Naruto
The Chaos Knight
And we're back! Well, I can't say that this story will be a garanteed hit, but I'm definately going to try and get it up there. I didin't think I was going to get over 8 alerts for it! That was a pleasant surprise and hopefully I can take this shit up off the ground. And with that speech...
Let the CHAOS continue!
Chapter Two: A Full Recovery?!
Konoha Hospital...
Two hours had passed since the dreadful incident upon the Hokage Monument. Sitting in the waiting room oustide of the infirmary was the sweating and nail-biting Iruka, who was axciously awaiting the results of what kind of damage had befallen Naruto. The most he could tell, was that it sure as Hell didn't look good for him. The poor boy had been struck by a lightening bolt; that, alone, should have up and killed him right then and there. The poor boy fell off of the Monument; charred and crisped with electrifing results. Luckily for Naruto, Iruka flashed by just in time to catch him before he landed on his head. The thing that amazed the tanned Chuunin at the moment was that Naruto was still breathing...
Writhing in the greatest pain he'd ever felt in his life... but breathing.
In a nearly frantic and hysterical state, Iruka rushed Naruto to the hospital as fast as his legs could carry him. Once he arrived he was soaking wet from the trecherous storm outside; craddling the dying Naruto in his arms. Iruka begged for the assistance of the Med nin who were miraculously on the scene already. Though they knew EXACTLY what Iruka was carrying in his arms, the instinct that came with doing their job pushed them to rush the boy into intensive care and do all in their power to stablize him. Iruka wanted to go with them with every viber of his soul, but he knew he couldn't, yet that didn't stop him from worrying his head off when he finally calmed down enough to sit down and wait.
"God... please let Naruto live through this... He's too young...", Iruka sorrowfully prayed, whilst inwardly anticipating the worst, "I... I never told him how... how sorry I was. Please... don't let him die..."
The pony-tailed Chuunin's prayers were interuppted by the comforting hand of the Sandaime Hokage; looking a little down hearted himself.
"Iruka... I heard what had transpired this day... How bad is it?", Sarutobi asked.
Iruka stared sadly at the floor, "They... They haven't said anything yet... They still need to stablize him", he said simply.
The aged Professor showed only the slightest bit of grimace in his face before taking a seat next to Iruka, "I see... Well, the fact that Naruto had survived such a trial in the first place, must mean that he is not done fighting yet. It takes the heart of a true champion to live through Hell like that. You should be proud of him for staying alive...", he said in an attempt to comfort the scared man.
Iruka's gaze adored the floor for a moment longer before he actually managed to crack a genuine, "Yes... I am", he admitted.

Meanwhile in the Infirmary...
Two of the Hospitals best Med Nin had been working tirelessly to stablize Naruto. Well... one of them was... the other was peering into a blood sample taken from the boy through a microscope. Finally, after hours of torturous work, Naruto was finally stablized and breathing normally. The Med responsible for finishing the last of that job was positively overwelmed with exsasperation; wiping numerous beads of sweat from his brow as he breathed a sigh of releif.
"Damn... That was tedious", he said, before he heard a gasp from his Medic partner, "What? What is it?"
His partner had been stting at a desk; studying a sample Naruto's blood to see if everything was in place, only to see things that just didn't make any God damn sense.
"Come and take a look at this", the other Med said.
Doing as he was told, the Med who stablized Naruto loomed over the microscope to take a gander at what his partner was trippin on about.
"The Hell? Why have his blood cells changed? Three pronges? That doesn't make sense"
"Well, neither does the fact that we were actually able to safe this boy. After being fried by a lightening bolt... phew, someone up there must really like him if he survived something like that..."
As the Med continued his inspection with the blood cells, something that was just plain weird happened. As the blood cells morphed and molded the Med was eagerly awaiting what scientific discovery he would uncover. He grew excited just thinking about the possibilities, but quickly banished those thoughts and put his job ahead of all else. Upon closer inspection, the blood cells turned completely yellow and seemed rather spiky.
"What the..."
Adjusting the scope to see if he wasn't hallucinating, the Med took a closer look as the cells suddenly flipped over; reveiling the smiling faces of hundreds of Naruto's!
"GAAH!"
The other Med turned around to see what startled his partner, "What?! What happened?!", he exclaimed before rushing to the scene.
The Med on the telescope rose from his seat and massaged his temple, "I think I'm working too hard..."
"What in the fuck? No, no, I see them too. What in the Hell is goin-... Good God, they're Hop-scotch!", he shouted
"What?!?!"
Before both Med's could further study this anomoly, they heard a quickening beeping sound that never meant anything good. They both whipped their attention to the sleeping Naruto, only to see the boy in question shoot up into a sitting position.
"Note: In quantum mechanics, the complex square of wave-fuction is interpreted as the probable density and is associated with the portion's position!", Naruto blurted out at an incredible speed before his eye and face began to twitch wildly.
The Med Nin just stood there... looking VERY stupified as to what the fuck just happened, "... umm... Sure?"
