Hyuuga Naruto

I don't own Naruto.

Chapter 3: Turn of Events

Naruto hated hospitals. Being at a hospital reminded him that people were getting hurt. However, it never occurred to him that he would be the one who needed medical attention. He always healed so quickly because of Kyubi, until today. But now, he was sitting on the hospital bed, a dull ache in his stomach. Reviewing yesterday's events in his head.

Flashback

It had been a warm cheery afternoon, the last day of the academy for the year. An entire summertime waited ahead of him. Blue skies, green grass, everything was right in the world. At least, it should have been. He couldn't seem to shake this feeling that something devastating was going to happen.

Despite this negative gut feeling, he had a pleasant day playing with Hinata. They played tag in the garden, and he even got her to play a minor prank with her. They died one of the elder's hair blond! A wonderful day with a wonderful event. It was a night when things abruptly turned for the worse.

Naruto didn't even so much as turn in his sleep when two shadowy figures entered his room. They silently carried him outside the room and out of the compound. Then dashed into the forest in hopes of disturbing no one. However, their almost silent activities roused Hiashi who got up to see if everything was all right. He checked Hinata's room and was pleased to see she was still sleeping peacefully. He then checked Naruto's room and was shocked to find he wasn't there. So he activated his byakugan and perused the two who had earlier kidnapped Naruto.

"Quick, use the technique!" a figure in an ANBU mask said in a hushed tone.

"Alright," one said before going through a long series of hand seals. "Now!" He announced before he shoved a glowing hand into Naruto's abdomen.

"AAAAAARGHH" Naruto let out a deafening wail that pierced the silence of the night.

Just then Hiashi made it too the scene and quickly killed the ANBU with an extremely fast double palm thrust. Worried, he took a look an Naruto with his byakugan.

"Oh no," Hiashi said. He had to get Naruto medical attention immediately. So with that, he rushed off to the hospital carrying Naruto.

End Flashback

And that's how he ended up here. Turns out that the ANBU who had kidnapped him had altered the Kyubi's seal. Beforehand, he would have been able to access the beast's large chakra reserves at will with the right training. This was because the chakra slowly and evenly integrated itself with Naruto's natural chakra. If he got in to danger, he could have drawn out more in order to defend himself, and give him immense power.

However this new technique messed with the demon's chakra. It figuratively put a dam to block the flow of it's chakra. So now Naruto can only access small amounts. This also means he lost basically all of his super healing ability. Normally, the demon chakra would build up and rip his body apart. However, Naruto was given a seal on his back that when activated, can act as a safe release for all the excess chakra that will build up.

It wasn't all too bad though. Since he already had high reserves, he could still last a while in battle. Not to mention his control would probably better than ever.

"Well it's good to see you awake, though that silence was worrying me."

Naruto almost jumped up from where he was sitting. He didn't even notice the woman enter the room. She had blonde hair tied in two ponytails, had a strange birthmark on her forehead, and her chest looked like it was giving her back problems. Yet despite that and her short stature, she stood tall and radiated an aura of confidence and experience.

"I'm Tsunade and I've been caring for you all night. I trust the nurse explained everything well to you?" At this Naruto nodded his head yes. "Good. I just came in to introduce myself seeing as you will be having regular check ups with me from now on. You are officially discharged." And with that she left the room, the door clicking softly behind her.

Overall Naruto took the news pretty well. His training hasn't been set back, yet he couldn't help but feel as if he had lost a part of him. As he walked home he thought to himself, 'I wonder how Hiashi will take this...'

So that's it for now. A lot happened in a short amount of writing. o.o thanks a lot, reviews and advice are appreciated!
