Thanks for the great feedback! It was my first fanfiction so I was worried. I'm appreciate the fact that you enjoyed my story. Please continue to do so along with future ideas.
I found the absolute cutest picture as the book cover. (Well I adore it) I'm asking the artist to give me permission to use it so wait for it!
Since the first chapter was so short, I'll do my best to make this one long!
Naruto's eyes fluttered open seeing shadows. He groaned and got everyone's attention.
"Naruto?" a feminine figure with an small voice whimpered. "Are you okay?"
Naruto got up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the blurry figures. The voice was probably Hinata's. Hinata was really shy so she had a small voice. He gave a care-free smile.
"Other than the fact that everything's blurry, I'm fine!" he answered cheerfully. He heard sighs of relief but felt a tense aura. Someone was crying and suddenly a person with big breasts hugged him really tightly until he couldn't breathe.
"Thank goodness it wasn't worst," a person who is most likely Tsunade (big breasts of course)
"What could have made his vision blurry Tsunade-hime?" Hinata asked.
"Well it probably could be a side effect. I can't tell if it is permanent or temporary though. We'll need some time to figure that out. Most likely, it most likely two side-effects," Tsunade answered. "Sakura, I want you to answer with the best of your knowledge."
"Hai sensei... Naruto has a chance of a temporary or a permanent side-effect. The temporary side-effect is due to the fact that his eyes need to adjust to sunlight again and the permanent is because..." Sakura replied slowing down only at the end. Naruto could hear her sniffling.
"Sakura, what's wrong?" Naruto cried, worried for his first crush.
"You dumb idiot! You nearly DIED! DIED!" she wailed. Naruto was shocked. Tsunade's blurry figure walked up to her and calmed Sakura down.
"Well, you have a lot of talent Sakura. Your answer was perfect but don't be so emotional. It scares the patients and you made Naruto worried," Tsunade said. Suddenly he heard the door open with a large crash and he snapped his head in the direction the sound came from.
"NARUTO!" a red-head boy with a pale complexion screamed. "I-I heard you woke up. Are you okay?"
"Gaara?" he guessed. "What are you doing here?"
"You nearly died and were in a coma! Of course I would leave Suna to see how you were doing." he stated like it was a matter-of-fact. "Why wouldn't I? That'll make me a horrible friend. You are my first friend and opened my eyes to look outside the box. Now I have so much more people opening up to me. A friend who taught me so much nearly dying. I'm not an idiot no matter how much of an anti-sociopath I am Naruto."
"Heh," Naruto laughed. "I didn't know I put such a large impact on your life. Thanks Gaara... By the way, where's Kankuro and Tenmari? I don't see them next to you."
"Naruto, what are you talking about? Me and Kankuro are right here," a voice said in the direction of the door. Naruto used the hint that the person used Kankuro thus using the process of elimination, the person was Tenmari.
"Tsunade, why can't I see them?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know. I understand if your vision is blurry but not that... Naruto I want you to look out of your window," she answered hesitantly. Naruto looked out of the window and was very confused.
"Where did the village go?" Naruto asked.
"Kankuro. Tenmari. Please come in the room," Tsunade ordered. I looked at their direction and smiled.
"Hey! I can see you now. Sort of," I laughed. Tsunade seemed to kneel down and started crying. "What's wrong?"
"Naruto, I'm so sorry," she cried.
"For what? The only thing you did was help me," Naruto stated.
"You probably crippled your visions for good!" Tsunade cried.
"Well. Maybe I can fix it eventually. I did get away from dying after all," he pouted.
Gaara sounded furious when he roared," Sasuke made Naruto lose his perfect vision. Is that why his vision is so shitty! I'll kill that bastard."
"Gaara calm down,"Temari begged.
"Yeah Gaara. You should listen to Temari," Kankuro agreed. (he is the only one with purple paint on his face)
"W-Wait a second... Who in the world is Sasuke?" Naruto uninterrupted. A heavy silence entered the room before Sakura broke it.
"N-Naruto?" Sakura growled. "WHY DID..." She was interrupted by an unknown voice and person. Naruto couldn't see the person.
"Haruno-san!" the person scolded. "Uzumaki-san needs his rest. I understand he just got up from a coma but with all this happening; He must be exhausted."
