Dying while being aware is painful. Very painful.. I don't think I will ever use public transports again if they have them here. If I am dead then how am I talking? It's because I reincarnated. I don't know where as you know babies don't have enough senses. The fanfics that have the baby identifying their mom and dad as soon as they are born probably overestimate the brain's capacity a lot.
I spent the first few months of my second life in a derilious fever dream. It was like lucid dream but more painful because any attempts at grasping the reality were foiled by intense headaches. By the time I was 7 months old, I started to grasp the reality. By the time I was 9 months old, I had accepted my situation. I was likely in an anime or novel world. There was no point in deluding myself otherwise. But while it was prudent to find out the world I was in, it is a task for Future!Minato. Right now, I am content to play with my new father. Hey I am a baby so I enjoy baby privileges.
The new language sounded a lot like Japanese and thus was easy to learn.Of course when all your free time goes into learning Japanese to watch Anime without subtitles, this is what happens. Father called me a genius for that and for some reason it made me quite happy.
Another change from my old life. My mother and father are sweet. I won't completely blame my old parents. I was a shitty son to them as well but honestly the hostility between us made it much easier to accept the lovely couple of Ojama and Mio as my parents.
Father was mostly out on missions as he put it. I don't what these missions are but I hope they aren't dangerous. I am starting to genuinely love my parents. Mom is mostly a housewife but she sometimes goes on these missions as well.
The months continue to pass peacefully while I get no indication of the world I am in. Mostly because a 1 year old investigating anything is very creepy and secondly I am not much interested in it. Other than a handful of worlds there aren't many where you can actually do some shit when you are a toddler like me so I try to not care about the matter.
The first shock of my life came when Father gave a Jiraiya plushie to me as a birthday gift for my 2 gift. I was so dumbfounded that I gave my parents a scare when I stopped talking for a whole minute...in the middle of chattering. So yeah, apparently I am a dumbass but in my defence I had no idea how ninja headbands look IRL. When I actually processed the news of where I was, I had meltdown. No seriously, I had a meltdown. Fortunately it was night time and I was in my room while my parents were screwing like rabbits downstairs. Huh.. benefits of having sex fiends as parents I guess. They were into some kinky shit.
Anyways, I had a meltdown and realised why I was trying to avoid discovering whichever world I was in. I was trying to escape reality. Looks like the shock of my death hadn't totally set in. I recovered in about an hour and was terrified in being a civilian ninja in this deathworld. Well not exactly civilian but technically clan less ninja might be a better definition. I was terrified for an hour or so before smacking my head and reminding myself of the badasses who were on the top of the food chain in this world despite not having any bloodline limits. Prime examples: Orochimaru, Jiraiya, A(Kumo raikage) and Minato fucking namikaze. The hax boi who killed 10,000 ninjas in a single battle. The Hokage after which I was named apparently. I must be in Naruto's generation then. Honestly I don't remember whether the 10,000 deaths were fanon or canon but I don't care.
So yeah I can do this. Now only if I can run properly without being exhausted in a freaking minute! I thought ninja babies were more durable.
The time continued to pass not before I asked Dad about chakra and other ninja things:sneaky: .He thought that I was fascinated by chakra which I actually was so he sought to taught me the basics and I got to know the news that Dad was apparently a Special Jonin and mom was a High Chunnin which was apparently a thing here. I really thought that the term High Chunnin was fanon. The knowledge must have mixed up after watching so many fanfics. Ugh.. I miss the days when I could just binge watch fanfics after finishing homework. God this is making me nostalgic but enough! Minato, you are not an arsehole. Don't go moping over pointless things on your parents.
Dad basically taught me chakra theory which is actually an important thing here. You see the very first thing Dad taught me was that Shinobi who experiment with jutsus without at least reaching Special Jonin level of skill die horrible deaths which makes sense actually. Experimenting with magic *cough cough* sorry chakra to make new jutsus when you don't even have a handle over basic ones is asking for a horrible death. This was a lesson father beat into my skull.
Secondly, Chakra is supposed to not be unlocked under the age of 4 at minimum. The best period for unlocking your chakra is apparently 6-7 years of age. When I asked why Father gave me a complex example which I was only able to understand because I was reincarnated. Apparently raising an almost self sufficient and a very intelligent child does blind you to how to treat children in the right way. Anyways, the example he gave was that when you are in a line for sweets(thank God he at least mentioned sweets in the example), you have to wait your turn for taking the sweets. If you try to rush it because of whatever reason you get less sweets and the shopkeeper remains angry with you. If you wait too much then the sweets remaining will be way less when you go for the second turn. Don't worry if the example confused you, it similarly confused the fuck out of me until I contemplated on it.
