Chalter 2

Chapter 2: Reunion and Penalty

"M-mom?!"

"Morning sochi-kun! It seems that you have regained your memory also huh~?" Said the woman in a cheery voice.

"Huh? Wait, what? What do you mean 'also' regained my memory? And how are you here?! Aren't you dead? Did you also got sent here to sav-"

"Mah mah, Naru-kun. You talk to much for someone who just came here. Come on, go get ready and come downstairs. Your father and I will be waiting. And don't be late! Or else your breakfast will get cold." Said the woman before she disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"...Did.. she just used the Shunshin no Jutsu..?" Said naruto, confused as to how his mother could use and mold chackra.

"Did she uses chakra... Or is it mana manipulation?.. Meh whatever, she said that dad is also here, does that mean..." Eyes widening, Naruto got ready and goes downstairs as fast as he could.

When he reach downstairs,the first thing he sees is a handsome blond man sitting on the table with a newspaper in his right hand and a cup of coffee in the other. This blond man has blue eyes and a chiseled face.

The blond man took notice of him and directed his eyes towards Naruto and smile. "Good morning... Naruto.."

Behind the blond man, came a woman from before who also greeted Naruto.

"Mhm, good morning Naru-kun. Now get your ass over here and give us both a hug!" She said smiling widely.

Tears dwelled up in Naruto's eyes, not tears of sadness, but the one of happiness. He ran, as fast as his little legs allowed him to, and hug both of them while crying his heart out in their embrace.

Time skipped to after Minato and Kushina explain their entire life in this new world

"Okay okay, let me get this straight.. Both of you are also reincarnated into this new world as an orphan and regained your past-life memory when you are 5.. Then you guys awakened as a 'Hero' and got sent into this Military school. After that, you are then sent to the Academy where you further your study in becoming a full-fledged Hero. As soon as you both graduate, you put on a mask to hide your identity from the world and go by the name 'Yellow Flash' and 'The Red Death'. A few years later both of you become one of the TOP HEROES among 2 Million people, you guys are placed in the top 30?! And not only that, but at the same time you guys do your work as a Hero, both of you, in your real identity as Minato and Kushina, founded/created a company that is focused on the medical department?? AND THAT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH SO YOU GUYS CREATED A FREAKING GUILD USING YOUR 'HEROES' IDENTITY AND MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP 3 GUILD IN KOREA?!?!? ...Did I miss anything..?" said Naruto re-telling everything his parents told him.

(Important details coming! Must read!)

In short, Minato and Kushina had not only been an unknown Top Hero to the world. But also a well-known owner of the biggest medicinal and medical company in the world. This company not only founded the cure of cancer, but also found a way to wake people up from a deep coma using a machine they created. They also operated not only in Korea, but also around the world. Currently, there are more than 69 RnD Centre of their company around the world. In other words, they are already one, if not, the richest family in the whole world.

Other than that, The guild, also known as The Uzukaze Guild (Uzumaki+Namikaze) is the current rank 3rd guild in Korea has also been founded and created by both Minato and Kushina under the aliases Yellow Flash and The Red Death. With the fund from their company, they do not need any other hero or hunter under their guild except only those who are on the higher ranking of the leaderboard. Yes, The Uzukaze Guild Has only around 50+ Hero/Hunter including both Minato and Kushina.

Why, you may ask? This is because, they do not want any.. well.. for the lack of better words, traitors, within their rank. You might be wondering, what do I mean by that right? You see, most guilds would want to send their spies to their opposing guild with a fixed amount of reward. The reward won't be high because they do have other Hero/Hunter to focus on rather than those spies. So, most spies are that of a low-ranked Hunter/Hero. But, what if the guild they are targeting only took in the strongest of the strongest? They of course couldn't afford to hire a high-ranking Hero/Hunter since it would take a lot of resources. So what did they do?

They just left them alone...

And that's how The Uzukaze Guild got into the top 3 ranking on the leaderboard. The only reason they are at number 3 is because of their lack of members.

Not that they need any when the Shadow Monarc- I mean, Naruto is there.

Minato who said nothing just laughed at his son's expression while sipping his coffee. While Kushina on the other hand, has just finished cooking and is preparing the table.

"Sigh... it seems that you must have known about me awakening my memory when I turned 5 right?"

"Well... not really.." said Minato.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" asked Naruto while Kushina poured some rice into a bowl and passed it to her husband and son.

"You see, we do theorise that you might also be reincarnated into this world when you reached of age, but, we have no way of proving it's correct until you awakened it yourself." replied Minato.

"Ahh, I see... Then do you guys know why we are reincarnated into this world? Or maybe there is someone else who also reincarnated from another world or something?" asked Naruto although he already knew the answer. They are all brought to this world to save it and change the future from reaching the same ending as in the novel. Naruto ask this question just to know if his parent's know about the future and prepared accordingly. If so, then it would justify all the achievement they did during their short time in this world.

