Chapter 7
Naruto with the guys
It didn't take long from Sakura and Sai's visit for the other guys of the leaf village to find out Naruto was a little out of it.
Sai went to see Shikamaru and decided to round up the rest of the guys. Before he knew it Naruto was surrounded by Shikamaru, Choji, Rock Lee, Sai, Kiba, and Akamaru.
He awoke to see them all around his bed talking. "Well this can't be good," he said with a chuckle.
"Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor" Choji said.
"I am sure you will be back to normal quickly Naruto!" Declared Lee.
"Normal quickly? Maybe you didn't notice Lee, but he's missing an arm," Shikamaru pointed out.
"Hmmm, you are right," Lee declared again.
"Anyways, you're lucky you survived Naruto, your fight was incredible!" Kiba stated.
"Woof, woof" Akamaru barked
He adjusted himself "Thanks guys, I'm glad you came to visit, it gets lonely in here."
"Well you've been asleep so you weren't very good company," Shikamaru mentioned.
"It looks like he's getting plenty of visits from Hinata, isn't that flower from her?" Kiba asked.
"Yes, she was in here earlier and her and Naruto were holding hands and blushing," Sai added.
Everyone turned their eyes to Sai and back to Naruto…
Choji spoke first "Naruto's got a girl friend!" and all the guys pitched in making comments and laughing at him.
"Thanks for that Sai, you loud mouth."
"I thought you had a thing for Sakura…" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah, I thought she told you she loved you and you loved her too?" goaded Kiba.
"What?" Lee looked at Naruto with a sad face.
"Love? Are you serious? We are only friends and that's as far as it's going to go. We will never be more than friends, and," he added "we don't even have anything in common."
Lee smiled.
"Whatever you say Naruto," Shikamaru added and the guys started laughing again.
"Anyways, I don't want to be rude but you're going to have to go because Hinata's coming back to see me this afternoon."
The guys got ready to say their goodbyes and headed out the door. Kiba stopped because he almost stepped on something, a container of Hinata's healing balm.
He headed back across the room to Naruto "It looks like Hinata was already here and left, this is some of her healing balm, she left it in front of the door."
Naruto frowned "she had to give a bunch to Sakura, I'm sure she'll stop on her way back."
