Why me?
"Why me? Why do I have to be sick today, of all days!" Naruto sighed and fell back onto cot-like mattress. Today was the 4th Hokage's birthday, and everyone in the Leaf Village were going to attend a feast in the 4th's honor. Naruto had just learned that his father was the 4th Hokage, and thought it would be awesome to go to the feast. But sadly, he was sick. "This isn't an ordinary cold." Naruto sighed to himself. "If it was, Kurama (the nine tailed demon fox imprisoned inside of him" would heal me. Unless..." Naruto stopped talking to himself and trailed off into thoughts. Every once in a while, Naruto would have a coughing fit that left him with a sore, scratchy throat. Finally, Naruto drifted off into fevered dreams about the villagers lifting him up one second, then chasing him the next.
"Where is that Naruto!?" Sakura practically yelled. "Who knows where he is." Sasuke replied in a bored tone. Kakashi just sat there, deep in thought. "Hmmmm. Naruto wouldn't miss a training session now that the old Team 7 is back. Unless he was preparing something or he was sick." Kakashi thought. Kakashi mentally scratched off the last thing, stating "Naw, Naruto can't get sick, not with the Nine-Tails inside of him. He must be planning something. Oh yeah. Naruto just learned that his father was the 4th Hokage, so he must be planning something big to honor his father. Yeah, that's it." Kakashi stated in his head. "All right team. Time to start training." Kakashi stated in a matter-of-fact sort of way ."But what about Naruto?" Sakura questioned. "Is he sick?" Sasuke asked. Though he hated to admit it, Naruto was Sasuke's best friend, and Sasuke thought that Naruto was like a younger brother to him. "No Sasuke, Naruto can't be sick, since the Nine-Tails is trapped inside him. He's probably putting something special together, since he just found out that the 4th is his father." Kakashi explained in his "don't you ever think this over" voice. Little did they know that right when they began training, Naruto sat straight up in bed a sprinted to the toilet to throw up all he had in him.
"Ugh!" Naruto grunted as he pulled himself off ground, using the sink as extra support. "I HATE BEING SICK!" Naruto yelled to himself mentally, before stumbling to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. "Kid, quit your yelling. I'm trying to fix you, but this bug isn't any ordinary bug." Kurama stated, causing Naruto to jump and drop his glass. The glass broke into thousands of pieces, some landing on Naruto's feet, causing little slash marks all over, which eventually started to bleed. "OWWW! Kurama why'd you have to scare me like that? Now I have to clean it up. Also, now my feet hurt, as do my head and stomach. Why did you call me here anyways?" Naruto asked, now taking a look at his surroundings. It was where Kurama was imprisoned. "Look kid, I just wanted to let you know that I'm here if you need me. Also, this bug seems to be traveling through your chakra system." Kurama stated. "WHAT! Well, fix it!" Naruto screamed hoarsely at the Nine-Tails. "Sorry kid. Looks like this is up to you to fix." Kurama stated, before sending Naruto back to reality.
"When will this training end?!" Sasuke asked himself, though he didn't dare ask Kakashi Sensei. This was probably the most boring training Team 7 had to deal with. "Again Sasuke. This time, add more chakra to it." Kakashi yelled over his book. "Sakura, attack Sasuke again, and this time, don't hold back." Kakashi repeated the instructions. They had been through this training multiple times, but Kakashi never ask Sakura to go full strength. Sasuke, to say that he was scared, was an understatement. He was shaking on the inside, but of course, he had to put on the cool guy act. "Whatever." Sasuke stated in a bored voice. "BEGIN!" Kakashi yelled, and Sakura sprinted towards Sasuke, and Sasuke dodged. It went on like this for 10 minutes, before Sasuke let his guard down for one second, and BAM! He felt a rush of pain under his chin, and saw that he was flying over Kakashi, and landed face first on the hard ground. "SASUKE!" Sakura screamed, when she saw what she did. By the time she was over there, Kakashi was already sitting Sasuke up. "SASUKE! I'm so sorry! Do you need to go to the hospital!" Sakura asked worriedly. "No, I'll be fine." Sasuke stated as he stood up. Right when he stood up, his eyes rolled back into his head, and he collapsed.
