1 Well That Sucks

I honestly never expected to die like that. As a renowned prodigy and Commander at eighteen, the way I expected to die was on the battlefield. Not walking away from my promotion ceremony when a very unnaturally colored lightning bolt strikes me down. Why the hell was the lightning pink?

My name was Sylvania Teru. I was a human male and a prodigy of military warfare. I was born to commoners and lived in a harsh environment because our world was running low on natural resources. We had been continuously raided by alien races because we were not as advanced physically or technologically as them. I was an intelligent child, so when enlisters showed up at our shack and offered my parents money for me to be enlisted, I knew what was going to happen. I became a soldier and quickly rose the ranks, showing my genius in tactics and gunmanship. I became Commander at the age of eighteen and was about to go celebrate with my subordinates when I died from that odd pink lightning bolt.

When that bolt hit me, I could swear I had never felt anything more painful. It was like my soul was a Capri-sun and someone took and squeezed it dry. After that endless soul-crushing pain that seemed like an eternity, but was only around a split second, I was whisked away by an unknown force and ended up in a bright white room.

And that's about how I ended up in this place. Currently, I'm sitting across from two very beautiful women. An awkward silence between us. I look down and realize I do not currently have a body. "Ahem." I look up to the woman on the left, she has flowing white hair and beautiful violet eyes with a perfect body.

"I would like to apologize, my subordinate here was taking her tribulation, and we neglected that a stray bolt may hit a planet in the multiverse. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether you are lucky or unlucky. You have been struck by the stray bolt, and all your karmic value has been wiped clean. This means we can reincarnate you, but everything will be completely random, as we cannot give you anything if you have nothing to give." She explained. I look to the right and see a woman with striking red hair and vibrant green eyes bowing down apologetically.

"Although this has happened, we can let you keep your memories and give you a basic influx of information on the world you go to. But that is about it. No special powers, no op-bullshit, no systems, do you have any questions?" The one on the right asked again. Honestly, I was very much pissed. I worked my whole life to become a Commander, I would have brought that world to peace. I would have brought honor to my race. But I could only sigh and shake my head in front of these two. They were goddesses, while I was a mere mortal.

"I see you have no questions, then I will be sending you off. You'll most likely wake up in a womb unless you got really unlucky and ended up like some kinda lizard-man, then you'll be in an egg." She barked out a laugh at that. "You'll be in the womb for around a month, no need to thank us for saving you eight months of darkness." She barked out another laugh at this. I was honestly getting a bit pissed at her. She had a terrible sense of humor, mind you.

"Another thing, you will forget about this meeting, though we'll probably meet again once you're done with your life, whether you have good or bad karma will be up to you." The goddess said as she raised her fingers into a snapping motion.

She snaps her fingers and my soul feels like it is tugged out of space itself, it's an odd feeling, and one that I would hope to never feel again.

My surroundings quickly change as the blinding light is switched with pitch-black darkness. I guess I'm officially integrated with the body. I can hear vague noises, I guess that attributes to the womb blocking my sense of hearing and my underdeveloped ears. I guess I have no way to know anything about where I am.

I was suddenly aware of the odd energy inside of me. It felt like it was slowly crawling throughout my body. As I tried to manipulate it, it slowly flowed through my body in a single cycle, I could feel like it was strengthening my body, by tightening the muscles and strengthening them. As a did a single full cycle throughout my body, I could feel almost all the strange energy gone from my body. It was exhausting, felt like I had just run a marathon. I tried to locate the energy, only to find it in the middle dantian, where there was a container that was slowly expanding as it was refilled. Curious, I could feel two different energies combining to form this energy, one of them was coming from my body's cells, and another coming from my conscious. But I could tell the energy coming from my conscious was much more dense and powerful compared to my body. I think this was due to my mind taking over this body, as my mind would be much more powerful than a normal child's.

As I was figuring this out, I was suddenly hit with a massive influx of information that would have caused a normal child's brain to shut down. It contained information about my world, a world full of shinobi. A world was full of perilous dangers and people that could do supernatural feats with this energy called 'Chakra'. I finally understood what I felt, and also the other two energies, my physical, and spiritual energies. I found out about the five hidden villages and other basic knowledge, but nothing too advanced. With this new information, I could now tell that I needed more physical energy, so once again, I used the chakra and started to saturate all my muscles with it, they were slowly condensed and became more powerful, therefore increasing my physical energy which blends with my mind's energy and increases my chakra.

From the information, I've concluded that Konohagakure would be the safest place to be born, I just hoped that I wouldn't end up in Amegakure, a war-torn nation like that would be very hard to survive in, even though it would make me and anyone who survives it wrong. I guess I can just lay here and work on this Chakra energy inside of me while I wait to be born, I must say it is quite boring.

(1 month later)

It's been about a month since my soul has been transfused into this body. I've been steadily working on my body and have increased my Chakra capacity quite a bit. I have also developed quite a bit more due to my chakra, so I can hear faint voices and have made out that they speak the same language as my previous world, thank god. But that's about it. Currently, I'm being sucked towards a light, I can only assume this means I'm being born, hopefully.

Pain, now I can see why babies forget the feeling of being born. It feels like my bones are compressing in on themselves as they are shoved through an unnaturally small hole. Once I was finally out, I was hit with cold air and blinding lights. After a month inside a nice, comfortable, damp cave, imagine being shoved into a blizzard, naked, with the bright sun shining right into your eyes. Even with all my pride as the youngest Commander, I wailed my heart out.

I heard people talking around me but I was too busy crying to pay attention to them. That was until I was wrapped in something warm and passed into a pair of arms that I snuggled into instinctively. I slowly opened my eyes to see a fair-skinned woman with shoulder-length, blonde hair with a single bang that falls into her face. She looked worn out with sweat dripping off her brow as she looked down at me. I finally calmed down as she looked at me with a warm gaze.

"Welcome to this world, Sakura Haruno." The woman said as she cooed affectionately at me. Hold on, that sounds suspiciously like a female name. Using all my energy I lift my head up and open my eyes. I look down at my bottom half and what I see terrifies me. Nothing. I immediately burst out wailing again. God damn it they took my man-hood!
