Chapter 8 – Poisoned
Naruto slumped against the bathroom sink and Kyubbi scoped him up, cuddling him to his chest thinking he must have really worn him out as Naruto was starting to get pale. Naruto yawned softly, purring as Kyubbi walked out of the bathroom about to take the tired blond to their room, but stopped when he saw Kat. She had sat up and was currently reaching for the blond, her folder lay forgotten on the dark red blankets. He sat Naruto down gently beside her and she pressed her chakra into the blond. Instantly he did the same, able to see more by mixing his chakra with that of his host.
Finding the chakra that was off near the spot Naruto had been poking at earlier, Kyubbi pointed it out to Kat. Carefully moving Naruto's head, frowning when it rolled to the side, she leaned in to press her nose to the spot and breathed in. "Sasuke," was the only word that came out of her mouth. Kyubbi roared; Naruto whimpered.
Everyone else in the house came running at the brutal yell, including Sasuke who just came back from training with Kakashi. Sasuke ran up to stand behind Sakura and Neji, looking over his should to see Naruto's face tucking up against Sandy's chest. Gaara sand was wrapped around an enraged Kuro while Kat blocked what would have been the perfect view of his Naruto. "What's going on?" Sasuke asked his teammates. "Naruto's sick, they claim he's got chakra poisoning," Sakura whispered barely over a hoarse cry coming from Kuro. It pleased Sasuke to see the redhead in this situation, till what Sakura said sank in, "Chakra poisoning?" "It's when a foreign chakra is pushed into a wound of someone unwilling to accept it. It's one of the reasons why medical ninjas have to ask permission first unless the victim is unconscious and therefor passive of the chakra," Neji explained, "I can see it, it's on his neck. But they won't let us pass here. We sent for Tsunade, she should be here soon."
Tsunade barged in at that moment, "Move outa my way!" Sasuke, Neji, and Sakura complied, but Tsunade couldn't enter the door because of a barrier. "God damn it, put the barrier down before I break it!" Yet the barrier remained, in fact, the door closed on Tsunade's face as well and the four of them were left to wait out side no matter how much Tsunade beat against the door.
"Kyubbi, calm down!" Kat snapped in demonish. For once Kyubbi obeyed the order. "It'll be okay and its not so much it would kill him, he'll be fine in about a week without added help." Gaara released the other redhead and Kyubbi scoped him out to sit on his lap while he himself sat beside Shukaku and Naruto. Shukaku gently scratched Naruto's back, making him purr like a kitten and Kyubbi smiled softly. "I know he'll be fine, but I swear Sasuke's going ta die!" Kyubbi screamed at the door in demonish. Gaara reached back and tugged Kyubbi hair, hard. "Ow! You brat!" Kyubbi claimed as he started to tickle the sand user.
"Well, isn't this a sight to see?" Temari said just before Tsunade ran into the barrier that Temari just walked though. She closed the door and sat down on the window seal to watch the boys. Kat had just pulled the blankets over the naked blond before Temari entered. "So Sas-gay got to him?" she asked softly, everyone nodded. "So what do we do?" "We kept him away from everyone, give him lots of blood, and more demon food till he's better," Kat stated. Temari nodded and left only to come back with what those dumb shinobi out side thought was ham and cheese sandwich. "He doesn't need meat, you dummies, he needs to be seen by someone with medical chakra!" Tsunade called out before the door could shut all the way.
"Here Naruto. I have a nice pig demon sandwich for you," Temari said while handing it to the blond. Personally there is no difference in flavor or the way you cook the demon meat, only difference was how much chakra there was left in the animal or plant. The demons ate it because in the long run it increases their chakra. Temari, having eaten enough of the demon's foods knew it was true. The catch was if you have demon blood in you, you craved the meat and had to have it and that's why many demons attack villages, out of hunger for chakra containing meat. Once there start attacking the humans attack back and the demons eat the chakra using humans too. Kyubbi and Shukaku, as well as most of the other tailed beast, were lured into the village or in the open to be sealed in the Jinjuriki. The only two foods that humans ate that could help starve off the hunger caused by the need for demon foods was ramen and salted tongues; which happens to be Naruto's and Gaara's favorite foods.
Naruto happily munched on the offered sandwich. "Well he doesn't seem to be severely sick," Kat commented, "but he won't be able to use his chakra while his chakra systems are repairing themselves. Luckily our next mission none of us will be able to use chakra till the fight. I have the details in..." Kat frowned unable to find the folder that was sitting on the bed. She checked under the bed and then on all the surfaces. "Ummm... anyone see a vanilla folder?"
Neji flipped though the vanilla folder he found on the floor when he slid in the room that Naruto was in now. Though he couldn't read the odd language, he did know what it was he held in his hand; it was a mission folder. It contained three profiles; Tsunade, Kakashi, and Iruka. He skimmed through the information and was about to tell Tsunade, but Kat burst out of the room, the door hit the wall so hard it slapped into it and stayed. Everyone turned to stare. Naruto was huddling under the blankets, the other three boys as far away from Kat as possible and Temari, sat in a tree outside the window.
She spied the folder in Neji's hands and glowered, making everyone in the now open room cringe. "I suggest you hand me that folder before I decide to kill you." Neji gulped and moved like he was throwing it to her, but tossed it to Tsunade. Kat truly exploded into flames. Tsunade opened the folder and just as she flipped to the pictures it caught fire. Tsunade dropped it and it burned completely.
She looked at Neji and said "If you touch my things anymore, I'll roast you too." over her shoulders she said, "Boys, dress Naruto, we're leaving and, "looking at Tsunade, "we'll be back for the rest of the exams."
Tsunade frowned at the charred remains of the folder "What was in it Neji?" "It had profile pictures of you, Kakashi, and Iruka." "I already had a copy of the information in that folder Neji. I sent Kakashi and Iruka to their village to gain information about the village and anything they could about Naruto's stay there. They were asked to deliver that folder to Kat. I have everyone looking into it." Tsunade rubbed her head like she had a headache. "I guess all we can do now is wait."
~~Two Days Later~~
"Kat," Naruto whines, "It's cold and wet, and Kyubbi won't put me down!" Kat hacked at a tangle of thick vines with her machete and Temari glanced to Naruto who was in fact being carried by Kyubbi, much as Gaara was by Shukaku and her by his sand. "Stop complaining Naruto. "It's the safest way to get by all the trip wires and traps without dieing. Kyubbi and Shukaku's bodies are replaceable, ours aren't." Naruto huffed and crossed his arms while Kyubbi squeezed him against his chest as he leaped over a nasty tangle of wire and explosive tags. "But Naruto... I like holding you," Kyubbi told to boy as he nuzzled his hair. "Besides, you're still ill."
Naruto huffed, "Stupid Sasuke!" Kyubbi smiled down at the blue-eyed blond as he accidentally stepped on a trip wire. "KYUU" Kat yelled, "don't move. Shukaku, get in a tree, Naruto be still." She crouched down to the wire and gave it a slight tug, then followed it to a common log swing then coming back to the two boys. "Okay, Kyubbi, when I say go, jump to where Shukaku is, Gaara, you wrap everyone in a case of sand to keep everyone safe." When she got nods all around she jumped up next to Temari. "Now!"
Kyubbi jumped high and Kat grabbed his hand. Sand wrapped around everyone as the log was sent swinging into a tree setting off a number of traps. "Somebody really didn't want people to make it to the top of this thing" Temari muttered. "No... I didn't. And I think you have made it far enough."
