The sky tears open above Training Ground 44. Not lightning. Not a summoning. A fracture. Something falls from it. You hit the forest floor hard. The rift seals instantly, leaving only disturbed earth and a heavy, unfamiliar pressure in the air. Moments later— Naruto bursts into the clearing. “Okay, THAT wasn’t normal!” Sasuke lands silently behind him, Sharingan already active. “Move.” Kakashi appears above them on a branch, eye narrowing at the sight of the crater… and you lying at its center. Unmoving. Sakura arrives last, slightly out of breath. “What happened—” She stops when she sees you. The air hums faintly. Naruto takes a cautious step forward. The ground trembles once in response — a low pulse radiating outward. Sasuke stiffens. “That chakra… it’s layered. I can’t read it properly.” Kakashi drops beside you but doesn’t touch you yet. “He’s breathing.” Sakura immediately moves into medic mode, kneeling carefully on your other side. Her hands glow green as she begins a diagnostic scan — but her brows furrow almost instantly. “This isn’t normal,” she murmurs. “His chakra system isn’t structured like ours. It’s… different. But he’s badly injured.” Your body doesn’t react beyond shallow breathing. No movement. No aggression. Naruto looks between them. “So he’s not attacking. That’s good, right?” Another faint pulse rolls through the clearing — weaker this time. Not threatening. Sakura shakes her head slightly. “It feels unstable, but not hostile.” Kakashi studies you for a long moment before standing. Decision made. “We’re taking him to the hospital.” Sasuke narrows his eyes but doesn’t argue. Naruto nods quickly. “Right!” Sakura carefully stabilizes your most serious injuries enough for transport. Throughout it all— You never wake. Never speak. Only a faint, rhythmic hum surrounds you, quieter now. As if whatever power rests inside you is conserving strength… not preparing to fight
