Hello all Storm here with a new story! Yes, yes a new story again, it's another idea I thought was interesting and couldn't get it out of my head. I'm sure from the title you can tell what it is, as here we'll be seeing Naruko getting bit by a very special spider, but rather than doing everything a spider can, she'll be chosen by the Web of Life as the newest Madame Web. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Naruko gasped as she shot up, only to immediately cry out and cover her ears as she was suddenly assaulted by dozens of sounds. Hearing dozens of beeps, footsteps, people talking, wheels scraping on the floor, it felt like everything was dialed up to eleven.
Even worse was that no matter where she looked, Naruko couldn't see anything but darkness all around her, much to her growing panic.
'Wh-what's going on?! What's happening?! Where am I?!' Naruko thought freaking out, having no idea where she was or why she couldn't see anything, with her scrambling to get up.
Only to cry out again when she fell off of what she assumed was a bed and onto a cold tiled floor. The Uzumaki couldn't stop herself from whimpering as she tried feeling around for anything to grab.
"He-hello…i-i-is…i-i-is s-s-s-s-so-so-someone th-th-th-th-there…pl-pl-p-p-pl-please h-h-he-he-help." Naruko stuttered, just wanting to at least know she wasn't stuck somewhere completely alone and unable to see anything.
"I'm here, just calm down alright, Naruko. You're safe." Said a familiar voice, much to Naruko's relief at recognizing the Sandaime Hokage's, Hiruzen Sarutobi's, voice, before feeling him grab her hand and help her back up to her feet.
"Ol-ol-ol-old man, w-w-w-wh-where…wh-where a-a-am-am I-I? Wh-wh-why c-c-ca-ca-can't I-I s-se-se-see a-a-an-anything?" Questioned Naruko while turning her head around, hoping that she'll suddenly see something, anything rather than just darkness.
"You're in the hospital right now Naruko, so no need to worry. You're safe here." The Sandaime replied, which only confused and worried Naruko more.
"Th-th-the h-ho-h-ho-hospital? Wh-wh-why?" Naruko asked, wondering how and why she's at the hospital, only to hear the Hokage sigh.
"Let's…let's get you back in bed and I'll…I'll explain." Said Hiruzen, guiding Naruko back to her hospital bed and helping her get back on it.
"Old man…wh-wh-what…wh-what happened?" Said Naruko, starting to get scared at the way he's talking.
"Naruko, what's the last thing you remember?" Hiruzen asked, which did nothing to calm Naruko's nerves.
"I…I remember…th-the Forbidden Scroll…M-Mizuki…he tricked me into stealing, saying th-that…that it was a secret test, that i-if I l-l-learned a Jutsu f-from it I…I'd graduate and become a Ninja. B-b-but I-Iruka-sensei showed up a-and th-then Miz-Mizuki sh-showed up and…and he told me ab-about the…the Kyūbi. H-he tried killing Iruka-sensei b-but I-I stopped him, then Iruka-sensei gave me his headband a-and said I graduated!" Naruko said, recalling what happened last…she wasn't even sure how long it's been, if it was still morning or if it was different day.
"Yes…yes that's right. You both were found by Anbu, Iruka was taken to the hospital to have his wounds treated, Mizuki was taken into custody while you and the Forbidden Scroll were brought to me…so I could explain things to you." Said Sarutobi, with the Uzumaki nodding slowly in agreement.
"Y-ye-yeah…y-you…you told me why…why I didn't know about the Kyūbi being…sealed in me. Th-then…I…I went for a-a…a walk to…u-u-understand wh-what…h-ha-happened… A-a-and th-th-then…" Said Naruto, trying to remember what happened when she went for a walk.
Only to freeze as she remembered bits and pieces, a woman attacking her, blaming her for what happened to Mizuki, a kunai being swung at her, then a…
"M-my-my eyes! A-a woman, sh-she had a-a-a-a kunai…a-an-and she hit my eyes!" Naruko said, breathing heavily as she remembered what happened.
"Naruko, Naruko! Calm down, relax. You're safe I promise, the woman who attacked you has been apprehended and imprisoned." Assured Hiruzen, though it didn't help Naruko calm down.
"But my eyes! I-i-is th-th-that why I'm at the hospital?! My-my eyes were hit, i-i-is that why I can't see?! A-are-are…are their bandages covering them?" Naruko said desperately, hoping that the reason she can't see is from bandages over her eyes from being healed.
