CH1, A Sh*t Here We Go Again
Konohagakure, Land of Fire, Ninkai (Ninja World- Planet Hidden in the Solar System).
'Far far away in another… Wait, wait! Wrong script! WRONG SCRIPT! Ehem. Don't mind that my omniscient friends that I believe are watching, reading, or even imagining back home or as the Chinese back then used to say on the "blue star." Now you're probably wondering why I'm monologuing to myself, you know, inside my own head… and you're absolutely correct to think I'm mentally insane… because I totally think I am. Let's take a step back… My name is…? Ah sorry I'm still getting used to this Japanese name… Soutarou Morita… or is it Morita Soutarou…? Ah screw it, I'm American. Anyways, it's been a grand total of about a week and waking up every morning to see those three carved faces that watch over this city, or village in name, freak me out all the same. Like imagine taking a nice long piss and your unfortunate bathroom window just faces directly towards the hokage's faces and now while you piss you have to wonder, is Hiruzen spying on me? Though in all seriousness he probably is… and Danzo is somewhere in the corner. So here I am one week after the usual shabang which can all be summarized into…'
~(One Week Ago)~
"UGHSDSKFJR!"
'My head! It hurts… it hurts…'
A short boy with dark brown hair and bright red eyes, snapped his eyelids closed as his small hands pressed into his skull as if trying to alleviate his pain. His memories jumbled. His mind set aflame as if someone held a heated iron to it as if branding it. As the world seemed to spin and his eyes were forced open from the sheer headache he stared and cried in pain.
*Spongebob voiceover, "Three Hours Later…"*
'This body?!?!?'
The boy rushed over to a mirror and found himself staring at a new and completely unfamiliar appearance.
'Is it really possible? Did I actually? There's no way! I-I actually reincarnated?!?'
Spacing out for a moment the boy just sat there with his small hands in his lap in sheer disbelief at what had happened…
'I actually died? But how?!? I was just reading a webnovel and then-'
'Then? Wait… where did I live? What was my original name? N-no this can't be… I've lost parts of my memory…?'
In shock the boy ran his hands through his hair in both frustration and fear of what he was missing, before finally lamenting and thinking to himself, 'Well if thinking about my previous life won't help me… then it's obvious I have to move and live my dreams out!'
'Status!'
'System!'
'Open sesame!'
"Status?"
"System?"
"SYSTEM! WHERE ARE YOU? DAMMIT YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE SCARIFICED?"
*cricket noises*
'Ok technically I didn't sacrifice anything other than my life somehow, but come on where's my cheat? Or do I need to say "Golden Finger" so the Chinese language department will hand over my system? Still no? Damn Chinese imported products! Never work when you need them to. No, that wasn't national pride… ok maybe… fuck. System? Hello~!'
*cricket noises get louder*
'I'm so fucked.'
…
'Back to the current me and you're probably thinking as I am, what if I just work hard and become like Might Guy or one of those other guys… Suzuki Fujin, Daiki Yurei, or whatever? Yeah… Well… I hate to burst your bubble, that's just not possible… First off I'm almost certain if I show off even a smidge of the level of talent those guys did I'll get Danzoed into the shadow realm. Second, I'm about as unlucky as Tsunade, especially when you consider which world I've been reincarnated into. Which by my math means… I'm fucked! The only somewhat good news is my family seems to be deep in the hokage line as my parents' properties, jutsu scrolls, wealth, pension, and valuables have been left for me. Considering what the Konoha Four did with Sasuke's case after the massacre I'd say I'm either the hidden son of the Hokage or am somehow related to one of those four. Again not that I really blame them or anything for their actions…ok I blame one of them… just one… remember kids… when in doubt… BLAME DANZO! My parents are dead? Yep. Blame Danzo. Food doesn't taste good? Blame Danzo. Having a hard time going to the bathroom? Blame Danzo. Sigh… I unfortunately can't blame my reincarnation on Danzo. What a pity. Anyways…. I, thankfully, haven't spent the whole week since my reincarnation wallowing in self-pity, for example one of the major tasks I did this week is I verified several bits of information and documented as much as I could down about the plot, sub-plots, fillers, character information, battle tendencies, training methods, items of value, etc. The first bit is that I'm approximately the same age as Itachi and Izumi. Second, I'm only three years old physically and the current time line seems to be right before the Nine Tails Attack which is a horrifying revelation as it means I could also die in that too… The only real saving grace is… that my parents house is somehow near the absolute center of the village. Talk about prime real estate! Now we just have to pray that that damn fox doesn't accidentally sneeze in my direction and all is well… then we can rename this mental story of mine "The Time I Reincarnated Into Naruto as a Wealthy Land Owner…" I really wish I could do that… but going through my files and information I was able to figure out a few things… Lastly, I'm most definitely one of the integrated senju remnants just judging from the kinds of jutsu, items, and well… this damn Grey Warring States Era armor that's plastered with a Senju emblem… What, you thought I read those jutsu books and figured something out? Hell no! I'm a damn three-year-old and could a three year old really read Japanese? No, I'm a reincarnated American gahdammit! I speak english and read english! The only saving grace here is somehow this three year old child version of me can already speak fluent Japanese. Once again I blame Danzo…'
