Naruto: A New Beginning
Chapter 11
(Date: June 29, 2552. Location: Epsilon Eridani System, Planet Reach)
(Reach Surface Location: Montez Military Training Academy, Military Reservation 01478-B)
"Hmmm, this is a pretty interesting batch of candidates . . . wouldn't you agree Dr. Beller?" A middle aged woman with short black hair reaching past her ears and sharp brown eyes complete with a white lab coat and a PDA in her left hand with a stylus on the right. The PDA was slowly and automatically scrolling through statistical evidence of the recent batch of enlistees.
"There's no need to dress down this matter as pretty interesting Dr. Fracasso, you and I along with our assistants saw that boy defying human physiology." Another middle aged man with greying sideburns and military style cut black hair retorted while checking his own analysis on a standing computer monitor.
"True, more like incredible, or astounding, how about flabbergasting . . . is that a decent adjective to describe the feeling of seeing this boy exceed expectations. Goodness he's so young that one, yet it was like watching a Spartan breeze through a dangerous obstacle course . . . only without the augmentations." Dr. Fracasso said while looking up from her PDA. She then looked towards Dr. Beller and walked up to him while looking at his computer monitor screen.
"Dr. Beller, do you mind bringing up the boy's physical evaluation video. I would like to see him in action again." Dr. Fracasso said this with a small smile. Dr. Beller could only smirk.
"I was honestly going to see it again myself, just so I could confirm I'm not going senile." The male Doctor replayed Naruto's physical evaluation recording again and both doctors couldn't help but stare dumbfounded as the Naruto's athletic prowess and his ability to seemingly sense danger.
"This is simply unprecedented in the fully cataloged human genome." Dr. Beller commented as he watched Naruto sprint faster than any other of the enlistees and breeze past every single danger zone in unorthodox and almost physically impossible aerial maneuvers. He jumped over electric fences with ease instead of crawling under them, he ran on top of the monkey bars instead of swinging how most people would, when the wobbly net climb came about he jumped a quarter of the distance and pushed himself vertically using the nets wobbly structure to create forward momentum to jump and grab a couple of more times to make it to the top, lastly he simply jumped off the structure and landed in the slightly mud turned ground while spreading his weight upon his landing with his arms and legs. The boy broke the previous record of the enlistees and the trainees by a landslide. The previous record was one minute and thirty five seconds. This boy named Naruto completed it in thirty seven seconds.
"I can watch this video hundreds more times and my emotion of utter surprise and disbelief will not cease." Dr. Fracasso said with the same wide eyed expression she started the video with all the way through to its ending.
"If you think that's astounding I think the analytical data speaks even more." Dr. Fracasso looked at Dr. Beller conveying the need to know through a hard stare. "Judging by what my assistant has collected from all enlistees, this Naruto fellow felt no fatigue on the endurance run on the treadmill, could lift an average of 250 lbs. regardless of his physical frame, and has an average rate of zero point two three three five millisecond reaction time in un-stressful situations, remarkably we couldn't calculate his reaction time in stressful conditions." Dr. Beller informed Dr. Fracasso.
"That truly is astounding." She said after taking her hand off her mouth from the surprise she felt from the Dr. Beller's recount. Between the two Doctors, Dr. Beller is the expert in human physiology while Dr. Fracasso's studies were aimed at the human mind, psychology.
"Judging by his physical evaluation I'm expecting all sorts of surprises from you're analysis Dr. Fracasso." Dr. Beller looked at her expectantly.
"Well the only issue with what you're implying is, he has a pretty average teenage mind give or take a few key notes." Dr. Beller looked disappointed at this. "Besides his superhuman reflexive tendency another key note was how strong his emotions are on certain subjects, I've never seen anyone who has ever felt so strongly attached to their beliefs and morals, it's very endearing and he is a very compassionate human being. It makes me feel good knowing that people like him still exist in this universe." Dr. Fracasso said with a strange motherly smile on her face as she clasped both her hands together and looked up at the ceiling in wonderment.
"You may be getting a little emotional on this enlistee Doctor; I find it odd when you get like this particularly with the young trainees you treat with emotional distress from the training and the harsh treatment that accompanies it." Dr. Fracasso averted hew wondrous gaze from the ceiling to Dr. Beller.