But when she heard the Sandaime sigh again, Naruko only felt a cold dread filling her before she shakily reached up and touched her face. Only to feel nothing but skin, no matter where she touched she didn't feel any bandages.
"O-ol-old m-ma-m-ma-man?" Stuttered Naruko, feeling tears start falling down her face as the realization hit her.
"The woman who attacked you, her name is Tsubaki, she is, or was, Mizuki's fiancée, she…held you responsible for Mizuki being imprisoned for his treachery. After…after she was captured she was interrogated and a Yamanaka searched her mind. We learned that Mizuki had met Orochimaru, one of my old students and one of the Sannin. Tsubaki knew this and of Mizuki's plan to steal the Forbidden Scroll as a gift for Orochimaru. The kunai she hit you with was…laced with a special poison that Orochimaru had given Mizuki. Naruko…we've done all we could to heal the damage, but…I'm afraid not everything could be fixed…" Sarutobi explained, bowing his head in shame, while Naruko felt like her entire world was crumbling.
"I…I'm…blind…" Naruko said, unsure if this was real or just a horrible nightmare she'll hopefully wake up from.
"Yes. I'm so sorry Naruko, believe me when I say I had every Medical Ninja available working to find a solution, but…whatever the poison was it…" Said Hiruzen before stopping.
Given the poison seemed like it was specifically designed to use against those with healing factors and/or powerful lifeforce, like Jinchūriki or Uzumaki. The Sandaime wasn't even sure if Orochimaru intended for Mizuki to use it on Naruko or not. Since from what they learned from Mizuki's memories, Orochimaru merely gave it to him "in case of an emergency".
So whether Naruko was the intended target for the poison or Mizuki was merely meant to test it remained a mystery.
"But…but what about the other Sannin? Y-you trained Tsunade Senju too, s-sh-she's supposed to be the best medic in the world. C-c-can't she do something?" Naruko asked, smiling shakily at the chance Tsunade could heal her eyes.
"I sent out several teams to look for Tsunade, but…all of them returned without a clue of where she is now. And…even if we did locate and convince her to come to the village…it's been three days now Naruko. The doctors believe the damage done…can't be healed, not even by Tsunade." Replied the Sandaime, his shame growing when Naruko let out a choked sob.
"So…what then? H-how…how can I…b-be-be a…a Ninja if…if I can't see?" Said Naruko, wondering how she can be a Ninja, let alone ever become Hokage when she's blind.
"You can still be a Ninja, Naruko. It…it might take time, but with training you'll still be able to succeed. You'll simply need…extra help to learn to compensate for your…" Hiruzen assured, knowing Naruko could still be a Ninja with the right training and help.
And the fact she needed to still prove she can be a Ninja, given how he's worked to keep Naruko's condition secret. But the Hokage knew once Danzō learned this, he'll consider Naruko useless and try to push for them to acquire a new Uzumaki to be turned into a Jinchūriki, and Hiruzen didn't even want to imagine how Danzō would do such a thing.
So, he knew he needed to show that Naruko was still capable of being a Ninja even if she's blind.
"Thanks…old man. But…can I just be alone right now." Naruko said while lowering her head, making the Sandaime sigh but nod in understanding.
"Very well. I'll…leave a guard outside the door, should you need anything." Said Hiruzen as he headed for the door.
Though the moment he exited the room, the elderly Kage felt his heart break as he heard Naruko's sobs inside, knowing she's lost something irreplaceable. Making Sarutobi mentally curse not only his students, but himself as well.
Orochimaru for being the reason Naruko is blind, Tsunade for running away to drown in her vices and grief, Jiraiya for ignoring his goddaughter her entire life and himself for being the cause of it all.
'If I just killed Orochimaru, if I hadn't enabled Tsunade's gallivanting across the nations, if Jiraiya was more responsible, if I had been the one to seal Kyūbi rather than Minato, if I let Mikoto raise her goddaughter, if…so many ifs.' Hiruzen thought, knowing he's truly the one at fault for everything leading up to this moment.
"Neko, if anyone and I mean anyone, tries entering this room, then you are to treat them as an enemy and eliminate them. If a doctor or nurse needs to enter, then you stay in the room until they leave, and be ready to deal with them should they try anything." Sarutobi ordered, refusing to take any chances of anyone trying to get to Naruko.
