Author's note
Welcome to the rewrite of Shinsei.
Hey my name is...
Well that's not important right now.
What is important is what I was.
I am twenty one years old.
I am in computer programming.
I'm the second youngest of eight siblings.
I'm currently in an orphanage getting my diaper changed.
Before you say anything no that last part isn't some kind of sick fetish I just happen to be eleven months old right now. How is that possible you just said you were twenty one a couple moments ago? To that I would say yes I am, just mentally. In reality my body on Earth died in a horrible incident involving major food poisoning. Not in the bad food kind of sense, I mean someone literally poisoned my food as it turns out breaking into secret networks makes you a lot of enemies who knew?
I didn't realize I died at first mainly because I passed out from the pain shortly before it happened, Someone really wanted to make sure I learned my lesson that was the most painful week of my life, but to describe the transition of death to the horrible torture that is nine months in the womb it was like there was light but it was steadily fading. Then that light went out leaving nothing except darkness, but not just darkness no it was the advanced kind, then the darkness just became comforting, but you still couldn't feel anything. Then eventually you got bored and found out you had legs so you started kicking the shit out of the door. Eventually there was a light and it was bright and just went out of it willingly or not.
Yep that's right it was birth.
To describe birth I would say that it was the first time you would feel actually alive because all of a sudden your feelings and sight just came back at once and it was cold and everything was blurry and I couldn't control anything I did. So I cried like a baby, literally, until I was in the arms of a woman and it stopped me because I felt the same comfort from before and I instantly knew exactly who she was, my mom. Granted I still didn't know I was dead by then and so I just thought that I had woke from some coma or something, but still you just felt it. I was still confused but I was tired after all of that so I just went to sleep after that.
The first month went something like this. I woke up after a while but there was the problem that I still couldn't see anything at all so I was afraid that I had went blind. So I ended up crying again until that comfort came back and started saying things to me, that I would later learn to be Japanese, and I would calm down when I realized I was bothering mother. So I decided then while I still ad my thought processes that I would sit here and try to relearn my body again.
The second month is when I noticed something new. My body had some sort of energy in it. I know that every human has energy, but this felt so much more potent to describe it. Like I could take it and just do anything with it. By then I could sorta move my legs and arms so I tried ow should I say this I tried to push it out all at once. That went as well as you think, I went into a week long coma. After that little debacle I decided that I would only use a little of it at a time instead of all at once. I also figured out I can't understand a damn thing mother said to me and not because I was
The third month is finally when my eyes developed enough for me to see clearly instead of the blurs. The first thing I saw to my delight was my mother. She had white hair, dark skin, and jet black eyes. Now for me this was a surprise my mom had never showed interest in dying her hair I was also confused about how she all of a sudden looked incredibly young. Like she wasn't a day over twenty. The thing that shocked me most was that she was standing above me. I was a good 6'4 the last time I checked so I was wondering how she all of a sudden dwarfed me. So I looked down and I shit myself, literally, because all of a sudden I was significantly shorter than I ever was then I cried yet again. While mom took me out the room to get a diaper change I had stopped crying and started thinking instead about my situation and how all the shortness darkness and just everything made sense and all lead to me being a baby. I was upset that I died, but I ended up deciding that instead of crying over milk that I would just roll with it. I spent that month learning how to read and crawl.
The fourth month I had said my first word "Kaa-chan" which made mom so happy about it that I couldn't help but be happy about it too, and I decided that no matter what I would learn more about reading and writing so that I could make her even happier. The thing about being a baby is that you absorb languages like a sponge. So on the side I decided that I would also try to relearn my English and remember everything about my old life so I wouldn't forget it. I also go around to crawling then too.
The fifth month single words became multiple words and crawling became stumbling. My mother from my understanding of Japanese at that time kept calling me a prodigy and something about being the best ninja ever. I thought that she was pretty crazy, but then I said hey everybody is pretty crazy. I decided I was crazy that month because at that time I started thinking that mom was upside down cleaning the roof. I pretty much just stuck to trying to walk and actually talk in sentences for that entire month and hope that I would stop seeing mother walking on the roof.
