Chapter 22

A day had passed when Naruto slowly woke up. Monkey's head snapped up. "He's waking up." He calls out to the others who had been settled around the room where they have Naruto hidden away.

Ibiki and Dragon rushes over as Anko jumps down from the small window she had been leaning against as the other ANBU rushed off the let Naruto's brother's and sister's know he was walking up.

"Mhm…." Escaped Naruto's lips.

"Naruto." Ibiki said with a gentleness no one never knew he held.

"Mhm…." Naruto hummed.

"How are you feeling?"

Slowly Naruto open his eyes. Closing them quickly at the bright light of the lamp next to his bed. He tries once more. "My head hurts and I have a nasty taste in my mouth. I also feel like I was ran over by a boulder." He tells Ibiki.

Ibiki chuckles. "I rather have you feeling that way than any other way." He tells the boy.

"Did you hit your head Ibiki?" Naruto questions as Monkey begins to check Naruto over and gives the boy something for his headache and some water in hopes to wash away the nasty taste from his mouth.

"Once Monkey release you. We'll go for ramen." Commander Dragon said with a chuckle. Watching the boy with a chuckle as Naruto brightens up as it had been a few months since he was allowed to go to have his food of the Gods.

"YAY!" Naruto cheers.

Several days later

Naruto was allowed to return to his friends and his class work. Walking through the classroom door the room grows quiet.

"Naruto?" Ino calls out.

"Huh?" Naruto answers blinking looks a little confused as he walks into the classroom.

Before he knew what happened he was dogpiled upon by all his friends. "Naruto are you okay. We have been worried about you!" All the kids said as one.

With a small giggle Naruto tried to push himself out of the center of the dogpile. "Yeah, I'm better…as best as I can be after being poisoned. But better." He told them.

Quickly they all get off of him after hearing he had been poisoned. "What?" they all say as one.

"Yeah, it appeared someone is after me and ANBU is now placing more guards in our play area. To make sure this doesn't happen again." Naruto tells them.

"Troublesome. I knew it had to be something along those lines when we found the broken seal." Shikamaru said as she broke the silence.

Now this had Naruto's brow arching. "Someone broke one of my seals?" he asked the Nara.

"Yeah. We are still trying to make a new one. It's on the table. All the ones I make keep….blowing up." Shikamaru tells him.

This has Naruto bouncing towards the table to look at the seal that had been broken. "Oh. Yeah your not at book 4 yet. That is why it keeps blowing up. I'm shock that old prev didn't try fixing it." He said with a playful smile.

"He tried by Anko's snakes kept trying to bite him." Kiba told him snickering.

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Cheap bastard couldn't use his own supplies?" He question looking at the others who shook their heads no.

"Give me a minute and I'll have a new seal made and I'll have Ox go and place it on our playground. For I'm sure you guys haven't been out there since my accident." Naruto said looking at them.

"No." Shino told him as his bugs buzzed with annoyance.

"Done." Naruto Exclaimed with a grin as Ox walked into the room. "I have the new seal for you to replaced the old one." Naruto told him.

"Okay kid." Ox told him with a smile under his mask as he goes up in a swirl of leaves.

This is the make up for the really short chapter.
