Looking at himself in the mirror Naruto finally let the reality sink in and accepted his new life in the world of Shinobi .
Even though having memories of 2 lives , The life of 22-year life , experience and the worldview together with borderline obsession of becoming Hokage so to be acknowledged by everyone made the new psyche a diffrent feeling .
Hearing the rumbling of his stomach that are not only protesting of hunger but also to start his daily morning-rituals Naruto finally steps away from the mirror and steps up to Toilet.
Only then the 9-year old smells the stench in the bathroom , holding his breath he finishes the emergencies first , washing his face he finally gets out the bathroom and steps into his familiar and unfamiliar Apartment .
"Ughhh"
the groan escapes from his mouth voluntarily as his blue eyes survey his surroundings . Mottled walls , heaps of instant noodle Cups , unwashed dishes definitly 5-6 days old maybe over a week , dust everywhere , uncleaned and dirty floors . dirty Orange mostrosities here and there .
" I really lived like this huh"
But despite facing this situation naruto does'nt feel ashamed but only little biiter.
Because the reason why he does not wash clothes is to have them smell so which people can react and then Hokage grandpa will come and spend his time with him . the reason he does not bath is to smell too so which Teacher Iruka or Grandpa Hokage will take him to Hot-spring or bath him themselves.
Hot-springs is better because there he won't be lonely with loth of people there who will not go away seeing him or the Keeper who will finally allow him inside with Iruka-sensei and Grandpa.
Doing laundry , cleaning apartment , eating ramen anything in which he would'nt feel lonely and
if he starts doing things himself then what if one day Grandpa stops visiting or Iruka-sensei stops caring because he does'nt need their help anymore.
Knowing his previous thoughts the new Naruto first goes to side cupboard near entrance and starts gathering house's cleaning supply to start cleaning because he knew no matter what he is not gonna live at least like this . Because of never doing any cleaning all the supplies were sufficient whether the rag or detergent for cleaning clothes or floor .
As for Grandpa he will come regardless after all whether his identity of the village's Jinchuriki or the identity of Fourth's orphan , he will have to check on him or the seal anyway.
starting by collecting his laundry he notices the near identical clothes , orange jacket for attention and also not a single piece of clean cloth , collecting everything and heading to bathroom he notice the overall apartment .
on paper it's just a 1 room aparmnent but whether the hall or kitchen even bedroom , they are all pretty big and ofcourse there are appropriate windows so which it should be easy to monitor Jinchuriki.
At least the situation is much better than he hoped , the villagers only shun him they definitely fear him and keep distance there is no violence or anything else.
Gran-no The Third Hokage keeps check on him twice a month , as long as he can remember , at the beginning he visited twice per week but later when his situation changes as he grow older and got into apartment it became once a week to now twice a month .
Giving him weekly dose of blazing will to monthly visits to hospital for every health checkup which even now he just got a week ago , fishing in lake with will of fire speech and enjoying hotspring with appropriate Hokage dream .
Dinner with cultured morals seasoning , standing in front of washing machine Uzumaki Naruto bit his lips because he didn't know how to describe this feeling.
Whether because of this life or before , morally he should be thanking this elder figure for all his genuine care or should he hate this dark hand to brainwash and sculpt a 9 year old for his and this village liking .
" How Complicated "
getting out of bathroom looking at apartment he starts cleaning floors and walls to distract himself . While cleaning he remembered the so called Accident , the white room and the karma that his parents entrusted to him which he should have only enjoyed at old age.
Reincarnation and the so called lottery , when he draw himself to be reincarnated as Uzumaki Naruto he never thought of it like this . sitting on chair after tiring work he focused inside himself and saw a Bright Diamond and His so-called reward
The Sign-in System
Host - Uzumaki Naruto
Status - healthy
Skills - N/A
that's it , no stats or attributes or health bar just plain , the sign in system does'nt come with any manual or explanation. his memories of white room are all limited like except for these you won't remember anything , even though he still remember his life on earth.
Standing up from chair Naruto goes to nearby terrace to look at HIS masterpiece the Great Hokage Rock painted with beards and other rainbows and sunshine who are getting cleaned by workers live , who are definitly cursing the culprit .
" hmm Just approaching will be hassle "
Having Sign in system , In Konohagakure , the first location naruto thought was of course the Hokage Rock but his past experiance tells him that the shinobi and ANBU will definitly not allow him near it for at least 5-7days . He also does'nt want to face Hokage-sama while gathering himself from his new situation either.
Having memories from Konoha academy also tells him the basic courses just in these 3 years of academy like
Basic Infiltration , espionage
Basic camouflage , Disguise
Basic Surveillance , awareness
these courses are just not for show , the kids learn to blend , observe are really trained to be spies and assassin or maybe the apt word Shinobi.
He really feels fortunate to awaken When the acdemy is closed the Holiday time period of between 3rd year ending and 4th year beginning .
" This is in the middle of may and Academy starts at the beginning of July , give or take 40 to 45 days "
muttering under his breath Naruto goes to bathroom to get laundry and to dry it up on terrace .
" yosshh at least 2 or 3 times and all laundry will be finished "
putting the clothes on terrece , naruto remembers the iconic locations in Konoha like The Academy , Hospital , hokage office etc. but he doesn't want to take any risks under those much trained and seasoned ANBU .
one can explain cleaning your house but not those small little habits that these people had noticed and placed a whole file about it on his Grandpa's desk.
That's why he decided to change , little by little but to change so which it feels natural , children change much less like naruto on whims .
The Sign in system only allows Daily sign in meaning once per day and Uzumaki Naruto has already decided Where he will sign his first sign in , it will be HERE his apartment of course .
The place he has been living since he can remember this place has the most memories and also his rebirth ,
"fuhhhh"
breathing out inside the bathroom where no one should be looking Naruto focuses on Diamond inside And whispers
"Sign in"
Ding !
Sign-in location - Uzumaki Naruto's apartment
