Ugh, or not. Why? Why is it morning now?! "Sorry kit. You were in too much pain so I knocked you out." "Eh?! Knocked me out?! How bad was it this time?!" "Nearly all your bones were broken and you had massive lacerations. Then there was the stab through the lung." "Don't say that nonchalantly! I mean thanks for the help but you laid it on a little thick there Tou-San." "Meh." Ugh. "Sometimes, you annoy me." "Good to know kit." "Where are we anyway? This isn't my apartment or the street." "Er...well..." "Tou-San?" What's with the sheepishness? "I guess you'll find out in a minute anyway." "Hey! Don't leave me hanging!" "Naruto-Kun? Are you awake?" Oh dear kami no. "Naruto-Kun?" She's really close! Wait, does that mean I'm in here bed? "Perv." "Am not!" "Are too." "Naruto-Kun?!" "Am not!" "Naruto-Baka!" "Are too." "I am not damn it!" "Naruto-Kun?" Hey, when did she get here? "Huh? Oh! Sorry Pinkie." Stupid fox! Don't you growl at me! It's your own fault. "I-It's fine. How are you feeling?" Huh? I never even checked. Deep breath. "OH DEAR KAMI!" Ok, no deep breaths. "I-I'll go get my mum. She can help." She runs off, leaving me. Sigh. Used to it. I'll go and ask Kaka-Jiji for a hand. At least he won't freak out that all my cuts are gone. "Good plan kit. Besides, I don't like this chick. She seems vein." "I wonder how she would react to that?" "Does it matter? Get going before she comes back." "Good point. Away we go!" "Such a child." "That's literally what I am. Besides, who's the one who started the classic 'am too am not' fight?" "...Just hurry up and get to Kakashi's. You can't run for long with a punctured lung." "Very true." What an interesting day this will be.
"Kaka-Jiji!" Wow. That is just above my normal voice. And I'm panting quite a bit. This is a new experience for me. "Naruto? What are you doing here?" "I need your help." Cough cough. I now know what Tou-San meant. The door opens to a mask-less Kaka-Jiji. Imagine if some walked by right this second. There would be a death on our hands. "Hey Jiji. Mind if I come in?" I try a smile but I'm going to assume he can see the pain I'm in considering the worry on his face. "What the hell happened?" He pulls me in, which hurt a LOT, and sits me down on his couch. "Apparently I was beaten until most my bones were broken, I had many cuts and a stab through the lung. The lung is the bitch right now." He gapes at me before gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. "You should be in the hospital then." "Yeah right. You know as well as I do that there is only one nurse there that would help me and she wouldn't be enough to help." "And you think I am much better?!" "Well, yeah. You've done this before. Plus, you are completely and utterly awesome." I grin and he sighs. I win this fight. "Fine, I'll call Guy for help." Yay! Guy-Sensei! I haven't spoken to him in ages! He's been busy with his own team. Wait doesn't that mean...
Yup. "Wow! His youth kept him going this long on one lung! Impressive!" I want, to punch him, SO bad. "Shut up Lee! Naruto-Kun, are you okay?" Do I seem like it? I mean, there's a fucking hole in my chest. "Just chipper thanks." Kaka-Jiji chuckles before walking over with Guy-Sensei. "Naruto. I must admit that Lee is right. Your youth has kept you going with a single lung. That is quite impressive." I smile at him and he gives me a thumbs up. He's so cool. Not as cool as Jiji though. "It is his fate to die here." Wow. "Lay it on thick why don't ya. Hey, I know! Next time you fight someone, I'll call it fate for you to get your ass handed to you, how does that sound?" Everyone but Grouchy chuckles. Then Tenten applies some cream to my chest and I scream out in pain. It hurt alright?! "Sorry Naruto-Kun." "Meh, it's not your fault Bun-Chan." "Bun-Chan? What a youthful nickname! Please come up with one for me!" He bows a little and I feel compelled. "Hm...Spandex-Kun or Bushy Brows?" Bun-Chan giggles and I smile. I like it when girls giggle. It makes them sound innocent. "I like Spandex-Kun." Really Jiji? Interesting. "It means you can call Guy Spandex-Sensei." Oh! I never thought of that! Nice one. "I like calling him Guy-Sensei though..." Hm. Maybe... "How about Lee-San?" Lee-San looks ecstatic. Good for you Bushy Brows! Oh, I'm still going to call him Bushy Brows in my head. Too good and fitting a name to pass up. "What are you going to call Neji then?" "Grouchy." Instant reply for the win.
