Chapter 9: Alive

 

“Get this kid to the ICU stat!” said a doctor. Naruto lay on a stretcher with an oxygen tank attached to him. He was being zoomed down hallways at quick speed and people were all around the stretcher.

 

“Jeez, it's not like we are in a MAJOR hospital, this is one of the few villages to remain less technologically oriented. I mean, does this place even have an ICU?!” said Kiba with the rest of his bandmates and Snow following.

 

“Yes…the only thing about this place is the feudal system, the use of ninjas, and jutsu techniques. We still use modern technology…” said a nurse.

 

“Well not much, and you still didn't answer Kiba's question to full extent. What do we have as an ICU?” asked Shikamaru.

 

“…..Tsunade.” said the nurse.

 

“Oh! Well never mind then….” said Shikamaru.

 

“It's ok Naruto…..Tsunade will fix you up, and you'll be ok….” said Snow.

 

“Thank god we happened to show up when you were trying to carry Naruto.” said Kiba.

 

“Yeah…I never would've made it to the village on time with his weight on top…Thank you so much Kiba-kun and Akamaru-kun!” said Snow.

 

“Well, I wouldn't worry TOO much….Naruto never has been one to die, especially with Kyuubi in him trapped. I'm sure Kyuubi would keep Naruto going because he knows that when Naruto dies, so does he.” said Sasuke.

“It was- I mean is the same way with Shukaku.” said Gaara.

 

*explanation*

When Shukaku was taken out of Gaara, he thought it would be for good, but the Akatsuki accidentally released it in its spirit form. Shukaku's spirit could only go back to Gaara because he was the only person left that could hold him. You see, Shukaku could only go back into the vessel he was sealed into because the bodies of others are too far developed to be able to adjust to the chakra levels. It has to be when they are just born that he is sealed, and he wasn't going to look around for any babies being born with the Akatsuki on his tail.

 

Now, Gaara can control it more, and his sand powers are back to normal. When Shukaku was gone, he still had powers over sand, but not as powerful and he couldn't do them as much. During that time, he trained himself physically so in case his defense is useless, he can still use his bare hands and feet.

*end explanation*

 

“I just hope there isn't too much damage…” said Shikamaru.

 

“Tsunade-sama! We have a patient in urgent need of attention!! He did battle with a demon!!” said a doctor.

 

“What?! A demon? Who is it?!”

 

“Uzumaki Naruto.”

 

“NARUTO?! Oh shit….Bring him in now!”

 

They brought in the stretcher and had to make sure his friends did not get in the way. They placed him in front of Tsunade and she gasped at all the wounds he had.

 

“What the hell happened?!” said Tsunade.

 

“He was battling my ex-boyfriend! He was hit by a direct attack to the stomach similar to Rasengan! He was also hit in three places by ice shards and many others scratched him…” said Snow.

“Not to mention he has two cracked ribs…” said Tsunade as she checked him out. “SHIT! He has a damaged liver! It's shutting down! It also seems one of his wrists is broken and he has severe internal damage around his stomach and his seal!”

 

“Tsunade, I need to get these kids out of here, permission?” said a nurse.

 

“Permission granted!! I can't have a bunch of worried kids here while I explain that Naruto is de-OH SHIT! I'M SUCH A BAKA!!” she said as she began to tear up.

 

“WHAT?! NO!!! MY NARUTO CAN'T BE DEAD!!!” screamed Yuki, tears welling in her eyes.

 

“NO!! NARUTO WILL MAKE IT!!!” yelled Kiba, his voice cracking and his eyes becoming hot.

 

“GET THEM OUT OF HERE!!!” yelled Tsunade, holding back a sob and attempting to revive Naruto.

 

The nurses and doctors pushed back the grieving and shocked crowd and then shut the door, leaving one nurse to talk to the crowd.

 

“Now, I know what it sounds like…but never give up hope! Tsunade-sama is the best doctor I've ever seen and she has revived patients many times bef-”

 

“BUT NARUTO WAS IN MY ARMS! I FELT HIS PULSE!! HIS WARMTH! HE CAN'T BE DEAD!!!” screamed Snow as she interrupted the nurse.

 

“I-I'm…I'm sorry, but keep having faith…” was all the nurse could say to the distraught crowd.

 

*IN THE ICU ROOM*

“Alright! I'm initiating a pulse generating shock in 3! 2! 1! *THUNK!* An electric shock jolted from the Hokage's hands to the boys chest and she felt for a pulse. “DAMN IT!! I AM GOING FOR ANOTHER IN 3! 2! 1! *THUNK!* She then checked for a pulse and gasped. “I got a pulse!! Get me some ice now!! We need to get it on his head!! His nerves are overloading and overheating his body!!”

 

They got some ice and placed it on his head and his upper chest as the teen shook and trembled in the bed. “He's going into shock!! I'm administering a shock-reducing jutsu!” Her hands glowed green and she placed them on Naruto's chest until his trembling slowed and stopped.

 

“OH SHIT!! I ADMINISTERED IT TOO QUICK!! IT FLATLINED HIM!! I'M ADMINISTERING A SHOCK!” *THUNK!* Nothing. “No pulse! ADMINISTERING SECOND SHOCK!!” *THUNK!* Still no pulse. “GOD DAMN IT KID!! HERE GOES A THIRD!!” *THUNK!* And yet again nothing.

