ch 6 - you can call me N. pt. 2

The hokage and inoichi arrived at the hospital room Naruto's in. It's almost night time and Naruto is still sleeping peacefully. He should've woken up a couple of hours ago but he didn't. The doctors said there's nothing wrong with him and he's just sleeping because he's exhausted.

"Go ahead inoichi." The hokage ordered. Inoichi got close and performed the technique that allows him to go through people's memories. And the next second he was already in Naruto's mind.

…

He appeared in a well-lit hallway with vibrant orange painted walls with portraits hanging on the walls, the images on the portraits were moving and were playing what he thinks are Naruto's memories. There's one from what he observed to be the top of the fourth hokage, one from the swing in front of the academy and many more, all viewed from Naruto's perspective.

'this is strange, I haven't seen someone's mind manifest a place for the purpose of acting as a storage for memories.' he thought, clearly weirded out by the strange occurrence on Naruto's mind.

Normally a person's mind would store memories in a single place that is easy to access to someone from the yamanaka clan, but Naruto's mind seems to be an anomaly as it created a place for the sole purpose of storing memories. Making it time consuming to navigate and a pain to sort which is which for him.

He continued walking, seeing more portraits but nothing unusual with them. He walked forward for what seems to be hours not finding anything unusual in the memories. All of them either consist of Naruto exploring the village, training in the woods and goofing around the village, though He noticed that as he continued walking forward through the hallway, it gradually became dimmer and dimmer, and the walls became drained of the vibrant orange it previously had. Leaving it with a dark tint of orange with a little mix of crimson red in it. The portrait frames that were previously made of metal are now replaced by the dark color of old rotted wood.

He looked back to see if the previous part he was in was still the same and it wasn't. The previous part that he was in also turned gloomy and gained a depressing aura. He returned walking and observed more portraits.

The faces that appeared in the portraits then became distorted and horrifying. They would say words that would hurt Naruto and make him close his eyes causing the moving pictures within the portraits to turn black.

'is this how Naruto sees the villagers? As faceless monsters that only existed to haunt him and judge him at every step? A child should not think like this' even inoichi knows that what the villagers are doing was bad for Naruto but he didn't think it was this bad.

'It is possible that he hid his emotions too much and now they're starting to corrupt him, because so far I haven't seen a single aspect that suggests that the kyuubi is involved.' his first assumptions were wrong but no one was there to correct him.

After walking for a few more minutes, he reached what seems to be the end of the now dimly lit hallway. In front of him was a door made out of the same dark rotted wood on the portraits. He slowly walked towards it, the anticipation in him was notable. He gripped the knob and was about to turn it when suddenly… a voice was heard from behind him.

"You're wandering where you shouldn't be, Shinobi-san." The voice said, sounding awfully like Naruto but a little distorted and with malice alongside it.
