=1st Person POV=
It's been half a year since i've been reborn in this world, and let me tell you these past 1 month've been hell. Imagine putting a fully grown man in the meat bag of a baby incapable of normal human functions besides pooping, peeing, and sleeping.
Throughout this past 1 month, i have noticed some supernatural aspects of my new life. It started when i first opened my eyes on day 6, (don't know why but there's this 4 year ominous countdown in my head since i've regained consciousness), There is this warm feeling in my navel, the same feeling as drinking a hot beverage on a cold winter night, and this foreign yet familiar feeling stood out compared to 23 ordinary years of my past life made identifying the psuedo energy inside my stomach even easier, and it grows day by day.
Then comes the mentions of many familiar keywords like "chakra", "ninjutsu", and "shinobi", and the presences of the same warm, and fuzzy feeling appearing on many people around me including my presumed mother, and father. Those very facts set off many alarm bells in my head, and considering the cliche of being reborn as a baby, accompanied with my rustic and ancient japanese style furnitures and tatamis mats have lead me to the only conclusion viable. I've been Reborn in Naruto!!!!!
1 month later
Greetings to the voices in my head, it's been about a month or 29 days according to the timer in my head since we've last spoken. These last month have been both fruitful, and terrifying in helping me determine the new world of my rebirth.
I've been picking up japanese, or at least what i've assumed to be japanese. Goddamn ROB or whoever put me here for not installing a language or info package, nevertheless i digress. I do not know if it's the presence of chakra or the developing brain of a baby but i've been able to pick up and understand the majority of the conversations between the adults in my life. That accompanied with the blasting of many symbols of a circle with 3 wavy line within running diagonally connected by 3 straight line. Lead me to believed that i'm a Nara
My mother, Yasuka, is a woman with inky raven hair im her mid twenty with mud colored iris, and who i have assumed to be a Nara. She's also the closest, and the one who i've interacted with the most. It's been odd at first, having a mother. But to face with the same care and loving i've craved so much yet given freely in this life, could break even the most stoic of men. She rarely left my side these past 2 months. Constantly taking care of baby-me, from changing my diaper to breastfeeding me, and fussing over the smallest of details. She also regaled me with stories of her shinobi days, from going to academy to protecting the innocent and eventually ending up working as a medic nin in the hospitals. Of course all those stories were told through a rose tinted lense and toned down to be pg even though i'm sure she think i can't really understand her.
My father on the other hand, is a bonna-fide shinobi with hair the shade of crimson with violet iris, and the face any male idol would kill for. He's what modern society would considered an ikemen. All traits of which i hope with all that is held good and sacred in my heart, i will inherit. His name is Hashira, and he's a Jonin of the leaf from what i've picked up from conversations between my parents. Apparently, he's one of the children descended from the Uzumaki that served as the attendants for Mito Uzumaki, the wife of Hashirama Senju, and chose to remained and settled in the leaf. Or at least that what he has told me when he thought i didn't understand what was said, and his desire for me to see the famous Uzushiogakure when i'm grown.
Slowly, these two people have wormed their way into my heart, and i have resolved my self to do my utmost to protect my new family.
2 months later
I have been able to walk!!!!! A baby of 4 months old walking, chakra is a miraculous thing, that is when it's not being used by the murder wizards, to, you guess it, murder each other. Father was overjoyed and hailed me as a never seen before prodigy, with mother clapping along with warmth in her face tho with a hint of something i know not until 4 year old. Blissful moments like this have been why i started to slowly accept this new life of mine. Talking on the other hand has been difficulty beside the usual baby's babble and the occasional mama and dada.
In this past two months, i have been allowed access to books, rudimentary ones for babies development such as spelling and coloring books, books that i have taken to with a fervor in order to learn a new language. Now it's only a matter of time before my vocal cord develop enough to converse with my parents and any willing adults. Months of not talking tend to make you crave conversations as much as a starving man crave food.
