Okay so back again, with Immature for Life. I had started a new story, but my motherboard fried, so now I have to rewrite it. Which, I eventually will do. I thought I might as well update the story that I have already posted online.

Again, sorry for the long waits. I do have other stuff to do. Not that any of you have been bothering me to update. You all have been awesome!


Operation: Tonsilectomy

"Naruto," Sakura sighed for the umpteenth time, "how can you have a sore throat again? It's only been a week since the last one."

It was the third time of the month that Naruto was in the hospital, complaining about a sore throat. Of course he'd always start by barging through the Hokage office, to which Tsunade would choke him. That, of course, didn't help out his throbbing jugular at all.

"I don't know Sakura-chan, I think that virus is out to get me. Maybe I need to sacrifice something as an offering. Like a goat or something?" he stroked his clean-shaven chin, "I'm really desperate though, it hurts real bad!" he said hysterically.

"Calm down Naruto, an sit up on the bed. I need to examine you to make sure your not infected with something worse, like strep throat."

"Strep throat?" he stared at her wide-eyed, his voice barely above a whisper.

She placed her hands firmly around Naruto's neck, to feel for his lymph nodes.

"Ack, Sakura-chan stop, you're choking me!"

She gave him a cute look, "Aw, but I'd never do that to you Naruto," In response, Naruto just grumbled and let her continue.

She then proceeded to take a look at his ears. "Sakura stop, that tickles my ears. Why do you want to look at my ears when my throat hurts."

"Because Naruto, your ears, nose, and throat are connected. So, if something is wrong with your throat, something may be wrong with your ears."

"Oh"

"Yes, now take off your shirt!" Sakura demanded. In her defense, she wasn't as forceful with her other patients, but hell it was fun to get back at Naruto. Plus, the guy had been annoying the hospital staff for three weeks.

He complied, and she blushed. He always made her do that. His six pack was perfectly cut, yet not grotesquely bulging. They were tight and tan, even when he didn't flex. She melted every time he took off his shirt, and damn it all, he was going to take it off every chance he got.

She got out her stethoscope and placed it on his naked torso. He shuddered at the temperature of the device. "Okay keep taking deep breaths." He did as he was told, while she moved the stethoscope around his chest and back.

"Okay Naruto, one last check. Open your mouth and say 'ah' please."

He opened his mouth, "Ah please." He then managed to laugh with his mouth open.

She shined light on the back of his throat, and checked for problems. The removed the light from his mouth and wrote the information on her clipboard. So it was his tonsils, huh. Well he's not going to want to hear this next part then. "I'm afraid we are going to have to remove your tonsils. Apparently Kyuubi's chakra can't fix everything."

He stared at her for half a minute and said, "Come again?"

"We have to take out your tonsils, otherwise you'll get sick again!"

"What do you mean sick, look at me I'm better all ready!" To prove his point he got up and attempted to walk around. Alas, his rapid jump up made him lose the blood in his head. He got dizzy and almost fell down on Sakura, who just caught him and through him back. He had a downcast look, and she just hated to see that.

Sakura rubbed the bridge of her nose and sighed. A new tactical plan was in order, to get him to understand. She cupped both of his cheeks, and tilted his head so he was looking at her. "Listen, baby, I know you are scared, but you have to do this. Otherwise, you'll be coming here a lot more often. I mean c'mon you're burning up." She tucked his head under her chin and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What if something goes wrong, though. Wha-"

She put a finger up to his mouth to silence him. "Don't talk like that. Besides, it's only getting your tonsils out."

"I know, but I'm still scared." He wrapped his arms around her as well and held her tight.

"Don't be. Dr. Takeshi is a great surge-"

"Wait! You're not gonna do the procedure? Not even baa-chan."

"Well, I'm not a surgeon, in this hospital, yet. I'm medical, we diagnose. Shishou (sp?) is both, but she has more needy patients to look after."

"You're not even going to be there," he said looking into her eyes. She could see he felt hurt.

"Well, I'll try." He, then, for a lack of a better word, glomped her. She bopped him on the head, "stop being such a baby too. You've had worse surgery done to you."

"Yeah, but I was always, brought in unconscious, and it was always baa-chan doing the surgery."

"Well, I can take care of the unconscious part," she said deviously cracking her knuckles.