"Well, I was once a mother too you know." Dr. Beller widened his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up any upsetting memories." Dr. Fracasso looked at Dr. Beller with a soft gaze and a small warm smile.
"You don't have to apologize Doctor, besides he chose to join the Marines and he also made me promise that if anything happened to him I will have to keep moving forward for the sake of humanity. I couldn't stop him as he left with the very same determined expression his father wore when he left me as well." Dr. Beller sighed and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, hoping the physical distraction will snap her out of her memorable reverie.
"We must continue working then, if it's what your son would have wanted." Dr. Beller said in hopes of also giving her the boost she needed right now, in all his time working with her he has never seen her in such a state, so as her partner he felt an obligation to help give her a pillar of support.
"Thank you Dr. Beller, if you don't mind can you continue evaluating the rest of the enlistees while I go and meet this Naruto fellow." Dr. Beller smirked at her.
"Go on ahead, I can only imagine how interested you must be at the boy's emotional level." Dr. Beller told her with a small smile of his own.
"Thank you." Dr. Fracasso said sincerely. "I promise not to take too long." With that she left the office and traveled down the fluorescent lighted corridor towards an elevator that took her down a couple of floors. The elevator then stopped on ground level and she exited the elevator while making short but swift strides towards the exit of the processing and data collection center located next to the main building of the Montez Military Academy.
When she exited she noticed that sunlight was still filtering high above the sky and through the thin amount of cirrus clouds that shaded the multi-colored sky.
After this brief pause she made her way towards a black colored barrack where the enlistees were waiting for the results of their evaluations.
Just when she was a couple of feet away from the entrance a large hulking body fell through the flaps signifying the entrance, the body fell quite fast and landed Peter-Griffin style complete with disembodied arm behind the back and twitching muscles on varied locations.
Her surprise subsided when she then heard a young and gruff/scratchy voice coming from inside the barrack.
"That'll teach yah to mess with Naruto Uzumaki you walking cesspool o'garbage." She then heard footsteps retreating from the entrance and finally decided to walk the remaining distance.
She had to hold her breath as she accidently figured out why Naruto had called this man that degrading name, seems it was more of a fact. She stepped over the unconscious body and walked inside the barrack full of enlistees.
All talks of praise and acknowledgement ceased when the middle-aged psychologist made her presence known. She looked across the room analyzing the rooms occupants when her eyes finally settled on the standing form of one, Naruto Uzumaki, and sitting next to him was a large golden retriever and another blond albeit female and lighter in color sitting on the lower level of the bunk bed.
"Hmmm, Naruto . . . Uzumaki, huh." Dr. Fracasso's eyes ignited with a strange glow. "You know it is quite odd to hear a Japanese name and then see it on one such as yourself." Naruto looked at her with a confused expression. "I would like to speak to you in private Naruto, if you would just come with me." Naruto looked at Camilla and she nodded saying it was okay.
"Alright, but why me?" Naruto said as he walked towards the Doctor.
"Like I said, away from prying ears." Naruto simply nodded albeit hesitantly.
Eventually both Naruto and the Dr. Fracasso left the barrack simultaneously with Naruto uncaringly stepping on the still unconscious and nicknamed Mr. Smelly. It was quite funny what Naruto's thought process was when he stepped on the walking hunk of garbage. Naruto was reminded of a squeaky toy when he stepped on the man because the smelly guy exhaled a whiny breath of air when Naruto stepped on his tender stomach.
He continued walking along side Dr. Fracasso with a small amused smirk. The Doctor was also looking at him amusedly.
Eventually when they were both a distance away from the barrack the Doctor stopped and sat on a resting seat that was located at the end of the running track that was in front of the Military Academy, Naruto soon followed suit assuming that's what she wanted.
"Another thing that I chose to avoid saying in front of your peer's is that your name roughly translates to Fishcake Maelstrom or Maelstrom Whirlwind, there were a couple of definitions but your name was commonly referred to as what I just mentioned." She smiled upon noticing Naruto's embarrassed blush.
" Heh, well my godfather did tell me my mom and dad loved Japanese noodles but supposedly that's not where I got my name from." Naruto said while scratching the back of his head sheepishly but with an earnest smile. "And thanks for not embarrassing me in front of everyone, otherwise fishcake would have been my new name for life." Naruto said with an appreciative smiling visage.
