Naruto was starting to come to as he heard a soft beeping sound. He opened his eyes to see he was in a hospital room, high grade medical equipment and such to his left and right. He thought it was nice...then he remembered the reason for it and immediately scowled. As if to confirm his thought, two doctors and a nurse entered the room.
"Ah! Mr. Namikaze, I'd like to start by saying it's an honor to have you in our hospi-" he was interrupted when Naruto ripped the tubes and other equipment from his body as he stood out of the bed.
"Mr. Nami-"
"Save it." He pointed at the male doctor. "Seven years ago my body was damn near broken. I begged for treatment and you kicked me out with a smile on your face." He pointed at the female doctor with him. "And you accepted me into the hospital a year later. Then you attempted to poison me within the hour I was here."
Both doctors looked away shamefully. Naruto looked at the nurse who looked at the doctors in horror. She looked very young, a couple of years younger than him meaning she was most likely new and under an apprenticeship. Naruto grabbed his boxers and pants and put them on, throwing his robe off.
"I survived without your help before, don't offer it now." He said as he opened the window and jumped out. He was on the sixth floor, which would normally be bad, but instead of pumping chakra into his legs, he activated armament haki.
He proceeded down the path in just his pants and sandals, his battle scars were visible alongside his tattoo on his back. If the girls didn't blast off before, they did now, seeing Naruto not giving a flying friggle fraggle about who saw what. He was to deep in thought to care what others thought. He had grown stronger, he was sure of himself to be Vice Admiral level at least and that was him being modest.
"Naruto!"
Naruto turned towards the voice that said his name and saw Sakura jogging his way.
"What happened?! You were in the hospital since noon of yesterday! We had to go to the waiting room but when we got back you weren't there."
"I don't trust hospitals." Naruto said with slight annoyance at the mere mention of the word. Sakura noticed this and decided to change the subject and take advantage of them being alone.
"So...do you want to maybe get some ramen? You could even call it that date you've always wanted."
"Na, I'm cool." Naruto answered pretty quickly.
Sakura smiled, "Great so when are we go-" Sakura froze. "...Wait. What?" Sakura asked.
"I'm alright. Got stuff to do, thanks for offering though. Peace out Sakura." Naruto said, walking away, leaving a surprised Sakura.
_____________________Naruto exited the village, walking a path about an hours out before he stopped and leaned on a tree and folded his arms.
"I hope you know, next time we do that, you're going down." He said with small smile. Sabo was revealed to be on the opposite side of the tree, leaning in the same way.
"I'd certainly welcome it."
"So. How'd I do?"
"I'd say you're above par. I certainly wasn't expecting you to be able to re-create and even improve the Super Nova so quickly." Sabo admitted. "That being said, you need more training. It's good to experiment in battle but I could tell your Mk. II is incomplete."
"That obvious, huh?" Naruto asked. Sabo nodded, even though he couldn't be seen.
"But like I said. I wasn't expecting you to even be able to re-create the Super Nova. I'd give you a B." This made Naruto cringe.
"Just a B? No B+ or A-?" Naruto pleaded.
"Don't believe in those. You'll get an A when you beat me." Sabo said, grinning. Though the two couldn't see each other, their grins matched.
"Next time I see you."
"Be careful there 'Conqueror'. It could be much later, it could be soon. Until then, train." He said as he stood up straight, dusting himself off.
"If you see them, tell the crew I'm ok." Naruto requested as he stood straight and stretched, walking back to the village. They were going to see each other again, there was no need for a goodbye.
"Humph, an hour long walk for a few sentences. He certainly is part of your little brother's crew." The girl said as she dropped to Sabo's side.
"Heh, glad my brother has people like him as nakama." Sabo said as he turned and walked the opposite direction as Naruto. "Organize the troops, we're back off."
______________________"Hey! You! Give me all your money!"
Naruto turned to see a bandit with dual knives.
"You know how close you are to a major village? Actually, you got past the boarders. Good job." Naruto complimented. After he said that, more bandits dropped down. A good 22, all Chunin level.
"Oh what the hell, I don't have time for this." He said as his pupils suddenly grew smaller and they all knocked out. He turned around to Sasuke, Sakura and Sai staring at him.
"Yo."
"W-what the hell was that?!" Sasuke asked.
"That. That was...something...that shall not be told at this current moment." Naruto said as he walked around them whistling.
"I heard about the council room, but I just thought people were overreacting." Sakura said, wide eyed at the bandits.
"Oh yeah!" Naruto yelled back at them. "In like 45 minutes I'm going somewhere to train for the next 3 days."
"Wait, what about everyone?!"
"Oh calm down, I'm not disappearing for years, it's just a training trip."
Naruto had went back and told the rest of the twelve, Tsunade and Ichiraku's that he was leaving on a training trip. Although there were many arguments against, even the council being suddenly concerned for their hero's son (to which Naruto gave them the finger), Naruto still went.
With his endless stamina, he ran damn near his fastest and appeared at his family's mother land. Uzushiogakure, the village hidden in Whirlpools. Naruto had trekked the ruins of his home, for the first time since he got back, he created shadow clones to run around and bury the dead that weren't already in the ground. He walked to see a single building standing in damn near perfect condition, the Kage building. Upon further inspection, he found many scrolls containing his ancestors sealing techniques and jutsu. When he pulled one scroll out, though, the wall near the shelf opened.
When he entered, he found a single vial and a scripture reading, "To he who walks the path of no return, let the liquid replenish you for your revenge."
Naruto read it...then he laughed and left the secret room. "Revenge is overrated...then again I am pretty damn spiteful." He said as he exited the building and began working on the techniques and jutsu of his ancestors.
