All I wanted to do was escape reality and all my responsibilities. I just wanted to be free, free of everything and everyone's expectations, but dying wasn't the solution I had in mind.

Waking up again in a world with superpowers and ninjas wasn't on my to do list for today as well

I guess moral of the story, keep your wishes in your head

My name is Hiroshi. No last name and I'm 6 years old

6 years of reliving your life as a baby to a kid wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, when I thought about it in my head it seemed as if it was an Insurmountable task but in all honesty it was pretty easy.

Growing up in the orphanage was pretty easy, keep your head down and don't go socializing with everyone. Acting like a kid was a lot harder than I thought it wouldn't be, so my solution, don't talk and avoid everyone as much as possible.

Truly I got what I wished for, being able to wander off, whenever and wherever I wanted to go. No one on my ass about something they think I should be doing, no one's expectations on my shoulders.

Brushing off the thorns on my shirt while walking back to the orphanage I couldn't help but let my mind wander off into thought again. Being able to walk around in a forest at 4 in the morning was something off a blessing and impossible in my old world

I guess living in a world with superpowers really messes with people's sense of normal, though I can't really judge being able to walk upside down and jump from tree to tree wasn't really normal for a 6 year old either. Reaching the orphanage on autopilot, I look around to see if anyone is watching, the whole street is deserted so I Jump the fence and then jump again into the second story window that was open. landing silently I make my way into my bed, knowing full well that I'll only be able to sleep for 3 hours if I want to eat breakfast.

Knock knock

Getting up at the sound of one of the matrons knocking in my door, I couldn't help but be grateful that I got my own room, while most of the other orphans had to bunk in groups of 8 into one room. Going through my morning routine I couldn't help but let out a loud yawn sleeping at 4 wasn't really a good habit but I really couldn't care less, the only time you couldn't truly have to yourself was when everyone else was sleeping, if you could ignore the shadows that zoomed on top of the roofs. But what would they care if a kid was out at night, they were on missions and I don't think the hokage would accept any excuses like, I saw a kid at night.

Going back into reality I couldn't help but sigh.. Getting lost in thought was something I couldn't really control to well. Making my way downstairs i hear the background chatter of kids talking and matrons yelling for order. Making my way to the back of the line for breakfast, I grab a tray and utensils. Looking around the kids in front of me, I check to see if the breakfast changed, sadly looking at food hard enough wouldn't really change the fact we just ate a bunch of prepackaged food. And now I was sounding ungrateful.

Sitting at a table in the back of the cafeteria, I couldn't help but start observing everyone around me. Truly no one was really super interested after Naruto got his own apartment a couple months ago. I couldn't believe I could be jealous of him, the kid that was universally hated by the whole village and I was jealous because he was kicked out of the orphanage and got his own apartment. He was living my dream, isolated with no one to bother him in his own little apartment, but I guess he sees it a little differently. Now that I think about it that is not a sane way to look at his problems, and once again I started daydreaming. Finishing the last of the food I slide the trash into the garbage and put my tray up onto the top of the bin with all the other trays.

Grabbing my bag from my room, I start making my way to the ninja academy. I guess i haven't really told anyone my dream yet. My dream is to get so strong that I can do whatever I want, be it leave the village and start my own farm or become the hokage. As long as I got to chose what I did, I would be fine with it. Although I don't think I'll become that strong, maybe I'll just become a chunin and go rogue. Infiltrate into some backwater village and sell cabbages for a living.

Sitting into my seat I can't help but think living a peaceful life isn't possible because, of course I would get a certain blond hair ninja sitting right next to me staring into my face
