Disabled Ninja

Chapter 3-I'm Scarred Of The Dark

The sounds coming from the albino's throat sounded like animal screaming. Hakui told them it was because he no longer had his tongue, but that didn't help. His eye lids shot open, reveling empty eye sockets that were bleeding slightly from the strain in the scars. People ran in and out, some bring things to calm the boy down and others to help Hakui. Anko continued to whisper soft words into the boy's hearing ear the whole time. It was as if she wasn't affected by the situation. Naruto's hands reached up to his empty sockets with frantic hands before Kakashi grabbed them. They couldn't let the boy cause anymore damage to his already broken body. What was left of the pre-teen's tongue moved around in his mouth in an odd way. The organ couldn't even reach the roof of his mouth anymore.

It took the entire night to calm the albino down. Hakui and to heavily sedate him before explain what happened in as little detail as possible. Ibiki had returned a while ago, so now all of Naruto's loved ones were here, whither he knew it or not. Anko, at request of her little brother, went to get a piece of fabric that would be ok to wrap around the boy's sensitive skin. It was quite obvious that he wanted to cover the holes in his face. Not that anyone could blame him. Who wouldn't want to cover they're own empty eye sockets.

He was having a hard time telling when he was awake or asleep. The darkness was still there either way. The soft voiced lady had been offering to bring him outside for the past three months now. The medic girl told them that he could go outside once he could move correctly. Probably because he couldn't move much after he woke up. Once she gave the ok the soft voiced lady started trying to get him outside. But he didn't want to go. He didn't want to go outside and not see the nature and life that he was so used to. He didn't want the villagers to know he had a weakness and hunt him down.

But today the soft voiced lady offered something he couldn't refuse.

"Hey there kiddo! Your big brother Ibiki and I are going for ramen since he just got back from a mission. You want to come?"

The mention of ramen brought back memories. His mind couldn't help but wander to Ayame and Teuchi. They were the only ones who would feed him. Hokage-ji would send an ANBU occasionally, having them drop food off, but it was only Instant ramen and food pills. He was about to agree when he remembered that Ayame and Teuchi both saw him as family. So they wouldn't react well to what happened to him. Heck, he could easily see Ayame running around the village with a chef's knife in each hand. In fact he had seen it before.

Naruto rose his hands up, making a grabbing motion. Anko (soft voiced lady) seamed to understand what he meant. She went over to his side table and grabbed a sheet of brail. Each brail letter had a letter written in ink underneath it. She took out her own paper and began writing each letter he pointed at down. In the end she had 'Idontknowifthatsagoodidea' written sloppily on her own paper.

"It will be fine Naru. Here how about this? If you come with me and Ibiki that I'll put you down need a henge so no one knows it's you!"

Naruto hesitating nodded at the idea.  He knew that the soft voiced lady wouldn't lie to him. Anko helped him push himself off of the bed and out of the room. They met with Ibiki about half way out of the T&I building. The small group then set out to the ramen stand. The one place that holds precious memories of the Albino.
