Hi guys! okay here is chapter 11! I had gotten a good rush on inspiration that chapter 12 is almost done! So on another note I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful reviews! On a side note I should have put the Saskue and Naruto pairing as a one-sided thing mostly on Sasuke's part. So hope that clears that up.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the others...If I did Sakura would be long dead and gone. So enjoy Chapter 11!
Chapter 11
Last time on Healer: Tsunade thinks that Naruto can summon elemental wolves as well as normal wolves. They have yet to test that theory out yet. And two jutsu that he should have learned in the academy, and he was so close to being able to use Tsunade's own monstrous strength which both Naruto and Tsunade were proud to state on how close he was to using her monstrous strength.
Now on to the story!
One would think getting in to the hospital to see a friend should have been easy but apparently not for Naruto. He had to disguise himself in order to enter the hospital to see Hayate. Walking to the front desk he saw that the nurses weren't there and seeing as no one was around, he decided to look up Hayate's room himself. 'Let's see. Oh Lee is out of the critical ward. I will have to visit Bushy-Brow later. Now where is. Ah there he is in room 203.' Thought Naruto as he put down the patient list and made his way down the hallway.
Meanwhile, Ten Ten was trying to get Lee to settle down and not push himself so hard. "Lee! For God sake will you stop training! What would Gai-sensei say if he saw you doing this?" Lee stopped what he was doing which was push-ups at the moment. This was after Ten Ten found him doing 100 crunches off the side of his bed.
"He would be" Lee started but Ten Ten cut him off "disappointed is what Gai-sensei would be. Lee you need to heal if you want to see the finals! Please stop for now and maybe if Gai-sensei says it's okay I will bring you those scrolls you were asking about earlier." Lee looked thoughtful for a moment before smiling. "Deal Ten Ten."
Ten Ten nodded her head and started to walk to the door to leave. "Get some rest now Lee and I will see you later." "Bye Ten Ten" Waving she walked out the door and left Lee to himself.
Walking down the hall Naruto was trying not to get distracted from the numbers on the doors when he noticed one open and a girl with buns step out and closed the door behind her. 'That must be Ten Ten that Yugao mentioned in passing. Hm I wonder if she was visiting Lee.' Thought Naruto as they passed by each other. Just a little further up from Lee's room was Hayate's. Knocking on the door, Naruto opened it and entered.
The room was covered with flowers from Yugao and the other sanseis. Laying in the center of the room was Hayate. Naruto took a deep breath and released it slowly. "Hi sensei. I don't know if you can hear me, but I wanted to let you know that I am getting stronger and that Yugao-sensei is one tough chick and one hell of a slave driver. But I bet you already knew that." Here he stopped and chuckled before talking again. "I hope you wake up soon. I will come and visit later."
With that he stood up from the chair that he had sat himself down in when he entered the room. Before he opened the door, it opened on its own and showed that Yugao was the one to open it. Nodding to her, Naruto walked out and down the hallway. Yugao watched him go for a moment before entering the room and shutting the door behind her.
'I guess I should stop and see Bushy-Brow. And then maybe find Shino and see if he wants to hangout.' With that in mind, Naruto went to the door that he saw Ten Ten leave out of. He knocked on the door and waited for permission to enter. Lee looked at the door when he heard a knock. "Enter." The door opened and Lee noticed that it was Naruto. "Ah Naruto my youthful friend come in!" said Lee as he sat up a little in his bed. Naruto came in and closed the door behind him and then walked to the chair positioned next to the bed.
"How are you feeling Bushy-Brow?" asked Naruto as he got comfortable in the chair. Lee looked down at his legs for a moment before stating "I am feeling most youthful! And you how are you?" "I am doing okay. Thanks for asking. Did the doctor say when you can get out of here?" asked Naruto as he looked around the room. It was filled with all kinds of flowers and get well cards. It made him smile that the other Rookie Nine went to the trouble of cheering up Lee.
"The doctor wasn't sure when but I am most hopeful that it will be soon! Gai-sensei said that if not then he would smuggle me out to see the finals! Yosh! I can't wait for the finals!" Naruto chuckled at that and nodded his head in agreement. Naruto could also see that Lee was getting tried. "I am going to go Bushy-Brow. You get some rest. I just stopped by to see how you were." "Ah thank you my friend." Naruto grinned at him and hopped out the window that was opened and waved a goodbye at Lee.
Wondering around was a good thing for Naruto as he wasn't sure where Shino was or if he was even training at all with his team. 'Hmm now if I was Shino where would I be? Oh I know!' Naruto took off into the Forest of Death to the one spot that he and Shino first met in when they were kids. 'I hope I am right!' Thought Naruto as he hopped from branch to branch at neck breaking speed. Bursting through the leaves to a clearing, Naruto was right and there was Shino sitting on the ground surrounded by his flying beetles.
"Shino."
