I finished my own Original Story, it is entirely free and on Wattpad. Check it out, Destiny Rebellions- A Queen's Champion... if you love A Mortal's Might you'll love it. It was inspired heavily by that story and this one. Please check it out and tell me if you love it. I will be publishing it one day, so check it out before I pull it off of Wattpad.

This story has the potential to be one of my all time biggest, as big as Chameleon and New Edge... or Mortal's Might Even!

" This is the library, you are allowed to access anything marked by a yellow tag. Anything else is too advanced for you. I would advise increasing your base knowledge in tai and ninjutsu and making your Kanji perfect before you start anything else... same with anatomy, botany and chakra control. Having an understanding of the basics is key to being powerful." Sora's voice was stiff, cold and bored but Shin did not find he minded.

Almost drooling, Shin grabbed several books from the shelves. On Chakra control, on Conditioning, Sealing, Ninjutsu, a scroll on taijutsu and a dictionary so he could understand the complex words. He knew, somehow, that he had a pretty limited vocabulary. "I am so excited, I can't explain it but I just... I know that I love learning. I don't if I loved books before, but I know I loved to learn!"

Sora, finally, smiled. "I hope your right, Your a bubbly kind of guy, it's kind of refreshing everyone here is so.., boring."

Shin froze as memories unbidden of a rather unhappy life crossed his heart. "Why do they look at you like that?" Sora froze this time. "I saw the other monks, they looked at you horribly, with coldness and wrath. I... I don't remember why, but I got looks like that before. I can remember them so well... so clearly, when all else is a fog. The pain, the fear, the hate... like I was a monster but I wasn't. I can't feel the pain anymore, but I know it caused me pain. The more I think of it, the more I am happy to be rid of that life, that entire existence. I think I will like being Shin..."

Sora's voice was mouselike, small and pained. "I don't know why they look at me like that... with so much hate. It just started one day, after a terrible accident destroyed part of the temple. I... I was so young, around five... but from then on, they hated me. Not Chiriku, but everyone else..."

The words echoed in Shin's heart and memories flooded his mind, as if the words were a key unlocking an entire damn. It was seamless though and he knew everything... and yet, the memories did not matter. They had no strength, they were faded and fuzzy, like another life time... he may have only been Shin for a day but he still felt as if Shin was the right name for him...

He felt no love for Naruto, how could he, his life had been hell... hated by the village, neglected by everyone, abused by Sakura, betrayed and nearly killed by Sasuke, mistreated by Kakashi and Jiraiya who should have been his teachers. Only Tsunade and barely her ever treated him with any love or decency... and it was for and with this in mind that he fully and entirely committed to his new life.

He was no longer Naruto, he was Shin... and that was that.

"I was hated in my home village, blamed for something I cannot tell you about..." He walked over to Sora and pulled him into a warm hug. "We can bond, share that pain... since both of us have felt it."

To his pleasure, Sora wrapped his arms around him too. "Okay..." He pulled away then, smiling through teary eyes. "You remember a lot it seems?"

"I remember everything, your words sort of... woke the memories up, but they are distant, faded... I am Shin now. I choose my new life, no matter how brief. It's already better than my entire life as Naruto."

"Sometimes I wish I could do that, to be free of this life and just gain a new self..."

"Then remake yourself, be more than they treat you as..." Shin smiled. "We better finish my tour before they think you kidnapped me."

They shared a laugh at that, Sora leading Shin away to his room where he would store his books. Like Sora he was going to remake himself, the books were a good start. Naruto hated reading, so Shin would love it. Naruto was lazy and weak, Shin would be proactive and strong... he would be more than he old self... he would rise above... and not a single soul would stop him!

A week of studying passed quickly for Shin as he got used to life as a Ninja Monk in training. The days started with meditation for an hour, then they would break their fast with a huge meal. From then they would work out then do taijutsu training ( which focused on doing blunt force damage with lots of leg motions like Gai's strong fist). From then they would clean the temple, whichever part was his assignment, then he would work on chakra control training which could be more taijutsu training on the water or holding leaves to various parts of the body or balancing Kunai upside down on the tips of the fingers. Lastly they would work on seal training, which mainly included studying scrolls, debating about what they read, and practicing calligraphy.

To Shin's shock, he excelled at it all. Nothing was impossibly hard, even with being an idiot as Naruto... which made him realize that Naruto had likely been as smart as he seemed to be. Naruto had been too lazy to capitalize on their intelligence, he remembered being Naruto and never reading, going to the library, or even trying to do anything but physical training and even then he always looked for shortcuts. Shin wasn't like that, he loved reading, he adored learning, he relished in the effort of everything...

Then there was Sora, who proved to be a great teacher and friend. They bonded of their mistreatment by the world and over what turned out to be a shared capacity for Wind Jutsu, something Shin discovered when he was tested for it. Sora taught him, starting the second week, how to split leaves with sheer chakra. Shin was able to manage the technique in three days due to Sora's incredible tutelage and patience. They worked together well.

Personally, Shin managed to retry all of Naruto's jutsu, only managing the sexy jutsu. He quickly discovered he lacked the raw chakra needed for the Rasengan beyond the first stage or the Shadow clones period. He also discovered no trace of the Fox's chakra within himself, which was extremely confusing. He should have physically been the same... which lead him to try and remember what happened at Orochimaru's base, only to have no clear-cut memory of that day. It was the only part of his memories that were entirely gone...

The books he was reading on anatomy made it clear that this made no freaking sense, it was not how amnesia worked so... yeah. He was half tempted to Tsunade directly, but he was having too much fun as Shin... no fun was the wrong word. He just loved being this new person, having choices and happiness and love. He hated being Naruto so often that even the worst parts of Shin, like fuzzy memories and a skeletal body, were like Kami given gifts when compared to Naruto's life at it's best.

No... he would not give this up for anything.

Shin was here to stay, now and forever... screw Itachi and Kisame, Screw Jiraiya and Tsunade, Screw Sasuke and Sakura... he was happy and damn it he would never let that change.

Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a blast, I am adoring this story deeply.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
