(Chapter 2)

I watched Hiruzen Sarutobi for a moment, still shocked to see him, but the steely gaze of Ibiki Morino made me nervous. Did the guy ever blink? It didn't seem like it.

This was insane! I had to be hallucinating; there was no explanation than that. But…I dropped my head, allowing my newly acquired bangs to fall over my eyes as I shot glances around the room. I don't see my tell that always bring me back from my hallucination. A tell in my drug induced delusions work that same way as they would in a person.

There was always something out of place.

For me certain objects and spaces around an area would distort but return to their original state.

And yet, I didn't see my tell.

"Satoshi." A raspy yet deep voice interrupted my search. I turned my head and stared into the grey eyes of The Hokage. "How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Uh…honestly? Confused." I answered; I felt my left eyebrow twitch in irritation at my high voice but brushed it off. "I don't understand what happened." I was keeping my questions vague because if I was hallucinating, I didn't want my doctors to know too much.

There was a flash of something in his eyes but it was gone before I could register what it was. "Do you remember anything?" he asked.

"No."

The Hokage shot an indescribable look to Ibiki, who nodded and left the room, before turning back to me. "Satoshi, can you tell me what you do remember before being brought here?" he asked placing a hand on my shoulder.

I fought the urge to shake it off and nodded. "I woke up in pain, my ribs were hurting and it was hard for me to move because my body ached but I managed to get downstairs and I saw two corpses on the floor, everything after that is a mystery."

"You don't remember who those corpses were?" I shook my head. Sarutobi sat back, dropping his hand from my shoulder, and closed his eyes. For a moment I thought he would pull out his pipe but he didn't and opened them. "Satoshi, those corpses were your parents." He said bluntly.

I blinked, shocked. They were his, my…parents? I thought.

The Hokage was quiet, probably wanted me to absorb the information, before he continued. "Almost four days ago your clan was massacred by one of your own." He stated. Wait, why the hell was this starting to sound familiar. "Itachi Uchiha committed this tragedy against your clan." He finished.

My jaw dropped. The room spun and I felt like throwing up. My belief that this was nothing but a hallucination was weakening and I don't know why. None of my previous hallucinations were ever this bad and I still don't remember getting in my uncle's drugs again. What's going on? Can this really be real? Am I really in the Naruto universe? Wait; am I really in the body of an Uchiha child?

I stared at The Hokage's mouth as he continued to talk but all I could see was his lips moving but no words were coming out.

I felt my eyes tear up, what about my uncle? The only person who gave a damn about me to raise me. Despite selling drugs around me, he did his best to raise me and keep a roof over my head. He had no one else but me and vice versa.

My hearing seemed to come back and I heard the sound of the chairs feet scraping against the ground. "I want to let him absorb this information so I'm going to go get his doctor and then head back to my office, I want one of you to stay here and watch over him."

"Yes, Lord Hokage, I volunteer." I heard one say.

"So be it but leave him to himself for now."

I heard the door open and then close. I peaked from under my bangs and saw that I was alone.

I layed back in the bed and stared up at the ceiling. I didn't know what to think or do at this point. I'm in the body of a Uchiha boy…did that mean that he survived because of me? Sasuke was the only Uchiha other than Obito and Itachi but now there's me.

Am I really accepting the fact that I'm in the Naruto world? This is so twisted!

I couldn't lay here anymore. I sat up and threw the sheets from over my legs before jumping out of the bed, ignoring the stabbing pain in my side. I was about to head towards the bed before I remembered that there was an ANBU ninja outside my door.

I turned towards the window, fortunately I was on the first floor, and slid it open. I placed my right foot on it first before standing on the ceil and slowly climbing down on the side.

I was barefoot but I didn't care, I never liked hospitals in my last world and I don't them now. And, the most important thing, the food was horrible! Yuck!

As soon as my feet touched the cool grass, I jogged away from the window and down the street. I didn't know where I was heading but I did know that I wasn't going back to the hospital; I needed time to think more.

I wonder if I could find the Ichiraku's Ramen stand.

