I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!!
"Will everything be alright, Tsunade-sama?" Kakashi asked the Fifth, after checking up on Sasuke.
"I had just tried to revive his memories, but it seemed that he's finding it difficult to gather all of them right now." Tsunade held out a hand when she sensed Kakashi's disappointment. "The best way for this is to wait for at least twenty-four hours until his memory comes back."
Kakashi let out a breath of relief with the fifth's words. "You mean, by tomorrow, he'll remember everything?"
"I have dealt with situations like these in the past. When these patients don't immediately recover after the medical ninjutsu, usually they remember again the next day. Sometimes, there would be 'forces' that may be able to trigger his memories back sooner; but we can't be too sure."
"I understand," Kakashi said. "Thank you, Tsunade-sama." He glanced through the door, and saw Sasuke turning pages of a picture book. He had to hold back his amusement at the unusual sight of his student who was once so serious and very much focused on training.
"Are you planning on telling the other two?" He heard Tsunade ask.
"Well," he replied, "I'm pretty interested with what Naruto is up to, now that Sasuke calls him 'Naruto-senpai'…"
Tsunade snorted. "Always the one getting carried away, huh?"
"I must admit," Kakashi chuckled.
"Anyway," Tsunade tried to put on a straight face after giving Sasuke a quick peek, "from the fact that Sasuke had been hit last night, it is quite possible that he'll recover tonight… or earlier… quite possible."
Then she headed for the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I still have to file missions- you should see the stacks up in my desk, for crying out loud!" a small vein was visible from her temple and Kakashi just waved at her goodbye.
"Kakashi sensei!" Sakura called out from the stairs where Tsunade had disappeared. She was carrying a bowl of take-out ramen, and a small bag of apples; along with Naruto, who was walking with his hands behind his head.
"Oh, so you've gotten Sasuke lunch?"
"Yes. Naruto insisted, actually. Pretty weird, huh?" Sakura motioned her hand towards the said boy.
"Well," Naruto put his hands on his hips, "Sasuke's gonna need it, since we have a lot of training to do this afternoon! He's getting discharged later, right, Kakashi sensei?"
Kakashi nodded. Sasuke waved from behind him and Sakura waved back blushingly.
"When will his memory come back, sensei?" Sakura asked.
But Kakashi placed a finger over his hidden lips, gesturing Sakura to be quiet, then whispered, "I'll tell you later. Let's have Naruto have his fun for now." He let out a soft chuckle.
"So, Sasuke," Naruto grabbed the bowl from Sakura, and placed it on Sasuke's side table, "you have to eat now 'cause later, I'm gonna be refreshing your mind about some cool moves!"
Sasuke smiled, "Thanks, Naruto senpai, but I've already been brought lunch by the nurse a few minutes ago, I'm quite full now…"
"Okay, so we'll just bring these along for later, alright, my junior?" he didn't notice Kakashi and Sakura come back from outside the room.
"Are you sure about that, sensei?" she whispered. Apparently, the Jonin had informed her about the possibility of Sasuke's cure.
"That's what Lady Fifth had told me, but I can not assure it. Let's just hope for the best…" he stared at the two boys talking, "for the both of them."
Sakura giggled. She cant wait for tonight. If ever, Naruto's definitely gonna get it!
