Mob without system in Naruto world

Chapter 9: What’s important



When I opened my eyes I was confused.

A white ceiling and rhythmic beep sounds.

"Oh you are awake, let me get the doctor and your mother."

Doctor? Does it mean I'm in a hospital?

I remember now...I trained and wanted to test something out...

Shit...if I'm in the hospital it means it's pretty serious...my mum will kill me...

"EIJI!!!"

My mum stormed into the room with teary eyes and instantly hugged me.

"I'm sorry Eiji...I should have observed your training...I'm sorry..."

Fuck...I thought she will be furious...but if she behaves like that it makes me feel like shit...

"Sorry mum...it's my fault..."

"I'm just glad that you are okay..."

"Ahem, excuse me but since he is awake now I need to give the medical report."

"Sorry, we are listening."

"No, it's okay. Anyway, his right hand was heavily damaged. We could fix it for the most part, but there are still complications that will stay. I'm sorry to say this but he will only be able to make crude movements; he won't be able to use things like chopsticks or hand seals with his right hand. I'm telling you this because both of your parents are shinobis and you are probably thinking about becoming one too, but I advise you to pursue other career paths instead."

So it was a pretty serious injury?

That's...I should have definitely been more careful and I shouldn't have used my physical body to run experiments...

After realizing what the doctor said my mum broke down into crying again while hugging me tighter.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Honestly, It all feels kinda surreal so I don't know if I'm supposed to cry as well...

After the crying of my mum stopped she told me that dad is soon returning from a mission and that we will also visit me.

It looks like she left in consideration of me and tried to hold back her tears.

I murmured to myself: "It's not like I cant become a shinobi with a crippled hand..."

I fell asleep but I instantly woke up because I heard someone scream from the floor outside: "EIJI!!!!!! EVEN IF YOU CANT BECOME A SHINOBI YOU STILL CAN FORM A HARE - BUUAAHHH -" "YOU COME TO YOUR INJURED SON AND THE FIRST THING YOU SAY IS SOME NONSENSE??!!!"

Suddenly it went quiet and then my mum opened the door with a smile to tell me: "Your father was delayed, so he will come to visit you a bit later, so you should sleep again."

"...okay"

"Hey Eiji, there is who wants to visit you."

"Is it Dad?"

"No, it's your friend so I let her in, okay?"

Tenten walks slowly into the room, not sure what to say.

"I heard of the injury...but I don't think it's important...I think it's more important that you are okay...so..."

"Thanks..."

"I know you wanted to be a shinobi but...I came to give you a gift...so please don't be sad..."

Tears start to form around her eyes while she said that.

Eiji fought that she is really adorable right now.

"A gift?"

"Sniff, yeah here..."

When Eiji saw that the gift was a Tsunade figure he recognized it, he suddenly broke out in laughter.

He recalled the times he was with his idiotic dad, his mum, and Tenten.

He thought to himself: I didn't want to admit this but I had a lot of fun, right?

"HAHAHAHA you are really....thank you but you can keep the figure since I don't plan on giving up on becoming a shinobi. You should know that a genius like myself won't be stopped by a small injury like that."

While he said that, Eiji smiled wholeheartedly for the first time since regaining his memories.

When Tenten saw that genuine and pure smile she blushed while keeping silent: "...."

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing...anyway if that's your answer I won't lose to you!"

Then she suddenly ran away.

"Huh, I don't remember her being a tsundere...no, I'm probably just imagining things..."

I have never written an emotional scene before, so I don't know how it turned out.
