Perspective

"You owe me 50 Ryo Hare, Haha!" The Raikage bellowed in laughter after witnessing the blackened room

The ANBU with the Hare mask slumped a little and pulled out the 50 Ryo

I watched this exchange happen with bug eyes and a slack jaw before pulling myself together and hopping out of the bed

"What the hell happened?! Why does my room look like it passed through the depths of hell?!"

The Raikage snatched the cash and pocketed it, turning to me with a small grin

"Kid, you just awoke the bloodline of the Murosaki clan. The Plasma Release! Haha!!!"

After he said that, I had to take a step back to recollect myself

'Murosaki clan? What the hell? Jeez, I haven't even done anything major yet and canon has been shot to shit' I sighed and sat back down

"So what's going to happen now?" I asked the bodybuilder

His grin got feral and he crouched down before picking me up and throwing me over his shoulders

"Training" He said simply, making me pale and start sweating

'Shit...'

*In Kiri*

A small boy of about 4 was walking around the stone buildings of Kiri, watching the waves of the sea splash against the walls

The trees shook in the breeze, letting a few leaves loose

'I wonder if Princess Asseylum is safe...'

A boy with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes flashed in his eyes, making him growl under his breath

'Slaine you bastard...'

The boy, known as Inaho, shook his head and opened up the door to the abandoned warehouse located in the outskirts of the village by the docks

Apparently, this place had once been owned by the Kaguya clan once before they left the village in favor of an island off the coast a few miles away. Before abandoning it, however, it had been a huge spot for storing their famous Chakra bones of their clan

These things were infused with chakra, making them stronger than steel, and they had just left almost 19 boxes of the stuff in the back

"Their loss, not mine..." Inaho muttered, walking up the latter to work on his Prototype Kataphrakt, which was quite difficult seeing as how this Elemental Nations place didn't have anywhere near as advanced tech as Japan had

'Seriously, this place is so backward it isn't even funny.. I mean, these people figured out how to spit the elements! How could they not figure out a simple Lithium alloy?!'

He sighed and applied another bolt to the frame

"I'll find you princess..."

*In Iwa*

*Clank* *Clang* "Thonk*

Sounds of metal hitting metal were coming from a building by the Tsuchikage Tower

Inside, a boy of, again, about 4-5 wielded a large Katana with a dark green stripe running through the black steel

The boy was clearly out of breath, having dropped to his knees, chest rising and falling rapidly

Across from him, the Tsuchikage, Mu, was floating with his own broadsword, his bandages flowing below him

"You are improving, Yuichiro. Much better than when you started three months ago" Mu said in a calm voice, no signs of exhaustion at all

Yuichiro shook his head and grimaced before rolling over onto his back

"It's still not good enough, Mu-Sama. I need to improve faster..."

Mu stared at him for a minute, before shaking his head

"You are still 4, Yuichiro. Plenty of time to improve your skills"

The boy sighed and nodded

"I suppose you're correct" He said softly, getting back up and taking the sword, entering his stance

'I'll find a way back... Mikaela..."

*The forests of the Land of Fire*

*Between Uzushiogakure and Konoha*

A small red haired girl jumped through the trees tracking a small deer, going at a speed Chunin would be jealous of

*THUNK*

The girl shot an arrow into the animal, killing it instantly

"This should keep me fed for the next few weeks.." She mumbled before thinking back on how she got stuck in this place

Haruhiro, Mary, Shihoru and her were exploring the dungeon's lower levels, picking up some dragon scales for the guild when a bright light enveloped her and she woke up as a toddler in the middle of this forest

She still had all of her hunter skills when she checked and had only had to build up her muscle memory and strength back to what it was, which was very easy thanks to this chakra stuff

Yeah, that was an interesting find. She had thought she was reborn in the same world, only very far away, but she had never even heard a mutter of this chakra stuff before, so it couldn't have been the same place unless she was very unobservant

Thinking back some more, she came across the books she found when waking up

Yeah, apparently her parents had left her there seeing as how they were missing nin

Ninjas... Haruhiro probably would have gushed over this place...

Anyways, they left her some books and a note on her heritage

'Uzumaki, huh?'

Yume looked up at the full moon and frowned

"Let's see how this works out, eh? Manato? Haruhiro?"

*In Konoha*

A young man walked down the crowded paths of the Village hidden in the leaves towards the training grounds

He had been going there and watching the people train there for nearly 5 years now, only recently having been given the chance to train in hand to hand combat by an eccentric man named Duy

Shudders still ran down his spine at the thought of the spandex and leg warmers he wore

Instinctively, the male reached in his pocket for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, instead finding nothing

Sighing in frustration, he continued down to the grounds at a slightly faster pace

'Just need to become a ninja and I'll have my precious cancer sticks back...'

That thought seemed to motivate him, making him jump onto the roof and run the last little bit to the grounds

While he was running, he thought of the things he had been doing after getting here

Learning the language, Figuring out how to work metal, Figuring out gunpowder, That chakra stuff...

Lots of stuff really, which is really unlike him

'Can't blame me.. Need my pistols back, and I have a bunch of possibilities with that chakra metal stuff..'

Anyways, he also thought of the village

He had been reborn an orphan in the thick of the Second Shinobi War, which sent him into ninja training at the age of 4

The kid hadn't made many friends besides Duy and a kid from the Hyuga clan

'Hitoma was it? Nice guy really, if a bit loud sometimes...'

Stop interrupting me, please? Thank you

The Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen had apparently taken some interest in him, giving him some special treatment and resources, which was interesting because they had barely spoken two words to one another

He also thought about the two kids in his class who were basically prodigies

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze

They were quite interesting, seeing as how they were put into the academy at the age of 8 with all of the others who were put in at 4 before the war ended and were stuck there

Two 8 year olds in a class of 6-7 year old kids

"Bah, they're loud, interrupt my naps with all of Kushina's damned ball crushing sprees whenever someone calls her a tomato. Minato is too busy looking at her do it for me to actually speak to the kid.."

The kid shook his head, and jumped into the grounds, locking eyes with his unofficial sensei

"AH! SPIKE! ARE YOU READY TO EMBRACE YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH ONCE MORE?!?"

'Here we go once again...'
