~Aka POV~

I placed the scroll back into the box, got out of the bathroom and resumed my search in hope of finding other useful things.

However i had very little success, all i could find was some money, one C rank jutsu and an old academy book.

As i was turning away towards the door to end my exploration, i felt something holding me back from leaving, all my instincts were telling me to stay, every strand of hair on my body was leaning in the direction of a picture of both of my parents.

It's as if the DNA in side my body was acting up and feeling attracted to the said picture, i was freaked out but quickly calmed down, i was no longer in a 'normal' world so i'll have to get used to things deemed as illogical in my former world.

I walked towards the picture, picked it up, and started staring at it. My father had a handsome face, spikey black hair and golden eyes 'so my eyes and face are from my father and the hair from my mother', I thought 'but it's not the picture that attracts me'

I then took the picture off it's frame, there was piece a piece of crumbled paper on the back of it, i opened it and looked at its content. It was a plain silver ring with no decoration whatsoever.

The very instant i touched it, lights started radiating once again inside the apartment, 'Do i have to be blinded every time i touch unknown stuff? Is someone doing this on purpose?' i complained mentally. When the lights finally dimmed the ring was already on my index finger.

I tried removing it, but it was in vain, no matter how hard i tried it just won't go off, I even tried breaking it by slamming it with a hammer, but it didn't work, as if it's indestructible.

As i was distracted thinking what kind of weird item this is, i heard the caretaker calling me: " Aka, we have to go, the ninja uncle said your time is up".

I replied: "COMING", 'since i can't take it off, there is nothing i can do about it, so let's leave it to time to reveal what it is' i thought, 'there is no harm visible on my body, and it belonged one of my parent's, o it is very unlikely that it will be harmful to me' while rushing out of my future property.

( END OF FLASHBACK NO JUTSU )

This returns us to the present day, i'm currently walking on the streets of konoha while admiring the village like a tourist, well i would say a city rather than a village, i don't understand why they call the five great villages 'villages', i mean they're all as big or even bigger than a capital of a county in my former world.

Well, nonetheless, it is a sight to behold, everything looks so different than in the anime, obviously, there is no room for comparison between real-life and some drawings.

It seems i reincarnated somewhere between the second great shinobi war and the third one, so i assume i'm about kakashi's age, a year or two give or take. I have decided not to activate my chakre until i turn 3, i already succeeded in sensing it, it's located in my gut area as stated in the anime, but i prefer to not mess up with my young body, and i DEFINITLY don't plan on attracting the attention of a certain one-eyed control freak.

...

As i was walking towards the Hokage-rock, i spotted a small restaurant with the name 'ichiraku ramen', i am both surprised and exited at the discovery. As this is the place hailed as the ramen-paradise.

~General POV~

Aka walks in and struggles to take a seat due to his short height, a young man notices him and addresses him chuckling: " welcome Mr costumer".

Aka frowns inwardly: 'is he mocking me?', but smiles brightly on the outside," what's the best ramen you have, uncle Teuchi?"

"oh? you know me?" asks the man now identified as Teuchi slightly surprised.

"of course i know the man that makes the best ramen in the world", answers Aka while smirking mentally 'time for payback'

"Ahaha, really? well i guess i really make the best ramen. Behold, as i am the ultimate ramen chef" says Teuchi while bursting out in laugher.

"AH! are you one of those presumptuous people uncle? the caretaker of the orphanage said they're people who praise themselves" says Aka as childishly as he can.

Teuchi stops laughing and his eyebrows started twitching, while the other costumers tried their hardest to hide their laugher. Aka tilted his head in supposed confusion, but inwardly he is having the time of his life: 'it's so fun to tease people'.

And then a certain blond interfered while smiling: "well, i think you misinterpreted your caretaker's explanation".

Aka looked at the teenager that seems to be the same age as teuchi and thinks: 'Bingo! an opportunity to start a conversation with Minato! i saw the future fourth Hokage. I already saw him when i entered the shop but i didn't have a reason to talk to him as it would seem suspicious'.

"is that so?" replies Aka while glancing at the company of Minato, it was a red haired teen with a beautiful face that he recognizes as Kushina, the current jinchuuriki of the nine-tails, and the future mother of the child of the prophecy. But it wasn't pleasant at all for him to meet her: "Shit! why kushina? now out of all times, will she recognize me as an Uzumaki? can she feel my emotions with the help of the nine tails? does she know i'm acting???' a lot of thoughts crossed his mind making him panic, but it all happened in a split second before he forcefully calmed himself down.

she then starts speaking: "wh...
