Alex returns to the village and tell Tsunade about his eye and he learns it might be able to be fixed. Alex also gets sent on another mission.
Chapter 28 Start
Finally arrived at the leaf village. As I walked towards the hokage's building to report back I noticed people were looking at me. I was guessing it was the patch I had over my eye, when I left I didn't have it so I guess it was noticeable. As I was about to walk in to the building I heard a voice.
"Alex!" I turned and saw Sakura was coming towards me.
"Hey Sakura!"
She got to me then saw the patch "What is that for Alex?"
"Something happened on the mission."
"What?"
"Are you going to see Tsunade?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll tell you both when we get there."
"Fine."
I knocked on the door and heard Tsunade tell us to come in. Sakura walked in ahead of me.
"Oh Alex your back." I nod
"So what was the mission details they gave you?"
Better to not tell her about the ninja "I had to save two girls taken from their mother."
"I see. Who took them?"
Damn looks like there is no avoiding it. "Rouge ninja."
"Alex?"
"Yeah?"
She sighed "What rank mission do you think that would be?"
"An A or S rank."
"Exactly. What did I say to do if it was one of those?"
"To come back to the village and get reinforcements."
She slammed her fist into the table "YES AND YOU DISOBEYED A DIRECT ORDER WHICH COULD HAVE GOT YOU KILLED!"
"I'm not dead."
"You still disobeyed me!"
"If I didn't hurry who knows what would have happened. They were being tormented in the prison, thin how two nine year old girls could stand that!"
"They were only nine..." Sakura said from beside Tsunade.
"Alex! You put your life at risk, but I guess you did the right thing. Just don't do it again.
"All right."
"Alex, did you find any leads on how to get home?"
I realized I forgot about home for a bit "No, nothing."
"One more thing. What happened to your eye?"
"It got cut by the leader of the rouges."
"Let me see."
I took the patch off and showed her.
"It looks fine."
"It got healed but I can't see out of it."
"There might be a way to fix your sight."
"How?"
"It would require surgery but I think we could do it."
"Can you?"
"When would you want the operation?"
"As soon as possible!"
"Then let's go to the hospital now."
*Two Days Later*
My left eye was burning under a bandage. Tsunade said the operation was a success but I didn't know the pain I would have to go through. I was at home just lying on my bed trying to endure the pain.
"Hurts?"
"WHAT DO YOU FUCKING THINK!"
"You're mad."
"YOUR ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS!"
"I'm tying to take your mind off the pain."
"Your failing." I said calming down.
"Can you not do something to take your mind off of the pain?"
"It will be over tomorrow."
"Even if the bandage is off it still might hurt."
Tsunade told me to go back to the hospital in three days and we would see how it was doing.
"I know it might still hurt but it should be fine tomorrow."
"We'll have to see if it is."
*The next day*
I went to the hospital and Tsunade was already there.
"Come, with me Alex." I followed her to a room
"All right let's see if your eye is better." She took the bandage off and I could see out the eye again and the pain faded as well.
"It worked!" I said
"Good now you can see out both."
"Yeah!"
"Alex?"
I looked at her "Let me guess...another mission."
"Yeah, if your up for it."
"Of course I am."
We returned to her office and she explained the mission.
"You are needed at a town called, Nanamake. Reports say they are bring attacked by some sort of creature at night but some say they have seen a unknown men around these times as well. You are to find and eliminate the threat."
"Understood!"
"You may go."
I left the village and looked at my map, the town I was going to wasn't to far away, I should be there within half an hour or so. But what type of creature are they talking about...Guess I will find out when I get there.
I had arrived at the village and saw no one was around. I walked into the village then heard something behind me. I turned and saw a man pointing a pitchfork at me, and his hands were shaking. I heard more noises around me and saw more people with various tools around me (Where did they come from?) .
"Calm down. I'm here to help you."
A woman with long red hair and gold eyes came towards me "Your from the leaf village correct?" I nod "I am the leader of this village and we need your help taking out the creature that attacks at night."
"Any chance you know where it comes from?"
"The hills." She said pointing towards a cluster of hills
"So it comes from there."
"That's where you would most likely find it."
"All right I'll head there then."
The hills were easy to look around and the cave near the base of one was easily seen. I walked into the cave and my eyes took a second to adjust to the dim light. I saw furniture craved out of stone, Chairs, a table, a counter, even a bed. Then my eyes went towards the middle of the room and I saw stairs. I looked to the top and saw a man sitting there on a stone chair. When he saw me he smiled and said cheerfully,
"A visitor! Can't say I get many of them."
"Hi."
"Can I help you young man?"
I got a look at him, brownish blond hair, ragged clothes but the thing I noticed the most were his sliver eyes that seemed like they were concealing something.
"Yeah. Have you heard about the creature that attacks Nanamake at night?"
"I've heard of it?"
"But you have never seen it at all?"
He looked at me intensely "No, not at all."
"Well I just assume since you lived in the hills you knew something?" I said tying to get more out of him, He just stared at me and I saw something spark in his eye.
"You know more then your letting on admit it!" I said to him
All of a sudden his eyes change and a blast of energy forces me back. He looked at me and let out an animal howl.
"This energy seems familiar..." I said
"Stop daydreaming and attack."
"Don't worry I won't di-" I stopped as I realized something
"What's wrong?"
"This charka...I know where I felt it before."
"Where?"
"This charka is the same as mine...It is...An elemental beast's Charka!"
