DISCLAIMER:I don't own Naruto.
It was just another day of training in the village of konoha especially for an orange clad boy who was training for his sprring match to impress his crush. He trained like there was no tommorrow but actually there was for that would be the day he would face his rival, Sasuke.
"C'mon fox more chakra I need to get used to the massive amount to control your chakra.", the boy said to no one particular as he was standing in an open field all alone however the young boy was never really alone for he had a guardian inside of him who was also his curse.
"Dammit kit if you push yourself too much you'll end up hurt or worse killed", the 'fox' spoke.
"Just do it and for the billionth time my name is Naruto", Naruto screamed as his body was engulfed in a red flame-like chakra.
"And FYI I'm the kyuubi no kitsune so show some respect and call me by my name would ya", kyuubi ground out.
"If you can show me that your worth the bravado you show then maybe", Naruto smirked though he was on all fours and panting due to the pain he was going through to control the kyuubi's chakra that was now coursing through him. A moment later twice the amount of chakra was given to Naruto and he felt like he was burning alive.
"We best stop kid you've already made a lot of progress considering that your human. Your at your limit and anymore and you'll die.", kyuubi stated.
"Just a little more I'm already starting to feel less pain so maybe I'm starting to master your chakra", Naruto proudly stated.
"No you nimrod your body's way too damaged to even feel the pain that's why your feeling less pain,
kyuubi stated.
"No I'll push myself to my limits and then stop.", Naruto said.
"But your already way past your limits kid it's just a matter of time before you die", kyuubi spoke.
"No I can still go on I'll keep on going.", Naruto stubbornly said.
"Then you leave me no choice", kyuubi solemnly said. Suddenly a large amount of chakra was sent through Naruto's body and it was felt by other ninjas. Those noteworthy were the hokage Tsunade, the sannin Jiraiya and copy-nin Kakashi.
'What did you do fox?', Naruto spoke to kyuubi through his thoughts as his body started to shut down and the split second of agonizing pain in his body slowly ebbed away leaving his body exhausted.
'I pushed all of my chakra into your system that way your chakra coils would get messed up and you'd finally stop before you got yourself killed", kyuubi explained.
'Okay gee thanks now I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere unconscious and incapable of using chakra', Naruto thought sarcastically.
"Don't worry the hokage and other nins will be here after getting a feel of my chakra so you'll be okay.", kyuubi assured Naruto.
"Okay so how long am I out of commission?", Naruto asked exasperated with kyuubi's wierd ways of protecting him.
"Oh about a week but add three more days to make sure or else all the hardwork I'm doing to rebuild your chakra system will collapse.", kyuubi said childishly.
"Oh joy I'm glad that your so happy.", Naruto dead-panned sarcastically
"Hey I'm the one working here so just enjoy being bedridden for once.", kyuubi complained but Naruto grew confused. Why did kyuubi's voice sounded like it became feminine and teasing.
Shadows suddenly dropped all around Naruto. He rolled his eyes around to see who the new comer was since he couldn't turn his head let alone his whole body.
"Naruto what happened?", asked a voice he identified as the old hag Tsunade. He couldn't do move which meant he couldn't speak either. After getting no response Tsunade looked him over and did a diagnosis. Her face showed seriousness. "His chakra system is completely destroyed take him to the hospital while I inform his friends of the incident.", Tsunade signaled to the anbu who did as they were told. Moments later Jiraiya turned up with Kakashi.
"No need to worry Naruto just burned his chakra system. He won't be able to use it for a while but he'll live.", Tsunade informed Jiraiya and Kakashi.
"Tsunade that chakra.", Jiraiya started.
"I know Jiraiya we'll get Naruto to tell us once he can speak for now let him rest", she left and Jiraiya followed but Kakashi stayed behind and thought.
'I hope it's nothing serious', then again everything about kyuubi is serious.
