Let's get this show on the road shall we


Tsunade looked down at the boy in front of her, heart monitors and brain wave monitors attached to his body, oxygen mask over his mouth, restraints on his wrists holding him down in case he tried to attack again.

"Well Kakashi I don't know what to say..." Tsunade said softly.

"Please I can't lose him. Just do something, anything." Kakashi begged.

"Okay. I'll do what I can." She replied.

"First I'll have to take this thing out." She said as she pointed to the scan they had taken of Sasuke's head, she was pointing at the small microchip that was embedded into the side of the teenager's brain.

Kakashi nodded and watched as Tsunade put on some gloves and picked up a scalpel she cut into the boy's head and started cutting through layers of flesh, she stopped once she got to his skull.

Tsunade set the scalpel and picked up a drill and started to carefully drill into the boy's skull she put the skull fragment on the table and once that was done and his brain was revealed she looked carefully as she eyed the small device and set the drill down and picked up a pair of medical tweezers. She grabbed the small chip with the tweezers and pulled it out, then put a hand gently on the side of his brain where it started to bleed and healed it using her chakra, once that was done she patched up his skull and healed his head again as she stitched up the part of the back of his head.

Kakashi watched her the whole time waiting patiently.

"Is he okay?" He asked.

"He should be." Tsunade said as she watched to see what would happen.

Sasuke's eyes flickered open once then closed again, Kakashi got up and pulled up a chair next to the bed he was lying on. "Sasuke." He called softly.

Sasuke didn't move an inch bet he let out a small whimper.

"Sasuke." Kakashi called again.

Sasuke's eyes flickered again and he finely opened them.

"Hey." Kakashi said placing his hand on top of Sasuke's head feeling his soft raven hair.

"Ngh...hey. My head hurts." Sasuke moaned trying to reach up to touch his aching head but found his wrist was still strapped down. "Why...?" Sasuke asked through tired eyes.

"You tried to attack Tsunade when you woke up once." Kakashi said as he reached over and unstrapped Sasuke's wrist.

Sasuke moved his hand to his head and he felt an injury to the head, he assumed they had taken out the mind control device.

"I performed a surgery on your head that why it hurts. We found a microchip in your brain, that's what has been controlling you."

"I know." Sasuke said softly.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Kakashi asked.

"I didn't get the chance to." Sasuke whispered.

Kakashi nodded and watched Sasuke as he spoke.

"Madara did the implant on me when I was awake, no drugs or anything. " Sasuke said softly.

"I can see that. The injury was slightly infected but I got it healed properly." Tsunade replied looking down at the boy sternly.

"When can I go home?" Sasuke asked.

"You'll be staying with me." Kakashi said looking at Sasuke with his bored like expression.

Sasuke gave him a confused look so Kakashi reminded him about the Uchiha mansion and how it had been burned down.

Sasuke nodded in understanding. "Okay, but when can I leave?" he asked.

"In a few hours. I want to make sure your brain is still functioning properly. So I'm going to do some more tests." Tsunade said to Sasuke who just nodded.

~Later at Kakashi's house~

Sasuke and Kakashi walked through the door and into the living room.

Kakashi closed the door behind him and watched as Sasuke wondered over to the couch and laid down. "You hungry?" Kakashi asked the teen.

"Yeah." Sasuke said tiredly.

"I'll go get something from the store. I'm calling Naruto and Sakura over to watch over you." Kakashi said.

"I'm not a dog Kakashi." Sasuke said coldly.

"I know. I'm just being careful. Madara is still out there, and you are still injured and weak. Do you know what you want to eat?" Kakashi questioned looking at Sasuke expectantly.

"Tomato sandwich...and some rice." Sasuke answered.

"Is that it?" Kakashi asked.

"Yeah." Sasuke said with a nod of his head.

There was a knock on the door and Naruto and Sakura walked in.

"Okay. I'll be back later you three." The white haired man said with a yawn, it was getting late and he was worn out by today's events too.

"Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed happily running over to him and hugging him tightly.

"You're alright! We were so worried!" She cried.

Sasuke's gasped for breath she was holding him a bit too tight, and she had knocked the wind out of him.

Naruto shook his head. "Sakura-chan ease up the grip a little bit your choking him." He laughed.

Sakura looked up into Sasuke's startled eyes and let go. "Sorry Sasuke-kun I guess I forgot about you still injured." She said softly.

"It's alright." Sasuke replied, then looked at Naruto.

"Hey Dobe." Sasuke said with a smile.

"Hey Teme." Naruto chuckled.

"I still can't believe we were able to form that attack and kill the nine tailed fox, I mean you were badly injured enough. Tsunade said your heart stopped four times when she was trying to heal your injuries when you got in the hospital at first. That was before she helped with that thing controlling you." Naruto said.

"Really? It was that bad?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah. We were both really worried. We thought you wouldn't make it. But yet here you stand." Naruto laughed. Sasuke couldn't help but chuckle either. "Yeah. Still a little sore though." Sasuke said with a nod. "I bet, you took quite a hit from the fox."

Then the three students of Team 7 sat down to talk about things and about what had happened.

~An Hour Later~

Kakashi walked through the door to see Sasuke asleep and Naruto and Sakura talking about stuff.

"Hey Kakashi sensei!" Naruto said happily.

"Hey. How long he been asleep?" Kakashi asked as he carried in the food while Sakura and Naruto helped put it away.

"A while." Sakura replied.

Kakashi walked over to Sasuke who was sleeping on one of the couches and kneeled down to try and wake him. he shook him a little bit and Sasuke raised his hand to try and shoo his hand away while letting out a moan.

Kakashi chuckled at this. "Sasuke its me. I'm back and you need to eat something." Kakashi said.

Sasuke's ears perked upon hearing Kakashi's voice, he opened his eyes and yawned as he sat up.

Kakashi went to the kitchen and made Sasuke a tomato sandwich and then Naruto and Sakura left after saying goodbye to Sasuke.

Kakashi came back with the sandwich on a plate then handed it to Sasuke. Then after he was done eating they both went to bed. Though totally unaware of the red Sharingan eyes watching Sasuke as he went to his room.


Yay Sasuke's okay!
