As I open the door I freeze in shock as I start the distinct mask of Konoha's special force. The Anbu I see has a very clean mask that resembles a cat and they have a very relaxed and almost easy going posture that also reveals their gender quite plainly as a woman. 'Why the hell is an ANBU at my doorstep!?!?? Did they figure out I'm a reincarnation?! I'm not old enough to defend myself!?'
As I stand their unmoving the ANBU tilts her head down before patting me on the head?? "Ah....Sorry wrong house!" And after saying that they dissapear only leaving a few leaves behind!
.....Blinking twice to get the confusion out of my mind I gently shut the door before falling down to my knees. "What the hell man!!?" And in my heightened emotion and childish body I start to cry to cope with the situation.
.
.
'It's way too hard to stop crying in this body..It took me like 10 minutes to finally stop crying!'
After getting over rmy crying fit and washing off my face I get started with my newest and still very undefined training plan. Starting off with 100 Push-ups! 100 Sit-ups and laps around the apartment!
'But seriously why the fuck did an ANBU come here in the first place? The only kinda special thing about me is the fact that I come from a relatively powerful family in the hidden grass, but even then my mother is clearly the weakest of her bunch and we're already pretty distantly related..The only way an ANBU would ever interact with me is if they're ROOT and they plan on kidnapping me for some reason. But even that doesn't make sense! They usually go for kids who have a god chance of have Kekkei Genkai in the future and as far as I know I don't have a chance at having one! Plus the fact that I'm not even in the academy yet, they don't know if I'm talented or not...'
Putting potentially life saving thought into the ANBU's random appearance I continue to go through my thoughts and knowledge while trying and failing to do my Saitama esque training.
Though I would soon figure out exactly what the Anbu wanted. She wasn't looking down, in fact she was looking straight ahead as if expecting someone larger than me and around her size. She was expecting my mother.

It's been a few hours at this point and I'm thoroughly exhausted. Taking breaks and massaging myself to numb the pain only does so much when your pushing such a weak body and as such my arms and abs feel as if they are on the receiving end of a fireball justu.
'I totally shouldn't have done this...If I was Naruto this would be easy to recover from but it'll probably take days to fully recover from how much strain I put myself under..Damn! I was hoping I'd have an unrealistic anime logic when it comes to working out, but looks like I'll have to take this slow at least in the early phases..'
Looking at the clock on the wall I can actually read it as it's in Roman Numerals and not the foreign language everything else is in. 'It's already 3? At least the time fly by pretty quickly, at least after that scare I had earlier. Mom will be getting back soon so I should probably start cleaning up and maybe I'll try to freshen up? I'd be weird if I smelled like sweat after an entire day of being alone..'
As I finish that thought I drag myself of the floor and onto my feet and in 10 or so minutes I clean up my area relatively nicely. Leaving some mess to put up the illusion of a normal 4 year old being mindful, but not exactly careful of cleanliness.
Throwing the simple and decent tasting Bento box into the sink I go into the bathroom to attempt to freshen up without alarming to much suspicion. Just 10 minutes after I get dressed back into my old clothes the front door opens and thankfully only my mother steps into the apartment.
"Mommy!"
Rushing over and playing the excited son I notice my mother holding a nice box made out of some cardboard like materal. "Hakari, be careful! What did I say about running in the house? If your gonna run do it outside!"
Natsumi hold me back with on arm as she puts the box down on a counter before picking me up with both hands. "How's my favorite brat? You bored? I can take you to the park tomorrow if you want?"
Letting her pick me up without a fuss I just shake my head and point over towards the box. "I'm fine, I like being home! But what's that?" As I point to the box Natsumi just moves away from it and by extension me, towards the bathroom. "It's nothing. Something I'll need for later."
As she carries me over towards the bathroom I continue to look towards the box to get a read on it that only gets me a few character's I can't read and a symbol that resembles blades of grass.
'What symbol is that? Kusagakure? But it's colored green and it's way...sharper? than before? Almost like the other symbol turned overgrown?' As I'm carried away I only watch the box as that symbol contrasts the light brown of the cardboard.
'I have to get into that! I'll get into that soon!'

'So that was a fucking lie..' It's been 6 months since the "begining" and overall everything's gone almost exactly as I though it would. To sum up some events the Second Great Shinobi War ended, it basically ended a few few years ago but minor problems and skirmishes had prevented the war form officially ending.
'Probably because of Konoha to be fair. Nagato said something about the 2nd Great War being a war we started so I suppose it makes sense that we'd milk it for all it's worth. Probably also the reason why later on had to beat Suna and probably also Kusagakure into submission to get them to become allies.'
With the war no officially ended normal processes continued in the villages including normal school curriculum. 'This also means I can finally get a actual decently accurate date on the timeline of when I was born. If my maths right I'm actually slightly older than kakashi but younger than Nagato. Since I haven't heard any stories about Jiraiya coming back to the Leaf despite being extremely popular he must be training Nagato right now which means Nagato is probably around 12 or so. Since Kakashi is younger than Nagato by 8-9 years Kakashi should be 3-4 years old meaning we're around the same age!'
Putting more thought into my surroundings I continue to scribble in my notebook over my findings alongside my now much better training notes. 'This is a huge sigh of relief! I now know exactly when the 3rd war is going to start and I have enough time to actually prepare for it! Though there's still the problem of the butterfly effect changing things, plus I have not make a decision over if I should save Rin/Obito or not. Then there's Minato and Kushina to potentially save as well...Then I've got the Uhicha Massacre to deal with if I choose not to save Obito. But if I save Obito then how am I gonna lure out the Zetsu's? I have too many options...'
Continuing the write down my notes in my now fully adapted and frankly horrendous hand writing. 'I should keep it simple of now. I'll make a plan for the next 2 years including plans for Kakashi..Though I've got to somehow get some form of actual training from someone pretty soon, mother could be an option but she's not exactly the strongest or even a good teacher...She couldn't even teach me the basics of this world's ABC's, thankfully I'm an adult in the mind or I'd probably be slightly illiterate by the time I reach the academy even with nearly two years of a headstart.'
Getting up from my new desk I go out and into the living room and see a lounging woman a head shorter than my mother sitting on the couch in the middle of the room. "Are you done with your writing?"
"Yes...but if you don't mind me asking why are here again? I thought you were mom's friend?"
"Your mom's doing some random missions right now, she doesn't really need my help. Though I tell you what she's gotten way better at stocking up her house!"
The short purple haired woman gets up and moves at a speed I can't track and into the open kitchen, immediately grabbing a candy bar of sorts and sitting back down on the couch in only a second or 2. 'Damn..I keep forgetting how fast people are in this world...Naruto and Sasuke are light speed for gods sake!'
"Uhm..Ok then I'll be playing. Is that ok?" I speak as the still masked woman sits back down and they just slightly look up before dismissing me with a wave. "sure go for it! I'll only be here for a little bit anyway."
Though before I can leave the ninja move in front of me and taps me and taps herself on the top of the head. "Right! I forgot to even tell you my name. The names Aiko Mitarashi, don't wear it out! Ya got it kid?"
Nodding at her and hastily making my way out of the living room/kitchen I go and start to play with my toys while doing some exercises like juggling to get my hand eye coordination up.
'Well looks like I got exactly want I asked for...'