On the chakra front, My sensing range is still limited to about 4ft in a radius around me, and i have barely been able to move chakra anywhere around my body, before blacking out. Thus i have wisely stopped my training of chakra before i accidentally blow up a limb or two, at least without proper instruction. Feeling the fatigue once again setting in due to trying to sense the chakra around me, i slowly drifted off to my slumber.Last edited: Today at 12:59 AMQuote ReplyReport •••8DannyNggYesterday at 3:08 PMReader modeAdd bookmarkThreadmarks Threadmarks Chapter 2 Threadmarks DannyNggYesterday at 3:13 PMAdd bookmark#2A husband and wife duo, in the living room, is seen watching excitedly as a baby is attempting to repeat what the husband is saying
=1st Person POV=
"Say Dada i love you, say it honey"
my father urges me on with a goofy smile on his face, when my mother suddenly interjected by shoving a fist on his head so hard it started smoking
"Stop rushing Ashira so fast, idiot. I'm sure our son want to say he loves mama more. Right Ashira? Say i love mama Ashira, you can do it"
watching the whole interaction with a deadpan expression, i eventually caved, as i'm suddenly much more motivated to please my mother, and said
"I-i love you mama"
my mother with her arm spread wide suddenly pulled me into a hug as she smooched my face all over
"I love you too my angel, i love you so much"
and kept on smooching. Leaving spits all over my cheeks which i struggled to wipe away, while begging her to stop. Which she did… eventually.
"Now can you say papa i love you, honey?"
Said my father, who recovered from the sudden violence, no doubt due to the infamous Uzumaki endurance. Tho how he kept taking punch after punch from my mother and still survive, i have no idea. With that said, it's time for me to utilize my ultimate technique, puppy dog eye!!
"Papa love you, papa we go outside? Pleaseeeee"
Pupils wide open with iris dialated, i tried my best to look cute, and begged. That's right, i'm utilizing my baby cuteness to beg for a chance to be outside!!! It's been 4 months since i've last took my first step, 4 months of doing nothing but reading spelling books in hope of regaining the ability to talk, and in these past 4 months i have realized that i have no idea of the timeline of Naruto i'm in, beside the fact that Uzushiogakure still stands. Tho this could have been an AU, and the Uzumaki surviving the second Shinobi war. Any attempt at asking for a more advanced books, or the chance to stealthily listen in on conversations of mom and dad have been rebuked by my mother who always seem to know where i am. Thus my only chance now lay in the Hokage rocks that can't even be seen from our clan estate.
My father hesitated for a moment, before a greyish blur flicker into my view, revealing someone in a black body suit donning a silver flak jacket with an owl mask on his face.
"Hashira you've been requested by the Hokage"
Said the one i've assumed to be an anbu before flickering away leaving me slack-jawed in awe of the supernatural display. My father happy dad face with his silly grin suddenly vanished, replaced by a sad smile on his lips
"Sorry Ashira, papa will bring you outside to play next time." Said my father, before kissing my mother
"i have to go, take care of yourself and Ashira hun." My mother hold on me tightened, before saying
"Be careful dear, and come back to us."
Before he too vanished in a red blur outside my house backyard. Mother hold on me relaxed after a while, and with a loving smile on her face, she asked
"We can't go outside the clan estate, but if you want, we can go to this forest with many cute deers, oh deers are like bigger and cuter cats you see on your color books."
It took me longer to admit, before i realized she was talking about the famous Nara deer forest. Doing my best to not look too excited, i rapidly nod my head with a happy grin on my face.
It took a whole 20 minutes for my mother to prepare for our impromtu trip, but here i am being pushed in a wooden stroller. I took in my surrounding, and noticed many shops bearing the Nara's sigil. From weapon shops with displayed tantoes and kunais, to the most mundane food stall selling what i'm assuming to be takoyaki. Eventually, we arrived at a large estate surrounded by vast grassland, with a forest in the far distance. Greeting a man with a dark green shinobi flak jacket and a resting bitch face, my mother said
"i'm here to show my som around the Nara forest Shiharu. I hope u don't mind"
The now named Shiharu man who i thought is about any seconds away now from falling asleep straightened up and said in return
"No problem at all, Lady Yasuka the clan is holding a joined meeting right now with the Yamanaka and the Akamichi, so you can just go straight to the private viewing area."
Mother nodded and proceed into the lone estate with me, bypassing many other shinobies with many nodding in return. Until we arrived at a large open grassland area with deers by the dozens out grazing. Suddenly lifted up by my mother as she said
"Our clan used to settle here even before the formation of the village. It is said that the first Nara who name have been lost to the passage of time stumbled his way into the forest with nought but the clothes on his back. That it was these deers who helped him establish his home, in return for helping a young doe in fending off a wolf."
I stood there in awe of the sight when half a dozen deers noticed our appearance, and slowly moved toward us. Mother held out her hand for one to start sniffing, then one joined another and soon a dozen more deers join in and all bow in front of mother, who bow in return.