'Still my best guess as to why I can speak and my motor function is so high-level at this age is that chakra speeds up development of mental facilities and nerve development. While at the same time I'm almost certain that most people have to extract chakra and have to have someone help them unlock it… I on the other hand have it naturally unlocked. Why and how can I tell? Because running through what I already knew from the anime and just trying to meditate using a ram handsign I already felt the presence of a developed force of energy within myself. Which reveals a few things from my own guessing… that I might be a natural sensory type ninja and that my reincarnation might have brought along some additional benefits. Perhaps from soul combination or being jammed full of an adult's soul which if I understand correctly greatly affects my spiritual component of my chakra or my Yin chakra. Then again I'm probably wrong seeing as you know I'm a freaking three year old kid, and have no point of reference other than the anime, some parts of the manga, and very limited amount of the light novel. I technically also have plenty of Fanfiction knowledge, still I doubt how much that can be trusted… At best I can use it as an example of how my actions will cause butterfly effects. Sigh…'
Staring out of the window of his three story house, Soutarou sighed heavily again, before ruffling up his hair with both his hands.
"Fuck."
'Why does it still feel like I'm speaking English? Whatever semantics I suppose. Or should I say linguistics? Man this is confusing… Eh why bother thinking too much. Well if I'm in Itachi's generation if I just show talent under his… which honestly isn't that hard… could I still be ok? I feel like I'd still be fine… maybe…'
Soutarou's short figure rushed downstairs and he stairs the red plated armor with the Senju symbol onto.
'Hehe… if I make myself a second Tobirama Senju wouldn't that give Hiruzen enough reason to safeguard me? Think… think… Wait a damn moment I know just the right teacher to head that path too! Kosuke Moraboshi! The Third Great Ninja War should've just ended… I might be able to find that old man… I'll have to note this down… Evil Uchiha, you'll be my shield against Danzo! Take the blame for my faults.'
'Hmm… the red face paint is a must too… hmm… what else… red eyes? Wait a damn second.'
Soutarou paused and dragged a stool over and stared at the bathroom mirror.
'...'
'I have red eyes and I'm a Senju descendent? Yeah I'm calling BS right now… I blame Danzo for this series of coincidences. The only saving grace here is that I have dark brown hair….'
'As for growing strong, if I can't achieve much in Hiruzen's era I could always wait until Tsunade's era and just lay low in the Academy as an instructor. Though I have to say what are the chances that a Senju has red eyes… and that grey armor though I swear I've seen it before… What was that background character's name…? Toka Senju? Well no point in speculating and losing myself in the whirlpool or rather rabbit hole of personal conspiracy. The most important thing is to gain strength. To do that I have to start learning how to read. From there I can use all of this stored knowledge.'
Soutarou glanced over at the vast plethora of jutsu scrolls, training guides, resources, kunai, shuriken, various fuinjutsu and juinjutsu items, gear, and random trinkets.
'Yeah learning how to read is probably top priority. So my best bet is going back to those orphanage caretakers… ideally I should avoid Nono… what else? Haha I guessI've more or less finally accepted that I'm really a part of this world? Heh since I'm here shouldn't I make the most of it? Hell yeah! What was it? With great responsibility come big booty- wait wait wrong quote- Ah fuck it! We ball. Here I, Soutarou Morita, come, Ninja World!'
'...wait, that sounded weird.'
A glint flashed in the small boy's eyes as a devilish smile formed on the boy's face before sputtering out for a moment and then causing him to scratch his head before shrugging and getting to work...
***Author's Note: Hope you liked CH1, a bit of an info dump + world building… The first 30-40 chapters will still be world building with the first fights coming up. Expect a slow start and slow growth. Also all chapters will be around 2000 words (200 give or take, like this chapter which was 1800~). All in all I hope you enjoy and happy reading (critiques are welcome… please leave comments and reviews, I'll sincerely try to adjust as we go)!
