I am-[3]

Who am I?

I pondered the thought countless times since I had transmigrated here. I know that there was no one called 'Gintoki Senju' in the original manga, but this was the real world. 

What is the meaning of my existence? 

What is my purpose here? 

Am I really allowed to live like this? 

Is my fate already predetermined? 

"I am just a faker..." 

I mumbled. 

I got up from the bed and opened the door to the back yard and looked at the sky. The white moon shone illuminating the night sky.

I sat down in the wooden floor. 

Tell me God, what is my purpose? Why am I here in this world? I closed my eyes, the memories of my previous life still as clear as yesterday. 

I was just sixteen when I died. 

I was worthless but now I have a value, but I do not know whether I deserve this or not.

Slowly my eyes gave up on me as I found myself in darkness.

There I saw someone who I never would have thought I will ever see. 

My grandfather from my previous life. 

"Grandpa?" 

"Gin..." 

"Gin?" 

"Yes, Accept yourself." 

"But-"

He looked at me in the eyes. 

"Accepting is the path to enlightenment."

He continued.

"Accept who you are. Forget why you are and walk how and where you wish to walk." 

That hit me...

My mind became calm.

I had to accept. 

Acceptance is the path to enlightenment. 

I am-

"Remember this Gintoki, each path born is by heaven perfectly decided and at once perfectly free. As long as everything is left up to heaven." 

"Everything is pre decided yet you have the control."

"You are-" 

Yes, I am-

Gintoki Senju.

"Hahaha!" 

I laughed out loud. Finally, I had succeeded in tree climbing. This was wonderful. I felt like a ninja. 

But I was still just a beginner. I still had to master the water climbing exercise.

I jumped from the top of the tree. Even though it was high nothing happened as I walked towards the library of our clan. 

It was fabled place not only in Konoha but also in many other hidden villages. 

It was a place said to contain over thousand jutsus and books. 

The Senju's were known as the ninjas with thousand skills. 

And I had the access to it all!

This place had various traps and fuinjutsu formation to protect it. If any unregistered being were to enter the place, they will definitely be unable to leave. 

I took the scroll I was looking for. 

It was the Senju-style Taijutsu. The Konoha's standard academy taijutsu had also been derived from this particular style. 

Although, The Konoha's standard one is simplified to be easier and accounts for less strength and vitality as compared to us from the Senju clan.

It was derived from here. I started memorizing all the moves as well as where to strike them as well as how. 

I practiced in the library as it was very large; actually, the largest indoor place in the whole compound with many books more than thousand I presume. 

"If only I could learn Shadow clone jutsu.."

I sighed. I had large chakra reserves, but it was now only at the level of a low-level chunin. It was still not safe for me to use shadow clone jutsu.

I took the stance and started practicing the taijutsu. I delivered quick jabs and kicks in the air. 

I was feeling like I was dancing. 

I spun swiftly, launching my foot in a wide arc and kicked the air. 

Even kicks like 360 kick was easy for me and hell Ninjas were so fast that they could use these techniques in real fight. 

I then leaped into the air, spinning twice and unleashing a kick. It was 540 kick. 

I kept on practiced my kick as well as my concentration along with the kicks. I took a few leaves that was in the belt of my yukata.

With chakra I stuck the leaves in my head, two leaves. 

I then practiced the taijutsu again. 

It was just few days before I had to start going to Ninja Academy, the previous me had not one there due to me being sickly kid but since I have recovered, I was required to attend it.