The gist of the matter is that during the early years your chakra coils are forming and if you unlock your chakra way too early, they remain underdeveloped. If you wait too much the coils will start being damaged and loose due to not getting proper exercise. Essentially, 6-7 is the age when the coils are mostly finished developing and ready for use.
It makes sense otherwise I wouldn't get why most intelligent kids won't just graduate out of the academy by 7-8 year of age. Kakashi graduated fast but in turn damaged his chakra coils a little. I think that Sakumo's death was the reason why Kakashi graduated otherwise it makes no sense for him to hamper his growth. This is the reason I think why Kakashi had those chakra consumption problems.
The years continued to pass smoothly as I was learning basic taijustu from father and I was an actual genius in it according to my father which was bound to happen because most children my age don't have my diligence. Don't get me wrong. I don't want any fucking thing to do with Naruto 'Talk no Jutsu' Uzumaki or Sasuke 'I kill my loved ones' Uchiha but I at least want to be Kage level in this deathworld.
No one in this world has free will until they are at least an S-class threat even then it is difficult but I will manage. I have no intentions of going out of my way to help 'poor naruto' or Sasuke or any main character. I have my own life to live. I want to be a competent and powerful ninja. Strong enough to at least hold my own for a few minutes against end game Naruto. I also want a hot girl as my wife which I am likely to find in this universe. Kunoichi are at minimum 8.5/10. I have seen my mom and she is hot as fuck. I don't have nor will have any incestuous feelings for her but I don't deny that my parents are hot. I will be hot as well. At least if I don't quit the shinobi carrier. Come to think of it, I don't my surname. Whatever, that's not important.
Oh right.. where was I? Ah yes... Taijustu. I diligently practised Taijustu with my dad and he remarked that I could beat most genins when I was about to turn 6. Only 5 months before I could go to the academy. I was happy and free and loved. Everything was going right and then Iwa happened.
I was just sitting in the house practicing my katas. Mom and Dad were gone for a patrol mission in the Land of Rice because apparently Iwa ninjas were causing some ruckus in the area. Then a person knocked on the main door. Now most reincarnation in my position would have been ready to fight to the death at this moment but I was not most people. My parents had friends and most of them have visited the house many times. Besides, I was nobody special enough even if my taijustu was first class. I opened the door and saw uncle Kazuta standing outside with a package. I thought it would have been important and invited him inside. Had I been paying attention, I would have seen Uncle Kazuta sobbing softly. He sat inside the drawing room for a moment and then broke the news of my parents' death at the hand of Iwa 'missing nins'.
I was sent into a shock. These few years had been the best few years of my life and then those fuckers had to take it away, take it all away.. ARGHGHHHH...
I screamed and screamed and screamed. Uncle Kazuta held me right and then I started sobbing.. Why... Why the fuck did this happen? Why?? Isn't this a peace period? There isn't even a war so why?? WHY...
I stopped sobbing after sometime and took a look at the will of my parents. Uncle Kazuta had left me sometime ago. My parents' friends knew that I was a smart child. That was the most likely reason they let me read their will. I mechanically take hold of the package and see the name on top of it...Minato Namikaze.
Minato namikaze... namikaze...namikaze...
Hahhahahha...hahahaha... hahahaha... *hysterical and maniacal giggling along with soft sobs continue*
Sometime far in the future*
"Hello there! I am Minato Namikaze and I am your death."
"Run... Run damnit.. the BUTCHER is here..""Run or we will die""Don't run, fight!"""He is here he is here"" Oh my god, we are going to die"
"You know why? I have the high ground"
Sometime later*
"Ah that was cathartic"
smiles maniacally*
[A/n: So I gave Minato a personal vendetta against Iwa... Those fuckers are gonna go down... Anyways, my reason for doing this is that I DON'T like perfect protags. They always feel a bit too mechanical to me. Now this, this gives an actual reason for Minato to kill 10,000 Iwa ninjas without feeling guilty unlike the Original!Minato who did it for the PEACE!
As for why Minato's parents died? The reason is in the first thread marked post if you didn't get it. Do a quick reread and it will click.
Anyways, Goodbye and Stay tuned for the next chapter]
