This time the paddles had a strange shape, they looked like spatulas.

"Clear!" The electrical shock came over the heart again but nothing! "This is not working!" She yelled while massaging the heart! "Someone take over massaging the heart for me, I need to give her a shot of cardio epi."

"I got it!" Nara finally found something he could do.

Haruno moved over letting Shikamaru take over the heart, she grabbed the shot and shoved it into the victim's chest. Only, she didn't get the heart.

"Ouch!" She got Nara's hand.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Everything stopped for a moment! The beeping, the noise, it all stopped! She was getting dizzy.

"Go take care of him, I'll take over the patient!" The doctor yelled to Haruno who finally snapped out of it and ran to Nara who was out, cold on the floor. The nurses were coming over, he now had an oxygen mask on his face. "Um...give me the paddles and charge to 300."

"Charging!"

"Come on, Nara! Don't die on me! Clear!" And shock! He was back, grasping for air. Sakura removed his mask and he, while gasping, managed to say something.

"You crazy bitch! You almost killed me!" With that he sat back down on the floor and tried to breathe normally. Sakura didn't care about the insults, she was just glad she didn't kill anyone. Behind her though, the patient was already seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Hey guys!" It's lunch break. Or at least that's what the interns think because they all gathered in the cafeteria eating.

"Hey Sakura, how's the internship treating ya?" Ino asked chewing a fry. She sat at the table with Nara, who was feeling better now but was still under observation, Sasuke and Naruto.

"It's quite...interesting. You?" She sat down slowly still shaking.

"Interesting my ass, she almost killed me!" Shikamaru said calmly.

"Yeah, we heard. The nurses have a big mouth."

"Let's not talk about it, It was an honest mistake." She drank from her water, it made her feel better.

"You did better than that chubby guy, what was his name?" Sasuke butted in.

"Choji? What did he do? Actually killed someone?" Shikamaru glared at Haruno. All she could do was glare back.

"No. Apparently he threw up on the patient. The relatives threatened to sue so he was fired." Naruto told the story.

"Seriously?"

"And then there were ninteen."

After a moment of silence among the five Sakura finally spoke. "Guys, are you...scared?" They all looked at her with no expression on their face and at the same time answered.

"All the time."