"Understood Hokage-sama." Said Neko from her hiding spot, saddened at what's happened to her former teachers daughter, but fully intended to ensure no one got the chance to lay a hand on Naruko again.
Nodding, the Hokage took his leave while thinking of ways to try and fix the things he's broken, or at least put them back together the best he can.
*Timeskip-Two Days*
"How is she?" Hiruzen asked as he stood outside of Naruko's room.
The past two days he's been working on finding trainers to help Naruko learn to adapt to her blindness, along with ensuring she'd have time to adapt. Having been able to use Mizuki's treachery and allegiance to Orochimaru as a means of delaying the Team Placements so Naruko could train and build herself up to at least an acceptable level.
He'd also made sure to check on the Uzumaki whenever he could, but each time Naruko didn't say or do anything other than lying in her hospital bed while looking at the ceiling blankly.
"The same Hokage-sama. She hasn't moved or said anything, only moving when a nurse comes to examine her, she hasn't touched any food that was brought to her either. I even tried talking to her, but she still doesn't do anything, she just lays there." Neko said sadly, having never thought she'd see the normal energetic and excited whiskered blonde being so…empty.
This made the Hokage sigh sadly before entering the room, finding Naruko in the same position she was the last time he visited.
"Naruko, it's me. I wanted to see how you were doing." Said Sarutobi, walking up to the bed, only for Naruko to not even blink, making him sigh again.
"Naruko, I can't really imagine what you're going through right now, but I do know you can't continue laying here. And I know things might seem hopeless, but you shouldn't let this stop you from trying. Being a Ninja is about facing challenges and working to overcome them, there'll be times you'll feel helpless, that there's nothing you can do. But what's important is how you face these challenges, not the challenges themselves. You can either work to overcome them or be crushed, and I believe you'll overcome this." Said Hiruzen, putting a comforting hand on Naruko's shoulder.
But the moment he touched her, the Sandaime's eyes widened in shock when "Naruko" vanished in a puff of smoke, revealing that it was just a Shadow Clone.
"Neko!" Sarutobi shouted, causing the Anbu to burst into the room with her sword drawn.
"What's the pro-where is she?!" Said Neko in shock when she didn't see Naruko anywhere.
"She must've snuck out somehow, leaving a Shadow Clone behind! Find her now!" Ordered Hiruzen before Shunshining away to mobilize the Anbu to locate where Naruko was, having no idea how long it's been since she slipped away.
With Neko instantly Shunshining away as well, worried about where Naruko was and hoping she's alright.
*With Naruko*
Naruko stumbled when she suddenly started hearing voices in her mind, not around but actually hearing voices in her head. Recognizing the Sandaime's voice, while the other seemed to be nurses and another she didn't recognize.
'Wh-what…what was that? W-was…was that…from my Shadow Clone?' Naruko thought, confused at how she could hear them and feel like she'd been there when they were talking.
'So…Shadow Clones transfer memories back…yippee.' Thought Naruko, doubting that'll be all that useful if she can only hear what her clones hear before she continued on her way.
She wasn't sure how long it's been since she snuck out of the hospital, having left a Shadow Clone in her place before sneaking out the night she woke up. At least Naruko thought it was night when she left, only being able to guess since all the noises she heard weren't as loud as when she first woke up. Leaving her guessing that it was night, giving her a good chance to sneak out.
The Uzumaki's just thankful the room she was in was on the ground floor, after stumbling a while trying to get out the window and not breaking anything when she hit the ground.
After that, Naruko had intended on going to her apartment to simply lock herself away from everything. Part of her was still hoping this was all just a nightmare she'll wake up from eventually. Unfortunately, Naruko wasn't very familiar with where the hospital was in regards to her apartment.
Leaving her to simply stumble around the village with her arms held out, hoping that she'd be able to feel or hear something familiar to give her an idea of where she was. Only to either walk into walls several times or be pushed out of the way by someone. Usually knocking her to the ground, leaving the whiskered blonde to try and get back up to her feet on her own.
While Naruko couldn't see, she could still hear the whispers of people, being able to just imagine they were pointing and glaring at her. Which did nothing to improve her mood, that no one would even try helping her despite how she's sure all she's doing is walking around with no idea where she's going.
Naruko had tried asking for help when she heard people, but when no one came up or offered to help, she gave up and continued stumbling her way through the village. Leaving the whiskered blonde disheartened that even now, she's still alone with no one willing to so much as tell her where she is.
