Naruto sat straight before viewing the time on the clock on top of the door. His eyes then found the near limp of his right arm that was now missing. He sighed. He couldn't eat ramen without it, he couldn't even train.

Oh how he missed his right arm. Sasuke being lucky who lost his left, gets his right arm, and worse Sasuke's not even left handed. But snapping Naruto out of his trance was a mere nock at the door. Before the door opened revealing a girl and two boys.

They were team 8. Hinata was in the middle holding a Bouquet of flowers, while Kiba and Shino stood behind her. Kiba had a big grin on his face while Shino simply had his hands in his pockets.

Naruto could feel his face form a smile before he hopped off the bed that he was sitting on before he walked over to then begin greeting them.

"Kiba, Hinata, Shino! What's up?" He said before his eyes met eye contact with the bluenett.

She had often come to visit him. So it was usual for him to see her, when she visited she tried her best to keep him company. Like walk around with him in the village when Sakura sent Naruto to go get something, or even go water some flower out of a habit that he did. Even help him eat ramen at times.

She would also bring in flowers, probably from Ino, and Sakura would often tell him to go thank her. He took his mind off of her for a sec.

"Oh nothing, Hinata here wanted to come see you but couldn't come up with an excu-" Kiba began, with a taunting voice, before Hinata turned to him.

"Kiba-Kun!" She whinned. Stopping him from going any further. Kiba on scratched the back of his head grinning as he apologized.

Naruto simply lifted a brow and felt a sudden feeling wash over him as he looked at the two before he snapped out of it.

"So how's your arm? Naruto.." A deeper tone asked. Naruto looked over to Shino.

"Oh Shino! Almost forgot you were there!" Naruto said smiling. But Shino simply looked down.

"I'm always the forgotten one..." he said before pushing his glasses up his nose bridge.

"Aye come on Shino I was just kidding!" Naruto shouted trying to calm the sad man.

Soon enough the whole team stepped into the hospital room before Kiba and Naruto began talking. Hinata had gone and switch the flowers with the now dying ones while Shino stood next to Kiba.

Naruto laughed. How he missed the old times, when there were no wars and now it felt that way but he knew it wouldn't be the same because they had loss someone and that someone was Neji Hyuga.

When Neji passed all of their friends hadn't felt the same. Hinata had loss her cousin and Lee and TenTen had lost a teammate and Gai, he lost one of his students. But also they lost one of their friends.

At his funeral it felt strange. People were in tears and even Naruto had conferred Hinata who looked completely broken. He knew that back when Neji had died right infront of them she couldn't have just cried there and she stood strong and tried her best to get him back to his senses but now he got to see that broken side of  Hinata and he admitted it wasn't the best.

When time had gone by  the team had left and Naruto was once again alone in the hospital. He was there waiting for Sakura to come back with Lady Tsunades results in getting Naruto an arm made by Hashirama's cells. It was his hospital room.

He laid back on the bed before his mind drifted to wonder. His face smiled as he was exited about an arm. But his face then frowned upon thinking his best friend left too soon.

"Right when he's back he leaves again.." Naruto said softly. But his face then rested.

"But at least he's not on the bad side anymore, I mean he's now and will forever be a leaf shinobi.." Naruto shifted his body to one side of the bed. His blue eyes blinked before his mind rest upon the girl who he liked as a kid.

He closed his eyes. Remembering how Sakura had always gone for Sasuke. How at first he only like Sakura for her looks but her love for Sasuke made him want to have her more. Sasuke was his rival after all. But now as he thought of it he doesn't really like her as much as he use to. He cared about her but wasn't as attracted to her.

He now knows that Sakura will and forever love Sasuke, and he felt okay with that. A grin fell upon his lips once more.

"Did he really have to leave Sakura-chan so early, I mean she was so happy. Even wanted to go with you, Baka." Naruto laughed.

"Who you calling "baka" baka."  (Baka = Idiot)

Naruto's eyes opened to only watch as Sakura walked in. She had her tied up with her doctor coat on. Naruto quickly sat up. Then hopped off just like before.

"Ah! Sakura-Chan! How'd it go!? Arm! Did I get a new arm!?" Naruto yelled. Sakura smiled closing her eyes ready to speak but Naruto once again opened his mouth.

"Oh, Oh gimme gimme! Where's my arm? Give it!?"

Sakura began to feel a little annoyed, her hands that held the clip board shook in annoyance.

"Come on Sakura-chan! I'm good for it! Give it!" Naruto said again. Sakura opened her eyes now annoyed.

"Saku-"

"Shut up and listen and maybe I'll tell you what's going on!" She yelled slamming her clipboard on the ground. Naruto quickly put his arms in front of him scared.

"Okay, Okay, I'm sorry!" Naruto yelled scared.

Soon enough Sakura walked over to Naruto and explained that Naruto would have to wait a little more. She had told him that the cells weren't working well and they needed a little more time but only a few weeks or even a month he'll have it.

Naruto felt slightly down but Sakura mentioned that he wouldn't be needing to be in the hospital for in a few weeks so he should be happy. He had been staying there after all. Even though he left most of the time he would often feel pain and go back. He only wondered how Sasuke was doing. But he was treated more than Naruto before being sent to the Jail.

Naruto sighed.

"It's not fair, Sasuke got to leave so early." Naruto whined.

"Well I guess he healed faster, even though you have the ninetails.." Sakura said sighing as well, the lone thought of Sasuke brought her depressed.

"Hmm, but you also took really good care of him so probably that's why he's more healthier." Naruto said. Sakura quickly looked at him wide eyed and cheeks flushed.

"Wha-You-No! What are you talking about!?" She said flustered. Naruto only chuckled.

-------------------------------------------------

Naruto layed back down on the hospital bed. He sighed before he began to close his eyes. A soft smile reached his lips as he thought about all of his accomplishments up until now and suddenly his mother came to mine.

Like how he told his father before he left from the reanimation jutsu, he hadn't drank yet, bathed a lot, ate enough even though he cut out the part of him eating ramen a a bunch. He felt the only thing unanswered was the part about the right girl.

Through his whole life he never really gave much thought about actually getting married and kids and even now he thought that was a subject for later on. He slightly opened his eyes. His eyes met the window of the hospital which the moon had shined from.

Thinking about people marrying was kinda strange for him to think. Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, Sai, Kiba, Shino, Choji. They all would get married right? But that's not right he forgot someone, Hinata. Hinata would get married too...one day..

Naruto felt a feeling wash over him again. But he ignored it once again. He still wasn't an adult yet so he decided it's best he just ignores thinking about stuff like that.
