Ch 32

I don't know what my life is anymore.

I don't know what the story of Naruto is anymore. It was stupid of me to not think about it.

Of course there is a lot more to the main story than we all thought.

Naruto is just about Naruto's story.

But what about everyone else?

What about the people in the world we never saw?

Well, now I know a few more.

I had to say, It's not fun being forced into a cult like village obsessed with power.

================================================================================

It's pitch black...

I can't see anything at all...

My sharingan can't detect any chakra in the vicinity...

I run for hours on end, but I can't find anything...

Or anyone...

"Hello!" I yelled, "can anyone hear me!?"

I started running again, it's flat ground.

Like marble, but it won't break...

I can't break it...

"Where are you!?" I yelled again.

I'm scared, I don't want to be here...

I don't want to be alone....

"Hey! Get me out of here!" I screamed.

"Please..." I cried "please, I can't take this."

It's so cold...

It's so lonely...

It's so dark...

The tears on my face grew cold as I curled up into a ball on the ground, hugging myself.

I hate this...

Please save me...

================================================================================

I wake up in a cold sweat, looking at my surroundings. It's a small room, just big enough for a bed and table. There's no fridge or bathroom.

Oh... I forgot...

I'm not home... My family's dead...

I couldn't save them...

I laid back down and stared at the ceiling.

They'll be coming soon...

I sighed in sadness, and regret. Who knew that I would become like this, damn it.

I then hear the ringing of the bell.

"Time to get up," I grunted. I quickly but sloppily put my clothes on and stood outside my door, arms straight by my side, and a neutral expression on my face.

I was joined with another 300 who did the same. It's like a dormitory, but worse.

"Stand at attention!" Barked some guy. His name is Isahai, my worst nightmare.

Literally.

He's a drunk who lets authority get to his head.

"You there! Your hair is messy, what's your name!" The other guy he's screaming at looked back in fear. He yelled out his name and Isahai wrote it down.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh wait.

You don't know what's going on.

I'm sorry, let me tell you.

I'm in hell.

And I want out!

This is Nigeru village.

Yes, that village that those children from my childhood said I belong to. I thought it was a rhyme, but I guess not.

Nigeru village isn't really an official village. It's not on any maps and it's well hidden.

No, I didn't find it. It found me!

I got too close and was knocked out. Now I'm forced to be a part of this sick training. If you could even call it that.

Nigeru is a small village. Around 1000 people live here. And not even half are Shinobis.

I am in their program as an experiment you could say.

Of course, this is against my will. Sorry, our will.

I have tried to escape twice, and I was caught and subdued. Now, I have a seal on me that makes me feel excruciating pain if I go near the edge of the village without permission. There are people in this village stronger than me.

And of course, there is also a hierarchy.

It's so confusing that I don't even try to remember it, but I'll tell you once.

You don't need to remember it, because I won't.

The new people like me are all put into this army training camp, we are called the Rieki.

It means profit.

We have potential and are useful.

If we aren't good shinobi then we become the Buttai.

It means object.

They are the workers, they work the fields or they clean and cook.

If you can't even do that, then you're called Mudana.

It means futile.

Basically, you're homeless.

But good things can come your way, if you pass all the tests and trials, then you become a Konomashi.

It means favorable.

You're like the Rieki, but better. And more well treated.

But, if you get even better, you could become a Kachi. Or a commander.

Kachi means worth.

Commanders were once Rieki but have proven that they deserve respect and authority.

And that's what that jerk named Isahai is, but he doesn't warrant my respect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alright, everyone outside! Now!" and all Rieki does as he said.

He made us do laps and pushups and everything in between.

For 5 hours non stop! Thank god I did something like this when I was younger.

Isahai was drinking from a flask the whole time as he told us what to do.

He's on my kill list.

After we did the workout, they gave us 20 minutes to cool down before we had hand to hand combat. Even though I have been here a month, I haven't heard any of the 300 talk at all. Including me, I'm not here to make friends.

If I am forced to be here, at least let me take advantage of this. I want to get more powerful, and if this place doesn't work with me, I'll burn it to the ground.

After the break we have 2 hours of hand to hand combat. Switching between people and showcasing how we fight and how strong or fast we are.

It's in this big room that has a glass casing at a higher level for the uppers to see.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, there are people higher than the Kachi, or commanders.

They are the colours.

Yes, the colours.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, pink, black and white.

White being the Zeokage. And black being the shadow kage.

They were really serious about being a village.

The other colours were just people who are incharge of a respected area, with the Kage as the top. To make this quick, I won't go into detail about them.

Because they are not important.

Surveillance -yellowPolice -redLaw - orangeDefence - violetOffence - pinkFood - indigoHealth - greenArchitecture - blue

And quickly back to the other ranks

Mudana (futile) - HomelessButtai (object) - WorkersRieki (profit) - TraineeKonomashi (favorable) - ShinobiKachi (worth) - CommandersThey made this whole system and seriously thought that I would willingly remember this. The important colours that I have to remember are pink and yellow.

Offence and surveillance.

Right now I am under pink, I am being trained for offence.

Surveillance is important because the person in charge is a sensory type, they're the one who makes sure that no one comes in, and no one comes out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hitori, look alive!" I snapped out of my daydream and continued to fight this random guy. He was fine, I guess.

But I'm not going to show off, someone tried that and it didn't end well.

Oh, and my name was changed. Hitori is my new name.

They rename those who don't have names with numbers, but thoes with potential have actual names.

"Assholes," I muttered, kicking the guy's leg from under him. He fell hard and I helped him up.

We both nodded at each other and went to sit down as we waited for new partners.

Having a whole new identity is hard, but it isn't as hard as dying and waking up in a different universe. So I'm used to it. I even dyed my hair a different colour.

White, opposite colour of black.

If it got out that an Uchiha, and a girl at that, survived. I don't even want to think about it.

"Next!" yelled Isahai.

I rolled my eyes and got in a fighting stance with a new person. It's another guy, but he had green hair.

I sighed and started to fight him. He was weak, but he had good eyes. He could guess my next move but his body couldn't keep up.

It's like when Uchiha's first have their sharingan.

Interesting.

I keep up the fighting for another few minutes before I knock him on his back. I offer my hand but he doesn't take it.

He must be new.

I shrugged and walked away. I don't need to be nice at all, this place is just a trial for me.

Just another step to become more powerful.

I need to become more powerful to survive.

I have survived.

But now...

I need to endure.

A/n I know there is a lot and I know you want more chapters in the 'main' story but I just needed to write this for myself. I had this whole backstory planned out but it seems like a lot of stuff. Which it is, so take all this with a grain of salt. Enjoy~

A/n I also forgot, this is my last day of freedom. I am so sad! School and I have a love hate relationship. But ya, I will try to continue the 'chapter every 2 days' thing. But understand if I can't make it sometimes. Because I actually enjoy making this story. Goodbye freedom, hello school! Enjoy~
