Prologue

I looked at the person in front of me while kneeling, realising that I am fucked.

The person I was leaning to, is someone who most fanfic reincarnators are cautious, and their greatest danger in the growing years.

Danzo Shimura.

I just got recruited to the ROOT.

------------------------------

After dying to Truck-kun, I was reincarnated into the world of Naruto, an an orphan in Konoha around the time of Kyuubi Attack.

Well, I was born on 9th October, just a day before he wrecked havoc and my 'parents' got killed.

My orphanage was the same one as Naruto.

To avoid getting kidnapped by ROOT, I intentionally made myself the most well-known and popular kid in the orphanage.

But... well... it looks like it backfired, given that I am kneeling in front of Danzo of all people, along with several 3 year old kids.

I can only pray that he doesn't bring out a Yamanaka to check my memories.

That will be the worst thing that can happen.

"Your parents weren't from Konoha. They just came here to deliver you-"

Wording... wouldn't 3 year olds take it as if their parents abandoned them and delivered them to Konoha as newborn babies?

"-but don't worry. Konoha will take care of you."

Everyone happily smiled at the thought, and I too, trying to mimic their reactions.

"You don't have any parents. Konoha is your parent. And you must protect it."

...

Who asks children to protect their parents? Isn't it the other way round?

"Darkness bla bla bla no name for you, just ROOT."

After babbling a bunch about his propaganda, he gave us 'names'.

He called me 'Ichi'. One, as the leader of these kids.

How original.

"Now, check their memories."

Oh SHIT!

If he finds out my memories, he might even get rid of me after my usefulness is severed, and that I might become a threat to him that might betray him in the future!

"Danzo-sama. I see a vision."

I said, making the ROOT ninja headed towards me halt.

"Vision? What vision?"

I... have to somehow convince him so that he doesn't read my mind.

"Actually... I often have dreams of future..."

"Hmm, really? Then do tell, what these dreams tell you?"

"Can I have a paper? I need to draw something to tell you it clearly."

"Give her a paper."

Now... I need to give him something that he wants, and that he can soon verify.

I drew a Sharingan. A Mangekyo Sharingan.

Kotoamatsukami to be exact.

Wrote 7 besides it, to signify that he awakened it at the age of 7, and Danzo kneeling.

And the last thing, a faceless boy with Jiraiya, with a sun behind him.

Looking at Danzo, I had his attention.

He took the paper, and stared it for a long time.

"What does this mean?"

"My visions always start at random points of my future.

When I was... less than an year old, I saw this image in my dream."

I pointed at the 'sunny faceless boy' with Jiraiya.

"Something called 'Child of Prophecy'."

Danzo must know about this.

"And?"

"Umm... it isn't very clear... but I see someone with this eye pattern-"

I pointed at Kotoamatsukami.

"staring at you and me, putting us under his control. And after that, everything goes blank. I can't predict future beyond that. Something about my 'mental energy' getting disturbed.

Please, you must protect me from this strange eye!"

I kneeled in the Japanese requesting position, placing my head on the ground.

Danzo must know about Jiraiya talking about Child of Prophecy. This must confirm that either I have knowledge way beyond a normal spy could have.

And he must realise that this is a pattern of Mangekyo Sharingan. In the entire ninja world, only higher-ups of maybe all villages and old people who has lived through the era of Hashirama and Madara know about the Mangekyo Sharingan.

And, he wants a Mangekyo Sharingan, and is afraid of it.

The only source of information about this MS is me right now.

And 'disturbing mental energy' can be genjutsu, but also searching through my mind.

I just hope he doesn't search my mind in fear of losing my ability to see into the future.

"What does this '7' mean?"

"I don't know. It just appeared in my dream."

I have taken a huge risk here. If Danzo just found out that I have memories of my past life, which included knowledge of this world, there is a less than 1% chance that he wouldn't kill me even after obtaining all information from me.

But, if he found out that I intentionally lied about it, I will definitely be killed.

"Check her mind."

SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!

I AM GOING TO DIE!

Please god! Send a cheat my way! Atleast a system to protect my mind!

Please!

I desparately prayed as the ROOT ninja approached me.

My heart was beating like a bullet bike.

He put his hand on my head, and I gave up praying, preparing myself to get reincarnated again somewhere. Maybe I won't be lucky enough to retain my memories the next time.

But suddenly, the ROOT ninja who put his hand on me dropped to the ground.

Huh!?

He had a huge hole through his head, and suddenly, I felt something within me shift.

My vision improved a lot, and my body felt like it was covered in something.

And, I was not in control.

*CHOMP!*

I bit the ninja's head off, and saw a huge tongue and sharp teeth tearing off his skull, revealing his brain.

Food!

A monstrous voice sounded in my mind, and my body, no longer in my control, ate the brain of the ninja.

I couldn't even shut my eyes at the gruesome scene!

I didn't feel any sympathy for him, but only fear for myself.

Yet, the fear converted into excitement as I felt a surge of chakra entering me, along with the ninja's memories, which also had the technique to protect one's mind.

Suddenly, I was beaten up on the head by Danzo's stick, snapping me out of the trance, once again in control of my body.

I moved my arms in front of me, and I saw them covered in some sort of purple alien goo.

I realised something...

I had a symbiote.

Plot armour has just saved my life...
