1 Chapter 1 System and Resolve

Hidden deep in the forest, a young boy was seen practicing throwing multiple shurikens at targets on trees not far from his location. This young boy had already portrayed handsome and sharp features even though he was still young. He had natural deep black eyes and short dark hair with dark red highlights. He had been continuously throwing shurikens from morning till dawn and finally became exhausted and collapsed on the ground and laid on his back. With just a thought, he saw a window in front of him.

Since the third great ninja war, the Uzumaki clan was nearly destroyed because of other clan's fear of their power. This resulted in their clan members scatter across the lands. Arata was the son of one of the strong leaders in the Senju clan and Uzumaki clan. Although their marriage was that out of an alliance, the two loved each other deeply. His father was in the Senju clan while his mother was in the Uzumaki clan. Since birth, the three of them lived alone deep in the forest in the boundary of Konoha, one of the great nations. His father, Riki Senju, chose to leave the clan in the later war with his wife, Isamu Uzumaki, as Isamu Uzumaki was now alone. Both of them were deemed as genius of their clan and that eventually passed on to Arata.

Since a young age, Arata saw a deep and sad look on his mother's face as she was not with her clan and had no way of contacting them. They had to lay low as it will only cause mayhem if their clan was ever together again because of the fear that the other clans would once again come together to destroy them. When Arata saw his mother in that state, he was sad and angry. Just because of their fear of the Uzumaki clan's power, they banded together to destroy them. How cowardly was that? Since then, he made his own vow, to gain enough strength that no one else in could even think about destroying them. When he made this vow and started his training, a system appeared before him, detailing his strength and skill level. Even though this was just a simple measurement of his abilities, it allowed him to see his own growth.

Walking out from a distance, his mother, Isamu, came towards him, " Done training, Arata."

Getting up Arata replied, " yes mom, I just finished."

Isamu: " Okay, let's go home and rest then."

The area that Arata trained in was not far from his house, so it only took them a few moments to arrive home.

Seeing them walk in, Riki said, " You back from training Arata? Sit down and eat before going to bed."

Arata: " Yes father."

Arata sat down and began eating with his family. After a few minutes of eating, Arata looked at his father and said, " Father, mom, I want to join the Konoha village and become a shinobi."

When the two heard his words, they were not surprised. Arata had started training from a young age and had strong passion towards getting stronger for reasons that they do not know of. Looking at their son, Riki said, " Why do you want to become a shinobi son."

Arata: " I want to become stronger and stronger." He paused, then he looked at his mom as he continued with an even more resolute voice and look, " I want to become so strong that no one would dare take away things from my family... I want to reunite the Uzumaki clan."

Riki was deeply surprised at the resolved of such a small boy. His mother on the other hand immediately started shedding tears.

Isamu: " Son... you don't have to put such a heavy burden on yourself. I am doing just fine."

Arata: " Mom... mother, since the day I could remember, your kind and beautiful face always have a sad look. Mother why do you always look out the window as if you are longing for some connection to your family. Father, why do we have to live secluded like this. If you fear the other clans and their strength, then I will rise above them so I can bring back our family once again. Just wait mother, I will bring everybody back."

Hearing Arata changed his words from mom to mother, Isamu knew that his son is starting to grow up and is serious about his words: " Son... you... you... must you do this."

Arata: " It is my duty as your son."

Riki hearing his words and resolute voice was filled with pride. 'This is my son' thought Riki. Riki looked at Arata and said, " Arata, my son, the path that you will be taking will be long and difficult. The whole world may be against you."

Arata looked deeply at his father, closed his eyes briefly, then opened his eyes and said, " Let them come then."

However, when Arata had opened his eyes, just briefly it turned bright grey with multiple rings centered. However, it also disappeared just as quickly. When Riki and Isamu saw those eyes, they were deeply surprised and speechless. They had one thought after seeing those eyes ' Rinnegan'. However how brief it appeared, it still appeared, their child had the potential to be the world's savior... or destroyer.

Getting their act back together they looked at each other and nodded.

Riki: " Since you have such determination, I could only lend a hand. I will contact the third hokage and get you centered in. The teams for this generation should have not been made yet, in a month or two then it will be time for their team formations to start. During this time, I and Isamu will train you personally."

Excited filled his eyes as Arata replied seriously, " Yes father I won't let you down."
