When a person is dying he tends to wander into his past, regrets and unfulfilled wishes come to his mind as his last moments extend into an eternity that ends before anyone notices.
This was the case for one teenager of few friends, just as he was playing a video game on his cellphone a plane crashed on his house, unlike his lucky family he didn't die instantly, instead, he had an agonizing death where he saw his life flash before his eyes.
His dreams were somewhat low, to have a happy family and live an honest life.
Such things would be impossible for him now that he was crushed under debris, "nobody would marry a dead person".
Such were his final thoughts.
But call it destiny, karma or God someone or something answered him.
A being from outside time and space went to his aid.
The place was the Fire Country, inside the state of the Kouga Clan.
The time is just a week after the attack made by the Kyubi.
The Kouga Clan is one of the clans that are now part of the Hidden Leaf Village, lacking any true speciality they are considered one of the Lower Clans, somewhat different from the Higher Clans like the Yamanaka and even more so of the Noble Clans like the Hyuga or Senju.
The Koga had no notable Shinobi to their history and they only survived the warring clans period by being cunningly deceitful, betraying for a better position without care for any kind of alliance, be it a signed seal, a long friendship or even marriage.
That was until one Hashirama Senju was able to unite the Warring Clans from the Fire Country into a single coalition, since then nobody has been betrayed by the Kouga.
It was during this day that one baby was born, his name was Shinato and he had a particularity.
This world was all too familiar to him.
The boy grew and learned fast, picking up the basics of Chakra at the first training session. He was labelled a genius by his clan, perhaps one that could lift the clan from Lower to Higher. Even still there was an even greater prodigy that generation.
A girl the same age that followed Shinato anywhere, it was no secret that she was in fact a greater asset to the clan than any other, a Kunoichi marked from Birth by a strange Dojutsu, a snake eye that was normally hidden under her right eye.
Not only that but her Chakra and blood was cursed, blood that burns like the strongest acid and a Chakra so evil it may as well be a Genjutsu for any sensor.
Such were her inborn characteristics, she followed Shinato everywhere and was a fast learner, having no qualms in using her blood as a weapon and being an even greater genius.
She was named Chiyome, nobody knew why but that name fitted her.
Both kids, now eight years old, were talking alone in reserved training grounds.
Only a river and grass that extended until the next training area, designated by a fence.
"You could advance further into Konoha's ranks Paraiso, you know I can survive by myself"
Such were the words of Shinato, the soon to be academy student had more than just high hopes for his female friend.
"I already told you, I am here for you"
A strange feeling washed Shinato, for one side he was happy to be important for her, onto another he really wanted her to be happy.
"You can't hide your skills forever, one day someone is going to discover the fact that you are way far away from everyone else, not only in our class but also in the whole leaf"
With a blush, Chiyome answered in a straight voice, almost expressionless.
"I am sure that the Hokage surpasses me, at least in his prime he was better than me at everything and I never stood a chance against him in a fight, nor will I ever"
Shinato only sighed, his abilities were nothing in comparison to Chiyome, he wasn't the best in his generation, such a title would probably go to Sasuke Uchiha the all-rounded genius of the Uchiha Clan.
"You still beat him at stealth and deception, at least now"
Chiyome sighed and took some kunais from the pouch she left on the floor and threw them to Shinato.
"Take them, you still need to practice this if you want to beat Sasuke"
Instead of taking them as Chiyome intended, Shinato rolled away from the kunais and took a battle position.
"You know that before doing something like that it would be better if you could actually throw a Kunai? It doesn't matter how good your Nature Transformation is if you lack the Chakra to use the Ninjutsus"
Sighing and raising his hands in defeat, Shinato says.
"You win Paraiso, you win"
It was a horribly boring training, Shinato threw all of his Kunai, was able to hit the dummy one time per 23 Kunai and then he rushed to get each and every Kunai from the ground.
Once the sun started to set, Shinato said to his companion.
"A week after we came from the Kouga farms, have you encountered Naruto Uzumaki?"
Chiyome instantly knew the situation was turning serious, she wasn't just a future Kunoichi, she was—
"Assassin Paraiso reports, Uzumaki Naruto has been found, the food and instructions have been delivered, his state is precarious but he seems well spirited and healthy"
Shinato said in his kindest voice.
"Well done Paraiso, that idea of using shadow clones to search for Naruto around the Leaf was splendid, you deserve a reward"
Chiyome still kept herself steeled and said.
"But my Lord"
Shinato did not wait to talk to her.
"You were sent towards me once I died, you insist you were sent to serve me and I will treat my loyal friends as I see fit, and I see fit a dinner made by my hand"
Chiyome accepted with a nod of her head, but even then a thought remained in her head, "He's going to cook a week worth of ingredients for this one dinner… ".