After only milliseconds, Naruto collapsed back on the bed with a smile on his face... sound asleep. The Meds looked at teh boy with question, before checking his vitals one last time.
-
Back in the waiting room, Iruka and Sarutobi continued the nearly torturous wait. All was silent for a time; allowing both Nin to sort their thoughts out. Of course, this was cut short when a young female voice called from behind them.
"Um... I-Iruka-sensei...?", she called out.
Recognizing the voice almost immediately, Iruka turned around in his chair and saw the petite form of Hinata Hyuuga; going about her usual habit of pessing her index fingers. As usual, she looked nervous and shy, but what also stood out, was that the white of her eyes were reddened and she was wet. It was obvious that she had been running to the Hospital through the storm.
"Hinata? What are you doing here? Why aren't you at home?", Iruka questioned.
"I... I came to see... Naruto-kun...", she said with much worry, "Is... I-Is he..."
Damn... even she heard Naruto roars... and appearantly she was informed of what had happened here.
Before Iruka could mention anything of it, the emergency light of the Infirmary shut off; signifying the results of Naruto's treatment. Iruka rose from his seat; eagerly awaiting the stretcher that held his blonde student. The tension built up within all of them, even Sarutobi, as they waited to see what had become of the boy. Though they had every reason to fear the worst, they prayed for the best.
Finally... The moment of truth.
The double doors opened... and a stretcher rolled out into the open. One of the Medics pushed the stretcher while the other walked along side it; holding a clip-board. Once the stretcher was fully out in the open, it reveiled the peacfully sleeping form of Naruto. Hinata nearly fainted from the releif as the tension left her, but she was also eager to hear the results.
"Well...?", Iruka impatiently asked.
The Med with the clip board smiled, "You... are NOT going to beleive this, but Naruto has made a full recovery", he said.
Everyone was blown away with pure shock and utter disbeleif at this info. A full recovery? The guy was hit by a FUCKING lightening bolt! It shouldn't be possible. But of course, the possiblity that the Demon Fox within Naruto was responsible could've justified those means, so Sarutobi and Iruka let it go and excepted the releif of Naruto's survival. Hinata, on the other hand was inwardly jumping for absolute joy, but outwardly smiled with content as she stared at Naruto's sleeping form.
"How can that be?", the aged voice of Sarutobi asked; gaining everybody's attention, "Two and a half hours after a near-fatal lightening strike and he made full recovery?"
"H-Hai, Hokage-sama. All he needs now, is a little rest and he should be back on his feet in no ti-"
"DISNEY SUCKS!!! Shonen Jump RULES!!!!!", the sleeping form of Naruto blurted out with one fist erected in the air.
Everyone jerked their heads to Naruto with stupified and weary expressions on their faces, only to see the boy's fist plummet back where it was, before he began snoring peacfully.
"Umm... yes, well-"
Naruto: Cheese CAKE!!!"
"... ... Um-"
Naruto: LEMONS!!!!!!!!!!"
"... ... ... I-"
Naruto: DATTEBAYO!!!!!!
Everyone stared at the still sleeping Naruto for five minutes; awaiting another outburst. When nothing was heard, the Med Nin contined the conversation.
"Yes... Well, the boy was in horrendous shape when you brought him here. First degree burns all over his body, a raptured and shocked spinal cord; rendering paralysis from the neck down, and severe trauma to the heart and brain. Yet here he is; fully recovered and sleeping like a baby... ... a very spastic and unpredictable baby, but..."
Hm... with the looks on everyone's faces you'd think they didn't hear a damn word that was said, but in truth, everything had sunk in... but it STILL didn't add up.
Saurtobi stared at the blonde boy again, "... It... It doesn't make sense. Whether the Kyuubi inside of him can generate healing prowess or not... this shouldn't have happened. No one could have made such a miraclulous recover in such a miniscule amount of time...", he thought with great uncertainty.
Iruka was sharing similar thoughts, but was greatly releived for the most part, "Damn... The kid must be somethin' else if he survived something like this. But... still the whole recovery deal doesn't add up. Somethin' on the wire here and somethin' tells me I'm gonna find out what it is sooner or later", he thought with a subconscious smile on his face.
Hinata... Well she blushed, "Naruto-kun... I swear, its like you're being watched by an angel...", she thought as she gazed upon the peaceful form.

MEANWHILE, IN THE REALM OF THE GODS
The black robed God who took responsibility in watching the Pool of Visions smiled intently at the sight he beheld. In the Mortal world, Naruto was up and at 'em again, but it was different. He wasn't angry, but he was definately down-hearted. He had failed his final exams... again. At this rate, it was likely that he would never become a ninja. However, this black garbed God had other plans... now that his hunches have been confirmed.
"Mmmmhmhmhmhmhm-yeeeeees... He has the gift, indeed... Hmm... Naruto Uzumaki, huh? An unlikely canidate, to be sure, but as it stands, he was able to survive the Passage of Chaos. Yeeees... Maybe he will be the one... to do what I, myself, cannot", the dark God murmered to himself, before remembering something important, "Hm? Ahhhh... thats right. The boy has failed again. He'll most likey not see another exam for another year... but if it is to be, than he should grow accumstomed to his... new atributes as he grows..."