'At…at least I…don't have to see it anymore.' Thought Naruko, trying to look at it positively, she didn't have to see the villagers actively ignoring her now.
Before Naruko stopped when she felt her hand touch a metal fence, feeling some hope as she grabbed it feeling the fence and seeing it was a chain linked one.
'Did…did I get to the Academy?' Naruko thought, knowing the Academy had a chain link fence around the sparring rings, having jumped over it enough times to leave the Academy whenever she lost a sparring match.
'Then, then maybe Iruka-sensei's here! If I can find him, he can help me back to my apartment!' Thought Naruko, feeling hope and relief at that she'll find someone that will help her.
Finally having a plan, Naruko reached out and grabbed the fence before she began slowly climbing up and over it. Grunting when she reached the top only to end up falling down on the other side, but was glad she at least made it over.
"Now I…I just need to find Iruka-sensei. Hello?! Is anyone here?! I'm looking for Iruka-sensei!" Naruko called out, hoping someone here will at least tell her where Iruka is or he'll hear her shouting.
Unfortunately for Naruko, what she thought was a fence around the Academy was a fence surrounding a training ground in Konoha. An incredibly dangerous training ground that few dared to enter. The Uzumaki being completely unaware of this as she unknowingly wandered into Training Ground Forty-Four, also known as the Forest of Death.
*Later*
Naruko dragged her feet as she moved through…wherever she ended up, having realized that she's not at the Academy like she originally thought. Since she couldn't hear anyone talking nor did she walk into any walls, instead having walked into several trees and bushes. Much to the whiskered blondes despair, believing she instead ended up going into the forest.
Leaving her well and truly lost with no way to even go back the way she came, given whenever she bumped into a tree she kept turning in a new direction. With Naruko unsure if she's been walking in circles or getting further and further away from the fence.
'Maybe I should just stop, if my clone was dispelled then the old man probably has Ninja looking for me. No point in getting myself even more lost than I already am.' Naruko thought with her head lowered, feeling even worse than she did before at having gotten herself lost.
'And the old man thinks I can still become a Ninja? I can barely walk three feet without bumping into something.' Thought Naruko, flinching when she did just that, before putting her hands up to feel around the tree to go around.
'I'd be lucky if I can even still take care of myself, let alone survive out on missions. Maybe it'd be better to just stop while I'm still in one piece. I mean, I already proved I could become a Ninja and learned a cool Jutsu, that's…that's enough…y-yeah…I'm…fine with that…' Naruko thought, wiping her eyes when she felt tears in them.
But she couldn't stop her body as it began shaking, feeling pain, sadness, despair and anger filling her at what's happened. She finally took a step towards fulfilling her dream, only to have it all ripped away from her, and for what?!
Because she was blamed for Mizuki being a traitor, for trying to kill her and Iruka, for planning to steal the Forbidden Scroll for Orochimaru! All because she had been an easy target, desperate for a chance to become a Ninja!
"WHY?! WHY ME?!" Naruko screamed as loudly as she could, no longer caring who or what heard her.
"WHAT DID I DO?! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME?!" Yelled Naruko, wanting to know why it's always her.
Why is she the one hated and ignored?! Why is she the freak that parents don't want their kids around?! Why does she have to be seen as an annoyance just to be acknowledged?! Why has she always been alone?! Why is she the one that had to have the Kyūbi put inside her?!
"W-wh…why…" Muttered Naruko as her outburst died down, leaving only emptiness and despair.
Standing there silently, unsure what to do next, Naruko flinched when she felt something touch her hand and began crawling on her arm.
"S-s-sp-s-spider." Naruko stuttered realizing what it was, instinctively lifting her other arm to swat it, only to stop and instead lift her arm with the spider on it.
"Hey, sorry if I…disturbed your home or something. I…can't really see anything anymore, I don't even really know where I am, right now." Said Naruko, not even sure what she's doing any more if she's talking to a spider.
"I don't really know anything anymore, here I am blind, alone, in the middle of a forest talking to a possibly poisonous spider that could kill me if it bites me. But you're also the first living thing I've come across that hasn't ignored me or pushed me out of the way. So…I don't really have a lot of options." Naruko said, feeling the spider climbing up her arm onto her shoulder.
