He awoke to find himself lying on the floor; Teuchi standing over him. "Naruto. Naruto"

Naruto sat up, holding his head. He must have hit it when he fell. "Wh-What happened?"

"You blacked out for a moment. Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" He helped Naruto get to his feet.

"No. I'm okay. I just need to rest. That's all." He reached into his pocket for his money.

Teuchi shook his head. "No need. It's on the house."

Naruto turned to find the stool he sat on flung across the room and the bowl of ramen spread along the floor, bowl shattered. "Sorry, old man."

"Don't worry about it. Get on home and rest." He watched Naruto as he left the restaurant with deep concern. "You need to take it easy, Naruto. You've saved the village enough." He thought.

Naruto headed back home feeling dizzy along the way and occasionally bumping into light poles or house walls. "What's going on? I was perfectly fine not long ago."

Opening the door to his house he took off his shoes and closing the door behind him he headed straight for his room. It was a mess as usual but he didn't care. Sitting down on his bed he began to change his clothes. But as he did so he noticed something strange on his arm. A long and extending scratch from his wrist to his elbow. He wasn't sure when he had received it but he was sure it wasn't during training. Just then he became ever more dizzy and fell against his bed. He lay there, gasping for air. It felt as though a huge weight were put against his chest. Then he heard the sound.
