Chapter 90 - Naruto World. (Patreon)

Nahida arrived at the hospital feeling very nervous, but he tried to remain calm and was taken to his father's room by a nurse. The nurse bowed to Nahida and then walked away.

'... Let's go.' Nahida slowly opened the bedroom door. When he did, he saw his father lying on the bed, but his father was awake this time. He was even smiling, which Nahida didn't see very often.

Even when they lived together, his father hardly smiled. It was rare.

"Nahida, you've finally arrived! Your father has been looking forward to seeing you." Hearing the door, Nahida's mother stood up and hugged him tightly. Nahida could see that she was much better than before.

When he visited the hospital days ago, she was sad, but now she was cheerful.

"I'm here," Nahida said, stroking his mother's head. After his mother let him go, Nahida walked to the side of the bed and looked into his father's eyes after a long time.

'Just looking into his eyes makes me nervous...' Nahida thought. However, he stood his ground and continued to look into his father's eyes. The first thing Nahida said was, "How are you feeling?"

Nahida's father stared at him for a moment and then smiled. 

"I'm feeling much better thanks to you, son. Your mother told me that you paid for my surgery."

"It was no big deal. I couldn't let my father die, could I?"

"..." Nahida's father heard this and remained silent. Their relationship was very troubled.

"But don't worry about paying me back. My mother sent me a message saying she would do anything to pay me back, but I don't want the money back. What matters is that you're okay."

"But... I feel guilty for taking so much money from you."

"Don't worry. I don't need this money," Nahida replied, and her mother sighed with relief.

"Good... I was feeling so guilty." Listening to Nahida's mother, Nahida's father took her hand and held it tightly. 

"Our son is a real man now, isn't he? In the short time we haven't seen him, he's grown so much."

Hearing his father say that, Nahida didn't know how to feel. Should he feel happy? He didn't know.

"I'm still the same as ever, Dad."

"I think you've changed a lot, Nahida." His father said. "In the past, you looked so downcast all the time you hardly smiled, but now you look happy. And I'm sure it's not because I'm well."

"Of course, I'm happy that you're feeling good. But you're right... I've made some excellent friends, and my life has greatly improved. I feel much better about my life now."

"That's great to hear." Nahida's mother said. "I hope you stay friends with these people forever. I want to meet them one day; as soon as we leave the hospital, we'll visit you."

"You don't have to do that." 

"But of course we will!" Nahida's father exclaimed excitedly. "We want to meet our son's friends. You never had any friends when you were younger, so it's a surprise for us."

"Hey!"

"But it's true. Nahida was always a shy and quiet boy during his childhood. He didn't have many friends. I was always sad when I picked him up from school."

"I don't want to remember those things, Dad."

"Right, right, I'm sorry."

"Now I think I'll go home."

"What? Stay a little longer."

"I have something important to do today. I just came here to make sure you're okay. If I didn't come here, I'd  be worried and unable to focus."

"I understand. But remember, we're coming to visit you soon." Nahida's father held his hand to him, and Nahida took it.

"I'll be waiting for you two to visit."

Nahida hugged his mother before leaving the room.

'That was much easier than I expected.' Nahida smiled and walked out of the hospital feeling much calmer.

Nahida stopped by the market to buy a few things and then took a train back to his hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, he got help from Kelly to take all the bags to the kitchen. After, he took something to eat.

Nahida had been away for a few hours, so lunchtime was approaching. However, he decided just to have a snack, as he had plans for lunch.

So, after finishing his meal and taking a cold shower, Nahida once again picked up his backpack so that he could leave. And his destination? The world of Naruto. He had already made his decision. He was going to train there.

Nahida had never been a Naruto fanatic but always liked the jutsu techniques, the Chakra energy, and some characters.

'I want to meet some characters, but my main goal is to see if I can use Chakra and train some jutsu. I'm going there to get stronger.'

The threat of the church was enough to make Nahida a little paranoid.

Also, he felt that something worse could happen at any moment, so he wanted to get stronger.

If he couldn't get strong in Naruto's world, he would go to another world and then another. He wouldn't stop until he was satisfied.

"Nazuna, I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?"

"Somewhere really fun."

After opening the door, Nahida could see the figures of the Hokages.

'They've moved the hotel, but it's still very close to where it originally appeared. Right, let's go.'

Nahida closed the door, and as he did so, he began to feel many stares. And one of those looks was from someone he knew very well.

"Nahida?"

"Sakura."
