Part Thirteen: Return
Naruto had passed out.
It had been three days since he'd made a deal with Tsunade, and now he was collapsed on the ground, and from what Chaos could tell, seriously injured.
She herself wasn't in a great state either, she had been trained into exhaustion, she'd been going all out to learn how to use a broadsword, Chaos sighed and flopped to the ground.
Lilith wasn't around currently, she had left that morning, claiming she had an important errand to do, Chaos hadn't questioned the other girl on it.
She opened her eyes to see a pair of brown eyes staring into her own.
'You've been training hard,' remarked Tsunade.
'So it seems.'
Tsunade immediately started checking Chaos' injuries, 'you need rest,' she commented, 'and a lot of it.'
Chaos agreed, 'I'm aware.'
The sannin sat, and they gazed up at the stars.
'I've always admired the stars, you know,' remarked Chaos.
'You have?'
Chaos nods, 'Yeah, you know, when a star dies, no one knows until many years later, a star could die at the beginning of your life, but you would go through your life believing it's a live.'
'Interesting,' replies Tsunade, she unpacks a few things from her medical pack and wraps a couple of Chaos' wounds before handing her something to take.
'What's this?' asks Chaos.
'Something to numb the pain and allow you to rest, should knock you out long enough for those wounds to heal.'
Chaos nods, 'I see, thank you.'
'You know any medical jutsu?' asks Tsunade, noting that Chaos is close to falling asleep.
'No,' replies Chaos.
'Interested in learning?'
Chaos considers this, 'It would be a valuable skill,' she says,  moments later she falls asleep.
======================================
When Chaos wakes up she's in her room at the inn.
'You're awake!' exclaims Naruto from where he's perched, Lilith is sitting in the room, also.
Chaos sits up, 'How long was I out for?' she asks.
'Almost two days, believe it!' says Naruto.
Lilith nods, 'that stuff Tsunade gave you was hardcore.'
The blonde male agrees, 'speaking of Tsunade, she's coming back to the village with us to work in the hospital.'
This brightens Chaos' mood immensely, this means she has a chance of being trained by the sannin.
The door swings open, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune enter the room.
'Ready to go?' asks Jiraiya.
Chaos nods and climbs out of bed, Lilith is also ready and immediately goes to Chaos' side.
They pour out of the building and start the journey home.
Naruto bounces along, beyond excited to get back to Konoha and resume his training.
Tsunade fell back to the back of the group to walk alongside Chaos, 'Got plans for after the exams?'
'Not yet,' replies Chaos.
'I'm interested in training you,' Tsunade came straight out with it, 'After the chunin exams, whether you pass or not, I'd like to train you in medical jutsu, among other things.'
The black haired girl felt a spark of excitement at this, 'Sounds good,' she replies.
'So it's a deal?'
Chaos nods, 'deal.'
Lilith who had been silent the whole time, let out a squeal of excitement, clapping.
'Of course I won't train you full time,' says Tsunade, 'It'd be best if you still trained with Lilith to work on your skills with a broadsword.'
'Sounds good,' agrees Lilith.
=====================================
On arrival to Konoha, Tsunade is immediately taken to the hospital to see to Sasuke and Kakashi.
Chaos trails after her along with Naruto.
Her gaze is curious as Tsunade does the jutsu to heal both her sensei and her teammate.
Learning medical jutsu would be of great value, it would broaden her skillset quite a lot.
Lilith is gone again, claiming she has an errand.
Chaos is starting to wonder what these errands are.
Kakashi is surprised to see Tsunade, and pleased to see his team around him, but also eager to resume training for the third exam with Sasuke.
The copy cat nin and Sasuke disappear as soon as they're released from the hospital.
'I hear Lilith left on an errand,' remarks Tsunade to Chaos, the black haired genin has been trailing around after Tsunade ever since the rest of her team left the hospital, 'I'd be willing to start your training now and do it whenever Lilith is away.'
'Are you sure?'
Tsunade nods, 'Yes, the sooner we start this training the better you'll be later.'
