Naruto the Blood Prison

The World of the Self Part 5

Day 5

"Naruto Uzumaki, come out!" The door of the isolation room opened and the warden's response was heard. "Today your isolation sentence is over!"

Naruto's body stood up in a daze filled with wounds and dirt, and gave off a pungent body odor. The cheeks that were scratched the moment he was hit by Togan, were already covered in scabs.

The first thing the guards did was to have Naruto take a bath. The journey from Konohagakure Village to Hozuki Castle is taken in 8 days. While bathed in a cold splash of water, Naruto tried to count with his head that had been slower in thinking. His escape plan on the first day failed, and suddenly he had to be locked in an isolation room for 3 days. This time he was locked up for 5 days. 8 + 3 + 5.....

'This is my first bath in 16 days.....'

The dirt that was rinsed from his body even felt piled up in the heart.

16 days.

It feels like 16 years.

'Right now, what are the villagers doing, huh?'

Even if he does not exist, nothing will change from Konohagakure Village. Naruto raised his face, letting his tears flow along with his bathwater. Shikamaru must be playing Shogi, Choji is eating potato chips, Ino is watering flowers, Sakura is studying ninjutsu medical techniques from Tsunade.

'Have I ever killed anyone who is completely innocent of you, for the sake of protecting the village?'

'You've dumped the village, you know, you fool!'

'What does the village mean to you?'

Naruto punched the bathroom tile wall, as if trying to destroy the sound that kept buzzing inside his head. Finished bathing, Naruto staggered back to the canteen with his head bowed in lethargy. It feels very tired because he uses too much brain that is usually rarely used to think hard.

In addition, the food in the isolation room is only in the form of canteen leftovers, and is only served once every day. Hungry for his stomach, it felt like Naruto could eat a round cow.

For him to enter the cafeteria, the prisoners who had hitherto been full of vigor, immediately stopped talking to them. They all followed Naruto in line at the food division line, with a cloudy look.

"Oooh, there's ramen in Kusagakure too, huh?" Naruto wiped his saliva, then exclaimed to the person in charge of the food division. "Uncle, I also want ramen, dong!"

But he got nothing in return.

"Give it to me, dong! My stomach is hungry!"

That's when a tall, sturdy man stood from his chair to make a 'graak' sound'. His thick lips frowned, his forehead wrinkled, and he walked towards Naruto quickly. He's a big, bearded guy.

"A, what's up....." Naruto took a swipe. "If you want to eat ramen, you have to line up, uncle."

His chest puffed up as if he wanted to intimidate the young man before him. Next, he imitated the deep air, then clapped his hands softly.

"..... eh?"

As if infected, the other prisoners also clapped, and knew that the entire cafeteria was filled with applause. The prisoners one by one barred, then swatted Naruto proudly.

"A, what's going on?" Naruto could only be dumbfounded amid the clapping and whistling sounds that surrounded him. "He he..... I don't understand what's going on, anyway, but..... Yaaay!"

The applause was loud.

His hunger disappeared. Naruto climbed onto the long table and brought out the victory pose with his hands. "Thank you, thank you! I am Naruto Uzumaki from Konohagakure! Please help from now on, yes!"

Everyone laughs at once. That was when the big man finally opened his mouth. "Right now, you've become the hero of this place, you know."
