Sitting in one of the many uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room was an obviously nervous boy by the name of Naruto Uzumaki. He sat in the chair while filling out mindless paperwork that asked him stupid questions that don't even pertain to his health at the moment. He sighed when he was finished, he approached the front desk and handed the clip board to the nurse.
He watched momentarily as she flipped through the paperwork. She looked up from the paperwork and asked politely, "You're only fourteen?"
Naruto was dreading this question but he answered cooly. "Yes."
"Well why aren't your parents with you?" she asked.
"I don't have any, but Kakashi Sensei sent me here with a note. He's not really my dad or guardian, but he's my teacher and I spend more time with him and my team than anyone else, but here's the note." He said as he fumbled in his pocket and finally handed the note to her.
The nurse read it and smiled, "Well, it looks like you're good to go. If you'll please wait a little bit, you see the doctor in a moment."
Naruto smiled slightly and sat down once more. He closed his eyes and thought on the events that occurred that morning.
(FLASHBACK to a couple hours ago.)
"Okay team, today we're taking it easy and just sparing. Sasuke and Naruto will go first." Kakashi said with a smile under his mask. He and Sakura took a seat near a tree with some popcorn.
Naruto rubbed his belly and frowned slightly, he'd woken up this morning with the worst pains he'd ever had in his stomach. He was actually half an hour late because it took all his strength just to stand up, let alone change his clothes and walk out the door.
He and Sasuke approached each other in the open field they used for training and got into the fighting stance. For once Naruto had no smart ass remarks about beating Sasuke that day, but he was quick to try his first jutsu.
"Shadow Clone!" he screamed and watched as Sasuke prepaired for the ten to hundred Narutos he expected to appear. But they were both surprised when no Naruto clones appear, and the real Naruto doubles over on his stomach. 'What the hell?' Naruto screamed in his head. 'What's wrong with me?'
Sasuke took this time to charge, but Naruto caught sight of what was happening and jumped out of the way, laying on the ground on his side. He staggered to a fighting stance again and charged at Sasuke this time, he almost managed to punch him in the chest, but instead he was met with a sharp hit to the gut.
Naruto cried out in pain and fell to the ground in a crouch position, holding onto the shirt with all his might. He found himself throwing up from such extreme pain and he noticed a slight trace of blood. It took all of his strength to not brake down in cry in front of his friend and rival.
He soon passed out and almost fell in his own puke if Sasuke and Kakashi hadn't pulled him up first. "I'll take him home. See the chunks of raman on the ground? It's probably a virus in his system from bad noodles. He'll be okay, but I'll leave him a note to go to the doctor once he wakes up." Kakashi explained as he picked the boy up and walked off.
(END FLASHBACK)
And here he was, five hours later with bruises on his stomach and a sprained ankle. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. He knew this couldn't be a virus because he'd eaten bad noodles before and the pain never lasted this long.
"Uzumaki Naruto?" The nurse called. He jerked his head up. "The doctor will see you now."
"Finally." He sighed as he walked down the hallway to the small office. He sat on the examining table and waited, kicking his legs back and forth.
The doctor walked in after and smiled when he saw Naruto already on the table. He looked at the paper in his hand and said, "Naruto Uzumaki?" Naruto nodded. "I'm Dr. Carter." He and Naruto shook hands briefly. Before he looked at the paper again. "So you have a pain in your stomach?"
"Yes." Naruto replied.
"How long have they been going on?" Dr. Carter asked.
"Well, it's hard to explain. I was sparing about a week ago with my team mate Sasuke, and I got this bruise. It was like any other bruise at first, but normally bruises go away after a day or two. Well this one got bigger as the week progressed. I didn't tell anybody cause I dodn't want to get worked up over nothing, but this morning I could barely stand, and then when I spared with Sasuke, I threw up and passed out." Naruto explained with nervousness.
"So significant pain started today, but the bruise has been growing instead of going away." the doctor repeated. "Could I see this bruise?"
Naruto nodded and took his shirt off, revealing a bruise that took up half his stomach. "It started out this big." he explain as he make a small 'O' with his thumb and index finger.
"I see." the doctor said as he studied the bruise. "I'm going to do a blood test to see what's going on okay?"
Naruto shifted in his seat, "You mean with needles?"
The doctor laughed a little and said, "Yes with needles, but I'll make sure it doesn't hurt too much."
Naruto nodded slightly and sighed to ease his nerves, and before he knew it, the blood was taken and he didn't feel a thing.
"I'll be right back with your results." The doctor said with a smile as he left the room.
(2 hours later)
Dr. Carter walked in to the room to see a paranoid Naruto on the desk. Naruto was almost screaming when he asked, "What the hell took so long?"
The doctor sighed, he had a frown on his face as he took a seat in front of the boy. "Calm down Naruto."
"What's wrong? Why do you have that look like something's wrong on your face?" Naruto demanded.
"Naruto," the doctor began.
