"Naruto may not make it through the night." Hiruzen told the group that was there for Naruto. "The doctors suggest his wound is too great, repairing lungs is not easy after all. However I think Naruto could pull through, he is quite the fighter as you all well know. Kakashi, may I have a word with you."
Though it sounded like a question, Kakashi knew it was certainly not. He followed the old man to another room. "Kakashi, first off I know you are blaming yourself for this, there was nothing you could have done however. You saved his life, if he makes it out of this it will be all thanks to you.
Kakashi shook his head, "I know Lord Hokage, yet I am still beating myself up. I couldn't get there in time. If I was just a little faster, you know?"
The Hokage nodded sagely, "Yes Kakashi, I am well aware of how you feel. Keep in mind, I have lived long, and lost many friends, many of those whom I held dear to me are long dead. Even I can't help but feel guilty on having outlived them. However overtime, I have learned that
if you keep questioning yourself you will be filled with angst. You can't do that to yourself. The other thing I wanted to talk to you about. Naruto is still not yet old enough to technically inherit a clan grounds. I have no intention in moving him into another unprotected apartment. Instead if he lives through this, and I think he will, he will need a new place to live. I am going to inform him of his heritage, and give him his inheritance. However there is one condition, you will be assigned as his guardian, and interim clan head, until he can become the Namikaze clan head."
Kakashi was dumbfounded, "What! If you can do that, why has it not be done already?"
Hiruzen smirked, "Well Kakashi,I am just about done taking orders from the council. This is My Ninja Village, the council be damned the civilians have put us into this spot. I know every single person that was outside his apartment tonight, and if they dare to oppose me I will have every single person that was there executed for trying to kill one of my ninja. That will include members of their families and even some of them. This was an unfortunate accident, a tragedy in fact for poor Naruto, but if he lives through this then it will be a great thing. You will finally be able to take care of him. You will both move into the Namikaze estate. You will take care of him there. You will have access to Minato's fortune, you will be able to use that for whatever you and Naruto need. Naruto will need all new clothes and belongings, he has quite literally lost everything. To be safe do not mention any of this to anyone, this is strictly between you and I. Do not tell Naruto, just in case the council does find a way to bar me from doing this. I will let you know when it is official."
Kakashi grinned and nodded, "Thank you Lord Hokage, I cannot believe you are willing to go so far for Naruto, and I."
Hiruzen nodded, "I wish I could have done even more and sooner."
With that Hiruzen walked away to get an update from the doctors.
Kakashi grinned and was relieved, that is until he heard a bunch of yelling from the room Naruto was in. Kakashi ran into the room to see that Naruto had crashed again, He already had an oxygen tube in him and was hooked up to a breathing machine but he had started seizing.
This is when Hinata ran into the room, what she saw devastated her. Naruto was ghostly pale and his entire body was convulsing. The doctors had to pin the young man down and inject him with some form of liquid, after a few minutes Naruto stopped convulsing, but his heart stopped. The doctors immediately went into overdrive trying to save him.
Hinata dropped to her knees, tears falling down her face as she continued to stare in horror. The doctor's set orange pads on his chest as they set a set of metal shock pads to them.
"CLEAR!" A doctor yelled out as he sent a charge of electricity into Naruto's body, the boys chest popped up in an unnatural as a result. "CLEAR" the shock was sent into his body again, once again his chest popping up. "ONE MORE, CLEAR!" The last shock was sent into the boy's system as he popped up again, this time however his heart started beating. The machine going into a slow but steady beeping rhythm.
Everybody in the room sighed in relief taking in deep breaths as they were glad the boy was going to live at least a little longer.
All of the non medical ninja leaving the room so as to give the doctor's room to work and try to bring Naruto back. It was a couple hours later when a doctor walked out. "We saved him, we fixed his lungs but he has gone comatose. He is stable but currently nonresponsive. The next week will be vital to his survival. I am sorry I could not do more, it is obvious you care for the boy." With that the doctor took his leave.
Kakashi however was beyond upset, "DAMNIT!" Kakashi then punched the wall, leaving a crater in it as he walked out of the hospital saying, "I need some air."
Author's notes: Well how did you all like that? I dont actually know anything about medicine or anything so I hope this was an accurate enough depiction of what would happen. I think next chapter will be what is going on in Naruto's mindscape while he is in a coma, as well as how Hinata, and the other's are taking it. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW.
