Neji x reader: Top 5 Shinobi Prodigies

Chapter 35

Y/n pov:

I had a tiny bit of strength left I was thinking of a way to stand up and before I knew it I was protecting Neji from the wood. In an instant I felt the pieces go through my body

I finally let go of that breath I was holding and let out a relieved sign

I was about to speak up but coughed up more blood

''Neji are you okay?'' I asked breathing heavily, he turned around to me and his eyes widened ''if I had more strength I could have stopped that ghetto statue'' I said giving a small smile.

I fell forward and Neji caught me as I was about to hit the floor, my vision was getting blurry and everything started fading around me. Neji turned me around causing me to look at him, I could hear he was yelling for the medical ninja to come and help me

he then looked down at me with tears in his eyes and I gave him a smile trying not to cry

''Why would you do that?'' he asked tears rolling down his face

''to protect you, you need to help naruto put a stop to this war'' I replied as it became more difficult to stay awake

''but you shouldn't have done that'' his voice was shaky ''you could have helped Naruto''

''no this is my destiny'' I look at Neji as a tear slipped down my face

''screw your destiny, wh-what am I going to-'' he asked in a shaky voice but I cut him off before he can speak any further

"you're going to live your life'' I put my hand on his cheek. I could hear the medical ninja arrive ''I am sorry I can't do much anymore, I didn't even do anything at all and I am supposed to be the top prodigy''

''you did more than enough it was thanks to you the Hyuga and the other clans of the hidden leaf could continue fighting if it weren't for those papers you gave the Hyuga, then..."he stopped closing his eyes

''Neji, this is it for me'' I gave him sad smile, my vision was blurry, some of Neji's tears were landing on my face

''you know Shikamaru and I talked the other night, it has something to do with me regretting something, well I guess I will regret it, you remember that promise I made Mayu, well it was to tell the boy I love, that I love him, but I guess I won't be able to do that now. Shikamaru was right I will regret not telling the boy I love that I love him'' I said smiling at him and closing my eyes

''may we meet again Neji'' I said as the final tear slid down my face. I looked at Neji one more time, the medical ninja were healing me the best they can

Neji pov

''no y/n wake-up! I should have stopped you, I should have told them, they shouldn't let you fight in the war, but I didn't I only told them to keep you in headquarters'' I stammered as tears run down my face

''y/n wake up no don't leave me!'' I shouted as I looked up at the sky holding y/n close to him, the medical ninja was trying to heal her while I was holding her. I finally put her down and asked Hinata if she had used her paper she said no, turning to look at me as her hand was on naruto's face

''check to see if it still works''

Hinata did as I said and tested to see if the paper still works

''it works'' I said looking at y/n and feeling relieved knowing she is still alive. I let the medical ninja take y/n and heal her

*1 month later*

the war finished everyone was back to their old lives, well sort of, there were being funerals held and some shinobi were still missing

when the war was done the medical ninja took y/n to the hospital, healing her, they barely managed to keep her alive but she survived she has just been in a coma for the past month. Her condition got better but not enough for her to awake, the medical ninja were still healing her, Lady Tsunade helped them and so did sakura and even the prodigies.

they stopped healing when she was stable but they still came to heal her once a day and to see how she is doing

y/n pov:

I have been seeing black for who knows how long, my eyelids felt as heavy as ever, but one day my eyes started opening slowly. I could feel I wasn't in the hidden leaf so I had to be in the inner-mind

once I opened my eyes I sat up. I was right I was in the inner mind but the tailed beasts weren't here. I couldn't feel their chakra so I tried to stand up to search for them but I couldn't

I sat there for more than 5 minutes when I felt the 1 tails chakra. He appeared in front of me, and I asked him whats going on

''the other tailed beast chakra should appear soon as well, we have been using our chakra to help heal you, since we had to heal not only the wounds you got in the war but also your weakening body, because of the power'' he sat down in front of me as he explained everything that has happened. I asked a couple of question one of them why he only appeared now

''it's because you gained consciousness, but only in the inner-mind, you are still unconscious in the real world''

I nodded to his response as he then continued explaining and not long after all the tailed beast were here and I could finally stand again, stretching as I stood up I look at the tailed beast

''it took so long to heal you, it would have been slower if they didn't heal you from the Leaf, but it also took long considering you have 9 tailed beasts inside you'' Kurama crossed his arms as he sighed

''why did it take so long'' I took a seat again, still feeling a little weak

''it's because we thought about ways for you to survive, and we only started healing you last week since we needed some of your chakra to heal you, and your chakra only started getting stronger last week'' Matatabi explained as she sat next to Kurama and Shukaku next to her

I nodded ''how long have I been out?''

"almost 2 months now if I am not mistaken'' Chomen said as he laid down, they all looked super exhausted.

I already know what happened in the war since Shukaku explained everything so there wasn't much to ask

'I wonder if Neji is fin-' my thoughts were interrupted when Matatabi spoke

''Neji is doing just fine, he survived'' she smiled at me and I sigh feeling relieved

''you guys said you thought of a way for me to survive, how'' I broke the silence

they all looked at each other and nodded before they looked at me

Matatabi:''after we tell you, you will be able to leave since you awoke in the inner-mind''

Kurama:''but take it easy since you are not completely healed''

Gyuki:'' we don't want you dying on us''

they all said after each other not wanting to waste any time, I nodded and told them I understand

''you need a child'' They all said in unison

''a child!?" I exclaimed not expecting that
