Chereads / Rebirth in Konoha: The Leaf Surgeon / Chapter 5 - Ch5: Dreams

Chapter 5 - Ch5: Dreams

Narrator

The rays of sunlight passed through one of the half-open windows of the orphanage waking up little by little the children who were sleeping peacefully, the young black-haired boy who was trying to rest after a strange day was awakened by the sounds of bunk beds creaking.

The boy slowly opened his eyes and looked around him with some surprise, but after a while he seemed to remember something and his eyes changed to compressive ones.

POV YASUKE

I woke up to the sound of the creaking of the old bunk beds of the orphanage, as I opened my eyes I saw my surroundings, somewhat confused since I still didn't get used to the idea of having transmigrated to a world of ninjas.

Putting that aside, I guess I'll get used to it sooner or later, watching the other kids get up and head to the bathroom for a morning wash, and then head to the main dining room, I followed them silently and without communicating with anyone.

Or so I was doing until a young blond boy at the front of the group turned around and raising his voice along with one of his hands being waved in the air

-Yasuke, how are you doing, you know I was really scared yesterday, I thought you were dying, hahaha," said the blond scratching his head.

-Well, if someone would normally enter a room where there are supposed to be people resting, it could have been avoided- I said in an annoyed way.

-Yeah, well, you'll forgive me, won't you? and he put his hands together as a sign of supplication.

-Aah, I guess I will, besides, you're just a kid.

-Hey, so are you

-Yeah, whatever you say

-Mmm, well as compensation for yesterday, I'll take you to Konoha today.

-No need, besides, I'm a little tired with everything that happened yesterday.

-Well, relax with a good breakfast, I'm sure you'll get enough energy.

-Hey, but I don't...

-Let's go, let's go." And without letting me finish talking, he extended his hand, put it around my neck and ran out to the dining room.

15 minutes later

I don't know how I got to this situation, to my left I had a blond troublemaker who kept talking excitedly about how wonderful it was to be a ninja.

And to my right the girl who called herself Nonoe was looking at me with interest, sometimes nodding, and other times asking me how I was feeling.

I asked her why she sat next to me and asked me these strange questions, her answer was that I was a patient and she was in charge of my care.

I finished eating and was ready to escape, but Minato quickly stopped me.

-Oh Yasuke you're done, wait for me and I'll take you around the village.

-Minato, I..." But before I finished speaking another voice rang out.

-Yasuke can't go out, he is sick, and he has to rest.

The person who spoke was none other than the girl on my right, and even though I felt strange I had to try to hold on to this excuse.

-I think..." Again I was interrupted, but this time by Minato.

-No, Yasuke and I agreed to go to the village, so I can show it to him.

-Yasuke can't go out, he is a patient and he has to rest.

-Yasuke doesn't need to rest, he will accompany me.

And so a discussion with absurd reasons for their respective arguments began to unfold.

15 Minutes Later

After fifteen long and painful minutes passed, Yasuke who could no longer stand how they decided for him, without even asking him for his opinion, shouted to stop them.

-Enough!!!" Yasuke shouted, "Shut up now, and don't decide for me!

After the shout Minato and Nonoe had the decency to at least look embarrassed.

Yasuke smiled, and when he was about to say that he wouldn't do anything they said a voice behind him sentenced him.

-It seems that for only having been here a few days, you are already very popular, why don't the three of you go to the village to settle this, so Minato can show you the village and you Nonoe can accompany him to take care of it" This was the voice of grandmother Nora who seemed to have been watching the conflict with an amused smile.

Yasuke who wanted to complain, again had no say, because before he could open his mouth the other two had already agreed.

-Okay, as you say grandmother Nora," answered the two children at the same time.

Door of the orphanage 15 minutes later

-Okay, then the first thing will be the hokage monument," shouted an excited blond.

-Yesssssss!!!" answered an also happy Nonoe.

-Aaahh- sighed Yasuke- I guess at least I'll learn more about this place.

-That's the spirit, now let's go

And so an afternoon of sightseeing took place, at the first destination they visited the hokage monument, Minato loved it and after several praises about how amazing the hokages were we left the mountain

The second trip was to the town's shopping plaza, Nonoe like every girl was excitedly looking at the clothes and toys, however sadly they had no money for anything, and as orphans they had no parents to ask for money.

Seeing Nonoe trying hard not to show her sadness, Yasuke felt something hit his heart, he felt as if he had failed at something.

After seeing this Minato and Yasuke agreed to try to get something to buy something for the little girl.

And so while Nonoe continued to look around the stores, Minato and Yasuke talked to the merchants, promising to work as delivery boys, or small jobs for the next week in exchange for some of their products.

The shopkeepers at first not interested, but fell for it when they saw the sad look on the little girl's face.

Now the group of three headed for the hospital, Yasuke's chosen location.

On the way there, while Yasuke listened carefully as Minato explained to him that he would soon start training, ready to go to ninja school.

Nonoe behind them carried a princess crown and some more toys, and walked with a tender smile.

In the hospital of Konoha, Yasuke saw some of the facilities that could be accessed, he also asked some ninja doctors, who looked at him with some humor, because seeing a boy of about 5 years old asking for medical methods is not something you see every day, but they answered some of his questions.

After the visit to the hospital the 3 children walked in the direction of the forest where they found a small waterfall and some stones to sit on while looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them

-Guys, I had a great time, thank you very much," said a happy Nonoe.

-It was nothing Nonoe- said the blond, who then turned to Yasuke- by the way Yasuke, I'm sorry if we made you do something I didn't want to do, but I really wanted to apologize for yesterday.

-Well, it's not like I had a bad time, and besides I learned more about the village and the ninjas.

-I'm glad you're not upset

-Now Minato, I have a question, why do you talk so much about ninjas and hokage?

-Because I want to be one, no, I want to be more than a ninja, I want to be a hokage.

At that moment Yasuke could swear he saw Naruto's shadow on Minato.

-Oh well, so that's your dream?

-Yeah I guess it could be, so what would be yours?

-Ours?" asked Nonoe.

- Yes, your dream," explained the blue-eyed young man.

-I guess mine is to be like Grandma Nora, so that I can help more children like us.

-Oh, how sweet," said Yasuke.

Nonoe blushed when she heard those words.

-And you Yasuke, what is your dream?

-I don't know, maybe to be a medical ninja to help people?

-A medical ninja, I think you could be better," said the blond.

-You mean better?" answered the boy in the hat.

-Yes, since I will be the hokage, you will be the best medical ninja and we will help the village.

-I don't know if

-Yes, yes, we will all fulfill our dreams," said Nonoe, "I will take care of those children who are left homeless and give them a home.

-I will become the hokage," continued Minato.

- ...

When I didn't get an answer they both turned their heads and looked at me with expectation etched on their faces.

"Well I guess it's just a kid's game, I'll play along"- thought Yasuke.

- That, and I'll be the best ninja doctor.
