Naruto:

A Twisted Fairy Tale

 

 

 

 

I awake to a living manga. A world I had only glimpsed through the pages of translated manga. A place, so to speak, I had thought was not real, merely the figment of someone's imagination, a place I visited only in my dreams.

 

The last thing I remember is sinking into inky darkness, which spouted from a magazine I had been reading… I think. I'm not sure.

 

I awaken, as I say, to a living manga. My head hurts, my vision is blurry, but it slowly clears. I know I'm no longer in East Peoria, Illinois. As my vision clears, I realize exactly what has happened.

 

“AIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I scream. “I'M IN A MANGA!!!!” I begin to hyperventilate, the panic setting in. “what happ….end….” I look around, my vision has fully cleared. I first look over my own body, and discover, to my surprise, that my clothes have changed. No longer do I wear my typical black attire, but now I wear a new one, still black in color. I wear shorts, which are more like pants because they flow down to just above my ankles, but do not cover my shoes in any way. I wear a black shirt, which has a look similar to an undershirt., and over that, I have an open jean jacket, short cropped and not really made of jean material. The sleeves are rolled up, I see, and I unfurl them. They are, it turns out, very billowy sleeves, and they are only as long as my arms.

 

I begin to feel my face, breathing hard. The blemishes I have… had… they're gone… my skin is perfect and silky smooth. My glasses, nerdy large framed glasses, are replaced by smaller, round shaped glasses.

 

“I'm… I'm… I'm pretty…. I'm not fat any more…” I pat my now flat chest and abs, ecstatic. “I look good….” I smile, laughing. In the other world, I had always been rather hateful towards myself.

 

“OI! You there!” I turn, and see a face that I had only seen in a place I had read about, a place I had only visited in my dreams. “Ebisu…..” I whisper. I begin to laugh uncontrollably, barely managing to get the words, “I'm in Naruto…. Naruto!!!” I laugh some more. “I'm crazy crazy.. ha ha..”

 

“Are you alright?” Ebisu asks, and he cocks his head, peering at me. Slowly I calm myself, until I can nod. “I'm sorry…” I mumble, and I look up at him. “Where am I?”

 

“Konoha village. Or at least, nearby. You have heard of it?” I am surprised that he speaks English. But, it's all well and good, I suppose. I'll find out what's going on… maybe I'm dreaming again…

 

“You are?” he asks, hesitant. “I was sent here by out ruler, the Hokage. Who are you?”

 

I wonder how the Hokage knew I was here. But, I suppose he saw it in his crystal ball. “I…. I'm not sure who I am…” I rub my head, not sure of the name I should give. “Alright. Come with me please.”

 

“Alright.”, I am hesitant, afraid that this might be a big mistake for some reason.

 

 

 

 

 

The Hokage seems like a nice guy, but he asks way too many questions of me and I am not sure how to answer any of them. “Who are you?”

 

“I'm not sure… to be honest.”

 

“Where do you come from?”

 

“A place far away…”

 

“How did you get here?”

 

“I can't answer that either. I have no idea.”

 

“Yet, you are familiar with us….”

 

“Yes… I know all about this place. Well, not everything… One could say I'm psychic, but that's not true. I'm just extremely knowledgeable.”

 

“Fine, fine. You will be accommodated. You are welcome in our village.”

 

“Why? I am a stranger in this place, unwelcome and intruding.”

 

“I know another child like you. He is…. Well, never mind. You'll meet him soon enough.”

 

I am given 500 yen, and am told that I will be given a weekly allowance of the same. I am also told to enroll in the ninja academy. “You will use the name we give you.” I am advised.

 

“Trust me, child, you will grow accustomed to our home.”

 

The shock still hasn't sunk in completely, when I am shown to a school dorm room. I am still in a daze. I've already been enrolled in the academy, and am told that I will need tutoring and classes. The Hokage seems to believe fully in my capabilities.

 

The dorm room is vile, no carpet, no tile, no furniture, just a bare, splintery floor and a bare futon. I guess I'll get over it, eventually.

 

“Your classes start in a few minutes. I suggest you get going.” Ebisu comments. “At least, the noon time classes.”

 

I rush off, thanking him. Loneliness starts to set is as I walk through the academy doors. As I make my way to class, nerveousness sets in as well. There's no shame in that, is there? No, I don't think so. I take a glance at the schedule I am handed when I approach the front desk. It dawns on me that Iruka is my sensei.

 

IRUKA!!!

 

My mind races…. “Oh…..shit….” My mind becomes stuck in a gutter. “Shit shit shit SHIT!!!!”

 

I take a deep breath as I walk, to calm down. A few steps later, I am at the door to the classroom. I knock, and enter when Iruka says, “Come in.”

 

Three dozen students look at the complete stranger that has walked into their class. They've never seen me anywhere. In their minds, theyre silently asking, “Who the hell is this?”

 

I hand Iruka my schedule, and he acknowledges me. “Class, we apparently have a new student. His name is Kai