Upon watching Naruto nearly an hour further, he saw something that piqued his Chaosity- I mean, er... curiousity, "Wha-...? What's he doing? I can see intent in his eyes... what could that mean?", he questioned as he continued to watch.
THAT IS of course, until the skys became ravaged by sudden bursts of lightening and thunder. The hooded deity lowered his head in dreaded realization.
"Oh, Gods... I FORGOT!!!", he griped, "Why do they invite him?!"
As if responsive to his word, a GIANT lightening bolt struck upon the ground a few feet away from the the black clad God; reveiling a large burley man with Norris attire.
"I AM THOR; GOD OF THUNDER!", he bellowed has he rested his humongous warhammer upon his shoulder, "I AM HERE... FOR THE POKER TOURNEMENT!!!"
"Yes yes, I who you are, Thor. The others are in the temple..."
"AHH... MUCH ABLIGED, FUKYOUWAON! ONWARD TO VICTORY AND TWELVE PACKS OF CORONA!!!!!!", Thor bellowed again before marching towards the entrance of the Temple behind Fukyouwaon.
The Dark God sighed before turning his attention back down to the Pool of Visions only to see the forms of Iruka and Naruto being attacked by the same white haired Chuunin that approached the blonde boy and told him about the Scroll of Sealing.
"Whoa... Looks like I missed out on alot... Better slow things up a bit", Fukyouwaon said before snapping his fingers.
In reaction to this, everything in the Pool of visions stopped... before back-tracking to earlier events. Fukyouwaon got pissed and kicked the rim of the Pool.
"NO! Not rewind, you peice o' shit!!", he screamed, "Damn... I swear we need to buy another one of these..."

Within the Temple of the Gods...
Zeus, Ganesh and Jesus where intently fixated upon there cards as they the heated Poker Match of the Gods raged on. The trio of deity shifted occasional glance to each other. After a heated stand off, Jesus layed down his hand.
"Read 'em and weep, boys!", he said as he layed down the one hand that no one can beat.
Ganesh and Zeus frowned deeply before laying their hands down in defeat, afterwhich, Jesus lounged forward and swiped all of the Poker Chips at the center of the table.
"Why de Hell do you keep winning?", Ganesh said in a STRONG Hindu acsent, "It doesn't make sense... Are you cheating again you rotten bastard?"
Jesus raised and eyebrow, "Oh spare me. 'Thou shalt not bare false witness", remember?", he remarked.
Zeus leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, "I noticed that you say that EVERYTIME you win... ... ... I think you're full of it, Jesus... Esspecially because of the fact that you just screwed up", he accused.
The Holy Spirit scoffed, "You can prove nothing", he said; crossing his arms and lifting his head in the air.
"There are only four Aces in a deck of cards... you laid five...", Zeus mentioned, with a knowing frown.
Jesus' arms lowered as his face grew blank.
"I KNEW IT! You cheating BASTARD! What de Hell is wrong you?! You call yourself a noble Holy Spirit when you can't even follow your own damn Commenments?!?!", Ganesh barked.
Jesus opened his mouth to retort, when all of the sudden, the double-doors to the room were shattered open reveiling a familiar Norris God.
"GREETINGS FELLOW GODS!!! I, THOR, GOD OF THUNDER, HAVE ARRIIIIIIIVED!!!!! AND NOW... WE DO POKER!!!!!!!!!!", Thor roared before opening the side of his warhammer, puuling out a twelve pack of beer and closed his weapon, "I'VE GOT THE CORONA!!!!!!"
Zeus sighed and closed his eyes, "Thor just shut the Hell up, get over here and cut the cards", he said.
Blinking twice, Thor walked over to the table while dragging his massive hammer. Taking his seat among the other Gods, Thor slipped on a Poker cap with the words Thor soed into them and held his hand out.
"CARDS!", he said with his natural godly demeanor that he could not seem to calm down.
Jesus handed him the cards and he started pulling all of this crazy, fancy and damn-near impossible card menuvers; flipping, sliding, strafing and shuffling them with pure and unhindered ease. Once he finished, Thor set the cards down in a perfectly centered deck before shooting up from his seat; sending the chair flying out of the picture. He then lifted his mighty Hammer into the air and released a thundering war-cry.
"NO, THOR! NOOOO!!!!!!!", the oth Gods hollered in unison.
-
Fukyouwaon was drinking in the gorious and yet highly unlikely seen of what he beheld within the Pool of Visions.
"Ahhhh... How glorious. It would appear that young Naruto will be getting his chance to be a shinobi afterall...
CRAAAAASSSSSHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"... ... ... The bad news is that my fellow Gods are complete dunder-heads..."
Jesus: Dad DAMMIT! WHY DO WE INVITE HIM?!?!?!?
And THAT'S THAT! I hope that this very well entertained all of you in the best possible way. And if you thought that this was good, than I can only say this... YOU AIN'T SEE SHIT!!!!!!!
Peace...
