(Y/N) Uzumaki

Chapter 60

I sat in the hospital practicing shogi with him. I really suck at it though. Shikamaru turned back to Naruto and said "Man. Is he ever going to wake up? Maybe the kid croaked." I looked over at Naruto and sighed.

After a few minutes of me grabbing my face and groaning from my failure. Shikamaru looked confused. I looked over at where he was looking and at the hourglass "Huh? The sand stopped. What's up with that? Did they forget to wind it or something? What a drag." "Hm" I mumbled.

I heard Naruto make a noise so I looked over at him and saw him opening his eyes. "Naruto." I said happily standing up. "So, you decided to wake up, huh?" Shikamaru said. "Where am I? What is this?" Naruto asked. "The hospital. (Y/n) said you've been out cold like this for three days straight." Shikamaru said. "Three days?..Three days stright?!" Naruto yelled randomly angry. I jumped as he jumped out of bed.

"Uh, yeah. More or less." Shikamaru said a bit frightened. "Guys, when's the final competition begin?" Naruto asked frantically. "Uh, tomorrow" I said confused. "What?" Naruto yelled. He grabbed onto Shikamaru's collar and pulled him close to his face "Are you crazy? Why the heck didnt you wake me up sooner? I can't be laying here at a time like this. I've got to be getting ready." Naruto let go of Shikamaru and grabbed me "And Pervy sage. Where's pervy sage? That old coot's supposed to me supervising our training." Naruto yelled.

"Hey, calm down kid. Get a grip. We dont know what you're talking about." Shikamaru said. "I have no clue where he's at! I haven't seen him you passed out!" I said squeezing my eyes shut. He let go of my collar and jumped off the bed "Where are my clothes? I've got to get dressed. Where'd they put them? Where are my clothes? Oh come on, where are they?" Naruto yelled looking all over his bed.

"Oh man. This kid gives me such a headache. I liked him better when he was in a coma." Shikamaru said grabbing his head with Naruto yelling in the back. "Would you knock it off?" Shikamaru yelled causing Naruto to stop. "Now listen. You don't want to be freaking out the day before a big competition. Resting can be the best thing." Naruto just sat down.

"Uh. Are you okay? Is something wrong?" Shikamaru asked. I walked a little closer to Naruto to make sure he's alright. Naruto slowly turned his head at us. "Yeah. I'm really starving." Naruto said. "Is that all? Man, stop scaring us like that. Oh, look at this." Shikamaru bent down and grabbed a fruit basket. "Look at this. I went through all the trouble of getting this stuff for Choji and then the doctors told me he couldn't have it. Such a drag. But at least we can eat it."

"Choji? You mean he's here in the hospital too?" Naruto asked. "Nothing to worry about. All he's got is a bad case of indigestion. He ate one short rib too many." Shikamaru said and Naruto started laughing. "I should've figured. That's just like him." "Yeah. Well, you two are just lucky I'm around or you wouldn't have any friend visitors." Shikamaru said.

He threw an apple at Naruto "Here." Naruto caught it "Oh, wow. This looks delicious." Naruto was about to take a bite but stopped randomly. "What? What is it now?" Shikamaru asked. "Lets eat it in front of Choji, it'll drive him crazy." Naruto said giggling. Shikamaru said "Man, that's mean. I like it."

As we were walking I stopped in my tracks. This weird feeling, I felt this before. They both stopped and turned around to look at me. This feeling, it's from Gaara. I looked at them frantically with a worried expression. "What's wrong?" Naruto asked "Follow me. And hurry!" I yelled as I began to run. "What?" They asked running too.

I ran to the room where the feeling was the strongest. I shivered at it as I stood there waiting for Naruto and Shikamaru. "This feeling.." Shikamaru started but I covered his mouth. This is Lee's room, why is the feeling coming from in there. Shikamaru walked infront of me and slowly slid the door open. What I saw made me cover my mouth quickly. Gaara was hovering over Lee with sand surrounding him. He had his hand out like he was going to put it in a fist and I remember what happens when he does that.
