1 Humble Beginnings

Drip . . .
...
...
Empty . . .
Darkness . . .
A never-ending expanse of void . . .
Is this the afterlife?
I don't even know how I got here . . .
I was just sleeping then . . . blank . . .
I can't remember how I got here . . .
But I can still remember who I am, my memories still intact, well, except how I got here. I felt that time has gone by, and I am still here. Stuck in this never-ending void. Sigh.
What am I even doing here? Should I just keep waiting?
'Move'
I tell myself to move. I start walking, or specifically floating? Huh...
Never mind that, but I keep floating in one direction and the next thing I know . . .
'Light'
...
...
...
I open my eyes and see, a giant? Is that even a thing?
"It is a boy Aiko-san."
Oh, I was born? To a woman called Aiko. Japanese huh . . .
"Aiko-san! Hang in there! Doctor! She's losing blood!" screamed a woman.
"Get the baby out of here! Nurse, help me with this!"
"On it!"
"UUUUUWAAAAAHHHHH!!!" my pitiful excuse of a baby's cry.
I need to act like a baby to avoid being suspicious. I don't know where I am, and I just got born. Crying is pretty easy if you are in a baby's body after all. So cry!
After crying for I don't know how long, I got tired and my eyes slowly felt very heavy. The doctor and nurses are still shouting and seemed busy from the noise I hear. Don't care what will happen to the woman who gave birth to me, Aiko was it, but she better be alive. I still need someone to care for my basic needs, and I won't trust others yet. Hmmm...
'Is this because I subconsciously love my mother. That's shit if you ask me!'
But before, I genuinely slip into dreamland. I heard someone came in a hurry and the nurses screamed out a name that stuck very much in my small baby brain. Sandaime Kazekage.

(Timeskip. Age 5 months)
...
I'm currently in a house within Suna, or specifically in a crib. After my birth, I tried observing everything that's around me even if it is still a little bit blurry. But I did confirm two things about my current situation and environment. Well, what would you expect from chattering caretakers?
One, my mother, Aiko, passed away and left me to her closest relative. Two, I am in the Shinobi World of Naruto, I got really surprised because of the sudden appearance of the Sandaime Kazekage during my birth and post-birth. He was the closest relative my mother left me to. He was my uncle.
How did that happen, I don't know. I just know that I now got a gold thigh to lean on.
And here I am, in a crib. I am currently planning things on how I would move forward with my current situation.
...
Should I become a Shinobi? I should take the Shinobi route of course. What use would I be being born in the Kazekage Clan and having the Sandaime Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage in the history of Sunagakure as an uncle. It would be great if I also have the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, that would be pretty sweet.
'Ultimate Defense! Well, it really isn't the most powerful defense if you add up the Sage of Six Paths Truth-Seeking Balls. But it will do for now.'
I need to plan very carefully. This world is dark and dangerous, what more with the events that will happen in the future. Akatsuki, Madara Uchiha's resurrection, Kaguya's revival, Toneri's madness, and the coming of the other Otsutsukis.
Sigh.
'I need to get stronger fast! I need to reach a level that could compete with Sage of Six Paths level of opponents.'
'I will do everything until I can reach that goal and survive in this shitty world. Even use people as tools to reach my ultimate goal! Eternal Life!'
...

...
(Timeskip. Age 1 and a few months old)
...
I crawled a few months ago and started walking a month ago. Surprisingly, infant development is faster here than on earth, with chakra's presence and all aiding for speedier growth.
I also learned that my deceased mother is a cousin of the Sandaime Kazekage and that I have potentially the Magnet Style Kekei Genkai.
'Now that is good news'
Much better than being a civilian born one. That would indeed be a disaster in this dangerous world ruled by Shinobis.
Now, back to me. I did most babies do, I smile, act cute, and stumble a few times. While at night, I tried to sense my chakra and achieved it after 3 days of continued sensing. How that is possible, don't even ask me. Maybe my will as a reincarnated person?
'Nah.'
'Don't know.'
I was also surprised that I got a talent for being a sensor. This was because I can feel someone even when I turn close my eyes and sense them from a radius of 3 meters. I continued developing this sensing technique and started on some easy chakra control exercises. Not that hard and excessive as it may be bad for this weak body.
How I did it? Well, I ripped a few pages of books the caretakers brought me. I cut them into small pieces and tried to stick them on my forehead.
'Well that is a good start'
...
My first birthday happened, but it was just a small gathering of high-ranking shinobis with the Sandaime Kazekage as the primary host.
I almost forgot, I was named Akio after my late mother. It also means bright or luminous.
I wanted to begin my shinobi training as soon as possible, so I tried sensing the shinobis during my birthday. That got them really surprised, and I was praised as a prodigy. Even the Kazekage was proud that he has a progidy as a nephew.
'Be proud all you want golden thigh!'
'Good. It is going as planned.'
After my short skit, the Kazekage was greatly alarmed that I could have maybe damaged my body as it is unknown for a baby aged one-year-old to activate chakra what more sensing techniques.
The foremost healer in the entire Suna, Lady Chiyo, was asked to come and inspected my body and found nothing is wrong.
'Thank goodness.'
'But this is bad, she might have discovered something about me! That bitch needs to die!'
Whatever Bitch Chiyo said to the Kazekage calmed him down. And he ordered for me to be extremely taken care of.
'Well, that's good news! But I need to masked my emotions. Those caretakers may be ANBU and that is a great big bad thing.'
...
...
...
(Timeskip. Age 2 years old)
...
I began speaking the language of this world, and fluently spoke to my caretakers about my needs and wants. I still don't know if they are ANBU or not. I just smiled and acted cute in front of them and continue practicing my sensing ability.
'The language is pretty close to Japanese. Thankfully I have the mentality of a grown man.'
I also upped my chakra exercises by increasing the number of papers I can stick to my body. I can now hold 3 pieces. And my sensory technique's range has grown from a three-meter radius to four-meters. My chakra has also risen, far surpassing that of those my age.
'That would be because I was born in a Shinobi clan and have potentially a Kekkei Genkai'
My uncle has also arranged for a teacher to teach me the primary education program of Sunagakure and prepare me for Shinobi training when I reach the minimum age requirement.
This is good news as I won't need to scheme for me to enter the Academy. While I was taught basic knowledge by my assigned teacher, I showed fake enthusiasm, just like how I smile and act cute before my caretakers and uncle.
'Just two more years and I can enter the Academy. I can then hatch my plans of becoming stronger.'
...
...
...
(Timeskip. Age 4 years old)
...
My primary education program ran for a total of 2 years, I kept on acting cute and smiled all the time. I need to this up to avoid suspicions and as an efficient training in masking my real emotions.
'Disgusting'
During those gruesome times, I activated my long-awaited Kekkei Genkai, Magnet Release.
'Grin'
'This is pretty good. Going according to plan.'
With my continued chakra control exercises, it pushed my capacity to that of a high-Genin level. And enabled me to latch and move my chakra on the iron sand that I asked my caretakers to get. This delighted the Kazekage and the Shinobi council, now that they have a new S-rank Ninja in the making.
'In your dreams'
My uncle, the Kazekage, also began teaching me a few techniques I could do with my Kekkei Genkai.
'Swish'
'Swat'
'Swoosh'
This Magnet Release is pretty great. And from what I remember, the Iron variant of the Sandaime Kazekage is the strongest compared to Rasa's and Garaa's. But, I must try to delve into the other Shinobi branches such as Fuinjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu. Being completely reliant on the Iron Release would be a problem if I have an empty chakra.
Better keep that in mind then. Next up, to the Academy and begin my shinobi training.
