Chapter 22:
— Saved —
The search and rescue team from Konoha was unable to find any trace of naruto anywhere, but he was still alive. When he fell in to the river, the hasty current pushed
him down stream that connects to River Country. His forehead protector was untied when he fought the current. Naruto was able to remain conscience until he got washed over the coastline. Then everything went black all of a sudden.
"Good, you're finally awake" a girls voice suddenly echoed the whole place.
Naruto began to open his eyes to see a hazy vision in front of him.
"So, how are you feeling?"
Naruto's voice was raucous and shaken from his wounds and injuries.
"Wh— who are you?"
The girl smirk "Well, I'm only the one who save you from dying!"
Naruto slowly focused his visions to the women in front. She had a dark yellow colored hair that goes down to her shoulders and a pair green eyes. She also wears a long black coat with a cloud pattern engraved in it. She was also wearing a konoha protector in her Forehead with a strike at the center.
"huh?" he started to look around. "Where am i?"
"You're at my laboratory. I've found you almost dead at the shoreline yesterday. It's a good thing that I'm a good medical nin! Even a professional medical doctor cannot save you at your current state yesterday. All of the cells in your body were almost diminished when I found you" The girl boastfully explained.
She playfully smirked at naruto. "In order to save you I'd used my forbidden kinjutsu, so you owe me big time kid!" She winks at him.
Naruto lowered his head. "I see…"
"Say, what happened to you? How did you damaged your body like that?"
Naruto began to think about what happened to him for the past days, but everything was black and blur.
"So?"
"I— I don't know…"
Her eyes widen "Eh! What about your name?"
Naruto thought, but he couldn't remember his name. He thought harder, but he couldn't
Remember anything. It was all a vast blank to him.
"umm… I don't remember anything…"
She sighed while holding her head in disbelief. "You don't know your own name? oh great. I suspected that this might happen"
"I'm sorry…"
She looked at the face of the troubled kid on the bed. "Don't worry, I'm sure that you will eventually remembered something!"
"You sure?" Naruto's face lighten after hearing what the women said.
"Yup!"
Naruto smiled at her. Then the lady sat beside him leaning her head on her hands.
She looked closer to the face of naruto which makes the boy blush a little.
"you know, Your face reminds me of someone…"
"Really?"
The lady playfully smirked "But he's a lot more cuter than you!"
Naruto face becomes slightly sad because of the comment of the girl. Then a surge of laughter suddenly echoed the whole place.
"What?" Naruto exclaimed.
"Hahaha, I'm just Joking! You look really serious so I kinda pull a prank on you!"
Silence…
Silence…
Snap of a vein…
Silence…
Then both of them laugh for no reason at all for a couple of minutes.
The laughter died out and the lady was rubbing her eyes after laughing insanely.
The girl stands up while putting a blanket on naruto. "Okay then I'm going. I need to report your status to my leader but I will be back in a jiffy so be a good boy and behave yourself!" She playfully commanded. Then she began to walk towards the door.
"wait!" Naruto interrupted her from going out.
She looked back at naruto. "What is it?"
"What your name?"
"Oh yeah I forgot! My name is Rin…"
