Its been a few days since I was born and right now I'm laying down in soft blankets while contemplating what to do, after all the war will start in 4 years and I most definitely will not be ready to protect my family at the age of 4 against a war.
Since my father is a jonin and has swift release and my mother is an Uzumaki that means that if they were alive in the original Naruto then they most definitely would be shown in the series. That means they died some time in between now and Naruto's birth, and I need to prevent that... The question is how? I don't know when they die and considering how powerful my father and mother are, they must have sent multiple Jonin after them.
'What you should do first is do exercise! You need to be prepared for when, like you said, they attack! First step is to start walking obviously, but you are just laying in bed doing nothing but contemplating the currently inevitable at this rate!'
'Yeah yeah I know, I'm just thinking. Its more difficult to think and do strenuous exercise at the same time!'
I sighed and started trying to do pull-ups.
'Well maybe we should change that, why don't I give you random questions while you are doing exercise? At one point it will become second nature be be able to think and exercise at the same time!'
'That sounds like a drag, why can't I just silently struggle with these pull-ups without having to think of random things?'
'Is that how you are going to save your family? By complaining and not taking it the extra mile, like you most definitely should if you want to make sure that you don't end up as a trio of corpses on the floor of some random location.'
'I get it! I get it! Fine, lets get this over with. Your right, whatever it takes to make sure we don't die.'
'That's more like it!'
A few months passed like that, exercise and Naruto trivia, after the first month I was able to walk around, of course I was never able to be sneaky enough, you know, shinobi parents and all. So as soon as my parents found out that I could walk at a month old they were ecstatic. A few good things came out of that anyway, like my parents kept the door to my room open and would always help me in my exercise, like when my dad was home I would always play tag or hide and seek. Mom would always help me with my throwing skills with kunai and senbon and have dodgeball fights... that sometimes went out of hand.
Today happened to be one of the days that dad was on a mission and I was home alone with mom and we were playing dodgeball.
I was hiding behind a tree in the backyard of our little house. I was still a bit clumsy, since I was a 3 month old infant so my hiding wasn't perfect but mom always said I was good at it at my age... Which I imagine would be the case since normal 3 month old babies wouldn't even be walking yet... Actually maybe they would be in the Naruto world... Huh...
I peeked my head out with a baseball sized ball in my hand and looked around for mom, before suddenly seeing a ball come flying towards me from the left. I ducked out of the way and sprinted like my life depended on it to find a different spot before jumping to the side as a ball came whizzing by my ear. As I turned around I spotted mom in a tree close to where my hiding spot was.
I turned around and ran into the nearest cover I could find before peeking my head up and throwing my ball as hard as I could at her and followed it up with the only other ball I had before sprinting off after where the balls she threw landed earlier.
I made it about 4/5ths of the way before another ball was sent my way and I had to make a tough decision, but quickly decided to change my trajectory and pushed myself to the left before the ball again came inches from hitting me. I kept sprinting and quickly grabbed the balls and the extra one mom threw a few feet away before turning around to get a look at where she was. Good thing I did because she was right in the direction I was planning to head in. I grinned openly with malicious intent and threw a ball towards her direction.
Just as I had hoped, she jumped upwards and I quickly sprinted towards her as she looked around and then looked at me with a similar grin as my own and pulled out a ball from her kunai pouch.
I screeched, and with wide eyes I watched her throw it straight at my chest. 'Shes too close to dodge! Shit!'
I tried to throw my own balls but I couldn't get them ready in time and as if time was in slow motion I saw it come closer until...
Thunk! It hit me slightly on the left side with such force that it left me breathless.
I fell to my knees and stared at the unusually heavy ball that bounced off of me a few feet in front of me while panting heavily.
"You were so close Setsuko! I think that's the closest you had gotten to winning yet!" Mom exclaimed in pride.
But I was devastated. 'All that planning... I was so close too...'
Nevertheless I still replied with my baby lisp, although very noticeably gloomy."I was so close... I had spent so long planning out how to win in different scenarios too..."
Mom laughed softly and picked me up. "Alright, alright. You should be really proud to have gotten that close to beating me at your age. Lets go inside and clean up, we will clean up the balls later today and I'll make some yakisoba for lunch, how about that?"
I immediately brightened up. "Yakisoba! Yeah I'll help too!"
I raced inside and into the bathroom and started the water with mom right behind.
As we were washing up I absentmindedly asked Arata, 'Hey Arata, show me my stats please.'
'Sure!'
STR: 6
DEX: 8
VIT: 7
AGI: 13
CHK: 12
INT: 18
WIS: 19
CHA: 30
'I can understand my agility and dexterity doing up that quickly since that's what I set my body type to, but why the chakra? Is it because I'm part Uzumaki?'
'Indeed! You are a half Uzumaki, You don't have quite as much as Naruto even if he didn't have Kurama sealed in him. That's because Kushina is a royal member of the Uzumaki Clan. Its basically like the main branch of the Hyuuga except no seals. Well I mean no seals restricting the branch members, or any members. Members of the Royal Uzumaki bloodline have more chakra than the already overflowing amount of chakra that normal Uzumaki people have... I'm getting off track, but yes it is because of your Uzumaki bloodline that you are getting more chakra just as quickly as you are getting dexterity and agility.'
'I see, that's convenient. Naruto really is overpowered isn't he...'
'Your one to talk.' Arata mumbled.
'You know I can hear you? And fair point, we are both overpowered.'
"Hey mom, when is dad coming home? He's been gone for a long time." I asked out of the blue.
Mom paused while washing my arms and smiled gently. "He has only been gone a week, although I believe this mission isn't escorting this time, just beating up some bad guys traveling around and hurting people, so it shouldn't be too long before he gets back, maybe another day or two. Your daddy is a jonin so don't worry about him." Mom squished my cheeks gently and kissed my forehead.
"Okay mom, are you almost done? I wanna eat yakisoba."
Author note the rest of the way down: Before you go on about how babies can't eat solid food. This is a fanfiction of Naruto for one, I'll do whatever I please. And two, In Naruto I believe that, especially clan kids, have to grow up quicker to be able to survive, at least past infancy. So in my mind Setsuko is old enough to eat solid food. I believe that an infancy of complete dependence of breastfeeding shouldn't last very long, maybe the first month or two. Especially since Setsuko was able to walk in her first month.
Setsuko's stats are about the same as a fresh academy student if anyone is wondering. Her agility, dexterity, and chakra are about middle to low academy student level.
