Jiyra simply stated.. "Naruto do you mind if I look you over, I want to see if you were damaged by the fo...focused chakra that happened. " Jiraiya covered smoothly.. "Are they really that scared to tell me the fox got out?" Naruto mentally sighed but covered his face with his dopey mask and replied "Sure thing pervy-sage but watch where you put your hands" naruto joked.
"Yeah yeah, very funy kid" Jiraiya replied as he and the third went about checking over naruto. They spent quite a while looking him over, spending a lot of time on his hands and head.
"Alright Naruto lift your shirt, I want to examine the seal". Jiraiya said. "Why?" Naruto replied..
"Grr" resounded in his mind "You don't want to show us?" Jiraiya asked slightly worried... Naruto shrugged in a good natured way before lifting his shirt. Jiraiya looked closely at the seal, it was indeed still intact, but a section of it, looked faded almost weather-blown, which concered him greatly until it flared back to life looking perfectly normal... Both men were staring at the seal so they never noticed naruto wince suddenly. "Ouch, stupid fox what did you just do? Felt like you put a senbon in my stomache" "JUST A LITTLE DECEPTION TO KEEP THOSE TWO MONKEYS FROM FLIPPING OUT AND THROWING OUR FURRY BUTTS INTO THE FIRE, YOU COULD ACT A LITTLE MORE GREATFUL!" replied the fox in his mind. "Sorry, but it hurt and startled me, and what's this about OUR furry butts? YOUR butt is furry, mine isn't fuzz ball" Naruto replied. "Whatever you say, now cut the link or those two idiots will be able to see that your distracted"
Jiraiya let out a long breath and looked at the third. "The seal is intact" he annonced. The third looked at him like he grew a second head. While naruto winced at the volume of his voice. "How can you say that Jiraiya? You saw as well as I what happened." "Yet you say the seal is intact?" the third asked.. "Well my thought is that his extreme emotional state over seeing one of his BELOVED people hurt combined with the entity's natural hatred and temporarly overcame the seal. Much like in the land of Wave, but far more intense given the nature of his feelings toward the person injured"Jiraiya stated while giving his student a wink and a thumbs up when he said "BELOVED"
The third sunk into a chair that was in the room Sighing releved, he reached into his robes and pulled out a flask, opening it, he took a very long pull off it. "So Naruto, how do you feel?" "Pretty good Jii, the noise level is much better, and my eyes are ok now, I feel like my clothes are awful tight. And my throat burns a little but other than that I jjust want some ramin!" Naruto replied happily, rubbing the back of his head as his stomache growled. "Wow, when did that happen? I need a hair cut!" he suddenly exclaimed feeling the length of his hair. It was half way down his back!
Jiraiya and the third both chuckled... "Ok, it's still Naruto! OH THANK YOU KAMI!" Thought the third "Ok" said the third to both other men, "we have A LOT OF WORK AHEAD! ANBU!" said the third Suddenly three masked anbu nins appeared bowing before the third "Get me the head of the Yamanaka clan, tell him to make haste!" "and continue to keep the privacy seal on this room".. Naruto looked pleadingly at his semi-grandfather "sigh, and someone get 10 bowls of ramin from Itechiraku's" "what ever it is Naruto usually gets""hai" they collectivly said before vanishing.
There was a knock at the door. When another ANBU looked in "Hokkage-sama, there are an aweful lot of people out here that would like to see Naruto and see how he is!" "I would image that there is however, I don't know if it's such a good idea just yet". "Who are the first 5?" the Anbu told him... "Hmm, yes perhaps just those" he said "but only 1 at a time" "Hai" replied the anbu.. "the door opened and Hinata begain to walk in, she took a look at Naruto and froze, a look of slight worry on her face.. the third walked up and muttered in her ear. "He doesn't know about the changes yet, and I think it would just worry him so try not to say anything about it." what he doesn't know is Naruto heard every word. "What changes? Just cuz I have longer hair, he's scaried I'd flip?" Naruto thought.. "What do you know about this fuzzy?" the fox simply snored. "He's asleep? You gotta be kidding me!" Naruto glanced at Hinata, her face immedatly lost her worried look after the hokkage's words.
"H, how are, are you Nar,uto" Hinata timidly asked. Looking at her feet. "I am fine hinata, I promise" Naruto replied. That did it, the ice broke and Hinata lunged at him pulling him into a tight hug Naruto was shocked for a second then returned it. "I thought... I thought you died... You... have been gone for 2 days.. Then.. I.. Heard... what... happened... at... the... exams... and.. I..thought... you...were...GONE! (A/N: the ... are sobs for those who don't know) The last word she wailed, Naruto forced himself not to wince. He rocked her back and forth in his arms rubbing her back in circles while muttering "shhh, it's ok, I'm alright".. "this kid is a natual with women, ALRIGHT! Hmm, a coma patient that wakes from his slumber suddenly to have the love of his life throw caution and her clothing to the wind as she passionatly embraces him...Hmm" Thought Jiyra
"I bet that student of mine is going to use this touching scene and turn it into some of his smut.. sigh" Thought Sartobi, rubbing his temples. "Hinata... " asked naruto pulling back a little to look at her "You said I have been in here for two days? Is that right?" he asked as she nodded. "So what happened at the exams?" naruto looked at her with confusion, "Cough" the the third made a noise, "that's not really important right now Naruto, all that matters is everyone is ok well except of course for Rock Lee and Neji" he muttered under his looked sad for a second, but then looked Naruto straight in the eye... "Thank you naruto-kun for saving my life!" she said and kissed one of his wisker marks. Sending a very unexpected and POWERFUL sensation down his spine. Naruto turned beet red "Hinata please don't do that in front of pervy-sage and the old man" whined naruto while the third and Jiraiya chuckled. "anytime Hinata, anytime at all" naruto looked embarassed and rubbed the back of his head. "I am so happy that he finally found someone" thought the third.. Jiraiya however "Wait a second, naruto didn't seem shocked at all that he saved Hinata but didn't he say he had no memory of what happened? I hate to think this, but I had better keep a closer eye on this kid, Minato, you were always a good actor. I hope to heaven that your son didn't inherit that aspect of you" He rubbed his chin feeling very tired all of a sudden.
