Today is the day when naruto returned from nazarick to konoha . He has grown two inches longer than before in a month . It may be because of the food of nazarick which affected his growth .
During his time on nazarick he came to know that demiurge has infiltrated many ninja villages and copied all of their jutsus for him in advance. If Orochimaru knew that someone has all the knowledge of ninja villages he would have smashed his head on the floor .
Naruto mainly practiced in kenjutsu, ninjutsu and magic spells most of the time there . But he learned some genjutsu too . Cocytus was very happy with naruto's progress in kenjutsu .
Naruto is taking a walk in konoha right now . Some people watched him and feel pity for him . Afterall he is going against a genius hyuga . They have never seen him in action after all .
" Hello naruto kun, " Hinata said from a distance . She was very happy to see him after a month .
" Hai hinata , did you get the flowers ," Naruto said to her. She blushed from the recent memory where she woke up in the hospital and found the bouquet of flower with a note attached on it for her.
" I get that bouquet and the note attached with it . I discharged from the hospital recently, "
" What are you doing alone roaming around in konoha after being recently discharged ," Naruto said to her. Hinata blushed again.
" I was going to bakery for cinnamon rolls, I was quite bored with hospital food ," Hinata couldn't hide her misery for the tasteless food. Everyone who goes to hospital follows a strict diet .
" Come with me ," Naruto said to her and she followed him . The were walking towards an empty area of a garden.
' Jane buy me two healing tags '.
[Yes master naruto. ]
Naruto finds two healing tags in his inventory .They stop where no one could see them. Hinata is daydreaming about something else.
"Naruto kun why we are here !" Hinata asked while being embarrassed about thinking such thoughts.
" You are not fully healed hinata let me take care of it . From the land of eevees I brought healing tags which will heal your unhealed wounds ," Naruto said while taking out a healing tag from his pocket . It looks like an explosive tag but with green colour .
" It must be very valuable for you and I cannot take it you have a match tomorrow with neji , " hinata was worried about naruto if she takes it what will happen to naruto after his match if he lose.
" I have another one , but don't tell anyone about it. I will not get it everytime for others if they will request it . Its a one time gift from someone to me ," Naruto didn't want to face a problem where everyone ask him about healing tag . Its better if no one knows about it aside from them .
Naruto keeps the healing tag on her chest near her heart and it glowed and a green light surrounded hinata . She felt an extremely powerful energy entered her body and she was feeling all her internal wounds were rapidly healed in few seconds.
" Thank you naruto kun I will never forget your kindness ," hinata said to him. She keeps blushing after looking at him . Naruto is feeling quite awkward after looking at her profound blushing .
" Lets go hinata , we have a bakery to raid ," Naruto is hungry after hearing about the food so he decided to tag alone with her. They both reached the bakery and hinata ordered a large number of cinnamon rolls for both of them.
After they finished eating he packed some sweets and cinnamon rolls and paid the bill . Hinata wanted to pay but he requested he will pay for her too . Its first time for hinata that someone else aside from her family paid for her.
He left hinata near the hyuga gates and went towards the hospital. He wants to meet another person .
" Rock lee is he still in hospital ! " Naruto asked a nurse who looked at him for some time .
" He is on the third floor room number 259. Are you his friend ?"
" Yeah I am his friend , I hope he is not in critical stage ," Naruto asked her. Nurse sighed at his comment.
" Tell your friend not to do exercise in his condition . His sensei is another weirdo who cries whenever he see him exercising . Then he talks about something about youth and then hug him. I have literally seen sunsets in the morning because of them . Even I felt like crying after seeing his dedication. I know it is almost impossible for him to continue being a ninja after that tragedy ," Nurse started crying and naruto thought that she is affected by gai virus.
" o. k I will tell him but he will not listen to me on that part . He will keep pushing himself through his limits ," naruto knows the nature of rock lee. He will not give up till his muscles will tear itself . Nurse understood what naruto wanted to say .
Naruto goes to the third floor room number 259. He enters and looks at gai and lee are talking with each other. They notice his presence and smiles at him .
" Hello lee and gai san . So what are you planning for chunin exams ?" Naruto asked both of them .
