Naruto: True World

Chapter 2: Chapter #02: Not a Normal Day



'Ah, my head! What happened? For a semi-pro like me to get a headache just from little sleep, is too much, I think. But I have been doing it a lot lately. Maybe I should sleep a bit earlier for the next few days. Something to think about. Nah!'

'What is this? Where am I?', the boy looked around.

It was a beige color. The room walls were beige.

He rubbed his eyes again and looked.

'It's still beige, and it looks so worn down. I clearly remember that my room walls were white, not sparkling white, but they still were white and clean. What is this place? Did someone pull a prank on me? But to go this far. I don't even know anybody here who is willing to prank.'

'Ah, my head is ringing. Fuck. What happened to me yesterday? Did somebody drug me and throw me here? But where could somebody do it? It couldn't be at the university. I didn't interact much with anybody'

"Damn! What is with this damn headache?"

Everything is spinning.

Suddenly it sounded as if loud traffic sounds were running in his head. And then drums, bullets being fired from the barrel of the gun, lightning and thunder, people screaming in the fire.

"Uff, why is this happening?" he screamed with gut-wrenching, mind-splitting pain. He clutched his head with both arms and tried to slap his head again and again to make the pain stop.

And then, he slumped on the sheets on the ground.

Unconscious again.

A severe pain expression could be seen on his face. Saliva dripping out of the mouth. He looked like a person who had overdosed due to drug abuse. His fists were clenched so hard that nails had dug into the palm's skin and started to bleed a little.

"Yuku! He is an interesting one. How did he notice me just now?" exclaimed a voice.

"Don't call me that. I'm Yukug. Call me Yukug," replied another.

"Anyway, are you happy now? Just a small manifestation and you got excited immediately? What's so great about this one? There are a dime a dozen like him anywhere. He is probably just another one like that as well. Let's get going," a creepy whistling sound barked. It was a difficult combination indeed.

"Okay. The Buzurg is waiting for me back there. Let's just record his name".

Umm. What is it? Sam El Jackson. No, what kind of name is that? scarlet no. Let's go to his previous memories a day before. Shin Hoshino. hmm."

A bit of dust particles moved and there was silence everywhere.

A few hours later. A knock came on the door. 

"Shin. Shin. Open the door. It's breakfast time". 

There was no response from the boy who was lying on the ground in a butt-up and face-down position. In such cold weather and this posture, he would be getting a cold or fever the next morning.

"Boy!! if you make me wait again I promise I'll beat you with my high-heeled sandals this time. Good thing I brought ice just in case." 

Again, no response. 

"Ah for the love of? why do these orphans always have to be so difficult"

A hulking woman opened the door. the ground trembled with her movements. 

She saw the boy and her expression widened. 

"What happened to you? did you drug yourself? but where would you even get that?." She bellowed. 

She screamed again. "Dai!! get here quickly. Take him to a medic now"

Leaf Central Hospital. 

A boy was lying on the bed and there were 2 medic kunoichi in the room. 

"So, Aina what was the initial Diagnosis?", spoke a beautiful woman in a hospital gown wearing a leaf standard-issued military jacket as innerwear. 

"There is nothing wrong with him. we tried to treat him with Mystical Palm many times. but there are no busted arteries, nothing foreign in his system that would cause an overdose" replied Aina.

"Hmm. What could it be?"

'Could it be an effect of a seal, a cursed seal, poison? No. There was no poison particulate in his bloodstream, Genjutsu. No. Maybe he got a disease related to the brain. I better get a Yamanaka to check this case.' 

As the two women were deliberating on what to do next. the boy weakly opened his eyes. As the little boy slowly regained consciousness, his head throbbed with a relentless ache. Every movement sent sharp jolts of pain coursing through his skull. He blinked his eyes open, fighting against the haze that clouded his vision.

A wave of dizziness washed over him, making the room spin. He struggled to sit up, but a surge of nausea and disorientation forced him back down onto the pillow. His heart raced, and a sense of fear gripped him, realizing something was wrong.

'I. Where am I? It`s a hospital.

.....

'Why am I in a hospital? What's going on?'

He tried to speak. But his tongue refused to listen to what the brain commanded. 

'I can't speak. Maybe...I can try moving my eyelids.'

The boy slowly opened his eyelids. At least a little part of his body was still working. Aina noticed the boy opening his eyes. 

"Hey, he`s awake. Finally" Aina widened the boy`s eyes and checked. It seemed normal. 

"Hello. little man. Shin. right. How are you feeling?" Harumi asked kindly. 

The boy just stared right ahead. 

"Hmm, he can't speak. Aina!, check his condition. Do a blood test and get one of the Yamanaka clan ninjas here. This is an unusual case so, I want to get a second opinion."

"Yes. Head Doctor Harumi"

Meanwhile, the boy stared. 

'What the heck is going on? Yamanaka? Isn't that one of those ninja clans from the Naruto anime? Hold on a second, what am I saying? Am I actually in the Naruto world? This can't be real! Did Kishimoto get a sneak peek of this world before writing Naruto?'

'Alright, let's not lose it. Maybe I'm just dreaming. Yeah, that's it. I'll just close my eyes, count to three, and poof! I'll wake up in my lumpy, uncomfortable bed. This is all just a hilarious dream, right? One... two... three... No way! I'm still here, in this hospital room. Seriously, universe, what are you playing at?'

'I mean, don't get me wrong. Watching Naruto was entertaining but I don't want to be in such a dangerous world. A warning? Maybe... a complimentary ninja outfit? Anything! This is like waking up at a cosplay convention without knowing you signed up for it.'

'Okay, okay, deep breaths, deeeep breathsss. Let's analyze the situation. I've had weird dreams before, right? Remember that one with the talking carrot? Yeah, this is just another crazy adventure in my hyperactive dreams. 

'But seriously, could anyone turn down the absurdity dial just a little? I'm not sure I can handle all these ninja clans and chakra powers without bursting into laughter. I hope there's a hidden camera somewhere, to capture my bewildered face for the world to see.'

'Alright, let's take it one step at a time.'

Deep Breath. Deeeeep Breaathhhhh. 

...

...

...

...

'Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.'

'Okay... calm down... calm down.'

'let's try to move my tongue first.'

After some more expenditure of effort for 30 minutes, a series of gargling noises came out of Shin`s mouth. 

"gglfklgfsdks"

The nurse in the corner of the room noticed it and immediately came over. 

"Oh! You can speak now. Great. I will go get the doctor".