"Dr. Kirihara is right Sakura. Naruto had enough drama for one day. He should get more rest. You should know better. Lets got," Tsunade coaxed. Everyone decided to file out of the room except Gaara. Temari and Kankuro noticed Gaara wasn't following them.
"Gaara, what are you doing? Lets go," Temari urged.
"I'm sorry. Tsunade-hime, do mind if I just stay in this room," Gaara pleaded.
"S-s-s-s-su-su-sure," Tsunade stammered. Everyone left, leaving us alone in the room.
"Gaa-," I said before I wasn't interrupted with Gaara commanded," Just sleep."
I laughed a little before my eyes started getting heavy. Gaara felt so... calm... to be around.
Gaara bit the bottom of his lip. Naruto started snoring lightly.
He whispered," Thank god you were safe. I didn't know what I would do without you."
Gaara brushed Naruto's hair and smirked. " You even forgot that non-deserving, god damn son of a bastard."
-Same time-In one of Orochimaru's hideouts-
"Sasuke I forgot to tell you. I asked Naruto if he wanted a message to be be relayed and he did. Naruto said that he he would wait for you. Fat chance of that happening," Kimimaro said.
"Hn." Sasuke replied keeping his usual stoic face but his thoughts chaotic. No way! You usuratonkachi! You don't have to do that for me but damn you Kimimaro for not telling me for 3 months! 3 friggin' months. You'd think a person would remember something before a long 3 months have passed. That's a 1/4 of a year!
"I need to get back in training, so excuse me," Sasuke tried to icily say.
"Aww. Poor Naruto is going to be so sad when he hears about how you answered not that he's going to hear it for a long, long time," he taunted." Well... Bye!"
Sasuke fumed in his head, careful not to show it in his face but happy, ecstatic even to think Naruto might have feelings for him even after Sasuke almost killed him. He suddenly paled. What if Naruto died. I did hit him with Chidori. It went through him. Kakashi even came quickly according to Kimimaro. I know you are really strong but please be safe Naruto. I'm sorry. Sasuke suddenly wished that there was a window. He came to realize his feelings for the dobe when he woke up in Orochimaro's hideout. They have been traveling randomly a lot so this hideout wasn't in the same place as the one he woke up in but had something similar: no windows, underground, and similar decorations.
-Same time-In Konoha-
"Tsunade-san. Why did Naruto forget Sasuke?" Sakura whimpered. Sakura loved Sasuke but with all the terrible things happening to Naruto, it was hard to keep doing so. She didn't have the fondest relationship with Naruto but she knew Naruto deserved better.
"Amnesia. Should have known. Get Shizune-chan for me please," Tsunade asked.
"Hai Tsunade-san," she replied. Sakura went off and Tsunade sighed and wished she could drink sake in the hospital.
30 Minutes Later
"Shizune, get the council. I need to make and announce a new law. We will be meeting in the Hokage tower in 45 minutes," Tsunade disclosed.
Shocked, Shizune was only able to squeak," Hai Tsunade-hime."
Shizune was now rushing out to get a few Anbu to do this simple job. Tsunade was sighing again and made her way to the Hokage tower.
-45 minutes later-Hokage tower-
"Tsunade-hime, you better have a good reason for making a new law," Koharu asserted.
"Sasuke left the village. What better reason is there. Not to mention, a shinobi he nearly killed while trying to retrieve him gained amnesia. He only forgot about Sasuke. I want it so no one in the village may talk about Sasuke so the horrible memories wouldn't come back. No one likes their dying moments," she jeered. She really hated Koharu and her I'm-way-more-civil-than-you attitude.
Homura surmised," Is it because of Naruto?"
"Yes," Tsunade said, hanging her head in shame." Naruto has suffered enough. He has problems with his vision now and that could make his memory of Sasuke more painful. Every little thing might remind him of it and make him suicidal."
"Why would I care?" Koharu growled." The kyuubi kid should die anyways."
"KOHARU!" Homura snapped." Naruto is just a boy. He protects us with all his might from the Kyuubi and don't forget it. If he gets depressed or suicidal, the Kyuubi might take advantage of all the negative feelings Naruto has and break out."
"Thank you Homura," Tsunade whispered.
