Silence

27. My Paddles.

Shizukana's P.O.V.

I opened my eyes to find a white ceiling.

What the hell. Oh right. I passed out again. I sat up on the hospital bed to find Sensei seated on the chair next to me.

He was reading his book. He looked at me and placed his book on the nightstand.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me with a smile.

I groaned and rubbed my head. "I passed out again, so I'm not feeling awesome," I replied with a grimace on my face.

"The doctors say that you didn't replenish your Chakra, and that little stunt you pulled with the puppet really did a number on your chakra reserves," Sensei said sternly making me smile sheepishly. "You're lucky Naruto was there to catch you. Or you would have fallen and hit your head."

As soon as he said Naruto, my mind wandered to his fight. "Did Naruto win?"

Sensei nodded making me smile. "His opponent was Kiba Inuzuka. At first, Naruto was fine but in the end, he won as always."

I nodded. "What about Sasuke. I'm sure you know about the mark on his neck." I asked Sensei who only nodded.

"It's sealed and he should be fine," Sensei said patting my head. "You must not worry. He will be fine."

My eyes widened when I remembered Naruto seal. "Sensei, Orochimaru tampered with Naruto's seal. Will he be okay?" I asked making Sensei hum in thought.

"Well, the seal was weakened but I'm sure he will be alright." As soon as he said that, he narrowed his eye. "How do you know about the seal?"

I just smiled. "I know a lot of things."

He shook his head. I was wearing my previous clothes so I stood up from the bed and stretched my legs.

"Where do you think you are going?" Sensei asked me. I looked at him in confusion.

"Out," I said.

With that, I gathered my stuff and left the Hospital room. I heard the chair squeak and knew that Sensei followed me.

"You do realize that you are nor allowed to use chakra for a few days right?" Sensei asked me making me nod.

"I will visit the library," I replied.

When we reached the receptionist, Naruto was causing trouble there.

"Naruto, quiet down. Its a hospital." Kakashi Sensei said making the blond look at us. He smiled before running towards us.

"Shizukana-chan. You're okay." He said making me nod.

"I am alright," I said patting Naruto on the shoulder.

Naruto looked at Sensei with excitement in his eyes. But before he could say anything, Sensei spoke. "Alright. Now I won't be able to train both of you since I will be training Sasuke. But I have asked a specialist to train both of you."

Naruto deflated like a balloon. He huffed and stomped his leg like a toddler. "Why are you training Sasuke?" Naruto asked Sensei.

Sensei just chuckled. "Sasuke has the Sharingan and we share similar techniques so I thought it would be best if I trained him," Sensei said. "Don't worry. The Jonin who is about to train you specializes in teaching, so he is a better Sensei than I am." Kakashi Sensei said trying to cheer up Naruto.

I just chuckled at Naruto's antics.

As if on cue, a Jonin with round sunglasses walked towards us. He walked proudly and stopped a few feet away from us.