"You probably think I'm crazy, maybe I am crazy. Maybe that Tsubaki bitch actually stabbed me and this is all just one big delusion my mind conjured up while poison is spreading through my body. That or it really is just the craziest dream anyone's ever had and I'll eventually wake up." Naruko said before sighing.
"I don't know, what do you thi-" Said Naruko, knowing she's definitely crazy if she's asking for a spiders opinion.
Only to cry out when the spider suddenly bit her neck, this time reaching to smash it, feeling the spider skittering across her body and onto the forest floor.
"Yeah! You better run before I…b-be-before…I…I…sh-shit…" Naruko said, trying to stomp the spider only to suddenly feel dizzy, seeing the spider actually was venomous.
'Sure…why…not…' Thought Naruko, not even surprised that things could get even worse.
Before she felt the sensation of falling, but rather than hit the ground the whiskered blonde kept falling.
"You gotta be ki-" Naruko muttered that she had been standing on a ledge as well without realizing it, being cutoff as she hit a river.
*Web of Life*
Not a moment later Naruko's eyes flew open as she gasped for air, only to be shocked when she could actually see, much to her joy.
'I…I can see! I can see!' Naruko thought not caring how her sight is suddenly back, only that it is.
Only for her joy to be cut short when she took in her surroundings, the Uzumaki's eyes widening again as she saw herself floating in an endless black void. Even more shocking was a single light illuminating what looked like a massive spiderweb surrounding her.
'Wh-what…the hell?' Thought Naruko as a glowing thread floated through the darkness towards her, which she reached out to grab it only for the thread to weave through her fingers.
"Did you hit your head or something brat?"
"A spider pushed me off a cliff."
"Yeah…you definitely hit your head."
"Hmmm…how do I put this? My first impression of you is…I hate you."
"Is there… somebody precious to you?"
Naruko looked around freaking out at where the voices were coming from, only that they seemed to be echoing all around her. Before she screamed in panic as a wave of sand suddenly appeared and fell towards her.
"Only a fool wastes their time trying to become something they can never be!"
"Is that all you've got? Let me feel it a little more… There isn't enough… blood!"
But rather than hit her, the sand suddenly vanished only to transform into red energy that began covering Naruko's body, only to vanish just as quickly.
"How are you going to fight me now, with that huge mass of Chakra restricting your movements?"
"My pain is greater than yours."
"You have no father and mother… your master Jiraiya is dead, and as long as you keep opposing, your friends will die one after the other."
"You're getting in the way of everyone's happiness. Our game ends here. I turned hell into heaven. You should understand… It's already over."
"If you really want to do something for us... then do what you've always done... Prove it to us with your actions! That's who you are!"
'What's happening?!' Naruko thought freaking out at everything she's seeing, before her eyes widened when she felt like a pair of arms wrap around her
"You are the only one who can change the future."
"There are some important words I want to tell, only to those who compliment my hair… Naruko…will you hear them? I love you."
"Naruko…thank you for letting me be you mother…and Minato for being your father…thank you…for being born to us!"
"Come on kid, breathe!"
Naruko's coughed as she suddenly felt someone pressing down on her chest, along with the last voice sounding much closer.
*Real World*
The whiskered blonde began coughing and sputtering as she spat up some water, feeling her entire body was completely wet and her clothes clinging to her.
"Oh thank Kami, you're alive! The Hokage would've been pissed if you died!" Said someone, a female judging by their voice.
'I…I can't see them, I'm…I'm still blind.' Naruko thought sadly that she's still blind.
"Wh-wh-who…who're you?" Naruko wheezed, her throat feeling dry and sore after coughing up the water.
"Me? I'm the sexy and single Anko Mitarashi! But more importantly, what the hell are you doing in the Forest of Death?!" Said Anko, knowing even most Jōnin avoid going in here.
"Why the hell is there only a fence put up around a place called the Forest of Death?" Naruko retorted, figuring a place with a name like that it'd have better security measures than just a fence.
"…Touché. But seriously, what're you doing here? Did you hit your head or something brat?" Anko asked, not denying she had a good point, but still wanted to know why she's here.
"A spider pushed me off a cliff." Said Naruko with Anko raising a brow, not that the Uzumaki could see it.
"Yeah…you definitely hit your head. Come on, let's get you to the hospital." Said Anko holding her hand out, only for Naruko to not react.
