Waking Up
Drip…
Drip…
Drip…
"You failed."
Drip…
"You failed them. YOU FAILED HER!"
Naruto Uzumaki, Jinchuuriki of the kyuubi kistune, and secret son of the Yondaime Hokage woke with a start, deep ragged breaths escaped from his mouth as the memories came to him like a rapid slideshow.
Sakura….his promise. The mission, then he remembered.
"Sasuke!" he yelled frantically to no one in particular. It was then that he remembered that he really had failed. That he was unable to save the person who was like a brother to him. That he was unable to fulfill his promise to the one he claimed to love most. That hurt more than anything.
"Sasuke." he whispered sadly. Naruto took a look at his arm and saw the bandages wrapped around them. They were really thick and heavy making his arms feel like they weighed a lot more than he knew they should, but he guessed that was mostly due to his fatigue and the injuries from the fight he and Sasuke had that were still in the process of healing.
Naruto closed one eye when he felt something cool hit his face, he turned to the right to see an open window. The trees were swaying slightly as a light breeze blew through Konoha, the sun was on the edge of the sky getting ready to switch its duties with the moon giving the village a beautiful orange glow. he smiled at the sight, he loved his village more than anything, even if they didn't return the feeling. Naruto looked up at the clouds and leaned back in the slightly uncomfortable hospitable bed, ignoring the slight pain the movement cost him. He continued to at look the fluffy looking material in the sky and let his mind drift, he found himself oddly relaxed and calm. There was something magical about watching the clouds.
"Now I know why Shikamaru does it so much." He chuckled to himself. Naruto whipped his head around as he heard the doors of his room slide open. He perked up when he saw Shikamaru making his way towards him.
"Yo Shikamaru!" he said loudly, his hyperactive knuckle headed ninja persona returning full force. The lazy shinobi gave him a small wave of his hand while yawning.
"Yo Naruto, how are you feeling?"
Naruto pumped his fists "Great! Nothing can keep me down for long, dattebayo!" Shikamaru shook his head in amusement. He would never know where he got his energy from. Shikamaru took the seat closest to Naruto and sat down.
"Ne ne Shikamaru?" Naruto looked down, his tone somber. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow at his behavior, something was definitely wrong if the blonde ninja was acting like this.
"Is everyone ok?" he asked, Shikamaru smiled.
"Dont worry Naruto, everyone is fine. Neji and chouji were hurt pretty badly but the Hokage managed to fix them up. Kiba only had a kunai wound near his stomach, but that was pretty easy to deal with, he should be out in a couple days. I on the other hand…" Naruto Uzumaki was never one to notice all the subtle details in life, but even he could hear the shame in Shikamaru's voice when he raised a single finger that was heavily bandaged.
"I came out with only a broken finger…troublesome." Naruto was surprised but immediately understood what he was trying to say.
"Don't worry about that Shikamaru, just because you didn't get beat up as much as everybody else doesn't mean you didn't fight just as hard!" Naruto Exclaimed, he patted the Nara heir on the back reassuringly and gave him one of his shit-eating grins.
"Besides, without you leading us and stuff we would probably be dead." Shikamaru nodded his head but didn't seem entirely convinced. Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly and put on his signature smile. The one that masked all of his pain.
"If anything, I should be the one feeling bad, everybody risked their lives to give me a chance to get to Sasuke, but I couldn't bring him back. I let all of you down. I let Sakura-Chan down." Naruto clutched at his heart, as if the emotions gave him physical pain.
There was only a comfortable silence after that, each contemplating what the other had said. A couple minutes passed before Shikamaru broke the silence.
"I'm going to go see Kiba, he'll probably complain if I visited you and not him." he got up and walked to the door.
"See ya Shikamaru!" Naruto shouted to his retreating form. Before he could walk out the door Shikamaru stopped and turned to the blonde, a determined look on his face, one that Naruto wasn't accustomed to seeing him have.
"Naruto, after your out of the hospitable meet up with me, I have to talk you about something." Naruto looked confused, why couldn't he just tell him now?
"Ill explain later, all you need to know is were going on another mission." Naruto didn't need to hear anything else after the word mission. He jumped up on the bed and pulsed his chakra out recklessly, He smirked in satisfaction when the released energy cut through his bandages easily revealing an almost completely healed body. Naruto pumped both his fists in the air, an all too familiar fire igniting in his eyes.
"Yoshaa!"
Shikamaru just shook his head "Troublesome."