My mouth watered and my stomach growled a little. I snorted. I just found out that an entire clan was killed off and that I'm in a different universe and all I can think about it my stomach. I shook my head, chuckling. "That's so me." I muttered amused.

After fifteen minutes and turning another corner, I frowned when I saw nothing but a children's park. I glared at it as if it was the blame for all my problems. I still haven't found a place to eat and I'm starving.

"Hey, look, there goes forehead girl!" I raised a brow and turned my head to see three girls chasing after another, two out of four of these girls had peculiar hair colors. The smaller one had pink while the other had purple.

My heart skipped a little in excitement. That was Sakura Haruno. The tremendous bitch at the beginning of the series to badass Sannin medical ninja at the end. I tilted my head frowning when I saw that the three girls chasing her, I couldn't remember their names, were throwing rocks at her.

Oh god. I groaned internally as I looked upwards. Why me? Now I have to put on my cape and be captain save a hoe. Did I really care about Sakura being bullied? Not really. But did I care enough to step in? A little.

I pulled on my imaginary cape and took off after them, wincing when I stepped on some pebbles but sighed when I reached the grass again. I followed them all the way towards the swing set at the bottom of the hill. They had Sakura cornered against the wooden gate.

I stopped and studied them; my attention was immediately drawn towards the red ribbon in Sakura's hair, holding back her hair.

I thought by this time she had gotten the confidence to stand up to Ami, I finally remember, but I guess not. But it tells me that she already made friends with Ino.

Ami reared her hand back with a larger than normal rock and was ready to throw it. I acted quickly and caught her by the wrist. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" I demanded in a sigh.

The purple haired girl spun around to face me and glared. "What do you wanti?" she demanded angrily.

She knew me. thought with a blink, I wonder if more of them would know me. Filing away that information for later, I shook her wrist pointedly. "Drop the rock and leave." I ordered.

"Get lost!" she snapped.

"I am lost!" I snapped back before squeezing her wrist tightly. She gasped in pain and dropped the rock. I tugged on her and pulled her away from Sakura while her two little followers gang up behind her. I stepped in front of Sakura, who was crouching down with her arms covering her head. "Are you all right?" I asked looking over my shoulder.

She looked up at me surprised and in awe. I fought the urge to roll my eyes, I didn't do anything impressive. Anyone could have done it.

I turned my attention back to Ami and her friends, they were glaring at me. "Why don't you mind your own business? You little freak, you'll never be a real ninja!" she yelled as if that was supposed to offend me.

Which it did. I narrowed my eyes at her. "Watch it." I warned. "And leave now." I ordered.

Ami opened her mouth to say something when one of her followers tugged on her shoulder and pointed to the right of us. Both of the other girl turned and seemed to tense in fear.

I also followed where they were looking and saw my doctor, Sayuri, walking toward us with an ANBU follow after her. Oops, they found out I snuck out. Her face twisted in rage while her grey eyes resembled the darkened grey clouds of a storm. "Just what is going on here?" she demanded stopping once she was close enough.

I couldn't help but notice how the ANBU ninja was standing back awkwardly. I wonder if he got in trouble once Sayuri returned and saw I was gone. I wonder how I was able to sneak away without him noticing.

"Well?" Sayuri insisted and then I realized that her eyes were on me.

Oh. "Well, these girls were…" I trailed off when the girls started to scream and cry before running away. "Never mind." I shrugged.

Sayuri looked like she wanted to snatch me up by my neck and shake me relentlessly. "Listen here young man, you will not sneak out of your hospital room again! You could have reopened your wounds! Your ribs aren't fully healed! And your barefoot like the common hoodlum!" she ranted.

Ugh, she sounds like the mothers of my classmates back home. I complained in my head. Not because I was afraid of the woman in front of me but because it seemed smarter than making her mad, not because I was scared.

"Do you understand?"

"I'm injured, not deaf." I couldn't help but say.

Sayuri narrowed her eyes before turning to Sakura, who was watching the two of us warily. "Young lady I want you to go find your parents, am I understood?" she asked sternly.