"It's of no consequence Naruto, but I would like to know where your name originates if that's okay?" Dr. Fracasso asked.
"Sure, my godfather told me that my parents got my first name from one of his books and I kept my mother's last name since both of my parents passed away. My full name would be Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Naruto informed honestly.
"I'm sorry about your parents Naruto, I hope it's not too sore of a subject to bring up." Dr. Fracasso said honestly.
"No, it's fine. Really." Naruto said with a small smile.
"That's good to hear . . . although I'm glad you're being open with me I have to honestly say I came here to ask you questions regarding a different matter. Your performance evaluation to be precise." Dr. Fracasso said honestly.
"Oh thank goodness." Naruto said while exhaling a sigh simultaneously. "I thought I was in trouble or something, I mean I did bash that guy's head in pretty good but he started." That's true, but it is a different story for a different time.
"No you don't have to worry about that man, on a side note he failed his mental evaluation. All he had going for him was brawn but no brains, and the fact that because of his immense brute like size we wouldn't even be able to cram him in a SOEIV, and to top it all off even if we were able to he would have a greater chance of death were he to become an ODST. Two reasons accompany this conclusion, his size is not fit for recon and intelligence gathering missions and his temper would have interfered with every mission assigned to a team he would have been put in." Dr. Fracasso de-classified for Naruto's education.
"I knew he wasn't gonna pass, I thought the smell alone was enough of an indicator, heh." Naruto chuckled briefly while rubbing the bottom of his nose with his index finger.
"Regardless of all that I will be going straight to the point, where did you learn how to move like that, and what sort of training regimen did you utilize that the Drill Sergeant informed me of." She asked calmly.
Naruto simply smiled.
"Hah! I guess he told you to keep an eye on me huh." Naruto said rhetorically. "Well pass this along to him will ya, I've been training and honing my body ever since I was five years old, I started with the regular push-ups and sit ups and gradually up to the age of seven I was doing hand-stand push-ups and hanging upside from a tree branch doing sit-ups. A year later after that I was training myself in endurance, I would run as fast as I can and as long as I can until I had to stop and rest, and when I did I just continued to do some more afterwards." Dr. Fracasso was looking at him wide eyed during his fake breakdown of his training regimen.
"Soon when I hit twelve I would hang rocks on different parts of my body and ran with those on while also doing my routine exercises. I never stopped until I reached 14 and my body was almost as tough as the rocks I was wearing, you see when I ran they would painfully impact my body multiple times but then I got used to it and I guess my body started adapting to it." Naruto plastered on a sad smile that actually conveyed real emotion towards what he was going to say next. "Finally after being alone for so long my godfather decided to take an interest in me and trained me in martial arts and weapons use, he also showed me ways to strengthen my body even more and although I appreciated it I couldn't help but feel angry at him for ignoring me for so long when I could have had somebody with me instead of feeling alone the first fourteen years of my life." Naruto finished truly holding back tears that always threatened to fall when he recalled memories of his past.
"I'm . . . sorry to hear all of that Naruto, it seems you have endured a lot by yourself. I can't possibly begin to understand the events that transpired for you to lead a life like that but for what it's worth, I'm sorry." Naruto suddenly looked at her with a stern gaze.
"Don't feel sorry for me, I dislike pity. It's something I don't want or need, what you need to understand is that all that pain and suffering I endured is what molded me into who I am today, and I'm proud of who I am." Naruto said with a burning fire of confidence. More like the Will of Fire that Hiruzen Sarutobi believed in so much.
"That's good to hear, you are a very emotionally strong and capable young man. My advice to you is to always be the person you are now and never lose sight of yourself or your desired future." That's advice everyone should take earnestly to heart.
"Thank you, and I will. Because if there's one thing that's always gonna be a part of me is the will to never give up no matter the situation, I will always find a way." Naruto ended it with a determined shine in his eyes and a friendly grin.
"One more thing Naruto, where do you come from if you think you can tell me?" Right there Naruto's grin turned into a full blown Cheshire cat grin that stretched his face and oddly reminded you of a mischievous fox.
"You really wanna know where I come from?" Naruto asked with the grin still in place.
