Strings Of Destiny

I'm Weak

"Naruto stop...you know you can't move" Tsunade said Izumi on the other hand watched as Naruto struggled to lift his arms.

Gritting his teeth Naruto pushed himself onto his elbows and fell out of bed head first smashing his face off the floor both Tsunade and Izumi gasped at his determination.

"I have to get up" Naruto groaned out using his chin to move himself.

"No...you have to heal, your body is healing itself but it's going to take some time" Tsunade said trying to reason with him.

Izumi stared at Naruto his entire torso was bandaged and she could see red spots where he had reopened his wounds his face was partially bandaged and his arms where to. Walking over to him Izumi grabbed a hold of Naruto's arm being careful not to touch any of the injured parts and slowly began to help him to his feet.

"She's right...you have to heal at your current condition you can't do anything" Izumi said plainly helping Naruto walk to the bed.

"Once you heal you can do whatever you want...don't let stubbornness kill you" Izumi stated as Naruto lay back on the bed a frown etched onto his face.

"Fine..." Naruto said painfully turning over facing away from both women.

Tsunade stared sadly at Naruto he had been hiding what he was really thinking he had acted happy when he had woken up because he didn't want any pity and so she didn't worry however the Uchiha had seen through him...was she just good at reading emotions or was it something more.

"Let's leave him" Tsunade said going back into the other room with Izumi and sitting down at the small table in the room while Izumi sat down as well.

"I understand you're most likely not going to tell me what you were doing in Kumogakure or why you were fighting the Raikage... so I'm going to ask why was he fighting still with those injuries I've never met anyone who can still stand after them injuries never mind fighting" Tsunade asked her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Perhaps he just doesn't feel the pain, I've never seen him cry or shout out after being hurt" Izumi said frowning while Tsunade narrowed her eyes even more.

"He...doesn't feel pain?" Tsunade asked knowing that couldn't be possible Naruto had always showed signs of pain...however...her eyes widened slightly as she had thought of something.

"Usually...but it's only when he's pushing himself too much...but that's a good thing right?" Izumi asked.

"Not...feeling pain is never a good thing...as pain reminds us we are still alive" Tsunade said frowning as she thought what could be wrong with Naruto.

With Naruto

It had been a couple of hours since Tsunade and Izumi had left the room his body did feel a little better and he was able to move around a little better as well. Narrowing his eyes Naruto pushed his legs to the side with and with an audible groan he threw his legs off the bed so he was sitting up.

Placing his feet on the ground Naruto carefully stood up wincing as he felt a tingling sensation rack throughout his whole body. To think he could be wounded to this level he had always relied on the fact his body and the fact he was able to heal faster than most to keep him alive but his fight with the Raikage had shown him that he wasn't as safe as he had thought...even when he had went all out he couldn't knock the Raikage down...he was so...weak.

Gritting his teeth Naruto walked towards the window of the room ignoring the pain he felt after each step and opened it. Struggling to get his body over the ledge Naruto fell face first to floor he was grateful the room was only two stories high but what surprised him more was he actually didn't feel that much pain...ruling it off as the way he landed Naruto pushed himself up with great effort before limping off.

With Tsunade and Izumi

In the other room both Tsunade and Izumi had opened a bottle of sake and had talked for a quite a bit it was mostly about Naruto as both women where protective of their past and they still saw each other as rivals however after a lot of sake both women were pretty tipsy and were talking on relatively friendly terms.

"So...Uchiha are you and Naruto...Lovers?" Tsunade asked eyeing Izumi, Tsunade had always referred to her as Uchiha throughout the entire conversation.

"...No" Izumi said and Tsunade raised her eyebrows before laughing slightly.

"So he hasn't tried it on with you yet?" Tsunade asked wondering why Naruto hadn't made his move on Izumi granted she was an Uchiha but she was beautiful.

"It's not that he hasn't tried it's just I don't want to" Izumi stated thinking back to the night at the port where she had rejected Naruto.

"So what's the deal then you got another lover or something?" Tsunade questioned while Izumi sighed.

"No...nothing like that...I don't need those things it's nothing but extra baggage that I don't need" Izumi answered truthfully, in all her life the closest thing she had ever had to a lover was a boyfriend back in Konoha and the most they had done was hold hands however she felt nothing for the man it was meant to be an arranged marriage set up by her father...although she did have a crush once...but he was her best friend so nothing ever came of it.

"So you've never....?" Tsunade continued looking towards Izumi.

"Of course not...I'm not like you Senju I won't spread my legs for anyone" Izumi said causing Tsunade's eyebrows to twitch before scoffing.

"Please...don't act like you have honor after what you did" Tsunade replied and Izumi glared slightly before putting up her impassive face again.

"Honor is all I have left" Izumi said looking down at the table and Tsunade sighed the mood was becoming depressing.

"Why did you do it...anyway?" Tsunade asked however Izumi narrowed her eyes at the thought of something and stood up ignoring Tsunade's question. Opening the door to the room Naruto was meant to be in Izumi's eyes widened when she found the bed empty.

"Hey, why'd you get up Uchi..." Before Tsunade could finish her sentence her eyes widened as she to notice the bed was empty and the window to the room was open and that it was raining heavily.

"Idiot" Tsunade growled grabbing her Haori and jumping out of the window. Izumi stared at where Naruto had been lying and noticed the blood on the bed before and like Tsunade jumped out of the window into the rain.
