Death... Blooms with life

The television in the living room blared the latest breaking news as Jane sat on her couch, staring at the screen in shock. The headline read: "Alexander Thompson, Renowned Businessman, Found Dead in His Home."

Her mind raced as she tried to comprehend the news. She had met Alex only a few times, but even in those brief encounters, she had been struck by his charismatic presence and razor-sharp mind. He had been a force to be reckoned with in the business world, a true visionary who had made a name for himself by taking risks and pushing boundaries.

The news anchor's somber voice broke through her thoughts. "Details are still emerging, but sources say that Alex was found dead in his home late last night. The cause of death is currently unknown, but authorities are investigating the matter as a potential homicide."

Jane's heart sank as she thought about the possible implications of this news. Alex had been a major player in the business world, with countless connections and investments in a variety of industries. His sudden death was sure to send shockwaves through the market and could potentially disrupt the delicate balance of power in the business community.

As the news anchor continued to report on the story, Jane's mind drifted to the last time she had seen Alex. It had been at a charity event, and he had been holding court with a group of investors, his easy charm and quick wit drawing people to him like moths to a flame.

Now, all of that was gone. Alex had been a giant in the business world, but in the end, even he had been powerless against the cruel hand of fate. Jane couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and loss at the news of his passing.

"This..this is rather intriguing is it not I should be shocked yet I can't feel any emotions is this what it feels like to be ripped out of the mortal world" Alex chuckled to himself

"Sure ill accept your rather one-sided offer not like I have a choice in the matter" Alex stated

"ahh here we go from my limited knowledge of anime and comics only one power stands out, I would like the Geass utilized by Lelouch, The Power of Absolute Obedience without any of the adverse effects ie. My body not being able to handle the power of the Geass".

•••••••••••••••••••Linebreaker•••••••••••••••

Alex took a deep breath and closed his eyes, feeling the sudden rush of wind and the sound of his own heart pounding in his ears. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself staring up at a stone ceiling, the sun shining blaring through the curtain on him with a warm, comforting glow.

As he sat up, Alex realized that he was no longer the man he had been before. Instead, he was a small, helpless baby, wrapped in swaddling cloth and lying on a bed of soft cushions.

-------Timeskip incoming-----

At 2 years old, Alex was fully aware of the dangers that lurked in the world of Naruto. He had been taken in by a kind matron who owns an orphanage in the land of the mist, but he knew that he needed to be able to defend himself and fast given how Kirigakure got the nickname

And so, Alex began to train diligently. He spent long hours practicing his swordsmanship with a wooden stick, under the guidance of a book he found in one of the older kids' beds that he did not steal. He spent hours memorizing the exact angle and speed of each strike and honed his reflexes, learning to dodge and parry.

Yo Kazu how's it hanging, still figuring out how to use Water Release: Water Senbon

Kazu broke the silence. "Have you heard the rumors, Alex?"

Alex raised an eyebrow. "What rumors?"

"About the 3rd Shinobi War," Kazu said. "People say it's going to start soon."

Alex's expression grew serious. "I've heard some things too. The older kids have been talking about it.

"Do you think it's true?" Kazu asked.

"I don't know," Alex said, shaking his head. "But if it is, we need to be ready. Kids aren't exempt from war"

Kazu nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're right. We need to train harder, so we can protect our village."

The Third Shinobi War had been brewing for some time, but it wasn't until Alex turned 8 and Kazu's 12th birthday that it finally broke out in full force.

Without any warning, any able kids were sent straight to the academy where they began their training alongside other orphans and children of Shinobi. Alex and Kazu were placed in a class together, under the watchful eye of Sensei Hoshimi.

It's been a month since the war started and Kirigakure could already feel the damage to its economy. To help with their economy they started to send more Genin on missions that involve our fated protagonist

Alex had just graduated from the academy. And They were assigned to a mission that involved disrupting the trade route of Konoha, one of the major hidden villages in the land of fire

*sigh* "I just graduated and now I have to make enemies with Konoha just great really, why couldn't I be born in Konoha at least I wouldn't have to worry about being allies with literal suicide bombers' that could explode if you sneeze to loud Alex thought

"Whatever I got to make preparations for tomorrow after all my pawns have already been placed competing this mission shouldn't hurt my reputation" Alex muttered to himself

As they were preparing for the mission, Alex took the lead in devising a plan. He knew that they would be outnumbered and outmatched, so he wanted to make sure they had the element of surprise on their side.

"Kazu, we need to gather as much information as we can before we make our move," Alex said, pacing back and forth in their dorm room. "We need to know their supply routes, their schedules, and any potential weaknesses in their defenses."

Kazu nodded in agreement. "But how do we do that without getting caught?" he asked.

Alex smiled. "That's where my Geass comes in handy," he thought though Kazu doesn't need to know about this, referring to his power of absolute obedience. "I'll use genjutsu after all it is my specialty. to control the minds of their guards and gather the information we need without raising suspicion."

Kazu looked impressed. "That's a good plan," he said. "But what about when we make our move? We can't just rely on your Genjutsu to get us through everything."

Alex nodded. "Right. That's where you come in your skills in water release should help us to take them by surprise. We'll attack their supply carts at night, when they least expect it. We'll hit them hard and fast, and then disappear into the mist before they even realise what's happening.
