Dominator In Naruto

Chapter 130 – Trapped in Hospital



"How are you?"

Guren opened his now golden eyes, having turned ever since the transformation of the Hogyoku. His pink bangs fell in front of his eyes, which he removed. He knew the owner of this voice, presence being the genetic father of this body.

He was standing beside the bed, looking over the bed in the same attire he always wore. Sasuke observed the golden eyes that seemed to carry a nebula in them, bright, gorgeous, but more than that, there wasn't a tomoe in them.

"Bored...how long do I have to stay trapped in this place?"

"We moved you to the public Hospital. Just a few more days of observation to see that you can fully control your chakra and you can come back home."

"I already said that I can control," Guren sighed, rolling on the hospital bed, wrapping the white sheet around him. He held the pillow, cutely sulking, "I want to play too."

"Missions are not for playing," Sasuke sighed in worry. He had seen how careless Guren could be, even when fighting against an Otsutsuki.

"Boruto got a mission," Guen gave Sasuke a piercing look, "Aren't you as strong as Lord Hokage? I never saw you have any power over the politics of the village. So uncool."

The looks in Sasuke's eyes didn't change; he turned around to leave, "I was the one that suggested to keep you under observation a little longer. Moreover, Boruto is just babysitting Daimyo's son...who is a spoiled brat."

Sasuke didn't hear the reply, so he moved to open the door, only to hear a laugh, "Ahhh~ That does make me feel better." 

Sasuke smiled ever so slightly, walking out of the room, moving at high-speed to disappear from the public eye and appear in the Hokage's Room.

"Naruto...Shikamaru," Sasuke nodded towards the two. They seemed busy discussing the matters of the village, "He's not showing any signs of losing control, so it should be safe. But just in case, I want to try to see if he loses control during a mock battle."

"I see, that seems like a good idea," Shikamaru nodded, sighing in pain, "But right now, we have a bigger problem at hand."

Sasuke raised his eyebrows, looking towards Naruto, asking with a look in the eye if something was the matter.

Naruto leaned back, tired, worried, "We got the news that Mujina Bandits Gang is after Daimyo's son. But more than that, there is a chance that Iwagakure might invade Land of the Flower."

"Mujina Bandits?" Sasuke muttered that name, remembering what he heard about the gang from the underbelly, "Ever since Akatsuki, there have been more of these. Missing Ninjas coming together to form an organization. How did you know what their aim was? Even among the Gangs, they have little presence in the underbelly."

"Yes, there was a three-cell team that Team Konohamaru was supposed to follow to their leader, but..." Shikamaru held his head in annoyance.

Even though he didn't say anything, Sasuke could tell from Naruto's embarrassed face that it was Boruto's fault.

Shikamaru shook his head, "Anyway, the team tried to rob the bank, but after interrogation, we learned that they have plans for Daimyo's Son."

Sasuke still questioningly looked at them; it was beyond him why they were so worried about something so trivial.

Shikamaru used the opportunity to put forward his point, "I suggested that we let Daimyo's Son be kidnapped, and then save him. That way, the Daimyo would owe Naruto a favor and might hear our plea to talk on our behalf and convince Earth Daimyo to not force the Tsuchikage to invade the Land of Flowers."

"We can't," Naruto shook in his head, again the whole idea, "It's just..."

Sasuke spoke up, nodding, "I do agree with Shikamaru's plan. It's a good way to make sure that what you want...happens."

Naruto looked up at Sasuke with a troubled look, only for Sasuke to close his eyes and sigh, "But then again, you are the Hokage. Do the things the same way you have always done. If there is a war...we'll handle it."

Naruto let out a breath of relief, smiling, "Thank you, Sasuke."

Shikamaru scratched his head, "And here I thought for once I might get the upper hand and let you be rational."

In frustration, he walked towards the exit, only stopping when Naruto called out to him, "Shikamaru..."

"Yeah, yeah. I won't do anything."

He closed the door, leaning against it to breathe out the stress, but froze. In front of him was an eye, nigh-transparent; if it wasn't in front of his face, then he wouldn't have known that it was there. He moved his face a little, and the eye tilted with his face, making him raise his hand to take the eye's attention so he could misdirect its sight, but it only moved back to take in the whole picture.

The eye started moving, making Shikamaru carefully follow it. It went out the window, so he followed it right after, telling the Anbu's who noticed his strange behavior to stay.

The eye roamed moved towards the Gate of Konoha. So he followed. Still, even after about ten minutes of hiding, it went back inside, making him follow the train as it rode, but even after hours of traveling around. It seemingly got tired and went towards the Hospital, entering a room.

Shikamaru's eyes shined, his face haggard after all the chasing he had to do just to know who the owner of this was. When he entered through the window, a nagging feeling came from his subconsciousness.

Shikamaru's eyes fell on the child, grinning as they stretched their body before laying down, "Ahh~ That was so much fun."

He nearly fell down from the ledge of the window, "I should have known it was you...you children will be the death of me."

Guren grinned, waving his hand, "Uncle, you suck at tracking. But I did enjoy you trying."

Shikamaru sat up against the wall, rolling his eyes, "You were eavesdropping? That's a crime, you know."

"Ok, then you can put me in jail. It's better than being in the Hospital...but...I do have an interesting solution for the problem at hand," He sweetly grinned, asking, "Do you want to hear?"

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes, "As long as it doesn't undermine the Hokage."

 

"It won't. I promise," Guren turned on his back, raising his arms, "This is going to be so much fun."
