Naru/Tsu/Anko
Chapter 1: Actions & Consequences
Naruto was once again chasing down Tora, who is running through the forest just outside the village, the determined blonde chases after the troublesome feline as she attempts to flee into a cave. Hinata is worried about Naruto, who hadn't returned yet.
"You guys think N-Naruto-kun is OK? I-I mean he hasn't come back with Tora yet."
"Do not worry Hinata, Naruto will be all right!" Lee reassured her.
"I hope you're right, Lee." Hinata said, not sounding convinced.
Naruto entered the cave looking for the cat, he didn't care for caves, but he couldn't let Tora get away.
"Hello? Tora, here kitty kitty, where are you?" Naruto called out.
It took Naruto another three hours of searching the cave to find the bothersome cat, picking her up Naruto began to make his way back towards the exit.
Everyone else had returned to the village, obviously except for Naruto, the Hokage was stunned by this blatant act of betrayal.
"Why are you all back here and where are Naruto and Tora!?"
"We left the idiot in the cave he went after that stupid cat." Kiba said with an annoyed snort.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Tsunade roared, shattering all the windows in the tower at once.
A large black bear appeared in front of the blonde, he knew that he had to protect the cat as well as himself. The large black bear stood up and its back legs, now towering over Naruto.
The bear swiped at Naruto with one massive paw, he turned and threw Tora out of the way and took the blow in the back.
"AHHHHH!" Naruto screamed as the scent of blood filled the air, the blonde is now lying on the ground in a growing pool of blood. completely at the bear's mercy.
The next morning, as soon the storm died down, Tsunade was taken to the cave that Naruto had gone into after Tora, Kiba and Sakura had been demoted to Eternal Genin for what they had done to Naruto.
Naruto groggily opened his eyes, his head hurt like a bitch and his back was feeling about the same, he slowly sat up and looked around, then feeling Tora's soft, tiny tongue lightly brush the left side of his face.
"You didn't run off me huh, well, let's get outta here, Baa-chan is probably worried sick by now.
Just then a nearby wall exploded and Tsunade stood in the hole she'd made, her honey colored eyes blazing with worry.
"Naruto, you're OK!" the Hokage squealed as she hurried over to the younger blonde embracing him tightly, Tsunade jumped back when she felt Naruto's back.
"Oh God, wh-what happened to you, N-Naruto, did Tora-?" "No Tsunade, a bear attacked us and I had to keep Tora safe." Naruto said.
Naruto was taken to the hospital by Tsunade, Naruto's injuries were drastically worse and required surgery. Head Surgeon Doctor Jeannine Rodgers came out into the waiting room and addressed Tsunade, Jiriya, Teuchi, Ayame, and Shizune. "Lady Hokage, Naruto suffered massive internal bleeding and trauma, it was good that he was brought in when he was or he could have easily died in that cave."
"When will Naruto be out of surgery?" "Sometime within the hour, you can see him then." she said before walking away from the Hokage.
