Chapter 1 : A life lived, or not
(This is my first story so don't go easy on me.)
You know what they say; death hurts. Well no, it doesn't. In fact, you don't feel much of anything at all. One moment a crazy driver hits you while you're walking home, the next you just find yourself floating somewhere for a while. Where I am? I don't know. All I can be sure of is that…ITS SO FUCKING BORING HERE, FOR THE LOVE OF IT ALL, LET SOME THING HAPPEN!
It's been like this for a while, nothing but this indescribable colourless void. The very fact that I'm able to experience this is amazing. I may go crazy, but I have no mind to snap. Nothing but a sense of consciousness. I think I can speak, I think I can move, but I just can bring myself to do so. But maybe if I had something to move for, then I could do so easily, but for now I can't. Another thing is that I don't know how long I've been here; it could be days, minutes, maybe years. I don't know what to do with this time, so I started thinking about my life before death.
I was born in a small town, into a rather well off family. My elder brother was around 14 years old and claimed to be an otaku. I was alone with him a lot so I know a lot of small facts on anime and manga. He was a good brother though he taught me to walk and talk since mother and father had to work full time, and I enjoyed spending time with him. When I was in middle school my parents became the head CEO's of the company they worked for. They let go of and hired new help and the company may a ton of profit from this move. On the other hand, this also made a lot of people angry; "kill someone" angry. On my way home from school, one of the elder workers rammed me with his car, shouted about payback and revenge, then I died.
Now here I am, in this void, alone and very bored. I wonder if I call out if someone will come for me, I may as well try to call someone to me, but if I do and nobody comes, what then?
A while later
"Fuck it, IS ANYONE HERE? HELLO!"I shouted out to the void. A dim light forms in the distance. I get up, not knowing that I was laying down, and I moved towards it, the light getting brighter and brighter as I approached it. A voice calls out in a langue I remembered but do not understand. When I got to the end, I heard a voice calling me closer along with some music. I turn to face a man who looks like his body is made out of light and mist. He smiled and looked me over. He took out a microphone, turned to a crowd that came from nowhere, and they all shouted
"Wheel of reincarnation!"
The man turns to me and says, "You, lucky contestant, have been chosen to be reborn in a random world! Just spin the wheel and go where it lands! But there's more! As today's 1000000 contestant, you will always come here when you die to play again, forever! Now spin. The. Wheel!"
A large part of we wanted to say no, that this was a horrible thing to do, but I could not speak. I'd lost control of my body and spun the wheel. It was a massive one, one I could not see the top or bottom of. As it slowed down, the crowd on in anticipation to see my fate. It closed no. N.N.W.2701. What this Ment, I don't know, but they seemed to love this. The host thing turned to me again and said:
"Good luck in the Naruto Neglect World 2701!" He then pushed me into a hole, as I tried to get up I saw a light. When I got closer, I felt myself start to shrink and get tired. I just got out when a wave of feelings washed over me, mostly sadness and pain. I tried to hold it in but I could not, and I started to cry. I could feel something wrap around me, something hold me and a voice I could not make out. It was like listening to someone while you're underwater while covering you ears. I was then handed to another one. This one held me very softly and said something.
In the later weeks, I figured a few things out after I could understand what they were saying. First, I was a baby again. Second, I seen to be animated. Third, my name was Ryu Namakazi. Fourth, I think I'm in the Naruto anime, judging from the head bands I saw, so I can believe that whatever this 'Wheel of reincarnation' thing is, really happened. And the last thing I learnt was my point in the time line, It seems to be a few years after the nine tails attack but it seemed that the fourth survived and had twin children from what I could pick up from the nurses discussions. I'm still in the hospital, it seems that 'mother' was pulled away by something before she could take me home, I wonder how long in going to be here for.
A week later
It was late one day when I was about 4 weeks of age that I felt someone pick me up in my sleep and take me somewhere. I tried to get a good look at him but the first bit of sunlight ever to touch my eyes left my vision blurred out. All I could make out was a white beard, a robe and that he was angry about something. We arrive at a large house and he opens the door. Inside four other figures are at a table. I let them talk while my eyes adjust to the light. They are really mad about something. When I can see again my breath catches me as I see who it is; the fourth hokage, his wife and two children that seem to be confused on something. I'm handed to Kushina by who I now see was the third hokage, who looks pissed.
"Take care of him, he is your son!" he said, this time I could listen.
"We didn't forget, we just had to focus on these two now. "Minato stated in an attempt to defend himself. As the Third left, I was still in Kushinas arms, who I guess is mother while two kids, a boy and girl each looking around 6 came to look at me. Minato got a look in his eye and smiled.
"That's right, you two have a little brother now, you will have to be strong to protect him in the future." he said with a grin slowly plastering his and Kushinas faces, while the kids look me over.
7 Years later
For the sake of those who feel like this is getting repetitive, I will skip a bit ahead; I was the one neglected by these two as the story goes. Not that I care about that, they will never be my family. I learned the name of my siblings; Naruto and Mito. They were little bundles of energy and would always try to play with me after training, but never could since they were told I was asleep(I never was). Over the years they forgot all about me. Even though I lived with them to this day. I'm still not sure what my birthday is. Again, this did not bother me. As I see it, our relationship is that of a landlord and tenant.
I adopted the hobby of just wandering around the village from place to place. I don't talk to anyone that much, hell I've not yet spoken a word to anyone even though I can speak this language perfectly. As I was wandering around I found that I was being followed by a strange kid. First thing was that they had soft greenish hair that went to their shoulders, were just a little shorter than me and had a rather cute face that told me nothing of their gender. A trap in an anime world doesn't surprise me. I moved my hand in a way to tell them to speak; I was wondering why they were following me.
This kid on the other hand didn't say anything, but just hugged me out of the blue, surprising as this is they started crying. I led them, as they refused to let go of me, to an apartment I started renting after I left that house, and let them use my shower while I made them something to eat.
Meanwhile at the Namakazi house
Mito
Mito woke up from a nightmare, she was fighting in a war where she would die, come back and die again, this would repeat over and over, despite what her mother and farther told her she never had good confidence in her fighting abilities, the only reason she continues is a foggy memory of a promises to protect someone.
Naruto
Naruto was living a dream life, he could train as long as he wanted had all the ramen he could eat and was the child of two of the best in the village, but despite this he always felt like something was missing from his life, as if he forgot something of importance.
Minato and Kushina
They are readying the 13th birthday of their wonderful twin children, this should be a happy time but they have an ending feeling that they mess up something but they just don't know what, they didn't want to worry about this as they felt they should ready the last birthday party before their children become ninjas.
