Hello my wonderful readers! I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of watchers I have, so cheers for me! I present you with a new chapter of 'Eyes,' and I hope you enjoy it. I have a basic story plot in mind, but I would love if you left me some suggestions! Well, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto blah blah blah I need to sit down and write out a cool disclaimer some time.
Dull light filtered into his vision. Something was different. Not wrong, just- off. Naruto slowly sat up, and looked around the room. 'Ah right. The hospital.' He thought, before realization dawned onto the blond.
He checked again. The walls, they were white. He had a square bedside table-also white- and, oh wow! A baby blue over sheet covering his red scarred legs. The morning was bright and just, oh- wow.
So bright and loud, everything just assaulted his senses. But in an amazing, breathtaking insane kind of gleeful way that made Naruto want to jump out of the open window and shout to all of Konoha 'I can see!' But then he thought better of it, taking a better look and seeing he was on the ninth floor.
"I see you're awake, tch." Came a low voice from his left. Naruto turned and faced his dark haired teammate. The blond knew he himself was probably grinning like a madman but he didn't care. It was just great to see the raven haired boy was well.
"Ah, is that repairable?" Naruto asked, referring to the scar running across said teammate's right eye. Sasuke shrugged, not without a slight smirk to accompany it.
"You probably don't want to get rid of it, seeing as girls dig scars. I know they're going to be all over me." The blond joked, gesturing to the ruined top portion of his face.
"I wouldn't say that, seeing as I'm about to heal you both in about a minute." Sakura spoke up from the other side of the room. Naruto jumped. Whatever painkillers the hospital was pumping into him, the were messing with his senses.
"Mah, a man can dream, yea?" Naruto smiled, jumping out of bed. Sakura scowled.
"Get back off your feet and rest now, or I will make you." She ground out. Naruto complied, not about to defy Sakura on her own turf. Sasuke stood up and stretched, popping a few joints and throwing his arms over his head. He was dressed in casual attire. 'Must be off missions for the moment.' The blond mused.
There was a comfortable silence as the pink haired girl-to-be-woman checked over Naruto's charts, and he was becoming a bit nostalgic.
He thought of all the times team seven spent together, and how the entire time he took things for granted. His eyes of course, but also his own life. He could have died out there, (not that he would have let that happen,) and Sakura and Sasuke would probably be informed of his death today. He tried to imagine losing one of his comrades and found the thought quite painful. Every ninja had been trained from the very beginning that death was a common part of life, but it was still difficult no matter how old or cold you've become.
Suddenly the door opened. Sakura fumbled with her clipboard, probably not wanting to be caught socializing on the job. The infamous Copy ninja strolled in, hands in his pockets.
"Well, it's nice to see you all together for the moment." He said, with a one-eyed curving smile. Sakura placed her clipboard down again, resuming her usual not-rigid position. Naruto beamed.
"Kakashi sensei!" He cried, leaning forward. The silver haired nin's eyebrow shot up in surprise.
"Well, I see that you can-see?" Kakashi said in puzzlement and awe. Naruto scratched the back of his head, squinting his good eye.
"Ah yea… er. Long story really. You see, it was the middle of the night and I was trying to sleep, but then Sasuke came out of nowhere and dropped in my window. We were talking and then he said 'I'm going to give you one of my eyes' all angst like until Sakura came in because we were loud and I guess she knocked my out or something because now I have an eye!"
Kakashi looked a little taken aback, probably still trying to figure out exactly what Naruto had just shouted. He glanced over at Sasuke who indeed had a rather nasty looking scar over a seemingly empty eye-socket. Then he looked at the smiling Sakura, and back over to Naruto.
"If I may make a suggestion, how about you replace Sasuke's no-eye for the one you took out of Naruto. I'm sure it would be better than an empty socket. I know he wouldn't be able to see out of it but..." He said, bemused by his students antics. Team seven was definitely the most dedicated shinobi team he had ever come across.
"That's a great idea Kakashi-sensei! Why didn't I think of that?" Said Sakura, running to gather a scalpel and what looked like some sort of painkiller. Sasuke paled.
"Mah, how many times do I have to tell you guys not to call me 'sensei' anymore? I mean, you've all already surpassed me." Kakashi said sheepishly, before turning toward the door. "I'm going to go inform the Hokage of your little transplant.I don't think she will be too happy to find one of her best seasoned shinobi without an eye," he looked at Sasuke before adding, "-and I'm glad that you are recovering alright Naruto."
And with a poof, the Copy ninja had transported away, not without saying something that sounded mysteriously like 'great teamwork.'
Tsunade sighed, looking at team seven. In some ways, their choice was irrational and not thought about, but in other ways; well, she had by far one of her best shinobi back and capable of work.
Sasuke had just had one of Naruto's eyes transplanted into him, so he was lying back on his chair, resting off the powerful painkillers.
Naruto was beaming, just glad to have sight again. It was weird to Tsunade, seeing Naruto without his beautiful blue eyes. Instead, one of his eyes was heavily bandages while the other was the Uchihas trademark black eye. It looked wrong on her cheerful Naruto. Speaking of which…
"Naruto, do you think you could access the sharingan?" She asked suddenly. His eye widened, having not thought of it.
"Uh, I haven't actually tried it but…" He trailed off, deep in thought. Sasuke sat up, apparently awake after all.
"He may have to re-awaken it like the younger Uchiha. I can't guarantee it will work, but it's definitely worth a shot." He muttered, still half asleep. Naruto grinned.
"This is going to be awesome." The blond said, getting up out of bed. The floor stung his feet with cold, but he didn't care.
"And where do you think you're going idiot?" Asked the Hokage, with a questioning glare. Naruto shrugged.
"I'm off to try and awaken this thing granny, I mean really, do you even know me?" He laughed, before leaping over Sasuke and sprinting out the door, not wanting to chance being caught by the angry Sannin.
Review, yea? You know that you would love to make a young writers day! Pretty please? Pretty please with Shikamaru on top?