He nervously sputtered, "N-no, it's okay, I feel much better, especially since you are going to be there."

"I said I would tr-" she was about to tell him, but she decided against it. She just calmed him down. "So how are you feeling?"

"My throat still hurts, real bad."

"Aw poor baby, you want a kiss?" he eagerly nodded. "Well your not getting one. You're sick, and you're going to get me sick too." She instead blew a raspberry. She laughed, when he looked down, sulking.

"Sakura, you're mean!" his playful voice, destroying the truth behind his words.


One week later.

"C'mon Naruto we have to go to the hospital!"

"I can't, I was sure about it a week ago, but I just can't do it. It's too scary."

"Naruto you will do the surgery if I have to drag you into it. Do you understand."

"I don't wanna!" he yelled back.

"Don't underestimate me!" She grabbed him by the ear, and fiercely tugged him to the hospital. He was kicking and pushing the entire trip. When they finally arrived, his ear was red and swollen."Listen you can walk into that hospital like the ninja you are, or I can force you to do it like you were a little boy."

"You're right!" he took a deep breath and walked in, "let's do this!" He assumed a tough-guy swagger, and walked into the hospital.

A young nurse walked up to Naruto and gave him a gown and bag, "Here wear this gown, and put your clothes in this bag."

To say Naruto felt exposed in his new clothes would be pretty accurate. "Sakura-chan, I think this gown is missing the back."

"It's supposed to be like that."

"Well, that's stupid. You docs are perverts huh?"

"Shut up!" Sakura pulled out a needle from a nearby drawer.

"Wait! Woah, what are you going to do with that?"

"I'm going to hook you up to an IV"

At this point Naruto was shivering in fear, "Wait hook, I don't like the sound of that."

"Shut up and sit still, the less you move the less it will hurt."

"It's gonna hurt, this blow- ahh! Warning Sakura, is it too much to ask?" He started yelling, then scratching at the IV, that was irritating his arm.

"Would have heard it if you shut up like I told you."

A middle aged man with brown hair and brown eyes walked up to Naruto's bed. He wore round glasses, and a white coat. Under his coat, he wore his green scrubs.

"You must be Naruto, I'm Dr. Takeshi. I will be performing the surgery." He shook Naruto's hand. "Haruno-san has told me all about you." A couple nurses came up and began pulling the bed into the OR. Sakura and Dr. Takeshi walked behind them.

Once inside, the anesthesiologist, placed an oxygen mask on his face, and began preparing the anesthesia. He placed the anesthesia directly into the IV tube, and waited for him to fall asleep. Sakura gave Naruto a reassuring squeeze and kissed him on the forehead before his world went black.


When Naruto woke up he felt a hand gently brushing his hair. He wafted a strawberry scent and he was positive it was emanating, from Sakura. He slowly managed to open his eyes, to see said Kunoichi. "Hey Naruto, how do you feel?"

"Ok, my throat kinda hurts though." His voice came out raspy.

"Well it should actually hurt more than kinda, but I guess that is the power of the Kyuubi."

"This was outpatient, so oyu can leave whenever you are ready."

"Really! Well then what the hell are we waiting for let's leave!" With newfound energy Naruto grabbed Sakura and was about to run out.

"Eh Naruto?"

"Yes?'

"You have to change your clothes."

"Oh yeah duh." he nervously scratched the back of his head.


"Ah, fuck yes! I can believe it! ICE CREAM ALL THE TIME! GLORIOUS ICE CREAM! Fuck me, that's awesome!"

"Yeah Dobe, I heard you scream that shit out for like, thirty-five minutes now. Would you please Shut the Fuck Up!"

"Troublesome," Shikamaru sighed.

"You're just lucky that Ino and Temari have a soft spot for you and they made us take you out for ice cream."

"You wanted to take me admit it Teme!"

"No I didn't"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night bitch."

Should have killed him when I had the chance.


This was inspired by true life. I had to get surgery, except on my nose. The bridge of my nose was crooked and made my air passage smaller, so they straightened that.

Ok thus concludes another chapter. I might make the next one more humorous, by including 'the guys'. I'm kind of in the mood for funny anyways. I tried to make this one have both though. Review and all that. Last time I only got three. Though, one time I got like 7 so yeah, 7 is good. R&R until next time, bye.
