Prolouge 1: Entertainment
I stared fondly at the door labled ÒUzumaki NarutoÓ. S/He was one of my favorite lives to watch, simply because there were so many possibilites for s/him. Most people were one sided and if a major change happened, it only happened at one time in their lives. But for Naruto, there were so many different times and possibilites for s/himt o reach h/er/is potential. Birth, childhood, genin years, the training trip s/he took. Heck, even events before s/he was born, and the specific deminsions s/he was born in and interacted in. All were ideal places for s/him to change. It was tantilzing.
I decided to take a look in s/his room. I had seen so many variations of h/er/is life, and all were enjoyable. But some were truly unique. One of my favorites was when Naruto was on Team Cell Seven and Kakashi had died on the mission to Wave. That not only seriously upgraded Naruto, but changed the destinies of h/is/er team too. And the ones were s/he was raised from birth, or his early years, by Morino Ibiki or Miratashi Anko. He had managed to have quite a sadistic side. The lives were Naruto was girl was cool too.
I strolled luxuriosly through my archives, stopping to gaze at my favorites. Then I paused. I was near the back. These were where most my favorites were. The ones that were less plausible, yet oh so more likeable and fascinating. These were the ones that didnÕt have so many variations. Maybe one, possibly 3. No more than perhaps five.
But this one... I had never looked at this one before. I had always been enticed by the ones that were from the very begining, started with a bang. I glanced over what this version had to offer. My eyes widened. No this one didnÕt start with a bang. It was much more subtle and powerful than a simple bang. It was like a large rock thrown in the middle of large lake. The catalyst (the rock), the change (the intial splash caused by the rock) and the subsiquent changes caused by the earlier two(the ripples). But unlike in a lake, were the ripples got weaker, these changes only got greater. They went past NarutoÕs life and changed the lives of EVERYBODY, even people who would never meet him. I whistled. Pretty impressive, even considering that it started a seven months before his birth, hell, more than that. But a seven months before his birth was were I would begin. I grinned. Looked like I had an intresting life to watch...
