Third person POV

Upon opening his eyes, Naruto saw Sasuke and the rest of his team. For some reason, when he saw Sakura Naruto immediately wanted to rip her limbs off and feast on her organs.

Sasuke was visibly trying not to sprint to the side of the hospital bed but he walked swiftly to Naruto's side. When Naruto looked at him, he didn't feel anything. Well, aside from the slight bit of anger if he looked at his eyes, but it was small enough that he could suppress it.

"Hey! I healed all your wounds so you can go get us some food now! Preferably ramen if you would be so inclined." Kyuubi sang in his head.

'Shut up. I don't want ramen. I could go for some barbecue though.' Naruto said to him. 'Thanks for healing me though.'

"Naruto?" Sakura said tentatively. "Hey, are you in there?"

Her words pulled the blond out of his short conversation with his tenant. Just as Sakura put her hand out to shake him, he lashed out with a clawed hand.

He had almost hit her when Kakashi stepped in, and blocked the sudden attack.

"Naruto, what are you doing?!" he demanded.

Naruto just growled at him and jerked his hand out of Kakashi's grip.

Sasuke looked at Naruto, worry etched into his face. 'Why did Naruto lash out like that?' he asked himself 'Last time I checked, Naruto was fawning over Sakura.'

Naruto abruptly moved out of the bed and towards the window. His back never facing his team.

"Naruto, what's going on?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto's eyes narrowed as a growl sneaked out between his teeth. "There's nothing going on, Sasuke. I just want to get something to eat."

The raven raised a delicately carved brow before speaking, "Obviously, there is something going on. The Naruto I know would never attack Sakura like you just did." a smirk appeared on his face in victory.

Naruto's face contorted in a feral snarl.

"Now why don't you tell us the first thing you want to do after you get something to eat, eh? Naruto?" the raven continued.

'Damn you, Uchiha! Once I get something to eat I will devour your flesh and roast your organs over a spit!' Naruto thought.

If you could see inside Naruto's mind, you could see a chibi Naruto tearing a chibi Sasuke apart while another chibi Naruto was turning the spit where the Ravens organs were roasting. After a few minutes, the first chibi Naruto started laughing maniacally while Kyuubi just got a giant sweat drop on the back of his head.

Apparently, Naruto started laughing out loud, causing everyone in the room to slowly back away from him.

"He's cracked." the former team seven, excluding Naruto, said, each with a sweat drop on the back of their heads.

Naruto then noticed the others again and gave them a feral grin. It looked rather bloodthirsty and demonic, although the demonic part was probably because Naruto was leaking small quantities of red chakra.

"Now then....I think I will go get something to eat." The demon vessel moved toward the window before pausing. "Although...I could just get something to eat here...but then the elders will ride my ass about it and then I'll have to leave...meh I'm not going to deal with that." he muttered then proceeded to jump out the window.

"Ramen? Please?" Kyuubi asked again. (A/N: God Kyuubi! Obsession much?)

'For the last time...NO!' Naruto yelled at the fox demon.

"Please, please, please, please, please, please, please!!!! Just one bowl! C'mon Naru-Chan! One single bowl!"

'If I say yes will you shut up about it?'

Kyuubi's eyes turned bright, "YES!"

'Fine then, but were getting it after I get my barbecue.' Naruto said and ended the conversation.

Back in the hospital room, the rest of team seven was discussing what to do with Naruto.

"Well, we could always just tie him up and put him in a room for a week with a drunk Hinata." Sakura said.

"Hn. That wouldn't work. Naruto doesn't play for that team." Sasuke said.

"I already knew that." Kakashi said with his visible eye in a half moon.

"Then I don't have anymore ideas." Sakura said. (A/N: OMG did she not freak out about that?!)

"I think we should just let wait it out. If we wait, then maybe Orochimaru's doings will be reversed." Kakashi said.

"That's probably the best way to handle things. And if nothing happens then we can always resort to other things." Sakura said.

Sasuke nodded. 'Damn you Orochimaru. I swear, if this doesn't get fixed then I will hunt you down and kill you again!'

"So are we just going to leave him alone or do we stalk him?" Sasuke asked.

"I think we should keep tabs on him. I don't think that stalking is necessary. Besides, Naruto can handle himself." Kakashi said.

"Hit me again!" said blond said just before sneezing.

So far Naruto was on his fifth order of barbecue. Altogether that was about sixty pieces of meat and ten bowls of rice he had eaten.

"How can he eat so much?!" someone in the crowd that had formed around the Jinchuuriki.

'Life is good. I got myself some barbecue, I'm gonna go train and after that I'll get a bowl or two of ramen.' Naruto thought to himself as he downed another bowl of rice.

"Yep! Nothing better then this!" Inside of his cage, Kyuubi was eating out of a large pet bowl full of miso ramen. "All we need now is a suitable mate and a good den!"

'Yep...wait....MATE?!' Naruto shouted and paused in his eating.

A/N: well thats it for this chapter. Again sorry it took me so long. Damn viruses. But heres the story with that. I downloaded a virus thinking that it was a virus protection software, but it turned out to just slow my computer down and mess everything in my comp up. Then I got AVG and it helped a lot, but then somehow another fake virus protection got downloaded and I deleted it immediately. If any of you reading this has MALWARE DEFENDER on your comp, get rid of it!!!! IT WONT PROTECT YOUR COMP!!! GET AVG AND HAVE IT SCAN YOUR COMP AND WHEN IT PUTS THAT IN THE VIRUS VAULT, DELETE THE FILES!!!!

anyway....that ends my little rant and gives you my excuse for not updating soon!

Ja ne!
