"So. I assume we shouldn't need to worry about Naruto anymore eh?" Kiba asked. "No. He is still injured." Shino reasoned. "But he is starting to prank people again and almost got a pregnant lady killed! That's two lives!" Ino said. Shino ignored them as he walked away to continue searching for Naruto.
"Naruto!!!!!" Tsunade yelled as she ran around desperately searching for the ball of sunshine. Her ball of sunshine. The boy has changed her life. He made her change her mind about Hokage and even made her the hokage. Not that she likes the job but for Naruto it was worth it. She can be the one to decide who the next Hokage is, meaning Naruto will have a higher chance of being hokage. Where could you be naruto?! Tsunade thought as she turned 360 degrees to see if he is nearby.
((Flashback))
Tsunade walked around searching for Naruto. He had ran off after training with Jiraiya for their break and hasn't been back since. Jiraiya still couldn't find him and was getting very very worried. Tsunade decided that there was no point running around in random circles frantically so she searched systematically. She searched inch by inch, starting from the roofs. Then she was on the hokage monuments when she saw a bundle of yellow and orange and blue on the head of the fourth hokage. The bundle was laying down, moving slightly like he was shaking. "Naruto!" Tsunade exclaimed in realisation and she rushed towards him to check on him. Naruto snapped awake and bolted up. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." Naruto said with the famous grin of his. Tsunade was slightly worried, she had seen the look in his eyes. He had a flash of panic and fear before it was masked. "What are you doing here?" Naruto looked a little surprise at the question. He then looked away to look at the sunset. "It's my haven." Naruto whispered.
((End flashback))
That's it!! Tsunade thought triumphantly as she ran towards the hokage monument. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her to get to the monument, praying and hoping that the small blond boy is there. He was there indeed. The poor boy was shaking violently from the cold. Poor boy... Tsunade thought as she gathered the blond in her arms back to the hospital and told Sakura whom she spotted on the way to stop the search as she has found Naruto.
She doesn't seem excited that the blond is found. "What's wrong?"
"Naruto's back to his old self!"
"What do you mean?"
"He was pranking people again! He almost got a pregnant woman killed." Sakura explained angrily. What? No way... Naruto would never do that. He hasn't been pranking anyone since he became a genin... Or would he? Tsunade was now confused and she's starting to doubt Naruto. Noooo!! Don't doubt him! He earned your respect! He wouldn't do such things... But Sakura seemed pretty pissed... Tsunade was now stuck in a limbo between doubting or trusting Sakura. Who should I trust?
