I could only remember being on the battlefield amidst intense lightning; it was so blinding that I could barely open my eyes.
The air crackled with electricity, and each flash illuminated the scene like a thousand cameras going on at once.
I saw two people standing before me: one with tall, yellow hair and a handsome face, resembling a hero to me, and the woman standing next to him with long, red hair.
She looked extremely tired and sweaty, her breath visible in the cold, damp air. Suddenly, a bright light flashed into my eyes, temporarily blinding me, and I could not recall what happened next.
Mito was talking to herself while watching Cloud; she was only two years old when she began recognizing things and soon realized she was reincarnated into the Naruto world.
The wind whispered through the leaves of the trees, carrying with it the scent of freshly fallen rain.
"It's October 9th, almost Mito and Naruto's birthday," Mito thought to herself,
"Well, Naruto and I never get excited for our birthday. Not even the 3rd Hokage feels like celebrating or comforting us, despite knowing we are both children of the great 4th Hokage who sacrificed his life for Konoha."
"Ding! Happy 3rd birthday, host. Your system finally got activated. Here is your birthday gift," the system chimed in.
Mito had heard this voice several times but never understood the logic behind it. However, as soon as the system got activated, she suddenly felt instant chakra and power.
The air seemed to hum with energy as if the very atmosphere around her was charged with anticipation.
"Ohh, what am I feeling? What's this feeling?" Mito wondered aloud. The wind picked up, tousling her hair and sending a shiver down her spine.
"It's a feeling of power and chakra. You gain 5% chakra of Tobirama Senju, and you get a new jutsu to unlock," the system explained.
"Well, who the hell are you and where are you speaking from?" Mito asked, feeling worried. The clouds overhead shifted, casting shadows that danced across the ground.
"Host, it's me, System. I am your helper who will guide you in this long Naruto journey. I am inside you, just like your soul," the System replied.
Mito wasn't scared that much because she grew up hearing this sound, but for the very first time, she talked with the System.
The air was thick with tension, as if the very atmosphere held its breath.
Mito was a huge anime-addicted girl in her previous life; she knew the entire storyline of Naruto, so she was not very scared of this anime world.
"What are you doing here?" Mito heard a cute voice from behind; it was none other than toddler Naruto. The sun broke through the clouds, bathing them in a warm, golden light.
"Ohh, how did you wake up? And by the way, happy 3rd birthday, Naruto-chan," Mito replied with a smile on her face.
Naruto was sleepy; he just wished Mito for her birthday, held her hand, and dragged her to bed. The air was cool and crisp, promising a peaceful night's sleep.
The next morning, on October 10th, Naruto walked into the kitchen, saying, "Ahh, what are you doing? You woke me up because of your noise."
"Hey, happy birthday buddy. Sorry I woke you up; I was preparing a cup of noodles for our breakfast," Mito apologized.
Both siblings were enjoying the meal while the real Mito was on the ground trying jutsu she got as a gift from the system.
"Shadow clone jutsu!" Mito shouted. The wind picked up again, swirling around them as if in approval.
Just with one shout, Mito created a lot of shadow clones and started practicing and learning other jutsu as well, like taijutsu. The air crackled with energy as if the very atmosphere was charged with her determination.
Mito was only able to learn taijutsu and practice shadow clone jutsu because she was a jinchuriki Just like Canon Mito and Naruto, they were not getting any help from the Konoha people; Mito never had enough money to buy something for themselves, not even enough to feed her brother and herself.
Minato Kamikaze sealed half of Kurama into Naruto and the other half into Mito, which is why the Konoha people never used to talk to two innocent children. Also, Mito could not practice anywhere; she was also afraid of Danzo and didn't want to get kidnapped by him by showing her genius abilities.
"Ahh, I am tired of this. Why is this taking too much time to learn simple water shockwave jutsu?" Mito asked the System.
"Well, having the Tobirama System does not mean you have an easy life. You still have to work your ass off," the System replied with an attitude tone.
Mito did get demotivated trying Tobirama water-style water shockwave jutsu, but she could not master it. She still needed water to do that jutsu, but she remembered that in anime Tobirama did not use water when Orochimaru reanimated two great Hokage.
Mito was frustrated with this jutsu; she had already mastered chakra and taijutsu, and since she had been working hard with many clones, it was a faster way to learn.
"Well, which one is worse, getting kidnapped by Danzo because of intelligence with any so-called Hokage protection? Or getting ignored by villagers because of having 9 tails?" Mito asked in a confused tone.
"I think the first one," the System replied and laughed. The wind seemed to echo its laughter, carrying it off into the distance.
From a very young age, Mito had an extreme power of sense; she could sense emotions and chakra from far, just like Tobirama senses Uchiha from a country's difference. Mito used to make clones to distract Anbu and used to work in the ground.
She did not at all trust the Hokage because her brother and she were kept in an orphanage in inhuman conditions.
The Hokage had Anbu who used to give all information about Naruto and Mito, yet the Hokage did not take any action despite knowing they were both children jinchuriki of the village.
