The day seemed to be a bit busier than usual, with a couple more patients than usual. Aceso was on her way to Kurenai's room to check upon him. 

 " Hey, princess," a voice greeted as she reached for the door handle. She paused, looked over, and saw Shino, Hinata with flowers, Kiba, Akamaru, Tsunade, and Shizune.

" Oh, um, hello," Aceso greeted. " What are all of you doing here?"

" Came to see Kurenai-sensei," Hinata informed.

" Lady Tsunade doesn't want to be in the office," Shizune laughed.

" Shizune," Tsunade warned playfully.

" Would it be alright if we saw our sensei?" Hinata asked nervously.

"Of course, go on ahead," Aceso agreed as she stepped aside from the door so Hinata could open it.

 " Try not to faint when you see Kurenai-sensei," Kiba warned.

" Come on, don't bring that up right now!" Hinata pleaded.

" Something happened I should know about?" Aceso asked.

" When Naruto was in the hospital--" Shino began.

" Shino, don't!" Hinata snapped at him.

" She took one look at Naruto all wrapped up in bandages and keeled over," Kiba teased.

" Kiba!" Hinata cried out as she faced him. " This-this is different!" She grabbed the handle. " I'll be fine this time!" She opened the door and walked in.

" I finally found you!" Naruto shouted as he hung upside down from the ceiling, his and Hinata's faces were really close. " Grandma Tsunade, there's something I want to say to you!" Hinata dropped the flowers as everyone watched. Naruto opened his eyes and realized who he was in front of. " Oh, hey." Her face began to turn red like Lee's face did that one time. " Hinata. Hinata, Hinata, what's the matter with you? Little sis, you need to check on her. Huh? Your face is looking a little red there. You ok?" He moved his head back and put his hand on her head. " You got a fever? Let me feel your head?" She started squealing, she moved her head around, and butted into Naruto sending him flying. She began to stumble back.

" Hey, Hinata!" Kiba exclaimed as he and Shino caught her, but she fell right through their arms. " You got to be kidding me! Are you okay? Get a hold of yourself, will ya?"

" Ahh, Naruto!" Hinata breathed happily. " I don't know what to say." They got Hinata in a bed beside her sensei, she quickly regained consciousness.

" Arf! Arf!" Akamaru barked as he was in her face.

" Ahh!" Hinata squealed, Akamaru got off her as she sat up.

" Hey, you finally woke up!" Kiba greeted.

" So you're saying Mizuki didn't know a thing? " Kurenai asked.

" Lady Tsunade even interrogated him herself," Shizune informed. " He didn't have any information that would lead to Orochimaru's current whereabouts." Hinata got up and stood next to Shino.

" So after all that trouble, he was nothing more than one of Orochimaru's pawns," Kurenai gathered.

" So it would seem, yes," Aceso nodded.

" And we still don't know what Sasuke is," Shino brought up.

" Not a lot to show for the knock-down, drag-out fight with Mizuki," Kiba said as he crossed his arms.

" That's got to be killing Naruto right now," Aceso said. They looked out the window.

" Grandma Tsunade, this isn't fair!" Naruto yelled they were in the courtyard. " You gotta let me!
