Uzumaki Naruto x reader

Chapter 20

"Huh? Training?" Sakura asked confused. "Sensei? What will a little training going to do!" Sakura stressed out. 'Improve your ability.' Thought Y/n with a neutral face. "Our enemy is a ninja you struggled against even with the sharingan." Y/n had yet to tease him, about falling for the enemy jutsu.

"Sakura.. Who saved me when I was struggling?" Kakashi asked Sakura. Y/n's eyes mischievous sparkle returned. The corner of her lips lifted upward. "You guys are growing rapidly." Y/n almost pointed her fingers at Naruto to remind Kakashi whose merit was that he was free from the water prison. "Especially Naruto!" 'YES!' Now she had him where she wanted. Y/n turned at Naruto with a proud smile. "You have improved the most." Y/n saw Naruto face lit up. He turned his head to look at her, a sunny smile brightening his features. It was contagious.

"You did great, Naruto!" Y/n beamed at him. "From now on I'm counting on you to free sensei when he falls into an enemy jutsu." Naruto was still in his high horses to understand what his friend was implying.

"You can count on me, sensei." Naruto said facing Kakashi with a smile.
Kakashi shoulders sunk down and shook his head. "That is not going to happen." Y/n shrugged her shoulders, the smile never leaving her lips .
"It doesn't hurt to be prepared." Kakashi let out a long suffering sign, accepting defeat. This student of his was too much.

"Anyway,.." He turned towards Sakura. "..this is training until I get better. You won't be able to defend Zabuza without me." Y/n mind wondered back at the demonstration of the two jounins abilities. It had been crazy.

"But sensei, " Sakura spoke again. "If Zabuza is alive he could attack at anytime."

"As if." Y/n snorted and waved her hand dismissively. "He can't barely move for a while." While Zabuza's nervous system had probability started functioning, his motor system and muscles where still too confused to respond to any signal that the brain send their way. "And in lot of pain."

"Really, sensei?" Sakura asked Kakashi for confirmation. Y/n rolled her eyes. Sakura not trusting her words was getting old.

"Yeah. People that are put in momently death situations it should take a while before their body turned to normal, just like Y/n said." Sakura turned her head on the opposite direction from Y/n with a "huff". 'And Sasuke said I was childish.'

"How do you know so much about it?" Y/n was surprised that Sasuke remembered how to form a long sentence.

"I have a lot medical books lying around the house." She had read most of them. "My mother was a medic." Y/n responded to the unspoken question as she saw Sasuke's raised eyebrow lower together with his head. Naruto held her hand tight and glared daggers at Sasuke. Y/n wrapped her fingers around Naruto, giving an appreciation smile. The mention of her mother didn't hurt as much the absence of her father, but that didn't mean Y/n didn't longed to meet her mother.

"How are you in acupuncture?" Y/n looked at her sensei and shrugged her shoulders.

"I only know about it in theory. I have tried to practice on animals, but.." But had stopped because she didn't like to see them suffer. Y/n let that out for her teammates, who didn't look so comfortable. Even Naruto had let go of her hand. ".. the human body and animals are different. Anyone here volunteering as my practice partner?" It went silent. Y/n watched her fellow genins pale faces, with a grin. "Anyway, Is a fact that we won't see Zabuza for at least.." Y/n put her finger on her chin, calculating the possibilities. "..a week or so." As soon as that left her mouth Naruto jumped on his feet.
