Just a dumb little idea that came to me while staying up late, this might only ever be this one chapter, but who knows.
Chapter 1: With all due respect, no thank you.
It all started with my first life, I was just some kid who loved to go fast, but was always playing it safe. My friends would race me every few days, on foot, with bikes or roller-blades; we used whatever we could to test each other. Now I was far from the fastest in our group, but I was never beaten on this one path we would race. The once close to my home that I would have to walk every day to get anywhere, I never knew why they always wanted to race me there, but something I knew for a fact, is that no one will ever beat me on that path, not because of any show of skill, no it is just because I died before anyone had the chance to.
Death was something I did not see coming that day, moving along that road I knew better than most of my friends, my best pair of skates making my glide on the paved earth at a slower speed than normal, then it was just a blur, a glint of something long and shiny, someone shouting 'pull', then I was flying. I was moving through the air, I went over the guard rail and fell, I don't know how far I fell, I don't know how I landed, because the next thing I knew I was a baby again. The stories of reincarnation where an old thing, something that most people know at least one of, but the fact one is happening to me, I must say, I did not see that coming.
I sit there on that baby bed and look over the empty room I was left in, the sound of crying willing the space around me. It was very annoying but I got used to it quickly. My new Mother and Farther would dote on that sister of mine all day, the most they did for me was make sure I was fed, but they were always so tired when they came in that I just behaved myself, being the quiet kid. Now I know what an anime is, I have watched them and read manga and fanfictions, so I am no stranger to where I am, the wonderful world of the Naruto series, and I know who my mum and dad are. The wonderful Fourth Hokage and his wife. Needless to say, I might be fucked.
Life was a slow burn here, for me nothing ever happened, but that sister of mine was a hell of a woman, so much fire in her heart, never slowing down and running all over the place, the little hero of the village, miss Mito Namikaze. My little sister and the only thing I have fun with, she tries so hard to get under my skin, bragging about how she was trained my mother and farther, how she will be better than me at everything, but all I ever did was listen in amazement, all I ever did was praise her and congratulate her. The look on her face when I hugged her and said how happy I was for her, that memory will always make me smile.
Now I'm cutting hope for anything else here, I never wanted, nor will I ever want to be a ninja, I do not want to fight anyone for any reason, I just want to live my life, so I have avoided any kind of training or power-up. I have said no to all the things that come to me in my dreams, I don't have the nine-tails in me and I refuse to touch any weird old weapons I come across when I'm outside.
Today is the day of me and my wonderful sister's 11th birthday, she is graduating next year as the top student so her side of the party is massive while mine is just a bunch of merchants that think getting close to me will get them some good deals in the village. Now, this could be true, as I am a bit of a prodigy myself, though my family does not know I was top of my class in the civilian side of the schooling for 4 years running, graduating with a perfect score a few years early, the Non-ninja side of the village loves me, while the ninja side doesn't know I exist.
"Naruto, come down, its time for your Sisters party" I hear my mother call
"I will be right there Okasan" I call down with a happy tone, make no mistake, they did 'neglect' me, but I don't care, in fact in thankful, as I said I never wanted to be a ninja, so life is good.
Making my way down I make sure to grab the gift I have picked out for my dear sister, It's not much, just some of the sweats she loves, a set on ninja tools, and a very cool looking black bladed ninjato that I made sure to not touch, handling it with calipers and tongs, just in case, seen to many stories where 'kid gets superpowers from touching the sword'.
The party was massive, from all the big names to a few new faces, there are so many people here to have fun and make that brat sister of mine happy, im all too happy for her to, no matter how bad things got I could never hate her, That red-haired little spit fire who holds the little fox demon. Right now she is dressed in some very fine kimono with a flame-like pattern on it, her hair is tied into twin buns and she is talking to a bunch of the kids. Well, I know not to get involved with that, so I just place my gift down with the others and do some greeting on my own, saying hi to the few people here that know me, and a few that want to know me due to my reputation. All in all, not a bad party, with luck things, will go fine and dandy, as far as I know, nothing much could go wrong, Mito was the first-born so there is no chance of that stripping of the clan head joke happening, I have no interest in being a ninja so I will not what training she is given, and the Uchiha never wanted to rebel thanks to Minato and his social skills so this place is well guarded. I wonder what if the world will try something.
"Alright attentions please" Minato calls out "I would like to thank everyone for coming to my wonderful little girl's party, Everything here is perfect" He calls out into the crowd, and I mime being hit by an arrow as he doesn't mention me at all, but I slip back into laughing about it. "Now let's have her pick out some presents to open" He says closing his little speech.
With a big laugh Mito rushes to the gifts, like any child going for the big ones first. Getting all manner of clothes, vases and other household accessories, one was an oil painting of her and our parents , all of which I could tell she hated, but still she wore a smile. When she got to the smaller gifts things went a bit better for her, somethings she could use if she wanted. But the look on her face when she got to mine, seeing that is was from me before she opened it. Oh my, that expression of shock is something im holding in a place in my heart, an expression dear old mum and dad saw and replicated when they too saw who the gift was from. They all looked over the now quite room for a bit, their eyes landing on me, seeing me sitting on a couch on the far side of the room, holding a glass of punch, a held it up and nodded to them with a bright smile, real joy on my face as I try to not laugh.
Slowly she opens the gift, first seeing the sweets I got her, a soft smile growing on her face, then she saw the ninja tools and I could swear she looked like she wanted to cry, then at last she saw the blade, a loom of wonder in her eyes, slowly she traces the blade with a finger, slowly she puts her hand on it, then she lifts it up by the handle.
Her eyes flash white and the sword glows.
I just knew that sword was trouble wasn't normal.
Meanwhile on Mount Myoboku.
The Grand Elder Toad sits in contemplation, the weird series of dreams he has had, the prophecy he revives changes every time he sleeps,sometimes the child is a warlord who will ruin the world, other times, it's the child saving the world with a show of power but never does he see the same one twice. Fate seems to be braking at the very core.
"this is a cause for concern" He speaks softly, drifting into a sleep, hoping to see a vision that can explain things.
But nothing came to him that night, just a pure slumber with no dream at all.
End of what might be a one-shot , or chapter one of a long story, we will have to see if this becomes anything.