By the six month I was still seeing mom walk on the roof so eventually I just decided to go ahead and ask mom while she was currently cleaning the roof. "Kaa-chan(Mother), how are you walking on the roof?" when she heard my voice she looked at me, smiled, and gave me my answer.
"This, my musuko(son), is possible do to what we call chakra, we just happen to be an unofficial members of a clan." This had got my attention immediately clan, and where have I heard that name before? My confusion was shown on my cute little baby face a the time so she continued from there. "Like ninja clans we are the Senju we have a lot of chakra and are generally good at everything and helped found Konoha your also technically the heir to the clan." Me a heir?" Senju's are friends with another clan called Uzuamki." this had brought up memories of a blonde kid, bright, cheery, fun, and also a childhood full of sadness. "Everyone has chakra, but only ninjas really use it that well."
"I wan knoe mo bout the Senjus, chakra, and Uzumikis." While the words were in my memory somewhere the words were still fresh on my tongue so like every new word I would have to practice it for a month before I would be able to say anything properly. This month is when I had remembered that I had learn these things from a world called Naruto which was an anime and manga series. This month was spent learning all about Senju's and chakra
The seventh month everything was in a good rhythm. I would constantly ask mom to read me a book or something so I could learn more words after all knowledge is power. I was particularly irritable that month. I was going to the process of teething and I actually grew closer to mom at that time as whenever I was in pain she would be there to comfort me. I also managed to start standing so that's a plus. Unfortunately I still don't have any control over my bladder or bowel movements yet.
But then everything changed on the eight month when the fire nation attacked. At least that's what I thought at the time then I remembered something a time period. October tenth Konoha Nine tailed fox attack destroys part of Konoha. I didn't really focus on that but more of the chakra filled to the brim with malice in the air. I couldn't do anything but stay silent for fear that even breathing will result in instant death. I had only bothered to speak when mom came crashing into the room with a giant roll on her back.
"Musuko we're going to have to leave here now." she told me picking me up in her arms.
"Kaa-chan whats happening?" I asked as she jumped out the window with me safely cradled in her arms.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to leave you at an orphanage." At the time this news shocked me I couldn't help but wonder why? I had grew close to my mother over those past eight months why did she have to leave me now?
"Kaa-chan don't leave I still need you." I ask hugging onto my mother in a futile attempt to make sure she never leaves.
"You and I both know that isn't true kid so cheer up besides you're a clan heir an unofficial one but a clan heir nonetheless." In the span of about twenty minutes we were at the orphanage and she sets me down. "Okay kid I have to help out because we're being attacked right now, I left everything you'll need or want to know in this scroll here remember." She puts down a scroll next to me."Remember to be the best ninja you can be and keep those close to you safe alright?" I nod and she kisses me on the forehead and hugs me for the last time and hands me a long black headband with a leaf on it. "Keep this with you as a reminder of me even if you don't become a ninja kaaa-chan will always love you, but I have to go now so don't cry be strong." With those final words she breaks the hug and leaves.
That was the last time I saw her.
The ninth month was spent doing nothing but crying, sleeping, and eating. I had half expected that if I cried enough I that she would somehow magically come back. I thought the caretakers would of simply abandoned me a that point but they just silently changed and fed me the entire time. Didn't help that I was till teething too.
The tenth month I had finally stopped crying and decided to remember moms last words carefully. It was then that I decided that even if I had the chance to just be a normal civilian I would do my best and try to be the best ninja I could be. So I stopped crying and started trying to learn again. I managed to get my first three steps in that month, but I really didn't feel as excited as I was when mom had still been alive because I had only done this to make sure that she was happy, now the reason is an honor of her memory.
Then we ended up here at the beginning of month eleven getting a diaper change after I totally crapped myself on purpose while I was walking and fell back on my ass.
Totally meant to do that.
Anyway that was my eleven month recap and I guess that my name is important now because I can't keep calling myself son now can I?
My name is Naegi Senju and soon enough i'm going to be a bad ass like mom was.
End note
That was the first chapter of my rewrite I really hope that this is an improvement compared to the last one.
Bunki means branching out referencing that there definitely will be Au changes to the story.
Naegi means Sapling.
