Adam was flung off the cloud, and everything went dark. He didn't even get a chance to yell.
'Where am I?' Adam thought as he tried to move, but he felt like a sardine in a can. After some struggle, he felt his body moving in one particular direction. Adam didn't resist; he just went with the flow.
"Breath, ma'am! Breath! You're almost there. Just a little while longer! Almost there!"
"AHHHHHH!"
'What is all of this noise?' Adam, who was almost out of the tight area he was in, kept hearing screams and shouting. It didn't take him long before he realized he was in the middle of witnessing the birth of a child.
The child is Adam himself.
After what felt like an unending battle, Adam was finally free. He was cleaned and handed to what he presumed was his new mother.
"He is a curious little one, isn't he? His eyes are very unique." A gentle voice spoke as she watched Adam's eyes wander all over the place.
'What is she saying? I don't understand her. She's speaking Japanese, I think. I don't know Japanese!' Adam wasn't panicking, though. He knew that he would learn the language as time went by.
"He really is a curious child. I'm sorry that Raiki couldn't be here to see the birth of his own child. His mission ran longer than we expected." An older voice spoke as the man entered the room.
"It's all right, lord third. It seems like the second shinobi war is upon us. I only hope he returns safe," The gentle woman said in a sad voice, though she tried to hide her sadness.
"Have you picked a name for him yet?" The older voice, Hiruzen, spoke, almost as if he wanted to change the subject
"Yes. Raiki wanted to name the boy after his grandfather, Sasuke. I like it too, Sasuke Sarutobi."
"Hahaha. What a great name. My father is from the same generation as lord first and lord second. He was a powerful shinobi who led the Sarutobi clan during the warring era. He was the one who led the Sarutobi clan to join the Leaf Village during its founding."
"Yes, I know, lord third. Raiki had chosen the name Sasuke in the hope that our son would be as great."
"He will be very memorable for sure, especially with his eyes," Hiruzen said with a proud tone.
'I have no idea what is going on. I hear "Hokage" and "Sasuke". Other than that, I can't make out anything else in their conversation.'
Adam, now Sasuke, tried to keep listening to their conversation, but he couldn't make out anything. So he chose to focus on something he can do for now.
'How do I access my item?' Sasuke kept trying to think about how to get his syringe. God didn't give him any instructions.
'Oh, maybe that's it,' Sasuke had found, or rather felt a connection to something. He can tell that it's almost like a pocket dimension.
'Ok, all I need to let myself grow just enough so that I can inject the syringe into myself. I'm not old enough to hold the syringe and inject it into myself.'
After that, Sasuke and his mom stayed in the hospital for a few days. Another old person showed up during their stay to visit. He couldn't recall who it was from the show. But it was an old woman, so he assumed it was his grandma.
A few days later, once it was confirmed that he was healthy and that his mom was also healthy, they left the hospital.
Sasuke, who at that point couldn't see far, didn't get to enjoy the view of the village. It didn't take long for Sasuke and his mother to arrive home. The place was warm and smelled nice, like a garden of flowers.
'Not too shabby. Choosing a powerful and rich clan was the right choice,' Sasuke thought as he lay in a very comfortable baby crib.
'I think around six months old, I should be able to grasp my nano machine syringe and inject it into myself.' And with that final thought, Sasuke fell asleep.
A few days later, Sasuke came face to face with a man that looks a lot like young Hiruzen. He had the same brown hair and slightly tanned complexion. His eyes were different; they were grayish-blue instead of brown.
"Hello, Sasuke, it's me, your dad. Look pfftpfftpfft." Raiki, Sasuke's dad, had finally come back from his mission, and he was playing with Sasuke while making weird faces.
'Who is this man? They just let anyone hold babies these days, huh?'
Even though Sasuke couldn't understand what that man said, he knew that he was his new dad.
From that point on, Sasuke was handled with care. He was the first grandchild of the third hokage after all. His mother was gentle with him, and she spoke to him all the time, even though he couldn't understand what she was saying. His dad was funny and playful. It was obvious that he was a good man.
Just like that, Sasuke spent his days with his new family. He had maids cleaning him, and many toys to play with, and he was always well taken care of. Some days it felt like it would take forever for him to get to those six months; other days flew by fast.
And finally, he was six months old. Sasuke had nothing to do all day, every day, other than play with his mom and grandma and sleep. He would try to move his hand in a coordinated way all the time, as a way to train himself.
'Alright, it's time. I've been working on my hand-eye coordination, I'm sure I can stab myself effectively' Sasuke thought as he looked around his room.
He had woken up in the middle of the night. But unlike other children who would cry, Sasuke had other plans.
With a gentle nudge from his will, Sasuke felt the syringe appear in his hand. Immediately after the syringe materialized in his hand, Sasuke felt his connection to that pocket dimension vanish, as if it had never been there.
'Seems like I don't get an exclusive pocket dimension. It was just there until I took the syringe out. Not too mad about it though. There are sealing scrolls in this world anyway.'
Now with the syringe in his hand. Sasuke brought it close to himself. He held it against himself and pressed the button. It was difficult with his baby fingers, but thanks to his training, he barely managed to do it.
He felt a prick of pain, but nothing he can't handle.
[Serial Number: 000-0000-0001. Sky Corp GEN-7 Nanomachine is now operational.]
'Hell Yeah!'
Just as Sasuke celebrated getting his nano machine. The syringe in his hand turned into motes of light and then broke and dispersed without making a sound.
'Good, I wasn't really sure how to explain having a syringe with me when my parents came to check on me in the morning.
[...]
'Alright, Nano. Tell me your functions.'
[Affirmative]
[Parameters calculated]
[Host mental capacity can handle direct data transfer]
[Do you wish to continue?]
'Yes'
[Affirmative]
And with that, Sasuke gained knowledge about the basic uses of his nano machine. It's the same as the one he remembered from his past life.
There were some differences, though. First of all, there were no locked functions or data. Also, the Gatelinium Nano Suit wasn't an actual suit; it was a chakra mode. Though he is not sure what that will look like.
'Alright, nano, please tell me you have the Japanese language ready to be transferred to me.
