2 Chapter 2 - Survival
*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*
"Sukuna? Sukuna!" The young man opened his weary eyes to the sight of a beautiful blond-haired woman crying her eyes out while a short black-haired man lazily sat in a chair next to the hospital bed.
''Mom, too loud'' Sukuna said while rubbing his head, his mother's crying suddenly choked up as a small hand touched her face.
Sukuna's heart softened as he saw the dark circles underneath his mother's eyes, he slowly wiped her tears from her eyes as she gave her usual warm smile.
''Honey, can you tell me what happened?'' Ashina hugged her child gently as Sukuna was processing all the information he received.
He wasn't stupid, he knew that a kunai pierced his heart, and his left arm severed.
Loads of information was assaulting his brain, memories of the man's own world, his experiences, his memories. Sukuna was slowly orienting himself as a rude voice interrupted,
''Isn't it clear? He was targeted because he is the only one stupid enough to claim the Senju name''
Ashina and Sukuna's gazes turned stone cold as they looked at the man that was biologically his father.
''Atleast even if I die, I can face my ancestors. Unlike a little bitch that didn't dare to take on the Senju name'' Sukuna sneered as the man's facial expression turned cold aswell.
''Enough!" Ashina interrupted the two with a loud voice, Sukuna didn't pay any more attention to the man.
The man didn't continue either, a small *Humph* left his mouth as he stormed out the hospital room.
''Sukuna, he is still your father'' Ashina said with a bitter smile as Sukuna just continued to wipe away her tears.
"Respect him? He is just a drunk that is leeching off the Senju'' Sukuna said coldly.
Although he was quite tall for his age, he was still just 11 years old.
"Sukuna, don't talk about your father like that" Ashina said as she rubbed his head before her eyes grew solemn, "Sukuna, you really shouldn't claim our last name. You know what will happen if more people get to know of it''
''Mom, I will not change my last name. It might be foolish but that's pride. Look at how low the clan has fallen. The heir of the clan fled of her responsibilities, the male heir died, people in the clan fear to be hunted day in day out. I refuse to accept it'' Sukuna coldly said as he clenched his hands.
''*Sigh....* I really wish you just listened, I don't wish to be a mother that has to bury her own child" Ashina said with a sigh full of emotion.
''I'm sorry'' Sukuna apologized, only to get a flick to his forehead and a warm smile shown to him.
''I'm your mother, it's my duty to support you in your decisions. If only my own Chakra Paths weren't destroyed, you wouldn't have to shoulder everything on your own''
Ashina knew very well, there were only a few ninjas within the Senju's compound, many left because the constant targeting of others on their clan after it went into decline.
They didn't want to leave, but the last remaining elder of the family ''kicked them out''. This was just a last ditched effort to save as many as possible. Their files were erased as far as possible, their lives up until now were erased, forgotten and burned. Their houses destroyed and put on fire to destroy any remaining trace while the people wore disguises from that point on.
''Mother, I will continue living in the Senju compound, I'm sorry'' Sukuna apologized while his mother just sighed and rubbed his head with a bitter smile,
"Just promise me you won't die, okay?''
''Mmm, I promise. I feel alright now mom, go get some sleep'' Sukuna said with a warm smile, Ashina didn't refuse and said her goodbye aswell.
Sukuna patiently waited until his mother left, after he finally didn't notice her steps nor sense her anymore, he started rapidly making hand signs.
After a few seconds, a small mirror made out of chakra appeared on top of his right hand.

''Finally.... FINALLY! *Crack*'' Sukuna gripped the edges of the hospital bed hard enough to crush it. This technique was something he was born with, although it might not seem much, but this was actually really useful.
With this little technique he could track his improvement over time!
He could feel that his body's Chakra Pathways were widened by atleast 4 to 5 times compared to before. He could feel the surrounding Chakra flowing into him like he was some kind magnet.
He wasn't a pure-blooded Senju and he didn't expect it to awaken before this.
'Those camel humping Shinobi after my bloodline actually did have some uses to them' Sukuna sneered before he felt someone coming closer.
*Knock* *Knock*
Before Sukuna could even reply, the door was pulled open and noisy chattering filled the hospital room.
''What did you say? I dare you to say that again!'' A blond-haired short kid said with an angry face.
''What? Got a problem with it, weakling?'' A raven-haired emo-looking kid said with a sneer on his face.
