So I died.
Or at least I think I did.
My last few memories or rather some of my memories from that world are far too cloudy to understand.
Yet, here I am in a world I most definitely recognize, the world of Naruto. Worst of all? I'm an orphan with no distinct bloodline characteristics, meaning in a world of cheaters I'm worthless.
Nine whole years of toiling away to gain a miniscule amount of power that those with bloodlines could achieve in mere moments, perhaps not in skill, but in raw power. Which I have to say is even more terrifying. Regardless I'll try my best to be strong enough to live a peaceful life and try to marry a mild tempered somewhat beautiful yet not heroine level wife. Truly after seeing Jiraiya fly one day I've decided I'll become a Nara in mentality (not in practice hopefully). So you might be wondering after working so hard, or so I claim, how strong am I? Well I'd say I'm nearing genin levels though I'm an orphan it's not as though I had to start from zero. My parents were both well to do ninjas who died in some unknown conflict, with my father as some sort of Special Jonin and my mother being a higher level Chunin. So as a result they left behind some jutsu and notes though I can't say it's anything crazy, it's at least a start. Not to mention the small amount of wealth and the stipend I receive. Even before the academy started when I was 5 years old I had already mastered the three academy jutsu and a few wind and water style techniques left behind by my parents. Now at nine I've furthered those jutsu, worked on my physique and begun furthering both my taijutsu and even begun dabbling in fuinjutsu. You, the nonexistent demons in my head are all probably screaming what the heck? Genin level? Talentless? Well, while I might be able to compare to Sakumo Hatakate or maybe Orochimaru in the future, but even kage level is worthless, especially considering that those powerful gods in the future were just Genin… So yes I'm a genin and as for Danzo and our good uncle Hiruzen's eyes I'm just a talented civilian. Yes, like those reincarnation stories I used to read I've hidden my talent using my classmate Minato as a benchmark and simply matching his ability or showing slightly above it. At the same time I've also tried to be friendly to the main character's mothers, Mikoto Uchiha (who already graduated 2 years before me) and Kushina Uzumaki (who is my classmate). Why do you ask? Well I'd rather be friendly and nice to earn browny points now that way when the time comes around for their children to be born they'll speak of me in a positive manner or in the demon fox's case I'll at least be able to interact with him to build rapport. Of course that's all for the future for now… for now I'll take a short rest as I wait to turn 10 years old.
Looking at the now dark sky from my house window waiting for the time to finally turn 12:00am, March 1st. Yes, yes why am I staring at the sky when there's an analog clock next to me? Well I have to say the night sky is so much prettier here than back 'home'. Though on another note development in the Naruto world is so messed up. Clocks, fridges, hell even old old electrical lights (like Thomas Eddison type old) exist, but then cars don't and guns don't. I thought about making guns considering how most shinobi are like glass cannons, but then I remembered I'm dumb as hell. Am I a super genius? Is my name Sosuke Aizen? Is my name Tobirama Senju? Hell no. So what can I do except follow the footsteps of those who came before me and follow the cookie cutter path to get Will of Fire brainwashing, throw my life away happily, let the old leaves flourish and the new rot… or something like that. As you can tell I never pay attention in class… It's the only reason I rank under Minato and another reason why me and that dumb red head get along decently well. Both of us fail all the cultural classes, but combat? Who'd dare? You dare challenge mount tai!? Anyways, what was I saying again? Ah yes this Naruto world is very stupid honestly my brain fog from traveling there makes it so I barely remember anything before canon so I might just die before the Fourth Great Ninja War. This line of thought has repeated itself like a broken record every year on my birthday, which is why I always take a break from training. You see chakra is formed from the spiritual and physical which means if I were to refine chakra in such a state I'd affect my overall quality and whatnot… though regardless, these useless thoughts don't affect my motivation to become strong enough to live somewhat peacefully.'
Like this he sputtered on and rambled in his mind about how little it'd take for him to die. Without even noticing the clock hit 12….

'Fuck. What happened to my peace and quiet? This isn't the Nara mentality I wanted dammit! I didn't want the practical too you dumb fuck!'
***Author's Note: The first chapter was short on purpose, from this point on expect about 2,000 to 4,000 words… Also a heads-up the next few chapters may be info dumps before we get into Ninja Graduation and all the good stuff.
