The Missing Pieces(A Naruto Reader Insert)

Another Proposition

You should feel fear, fear of not being able to fight back if you had to but you don't. There's not even a hint of that dreaded fear, nor is there any sort of anger towards that man. Why would you feel anger? Maybe you should or maybe you shouldn't. It's actually quite funny how you feel so much anger towards those at Konoha rather than Kabuto.

"What the hell do you want now?" But it's you, isn't it?

He laughed as he jumped from the tree to stand only a few feet away from you. You didn't even flinch, you moved no muscle. "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid of who?" Of him? No, you've outgrown that fear two years ago.

Amusement shined through his eyes as he locked those eyes on you. " So, you finally find out the effects of using the revival technique."

"I wouldn't call it as such." The individual is not completely dead so you 

Those eyes trailed your body, not in a perverted way. No, he was analysing the damage of your body. "It's sad that you do not know your own body." No matter how much you growled, it made no difference at how he had said it. "If you think that I'm here to take you back, you're not far from the truth." A long pause took place as you listened to the on going battle of Goro. "However, it's simpler when the individual comes willingly. I have answers that you are looking for."

You stood up your grounds crossing your arms across your chest and raising your chin. "I'm not going back with you."

Again, he laughed. "As you wish." He began to turn  around and walk. The distance between the two of you wasn't too far before he stopped and turned around. "I can make you stronger, however, since you disagree then that's too bad. Listen, your body is breaking down fast. You used that technique too many times, especially when I told you not to. You used it in less than two months, you gave your body little time to get used to it. I am a patient man, if you ever change your mind contact me. I'll have someone close by, you'll know."

Just as he appeared, he was gone. The battle with that man and Goro ended soon after. As expected, Goro rushed to find you. His eyes roamed your body displeased with the amount of blood showing on your clothing. He was about to say something about the issue, but you shook your head. You really want to go home and rest, your body won't be able to stand on its own.

He said nothing as you returned to the Sand Village. As soon. As you arrived, you didn't even take a shower or even change your clothing. You just headed for your bed and as soon as your body landed on it, you lost consciousness.

It was rather strange to see you so...Tired. He would have fought the two enemies on his own if he could have prevented any other I juries coming to your body. Your sleeping for only made him alarm, as soon as you both arrived, you went to go an sleep.

And if that weren't enough, when he got to his own home, Itachi left a note just to let them know what he left. Now, as days have passed you didn't seem to wake up. Your wounds were not healing, and he had cleaned then several times because they would get infected if he didn't.

Maybe he's breaking a promise not to tell anyone, but the worry for your well being is greater than the promise. "You may enter." The voice of the male who he doesn't like at all permitted him to enter his office.

The red headed male eyed him then his side as if expecting you there. Once he noticed that you weren't there, he looked rather disappointed. "You must be asking yourself where [Name] is, that's why I am here
"

The Kazekage motioned for him to occupy the chair in front of him. Goro didn't waste any more time. "Speak."

"I.. Shouldn't be here but I know that if you care for her then you'll do whatever possible to help her."

Those news were far from pleasing, Gaara narrowed his eyes upon hearing the news. "What's wrong with her?"

"After she helped Neji, her wounds haven't healed. They're starting to get infected, as soon as she arrived here she decided to rest. Since then, she hasn't woken up yet."

The calm and collected Gaara frowned as he stood from his seat. "I'll make sure she gets all the help that she needs. Take me to her."

Upon the order, Goro rose from his seat and started to head to your home. However, he was surprised to find you awake. But instead of relieving their worry, it did the opposite. Really dark circles adorned your eyes, and it seemed like you lost weight during the span of days. But even if you were in such a state, you glared at Goro knowing what he did.

"You can say whatever you want, but I do not regret it if it will get you help."

Gaara approached you, his eyes softening. However, as you walked back your feet shook almost sending you to the floor. His sand reacted on his own, engulfing you and saving you from the fall. "Don't worry, we will make sure to help you."

You didn't have the energy or strength to fight, and even fight,  the wave of sleep washing over your head was enough to just give up. No matter how much you slept, it felt as if you hadn't slept for days.

True enough, you had been taken to the hospital. And the Kazekage ordered the best of medical ninjutsu to return you back to your health, any kind of health a long as you didn't owned any wounds.

However, no matter how much they studied your case, they could not find the answers that you needed. And with every day passing by, and every day having to still fight the still unhealed and infected wounds, you came closer to making a decision. You've lived, you know what hell feels like and most of all, you've survived. Now even in such a state, you're not about to give up. You'll survive this, even if it means going back to Kabuto. If you give up now, then why did you fight for so long until now?
