Voices in a hospital were supposed to be some what hushed yet, a loud booming voice was clearly heard through out the floor. In a room not so far away from where Naruto lay, sat Kiba, Kyuubi, Dr. Itachi and a pissed looking Dr. Sasuke. (had to use first names or that would have been confusing)
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!?!?! HE CAN'T WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" Kiba was fuming and was being held back by Kyuubi who seemed to be at peace with the news that was presented, which in turn made Kiba more angry that he already was.
"I suggest you sit down shut up and think before yelling. There are other sick people here besides the blonde." Spat out a calm but mad looking Itachi. In the corner where Sasuke sat Kyuubi was asking question to keep the younger Uchiha occupied while the older dealt with Kiba. That's how things progressed till they heard something rather someone falling to the floor.
Rushing into Naruto's room which was located right next to the office they were in. They all stopped in shock to see Naruto laying face down on the ground mumbling to himself. Being the older brother Kyuubi went to go pick up Naruto from the ground only to be shoved away. Naruto sat up on his own with great difficulty but by himself none the less.
Surveying his surroundings Naruto gathered that he was in a hospital wearing crap hospital clothing. He also noticed that there was 4 people in his room, one of which was Kyuubi whom he pushed away, the next was Kiba still wearing his swimming stuff, his Doctor, Uchiha Sasuke looking worried and a taller male doctor with the darkest hair he has ever seen tied up into a ponytail, porcelain skin which seemed to glow, mean facial features his name tag read Uchiha Itachi. 'Great another Uchiha woohoo. just my friggin luck!' Naruto just sat and glared, while the others seemed to be trying to say something but not knowing how to put it.
Against everyone's will Itachi spoke up "I know Dr. Sasuke hasn't told you anything yet but I'm here to tell you what is wrong." he paused just in case his little brother wanted to tell him but when nothing came other then a glare Itachi continued, "You Uzumaki Naruto have Burkitt's lymphoma. It's a cancer. So you can stop thinking your Superman and just relax."
Kiba fidgeted in a corner while Kyuubi went to go tell Iruka what was going on since the man refused to listen to the doctors' when Naruto was first brought in and instead waiting in the waiting area. Itachi left after watching Naruto struggle by refusing help and getting in to the bed. Sasuke pulled a chair up to Naruto's bedside and sighed. He just couldn't believe it, that's why he didn't tell Naruto because he was willing it not to be true. But after what happened today Sasuke had planned on telling Naruto in a much more..simple nicer way.
"Kiba since you already know. Leave and go sit with Iruka and Kyuubi." He didn't need to be told twice and practically ran out of the room. Sasuke then turned to Naruto so that he could explain to him what Burkitt's lymphoma was.
Taking a deep breath Sasuke started" Burkitt's lymphoma is Cancer that Originated in Africa but is also found in North America though it's rare and we only get about 100 new cases of it a year. It usually happens to children ages 11 ..but its even more rare for someone your age to get it."
Naruto sat there on his hospital bed trying to grasp what Sasuke was saying, but he had put up a barrier in his brain that blocked out anything that would keep him from his goal of being the Olympic champion. So that being said he was not believing the Raven haired doctor. "So..if what you say is true..is this life threatening?"
"Depends, on how bad it already is." Rubbing between his eyes "AND before you ask if the tumor is far enough along it would be spread through you're whole body. I'll say if we give you the treatment and providing its not that bad yet you have a 60% of beating this thing."
Naruto held a blank stare while thinking 'So the Bastard doesn't know if I'll even live through this..well that's just peachy' . Raising his head Naruto opened his mouth "How did I get this?"
Sasuke then ran his hands through his hair and sighed a bit louder this time before explaining "This cancer usually happens when a blood cell called B-lymphocyte goes through a cancerous change. The cell multiplies at a rate that is unnatural thus forming tumors. Like most others this cancer is well deadly as I told you already, however what makes this worse with that it spreads rapidly." Looking up to see Naruto just staring Sasuke decided to continue with the explanation. "There are 2 type of this cancer; one being found in Africa and one here in North America. The one in Africa is the most easily treated because its caused by the Epstein-barr virus, and that is believed to be most likely to be the cause of malaria. However, the one you have, is not as likely to be from that Epstein-barr virus, since the North American version of this cancer attacks the bone marrow." Coming to the end of his information line Sasuke took a small breather before dishing out the symptoms. "With this Cancer you should have noticed that you have had extreme fatigue -which would be the cause of your fainting spells-, weight loss and an inablity to fight infections. Two of these signs Kyuubi has noticed, and we have tests to back up our hypothesis."
Naruto seeming to be an a information overload passed out just as Sasuke finsihed explaining.
Hey guys Sorry i re-did this chapter I really didn't like how short it was and how little information it had.
