Sin 04: The First Step

POV Haru

A week has passed since the moment I reopened my eyes, how could I really hope I woke up in the body of a child, finally and permanently I had to leave behind my old life, beginning to live under the name of Haru Yoichi, Luis never again.

By the time I woke up I was in a hospital, it turns out that I had been connected to several machines, I had been asleep for a week.

It made sense if you ask me, after all the time it means being relative, that is to say that in that remote space my perception was still the same and therefore time tends to flow in a normal way, so all the time I was alone it was the same one that was asleep in the hospital.

When I woke up the first time I was a little scared, I didn't know how to act, in my mind I had the memories of Haru and Luis, therefore I couldn't act like a child even when I wanted to.

By closing my eyes and concentrating I could discern the memories more clearly, it was a way that I had so as not to get confused in my own brain.

It was in this way that I obtained the memories of Haru and knew everything that happened before my reincarnation, how were Haru's parents, how was his childhood and his life, but more importantly I could also see the end of his life. As the Yoichi family was brutally murdered by several men in rare armor, all under the command of a long-haired man.

The most important memories were not blurred but Haru's mother, Lailah tried to hide it preventing the child from correctly seeing the identity of the murderers.

After I woke up at least an hour later the door of the room opened, behind the nurse were two adults, one of them was the man who hugged me when I reincarnated, next to him was a woman with a slim build and brown hair , the expressions of both revealed the concern they felt.

As a holder of Haru's knowledge, I knew very well who these people were, it was the Hyodo family, their parents' best friends.

Both were very concerned about the situation and avoided talking directly about what happened, neither did they seek to inquire about what happened, after all Haru was still a child and like any child going through a similar situation was not easy.

To be honest, even having a more experienced life, it is difficult to see the memories of that night with ease.

In the end it turned out that I would have to spend time in the hospital for observations, as I was a child they had to ensure both my physical and mental health, while the Hyodo family had to fight for my custody.

During the first day I explored the system, when I called the system in front of me an orange screen appeared with three options, each time I pressed one a message appeared to help me understand the operation.

The first option is called Inventory which worked like a thermos, a space isolated from reality where I can store inert objects.

The second option is called Events, it is the section where the system delivers missions in exchange for points, more specifically system points or SP, each mission has different difficulties and has rewards according to the difficulty.

Finally there is the third option called Shop, in this place you can use the SP to buy different objects, everything is divided into sections these are Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Kekkei Genkai, Ninpo (arts of invocation), Weapons and finally Accessories.

It should be noted that I have 200,000 SP to make purchases, in addition to having the Byakugan in my body and of course the ability to mold chakra.

I finally decided to open the inventory where a welcome box awaited me, a box designed for the novice host.

The inside of the box contained some scrolls which had basic E-rank names of all jutsus, a book with the basic knowledge of a ninja, a basic manual on Taijutsu and a manual for hand positions, a whole set of items.

As a consequence of my time in the hospital I decided to start a training, the beginning of my training was to learn all hand stamps the basic principle of a ninja.

Pov Narrator

Haru spent a month in the hospital where he learned by heart all the hand stamps that the system book had written, at the same time he also managed to have a clear understanding of the chakra thanks to his knowledge of the original story when he saw it on the internet during his first life.

During the month inside the Haru hospital he was visited several times by the son of the Hyodo family, Issei who always brought sweets for Haru.

Finally when Haru was discharged, the Hyodo family had obtained Haru's direct guardianship because Haru had no family member and his parents had left a will in case of any accident.

"Okay, here we are Haru-chan, this will be your new home now" said Mrs. Hyodo laying her hands on Haru's shoulders.

Haru stared at the house without saying anything, as a person who had the experience of two lives knew very well in the situation they were in and could also imagine the feelings of the Hyodo couple.

"Will Haru be my brother now?" Issei asked innocently breaking the ice of the environment, Mrs. Hyodo gave a fleeting glance to her husband and they both looked at Haru who was looking at Issei

Haru only smiled slightly and lifted his shoulders "It seems that from now on we will both be brothers" Haru said and then was pulled by Issei into the house causing a sigh of relief in the Hyodo couple because they did not know how Haru would react to the situation current.

"Well we can take this as a good sign" said Mr. Hyodo looking at Haru and Issei

"We must do everything we can for Haru, after all Lailah and Ziusudra would have done the same for Issei if something had happened to us" she replied to Mrs. Hyodo walking forward with a warm smile while looking at the back of her two children.