Oh wow, Grouchy looks piiiiissed! "I don't have time for-" "It is your fate to walk out of here." Silence. I realise that may have been uncalled for but, I couldn't pass it up. Now he's torn, he he~. Poor Grouchy-Chan. Now he feels like he'll lose if he leaves. What I find funny is that he has to leave at some point, which will indeed end with him walking out. How small someone's mind can be sometimes. Sigh. "Naruto, play nice." Eh? "What?! Ok, for one Jiji, he started this whole fate malarky, and two, I'm not playing. Never have." Oh, Jiji, not the sad face again! Why? Why must you use that in all our arguments? Unfair, cheating piece of- "To be fair Kakashi, he isn't wrong." Hm? "How so Guy-Sensei?" "Well, he has to leave at some point right? Which will involve walking." Yes! Thank you Guy-Sensei! "Tsk. I don't care for this." Oh, there he goes. "Neji-Kun?! I-I'm sorry Naruto-Kun, Kakashi-Sensei. Neji-Kun wait!" "Bye Bun-Chan!" "Good bye Naruto. May we fight someday." Fight? Why does he want to fight? We're on the same side. Ugh. Bushy Brows, you confuse me. "I hope we were of some help Kakashi. Farewell for now! I must chase my students with the power of youth!" "Bye Guy-Sensei!" Over enthusiastic wave that he can't see, GO! "Naruto." Uh oh. "Yes Jiji?" "...Straighten up so I can bandage you." "Ok Jiji."
Wow, that took longer than expected. At least I'm almost completely healed now though. And of to the will reading I go. I know I shouldn't. I have no right to anything after all. But, it was Granny's dying wish so, sue me. Doopy doopy doo, walking along, singing a song, doopy doopy doo~. Oh hey, Ducky. "Hey Ducky!" He spins around and, oh, is that a smile~? Wow, I'm really happy for some reason. "Because you're not dead or in pain?" "Hm...Probably." "Hi Naruto. Where are you going?" "To a will reading. It's my first time so I'm kinda nervous." "Want me to come with you?" "Won't that just bring up painful memories?" Yup. Can see it on your face Ducky. "No, I'll be fine." "Nope. I'm going solo." "What?" "I'll go by myself. It's no biggie. I was going to do it this way from the start after all." Oh, there's the building. "Sorry Ducky, this is it. Talk to you later." "Yeah." Deep breath. And prepare for the worst. "Ready Tou-San?" "You bet Kit."
Wow. I thought there would be more people. At least I can see Tom. Though, he's scowling at me something rotten. That's a good point, where's Super-Kun? Is he on a trip? Maybe. He was the sea loving kind. "May I have your attention?! Thank you. Today is the will reading of Kukoro...no surename." Oh Granny. Even playing jokes beyond the grave. "Let's start then shall we? The first item is her home in..." I'm just gonna, zone out for now.
"...Now, the briefcase in front of me is probably confusing some of you. Now I can explain." Really? We're at the briefcase already? "In this case is approximately forty thousand Ryo." Holy crap Granny! That's insane! Everyone's chattering like they're accusing Granny of stealing or something. What a family she had. "And the case and it's holdings are to be given by hand to a Naruto Uzumaki." Huh?! "This is an outrage! He's not even related!" Neither are you. "That does not matter. If it is in her will, than it's what must happen. Can Mr. Uzumaki please step forward." All of the hate filled stares. Bring 'em! I can handle it. "That's me." He looks skeptical. "Oh, you." Why thank you for recognising me. Please be a kind gentleman and keep Granny's wish. "Just take it and leave before someone gets hurt." Wow. I don't know if he was talking about me or everyone else. Maybe both? Who knows. Let's just do as he says and forget about them.
Stupid Granny! I'm just a kid! What am I supposed to do with...this... Ok, I know. "That's a nice thing to do Kit." "Well, these kids deserve better than I got." "No one deserves what you get." "Meh." "Ugh. Sometimes Kit, you annoy me." "Good to know." "Erm, excuse me?!" "Yes?" "I have a donation." "Oh, splendid! How much and do you want your name putting down?" "No and thirty thousand." Wow, where'd her bottom jaw go? Oh, there it is~! "Thirty...thousand?!" "Eyup." "T-Thank you sir!" I hand her the money and walk away. Now to give the rest to the hospital and go home to sleep. Today was too long. I need at least twenty four hours of sleep now. "No need to be dramatic." "I was stabbed through the lung! I'm allowed to be dramatic!" "Well, true but, not that dramatic." Yeah, whatever. I'm still going to sleep the night and day away. Good night reader!