"Ummm. Yes of course since you seem to know." She said only slightly hesitant because of his smile.
"Well I come from a Super Secret Hidden Village full of ninja's that the UNSC can never hope to find. . . . . . . . . . ." Naruto said with grin still in place, honestly that grin was still there because it was helping him hold back his laughter.
Dr. Fracasso looked at him wide eyed and then she sighed and wiped her face with her hand.
"Good one Naruto, is that what you tell everyone else." Naruto simply nodded while the doctor chose to believe he was joking and didn't really know his place of origin since he was an orphan. "Well it was nice talking to you Naruto but I have to return to my laboratory and assist my partner in evaluating the rest of the enlistees, you are a very interesting individual and I hope we can have another conversation soon. For now this is goodbye." She waved and immediately started walking away after Naruto also said his own pleasantries.
'She was nice.' Naruto thought idly as he slowly made his way back with his hands in his light brown cargo khaki's pockets.
"Naruto." Kurama's voice suddenly resounded within Naruto's head. Naruto stopped momentarily but then decided to continue walking but at a much more sedated pace.
'What's up Kurama, haven't heard from you for bit.' Naruto thought back.
"I just wanted to comment on your capacity to adapt, if you hadn't followed my instruction I'm sure scientists would have been picking through your body for their research. Regardless of that it's best you continue to hold back your true physical prowess until absolutely necessary." Kurama said in his normal gravely serious tone of voice.
'Yea, I knew that. You don't have to tell me twice.' Naruto commented with a physical smirk.
"I still think you may have overdone it in the obstacle course, why do you think that doctor came to you personally. They have taken an interest in your physical ability Naruto; I am simply reminding you to be careful for both our sakes." Within the seal Kurama was talking to Naruto while he was in a semi-meditating position, instead of both paws being relaxed in his center they were tensely on his knees.
'Understood Kurama, thanks.' Naruto heard Kurama release a breath of air that sounded strangely like a Humph, and with that Naruto didn't hear from Kurama again.
When the conversation ended Naruto returned to his normal walking speed and re-entered the barracks again while idly noticing that someone had picked up the garbage that littered the entrance of the barrack.
The first one to notice his return was Chaser who looked immediately at the direction Naruto had entered from and barked in his medium sounding barking voice. With that he alerted Camilla and a number of other people to his presence. Eventually they turned around to continue whatever they were doing but Camilla and Chaser seemed happy enough to see him.
It only took a moment for him to arrive to their pre-arranged waiting area.
"Hey Naruto, what did that doctor lady talk to you about?" Camilla asked pleasantly.
"Heh, apparently she and the rest of her team were curious as to how I got so strong when I don't even physically express that strength with my physique." Camilla looked at him curiously.
"Did you tell them the truth?" Naruto nodded.
"In fact not only did I explain some of my training regimen, I outright told her I'm from a secret hidden village of ninja's and she appeared to have brushed it off as a joke on my part." Naruto said with a smirk.
"That's good, I'm sure you just avoided a lot of un-needed attention by her brushing you off like that, in fact after your performance I was almost positive I wasn't going to see you the next day and that you were gonna wake up on a white lab table with creepy scientists dissecting you or something." Camilla said while smirking, then she outright giggled at Naruto's horrified expression.
"SHIT-STAINS!" Guess who said that….Without anyone noticing the Drill Sergeant had appeared before them and was standing in front of the exit with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he screamed out his degrading profanity everyone within the barrack that was occupied with one thing or another had to immediately turn their attention towards the Drill Sergeant.
"Within these hands of mine I hold the possibility of the next step towards your ODST career." The Sergeant unfurled his arms and had two sheets of paper with writing in his right hand.
"I'm going to call out the damn, watery, elephant shit's that failed the screenings." The Sergeant said with a menacing leer that rotated around the room.
"Out of the 18 creamy chicken shit's that arrived here hoping to be the best of the best, six of you, SIX! Did not meet expectations and will be sent back to New Stendington to hopefully apply for a wimpier branch in the military or come again next time you feel you are actually prepared. When I call out these six pieces of bubblegum under my boot I want you to know that you now have the knowledge of what's expected to become an ODST trainee." The Sergeant briefly paused and took sadistic delight in watching the majority of the enlistees literally sweat. "When I call out your name you better be prepared to take the walk of shame past me and towards the Pelican waiting for the failures." The Sergeant maneuvered the paper's in his hand by extending his arm out grandly and looking at the names he was going to call out in feigned disgust.