It was only with this act that i noticed the same warm and fuzzy feelings i deemed as chakra from the dozen deers around us. My jaw dropped and realized that almost all the deers chakra, some dwarfing even my mother in quantity, and all have more chakra than me. Mother seemed to notice this, and explained
"All of the deers in our Nara forest are considered chakra beasts, with some having the ability to talk once old enough. What you are feeling now, are chakra from those who are less than 10 year old, with some approaching 20"
I jolted in shock and realized that mother noticed my ability to sense chakra.
"You have always been aware of where any of us are in a small area around you since you were young Ashira. We first thought it was your precocious nature, but this can only happened so many time before we realized you are a natural born sensor. Oh sensors are those who can feel other chakra in a certain area."
Said mother with a smug grin. With a guilty expression, i asked something that has been on my mind ever since the anbu showed up in our living room
"Mama why can't i se-sense gray owl man?"
I asked using my oscar worthy acting skill to simulate baby speech. Mother smiled and said
"Those who are trained in the shinobi acts often have ways to trick even the most experienced of sensors. You are young Ashira, and your sensing skills are nought but a bud yet to flower. But enough said about Shinobies, you are here to relax and i know where we can get some deer feed"
before she moved to grab some crackers from a basket and start feeding the deers with her handing me some to do so as well. But during all this, all i can think about is how i have underestimate the shinobi world and have grown soft in the warmth of my new family. Time passed by before the sun started setting and we went back to our home, by the time we got home, i resolved myself to request something that i have been yearning for the past 8 months of my life. With a serious face, or as serious as i could get with all the baby fat i asked.
"Mama can i train as Shinobi"
which shocked mother out of her tranquil mood. A sad smile started forming in her face, before she said
"Your time will come Ashira. You are smart, smarter than any child i have ever met, but you are just that, a child, my child. Being a shinobi is something you're not ready for, go to sleep and should you be a good boy your father and i will take you out to play more often."
She said before tucking me in bed, kissing me goodnight.Last edited: Today at 1:00 AMQuote ReplyReport •••6DannyNggYesterday at 3:13 PMReader modeAdd bookmark Threadmarks Threadmarks Chapter 3 Threadmarks DannyNggYesterday at 5:48 PMAdd bookmark#3=3rd Person POV=
In a dimly lit room sat three people, all with troubling expression marring their faces. The one sitting on the elevated wooden steps above the rest, with pineapple style hair, the signature of many Nara man spoke
"Are you sure Ashira is a prodigy? Forgive me for doubting your words sister, but the child is 8 months old, being precocious does not always translate to being a prodigy at the shinobi arts."
The second person, a woman with long raven hair let out a sigh before replying
"Ashira is not just precocious Shikano, he's been aware of chakra since he was at least 3 months old. The kid has been trying to circulate his chakra before he can even walk. I know because I'm one of the best damn sensors in this village. Everything else can be attributed to his Uzumaki, and Nara's heritage, from an overly developed chakra network rarely seen in a baby his age except from a very few Uzumaki or being able to pick up language and letters from our heavy yin natured chakra. But being both aware, and attempting rudimentary chakra exercises before being able to walk. That is unheard of bar a very few exceptions."
A silent atmosphere settled on the group before being broken by a man with crimson hair optimism and hope in his tone.
"Maybe it's just the combination between our blood Yasuka, the Uzumaki is a yang heavy bloodline with plenty of chakra, and the Nara line is a yin heavy one. Mayhaps this combined created an inquisitive child with a lot of chakra, and what our baby was doing was no conscious act, but an unconscious reaction that looked like rudimentary chakra manipulation. Like a man who drank 10 cups of coffee, Ashira is only feeling jittery from too much energy and is working it off unknowingly. Older children have been seen to do that all the time, unconsciously moving chakra around to reinforce their body. The only thing different is that Ashira has a lot more chakra for a kid his age and therefore makes it easier for us to notice."
Shikano, the current clan head of the Nara clan seems to agree with the man assessment but with an unsure undertone
"We should let him exercise more often, Yasuka, find more ways for him to work off that extra energy. Your child is the first of the union between the Uzumaki and our Nara clan, so we are indeed walking in unknown territory here."
Shikano chuckled in amusement at an idea and spoke
"An active Nara, mayhaps pigs will fly tomorrow, and Ashira is also in possession of a new kekkei genkai"
The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy as Yasuka's kick landed on the stomach of her brother, Shikako, which launched him into the wall with smoke coming out of his stomach.
