Author's notes: I will not be doing this often in the beginning of my chapters, but I do feel that this might be necessary. I was going to wait and tell some of this info in the story, but it seems that many of you are thinking the same thing. Warning: I am going to be as vague as I can so as not to mess up anything. Techno is a codename. The whole "lives being entertainment" thing is not going to be touched on since because the conversation was taking four hours nobody really understood or cared much anymore. Techno is not from our realm per say. Techno's personality is the way it is; it is not going to change just for this fic. Talking to people like it's now big deal is one of the things he has been known for. He wouldn't be given any freedom if he didn't tell them what he knew (or at least attempt to). As I said, everything in the story has a purpose.

Chapter 3

Display of Power

"Out of the way."

"Somebody get a gurney over here."

"Excuse me."

"Doctor we need some help over here."

"Hey!"

"Man, I need a vacation."

"HEY!" Everyone turned to look at the pink haired girl at the front desk.

"Yes?" asked one of the nurses, quite annoyed. Things were crazy, especially since the search party had come back, and now this girl was yelling at them. It didn't take long for everyone else to go back to what they were doing.

"What room is Uchiha Sasuke in?"

"Uchiha-san and the party sent after him are not allowed visitors," she replied snidely.

"That is a problem then," came a voice from behind Sakura. Sakura turned. A young, glasses wearing man stood before her in very odd attire. He wore what looked to be a long shirt, with a high neck guard, and long baggy sleeve on his right arm. On his other arm was, what appeared to be, a flat shield covering from his elbow to just past his wrist. On both hands he wore gloves, the right one seemed to have a small glowing ball cradled on the back. His pants too were odd, seeming to be partially made out of chain. His entire ensemble was a nearly blinding shade of white.

"Because I'm going back there." He began to walk past the front desk.

"You can't do that," said the nurse, stepping in front of the young man. She put her hand against the man's chest to push him back. The man just stared at her. Sakura just watched the scene unfold. Just then something on the underside of the guy's right arm, under the sleeve seemed to glow. Sakura blinked her eyes to make sure what she saw was real, and her eyes weren't just seeing spots from whiteness, but the glow was gone.

"I'm going back there," he said again, stepping to the side and continuing on. The nurse tried to move, but her legs wouldn't listen. She could only watch as the man walked past her. After about three steps the man looked over his shoulder at Sakura. "You coming?"

Sakura was unsure as she slowly moved past the nurse. The last guy with glasses, who seemed nice, that she had trusted, turned out to be a traitor. Still she walked with him back to the rooms. As the two rounded the corner, the young man gave a slight flick of his right wrist.

The nurse gave a final jerk as her leg finally did what she wanted, causing her to fall to the ground in pain. "Ouch," she muttered to herself.

Sakura looked up at her traveling partner strangely. He seemed to know exactly where he was going. She caught a glimpse of his glasses which seemed to be reflecting odd shapes that she couldn't place in the hall they were walking.

"Three doors down, on the right."

"What?" Sakura asked confused.

"Uchiha Sasuke. His room is three doors down, on the right. It's the one guarded by all those Anbu."

"How do you know that?"

The young man smirked. "Magic," he said. "Go see your friend, I have something to take care of."

"B-but the Anbu . . ."

The man waved his hand. Sakura again thought she saw the glow, again, coming from behind his right arm. "They won't be a problem." He opened one of the doors and walked in. Sakura looked down at the Anbu none of them seemed to be moving from the neck down. Their heads were turning as they seemed to be trying to figure out what was going on.

The pink haired girl started to walk past the four figures guarding the door. "No visitors are allowed . . . Hey." Sakura simply walked past the guards. She opened the door and surveyed the hospital room, much to the guards' protests. Three people stood around a small bed. All of a sudden a blond head peaked around the group.

"Sakura-chan?" The room's inhabitants turned to the pink haired girl that had just walked in.

"You are not supposed to be here," said Tsunade.

"It's okay Obaa-chan." Tsunade threw Naruto a glare.

Sakura took a cautious step forward. Her heart was racing. "H-how is he?"

Everyone remained silent. The only sounds were those of the running medical equipment. Finally one of the other two other adults in the room, who appeared to be a doctor, spoke up. "Uchiha-san has extensive injuries, and has fallen into a coma."