I was in the hospital of konoha and I was lying on my bed resting. Kyuubi was still repairing my chakra system so disturbing her might be a bad idea. "hah...", I sighed. "No visitors not surprising but not even a nurse?", Naruto thought out loud and sighed again. It was the first day since he got into the hospital and it was boring. A nurse would come by and put a fresh bag of dextrose(I think that's what it's called sorry I don't know) but they would act like he didn't exist. Naruto looked sadly out the window sadly and wished he were outside.
knock! knock! knock!
"Uzumaki-san may I come in?", a girl's voice was heard through the door. Naruto turned his head towards the door and said.
"Come on in", A girl came in and at first sight Naruto spoke the few words that came to his mind.
"Sakura-chan?", Naruto said confused.
"Ah gomen but my name is not Sakura", the nurse smiled gently at him as she carried a tray with food towards him. "Anyway it's time for lunch", she said as she sat down next to Naruto.
"Eh?", Naruto was surprised to say the least. "Why are sitting down beside me", Naruto asked not expecting it.
"Well you don't seem to be able to move yet so I'm gonna feed you is what", she spoke. 'Her voice is like an angel's', Naruto thought.
"Now say aah", she instructed as she served him a spoon of rice with veggies.
"But I don't like veggies", Naruto sweatdropped as he didn't like them and he was warned many times about hospital food not being very good.
"These are special veggies so open up okay?", she smiled somewhat childishly as if excited. "I promise it's really good.", she said honestly.
"Okay", Naruto complied and soon the food was being chewed in his mouth, after some moments. "OISHI,
Naruto was in heaven. "Wow this taste almost as good as ramen.", Naruto said happily.
"I'm glad you like it now for some protein", she said as she cut up the meat on the plate to serve Naruto. Naruto took his time to assess the girls looks. She looked just like Sakura but with a little difference. Her hair was long, longer than Sakura's when hers wasn't cut yet about waist high. It was also pink but her hair was a darker, deeper shade of pink than Sakura's. Her forehead didn't stick out much like Sakura's either. Her curves seemed to be a bit more pronounced than Sakura's even if they were to wear the same outfit. Her skin was just as flawless as well but What struck Naruto most was her eyes, whereas Sakura's eyes were a pale jade, this girls eyes were a deep emerald. The girl looked towards him their gazes met and he swore to all he could swear upon that her eyes were like oceans of trees that he seemed to get lost in.
"Uzumaki-san Uzumaki-san", the girl kept calling his attention. Naruto quickly snapped out of it and paid attention.
"Yes?", he said quickly to the girl. (note: I know I don't have to say this but the girl and the nurse are one and the same.)
"Ah thank goodness I was afraid something had happened", she said as she took the spoonful of meat and rice and served Naruto. After chewing Naruto asked a question to the nurse a question most women would find rude especially if the question was directed to Tsunade. (NO! NOT BUST SIZE!)
"Eh? How old are you miss?", Naruto asked grinning guiltily.
"Hm...", the girl got a thoughtful look on her face.
"Eheh sorry, you don't have to answer if you don't want to it's just that you look a lot like my teammate.", Naruto spoke trying to explain
The nurse smiled and said, "12 what about you?", She asked Naruto kindly.
"12 as well", Naruto replied politely. They continued to talk as the nurse fed Naruto lunch and they started getting to know each other.
"I guess it's time for me to go Uzumaki-san", the girl said as she picked up the tray with the neatly piled dishes and walked towards the door.
"Wait", Naruto said. The nurse looked back and said.
"Don't worry Uzumaki-san you won't be alone anymore since I've asked Tsunade-sama to assign me to you", the nurse said.
"Eh? why?", Naruto asked though that wasn't his original intention.
"Because sometimes I would look at the logbook and see that no one has visited you and most of the others didn't seem to want to come in here so I thought... that maybe you were lonely", she smiled as Naruto looked straight into her eyes.
"What's your name miss?", Naruto asked entranced by the girl's emerald eyes.
"Sanada Sakumi pleased to meet you Uzumaki Naruto-san"
