Chapter 2 Troubles Part 1

Massacre here massacre there almost all of them are massacre scenarios and there's even an option where I'm a lab rat

What should I choose?

"Do you mind if I take a moment to think this over?"

[Sure kid I'm in no rush]

Alright, I'm definitely not going with the first list even if it means I'd be relatively safe. I didn't agree with the idea of bloodline superiority in my original world but it doesn't change the fact that it matters in the world of Naruto especially when it comes to potential.

Uchiha, Senju, and Ōtsutsuki are also off the list. I just don't see myself getting out alive in those situations.

I'll take Hyuga off as well, starting in the middle of the battlefield and so far into the story isn't going to help me and I might even die since I have no combat experience except for the fight I had with a terrorist.

Now the Chinoike clan is actually. an interesting option. From what I remember chino was even able to push back Sasuke even if it was for a little while. I probably would've chosen this clan too if I didn't already have an ocular power so this one is a dud as well I guess.

Kaguya clan... yea I won't even mention them with their bloodline disease and all.

Now that leaves me with the Uzumaki. I remember they were destroyed by a joint effort of different shinobi villages but I'm not sure if it was all of them or just the majority of them. Though my chance of surviving would still be good since many Uzumaki women and children were able to escape by hiding in the smaller nations like Karin and Nagotos families.

Uzumaki also gives some pretty good perks like High amounts of chakra, strong bodies, and talent with Fuinjutsu which is always good to have.

After taking some more time to rethink my thoughts and organize my anime knowledge to see if there was anything I missed. Once that was done I decided I was ready and walked over to the kami

[HoHo it seems like you've made your choice I can see the determination in your eyes boy let's hope you made a good one]

giving him a confident smile "yea I'm ready I choose to be reborn as an Uzumaki"

[Uzumaki huh not what I would've chosen but still pretty good, glad to see that the gift your getting isn't gonna be wasted]

"What would you have chosen?"

[Eh ignore me just thinking out loud plus you've already chosen so no takebacks. Now that we're done with that it's time for you to head off to your new world]

"Wait! Before you send me can you tell me some more information like will I be sent already as an adult or will I get that body's memory or will I be born 1 hour before Uzushiogakure's destruction?" I say with worry all over my face since these are some bad scenarios

Damn, I guess I didn't think this through I should've asked more about the situation before saying my choice!

[I'll only give you some info beforehand but everything else you're going to have to find out on your own. You will be taking over a 3-year-old body and yes you will receive those memories. Also, I forgot to mention this earlier but you will also be slightly affected by Akashi Seijūrō original personality. Whether it's a good or bad change is the luck of the draw, you will still be yourself so don't worry too much.]

eh, I guess that's not too bad. I'll probably be escaping with the rest of the women and children then.

Now the personality merge also shouldn't bother me too much as long as I don't get his god complex I'm good.

"Alright, Kami I'm ready for my next adventure!"

[Haha yes that's the spirit head off to the portal and jump through then your new life shall begin. I wish you luck child maybe if you save this world will meet again.]

With excitement, I run over to the portal and stop at the edge to look dramatic for extra effect.

I should say something before heading out since this truly feels like I'm officially leaving my old life behind. Ah! I know what I'll say

looking towards the Kami one last time "So this is where the fun begins" I say right before falling backward into the portal

[Hm what a weird kid]

- Moments Later -

A redhead boy can be seen twisting and turning in his bed while grabbing his head. His eyes clenched in pain and gritting in pain he finally lets out a wail and jumps up covered in sweat.

"ARGHHHH!"

Akashi slid off his bed with his eyes filled with confusion before they shown bright with clarity and wisdom clearly beyond that of a 3-year-old boy

With his head and eyes still in pain he groggily walked toward the bathroom to wash his face before looking at his image in the mirror.

he saw an image of a boy that looked so foreign yet familiar.

"So this is me," Akashi said while touching his face and examining his reflection in the mirror.

"I'm quite handsome or should I say cute since I'm 3? Eh, I'll say handsome."

looking back at the mirror once more "So this is me Akashi Uzumaki grandson of Ashina Uzumaki the current clan head and leader of the land of Whirlpools"

sigh this situation would've been great if it had not been for our impending destruction in 1 hour

Well at least I have the eye of Kagura at least I think that's what it is since I can sense people from pretty far

while Akashi was busy worrying about his situation another person butter into the restroom

"Akashi! Are you alright I heard a scream"

Turning to the woman at the door I recognized her quite quickly Mina Uzumaki my mother and also the niece of Mito Uzumaki the niece of Mito Uzumaki.

"Ah, it was nothing Mom I just had a nightmare. Everyone in the village has been acting so differently lately that I got scared"

Listening to me my mom had a look of realization on her face but also a hint of fear.

Looks like they also know what's coming.

quickly after My mother tried to put on a brave face and walked over and hugged me. "Don't worry Akashi everything's going to be alright I promise"

Mom, I don't think that a promise you can keep but I understand where she's coming from. It's important for parents to be strong in front of their children after all.

looking at my mom one more time I can still see fear evident in her eyes.

Damnit it why did I have to inherit this kid's memories now I actually care about the clan.

at first, I was just going to run for it the first chance I had with no regrets but now... I don't think I can run without trying even if I'm only 3. Akashi's memories aren't the only thing affecting me somehow I even feel a sense of pride inside like I refuse to be defeated. Tch looks like my personality really did change.

Even though I took down a terrorist in my last life that doesn't I lived bravely and with courage, no I lived like a coward and had social anxiety issues. Me fighting that guy at the end really was out of the norm for me.

Well, it's not like gaining some pride and a will to fight is a bad thing, If anything it's going to give me an edge here.

Turning back towards my mom and looking at her face one last time I give into the emotions in my heart and make my decision.

"Mother do you think you can take me to Grandfather and Father I need to speak with them."