" Pacelli Quinn! Heath Conway! Taylor Cox! Scott Vickers! Jacobs Sawyer! And last but also least Messerely Kirkpatrick! GET UP NOW AND FACE THE WALK OF SHAME YOU DRIED UP DECOMPOSING MAGGOT INFESTED FRUITS!" Slowly one by one the names called out got up and slowly made their way towards the exit where a Pelican was waiting for them to take them back to New Stendington. "MOVE IT YOU FUCKING SALTED SNAILS!" They immediately picked up the pace and were soon out of sight.
"The rest of you in here." Everyone redirected there attention to the Sergeant. "Congratulations and welcome to hell, these next few months are going to have some of the toughest challenges you ever faced and some of you may possibly quit once I'm through with you. But those of you that continue to push-forward will have my respect and the true and eventual title of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. Along with this title you will carry a portion of humanity's hope on your shoulders and the feeling of being a complete badass when you get your official armor . . . if you survive my training that is. This barrack and this military base is your new home now, a staff member will come by later to direct you to the cafeteria and as for sleeping quarters . . . well I think those bunk beds your sitting on are good enough." He finished with a toothy smirk that showed surprisingly well maintained teeth. He then turned military style, crossed his arms behind his back again and swiftly exited the enlistees turned trainees new home.
The first one to comment was Naruto.
"Damn . . . that was intense." Camilla and a small amount of people around the spacious barrack nodded in agreement.
(Scene Shift: Dr. Fracasso and Dr. Beller's Laboratory)
Dr. Beller looked up as he saw Dr. Fracasso enter the laboratory.
"Ah your back, how was your meeting with this Naruto fellow?" Dr. Beller questioned with intrigue lacing his voice.
"To be honest, one of the most interesting people I have ever met." She recounted most of what Naruto had told her and by the end of it Dr. Beller was very surprised by how this boy had simply utilized his own body and his surroundings to strengthen himself, and at such a young age as well.
"This may explain why he is so physically unique." Dr. Beller started. "If what he said is true than because he started at such a moldable young age the first thing he and his body had to learn was how to adapt to the very first thing he decided to learn. Thus because he was orphaned and had no parents or guardians to guide him his mind and body were focused on being stronger for survival I would assume. In addition his brain must have new neurological patterns that are connected in such a way that it allows him to adapt to situations very quickly. As seen by the kidnapped young candidates of the SPARTAN programs they too had similar neurological patterns since they were now devoid of any parental influence and were mostly forced to survive their training exercises. Just not to such a degree as Naruto since he started even younger and worked much harder to improve his physical performance." Dr. Beller accurately concluded.
"He also must have had a necessity to hunt for his food since he was alone without any help whatsoever until his godfather decided to drop by." Dr. Fracasso said sourly.
"And that right there concludes why he is so strong and agile, once he received his godfathers training regimen his adaptability must have sped up the process of the training allowing him to becoming even stronger. Even though he doesn't have large muscles he is just as powerful as someone with them, this may be due to the fact that his muscle density increased from his rock training exercises, as a physiologist I can confidently say that the constant molecular tears and contractions of his muscles must have a triggered another adaptation effect that lead to his strength as seen in the obstacle course." This was Dr. Beller's final answer.
"That's incredible Doctor, I knew the human species was very flexible when it comes to adapting but never to such a degree." Dr. Fracasso commented.
"It seems that Dr. Halsey had the right idea in choosing children for the SPARTAN project. Now all we have to do is report the new batch of trainees to ONI for their database along with our findings." Dr. Beller wasted no time in getting ready to do just that when the unexpected happened.
"Dr. Beller please wait and think critically about what you're doing." Dr. Fracasso said quickly and moved to intercept Dr. Beller and the standing computer monitor.
"Why should I wait Doctor?" Dr. Beller looked genuinely puzzled.
