As the night moved on in Konoha, a young couple was strolling along with their child. The couple both seemed content with just walking in the night.
The guy seemed to be struggling to say something that was on his mind and after a few moments of hesitation, he finally spoke his mind.
"Honey... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you-"
"Shhh...It's ok, I know you didn't have a choice, I know how a shinobis life is. Konoha needs you more than anybody else right now
"
The now named Taki's body relaxed a bit before straining up.
"But it's no excuse, what kind of husband wouldn't be there when his wife is giving birth-."
and before he could go on any further, a slight cough came from his side.
"Wife? I didn't know we were already married, Taki.
Well, then where is my ring my dear "husband"?
She has a feline-like smile as she looks at her fingers with faux confusion.
"N-n-no I mean we're not married yet but it's not like, and it's not like I don't want to be married but-" However as he stammers on, a delicate hand reaches and shushes him.
"I know, I know, our finances right now is a bit...underwhelming, to say the least"
The man replies back with a sigh.
"I'm sorry, you aren't used to living like this Aida, and I'm just screwing everything up" Taki shakes his head in guilt.
However, she just smiles back at him and he goes quiet. After a few minutes
between them, Aida breaks the comfortable silence.
"You know...I like this boring yet simple lifestyle. I'm deciding my own life and my choices matter and it's...nice."
As she looks fondly to the moon above as Taki gently smiles at her.
"Aida, do you remember, just almost a year ago we were panicking about what to do. I still remember my decision that day"
"And?"
"My only thought was, would I ever regret this?"
"Well do you?"
"Yes"
"..."
"I regret not doing it earlier"
And he gently embraces his "wife".
"You scoundrel" she replies back with a blush.
However, this loving scene doesn't last long because a great evil is upon them, the Kyuubi.
Both of them freeze up, fear and shock evident upon their faces. The baby starts crying loudly and the couple breaks out of the trance drenched in cold sweat.
"W-what is that" The now understandably fearful Taki asks his wife.
"I don't know, but we gotta get out of here right now."
Aida quickly comes to her senses and goes for a dash while hugging her baby. She is remarkably fast as if she was trained to be a kunoichi.
Taki quickly follows behind them, giving his all to catch up.
However, as they run, the giant beast behind them is wreaking havoc on the village.
After running for a while Aida comes to a sudden stop. Taki finally catches up to her.
"Why did you stop? We gotta get out of here"
"No..., you get out of here with Hiro. I gotta stop that thing."
"What!! Are you crazy? You may have been strong but even the Hokage isn't a match for that...monster. Not to mention you're still weak"
Aida looks mournfully to her husband.
"I can't just sit here, not while that monster is killing civilians, they need me more than ever right now."
"AND WHAT! AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN LIFE?? Stop being stupid and let's get out of here. They never helped you, why should you risk your life for them?"
Tears stream down her face, as she clutches the baby in her arms more tightly.
"They're family...you wouldn't understand Taki. I promise I will come back, just take care of Hiro for me ok?"
"NO! I will-"
"Please!! I have to go, it's my duty, I ran away from my responsibility, just to be with you. Time caught up, and it's my turn now. Goodbye Taki and goodbye Hiro"
With a little peck on her son's face, Aida places him on the ground and says goodbye, and she disappears a swirl of leaves. With a yell, Taki tries to stop her but alas he was too late.
As if knowing her mother was gone, Hiro starts crying more and more. Taki quickly goes over and cradles him as he runs.
"It's ok, mommy will be back, she promised she will be back"
However, as Taki tried to choke back his tears, he knew that Aida wouldn't come back. She knew that too but she lied to herself. And that was the last time anyone has ever seen Aida.
Later Hiro ends up in an orphanage, not knowing his own mother's sacrifice or his destiny.
In the Konoha orphanage, a group of babies were sleeping next to each other. After the big disaster known as the demon Kyuubi, the orphanage got many more residents. In translation, a bunch of kids got no more parents anymore.
However, in the middle of the sleeping orphans was our now ex-dead guy now known as Hiro here.
After a few months, he got back some of his memories and was currently contemplating his new life now.
'Well fuck, what do I do now? I'm in the Naruto world, what do I fucking do!'
'Damn it, I did not sign up for this bullshit.
Well, I might have because I didn't even read the god damn contract!.
Ok, ok cool down. Just be more chill and you will figure a way out.'
However, to his utter surprise, his emotions got blocked. No no, not just his emotions, he could "feel" that he is somehow more logical and a bit more...blank. Somehow distant would be the right word.
If an outsider saw this scene, they would have thought it was right there with a horror movie scene.
A baby in bed in the middle of the night had the coldest and somehow blank face a human could have.
'What is this, I can somehow "feel" that something just changed, like some sort of limiter was released. You know what? I'm not even gonna question this one right now. I'm going to accept it.'
If the hypothetical people who saw the previous scene were still here, they would have run out by now.
The "baby" was now doing various expressions, sometimes it would look happy, other times sad. Even if babies had somewhat limited facial expressions it looked kind of natural. Well if it weren't that the baby kept scrolling through emotions and expressions in the blink of an eye.
Like some sort of NPC glitching out in the far future of 2077.
'Man this is weird, it's like I'm there but not at the same time.
Hmmm... I guess, video game avatar would be a good analogy to use.
The baby, which thankfully stopped and went back to the blank and apathetic state.
Anyway, so I need to make a list of everything. Thank god I'm not freaking out right now. It's as if everything is blocked, it's kinda creepy actually but this might end up helping me in the long run.
Ok, so my first order of business in the world is to "GODDAMN SURVIVE". This is the Naruto world, this ain't Kansas, so I have to be careful and paranoid as they come.
On the plus side, I think I could get some pretty sweet deals on super powered shenanigans. Even if I ignore the bloodlines, there are plenty of ways to get strong or aka survive.
Though I have to be super lowkey and careful.
Hmmm... who could threaten my newfound life right now? Well, it's pretty much everyone over the age of 5 now but who should I look out for exactly right now?
Orochimaru is definitely on the list, considering his weird and strange experiments, I bet he would like a reincarnation story. I think he was obsessed with immortality if I remember correctly.
Uh oh, I remember something, there is Danzo right now that I think about it.
He abducts children from orphanages and trains them for Root... wait a minute, that also reminds me of something too. Orochimaru also got some of his experiments from the orphanage and lo and behold I'm in that "orphanage"
"..."
Well fuck me, I already got my hands full.
Ok ok, moving past these two, in the future, the major villains are uhh let me think.
Zabuza/Haku, Gaara, Itachi, Akatsuki, Pain, Madara, That one guy who has snake cells that can use the resurrection jutsu...what was his name again uhh oh right, it was Kabuto?
Which leaves I think Obito/Tobi and the final Boss, Kaguya.
Now that I think about it these guys aren't too bad except maybe like Pain when he pretty much nuked the whole place.
The big bad boss Kaguya is a problem though, considering that Black Zetsu is trying to revive her by doing a century maybe millennia of spanning plots and schemes... which he does in the background by spying on people.
Ah fuck, now I have to be careful from him too. How do I even know he's there?
....
....
I don't... so I just have to be more careful in the future so as not to let anything slip.
Man, I have to be super paranoid, why can't I have my power fantasy dream harem as I blitz through the bosses with my Rinnegan or something.
The baby breaks his inner monologue with a sigh, which looks somewhat cute if you ignore his blank expression.
So what I have to do first is to be super lowkey and unassuming and just be a good boy in general, after which I can-
And so on the tiny infant tries to defy fate given to this body by changing his destiny with one step at a time.