 

“NO!! Damn it…” she sobbed. “DON'T YOU DIE ON ME!! NOT YOU TOO!!! NOT LIKE MY BROTHER!!! NOT LIKE MY TEAMATE!!” She screamed and cried when suddenly a reddish-orange glow surrounded her hands.

 

“Tsunade-sama? I have never seen you use a jutsu like that before…” said a doctor.

 

“I'm not doing it…IT'S KYUUBI!! I WOKE HIM UP!!” she said, realizing the glow was from Naruto. She felt for a pulse and then smiled. “His pulse is normal!! Kyuubi is restoring him!!”

 

*WAITING ROOM*

Gaara sat down, his legs crossed and his hands pressed together as if meditating or charging his chakra. Some people stared, including some of his friends, at least the one's not crying.

 

“….Gaara?” asked Sasuke catching the shinobi's attention though Gaara only showed it by raising his eyebrow while keeping his eyes shut. “Why are you meditating right now? I mean, are you concentrating your energy on Naruto or something?” Only silence.

“C'mon Gaara! Out with it!” Still the red-haired teen simply ignored him, narrowing his brows as if annoyed. “Gaara?!”

 

“Silence.” he said, causing the others to turn and stare, some with tears in their eyes. Other people were there too such as Sakura who was sobbing on a chair and Kakashi with his hands under his chin making him look worried as ever but still containing his calm essence. “I need to concentrate…” said Gaara.

 

“What do you mean you need to-”

 

“Wait, look.” said Kankuro who was also sitting with the large group. He pointed out that Gaara's gourd (which he started to carry with him again) was open, meaning he was using sand for something. “He must be using The Eye of Sand.” said Kankuro.

 

“Ohh, he's trying to see what's going in on the operati-mmph!” said Kiba as Kankuro placed a hand on his mouth, hoping the nurses didn't hear.

 

Kiba and a couple others then moved in close to Gaara in a semi-circle. “So Gaara…” asked Kiba, “how's he doing?....”

 

“Shhhhhh….” said Gaara in response.

 

“C'mon Gaara! Just tell us!” whispered Shikamaru.

 

“Tch…He's got a pulse.”

 

“YES!!!!” yelled Kiba loudly, causing everyone in the room to stare while he was glared at by Kankuro, Shikamaru, and especially Gaara. “I mean uh…sorry..?” said Kiba as he backed out of the room. `Awkward!' he thought to himself.

 

*OPERATING ROOM*

“Alright! Pulse regained! You two get to work on those cuts and minor fractures, the rest of you back up! I'm administering a healing jutsu to his insides!” She did hand signs and her hands glowed blue as she placed them around Naruto's seal.

“RRRR!! Grrr…” Naruto growled and showed fanged teeth but did not wake up. He made a low growl and instinctively scratched Tsunade on the face.

 

“Ow!!” she yelled. “No don't worry please” she said as she quickly healed part of the injury and went back to working on Naruto. He continued to struggle unconsciously, but he the other doctors held him down.

 

“Alright, the tissues should be connected and the cells restored.” said Tsunade. “It is still damaged but it'll heal in a few weeks. Now, get me Hyuuga Hinata.”

 

Five minutes later, the timid shinobi was in the operating room, gasping at the damage done to Naruto. “Oh no!! Naruto!”

 

“Don't worry, he'll be okay….with your help.”

 

“Okay…” said Hinata sheepishly but she looked up and nodded confidently with an “Mm hm!”

 

“Good, I need you to find each chakra point, or nerve, that is damaged and stop the chakra from flowing out of it.” said Tsunade.

 

“You-you mean you w-want me to….t-to do 64 Points on Naruto?! While he's already hurt?!”

 

“…Yes, but more like 20 Points and don't worry, we'll stabilize him, but just be as gentle as you can.”

 

“Alright….Here goes!” Hinata got into a small pose and than quickly hit every point with here finger, a blue burst of chakra bursting from each hit.

 

Naruto winced and growled in pain, struggling fiercely at the new pain in his body. Tsunade quickly did a small healing jutsu and suppressed the angry demon possessed teen.

 

“Alright, his nerves have stopped overloading and releasing chakra. He should be stabilizing. How are the broken bones?” Tsunade asked her team of doctors.

 

“They're being mended. They should be healed in about two to three weeks. Though he has so many of them, he'll be out for about a month or two.” said the lead doctor.

 

“Oh he isn't going to like that…”

 

“Nope……I don't like it one…bit” said Naruto weakly.

 

“He's awake!! Naruto!!” said Hinata as she went to his side.

 

“Hin-Hin…Hinata?.....it-it sure is good to…see you here….”

 

“Oh Naruto-kun! We thought we'd lost you!” she sobbed, tears in her eyes.

 

“Tell the others, let them visit shortly and then let him rest.” said Tsunade to her doctors.

 

“Yes Tsunade-sam-…um…Tsunade-sama? They are already at the door…”

“What? How weird…It's like they knew he was okay or something…maybe their bonds are stronger than I thought…Hey! What's that?!” said Tsunade, pointing to something sandy in the corner behind a lamp.

 

“Why Tsunade-sama…It seems to be an…eye…made of sand…” said a very confused doctor.

 

“Gaara….” she muttered as a nurse opened the door to let Naruto's friends in and the madness started.
