Edit: Hello everyone this is the author from the slight future to comment that this story will be about Megumi's struggles with something like insanity after awakening her sharingan. There will be descriptions of gruesome scenes down the line so expect that. Additionally she will not be too involved with the main story, instead this is following her struggle to stay a good person. I apologize ahead of time if anything offends any readers, I tend to just go with things without thinking it over.
You know how when people die they usually have some kind of interesting death? Like for example they get hit by a car or they died from a severe illness. Well let's be honest, I deserve a do over.
One moment I'm lying on my bed eating some chips while watching Investigation Discovery, and then the next I'm coughing because that one chip decided to be a bastard and go down the wrong tube. Coughs after coughs nothing was helping, the pain getting sharper and sharper. Was that chip secretly a razor or something?
After a small amount of time that felt way too long, the cough attack stopped. The sharp pains gone but I didn't feel right so I figured the little evil chip was gone and out of my life, not literally at the time though. I went to 'open' my eyes, I was shocked least to say.
I was expecting to be on my bed with the evil chip on my lap or wherever it landed and a bad case of watery eyes but instead nothing. Empty darkness that did contain a slight shade of dark red. Of course I panicked and tried to get away from wherever I was but that could not be done. My movements felt sluggish and delayed as if I had been drugged and severely drained.
A resounding question ran through me as I tried to fight my way out, "Why?"
I could tell i was in some type of water or something of the sort, the slow pressured movement I recognized since I was not a fan of swimming. As quick as the bizarreness of it came it was gone, the water draining causing me to slump down in weakness. A loud muffled voice came to my attention; a woman I think. I did not understand her but she sounded panicked. Heck lady let me join you, I need help!
I tried to call out but no sound came, just anything I tried to do felt useless. I felt myself start to get more panicked at the thought of my only escape leaving. With the most effort I've ever used in my life to date, I managed to get my foot to kick at a wall that was surprisingly very close in proximation. I felt a pressure or something like that touch back and I recoiled slowly in shock, god damn this sluggish body. A few more voices came to my attention but they sounded very quiet and in a way diluted? Is that a good way to describe it?
Suddenly the woman started to panic, loud screams entering my sensitive ears. I winced at each painful sound and tried to imagine what my kidnappers are doing to her.
Then I felt it.
The walls started to move around me, my sluggish movement from before felt worse and almost nonexistent. I could not breathe I realized and to add to this I felt myself being pulled downward. I felt strong fear as a unbelievably strong pain started at the top of my head. I was being squeezed out of something, ice cold air hitting my unprotected head and causing me to shiver. After what also felt like way too long, I plopped out of my temporary prison and felt myself being touched by things that were very large.
Was I going to be probed or something? My nose and mouth were forced open but I couldn't breathe, was I dying?
Another sharp pain shot through my body, except this time it was from my bum. In shock I gasped, the gasp then turned into a weak cry before becoming way too loud for me. I tried to stop, I really did but I couldn't it just kept coming and coming. I was rubbed dry before I was encased in warmth, something squishy being placed at my face which again I couldn't control my urge to suck away at.
As I continued to drink some type of liquid I felt myself become sleepy. I tried to fight it, raising my voice in protest but instead a weird gurgle type of thing came out. This stopped all my fighting and I paused in shock.
What the hell was that?
The squishy liquid supply was pulled away from me and I heard soft hums of words from above me, a woman, perhaps the same one as before? I tried my best to open my eyes, why was this so hard its like one of the easiest things to do. BAM just like that I got them to open and when I did my god I couldn't see anything. Just extremely blurry shapes of color when suddenly a huge face came super close.
My anxiety jumped, who was this? Why are they so big? Wait is that woman..? Why is she smiling at me this is kinda creepy...
I felt something rub at my face, as the woman came very very close and then planted a kiss?
Uh what.
She backed up a bit and said something but my ears couldn't make it out, was my hearing shot too? Another face came in this one a male I was sure and repeated a similar gesture. You know this kinda reminds me of.. Oh no.. Please don't tell me I was reborn..
It was here that I realized my situation and I busted out crying.
The two individuals tried to comfort me but to hell with them I shouldn't be here! I was soon pulled away from them, and placed into some type of den, a crib perhaps? I cried and cried, slowly feeling the tempting hands of sleep crawl up to me.
Where was my retry button?
Anyone?
