When Konohamaru wakes up, he finds that he has been in a coma for a year and that the Leaf Village has been moved somewhere else. And now he has to redo his training as a Genin while living with Naruto, Kakashi, and Anko. And to make it all better, the Konohamaru Corps have been disbanded and he's stuck with a new team and sensei.

Autumn Falls

Chapter 2

I woke up that morning miserable, the events of yesterday flooding into my mind. Was I just bad luck? First it was my grandpa, then my uncle, and now my parents. Life just sucks. I was still moping around when Naruto strolled in. I don't know what it is about him, but when Naruto walks into a room, you can't help looking at him. His outfit had changed from what I remember: Now he wore a black tanktop with three orange stripes near the ribs that made it look like he had been mauled by a bear. He also wore a pair of orange and black shorts. His hair was a bit longer too.

"Yo." He said. I couldn't think of how to respond. My brain was numb from grief. Naruto frowned at my expression and then layed back on my bed so that he could see out the window. I did the same. I had noticed a while ago that Naruto always seemed to do stuff for a reason, even if nobody (not even himself) knew what it was.

"I don't wanna keep goin' without them." I finally said. Even though the window was closed, it felt as if we were outside; it was warm, peaceful, calm...just like our new village.

"So are you just gonna sit here and waste away like you did all last year?" Naruto asked. I turned my head to look at him and at the same time he turned to look at me. Then we both looked back at the ceiling.

"That sounds...really boring. But...my mom kept telling me that when I passed the Chunin Exams, me, her, Asuma, and grandpa would go to the Hokage Mountains and eat on grandpa's nose." I laughed a little bit. It was weird, seeing myself all excited about something so small. If I had wanted to, I could have done that by myself. But the thought of going with my whole family, that seemed so exciting.

"Well, sometimes, you gotta keep holding on and see what happens in the end. Oh yeah, and you have physical therapy in about an hour." Naruto said as he got up and left. Once he left, I curiously glanced at the floor. Slowly, I put my feet onto the wooden floor. They were shaky, but I managed a few steps before I collapsed. Before I had even hit the ground, Naruto had caught me.

"Sorry, forgot about that." He said sheepishly. I returned the grin. It was kind of annoying, having to be either carried everywhere or held by the hand like I was two. Naruto showed me around the two-story house a bit and then showed me the bathroom. I had clothes already on the counter, ready to wear. The bathroom was just small enough so that I could walk a few steps and then use the bathtub or counter to hold myself up.

"Damn." I groaned once I took off my shirt. My abs were gone. Not that I had any to begin with, but still all the hard work was gone. I decided on a bath. After a few minutes of cleaning myself, I got dressed in the new clothes. They had gotten me a silver shirt with gold Konoha symbol's stitched on the shoulders and a pair of dark blue pants. I liked the shirt, but the pants were kind of plain by comparison. Grabbing the old hospital robes, I wobbled out. When I opened the door, Naruto was standing there.

"Ready?" He asked looking towards the stairs.

"What do I do with these?" I asked holding up my old clothes with one hand and using the other to lean on the counter.

"Just leave 'em in there. Either Kakashi or Anko will get around to them." Naruto said. I messily folded the clothes and put them on the counter. Naruto then lifted me onto his back.

"You wanna go like this, or what?" He asked me. Well, if I go around on someone's back, it's obvious I've been injured. If I walk around holding someone's hand....

"I'll go like this."

"Thought so." As we walked to Tsunade's office, Naruto told me about the pilgramage to the new village. Apparently, we were still in the Fire Country, but now we were more north. Apparently, this was so that it would be easier to watch out for Oto, Kumo, and Iwa: three large enemies (of course with Orochimaru gone, Otogakure wasn't that much of a threat). According to Naruto, we had actually only lost about seventeen people in the attack. Of course, hundreds more were injured or at critical level, but with Tsunade overseeing the medical operations, they were fine.

"We're here." Naruto said. I gazed up at the Hokage's...castle? That's mostly what it resembled: It was carved into the mountain (Naruto ensured me that Tsunade did most of the work to relieve her stress) and an unnecessarily large amount of stairs led up to a fancy door, made of rock.

"Geez, this place really resembles Iwa, huh?" I asked yeah, Naruto gave another sheepish grin.

"Yeah, I guess it does, huh. But anyway, let's go." Naruto said as he braced both of us. He then ran up the nearly vertical column of stairs and then had me knock at the door. I frowned because the muscles in my arm were still weak. Tsunade's helper, Shizune, welcomed us in.

"Hey, ya ready?" Tsunade asked once me and Naruto stepped into the living room. For a Hokage, the living room was plain. It simply consisted of a bright red rug in the middle of a bright room and four large cushioned chairs.

"Yes ma'am." I said. Tsunade smiled. Not a 'I'm glad you're here Konohamaru' smile but more of a 'I'm going to enjoy making these next few weeks hell for you Konohamaru' smile. I looked at Naruto, who gave me a 'dude, you're fucked' smile and Shizune wasn't in the room.

"Good-bye Naruto." With no further inclination, Naruto gently put me in a chair and then left the building.

Ugh my updates are terrible. I wish I could do this stuff at school, it'd be so much easier (my school blocks ). But anyway, that's no excuse for my terrible updating. I will now do 500 one-finger push-ups followed by 27 laps around the state, yosh! -btw please review, thank you-