"Don't talk about my child like an exotic animal"
Said Yasuka with a murderous glare before said glare turned 180 degrees into a worrying but hopeful frown
"Perhaps you are right and I'm worrying over nothing. I just hope our son is not a prodigy and is forced into the leaf shinobi army before his time."
Shikano who just recovered from his sudden visit to pure land turned serious and said
"No child of the Nara clan will be pulled into the conflicts of the leaf dear sister. Let the Hokage throw the eager Uchihas, or arrogant Hyugas at their enemies. We will fulfill our duty to the village, but no more. We will not send our children toward the leaf's enemies. We have lost too much during the last war."
The Nara clan head stopped talking, seeing the relief expression on her sister's face, then turned toward his brother-in-law, and continued.
"Moving on, has Uzushiogakure agreed to our proposal?"
Conversations then flow as plots and schemes, alliances, and enemies are discussed as the tension between the five major villages continue to rise. The prelude to the second shinobi war begins
About 3 years later
Inside a large forest, a child with black hair and shining violet iris in grey shorts, and a black shirt is seen running through the dense foliage. Dodging and flipping to avoid tree trunks and loose roots, with the agility impossible for one his age. Despite the impressive acrobatic movements, the most unnatural thing coming from the child is the half a dozen leaves sticking on each spot of his exposed skin. 1 on his forehead, 1 each on his arm and legs, and 2 under his eyes. The young boy suddenly stops, as all the leaves slowly fall down on the ground, heavy breathing start emenating, and droplets of sweats seeping into his clothes. Said child is our protagonist Ashira Nara
=Ashira POV=
"10 minutes for the whole course, Sticking 7 leaves is much harder than i expected"
I said as a feminine grunting sound is heard on my left. Out came a young doe, double my size, as it starts licking me affectionately.
"Stop it Katsuko, i know it's almost time girl, but you gotta stop licking me."
I said to my new best friend in this life, a young doe that bonded with me just as it is the birthright, and tradition of every Nara to be bonded with one. Katsuko eventually relented and started stepping away from me seemingly able to understand me. I took a deep breath and looked toward that ominous countdown that has accompanied me for the past 4 years.
"2 minutes left"
I said as i sat down on the hard ground and started meditating. Feeling the warm current of chakra flowing beneath my stomach, feeling it spread out from my chakra network as it traveled through each of the tenketsu notes in my body. This lasted for 1 minutes 55 seconds before the countdown begins
5 i breathed as i calmed my mind
4 i breathed as i focused on the past 4 years of my second life
3 i breathed as memories of those i love past through me, memories of Family
2 i breathed no longer as i steeled my resolve
1 i readied for what's to come
0
Pain, Overwhelming pain flooded my mind, my very soul as a metaphysical pain seared into my very existence, then I screamed. And with those pains come knowledges, knowledges of a different world, with different rules, of men and women putting their lives on the line to defeat a great evil, and then the hand signs, rituals, and the information of the unique echoes, like painting on a canvas, knowledges of 10 great Shadows was seared into my mind. This process felt like it lasted for eternity before pain left me, and I screamed no longer. Then comes the laugh, the deranged laugh in the comfort that i'm no longer powerless, no longer an ordinary Nara. I am the Nara of the Ten Shadows.Last edited: Today at 1:01 AMQuote ReplyReport •••8DannyNggYesterday at 5:48 PMReader modeAdd bookmark Threadmarks NinelotusYesterday at 11:03 PMAdd bookmark#4DannyNgg said:It's been almost half a year since i've8 words in.

I laid on the cold dirt ground as my laughter subsided. My throat aches from the screaming and laughing. My muscles remained sore from the improvised parkour course. And my sweat dried up from my clothes leaving me shivering slightly in the early morning spring wind of March. Yet despite it all, despite my young body failing me, despite the shivering wind, i felt full. I felt complete, like a jigsaw puzzle with its last piece found. As i calmed down slowly from the excitement, i looked inward at my chakra coil and felt the changes. It was at roughly 75 percent before the countdown reached 0, Yet if i was to compared my chakra now to the one before my awakening, i would be roughly at 150% of my old chakra capacity, and i still feel it slowly replenishing. I was pulled out of my musing by a wet tongue licking my cheek. Opening my eyes, i saw Katsuko stood with her head bend down right beside my face.
