Chapter 2 - Awakening

The spirit awakened slowly opening its eyes curiously observing its surroundings, which proved difficult until its eyes adjusted to the bright white light that surrounded it.
It's eyes landed on small pudgy hands… that seemed to be it's own?
It's thoughts abruptly interrupted by a pair of extremely large pale white hands that threatened to encompass its tiny body. Panicking and trying to get away it attempted to run , however to its dismay it was easily swept up into the hands of the large entity. It's thoughts of escaping were halted as a searing pain ran through its mind and its buttocks causing it to let out a shrill cry.

…
I reincarnated? No way, think think what did that God say? Entertainment? End my suffering? Fuck! I was tricked I really thought my life was over.
As Kelvin collected his thoughts, he looked round once more to find himself being watched endearingly by a pale young woman… with white hair?

Seeing her son and his curious eyes examining her so closely, she smiled and whispered by his ears

mummy and daddy love you dearly I'm sorry I'm so useless, I used the last of my life force and sealed it within you along with your inheritance, so that you know you do have a family and parents that love you…
and oh and how could I forget the first and most important inheritance I must give you. Your name, your name is Keitaro Uzumaki and you are the greatest achievement in my pitiful life.
As she said those depressing words the light faded from her eyes and her heartbeat stopped, however a soft smile lay on her face.
Kelvin or now ...Keitaro, faced with this situation felt unbearable sadness and helplessly wailed while the tears fell from his small eyes, although he had only known his birth mother for a few moments he felt the unending ocean of love she felt for him and vowed the new life she had given him would be lived to the fullest.

A figure in a black cloak and dog mask approached the body of the woman to read her pulse, after a short silence in a low yet confident and curt voice said
She's dead, follow the arrangements of the Hokage and send the boy to the orphanage after the correct amount of time has passed.
After he spoke those words he seemingly vanished into thin air.

Upon his exit a lady of small stature donned in a white Haori and a white hat that seemed similar to an old school sailors cap, slowly and solemnly trod over placed Keitaro in her arms and left. Keitaro wished to see where he was being taken but to his dismay all babies infamous ability was kicking in… unlimited naps!!
As Keitaro thought about the prospects of his new life, he gradually let sleep take him in the nurses warm embrace.

*3 YEARS LATER*

*hushed tones*
Look look it's the scarlet demon, shhhh look at his red eyes he's definitely a demon

Humph forget his eyes look at him, haven't you heard he's a Kumo spy

A spy?! No way the Hokage nor the anbu would allow a spy to roam freely in the village

Well that's true… but how do you explain his skin…

Keitaro strolled nonchalantly through the streets of Konoha, unperturbed by the hushed whispers and hostile gases thrown at him. His Uzumaki red hair with its own curly flair hung loosely by his shoulders, however it wasn't his blood red eyes or Scarlet hair that caught attention of most civilians… it was his skin. Dark brown skin glistened in the Konoha sun, revealing to all those with eyes that he wasn't exactly a native. Keitaro had pondered his heritage and how exactly he came to be born, but with all the knowledge of the plot he came up empty.

Keitaro had, had a harsh few years in Konoha. The matriarch of the orphanage he was placed provided 3 meals a day if that, on some particularly tough days Keitaro would be forced to fend for himself. He had no friends.
Due to his maturity and intelligence he stood out from the other kids, an alien in both appearance and mindset he was shunned by all. The young boy didn't mind though, he knew it was all ignorance and he would likely make friends in the ninja academy, clan kids were a little more educated and open minded. It wouldn't be easy but he was determined to find companions.

There was one ray of light in Keitaros dark 3 years, he had a big sis! She had a visited him the day after he was moved to the orphanage. She was a frequent visitor and his only friend, Keitaro was glad to have her around.
And thus brings us to the purpose of his stroll, his big sister promised that today would be the day she helped him refine his Chakra. Keitaro believed he had the ability to sense and refine his chakra on his own but his big sis had strictly forbade it, stating she would train his body until she felt he was ready to refine his chakra.
Although bummed at first Keitaro agreed because it would benefit him.
Chakra is a mixture of two primal energies, being; Physical energy( shintai enerugi) and Spiritual energy (seishin enerugi) other known as mental energy so by training his physical body, increasing his endurance and meditating he in turn would have more Chakra upon refinement.
Finally! Keitaro thought as he reached training ground 3!
This would mark the beginning of the Journey of the scarlet demon!
As he observed his surroundings his eye fell upon his big sister, round large dark blue eyes that looked caring and sweet. Quite short in stature, all in all Keitaro thought she was beautiful and her most striking physical quality… her red hair that truly made Keitaro feel at home. He smiled as her eyes landed on him, his big sis Kushina Uzumaki.

Ah Keitaro you're here are you excited? Kushina asked while grinning slyly

Of course! Ive been preparing for this my whole life !! Keitaro exclaimed

- _- you're only 3 you know replied Kushina

Hey exactly, so in my eyes it's been a long time! It's not my fault you're old!

As these words left Keitaros mouth Kushinaa fist slammed into the top of his head, while her hair flew about crazily as if possessed.

Say that again little brat I dara ya!

Ouch nee-san I was just kidding, you are the best and most beautiful kunoichi in the world!

You're damn right I am, Kushina yelled with a blush so red she really did resemble a tomato.

Now enough messing around get into meditation pose immediately! Yelled Kushina

Keitaro nodded with a wry smile and sat in lotus position. Kushina then placed her hands on his back and closed her eyes. Using the secret Uzumaki technique for refining chakra. Kushina helped Keitaro find his chakra by supplementing it with her own, slowly starting from the lower abdomen and moving to and through the heart and then circulating it anti-clockwise through the body. As the first lap completed.

*BOOOM*
A wave of chakra burst forth violently from Keitaros body, taking Kushina by surprise!
Pushing off her feet quickly in retreat, she was only slightly affected by the surge in chakra.


What a monstrous amount of chakra for his age. Even I didn't cause this much of a reaction! Looking at the strange scene before her

He has a bright future, her pride in her little brother gushing forth in that short sentence.

Huh why are his eyes still closed???
Is he ok?