"Think about what ONI would do to Naruto when they find out he's basically a naturally occurring SPARTAN, they will most likely kidnap him to confirm your findings and once they figure out it is true children from every colony will start randomly disappearing due to ONI wanting any kind of power available to them, think of how morally wrong this is Dr. Beller. Would you seriously consider living with yourself after assisting in such an atrocity?" Dr. Fracasso told him desperately, hoping he would see the light instead of the darkness.
"What if I agree with you, what would you want me to do. Send an un-catalogued ODST to the front lines only for it to be redirected to us when he doesn't appear in ONI's database?" Dr. Beller was honestly weighing his options as he truly gave thought to what the psychologist Dr. Fracasso said.
"All you have to do is give them a watered down version of Naruto, comparable to the rest of the trainees. And simply withhold the information you gleaned from an observational standpoint, if we were to win this war with a child army how would it be like for us . . . for them, after the war?" Her eyes were becoming glossy. "Not only is this morally unjust Doctor, we will become monsters that feel like they have no limits as to what is right from wrong after such a transgression as this. ONI will continue to do unlawful research after the supposed end of this war and the supposed children will suffer psychologically as there only goal in life was to be a point and shoot killing machine." As a last effort she pleaded with him. "Please Dr. Beller, we have been partners for a long time and I know you very well, you know how to easily distinguish right from wrong. Please don't become another Dr. Halsey, that woman may be seen as a savior for creating the SPARTANS but you and I both know she started this project in 2525 to combat the insurrectionists." She intertwined both hands to make a pleading gesture. "Please."
"(Sigh) This better not backfire on us you hear me Kelsey, I don't need ONI's secret agents knocking on my front door for withholding information." Dr. Kelsey Fracasso looked at him with overjoyed and thankful eyes as she actually had to hug him to truly convey how happy she felt for his decision.
"Regardless of what the outcome could have been, you made the right choice Michael." She said still hugging him. As a side note they only use their first names when not on duty but I guess you could say this was a special occasion.
"I truly feel like I did, I wouldn't have been any better than the damned Covenant if I had let ONI's greedy long fingers get their hands on Naruto." Kelsey let go of Michael finally and she nodded in agreement.
"I'm glad you saw the light Michael."
(Scene Shift: Trainee Barrack Designation Number 333)
"I knew without a doubt you were going to pass those dumb test's Camilla." Naruto said with his vision flipped upside down due to him being on the top bunker bed and was leaning over the edge to look at Camilla's prone form on the bottom bunk.
"Yea same to you, you ball of sunshine and oranges." Camilla said with a teasing giggle. She then stretched on the bed with her arms behind her head and Naruto got an eyeful of the embodiment of sexy.
Awww man, the way Camilla's tank top just tightened even more and gave Naruto a full view of the perfect form of Camilla's larger than average C-cups, and the way the black tank-top accentuated the rest of her toned waist and stomach almost had Naruto lean over the edge to fall flat on his face.
Before this could happen though he immediately retreated before Camilla caught him staring. He also had to wipe his nose with the inner part of his shirt due to the fact that dual drops of blood were now slowly trailing down his nose. That moment of Camilla stretching was now forever ingrained into his mind.
'Damn it . . . Ero-Sennin truly succeeded in corrupting me' Naruto sighed. 'It's not all bad though, at least he taught me not to be completely clueless as I was apparently before.' Naruto thought amusedly.
"Hey . . . Naruto?" He heard Camilla speak from beneath him.
Naruto repositioned himself to lean over the edge of the bunk bed and looked down at Camilla's smirking visage.
"Remember that deal you made when you ripped my daddy's sleepwear." She said innocently enough.
"Yeah, I never forget my promises." Naruto said seriously.
"Weeeeell, I feel like cashing in right about now." She said still smirking cutely.
"Sure, I did say anything right?" Naruto was sometimes too honest, but that's probably one of his endearing quirks that people that know him seem to like.
"You know, the loophole in your promise is that you never specified how many things I can ask of you so I'm going to take advantage of that and ask you two things." Camilla ended her verbal breakdown of Naruto's promise with a satisfied 'mmhhmm' and a tight lipped smile while moving her head side to side happily on the pillow of the bunk bed.
"(Sigh) Fine with me, state your terms ohhhh powerful mistress of wordplay." Naruto said only slightly sarcastic.
