Ch1: I'm Dead, But.....

My name is Yasuke Shiya and I am a surgeon, my life was certainly not the best of all, I am an orphan, I grew up in foster homes, and I could never stay in a fixed place, I always ended up moving with another family after the passage of a short time, and in the end the longest time I have stayed was for 1 year with a kind elderly couple.

However, when everything seemed to be happy, tragedy struck, the old man started having severe heart pains and when the old couple finally decided to go to the doctor's clinic, the results were tragic.

Apparently the old man had had heart problems when he was young, and although he was eventually cured, it seems that the disease came back for revenge and this time the old man was unable to win.

This was a hard shock for the young me, after all I had never lost anyone and certainly this old couple was the couple I had spent the most time with to date.

And so a small young me decided that he would be a great doctor, and thus heal everyone so that others would not have to feel this sense of loss.

But life is hard and after more than twenty years of study and effort the most I ever got to be is a surgeon with some reputation in a medium-high level hospital.

And this was not because I had no talent, was bad in the medical field or did not put enough effort into my work, no, it should be said that it was the opposite, I put so much effort, every damn second I had of my miserable life in the study of medicine that I locked myself in my own cage, which led me to the separation of hospital colleagues and friends, if at any time I had any, and this led to lost relationship with superiors which limited my chances of promotion.

But taking away my low level of communication with other beings of the same species, as I said, I focused all my time in medicine, and if I was not in the operating room, I used to be in my work office or that was what happened until one day I heard two teenagers talking about something called Naruto, which aroused my curiosity.

And it was at that moment that the world of Naruto entered my life like a ray of light, I started watching it just out of curiosity, but after a few weeks I was already a loyal fan.

At the end of those intensive days with an insatiable exhaustion I just let myself fall on the couch in the living room of my house and enjoyed a couple of episodes of the funny but brave orange ninja will.

This encouraged me to even talk to other people on internet forums about this fantastic anime.

However who would have thought that after what seemed to be a light at the end of the tunnel of this hard loneliness an accident would happen.

One day after performing several long operations or helping in operations of other coworkers and almost no sleep for almost a week I would fall directly into bed to end up having a dream that in the end would be much more lake than I thought, since I could never wake up again, or at least in the world that I knew.

Unknown place

-Mmmmmmmm strange, I feel my body strange, too light - he said in trance.

-It may be because you have no body - said a monotonous but majestic voice.

This voice woke up Yasuke directly from the trance.

Yasuke opened his eyes and he was certainly not in his apartment or even consulting

-Where... where am I!" the nervous Yasuke sputtered.

Certainly he is a calm person, but with the kidnapping-like situation no one could maintain absolute tranquility.

-Well, strange as it may seem, you're dead and this is limbo," said the majestic voice.

-Mmmmm, I think I understand, however what am I supposed to do here, some kind of test or trial to see if I go to hell or heaven?

-Well, not exactly, the truth is that when I saw your memories I could see that you have given your life to the benefit of other people and that even the only luxury you have given yourself is that anime called Naruto.

-Then what will happen?" asked a surprised Yasuke.

-Well, I'll give you the chance to make a wish.

-Mmmmmm then I can ask to finish watching the Naruto series, since I could only get to episode 133 of Naruto Chiquito.

-Oh...

-It can't be?

-No, it's not that, it's just....

-It's just that...-Yasuke tentatively repeated.

-It's just that I was hoping you'd ask for something else.

-Well, other than medicine, that's the only thing that interests me.

-I see," the voice replied thoughtfully.

-So, will you grant me my last wish?

-Mmmmm, I think I have a much better idea.

-And what is that idea?

However before he could finish asking he felt a tug on his conscience.

As Yasuke's conscience left an African-American middle-aged man in a white suit came out with a small smile.

If Yasuke were still here he would shout in shock "It's Morgan Freeman".

In an orphanage in Konohagakure no Sato.

Through a small window you can see a small thin figure lying on a bed covered by sheets and a damp cloth on his forehead.

Suddenly the figure began to make strange noises and to move as if it was going to wake up.

-Where... where am I?" said the small figure with a hoarse voice and slowly opening his eyes.

Around him he could see that he was in a large wooden Japanese style room, which could see a somewhat old appearance, but exuded a homey and certainly comforting feeling, he could also see that not only his bed was there, as he could see several wooden beds and bunk beds, which left a corridor through which people could move and move without concern.

When Yasuke was about to get out of bed and explore more of his surroundings the sound of a door opening made him turn his gaze to see a scene that he would find hard to erase from his head.

A girl who looked to be about four or five years old wearing what appeared to be a long white sleeping robe and with a scarf over her light brown hair staggered over with a tray of what appeared to be a glass of water and a pill.

Yasuke upon seeing her staggering hurriedly got out of bed although he noticed something strange when he got up, he just didn't give it a thought, but as he got closer to the girl the feeling in his heart grew stronger until he was in front of the girl and he realized

They were the same height!

This fact left Yasuke deeply shocked, you must know that him a man of almost thirty years old looking the same height as a girl of about five years old is something shocking.

But discarding the strangeness in his heart he reached out his hand to pick up the tray, but what he didn't expect was that the little girl in front of him would take the tray away before he could touch it.

-What do you think you're doing!" said the little girl with a cute attempt to look angry.

-I just want to help you carry that," replied Yasuke with a strange sound in his voice.

-No, Nonoe doesn't need help, Nonoe can do it by herself," said the girl apparently named Nonoe, with an attempt to look firm while puffing out her adorable cheeks.

-Mmmmm, okay, but be careful," something moved in Yasuke's heart and he could only say this.

And so Yasuke had to follow Nonoe on her way to the bedside table as he watched her swaying back and forth.

After a few minutes they finally reached the bedside table near the bed, where Nonoe carefully put down the tray with the glass of water and the pill, then turned around and smiled at Yasuke.

*boom* *boom*

Again that feeling, Yasuke's heart jumped again.

Now Yasuke could fully see Nonoe, with a chubby face from the baby fat, dark green eyes and red square glasses.

*boom* *boom*

Yasuke tried to suppress the annoying feeling and asked directly.

-Where am I?

-At home

- -_-

Nonoe just smiled sweetly

-And where is home?

-Home is at home

Yasuke felt that if he kept asking, not only would he not get any answers, but he would also get even more lost.

-All right then, I have to take medicine or something.

-Yes - Nonoe answered and stared at him with eyes of anticipation.

Yasuke was immediately left with an indescribable feeling, a 5 year old girl saw him only as a monkey putting on a performance.

Even so Yasuke tried to make this as uncool as possible by popping the pill in his mouth and drinking the water in one gulp.

And when he put the glass down and turned his eyes back he still saw Nonoe's green eyes still watching him intently.

Soon Yasuke found himself in an extremely awkward situation again.

-This... Nonoe, are there other people besides you here?

Yasuke asked this question to make conversation so that there would not be an awkward atmosphere, but what he didn't expect was that after a moment of contemplation Nonoe would run out of the room leaving Yasuke stunned.

But Yasuke did not have to wait too long, as a series of footsteps came from the other side of the door from which Nonoe had left, and it certainly was not Nonoe alone, as different types of footsteps were heard, some louder and others weaker.
