Fox In The Leaf

2 out of 5 isn't bad

Naruto was eating with his friends trying to stop the burning he was feeling but no matter how much he ate it would still hurt. He could only assume that whatever the snake creep did to him must be the problem. He still had one hand over his exposed stomach, since he didn't have a change of clothes so he had stayed in his torn clothes

"Hey Naruto? You ok man?"

Naruto looked up to see that Kiba was looking at him with a bit of concern in his eyes. Looking around him he saw that team 8 and Sakura were looking at him with a look of worry. Sasuke had left the second the group went to the cafeteria. Naruto gave a small smile to the group "I'm not sure guys. I feel like my body is being weighed down and my all muscles burn"

Hinata didn't like the idea that Naruto was in pain. She got up and walked around the table to place a hand on his shoulder "Naruto-kun. Lets go to the medical wing so they can check on you"

Naruto tensed a bit when he heard this as he rarely ever went to the hospital and when he did, it was usually with specific people such as Hana. he hated when he was told she was a veterinarian and Anko was in the room. She had been laughing for the entire visit and even when they left. Naruto looked to Hinata and shook his head "it's alright Hinata-chan. I'll feel better after I get some rest". He would have gone back to eating his meal but he felt a sudden chill go down his spine

"Naruto-kun. You should go get yourself checked out to make sure that you are actually fine"

Naruto turned back to look at Hinata and could swear there was a dark aura surrounding her. He couldn't even tell what the feeling she was emitting was but he knew that he shouldn't argue against her. Nodding his head he allowed Hinata to drag him away from the cafeteria.

Kiba was laughing hard as Akamaru wagged his tail.

Shino externally show no reaction but internally he was amused.

Sakura just smiled at the concern Hinata gave 'she is a lot more confident now. Especially when Naruto is around'

~Medical wing~

Hinata and Naruto walked into the nurses office, looking around to see if anyone would be here to help. "Hello? Is there anyone here that can help us?"

Naruto sat on one of the beds and looked at Hinata who was looking around the room "Hinata-chan, all I really need is to sleep a bit" Naruto began to lay down on the bed but shot back into a sitting position and winced when sharp pains were felt on his back

Hinata noticed this and walked up to Nartuo "Naruto-kun are you ok?!"

Naruto had one of his eyes closed from the wince and shook his head. He never liked lying and even less to Hinata "no ...something stings on my back"

Hinata grew more concerned. She had noticed that Naruto never removed his hand from his stomach but now he feels pain on his back. She acted out of sheer worry "Naruto-kun! Take off your jacket and shirt!"

Naruto began to blush at being told to go topless "um Hinata-chan... I don't think that's a good....."

"Now Naruto-kun!"

Naruto felt a bit of fear from how stern Hinata seemed to be. He slowly slipped out of his jacket and shirt, exposing his torso to her.

Hinata now realized what she had just said and grew several shades redder at not only demanding Naruto to strip but the fact that Naruto was so close to her and without a shirt on. She was close to fainting but she caught a glimpse of Naruto's back. 'Oh Naruto-kun' on Naruto's back were several splinters that had embedded themselves into his back and a few were bleeding. Hinata went into nursing mode and walked away to the medical cabinet "Naruto-kun please lay on your stomach please"
