Love Wouldn't Be Love Without Obstacles

Part 9: Hope

Naruto Uzumaki was sitting in the waiting room in the hospital, curled up into fetus position, crying his eyes out. Suddenly Tsunade-the 5th Hokage-walked into the room, rushing towards the ER. "Naruto? What are you doing here?" she asked a crying Naruto, but he didn't answer. "Naruto?" she said again. "Please Tsunade-sama… Please save Kiba-kun… I love him… He's my everything" Naruto barely said, full of sobs. "Your everything…?" the tall blonde said, looking at Naruto. She put her hand on his shoulder and said; "I will do everything to save your Kiba-kun". She winked at him and walked into the ER.

Those kind words kind of made Naruto feel a bit better but they still couldn't completely cheer him up. Yes, Tsunade was one of the best medical-nin, but what if she was too late this time?

Naruto was looking at the ground, remembering his times with Kiba;

/FLASHBACK/

(These flashbacks are before the events of this story)

"Hey Naruto!" Kiba greeted Naruto.

"Hey Kiba!" the blond greeted back.

"Me, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji and Lee are going to do some training! Want to join us?" Kiba said, smiling.

"Sure!" Naruto started walking, tripping over himself. The Inuzuka teenager quickly reacted and caught Naruto in mid-air. They were looking at each other deeply into each other's eyes. "Ugh… Kiba… You can let me go now" Naruto said, blushing and looking away. "Oh… Yeah, sorry about that" Kiba also blushed and looked away, putting Naruto on his feet.

/ANOTHER FLASHBACK/

"Geez Naruto… you eat like a pig… No, worse!" Kiba sighed when he was looking at Naruto, eating a bunch of food.

"I'm hungry! I haven't eaten in like 2 days!" the munching blond said, putting more food into his mouth.

"I wonder how it's like being a bottomless pit" Sakura said.

"I haven't eaten this much in 2 years than he ate in 2 minutes" the brunette said, laughing. He tried to grab a slice of bread, only to be touched by Naruto's hand, who was trying to do the same thing. The two boys looked at each other and blushed. They quickly turned away with their cheeks still bright red.

/ANOTHER FLASHBACK/

(This flashback is during the events of this story)

Kiba softly cupped Naruto's face with his hand and passionately French kissed him. He added; "I love you, Naruto-kun".

/END OF FLASHBACKS/

The blond boy was still crying his eyes out, hoping that the medical team will save the love of his life. Thousandths went to hundredths, hundredths went to seconds, seconds went to minutes and minutes to hours.

Meanwhile in the ER, Tsunade, Sakura and the rest of the medical team were doing their best to save Kiba Inuzuka. "Izumi! Give me a chakra boost!" the tall blonde woman shouted. Izumi ran to her, placed her arms on her shoulders and started giving her chakra to her mentor. Even though Tsunade was putting all her strength into the healing process it was still recovering very slowly; the injuries were very high.

Tsume-Kiba's mother-came running into the hospital and saw a crying Naruto. "Naruto!" she said and ran towards him. "Tsume?" Naruto said and looked at her. He stood and she caught him with a hug. He was crying his eyes out on her shoulders. Tsume petted his back and said; "Don't worry… Tsunade-sama is the best of the best, she'll take care of our Kiba… And don't worry, I know about you two and I'm completely fine with it. As long as my little Kiba's happy, I'm happy too".

A few hours later they were still sitting in the waiting room, sipping some tea. Kiba's mother managed to make Naruto stop cry and actually bring some giggles and laughs out of him.

"I remember when Kiba was 5 years old, he was running with Akamaru around the house and he tripped, fell over and hit his head on a tree. I couldn't stop making him cry" she said, laughing out loud.

"Um… Tsume-sama… Can I ask you something?" the shy blond said. "Huh? Sure! Oh and you don't need to call me –sama anymore, we're practically family!" the brunette woman said, bursting into a proud laugh. "Are you really okay that me and Kiba are… dating? Wouldn't you prefer that he was seeing a girl?" Naruto asked, looking down into his cup of tea. "Well to be honest, of course I'd rather see him with a girl. But if he's happy with such a wonderful boy, then I'm happy for him too. Parents just want their children to be happy, if it's with a boy or a girl" she said with a smile. "So don't worry, you'll always be welcome at my house so next time you don't have to sneak out and pretend you just came" Tsume added, winking. "You know about that?" Naruto blushed. Tsume started laughing and said; "Of course I know! Do you really think this it's that easy to get around this nose?"

It was starting to get dark and Tsume and Naruto were still waiting in the waiting room. "I think I'm going to go home. What about yo-" Tsume said but stopped when she turned to a sleeping Naruto. She smiled and put him on a sofa that was in the room. She walked through the door with a smile on her face and quietly said to herself; "Kiba really struck on a gold mine this time."

Tsunade and her medical team were doing her best, even throughout the night.

"I need a break" a medical-nin said. "A break?" Tsunade shouted. "We're saving someone's life here! And not just anyone's; the next Hokage's lover!" she added with an angry expression on her face. The medical-nin became embarrassed and continued with her work. "I know how it's like to lose someone you love from the bottom of your heart and I will not put Naruto trough that! He's the village's next Hokage and one of the best people I have ever met!" the tall blonde kept shouting.

"Tsunade-sama! His condition is getting worse!" another medical-nin shouted in panic. Tsunade and Sakura increased their chakra flow. Kiba was coughing and tears were coming from his eyes from all the pain. "Damn it! This kid will not die! Not while I'm here!" Tsunade was thinking to herself.

Somewhere during the night the door of the ER opened and Tsunade walked out. The sudden light waked Naruto up. "Huh? Tsunade-sama? How's Kiba? Is he okay?"! Naruto asked with his heart and soul full of hope.
