Chapter 85: Fight For Survival
Glancing outside a window at the topmost room in a hospital was Rock Lee.
The sterile walls of his room offered him little comfort, his body immobilized in a cast. But the arrival of Jada, his cheerful friend, turned things around.
"How're you feeling today, Lee?" she asked after opening the door. A wide smile spread across his face as she entered the room.
"Jada!" he exclaimed in a joyful tone. "You came to visit!"
She returned his smile and replied, "Of course, Lee. I promised I wouldn't miss a day until you recovered."
She drew closer to his bedside, her hand gently resting on his arm. He sighed slightly, admitting, "I miss training... I miss the thrill of working hard."
Jada squeezed his arm reassuringly and said, "I know, but you need to rest. You'll be back on your feet in no time."
"I am glad you have so much hope for me," he replied. There wasn't a single ounce of doubt in his eyes. "Is this Tsunade really as good as you say she is?"
"She is!" she happily said.
"But what if I never recover?"
Jada's smile faltered as she said in a firm tone, "Don't talk like that. Tsunade will heal you. She's the best medic in the world."