But the answer Naruto was expecting was wrong. "Nope. We have no idea of how and why we are bought into this world, but.. If it means a second chance with my family.. Then I will take it." said Minato with a saddened expression remembering their past life.

"I might have made.. A LOT of mistakes in my past life, but it seems that I've been given a second chance to correct it.. so, I'm going to give it my best to provide my family with the best life possible." said Minato with determination in his eyes while looking at his wife and son. "I just wanna say.. that I love you both and all I.. WE did in this live, are all for the better future.. for both our family, and the world."

Smiling at her husband's speech she said "Fufufu~, it seems like you still have that 'Hokage' speech, my dear."

"Haha, is that so?"

Smiling at both of his parents interaction, Naruto looked down at his hands and thought 'Dad's right.. This is my second chance at life.. And I need to live my life to the fullest..! I swear that I will be the strongest in this world and live a peaceful life with my love ones!'

As soon as Naruto thought about 'Becoming The Strongest' the system window suddenly opened up in front of him.

tiinggg-!

'Huh..?' Naruto then stopped eating and looked at the status window. 'Ohh~ There's a timer for this quest huh..?'

"Hmm? What are you looking at Naruto?" His father ask.

'Can't they see this status window?' "Oh, uhm, it's nothing to worry about. Anyways what did you say about-" Naruto tried to continue their conversation. 'Well, I guess only I can see this status thing. I will do the quest later, for now I want to spend as much time with my family.'

Little did he know.. that it was the worst idea to ignore the quest.

0o0o0o0

2hr and 26min later

"Phew, damn that's some good food." Said Naruto as he plop down on the bed facing the ceiling.

"I wonder if I can truly save this world.. Meh whatever. I've done it once, and I can do it twice. But now.. with a lot more help than before. Uuu~ and let's not forget that I know of the future! Then I can live a peaceful life with my parents and have a wife or two.. or three! Hehe~ My life has never been this easy Loll."

Oh how wrong can he be..

Naruto then started closing his eyes as he was starting te feel sleepy.

"Fwahhhh~ Alright, i should go to sleep now. Even though it's morning. I mean.. Hey, someone who just got reborn must be tired right? Hehe~." Slowly, he started to close his eyes.

Behind the display of the system screen, stood a scary looking sandworm kind of monster with its sharp spiky teeth looking at Naruto while its saliva fall to the sand.

Naruto gain a fearful expression with sweats dripping all over his body

"Your kidding right..?"

The desert stretches out endlessly before your eyes, a sea of golden sand that shimmers under the scorching sun. Elegant dunes rise and fall like waves frozen in time, creating a mesmerizing landscape of curves and shadows. In the distance, the deep azure sky meets the sandy horizon, blending together in a seamless display of nature's grandeur. Occasional tufts of hardy desert vegetation peek out from the sand, providing a stark contrast to the vast expanse of arid beauty. The silence envelops you like a warm embrace, broken only by the occasional whisper of the wind as it dances across the dunes, shaping and reshaping them in an eternal ballet. This desert is a place of stillness and serenity, where time seems to stand still and the beauty of the natural world is on full display.

Ah~ What a beautiful scenery of the desert. Must be the first thought of anyone seeing this picture for the first time. But for our little protagonist, it couldn't be more false.

Shwooosh-!

Chak-! Chak-! Chak-!

The sound of wind together with the sound a foot stepping on the sand can be heard throughout the desert.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

..And also the shout of someone who was about to be eaten.. Alive.

GRAHHHHHHHHK-!

(A/N: I don't know how the worm sounded like 💀💀 I'm sorry- 😭🙏🙏)

Naruto tried to look back to see where the worm is at. But what he sees litterally gave him a heart attack.

It was just about to catch him! But then..

MUST READ A/N :

A/N:

If you guys noticed, Naruto status window stats is kinda low. Yes that's true, this is because Naruto is still A KID!!

He's 5 years old. Don't forget it lol.

Secondly, I put in some Naruto anime references such as the Uzumaki longevity and Large chakra reserved to make it more realistic.

And last but not least, I'm using Solo Leveling stats system. And not the TNE stats system because its easier.

Anyways in the Solo Leveling manhwa. Jin Woo starting stats are like so:

[Status]

Name: Sung Jin Woo

Job: None

Title: None

HP: 100

MP: 10

Level: 1

Fatigue: 0%

____________

Strength: 10

Agility: 10

Sense: 10

Vitality: 10

Intelligence: 10

____________

Remaining Points: 3

See the difference?

You guys can go on chapter 12 of Solo Leveling to read this stats.

So, yeah, I did change a few things here and there. It's all to make it more realistic and much more enjoyable.

Anyways that's all for today, see you guys next chapter loll.

Thank you for reading.

LEAVE A MESSAGE WOOOOOO PLS.