Some time has passed and I accepted my situation. I was no longer Sarah of Michigan, instead I was Megumi of some place. I tried to behave for my new parents, crying out only when I really did need something like food or cause I didn't want to sit in my shit. I felt my affections grow for them, feeling warmth in my heart every time I saw them or felt their body warmth on my tiny one.
I also figured out that I was not in the United States anymore when I was able to recognize some of the words spoken by them. Well not that I could recognize it but the style of speech reminded me of Japanese. I should've taken it in college instead I took Italian. Well Fuck. If only I got my friend Stevie to teach me then maybe I could understand the basics but the past is the past.
Time passed fairly fast since I would usually be eating or sleeping, my senses becoming a little better and the control of my body feeling more natural. Soon I was able to kinda do things on my own. I could sit and play with objects, some which suspiciously looked like kunai but ill drop that and say my parents were Naruto fans, and use my annoyingly high pitched voice to say weird noises. I would keep trying to say ka-san or tou-san since I knew those meant mom and dad but instead it would come out like ta-sa tu-sa with a little ugly noise following it.
Ugh babies are so gross. A small positive would be when my parents would read me stories, pointing to the pictures and saying words as if to ingrain it into me that this was this and that was that. Of course majority of it wouldn't stick the first few times but oh well i'll learn eventually.
Some time later I was able to crawl, FREEDOM~! Kind of, I was hawk eyed but man I did not care, I was able to scoot my self all around without someones assistance and it felt so damn nice. Just gotta make those baby steps, pun intended, before I am back to myself. It was around this age, oh I don't know a few months maybe? That I realized I had something wrong with me. I never really paid attention to the feeling before since I was just so out of it but now that I could stay awake decently long and do my own things I found it bizarre. A small amount of warmth I could feel inside me, kinda like if you have a fever and your body just feels weird and warm inside. I didn't find out it was chakra until way later but I did know of it so maybe i'm one of those badass sensors, I hope...
Training my vocal chords I was finally able to say Ka-san and Tou-san in their presence and boy they were the happiest couple I had ever seen, picking me up and cheering in their adorable ways. From there on they kept trying to get me to say words correctly and that was hella difficult, the words sticking to memory once I was able to get them down. Additionally by this point I was aloud to try eating the lovely solid foods by myself, and just a side-comment getting a face full of boob everyday for a few months was horrible. Glad those days are long gone, next step was to stop pooping myself but I figured that was way down the line.
Next step was to use my fat legs to walk around, these legs were so stiff and clunky but I managed to get it kinda down. As months passed I continued to have a hard time walking, sure I could stand up if I held onto something but I could barely get a few steps before my legs would collapse and my bum would get a painful smack from the floor, or my foot if my leg bent. My parents grew worried over this and took me to the doctors and judging by their upset faces once the results were given it was something bad. I'll just assume that my leg muscles were underdeveloped or some shit and that was the end of it.
My parents continued to baby me to my growing annoyment and would overreact whenever I was able to do one new thing. Sure it was nice at first but as they keep doing it, its kinda like okay I did nothing special calm down. Oh but when I was shown the magical toilet that I could use I never felt such joy, no more shitting myself! I would try multiple times a day to poop or pee and since I knew what I was doing I picked up on it very quickly. I think my parents might think i'm a smart little one, hoho i'll let them think that.
Everyday I would be taught new words and concepts, occasionally they would mention ninja related things but I brushed it off that they were still big Naruto fans. Oh how I was wrong. One day tou-san came home in a weird uniform that I recognized as the Jounin vest with a headband that had the Konoha symbol.
I stared at his outfit kinda speechless, they were cosplayers too? Tou-san came over and picked me up, giving me a little bounce, "My little Megumi-chan, how are you dear?" "Good tou-san, whats that?" I responded pointing to the headband in question. He grinned proudly and said what I didn't want to hear. "This is a Konoha hiate, Megumi-chan. Tou-san is a shinobi just like Ka-san." Oh how I felt fear in my tiny body, I was in Naruto more than likely to a family that I thought was just coincidence.
That's right, I am Megumi Uchiha. The daughter of Akemi and Daiki Uchiha who were not mentioned in the series meaning I am a background character that will die like nothing.
Fuck my life.
Old comment: Quite a big change but I feel more comfortable taking this route since I just can't get Itachi's personality down correctly, they will be introduced in the next chapter. Also gonna rip off Syndra from league for a concept I had in mind. Also if I spelled any of the words incorrectly please let me know, I just typed out a whole buncha stuff so i'm a bit rusty.
