I do not own Naruto…

Bigfoot 37…I think I fixed it?

Chapter 4

Arashi struggled to stand up, with aid from the blonde medic named Ino. It has been about three days since the bandages had come off completely. His skin somewhat clean, with a washcloth provided for him, the two women realized afterwards that they would need help with other personal things….

Both blushing madly, they had hurried to Tsunade who had realized the situation. That at least one man would be needed to help with some of the more personal things….

Hence she asked for a certain former ANBU…Kakashi.

Once he had promised to do the same things Tsunade had the girls undertake, he was allowed permission to go through and help.

Sakura, had a fit alongside Ino with wanting to see his reaction, once he saw whom he'd be helping.

When the copy ninja had finally arrived at the hospital room, startling the two young women, he had taken one look at him on the bed. He had done something that made all the folks who knew him laugh with surprise.

He passed out…

The normally calm, stoic, silent…and maybe a tad perverted Ninja had passed out at the sight of his former teacher. Sakura startled laughing as Ino tried hard to hide a smirk, even he was amused himself because he remembers his former student quite fondly.

Eventually he had come around with aid from the girls, and he just looked at Arashi in awe.

“What…how….” The silvery haired man asked. “When…”

“We figured out the when Kakashi-sensei.” Sakura chirped as she pointed to his charts. “It states that he was found on the day the Third died, leaking so much chakra, that if they didn't put the special bandages on him immediately to hold it in he would have died. As to what…or the how… Tsunade-sensei is working on that with Sister Shizune.”

Nodding his head in understanding, although the confusion is still there, the two girls had left the former teacher and student alone for a bit. Not only to allow Kakashi to aide him, with some of the more personal things, but to remember the past.

When they had returned a few hours later, the girls were stunned. The beard was gone, to the point it had left a little bit of a goatee and mustache. Hair that was scraggly and dull from dirt was now clean and golden. Cut to just above his shoulders, and stilled the same way a friend does.

All in all, both girls had no doubts now, that this man was indeed Naruto's father.

“Wow...Arashi-san…” Sakura worded with wonder as she looked at him. Ino doing the same, the girls were blatantly in awe. “You really do look like hi…I mean your head on the mountain.

Laughing at her statement, Arashi for the first time in a while feels alive. Still the questions he wishes to ask remain silent. He knows that despite trying to convince his former student to obey him. That there must be a reason, why they are refusing…

Refusing to tell him about his son…

Seeing, the normally cheerful face, that they were used to disappear into one of sadness and questions. The two girls gesture to Kakashi to come to them. Nodding his head, he allows himself to be yanked as they pull him outside. This time, remembering to close the door completely.

“We have to do something Kakashi-sensei!” Sakura whispered. “It isn't right!”

Listening as the girls mutter and get frustrated, Kakashi can't help but agree with their sentiments. But he can also understand the Fifth's need to protect his former student. Considering all that happened, and the rise of Akatsuki recently, from what the Tsunade had received from Konoha's network of spies.

Naruto would certainly be in danger if this was all an elaborate sham. The timing of this with his return sometime the next two weeks was coincidental. But still…these feelings of idolization…trust…friendship.

He had only really felt these around him! His former teacher!

“Kakashi-sensei!” Sakura yelled as she notices the fact he wasn't quite listening. Which she privately admits…isn't really a surprise.

“Hmmm?”

“Grrrrrrr!” Doing a teleportation jutsu in the nick of the time, the young woman spins around for a moment as the copy ninja vanishes.

Trying not to agree, with her friend, Ino just latches onto Sakura's arm and drags her back into the room. Reminding her that it was time to help Arashi's muscles to learn what they were there for again.

Grumbling about injustice, the two girls walk in with determination on their faces as they smile with intent.

“Arashi-san! Time for Therapy!”

Something tells their patient he is not going to like this one bit….

Two weeks later…

His body protesting the abuse it has undergone these past couple of weeks, Arashi with the aide of a cane, had been able to walk small distances that he needed to on his own now. Both girls had relished in taking out some kind of frustration on his body, with a jutsu that the other woman had used when he first woke up.

So although he is still far from what he had been once, he was able to function somewhat like a normal human. The first week Kakashi had been with him, to help with some of the more personal nature of things. Not to mention, that when neither Ino nor Sakura could make it, he helped his former sensei work his body as best he could. But this last week it has been the girls mostly, according to them Tsunade needed Kakashi to go a mission of some importance.

Still with the vast improvements, he contributed to in the healing of his body with what little medical jutsus he knows. He has been steadily gaining what strength he has lost.

Using them has always left him exhausted and quite tired afterwards. He had almost panicked Sakura, one morning when he didn't wake up. They had even gotten Tsunade, to check on him.

It was interesting to say the least, as she had apparently not changed in those brief times he had met her with his sensei Jiriaya. He grinned a little bit as Ino and Sakura had gotten the nerve to ask him about her case of bad luck all the time once he had recognized her.

Needless to say…the two were still regretting that action as the elder blonde set them off on the training and errand session, by what Ino called it, from hell. But once, the Godaime had realized what progress the two had made, he was restricted to just Ino or Sakura every day. No longer could both girls visit him at the same time. Admittedly he was a little disappointed…

Heading outside towards the open window, the man is startled as a familiar puff of smoke enters the room in front of him. Perched on the open sill...

“Yo!”

“So you're back Kakashi…” Arashi grins

Nodding his head, the two converses as the once teacher and student now become friends….

-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-

Next one or the one after I plan on Naruto and Jiriaya coming back…. This is somewhat of a prologue of sorts these last few chapters, before I really get started. I never liked the stories where people bring the Fourth back and he instantly fights or knows everything….

Didn't seem realistic…

Anyhow whether or not Father and son meet then…I don't know yet…but I doubt it. Depends on how they cooperate in my head.

And it looks like they won't….heh
