Chapter 5 of I'm Leaving You Behind
Disclaimer: I know this sounds weird, but I'm glad that I don't own Naruto, because I would have given up on it a while ago ^_^"
Previous: The storm has hit Konoha badly, but has gone away now. But it has affected Sakura badly, leaving her in a severe state of shock, or even worse.
Naruto gets woken up by a strange man who gets him to safety in time, just before the cherry blossom tree that Naruto way sleeping under was struck by lightening.
Naruto asks for permission to travel to Kumokagure and the old man gladly accepts. Naruto blacks out with severe sleep deprivation.
Could the lightening and the burning cherry tree have something to do with Sakura?
Help: The Italics (wonky writing) is the flashback/memory.
Thinking
(AN: Tetsuo= Wise Man and Minori= Truth)
'Tetsuo Minori ... huh? ... Wise man, .. Truth? That sounds kinda weird ... But, .. It has a nice ring to it... Minori ... kah?'
(An: sometimes instead of saying "huh?" Japanese people would say "Kah?" it's said like this ...
"Ka – gh" the "H" is half way between a silent "H" and a kinda "H" that scrapes your troat. Sorry, I just had to say that random thingy =_="
But "Kah?" is like "Your name is Sakura Kah?" it's more like "your name is Sakura, right?" it's more like they already know the answer, but question it anyway)
'I wonder if Sakura is all right... I hope that she hasn't over fed that little kit, ... Kyuubi may go beserk on me because he thought that she may have been torturing that little fox kit...
He doesn't like it when people mistreat his "kinsmen" ... Sigh... Life is dull without something to lighten it up.'
"Young man? Please wake up. We will be resting for a little bit. I think that you should get a chanse to stretch and freshen up a bit." Uzumaki Naruto felt himself being put down onto something soft.
Tetsuo Minori gently put one of his hands onto Naruto's right cheek, his golden yellow eyes soon widened. The young Uzumaki had been breathing rather loudly, but he had just shrugged it off as snoring, his own childeren had snored a bit too. But seeing as Tetsuo had carried the young Uzumaki piggy-back style (without making it seem really wrong) he had not been able to see his companion's face that clearly, but now he knew why that his companion seemed a little hot.
He had carried Naruto and his bag away to safety, away from the open clearing and more into the close packed forest that had more cover from the rain and ultimatly, less chanse of getting hit by lightening.
He hadn't even been able to stop and wrap a blanket around Uzumaki's sleeping form.
Naruto had a burning fever and his breathing was rather ragged, his chest going up and down at a faster rate than usual.
His hole frame shook a bit, he sneezed, Naruto opened up one of his pretty blue eyes, Minori gasped, they were the most 'dead' type of eyes he had ever seen a person with a fever with.
Minori noticed that the young Uzumaki was trying to form words through chattering teeth. "You could have told me that you were getting a fever! We could have stopped somewhere!"
the middle-aged man exclaimed. The blonde Uzumaki let out a hauty laugh, his eyes had a slight mocking tint to it's usual stunning blue.
"I know as m-much as you do th-that we needed t-t-to keep on trav-vel-ling, we had no-nowhere to stop and r-rest."
Tetsuo could hear the truth ring in his words, they didn't have time to stop and rest, they would have either been in danger of being hit by the lightening or
if they would have stopped at the side of the travelling road they would have been exposed to possible bandits along the way.
"I-in my bag is so-me medicene to s-s-top the fever." Tetsuo Minori had never heard of any type of medicene that could take away a fever before, nevertheless,
he picked up Uzumaki's bag and rummaged trough it. His long fingers fiannally felt a little box, he shook it a bit, a faint rattling sound came from the bag. 'This must be it.'
Beep ... Beep ... Beep ... Beep ...
Nurses and doctors are scurrying around a plain white room with three windows, a pink haired girl was placed carefully onto one of the seven beds in the room before immidiatly having an IV hooked to her right arm.
A young short, black haired nurse (Shizune) noticed that the pinkette was still awake and quikly gave her a sleeping injection.
The blonde hazel eyed lady with an ample bossom growled quietly, scaring some of the nearby medics, it certainly made the platinium blonde next to her let out a whimpering sob and making
the kit in her arms growl back at the older, wiser, blonde.
"So, ..." Tsunade craned her neck to look at Ino over her shoulder, she needeD to get the vital information out of Ino, the pressuring way, or the conforting yet brisk way. Or of course the easy chose the best option.
"Ino you are not helping me, Shizune or ultimatly Sakura right now and I need to know what has happened here." Ino looked up from her conforting of the kit in her arms.
"S- sa-Sakura?" Ino's aquamarine eyes hardened, determination filling them. It turned out that Tsunade didn't need to pressurise Ino, she was ready to inform her Hokage and master if information was needed from her.
"I hadn't seen Naruto around and that's kinda unusual, so I wanted to go ask Sakura where Naruto could be, you know him, he could just be up and leave on a 3 day training trip."
Tsunade nodded in understanding, the young Uzumaki started doing it ever since he was 13, about a year in Team 7, Kakashi had greatly approved of it, but the Uzumaki forgot most of the time to tell others
that he wasn't going to be around for a few days.
"Well, once I got to Sakura's street, I …" Tsunade raised one delicate eyebrow at her, urging her to go on.
"… I heard her scream, … she s-sounded so scared, … so I ran to her place and went straight to her room and found her in this state."
Tsunade summed up everything, all the symptoms, everything what was just said … "I think that she's going to be in a Comatose state for a short while Ino. Take care of that kit while she's not able to."
