Naruto awoke to the sound of someone tsking in his ear, he opened his eyes, hearing Daisuke give a growl, Naruto's eyes lazily slid open, in which Kurenai, Kiba and Shino was each looking at him. The nurse was glaring at him, and the little fox in his lap.
"In here without authorisation, with an animal no less" growled the Nurse, Naruto simply stood, his baggy t-shirt and shorts, and messy hair, made Kurenai give a smirk.
"If only Hinata could see him now, she would probably faint" thought Kurenai, Naruto simply stood and walked to the door.
"Sorry, how are you feeling Kiba" asked Naruto calmly, Kurenai sighed in relief, according to his teammates, that was the first time in the months they had been a team, that Naruto had ever broken his calm composure, it showed Kurenai how deeply he cared for Hinata, even if he didn't understand it yet.
"Pretty good, I have to drink this stuff to make my teeth grow faster" grumbled Kiba, Naruto smiled slightly.
"I am assuming it tastes horrible" said Naruto, he watched as Kiba turned green slightly.
"You have no idea" said Kiba, Naruto laughed. He looked at Shino and inclined his head.
"Good win Shino" said Naruto, Shino inclined his head also.
"You too Naruto, very smartly played" said Shino, Naruto nodded and with the fox curled on his shoulder he left the hospital room, as he was walking to the exit, he saw Kakashi striding purposely towards him.
"Ah Naruto, you weren't at home" said Kakashi, Naruto noticed the slight blush on Kakashi's face.
"Anko round again" asked Naruto, Kakashi looked at Naruto sharply; Naruto raised his shoulders and dropped them lazily.
"Yeah, anyway, I can't train you for the month..." started Kakashi, but Naruto gave a snort.
"Yeah okay, but you have enough time to train Sasuke right, and you can't say it's because he has the sharingan because..." but before Naruto could continue, Kakashi slammed a hand over his mouth; Kakashi moved his head to Naruto's ear.
"Don't say that too loud Naruto, otherwise all of Hokage-sama's hard work will have gone to waste" said Kakashi cryptically, Naruto nodded understanding. He had to be careful, many people, elders in the village and the civilian council, coveted the sharingan, and if they found out their Jinchuuriki had one, it would cause a riot.
"Okay, so yeah, you can't train me, but you can train Sasuke, go on" said Naruto, the fox looked up at Kakashi and simply cocked its head, before it moved to sleep on Naruto's shoulder again.
"But don't worry, I have found you another sensei, one stronger than even I, he has come here specially for you, though he is twelve years too late" said Kakashi, Naruto remembered, reading some of his dads book briefly, before he got too busy. Naruto gasped slightly for a totally different reason.
"Oh, I forgot to read the books" said Naruto, Kakashi frowned slightly.
"I thought you got who your sensei was, don't make me give another clue" said Kakashi, his tone mock anger.
"No no, is it my dad's sensei, Jiraiya of the sennin" said Naruto quietly, realising he was in a public place. Kakashi eye smiled
"Correct, but the next part is finding him" said Kakashi, Kakashi raised a hand to move through the hospital.
"Is a friend of yours in hospital Kakashi-sensei" asked Naruto, Kakashi sighed.
"Sasuke is" said Kakashi simply, Naruto realised; Kakashi didn't speak of Sasuke as fondly as he used to.
