2 Chapter 2: The Options
Hiroshi sees the door in all of its glory as he slowly swims towards it hoping that it will leading him to somewhere new.
And maybe I could be able to sit down..I am getting quite tired from all of the swimming that I am doing here.
He had swum only a few meters. It felt like a eternity for him. Just kicking and kicking and kicking and kicking, it reminded him a lot of that movie he watched when he was younger it was called finding Nemo. Dory the fish kept saying "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming" and it reminded him a lot of that.
Those were the days…but I guess that was the end of my life. And it's time for me to make my way towards heaven!
Hiroshi was getting closer and closer to the door that just remained open until he eventually finally made it to the door
Finally!! Adventure! Here I come!
He looks to his left then his right, before just jumping straight into the door. He expected there to be some white pearly gates and the sounds of angels calling his name…but the only thing that he got was a dark room and a chair. And he was somehow sitting on the chair
Where in the world am I? Am I not in heaven? I thought I would have made it-
His thoughts were cut off by a voice
"You are Hiroshi correct?" The voice said from the darkness. Hiroshi had absolutely no clue where that voice was coming from as he looks left and right to try and pinpoint the exact location
"Who are you? And why am I not able to see you?" Hiroshi shouts out towards the empty void. Nothing could be heard for a while…until the voice speaks up again
"It's only because I am in the shadows. If I came out then you probably would see me" The voice says again
"So why don't you show me who you really are." Hiroshi speaks out to the void again. This time no answer was heard by what Hiroshi said, but he could faintly hear the sound of…shoes clicking?
Hiroshi immediately tenses up thinking that it may be someone who is trying to kill him….or maybe it could be one of the debt collectors trying to get their money back!
Calm down, calm down! Maybe I am just overthinking it. Yeah! I am overthinking it! It's not going to be anything….
Hiroshi can't believe his eyes as he sees a figure approaching him that looks very similar to the girl that he saw about 20 minutes before he died
"Y-you.." Hiroshi slowly points at the woman as she just smiles
"Didn't expect to see me huh?" The woman still smirking walks closer and closer to Hiroshi
"B-but how did you..? W-why are you…? Since when did..?" Hiroshi can't finish off any of his sentences. He is stunned beyond comprehension that the woman would be here right now. She smiles and sits on his lap.
"It seems you have a lot of questions….dont worry..I'll answer them for you.." The woman strokes Hiroshi's chin causing him to red a little
"H-how are you here?" Hiroshi asks the first question on his mind
"Because I am not a real person Hiroshi. I am but a mere decider." The woman answers Hiroshi's question
"What do you mean by that?" Hiroshi looks at the woman as she gets off his lap and stand back up again
"I knew you were going to die. Which is why you saw me in the first place." The woman looks at Hiroshi
"So…your telling me that you knew I was going to die which is why you decided to be there at that moment?" Hiroshi looks at the woman as she just nods
"I was going to be the one who decides whether you go to either heaven or hell." The woman looks at Hiroshi
"I would ultimately like to go to heaven please" Hiroshi smiles but the woman looks at him with a normal expression
"You can't go to heaven or hell Hiroshi."
"What do you mean by that?" Hiroshi looks at her with a shocked expression
The woman looks down at the dark ground before just smiling and looking at Hiroshi
"I've decided to give you a second chance at a life!" She smiles
"…..you can do that?" He looks at her with a confused expression
"I am the decider after all. I can do what I want. So…where would you like to go to with your second chance at life.." The woman looks at Hiroshi
"I would like to go to the-"
"Naruto world. Yes I knew you were going to say that"
Hiroshi was in shock
"But how? How did you know I was going to say that?"
"You see when you saw me that time in your limo. Who did I look a lot like to you?" Hiroshi thinks for a moment but realises what she is talking about
"You looked just like Tsunade…" The woman nods as she realises that Hiroshi is catching onto what he is saying
"Good…now. The one thing I can do is grant you three wishes. You will bring those traits and/or characteristics into the Naruto world with you"
Hiroshi looks at the woman before thinking about the things he would want to bring into the Naruto world..but his mind goes blank
"I can give you some prompts if you'd like" The woman smiles
"That would be much appreciated" Hiroshi smiles also
"Okay, the first wish will be based around your elemental affinity and which one you would like to have"
It's clear that I want to become the strongest person so I must pick the strongest chakra nature. Fire is a no go since Kishimoto doesn't give it much love, I would never choose earth because it's too basic, I wouldn't give water a try since either wind or lighting are the better ones to have….
Hiroshi thinks for a bit as he weighs up all of the options that he has
"So Hiroshi…what will be your answer?" The woman asks
"I would like my elemental affinity to be lighting please"
It's the best one out of all the chakra natures, it's the most powerful and the most versatile one out of them
"Okay then! Let's move onto the next one then. Would you like a large chakra pool or not?"
That one is a no brainier! Who wouldn't want to have a large chakra pool. All of the strongest shinobi have massive chakra pools
"I would like to have a large chakra pool please. One similar to that of a full-blooded Uzumaki please"
"Good choice, good choice. Now onto the next one…what sort of knowledge what you like to have in the Naruto verse?"
That one is a tricky one. It's good to be quite knowledgeable about something in terms of the Naruto verse so that I can understand more and get a better understanding of the lore and the world. It would also make me stronger as well
"I would like to have knowledge…on sealings just like the ones that the Uzumaki's know and I would want to have some knowledge on yin and yang please" Hiroshi smiles at the woman as she smiles back
"That is everything Hiroshi. Now it's time for you to venture into the Naruto verse"
Hiroshi turns and sees a door slowly opening. He turns round to the woman and bows
"Thank you kind woman for everything you have done"
"Please…just call me Avery" Avery smiles as Hiroshi smiles
"Could I ask something really quickly?" Hiroshi has a perverted look on his face
"Sure what is it?"
"Could I…could I see your-"
Hiroshi can't finish his sentence as he gets sucked right into the door
Damn it!!!