"Well for one I want to switch bed's, I like being on top. And the second term that will bind our verbal contract is that when I'm too exhausted to move you are required to carry me Mr. Big and Strong ninja." She ended with a full blown grin.
"Yeah, sure no problem." Naruto said very quickly as he disappeared from Camilla's view.
The reason he left so quickly was because of Camilla's unintended sexual innuendo when she asked to switch bunk beds.
'Ero-Sennin has infected my mind worse than I thought possible!' Naruto panicked within his own mind as he had to use the inside of his shirt again to clean the blood that was pooling in his nose while he was upside down. 'Thank Kami this shirt is black.' He added as an afterthought.
Soon though he jumped from the top and landed to Camilla's left as she looked at him surprised by his random reappearance.
"Go on ahead and take your throne, you're highness." Naruto said in a tone of voice he thought sounded fancy.
"Don't mind If I do my faithful servant." Camilla shot back comically.
With that she climbed up the small latter and dropped on the top bunker happily while Naruto took her previous spot on the bottom. Chaser started whining because he knew he couldn't be next to Camilla if she was on the top bunker.
"Oh be quiet Chaser, you have Naruto with you in case you get bad dreams ok." She said with a cute quirk to her voice while she peeked over the edge to look at Chaser which immediately caught his attention as she spoke to him. "Don't be such a baby Chaser you're a big boy now." She finished.
"ARF!" Chaser barked and wagged his tail momentarily before he finally laid down as if resigned to his situation. Then Chaser looked at Naruto and started panting, Naruto extended his hand slowly and Chaser sniffed it before licking his hand and wagging his tail more excitedly this time. With that Chaser now knew he had his owner and Naruto as his best friends as was really excited to play with Naruto one day.
"TRAINEE'S!, ATTENTION!" For the fifth time this day every one's attention was directed towards the entrance of the barrack. "You are to follow me to learn where to go and for what purpose, our first trip is to the cafeteria, I need everyone to get up right now and follow me." The military staff member left no room for hesitation as he immediately exited.
Everyone jumped off their bunk beds quickly and exited the barrack only to see the man still a few feet away and still moving. They all caught up with him and eventually entered the main building that is labeled outside by large capital letters depicting MONTEZ MILITARY ACADEMY.
The Trainees along with Naruto, Camilla and Chaser are now being introduced to their new home for the next few months. Drill Sergeant Condor will attempt to break each and every one of them only to build them back up and break them a second time as this was his method for training future ODST's. Even though Naruto may be impervious to the training the Drill Sergeant will conduct he will still have to bear with the fact that his only friend on this planet so far, Camilla, will have to endure the hardships that Drill Sergeant Condor will put them through with only her strength training that her dad gave her as a basis that barely got her through the physical evaluation. Although Naruto believed in her she will also have to strive and work hard to achieve her ambition. She is lucky though because the embodiment of determination is by her side every step of the way giving her that extra push she needs.
Naruto himself will learn many things throughout his time in the Montez Military Academy, but some things are sometimes not meant to be as they are not aware of the possibility that the near future holds for them. Many will die, but through the carnage hero's will rise and stand strong to fight for what they love, to protect it until the very end.
Thus another step for Naruto's New Beginning and another step for humanity as a whole to experience the change he WILL bring about. You, the reader, are a spectral figure within this plane of existence watching these events unfold. This is a true story, not in our reality but in another one from the infinite amount that exist in the multi-verse and they change in ways that you cannot imagine.
As the spectral figure that watches this story unfold in your imagination, your duty is to understand the implications of what is happening in this universe not physically visible to us. You must uphold your duty to understand the just and unjust morals these characters will project, and you must understand the actions they may have to take, it is also your duty to choose whether these morals are valid to you or not, because as you read this story and imagine the events unfolding your brain chemistry is slowly changing to accommodate the information you are processing. It is upon your free will to choose what you want to do with this information. . . embrace it? Or disregard it? It is your choice. We are all Dimensional Jumper's, our mind has the power to put us in beautiful places or dark and haunting locations through dreams alone, the fear and happiness you feel is real and so is your supposed imaginations location, it is real but do not fear for it cannot hurt you, and know that through the knowledge that this is your mind and you control these events you will be set free.
Thus is a fraction of the power of the human mind.