"You are welcome Tsunade. I will make sure the law get sent out to everyone to know. I'll make sure anything that has proof that Sasuke was alive in this village is gone. Just make sure Naruto stays in the hospital of 3 days so I can make it thorough," Koharu divulged.
"Thank you Homura," Tsunade whimpered. Suddenly gaining confidence proclaimed," Keeping Naruto in the hospital for a while will be simple though. Fortunately, he is required to stay there for a week for observation. It's not like Naruto to be sleeping in a coma for 3 months. If it was, it would happen quite often in the past. He healed quickly but slept so long. Something doesn't add up."
Koharu scoffed and stormed away. Homura was most likely proceeding to complete the knowledge of the law. Tsunade sighed and saw Shizune proceeding with a bottle and a small cup in her hands.
"You deserve these," Shizune explained. Tsunade smiled.
"Thanks," she muttered. She poured the liquid within the bottle into the small cup and drank it. Alcohol entered her system. Now full of vigor," I needed that."
"I know," Shizune replied. Tsunade continued to drink the sake, happy that Shizune always knew the exact moments when it was tough and let her drink some sake.
2 weeks later
"Tsunade!" Naruto screamed on par to a banshee. "Guess what?"
"What Naruto?" Tsunade answered not really caring on how Naruto was doing.
"My vision has been getting better," he boasted. Tsunade's head snapped up.
"For how long?" Tsunade asked cautiously.
"Ever since I got out of the hospital. I mean, I can see things so much clearer now. A week ago, I couldn't even read billboards but now I can read menus," he laughted." I still have that limited field of vision but it's gotten bigger. I can tell!"
"Good for you. Soon your vision may heal perfectly," Tsunade sighed happily. Thank goodness it is temporary. "Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Naruto but Gaara is going back to Suna in 3 days. Try to fit the rest of your fun by then... Okay?"
The boy's eyes widened with shock and nodded vigorously. He decided to leap out the window and talk to Gaara.
"NARUTO!" Gaara complained." Get off of me." The blond had tackled Gaara as soon as he saw him; Not that Gaara was complaining. I mean, he thought Naruto had such a cute face and the most perfect... Naruto was pouting. That made Gaara look sideways to keep him from blushing in front of him.
"But Gaara. You didn't tell me you were leaving in 3 days. I wish you would of told me," he whined dejectedly.
Guilt was filling Gaara's head as he replied solemnly," I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier."
"Imagine all the things we counldn't get to do if I didn't learn about it. I mean Tsunade told me," The boy chirped. Naruto felt so happy with Gaara. As if he was next to him all the time yet something was different. It didn't matter anyways since he was happy to stay near him while he could. Ouch! My eyes hurt again. I know they are getting better but why do they hurt so much. I shouldn't tell Tsunade or she'll be really worried.
Gaara saw that Naruto was thinking really hard and joked," Oh? What is it you are thinking about. Ramen?"
Naruto seemed to have a panicked expression before agreeing," Very much so... Hey I'm hungry. Let's go to Ichiraku's Ramen."
Gaara sighed," Okay but I'll pay if you take me to different restaurants for the rest of the time I'm here."
Naruto's face put on the happiest smile. Gaara was so happy that Naruto was so happy.
"Okay! Sure! A free meal at Ichiraku's is worth anything even if I can't eat it for 3 days," Naruto proclaimed to the skies as if they heard him. Gaara laughted at the blonde's antics. His blonde hair seemed to be translucent before Gaara was dragged to Ichiraku's with a 'Hurry up Gaara!' from naruto excited for the free meal.
-Same time-In One of Orochimaru's hideouts-
Sasuke was in the middle of training when suddenly he felt furious. His burst of anger triggered the seal and his chidori was more than perfect. Infact, it destroyed 2 walls before it disappeared. Orochimaru was sneering; He was obviously proud that Sasuke suddenly gained such a strong emotion that it enabled him to destroy walls made of very sturdy material. (don't want to be buried alive)
How did you like it? Please give me reviews telling me what you think. I know some of you Sasuke fans may not like this Sasuke but I want to show is misery to the extreme extent when he finds out of Naruto's condition so don't be so critical about that fact.
Favors - include in reviews - I was wondering if I should make Sasuke have a wet dream about Sasuke.
I want the Sasuke fans to have a say. No matter how small. I'll check a while later to continue the next chapter.
