Naruto Part I
Chapter 8: Recovery
The Uzumaki Medical Center is never-ending with patients coming in and out for different reasons. Naruto is the main priority because of multiple injuries suffered from his 100 men battle with the Kumo Ninjas. It took hours for them to operate on him since there are stab marks all over him. They are able to successfully mend and stich up the wounds that would have been worse had they not found him. Kushina they are able to make a diagnosis on her: over exhaustion and a sprain ankle.
They advise to the Uzumaki family that they should take the dark-skinned boy to a private room to let him recover. However the little red-headed princess refuses to part from him; much to the parents reluctancy. The medical staff let it slide since they do have some type of relation thus she moved in with him. All Kushina could is wait and sleep it off for the time being so she laid down on bed next to him. The next day, a nurse came to pull the curtain for light to shine in with a pleasant surprise.
She calls to inform the parents that Naruto has awakened but Kushina is still sleeping. It prompts them to immediately go to the hospital. They arrive and to their surprise, Naruto is awake not looking like he is in any pain with Kushina sleeping quite comfortably close much to her father's displeasure. The two are glad that he is alright as he receives his breakfast and begins chowing down. He finishes only half a meal leaving only for Kushina when she wakes up.
What the both of them did shocked Naruto as they both bow down up to his knee level. Then Kushina came about with a shock look that Naruto is covered in bandages but is alive. She hugs the life out of him with her father cutting to separate them so they can get answers. Kushina's mother then sternly looks at the both of them with the husband joining in. Both children looked at each other as she held his soft but sturdy hand as he tightens it to give her reassurance.
They prepare to tell how it all went down.
