Ha! Now yall cannot smack meh!
“This is such a drag....” Shikamaru sighed.
“I’m sorry....
“It’s not your fault. I was ordered to do this by the Hokage and whatever she says goes.”
A few minutes later they arrived. Ayame knocked on the door.
“Come in!” Tsunade shouted from inside.
Ayame opened the door and walked in followed by Shikamaru.
“Thank you Shikamaru, you may leave.”
Shikamaru bowed and left the room.
“So, did you enjoy your tour around the village?”
“Yes. This is a wonderful village and I’m very grateful.”
Tsunade nodded.
“Alright, let’s get down to business. If you are going to stay here, you should probably try to blend in a little.”
“What do you mean?”
“Really, I want you to trade in your Sound head band in for a Leaf one. So,
I’m going to test your skills”
“Ok....But...”
Her face turned red.
“What is it?”
“I mainly only know medical jutsu...But don’t worry! I do know the basic stuff and chidori.”
“Well, you’re in luck. I happen to be a medical ninja myself. Show me what you’ve got.”
“Ok.”
After showing Tsunade all her regular jutsu (like clones and substitution) it was time to show her Chidori.
“Ok! I think I got it this time!” Ayame said excitedly.
She moved her hand in rapid hand motions and held her right hand down.
“Chidori!”
Chakara started to form in her hand chirping and twisting around. She ran towards a large bolder and hit it with her hand causing it to shatter. The chakara then stopped.
“I did it!”she said jumping up in the air pumping her fist.
“Nice job.” Sasuke said.
“Thanks!”
Ayame took a deep breath. She moved her hands in that familiar series of motions and held her hand down.
“Chidori.”
She aloud the chakara to form in her hand, she held it for a few seconds and let the chakara then fizzle out.
“Nice.” Tsunade complimented.
“Thanks....But I’m almost out of chakara and will not be about to show you
any medical jutsu....”
Tsunade handed her a pill.
“This will replenish your chakara long enough for you to show me your medical jutsu.”
Ayame rolled the pill in her hand. She put it in her mouth and swallowed. Her strength returned almost immediately.
After showing her the basic medical jutsu with animals it was time for the human test.
Tsunade pulled out a kunai.
“Here,” Kabuto said handing Ayame a kunai.
“What am I suppost to do with this?” she asked.
“I want you to cut yourself with it, fairly deep. Then I want you to heal yourself.”
“Why?”
“I’ve learned that people learn medical jutsu better when it’s preformed on themselves.”
“Ok....”
“If you cannot do I’ll be here to finish the healing job for you.”
She grasped onto the kunai and held it against her left arm, closed her eyes and cut. The pain came instantly, causing her to gasp out in pain and surprise. She became pale as she pulled the kunai dripping with her blood away from her arm. Blood slowly poured out of the gash. Her eyes grew wide and she started to shake, causing the kunai to fall from her hand, clanging as it hit the ground.
“Ayame, you need to calm down. Take a deep breath, let it out and summon the chakara to you hand like we practiced.”
She did as he said. She took a deep breath, let it out and summoned the chakara to her right hand. She brought it to the wound and started to heal it. A few minutes later the cut was gone leaving a small scar in it’s place.
“You need to practice more. With a real patient you cannot leave any scars.”
Ayame fingered the scar on her arm. She closed her eyes and held out her right hand waiting for the cold metal of the kunai to be placed in her hand. When the cold didn’t come she opened her eyes to see Tsunade cutting her own arm.
“What are you doing Tsunade-Sama?!”
“That scar on your arm is from when you first worked on healing humans correct? Well, I don’t agree with Kabuto’s methods. Sure it may be better to work on yourself, but it puts more stress on the students and can traumatize them. Normally if someone is hurt and in the infirmary I would take my student or students down to work on them. Lately though, it seems my ninjas have been more careful. Which is a good thing. So, you’ll have to work with me.” She said grinning.
Ayame took a deep breath, sent chakara to her hand. It glowed bright with chakara as she raised her hand and placed it over Tsunade’s arm, healing the cut almost instantly. She had improved much since her first time, leaving the skin scar free. She moved her hand away and stopped the flow of chakara.
Tsunade looked at her and felt it, making sure it had healed all the way.
“I’m impressed. I officially give you permission to act as a Leaf ~~~~~”
She tossed Ayame a Leaf ninja headband.
“Thanks....” she said as she caught it. She examined it and frowned.
“What’s wrong?”
“....It’s just that....”
“What?”
“It’s blue.”
“So?”
“Blue doesn’t go with my purple outfit! Why else would the Sound Village headbands be purple?”
“Because Orochimaru like purple?”
“...Well yes, but it’s because he told me I could choose what ever color I wanted for the Sound Village, so I choose purple. Plus, Kabuto looks nice in purple.”
“Well that’s too bad, because here they are blue. So, just wear it!!!”
“......Fine.....Thanks for all the trouble....” She said bowing.
“You’re welcome. You may go.”
Ayame waved and walked out the door only to be ambushed!
“Ayame!” Naruto said happily ambushing her with a hug.
When he backed away he noticed the headband in her hand.
“You’re a Leaf ninja now? Cool!”
“Yeah.”
“Shikamaru told me you were here, so I came to walk you home!”
“Thank you.”
They left the building and started walking down the road.
“Naruto-kun?”
“Yeah? What is it?”
“The two years I was with Sasuke were kinda nice... I finally had someone who had gone threw the same thing has me. His family being killed off and my village being killed off.” She started to wipe tears out of her eyes, “Please Naruto-kun....When you see Sasuke...Can you ask him if he misses me? Even a little? Because I miss him...”
“Ayame...”
“Heh...Look at me. I’m a mess....” she said giggling and smiling slightly, “I must be more tired than I thought.”
Naruto gathered her into a hug and let her cry on his shoulder.
“Everything I once knew is a lie!” She sobbed.
“Thanks for walking me home, Naruto-kun. You’re a great friend.”
“It’s no trouble at all. Tomorrow I have a training exercise, but afterwards if you want maybe we can hang out....Maybe get some ramen?”
“I’d like that.”
“See you then. Well, goodnight Ayame.”
“Goodnight Naruto-kun.”
..............More later