Sakura audibly inhaled. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Techno closed the door behind him. Nurses stood by the beds of Akamichi Choji, Hyuuga Neji, and Inuzuka Kiba. Monitors and other medical devices were hooked up to each boy. Techno surveyed the inhabitants of the room.

Kiba was across from the door, and was the one most visibly wounded. Nothing covered his upper body except for the bandages, but they were so extensive that it almost looked like he was wearing a very odd shirt. He was the only one of the three that was awake; and even then it was just barely.

Neji was resting right next to the door, his breathing was steady. The boy seemed to be even more pale than usual. That was a feat in and of itself, but he also had braces on his arms, a bandaged shoulder, and by the odd shape of the blanket covering him, Techno assumed there were braces in other areas as well.

Finally, in the corner, was the worst off of them all. Choji lay in the bed, a mask covering his face to help him breathe. He was hooked up to a heart monitor as well. The outline of the blanket gave an odd look to the once 'big boned' boy. He was now only a sliver of the boy that he used to be. A large man sat in a chair next to the bed. By the look of it, he must have been Choji's father.

"You're not supposed to be in here," said one of the nurses. Techno ignored the nurse, but instead seemed to be concentrating. Techno brought his hands together just under his chin, forming a triangle. The spot on the back of Techno's arm began to glow as did his hands. The rose colored outline of a tear formed inside the triangle.

Kiba was now wide awake and wide eyed as the new arrival began muttering something inaudible. Before Kiba could say anything he too was enveloped in the same soft glow as the arrival's hands. "Hey, what's . . ." Kiba suddenly began to feel relief from his wounds. He looked over at his other two companions.

The glow covered the other boys and seemed to be having a similar effect. Neji's color, or what there was of it, was coming back. Choji's heart rate got better and his breathing was improving. The nurses and, assumedly, Choji's father were in shock. Even the Hokage could only work on one person at a time when dealing with such severe injuries.

The glow faded. "What did you do to us?" asked Kiba, voicing what everyone else was thinking.

"I helped." Techno stumbled, but caught himself and walked over to Choji's bed. He looked down at the boy. "Akimichi-san?" The man nodded. "You may want to get a tray of food . . . or four. He's going to be awake in a few minutes, and I'm willing to bet just about anything that he's going to be hungry when he does."

The large man looked up at Techno. His expression went from shock, to relief, to pure joy. He jumped up and grabbed Techno, pulling him into a giant bear hug. "Ha ha! I don't know who you are, but thank you. Thank you. Huh?" Techno was tapping his arm.

"Air," he gasped. The large man let go of Techno.

"Ah, gomen."

"Yeah," he said wheezing. "I'd hate to see what you do to someone you don't like." With all the excitement nobody seemed to notice one of the nurses left the room.

Tears were streaming down Sakura's face as a nurse burst through the door.

"Hokage-sama. Hokage-sama. He healed them. Three at once. His hands glowed and-and then they glowed and . . ."

"Slow down," Tsunade said impatiently. "Take a breath and tell me what happened. Who healed who?" The nurse attempted to calm down, and took a few breaths, but before she could say a word Techno walked through the door. "Didn't I post four Anbu outside and tell them not to let anyone in!" she yelled. "When did you change your clothes?"

Techno smirked. "On the way to the hospital. You should have seen the looks I got." Walking past the now silent nurse, doctors, and Hokage, he stopped at Sasuke's bed. He looked up at Naruto, in the chair on the other side of the bed.

"Oi. Oi. What's going on?" Techno ignored the loud boy, putting his hands in the triangle shape again. His hands began to glow, as did Sasuke and Naruto. The rose colored tear had once again formed in the triangle. Naruto looked at the cuts and scratches that the doctors had yet to treat and the Kyubi had yet to heal. They were no longer hurting and were closing faster than his "natural" healing abilities usually allowed.

The glow faded and everyone was quiet.

Author's notes: All right. This is not really the way I wanted to end this chapter, but I wanted to introduce the main adventure at the beginning of a chapter (or close to it). If I had kept going I wouldn't have been able to do that. That means the crossover is going to begin within the next couple of chapters. Sorry this took so long to come out, chalk it up to preparation for the second Tournament of Heroes (Just a little while before it starts. Wish me luck). Constructive criticism is, as always, appreciated. Pure praise is appreciated more (well, it's true). Until next time.
