Zoro P.o.V

The morning sun lights a large room inside the Uzumaki Compound as I try to cover my eyes from the sun's rays, trying desperately to gain a little bit more sleep before my day begins. Unfortunately for me it was at that moment that the sound of mom came asking me to wake up , I look at my right and saw that Oto-san was fast asleep, his dreams as nonsensical as a dream could be but then a mischievous glint appeared in my eyes.

I stood up from my bed, stretched a little and then there was no then

" It's CANNONBALL time !"

I started rushing towards oto - San before jumping in the air and body slamming him as the air in his lungs left him and he woke up gasping for air and wanting to know what just happened. That would be answered in the form of a small red haired boy yelling at him to wake up while at the same time chuckling to himself.

At this time Okaasan comes in the room

I waited for dad to get up, I pouted with my cheeks puffed while I sat in mom's lap. "You promised." I said to him as he rose from bed to look at me.

For a moment dad wasn't sure what I was even talking about until his brain finally started to turn on for the day, "Promised wha…Oh right!" Dad said before bringing me in a hug "Happy third Birthday, now can I get some sleep please." He said in as much of a joking manner as his tired self would allow.

I grew annoyed as I looked to mom "Mom tell him to get up, he's so lazy."

Mom smiled at me and said "He needs a little bit more time than you , let's get grandpa up first." I nodded as dad got off the bed and I went to grandpa's room to cannonball him , I mean to wake him up.

After waking grandpa up I went looking for what I wanted to wear on my birthday as I flung most of my clothes on the ground in a small pile messing up my side of the room which was only just cleaned yesterday. Annoyed with my antics Mom helped me pick out something for me to wear, eventually settling on a red kimono.

"Coffee's ready." Mom said from the kitchen while handing him dad cup made the way he likes the most and then going to her room to dress up .

I was sitting next to dad while I ate my breakfast.

As the family ate I looked at dad, eyeing his coffee. "Why do you always drink that anyway?" He asked as dad looked to eye the three year old, "You'll know when you're older." He said with a smirk as I pouted in my chair.

' Actually I know , I used to drink coffee a lot in my previous life. Why are 3 year olds not allowed to drink coffee ? ughhhh ' I grumbled internally.

Once Mom came back from getting ready , Dad got up and went to get ready himself.

I ate my fill , much more of a task then one would think due to the bottomless pit of stomach of mine thanks to my Uzumaki physique.

One dad came back after getting ready, I went to him and said " You promised me , you will be giving me a wooden sword on my third birthday and will help me unlock chakra. "

"Look son I will give you the wooden sword but you are still too young to have your chakra unlocked."

"But" I gave him a puppy eyed look with my eyes throwing stars at him

He looked at me for a minute then said " How about I teach you basics of fuinjutsu and on your next birthday I will help you unlock your chakra."

' That doesn't sound that bad ' I instantly got happy and hugged my dad who patted me on my head gently.

At this time , Grandpa came and put me in a bear hug and said " Oh my tiny little Zoro has become so big, Happy birthday little Zoro . Tell grandpa what gifts do you want? Do you want a A class water ninjutsu or one of those elder's daughter that keeps looking at you? I will get my little grandson everything.

I was about to ask for the water jutsu but mom came in and said " father don't give him such things until he is old enough for them or he will get hurt.Do you want to see your Little grandson hurt?"

Hearing this Grandpa got scared " No I can't see my grandson hurt. It's decided I will get you some protective seals for your birthday so you don't get hurt."

' Well I will take that but still A rank water jutsu was better.'

" Thankyou Grandpa you're the best ! "

So Yes you heard it right today is my third birthday and I love my new life. My family is very loving and supporting to me . I started to talk and walk when I was just 1 year old . My grandpa called me a genius .

As for what I did in these 3 years , I did

NOTHING

Yes nothing , why you ask ? Well because GOD didn't tell me that I would get my demon slaying techniques knowledge until I was 3 years old. So The only productive thing I did in these 3 years is to do some pushups and some stamina exercises to build up my stamina.

And today I got knowledge about how to start with the basics of swordsmanship and how to learn the first stage of total concentration breathing along with the first forms of Flame , water and thunder breathing. So I will have to master the first form before I get the second form of each breathing and by master I mean perform the technique fluently without any mistakes. I don't have to become a master to get the next form. But still I am planning to master every form because I WILL BE THE NEXT GOD OF SHINOBI DATTEBAYO!

Author Notes

In the first poll it was a 50-50 between using only English and both English and Japanese so I have decided I will be using both Japanese and English for jutsus and his sword moves.
