I would be more then happy to correct any illogical scenario, grammatical mistakes or any other suggestion.

When I woke up, I found myself in hospital. I guess, i overdid the training. Nurse came after some time. What she told me, completely caught me off guard. I felt pretty depressed after what she told me.

She said that I have accumulated a lot of internal injuries over time. She advised me not to do physical training for atleast 3 months. If i did then i would be damaging my body and bones.

When I was returning home from hospital, I sighed. I had a speculation before but now after asking nurse. I felt pretty stupid myself.

I thought if you work hard enough then anybody could become powerful like Might Guy or Rock lee. But again I was dead wrong. These people are also blessed with better gene, so that they could persist this stressful training. Or may be it is the way they trained could be special.

I have the same symptoms like athletes gets after extreme workout in my previous world. That's why proper rest is needed and excessive training only under coach is advisable for world class athletes.

Only now i realized, not everybody could become powerful taijutsu user if he trained hard enough.

Two days have passed after coming back from hospital..

Although, in animation they never mentioned it but powerful families uses herbs to soak body to relieve fatigue. They have some special diet so that their body could remained okay even after exercise.

Then, I recall the Fog's Village Ninjas who are almost like tools for authorities. I don't think that anyone could work harder than them. Technically, they should also have high physical properties from other ninjas but it is not the case. So, again it comes down to gene. In this fantasy world if you have better parents or lineage only then you could surpass certain limits.

After analyzing this result, Although I felt a little distressed but I recovered fast. I don't know why, I started remembering my last life.

During previous life before dying, I realized that why it took so long for me to get back on feet. 

I wasted  almost 10 years because of my addiction. My social circle got smaller. I broke so many promises that I started fearing to make any more promises.

So, I concluded that it was all because I couldn't keep my momentum or discipline. Even if I recovered and started doing good, relapse will definitely occur. There will come time when I would be tempted to indulge in my addiction again.

This repeat of cycle, made me so anxious and fearful that I lost confidence in doing anything significant. Because I felt that I could not be trusted.

So, I made a mental note of my own to always keep my discipline and not fall again in that cycle. No matter how depressed you feel, keep working hard until you find your direction. Losing discipline is starting point of birth of negative emotions. These emotions leads us to do something which we regret doing or wasting a lot of time.

My negative emotions have calmed down, I need to think of what should i do in future.

First, becoming a ninja is almost foregone conclusion.

Second, I also cannot become taijustsu user. Atleast, I need some secret technique which can heal internal injuries.

"Lets, move on." I encouraged myself.

I started looking for new direction.

2 more months have passed.

Ninja school do not provide any technical help to me anymore. My power isn't increasing anymore.

After attending school for another 2 months, I have decided to leave. I guess, If I could not become powerful then at least should gain materialist power. There are other methods but to get those things may be, I will need power of money.

Once some one asked batman what is his superpower then he proudly said " I am rich". I agree somewhat with this statement. I heard so many business man could drive ninjas or even could buy ninjutsu with money.

I explored some ways in food, clothing or other business fields. I realized that none of the large money making business can be done within short time. I would become a middle aged uncle until I earn that much money. And I don't think that becoming powerful at that age would matter.

Foods and arms are most profitable business where people fight constantly. And both business at large scale are very dangerous. Ninja clans, nobles and many other powerful people are in monopoly of it.

Ultimately, relatively easy and less dangerous to make money is to write books. So, I will have to think of a good script.

I invited Jiraya to ramen shop. We ordered ramen and start eating.

Jiraya asked " So have you decided?"

"Yeah, I don't feel that i would gain any benefit of continuing on path of ninja" I said.

I diverted the topic.

"I heard that Tsunade will become disciple of Hokage."

Jiraya nodded and envied "she is lucky".

"I heard Hokage would take 2 more disciples."

Jiraya nodded in anticipation.

"You also rank 3rd in the whole class. So, Orochimaru who remained 1st and you will also have pretty good chance to become disciples of hokage." I said.

"I guess" He grinned.

I said "then, I would need some of your help."

"what kind of help?" Jiraya asked.

"I want to publish a book. And to make deal with book publisher I need your reputation. Other wise he will probably cheat me on some financial aspects." I said

" he he." he smirked "well, okay but in return you have to treat me to ramen"

"okay" I smiled back. I guess with reputation of third hokage's disciple. I would be able to meet the publisher.

We parted ways and I bought some papers and pen.

To be continued...

I try to make a story where any person if went to fantasy world, would do. Protagonist will make normal choices which best suits his survival in the world. Normally, very few people will have hero complex in this situation. Majority will make neither good or bad choices.
