Chapter 1: The Boy Beneath the Storm
Prologue — The End and the Beginning
He had once lived in a world without chakra.
A world of screens, noise, deadlines, and dreams that died quietly between sunrise and sleep.
He wasn't special — just another young man who loved stories of heroes who defied fate.
Among them, one story stood above all: Naruto.
He admired Yahiko — the boy who dreamed of peace, who inspired gods and demons alike, yet died before his dream could bloom.
When that scene came — Yahiko's final smile before he fell — the man felt a strange ache.
"Someone like him deserved more," he'd whispered. "If I were him… I'd change it all."
Fate must've been listening.
Because one night, a blinding light swallowed him whole.
[REINCARNATION PROTOCOL: COMPLETE]
[HOST TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL — BODY SYNCHRONIZATION AT 47%]
[WARNING: MEMORY FUSION IN PROCESS…]
Pain. Cold. The smell of blood and rain.
He gasped awake beneath a gray sky. His lungs burned, his heartbeat thundering in his small chest.
The sound of endless rain filled his ears.
He sat up slowly, his orange hair clinging to his forehead. In the puddle beside him, a reflection stared back — a child's face, yet the eyes belonged to someone far older.
"This… this isn't a dream."
A metallic voice echoed inside his mind.
[WELCOME, HOST.]
[YOU HAVE BEEN REINCARNATED AS: YAHIKO.]
[TIMELINE: SECOND SHINOBI WORLD WAR ERA.]
[SYSTEM ONLINE — "FATE CORRECTION INTERFACE."]
He blinked. System? The word felt foreign in this world of kunai and chakra.
[MISSION: CHANGE FATE. THE GREATER THE DEVIATION FROM THE ORIGINAL TIMELINE, THE GREATER THE REWARD.]
[STARTING REWARD: PERFECT CHAKRA CONTROL + ICE RELEASE BLOODLINE.]
[ADDITIONAL TRAIT: "WORLD AWARENESS" — ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE KEY EVENTS.]
He stared at the system window, translucent and glowing faintly blue. The rain didn't touch it.
"So I really… reincarnated," he murmured. "Yahiko… of Amegakure."
His memories aligned — orphaned by war, surviving in the streets, destined to meet Konan and Nagato, to dream of peace… and to die for it.
But this time, the story would be different.
Part I — The Cold Awakening
The streets of Ame were quiet — too quiet.
War had stripped the village bare. The only sounds were the rain and the distant crackle of lightning.
Yahiko — no, the new Yahiko — walked barefoot through the mud, his small hands trembling but determined.
He found a shattered metal plate with the symbol of Amegakure etched on it. He lifted it gently, wiping away the grime.
"I'll change you too," he whispered to the symbol. "This village won't drown forever."
The system pulsed again.
[NEW QUEST: SURVIVE THE FIRST WINTER.]
[REWARD: CHAKRA SENSE MANUAL.]
[BONUS OBJECTIVE: FIND OTHER SURVIVORS.]
He exhaled. "Survive, huh? Not bad for a tutorial."
He gathered scraps — old wood, torn cloth, and a broken pot — building a crude shelter beneath a steel overhang.
The rain bit into his skin like knives, but when he closed his eyes and focused, a warmth bloomed from within. Chakra — pure, stable, perfect.
He remembered the stories — how chakra was the bridge between body and spirit.
So he imagined warmth. Life. Flow.
And it worked.
Frost formed along the shelter's edge, freezing the dripping rain into shimmering ice threads. It was beautiful — unnatural for Ame's gray world.
[ICE RELEASE: BASIC CONTROL UNLOCKED.]
[NEW SKILL ACQUIRED — FROST VEIL.]
He smiled faintly. "Guess that's my start."
Part II — The Vow Beneath the Rain
Night fell. Thunder rolled.
In the distance, kunai clashed — shinobi fighting battles that orphans like him could never win.
He looked at his small hands again, then clenched them tight.
"In my old world, I had dreams too… and I wasted them. But this world — Yahiko's world — is a place where dreams can reshape reality."
The rain grew heavier, drumming against the metal roof like the heartbeat of a god.
"I won't let this world take me or them again. Not Konan. Not Nagato. Not anyone who believes in peace."
The system responded immediately.
[PATH OF CHANGE — INITIALIZED.]
[FIRST CHANGE IN FATE DETECTED: "YAHIKO SURVIVES THE AMEGAKURE ORPHAN CRISIS."]
[REWARD UNLOCKED: BEGINNER ICE TECHNIQUE — FROST VEIL (LEVEL 1).]
[HIDDEN BONUS: SOUL SYNC (20%) — ACCESS TO FUTURE INSTINCTS.]
His body glowed faintly with blue light before fading. His mind sharpened — calmer, clearer, stronger.
He stepped outside, letting the rain wash over him. The streets glimmered faintly under the lightning.
"The world doesn't need another dead idealist," he whispered.
"It needs someone who can twist fate until it bends toward peace."
And for the first time, the storm above Amegakure felt lighter — as if the heavens themselves were listening.
Epilogue — The Beginning of the Hidden Dawn
Deep within the mist, the system flickered once more.
[NOTICE: UPCOMING EVENT — ENCOUNTER WITH KONAN (IN 3 DAYS).]
[PREPARE ACCORDINGLY.]
[RECOMMENDATION: DEVELOP BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS, IMPROVE ICE RELEASE CONTROL, AND STOCK FOOD SUPPLIES.]
Yahiko grinned, eyes blazing with resolve.
"Konan… I'll find you before the rain does."
The boy raised his hand toward the storm.
Ice and rain swirled together — and for a moment, the water froze midair, shimmering like a thousand falling stars.
A new destiny had begun.
