This was a reader request. Pretty dramatic and petty on both sides. Reader and Jiraiya fought some years go and when you nearly die saving the village from the nine tails he realized how ridiculous the fight was and tries to visit you. Also Jiraiya resorts to physical violence towards reader in a slap. Which isn't okay but it was requested so I did it lol

This is very long so strap in.

Warning: blood, injury, hospital stay and care stuff. Jiraiya being a bit of a spazz.

Minato and Kushina live au. Naruto is aged up a bit. Reader is Hokage au.

———————————————————————————

Entering a hospital is always a grim experience. A wash of fear and anxiety tingles in the stomach. It only grows into a more violent storm when approaching the desk to ask for names. It didn't help when the nurse manning that station looks at him with a knowing pity.

Jiraiya stared at the nurse for a few moments, lips parted and struggling on who to ask for first. Images of you flash in his mind. It's hard to remember your smile sometimes. Should he? He has no idea how bad you got it. A sinking fear gripped his chest and stalled him further. If he asked for you only to be directed to the morgue he wouldn't know what to do.

What about Minato? The poor boy was so frantic in his letter Jiraiya could barely read it. By the destruction and horror around the village things had gone terribly wrong.

"Minato has been asking for you, my lord. He's in room one forty five." The nurse kindly offered him a path to choose.

"Oh... thanks."

The usually extroverted sage was quite quiet. It's hard to be happy and loud when surrounded by death. The entry was full of people stuck in horrible pain and struggling. It's unsightly with bandages, pain, and blood. It's hard to imagine that these people are considered low concern. It only does worse to his imagination. Just how bad are you?

With slow steps, Jiraiya made his way down the hall. It's for the sake of his growing nerves. He didn't want to draw attention to himself. He's just here to see his family.... He wants to see you. But....

But what if you are already gone?

That reemerging thought sunk his heart to his feet. It made his nostalgic memories of you even more bittersweet. It made him realize something.

Jiraiya never took the chance to apologize to you. The bitter thought he usually follows up with doesn't come up. It's not all your fault. Maybe if he did say something he wouldn't be so unhappy. Maybe he should have returned sooner. He pushed all his friends away and it's an awful feeling. Even if the whole world hated him... if he just had you he would be okay. To be away from you felt like a hole was being bored into his chest. He misses you so much.

If you are dead... he can't forgive himself for all the things he did to you.

He entered the room to one forty five. Then he stopped and shuffled back out. That nurse should have been more specific. Minato is in that room. It's not his hospital room. You are in there. In a bed. Covered in a blanket up to your chest which was hiding the injuries you are most certainly suffering from. Of what little he can see, you are covered in bandages. Even part of your face is.

Minato is at your side, holding your hand. He was in rough shape too but it is minor compared to you. From the whispers going around, the poor boy was going through more of a mental trial than a physical one. Both Kushina and little Naruto are in some kind of safe house after the battle. Something about the seal and stability. As well as angry irrational villagers aiming to murder them. You, while unconscious, are still Minato's rock during such a trying time. You are basically a mother to the brilliant blond.