''Says the person that couldn't even steal Kakashi Sensei's bells on his own with his 'oh-so-mighty' Sharingan!'' The orange-haired kid said with a laugh, which in turn pissed the raven-haired boy off.
''Well, well, enough now''
The people that came in weren't unfamiliar to Sukuna, he naturally did his fair share of studying and that included the last of people that graduated recently.
''Hey, I am-'' Before Kakashi could introduce himself, Sukuna started talking out loud to what he had read,
''Kakashi Hatake, EX-Anbu, Jonin-Sensei, Sharingan Possessor.''
Kakashi looked at Sukuna who had a small smile on his face and said, ''Old habits die hard''
''I see, do you also know who these three are?'' Kakashi said as he motioned to the group beside him.
''Hey! We have names you know!'' Naruto held up his fist at Kakashi but Sukuna already interrupted with, ''I know''
''O...oh, I see" Naruto deflated which caused Sakura to laugh behind her hand and Sasuke to have a small smile on his face.
''Perfect, that saves us time. Do you know what happened on your mission?'' Kakashi asked with a questioning gaze.
The other three notably perked up their ears to listen since they had no idea, they only knew Kakashi had found a young Genin heavily injured and brought him back to the village.
Sukuna looked at Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura before looking back at Kakashi who understood his gaze and said, ''You three wait outside''
''Aah man! It was just about to get interesting!'' Naruto complained.
''Tch'' Sasuke clicked his tongue while walking to the door. Sakura just followed and didn't say much but she couldn't help but be curious as well. Naruto soon followed, still grumbling about the fact that he couldn't hear the story.
''We were ambushed, Libe-Sensei fought five Jonins on his own and managed to kill one, afterwards the other four got dragged down with him in a desperate suicide attack.'' Sukuna calmly explained, Kakashi's eyes revealed slight sorrow for less than a second before it returned to being the same deadpan look again.
''I see, but we didn't find the corpses of your two teammates. Do you know what happened with them?''
''They ran'' Sukuna said coldly, Kakashi's gaze also became stone-cold as he added, ''I will make sure their families get investigated and they will be considered Rogue Ninja's from this point on''
''No need'' Sukuna smiled lightly. Kakashi sent him a questioning gaze before Sukuna's smile grew quite ominous.
''The two dismembered corpses are theirs and they were orphans''
Kakashi didn't tremble in fear nor was he shocked, He had seen worse things in his life as a Shinobi. he just asked ''So you killed them after they deserted their mission, right?''
''Yes, I kept everything according to the Shinobi-law. They fled, I killed them, used their corpses as bait with explosions. Shame they only took 1 or 2 people with them though'' Sukuna shrugged, not showing any emotion to having killed the team members he had been with for a year since his early graduation.
''You should have put the paper on their necks instead of their ribcage, the neck gives less resistance so it doesn't take so much momentum from the explosion'' Kakashi said while nodding his head, Sukuna slapped his thigh in enlightenment.
''Then how about the inside of the wrist as well?'' Sukuna asked with sparkling eyes.
''That would be a feasible option, but mostly with medical Ninja's. Trained Ninja's have a lot of muscle fiber in their wrist due to Kunai training or other Elemental Jitsu's'' Kakashi said while grabbing a scroll from his pocket to note down what Sukuna just said.
''I see. By the way, did you find me?'' Sukuna asked
''Yes, within the pile of 17 bodies in fact'' Kakashi said and indicated his curiosity once more, this child was a year younger than his own team, but he killed 12 Genin's including a team that was about to take part in the Chuunin's exam + a team of Chuunin's and that all in one fight without rest.
Although he was confident about his own team, he didn't expect them to be able to do the same.
''I owe you one'' Sukuna said with a sincere tone that finally made Kakashi intrigued, the child didn't act nor spoke as an 11 year old.
''I don't let any of my comrades die'' Kakashi said before turning away, ''As for that favor, I will have you join a mission with my team.''
[A/N: No, 'they' are not going to be buddy-buddy. It's because of something later in the story don't worry]
Sukuna just sighed and got out of bed. He stayed here for long enough. Considering the memories he had now about combat and even his own world in fact.
'That world... It's too advanced compared to my world' Sukuna said with a bitter smile as the memories of all the technology of Earth slowly placed itself into his brain.
