Strings Of Destiny

I'm Weak

Welcome back to the chapter number 37 of "Strings Of Destiny".

Last chapter we had Naruto and the Raikage fight in that fight I wanted to show that Naruto is just about on the power level of the Kages however even Naruto has to have people stronger than him be that through experience or whatever and he was lucky to escape and just for the record Naruto was never running out of chakra in that battle it was his wounds that had caused him to suffer and you'll see in this chapter how bad his wounds were.

On another note I've changed some things from canon. Plus I'm hoping that I'm showing part of Naruto's past before he became messed up in a good light I want to show part of his reasoning for thinking the way he thinks, acts the way he does and ultimately does what he does.

Also Izumi's fight with Bee was not shown mostly because it was pretty much just her dodging all his attacks also the reason I didn't show her using her full Susanoo was because she can't do it yet same with Tsukuyomi hers can still be broken at the moment and it's not as fast as it is in canon yet...so Izumi still has some ways to go.

Naruto groaned in pain as he struggled to open his eyes, his vision was still partially blurry and his body felt like every bone had been snapped even moving his fingers hurt tremendously. Taking those hits from the Raikage was reckless that man was known as physically the strongest man alive and every hit felt like his entire skeleton had been shaken to the core.

"You're awake" A familiar voice spoke out and Naruto smiled slightly since he was glad he heard her voice it was quite reassuring.

"Barely...but I'm glad to see you...Tsunade" Naruto admitted as the blonde haired woman walked around to the bed Naruto was lying on and sat down in the chair next to it.

"I bet...I wasn't expecting to see you for another couple of weeks, but by the looks of things you're not here for that" Tsunade said sighing at Naruto's condition.

"Yeah...how bad is it?" Naruto asked and Tsunade frowned slightly.

"Truthfully...you're in bad condition...you're body was pushed to its limit, all you're ribs are broken you suffered multiple internal bleeding's and you've suffered minor damage to your head...you're lucky really if it was anyone other than me treating you you'd be dead right now" Tsunade said placing her hand on Naruto's forehead.

"Thank you" Naruto said closing his eyes at the feeling of Tsunade now brushing the hair out of his eyes.

"Out of curiosity who were you fighting?" Tsunade asked moving a little closer to Naruto her other hand interlocking fingers with Naruto.

"The Raikage" Naruto admitted and Tsunade gasped slightly she had met the man before he had even beaten her in an arm wrestle so for Naruto to even still be alive right now was truly a miracle if he had been taking hits from that man.

"Idiot, why did you fight him?" Tsunade asked.

"Well Izumi and I sort of had a mission and well..." Naruto opened his eyes for a few moments before gasping.

"Shit...where is she?" Naruto asked painfully turning his head to the side to look at Tsunade who frowned.

"You mean the Uchiha?" Tsunade asked with a little bit of distaste. However Naruto ignored it and nodded.
