Naruto: A Scientist's Way of World Domination!

Hello, I am rewriting this story. I have decided to keep the original chapters like these here but I will not be continuing from here.

Please go to the second volume (The beginning) for the revised chapters. (Which starts from chapter 17)

I am sorry for the inconvenience but unfortunately there is no way to switch the order of volumes, though I will try to resolve the issue.

Thank you for your understanding.

It was a normal day for Aadamya Joshi, wake up, go to his dream college, IISc, come back home, work out, eat, chat with his friends, study everything related to maths and science he found interesting, and then finally sleep.

However, something not so normal happened this time around, when he came to consciousness, he was no longer on his bed and instead seemed to be floating, in a dark abyss. He couldn't see much or rather he seemed to have his eyes closed, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't open his eyes let alone move his body.

He thought it was a strange dream or just sleep paralysis and got ready to see some strange demonic creature(s) jump scare him. Afterall, this wasn't his first rodeo with these sorts of situations. However, when he finally managed to open his eyes, he saw something that truly shocked him.

It was a completely white ceiling, with a white wall one side and an open blue drape on his other. A person was checking his body for something, dressed in clothes he could only think of as a nurse. He wasn't completely sure what was happening.... his consciousness was blurry, his memories hazy.

He tried to get up but he couldn't on his own, his head was killing him. But then, he felt a gentle force helping him sit up against the wall. Then he finally heard something, a kind, soft yet distant voice, he could barely make it out.

"Can you hear me?" The voice asked.

"Y....*cough*....yes." He was surprised to say the least. Afterall, he woke up in an unfamiliar place with a skull crushing headache, blurry consciousness and now?

His voice, it was hoarse but what really shocked him was that the voice that came out of his mouth.... wasn't his, rather it seemed to be that of child.

His mind still in disarray raced with possible explanations, 'a dream? A reincarnation? No..... surely it was a dream, as fun as isekai stories were, they weren't very realistic, just a means to unleash your imagination.'

But when his vision finally started clearing up, he was dumbfounded. The nurse in front of him didn't look human, at least not like a normal human, the nurse, presumably a female, looked vaguely like a human whose face was modeled after a cat like a combination of the two with a higher proportion of human characteristics.

'This is.... isn't that the face of an anime character???' He didn't understand, it should be strange for him to see people vastly different in looks than he was used to but this type of face seemed oddly familiar as if everything was as it was supposed to be.

'But... that's couldn't be right could it? How? Why? This doesn't make any sense! I don't..... I don't understand, what's going on here??' Breathing deeply, he tried to calm his troubled mind and after recollecting a bit, he started running his brain.

'Ok.... calm down now, let's retrace what I did. The day was nothing really special, I just did what I usually do and went to sleep and everything after that.... I can't recall.'

He looked to the nurse, seeming to give him some space and understanding his frantic and disheveled state, he appreciated her understanding. But noticed she looked puzzled at the same time. 'Odd.... but it doesn't matter much right now.' Then, he looked down at himself and saw something he had imagined many times but never thought he would actually see.....

He was an anime character! And a very young boy at that, judging by his looks he surmised that he was about 2-3 years old. He had fair skin, and chubby arms and legs and he was wearing what he thought was a hospital gown.

'Holy..... never thought that'd actually happen to me of all people. I suppose it could all be a dream but..... it just doesn't seem very likely this all looks and feels too realistic to be a mere dream.

I suppose it could be a rare case where someone is injured and their brain makes up an entire false lifetime in their head but..... even if that's true it doesn't really affect me. After all I couldn't do anything even if that is true.'

[A/N: This is actually a real incident which happened. A man who had been tackled in a rugby game was injured and lost consciousness for 10 seconds, and in that 10 seconds his brain created an entire life which he thought was reality, till his death from old age with non-existent people and relationships.]

He didn't know what to say or what to do, waking up as toddler in an anime world all of a sudden was just mind boggling. Even if admittedly he had imagined this exact situation a lot of times.

Looking around his evidently hospital room, he noticed that a lot of the things in it looked to be technology and furniture used a couple hundred years ago. Although that didn't contribute anything to figuring out a time period as this is probably a completely different universe. But when he turned around to look what was behind him, he was astonished. There was a window and outside the hospital were buildings on both sides, a clear sky and a mountain with the faces of Hokage on it and...

'Wait a second! A mountain with the Hokages' faces on it? No way! Is that.... is that the Hokage rock!? But that means.... I'm in the Naruto world! The amount of times I have imagined this scenario is just too massive to count. This is one of my favorite anime along with Dr. Stone of course, that we are talking about!

There's Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen, Minato.... wait... Minato's face isn't there! This is crucial information, this means that Minato hasn't become Hokage yet; Naruto, Sasuke and the other rookies haven't been born yet either!'

Then, he suddenly heard a kind yet firm voice speak up from behind the door, it seemed that the nurse had come to her senses and rushed off to call a doctor during his musings.

"What is his name?" The voice asked and another voice, that of the previously present nurse replied, "Kagaku Heishi, sir."

'I see.... so my name is Kagaku Heishi huh? It even sounds Japanese... wait, Japanese? How am I understanding what they are saying? They should be talking in Japanese right? The show was dubbed in English later for general audiences. I did take some Japanese classes in school as a tertiary language but I don't understand it to the point of following normal conversation.

Could it be that I unconsciously recall some of my information from this life? I mean, I won't dwell on how this happened as I have pondered that many times and couldn't come up with a logical explanation for it. But it seems that I at least know some information absorbed by this body's previous host like how to speak and follow Japanese conversation, that's a relief.'

The nurse continued, "He is a few days older than 2 and a half years old, his birthday is on 14 March, year 51; and is an orphan, his parents were two civilian traders. His parents were killed by bandits when they were returning to Konoha from a trip. His parents sacrificed themselves to save him and died in front of him but he was still injured.

As they were relatively close to Konoha, a patrol team spotted them and rescued an unconscious and seriously injured Kagaku but arrived too late to save his parents. It turned out that he had a brain injury and only survived because one of the patrol ninjas knew basic medical ninjutsu and first-aid.

It seems after suffering great trauma, his brain shut down and he also hit a stone while falling down. The bandits luckily ignored him as they saw the patrol ninjas approaching.

It was expected that he would wake up in 2-4 years more if he even recovered, as the chances of dying or forever staying in a coma were quite high.

However, the most interesting thing about this is that among those patrolling ninjas, the Uchiha clan head's daughter, Mikoto Uchiha was present and offered to pay all the medical bills as an apology to the boy for not being able to save his parents in time.

It's quite unexpected that he woke up so early though, I worry that he hasn't actually completely healed yet. After all, there was a high probability that he was going to die or forever stay in a coma. So, seeing him wake up early is very concerning."

'Well that's..... nice, is it a bit weird that she gave a full backstory of how I got here rather than just my injuries? Yes, do I have any problem? Of course not, her speech gave me a lot of information about myself and how to act my way out of answering any personal questions, I can just say I don't remember or don't know!

Additionally, the original owner of this body's soul might have died due to my soul's arrival or merged with my soul as he was still in a coma. These two possibilities are highly likely as the concept of souls is evidently existent in the Naruto world.'

"Alright nurse, it's good to see that you are as enthusiastic about your patients' recovery as always. Now, come with me, we have to test the boy's mental and physical health.

Injuries to the brain are the worst kind of injuries to have and extreme caution must be exercised when dealing with them even if the injury seems minor."

'They are about to enter, I have to be careful not to seem abnormal, I am supposed to be 2.5 years old after all. Man, this is such a drag...'
