If there's one thing the characters of Naruto lack, it was common sense. Don't get me wrong, I am, was a huge fan of the anime and manga, specially how Kishimoto managed to create such interesting characters and their back stories. But there is just a huge lack of sensibility for everyone. I know, world of ninjas, master of stealth. Especially on that lame ending and the new Boruto sequel. Anyway back to the topic, ninjas are master of stealth.
Master of stealth.
Stealth means not being caught by an enemy.
Oxford dictionary defines it as the attribute or characteristic of acting in secrecy, or in such a way that the actions are unnoticed or difficult to detect by others. Instead the Naruto world works with earth shattering jutsus and flashy ninjas who wears orange jumpsuits and gravity defying hairs. Not at all what you'd imagine ninjas would be. But that's what made Naruto great, they managed to misdirect the publics opinion of what was common and brought a new height to the world.
Naruto is great, it is one of the best anime to date. Naruto was one great anime.
Naruto is not great world to live in though. Never in my life would I have wished to be reborn in the world of fictional flashy ninjas. Maybe when I was young and had a total crush on Itachi, and Neji and Sasuke and Minato and, okay, every hot guy in the anime no wait every hot male anime characters in all animes. But as I age choosing to live in a normal world is the norm.
When I realized that I was reborn in the world of Naruto, I was ecstatic. Wow, I'm gonna be a ninja, yey! But then I realized for that split second I will probably die early. Again. And at that time I may not be lucky enough to be reborn.
Konoha was the worst place to live in, what's even worse is being an Uchiha.
Yup, the Lord hated me so much he placed me in a world with child killers and worst my new life will be short lived because I'll probably die by the age of 16 or 5 if Itachi didn't love me as much as Sasuke. Because right in front of me is, one Uchiha Mikoto carrying me with great care and on the arms of Uchiha Fugaku, another baby wrapped in a blue blanket. Somehow I had an inkling feeling that that baby is Uchiha Sasuke, as one Uchiha Itachi is peering into us as I monologue.
Sasuke is annoying.
Never liked his character in the canon, and I definitely don't appreciate him now.
He is fucking annoying. My ears will probably blow after a month of his excessant wailing.
If I wasn't a baby myself I'd probably place a pillow in his face and watch him writhe for air. Good for him that he is cute and a baby and all that I haven't don't much to him except try to shout at him every now and then to keep him from crying. As much as a baby can shout.
Itachi probably took it as a twin baby communication thing because the smile he gave us was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life including the life before this.
But worst of all Sasuke keeps on taking Itachi to himself. I hate him. Itachi doesn't spend much time with me as he does with Sasuke. I really hate it. After one month I've stimulated myself enough that I hated not being with itachi so much I've took upon myself to learn how to move my muscle(thank god for ninja medics for the past pain relief). Or whine every time I see him. Mikoto laughs every time I see itachi and I try to reach out for him and kiss him. Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Itachi fan even before the big revelation of the truth before the Uchiha Massacre I have been nothing but a faithful Itachi fan.
Sasuke didn't like me sharing Itachi with him so we often fight or wail as loudly as we can and see who lasts and gets Itachi to console them. I always win. Huh. Take that Bro-con. Itachi is mine, twin bro. Mine.
On my second month into this world I uttered my first word. O-Nii.
Nope. Not kaa or tou. Onii-chan.
Dude. I may die in five years from now if Itachi didn't dim me salvageable. He did end up killing his parents even if it was ordered. I needed to make Itachi love me. So much, so much that he is willing to slaughter his people for our sake.
My second word was kaa then tou then Sa for Sasuke. I kept repeating it over and over and over I crossed the baby accent by my second week of my speaking debut.
After two months I learned to appreciate my twin bro. I was lucky because I have my previous memories and I know exactly what will happen to us in case the massacre occurs. But Sasuke doesn't know that, he won't have a family except for me and Itachi whom he'll be too busy hating so much. It was my duty to protect him and show him the right path.
Sasuke is my twin, and I'll be damned if I let this little cutie grow up into an emo.
By my third month, I was learning how to speak full sentences. Learning a new language with another language as your basis is hard. I knew English and basic Japanese. So making a basis on things like how to say it hurts without blurting the actual English words, it was hard. So fucking hard. English wasn't my first language, Filipino was and still a third language in my 23rd year old mind was hard and having the consciousness of a baby didn't help.
Sometimes I spoke to Sasuke in English but I try to not make any sense to it. I know for a fact that Itachi is a super genius, so was any other Uchiha out there. My own father was even in the nomination of Hokage same as Minato and Minato is also considered a whole new level of genius. And so was Sasuke, we needed to take care of each other so I took it upon myself to teach him every word I hear. It was like that for us. Whenever we hear a new word, I would repeat it over and over and over and then Sasuke would too. By the end of the week Fugaku couldn't help it that he started wearing ear plugs to muffle our voices.
I learned how to crawl by my fifth month.
On my sixth month I was in an accident. I tried to climb the wall that was my crib and I fell. Itachi rushed me to the hospital with Sa-chan on his back. Kaa-chan was out shopping for lunch and Tou-chan was at work.
It was the first time I felt chakra consciously. It was also the first time I managed to feel the chakra within me. It was also the day I realized that my work has come into fruition. Itachi loves us as if we are his world. Itachi will try to save Sasuke and I. No matter what, even if the massacre happens, Sasuke and I will live. That is without a doubt.
After that incident I tried contacting my chakra. It wasn't hard or difficult, after all chakra was my life force and as I have known Uchiha's doesn't have a big chakra pool. I realized I had two ways to create a bigger chakra pool. First, was to use my chakra everyday from this day forward. That way I can earn a bigger pool that the standard Uchiha one. Second, was to recreate Tsunade's technique. Which I didn't know of. I don't know if it needs fuinjutsu or just gathering of idle chakras at my forehead and just living it there. I don't know. Sorry Naruto fans I fail fictional chakra techniques.
So I chose the later, concentrating my chakra at my forehead everyday will give me control and probably my practice will exhaust me making my chakra pool bigger. It was a bargain of sorts.
And failing at age 1 isn't that big of a deal.
At the very least, I had a plan.