" We will come to watch you and neji battling and I can't miss it by any chance ," Lee said to naruto. Even gai agreed while nodding with his student word.
" You have come to meet lee that's a great show of friendship from your behalf naruto kun . Don't worry I will bring him on time ," Gai said with his trademark smile. Naruto is happy that they can come on time unlike anime where they arrived late.
" Here I brought you some sweets and cinnamon rolls for you . I know the hospital food is not like the daily food. So I thought to bring it for you for some taste ," Naruto said while giving him the package of food. Lee and gai's tears broke out.
" You are such a good person naruto kun. You brought food for me ," Lee unpacked the food and started eating. Gai is crying too.
' This guys why they are crying all the time. They look very emotional type to me ' naruto thought in his mind.
"I brought a healing tag for you . It is very rare in the summoning realm of eevee . But you should not tell anyone about the existence of it to anyone ," Naruto said to lee. Lee became even more emotional after hearing it.
" Thank you naruto for helping lee. Now he can live his dream as a ninja ," Gai and lee are hugging him and crying. He is crushed between them.
Naruto takes out the healing tag which is green in colour. He puts it on the chest of lee and he engulped in the green energy . His body was repaired and he felt like a new person. After the green energy disappeared . Lee checked himself and he felt his injuries are fully healed .
"Don't ask me about this healing tag it was a gift and cannot be obtained . Nurse told me to tell you that not to do exercise in critical condition. Anyway it is no use to tell you now as you are fully healed ," Naruto explained it to them.
" Thank you so much naruto kun ,I will forever remember this youthful act of yours . I will not tell anyone about this tag to anyone ," Lee said it while tears threatening to come out of his eyes.
" Even I will not tell about it to anyone. It will cause a great amount of trouble for you if this information gets out . It was certainly a treasure you sacrificed for lee, " Gai said and couldn't hold back his tears . Both lee and gai hugging each other while crying.
" See you tomorrow I have to wake up early in the morning for the chunin exam finals," naruto said that and left. Tomorrow they are waiting for a big surprise friends and foe alike .
Next day...
Next day early in the morning he didn't go for lap . After making preparations he summoned bella. She is still an eevee. As soon as she appeared she jumped on his head.
He was walking towards arena and found hinata is going there with kiba and shino. They meet while walking towards the arena.
" Hey kiba, shino and hinata ," Naruto said to them. kiba and shino looked surprised while looking at him .
" You have grown taller in a month naruto ," Kiba told him. He is still swallowing his defeat from his naruto.
" I hope you are ready for finals especially against neji ," shino said to naruto. Shino can feel the difference in him .
" I am more than ready for him at that time and even now . Be careful with kankuro he uses poison in his puppets maybe some needles and sharp objects are hidden inside full of poison . It can be quite harmful for your bugs ," Naruto warned shino and he took it quite seriously afterall he is a bug lover. Any threat for bugs is a threat to him.
" Naruto kun can I hold it during the match if you are not using her in battle . What is it's name I couldn't recognise it ," hinata's full attention is on eevee. She didn't heard what boys were talking.
" Her name is bella . Look at her tail it is like a flower at end of tip and it looks like a heart from one angle of tail when you look from far. I am not using her in battle . Here take her and hold her carefully . She is cute but damn scary if you make her angry ," Naruto warned hinata about the temper of bella. Even aura has a difficult time handling her when she is angry . He gave bella to hinata who cuddled her in her arms.
"Its an eevee but it look quite different from the other guy which I battled earlier ," kiba was surprised after noticing bella.
" It's growth process is like butterflies they evolve after becoming strong. But they can evolve in different beings. Max is evolved into umbreon during night time under moonlight . I didn't know what she will grow into . They are mysterious animal, they have their own path to follow ," Naruto talks a lot about eevee and others listened about it in great interest. After walking they reached the entrance of stadium where the chunin exam matches will be held for the public eye.
Naruto and shino walks towards the arena while hinata and kiba walks towards the stands . Hinata is happy while holding bella on her hands gently. Other woman were watching her with jealousy. Kiba just couldn't understand the women's reason of jealousy .
