Prologue
It could have been anything, a dream, some weird coma or even some type of virtual reality. Or it could be the impossible and actually be real and if that was the case then how was it possible. Was it some type of intervention by creatures from a different dimension or by the so called gods, some freak accident of the universe? It didn't matter to him anymore just the fact that he was actually there in all places. Not only that but he was once again six years old instead of the twenty-six he once was. Skye McDowell was confused, shocked and curious about everything that just happened to him; however he understood this was one time where he might never get an answer. The golden brown haired, forest green eyed boy could only do one thing right now, that's live his life to the best he could and with the advantage of his previous life's knowledge he will take the world by storm.
Chapter One
Skye was reading through the books he got from the library. It was lucky he was fluent in Japanese and that the library staff were so helpful, there was also the fact this was a ninja village so young children wanting to learn about chakra wasn't that uncommon. Although he was probably a bit younger than what they were used to but this is the place where Kakashi Hatake graduated the ninja academy at five years old.
Picking up the books from the table he had been sitting at he went to check them out. This wasn't the first time he had come to the library, so the librarians knew him enough that he didn't need an adult there to check them out for him. Heading to the orphanage he lived in he sat on his bed and started reading again. This was the first time he had checked books with knowledge on chakra out so he was fascinated. His past visits to the library where books on history and general knowledge, if he was going to be living in this world from now on he needed a better grasp on its history then what the manga covered. Also the fan fiction he used to read (everybody needs some type of hobby) wasn't going to help except for certain ideas he could probably work with.
A few weeks later Skye felt he was confident enough to finally unlock his chakra. He studied as much as he could on the subject he could find but there was only so far a person could go without taking the next step. There was a clearing in the forest a short distance from the orphanage; it was a perfect place to practice.
Two months passed and every day Skye went to the clearing to train while at the orphanage he studied. He knew that he was making himself seem antisocial but he had the knowledge of what was coming, he needed to be ready for it. Unfortunately all the stuff were basic things you could learn in the Academy, if you wanted to learn more you had to go to the Konoha Archive Library which only ninja's or special cases can enter. Still with the information he could find and the knowledge he had from reading the manga his training was good for now.
Chakra control, increasing his chakra reserves and physical training were what he focused on in the clearing. His physical training was simple workouts and training his taekwondo which he took up in his old life to stay in shape. While he knew all the training, the forms and the techniques his body needed to get used to them again. Increasing his chakra reserves and control over his chakra were basically the same. He started with the Leaf Concentration Practice that he read about where you stick a leaf to your forehead and keep it there with chakra. Skye took this one step further, he didn't just place a leaf on his head put also on his chest, stomach knees, the top of his feet, his elbows, palms and the back of his hands and neck. Once he had that down and able to run and train without losing control he used rocks instead of leaves. It took him the whole two months just to be able to do that.
When he was at the orphanage he studied the history of the elemental countries and medical textbooks. In his old life he used to be a geneticist, working along the lines of things like regeneration from lizards and zebra fish along with the Lethal Toxin Neutralizing Factor found in Opossums. His research was based around giving these traits to humans, with multiple successes in his career.
A year had passed since Skye had arrived in Konoha. His time was divided between the orphanage, training and studying. He kept a notebook he managed to get with everything he could remember from his old research and any new ideas or theories he had, he was going to need a new one soon with the amount of stuff in it. The only thing noticeable that happened was the news that Skye could join the Ninja Academy in a couple of weeks.
Skye had the feeling that things were going to get interesting from this point forwards.