"…In case you didn't notice, I'm blind." Naruko stated, much to Anko's surprise before she really looked and saw her clouded, pale blue eyes.
"Oh…ooooohhh…" Anko said widening her eyes, now realizing why the Hokage was so urgent in sending Ninja to find the kid
It's honestly a miracle she made it this far without seeing anything, let alone still being alive in the forest.
"Right, uh…okay. I'll take you there. Come on." Said Anko reaching out and grabbing Naruko's hand to pull her up.
But the moment Naruko was on her feet, she suddenly sat up again coughing up water much to her confusion.
'What the hell?!' Naruko thought wondering how she was back on the ground coughing up more water.
"Oh thank Kami you're alive! The Hokage would've been pissed if you died!" Said Anko, confusing the Uzumaki further.
"Yes, I'm…still alive…you already said…that." Naruko said, with Anko looking at her with a raised brow.
"Uh…that's the first thing I've said brat. Did you hit your head or something brat?" Anko asked, making Naruko shake her head.
"I think I should be asking that question. Or do you normally ask people the same question twice, Anko?" Said Naruko, much to the Tokubetsu Jōnin's confusion.
"How exactly do you know my name?" Asked Anko, now really confused, with Naruko now rolling her eyes.
"You just told me it, the sexy and single Anko Mitarashi. You asked me what I'm doing here, I asked why a place called the Forest of Death only had a fence to keep people out. Is this supposed to be a joke, because it's not funny." Naruko said, thinking she's messing with her because she can't see anything.
"Okayyy…you definitely hit your head. Come on, I'm taking you to the hospital." Anko said, standing up and offering her hand, not sure what the Uzumaki is talking about but she clearly needed to be checked out.
"Is that supposed to be funny?! I just told you I'm blind!" Said Naruko, scowling in anger, now believing she's doing it on purpose.
"Seriously kid, I have no idea what you're talking about! I only know the Hokage has been sending out basically every Ninja in the village to look for you, nothing else! I didn't know you can't see anything!" Said Anko, completely clueless at what she's going on about.
This only made Naruko blink in confusion, wondering if Anko really had no idea what was going on.
"So…you really don't remember saying anything else or telling me your name?" Naruko asked, making Anko let out an exasperated sigh.
"I swear to Kami I don't know anything you're talking about; I only pulled you out of the river, gave you CPR, then you came to and started talking like we've met before. Whatever it is, clearly you hit your head or were under the water too long, so I'm taking you to the hospital and letting the Hokage know you're still alive." Said Anko before reaching and lifting Naruko up, putting the Uzumaki on her back as she took off out of the forest.
"O-okay…" Naruko muttered, just as confused at the Tokubetsu Jōnin.
'Did…did I imagine it all? But then…how did I know her name?' Thought Naruko, knowing she'd remember someone who introduced herself the way Anko did.
'And…and then that…web I saw…the voices I heard…she was one of them and…she said the same thing.' Naruko thought in disbelief that she heard Anko's voice while she was in that web, realizing she also heard her own too.
'But then…all those other voices…I didn't recognize them. But if I heard Anko's voice and mine…does that mean those voices…are from real people?' Thought Naruko, not sure if what happened was even real or what it meant.
Unsure what to do or think, Naruko decided to just focus on what she's supposed to do next and how she's supposed to still be a Ninja. All while mentally hoping that she's able to figure something out before anything else happens.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Naruko waking up in the hospital where she learns she's been blinded, having been attacked by vengeful Tsubaki with poison-laced kunai, much to her devastation at the loss of her sight, believing she can no longer be a Ninja without her eyes, despite the Sandaime's reassurance that she can.
Before we see Naruko managed to sneak out of the hospital, leaving a Shadow Clone in her place, trying to find her way back to her apartment. Only to end up climbing into the Forest of Death believing it's the Academy, leading to her getting even more lost. With Naruko close to giving up when a spider lands on her and bites her, which sends Naruko falling off a cliff she'd unknowingly been standing on.
Finally, we see Naruko finding herself in the Web of Life, hearing different voices and seeing visions until she's woken up by Anko finding her. Leading to a quick introduction as she prepares to take Naruko back to the hospital. With Naruko then getting a strange sense of déjà vu much to her confusion at what's going on, along with Anko's at the way she's talking, before taking Naruko to the hospital, all while Naruko wonders what exactly happened to her. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