"Yes, ma'am." Sakura muttered standing from the ground and running past us, not without glancing over her shoulder at me once. I gave an awkward wave as she turned a corner.

I turned back to Sayuri, who turned to the ANBU ninja with a rat mask, and pointed at him. "I can't believe you lost the child! What kind of ANBU agent are you? What? Are they just letting anyone join the ANBU? I mean, honestly! The child doesn't even know how to conceal his chakra signature and he was able to sneak away from you! I have half a mind…"

I stop listening as she ranted and the poor ANBU ninja took it, though his body was tense like he was expecting for her to attack. Though I'm pretty sure that's what she wants to do. I thought eyeing her as she shook her fists wildly.

"Um, my feet hurt." I whined, interrupting the lecture and earning both their attention. "And if you're going to drag me back to that godforsaken hospital, can we please stop by somewhere else to get something to eat?" I begged.

Sayuri raised a brow at me before sighing and placing the back of her hand against her forehead. "Fine." She turned to the ANBU agent. "Carry the child." She ordered.

A smirk spread across my face as the ANBU didn't even put up a argument and kneeled down. I ran toward him and hopped on his back, and either he didn't expect me to jump on him or expect me to weight as much as I did but he almost fell over, good thing he caught himself though. I'm pretty sure Sayuri would tear his head off if I got hurt, whether it was my fault or not.

"Good, we'll go pick up some food from the BBQGrill Shack." She said walking ahead.

I wrapped my arms around Rat's neck and legs around his waist while he followed after her.

I studied her from behind. Sayuri didn't look older than twenty five years old and didn't look like she was as fiery as she displayed earlier. I thought she was one of those nurses with a sweet deposition but I was entirely wrong. First, she was a doctor and second, she seemed to be a real ballbuster.

I like her.

As I continue to study her, I thought of something Ami said to me early. Sasuke. "Ms. Sayuri." I called, she turned to me. "Is…did anyone else from my clan survive?" I asked carefully. The Hokage hadn't mentioned Sasuke before and it would be weird to Rat, who was present during the Hokage's reveal to me, if I pointedly asked about him specifically.

She seemed to hesitate as if she wasn't sure I was allowed to know but Rat answered for her. "Yes, Sasuke Uchiha survived the…attack." That wasn't what he wanted to say. "But he's still in the hospital recovering, he isn't healing as fast as you."

I frowned. Considering that Itachi used the Tsukuyomi on him to show Sasuke how he had killed their family and clan I'm not shocked. When Itachi used it on him during their next encounter it took Tsunade healing him to wake him up but that was worse than the first time.

"All right, so what's going to happen now?" I questioned. "Our clan is dead but we're still here."

"That's the Hokage's call, Itachi left Sasuke alive and you survived the attack." I blinked at the statement while Rat turned a corner and Sayuri followed. "He allowed his brother to survive for some reason but he attacked you with the intent on ending your life yet you're still here."

"Stop it!" Sayuri ordered. "He's a child, he shouldn't hear this."

"He's a child that's in the academy and has seen death, I think hearing a little more won't affect him much." Rat defended himself and I had to agree with him, even though I don't remember Itachi's attack on me.

"That doesn't mean he needs to relive the trauma." She turned to me, her grey eyes softened in contrast to earlier when she found me. "Do-do you have any questions about your-your parents?" she asked.

I flinched a little, I had forgotten that I was supposed to be in some kind of depression over losing my family. I turned my head away from her and chewed my bottom lip before releasing it. "I don't want to talk about it." I muttered.

"Sure, all right." The rest of the walk was quiet.

I'm still confused as to what I should do at this point. Should I do anything? I placed my forehead on Rat's shoulder and sighed, I suddenly felt tired.

What ever I did at this point was still in question but I do know that if I wanted to do anything I would have to go to the academy. Ugh, more school.

Hey everyone! I'm glad with the responses I got from the first chapter and I want you all to know that I appreciate your support.

What do you think of this chapter? We got to know more about Satoshi UCHIHA. He met with one of the main characters after sneaking out and he's starting to accept what's happening to him, the only question is. What's next?
