Chapter 2: Naruto's ending

Today is the day that everything ends for Naruto. As he was sat on the hospital bed he was still shocked that he couldn't feel his legs let alone move them.

"Morning babe how are you feeling" he pink haired girl asked as she walked over to Naruto and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Morning Sakura, I'm nervous Tsunade is giving me the results soon" Naruto said as he held on to the girl's hand.

"Want me to stay with you?" she asked and got a quick nod.

As Sakura was just about to sit down in the chair next to Naruto's bed, the door slid open to reveal Tsunade and Shizuna.

"Good morning and how are we all feeling today" Shizuna asked as the two women walked over to Naruto and Sakura.

"Okay, have you gotten my results" Naruto asked a little impatient.

"Yes Naruto I have." Tsunade said taking a deep breath. "Naruto, you have obviously injured your lower back, and well…you may not be able to walk again let alone play basketball" Tsunade finished and watched as shock and horror danced its way across Naruto's face.

"We're truly sorry Naruto, there is a slim chance that you will be able to walk again but you will be given therapy to help you, to see if we can increase that chance" Shizuna said as she held the boys other hand and squeezed it gently.

"Does that mean I won't be able to play basketball again" Naruto asked disbelieving what he is hearing.

"I'm afraid so, even if you do manage to walk and run, one wrong move and you can be paralysed for ever…BUT if you do start to walk and run again if you rest your body after achieving that much you might be able to play basketball" Tsunade said as she watched Naruto to begin to tear up.

Both women said their goodbyes and left the room feeling really bad for Naruto. They have known him for nearly 3 years, as he comes into the children's ward and plays with them and plays basketball with the more abled children.

Today was the day that Naruto's life ended. Sakura was shocked to hear what they had to say and was still holding onto the now crying Naruto. She then shaped her-self out of the daze and brought Naruto into her arms for comfort.

"Everything is going to be okay Naruto, I'll be with you 100% of the way" Sakura said but then thought 'how am I going to help him through this, it's hard enough to hear what they had to say, I mean what about my reputation at school, what will my friends think if I'm always helping him' Sakura thought as she released the hug of the crying blonde.

"I'll be right back babe, I'm going to get something from the cafeteria want something?" she asked but Naruto shuck his head and brought his hands up to his face and cried even more.

XX Sasuke's POV XX

I walked into school, remembering that the blonde that always sits three seat in front of would not be there. As I made my way to my seat Neji and the others soon joined me.

"Hey Sasuke, did you hear about Naruto?" Kiba said as he looked at him with concerned eyes.

"Yeah, I saw what happened" I said as I looked at the shocked reactions from all of them.

"Y…Y…You mean y…you saw everything" a girl with long midnight blue hair asked me her name is Hinata, Neji's cousin.

"Yes Hinata I did, I even shouted the blonde to move but I was too late" I said as I looked down at my books.

"Did you…" a boy with black hair, pale skin and black eyes just like me started but was swiftly cut off.

"Please take your seats and get out your books thank you" a man with black hair and a beard asked us as he came and sat down in his usual chair with a stupid grin on his face.

"Sir, where's Naruto Uzumaki" a girl with blonde hair asked, she was new to the school and was still curious about things.

"Naruto Uzumaki…huh…he's in the hospital being treated for an injury that took place last night" Asuma-sensei said as he sat up straight in his chair.

*knock, knock, knock*

"Enter" he said as the door slid open to reveal Itachi and Sakura.

"Good morning sorry to be a bother but I need to talk to you all about the incident that took place last night outside the gym" Itachi said as he nodded to Sakura to go and take her usual seat next to the blonde haired girl.

"Please go ahead" Asuma said handing everyone over to Itachi.

"As you may have heard Naruto Uzumaki was hit by a car yesterday after his victory in the championship, alongside his team mates. Naruto is now lying in hospital unable to walk" Itachi started and there were a lot of whispers and gasps coming from everyone. "Naruto has been given a very slim chance that he will be able to walk again let alone run" Itachi paused again and reworded what he was going to say next. "Naruto, at this point needs all the support he can get, the doctors have told him that he might never again be able to play basketball, but has the slightest chance he can, so please once he returns back to school give him your full support he will need this, thank you" Itachi said as he bowed to the class and asked if there were any questions but no one answered so he took his leave and let everyone else go back to their lesson.

I was shocked to hear the Naruto might never walk or run or play basketball, but that didn't stop him from having Naruto as his own. As he made extra notes during this lesson and the other lessons so that he could give them to Naruto to keep him updated I noticed that Sakura was far too happy for his liking and was watching him more frequently alongside Ino the new blonde haired girl I mentioned earlier.

"Hey Sasuke, will you be visiting Naruto later" a boy with red hair asked in a husky tone.

"Yeah Gaara I will wanna come with I'm sure Naruto would like to see us" I said and got a simple nod in return.

"I'll meet you by your car after school" Gaara said and headed off with Hinata.

*Bell rings*

"Yo' Sasuke wait up" Kiba shouted running down the hall with the others as they made their way into the cafeteria for lunch.

"So we all going to visit Naruto later with you if that's okay" Neji asked as the group of friends caught up with him.

"Sure" Sasuke said as he watched Sakura call Naruto to check up on him for the second time this day.

As the group sat in the cafeteria they were all talking about school and how boring it was.

"Neji lend me your math notes I didn't finish copying them" Sasuke asked as he turned to the page with the maths they had just done.

"What do you want that for, it's lunch time not work time, have a break Sasuke" Neji said as he took out his note book and turned to the right page.

"Hey Sasuke why have you been taking more notes down than usual, you never take that many notes" Sai asked as he sat down next to Ino.

"There not just for me, I thought I would keep Naruto up to date with all the work" Sauske said as he started copying the work down into his note book.

"That's not half bad Sasuke, I think I will make extra notes in art today for him" Kiba said but everyone knew he would do very little so Neji looked at him saying that he would do it.

XX Earlier at the hospital XX

"Naruto babe I have to go, school starts soon and please take your time" Sakura said as she kissed him goodbye and walked out the room.

After what seemed like hours to Naruto but minutes to Deidara who walked in to the room after Sakura left did Naruto notice him!

"Hey kiddo, how you feeling" Deidara said as he sat in the recently unoccupied chair.

"I'm fine Deidara, just I…erm…I" Naruto started but couldn't finish as tears began to leak from his eyes.

"I heard about your injuries and Itachi has gone to your school asking for all the support they can give you seen as you will be in a wheelchair for a fair while" Deidara said just as two nurses brought one in for him to try out.

"Yeah I…I…I know" he said wiping away his tears.

The nurses and Deidara helped him into the wheelchair and allowed him to have a go at moving by him-self. But Naruto was struggling as his back started to hurt so Deidara gently picked him up while Naruto wrapped his arms around the boy's neck as he placed him back on to the bed.

"Don't try and push yourself, you have got time to get back on your feet I promise" Deidara said as he watched the boy looking at his cold pale hands.

Deidara took both of Naruto's hands into his and told him that everything was going to be fine and he didn't need to worry about anything at the moment.

Later that day after the final bell of the school day everyone who had said they would visit Naruto did, Sasuke gave him his notes which he had photocopied for him along with all the others notes. They stayed for a fare while and talked and laughed which cheered Naruto up a lot. Sasuke kept glancing over at Sakura who was acting differently to what she usually acted, but Sasuke shrugged it off for now only to keep Naruto happy.
