🔶 POV: Naruto (First-Person)
Walking back into Konoha feels normal.
Too normal.
Except for Sakura's fist still twitching like she wants to re-punch me for walking into the Infinite Hotel in the first place.
Jiraiya grunts.
Kakashi sighs.
And I'm carrying three receipts in my pocket from a hotel that technically exists outside existence.
Yeah. That's gonna be a fun explanation.
As we approach the Hokage's tower, Sakura elbows me.
"Don't say something stupid."
"How am I supposed to not say something stu—"
She raises her fist again.
I shut up.
🔶 POV: Sakura (First-Person)
If Naruto says one thing wrong, Tsunade-sama's going to hospitalize all of us out of stress.I can feel it.
🔶 POV: Jiraiya (First-Person)
I've seen a lot of strange things in my travels.
But an infinite extradimensional hotel run by a sarcastic faceless giant?
Even I'm having trouble processing that.
And I wrote a book about the history of chakra gods.
🔶 POV: Kakashi (First-Person)
Tsunade is going to kill us.
I can already hear her screaming.
⭐ The Hokage's Office
Tsunade is reading paperwork.
Shizune is sorting files.
Tonton is oinking peacefully.
The door opens.
Everyone in the room looks up.
Naruto opens his mouth.
"Okay so uh, we found a hotel—"
Tsunade:"…You WHAT?"
Her chakra pressure spikes so hard the windows rattle.
🔶 POV: Tsunade (First-Person)
"A HOTEL appeared outside the village and NONE OF YOU thought maybe that was a cosmic-level threat?!"
Jiraiya starts sweating.
Sakura bows.
Kakashi raises his hand politely like he's in class.
Naruto panics.(As usual.)
"What kind of hotel? Who owns it? Is it a genjutsu? Is it a hidden village trap? Is it a Sage thing? A bijū thing? Otsutsuki?!"
🔶 POV: Shizune (First-Person)
I already want to faint.A building materializing that close to the village is a level-red anomaly.
This is worse than Pain showing up.
🔶 POV: Kakashi (First-Person)
I step forward.
"It wasn't man-made. Or chakra-made. Or ninjutsu-made. Or physical-space-made."
That was probably the worst possible way to phrase it.
Tsunade stares at me with an expression that says:"I hate everything about what you just said."
🔶 POV: Jiraiya (First-Person)
Time to rip the bandage.
"Tsunade… the hotel is outside the Omniverse."
Silence.
Complete, absolute silence.
Followed by—
Tsunade:"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!?"
🔶 POV: ANBU Interruption
Two ANBU operatives burst into the room.
"Lady Tsunade! We detected a distortion in spatial fabric outside Gate 3!"
Tsunade points at our group.
"YES. THAT. THAT IS THEIR FAULT."
The ANBU stare.
"Did… did Uzumaki Naruto cause a cosmic anomaly?"
Sakura answers:
"No. He just walked inside it."
ANBU both make the exact same horrified inhale.
🔶 POV: Naruto (First-Person)
"I mean I didn't KNOW it was outside the Omniverse at the time—"
Tsunade slams her hands on the desk.
"NARUTO WHY WERE YOU IN IT TO BEGIN WITH!?"
"…It looked interesting."
I regret it instantly.
🔶 POV: Tsunade (First-Person)
Of course.
Of course the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki walked headfirst into a cosmic anomaly because "it looked interesting."
WHY do I even TRY to have normal days?
🔶 POV: Jiraiya (First-Person)
I decide to summarize, because Naruto is actively making things worse.
"The hotel is infinite. Its owner—Alex—is a faceless humanoid avatar controlling the structure.No fighting is allowed in the hotel.Weapons are confiscated automatically.Injuries disappear unless caused inside.Swearing near children is censored.Time does not pass inside.Currency converts.Infinite rooms.Infinite food.Infinite staff.Outside the Omniverse.Perfectly neutral."
There is a long pause.
Tsunade opens a drawer.
Pulls out a bottle.
Shizune does not stop her.
She drinks straight from it.
🔶 POV: Shizune (First-Person)
She didn't even pour it into a cup.
This is bad.
Very bad.
🔶 POV: Tsunade (First-Person)
"Let me get this straight.A cosmic hotel—that ENFORCES ITS OWNS RULES—that HEALS ANYTHING—that EXISTS OUTSIDE REALITY—popped up outside my village…And my idiot ninja just WALKED RIGHT INTO IT?!"
Everyone nods.
I age ten years in five seconds.
🔶 POV: ANBU (First-Person)
We write the report and quietly pray this is not the beginning of the apocalypse.
🔶 POV: Tsunade (First-Person)
"Okay.This is not a threat.It did not attack.It healed you.It allowed you to return.It did not damage Konoha."
She rubs her eyes.
"The hotel is to be watched from a distance.No provocation.No experiments.No entering without my approval."
Naruto raises his hand.
"What if it has more food—"
"NO."
He shuts up.
🔶 POV: Kakashi (First-Person)
We're dismissed.
Tsunade orders a small ANBU team to quietly monitor the site.
They look terrified.
I don't blame them.
🔶 POV: Naruto (First-Person)
As we leave, Sakura hits me again.
"You idiot."
Yeah… fair.
🔶 POV: Alex (Third-Person)
The Infinite Hotel stands quietly outside the Omniverse.
Alex sleeps.
Finally.
No one screaming.
No chaos.
Just peace.
For now.