"Thank you girl, i'm ok now. At least i hope i am."
I said as Katsuko leveled an exasperated glare. A chuckle escape my lips, i gave my deer the best reassuring smile i could manage. Grabbing her body, Katsuko helped me move toward a tall tree for me to lay my back against. Sitting down, and waving her away i said.
"Now!!! Let's test out my curse technique DEER girl, or i guess it's my kekkei genkai. You might want to move back a bit Katsuko."
I grin at my impeccable humor and took a deep breath. Channeling my focus inward, I grabbed at the two separate yet oddly intertwined presences i have been feeling since my awakening. Forming the hand sign for my divine dogs, i pulled. Twin shapes rose from my shadow as i felt my slowly replenishing chakra vanish until only one third of my chakra are left. Out came two fearsome large wolves, one white as snow, the other dark as night, both half a size taller than Katsuko who is a chakra beast, yet twice as wide with red upside down triangles on their forehead. A threatening growl came out of my best friend before she calm down from my reassuring head pat. I grinned as i asked the wolves
"Can both of you understand me, nod if you do"
They both nodded, and my grin grew wider.
"Hmm very good!! black and white for your fur color for now, Black you go East till you can't go any longer or when you think either you or i are about to start losing chakra then stop, and return to where i am, White you do the same in the opposite direction."
They both took off in a flash, producing mild breezes in their assigned directions. Letting out a whistle, I waited and went over what is known about my kekkei genkai.
-Number 1, Each shikigami required a hand sign to produce a shadow in their shape to be used as a focus to summon them. Whether this shadow can be reproduced directly from the Nara's clan Yin Release: shadow control is still uncertain.
-Number 2, I still can sense the locations of summoned shikigami relative to my position, although i still haven't figured out how to communicate telepathically with them.
I snapped out of my musing when I felt both Black and white stopped at the 100 meters mark from me in less than 5 seconds before sprinting back. I felt like i could still push them further, but might lose my chakra in return. Giving up on testing the range of my shikigami for the day. I resumed my musing. From what information is available through my awakening, and what i have gathered, i thought about
-Number 3, for the taming rituals. Each untamed shikigami need to be beaten by either me or my own tamed shikigami. And only one ritual can be done at a time. No outside interferences are allowed, or so my knowledge pack said. What actually counted as outside interferences is currently unknown and will require further testing.
-Number 4, I can feel my shadow, and shadows around me in the radius of around 10 meters. Regardless, i can't really test the parameters of both shadow teleport nor shadow storage with my low chakra.
-Lastly for number 5. After losing the initial I don't need chakra to maintain a summoned shikigami even in combat, barring when my shikigami use their own technique. Said techniques are currently unknown beside the shadowfication of the Divine Dogs.
Regretting not bringing a notebook, I try committing all this information I've learned so far into my memories, before carrying out my final test of the day. Looking at the twin wolves that just returned, I pointed at a giant boulder and commanded them to strike as hard as they could. Both wolves blurred as they used their claws, carving out 3 inches thick clawmark at the boulder.
Shivering slightly, and imagining the gnarly stuffs those things can do to a regular human, I dismissed the wolves verbally before walking back with the help of my trusty Katsuko to the Nara's headquarters situated on the front of the forest, and from there back to my home. As i walked, I considered the options available to me. At the end of the day, Yasuka, and Hashira are my parents. They've loved me unconditionally, and what kind of scum will i be if I can't even trust my family. I'm tired of living for myself, tired of being paranoid at my own shadow, 23 years in that godforsaken city was enough.
But as much as i hate it, the thought of revealing the existence of Mahoraga scares me. I have watched jjk, i have seen what the final shadow can do. The thought of having a mobile eldritch horror capable of leveling cities scares me even though i'm the only one capable of summoning it.
Letting out a sigh, I reached a compromise. I will only disclose the existence of 8 other shadows beside Mahoraga, and not their abilities since even i do not know a shikigami technique without taming them, and any information from the series maybe obsolete since the 10 Shadows have been adapted to using chakra instead of CE. This should help garner not only their support, but of the entire clan, since the creation of a brand new kekkei genkai is a big deal even in a major village. Hopefully it would also increase the value of myself and my parents, increasing our family's chance of survival for the second Shinobi War on the horizon, and buying me more time to grow strong enough to protect them. The trek back home felt just a bit lighter both from having a plan to keep them safe, and at the thought of having less secrets from those i love.
