Chapter 1: Am I Rasa?
Tom Curi was completely confused.
He had just gone to sleep after a psychology exam and out of nowhere, he began to vaguely see images of a child's life in what he assumed was the world of Naruto.
The images gradually began to become clearer and Tom Curi could understand that he was seeing the life of a boy named Rasa who lived in Sunagakure.
As the images passed by, Tom could only think of it all like a dream.
Tom continued to watch the life of the boy named Rasa with interest and confusion when suddenly a rather sad scene presented itself.
The poor boy was visited by the third Kazekage of Sunagakure who told him that his parents had died in a failed mission.
Apparently, the mission was to ambush an important noble of the land of fire, but the information was wrong and apparently this noble had a large number of Konoha Jounin in hiding waiting for the ambush (which Tom could easily discern meant that the ambush information was leaked).
This left Rasa's parents and their team with the only option of holding back the Konoha ninja so that a small portion of the team could go and report this to the Kazekage.
Luckily this was achieved but at the cost of the sacrifice of his two parents and 3 more Jounin from the sand village.
Only 2 ninjas managed to escape to report what had happened.
After telling what happened to the poor child Rasa, the Kazekage withdrew leaving his space to let alone and quiet the child who was crying inconsolably for the death of his parents.
Tom Curi continued to watch the boy's life and concluded that this was the Rasa who in the future would be the Fourth Kazekage.
The Rasa boy did not seem to improve as the days went by and the pain of the loss of his parents only increased.
After a month the boy was alone in his house, as usual, he was crying as he always used to do when he was alone and in a fit of anger he screamed with all his strength discharging all the anger and pain he had.
At that moment Tom Curi witnessed how the eyes of the boy who would be the next fourth Kazekage turned completely black leaving only the pupil of the eye that was now golden.
Soon after this happened, a wave of golden sand erupted from the young boy's feet destroying the entire room Rasa was in.
Once this happened, the boy stopped screaming and fainted.
At the same instant that Rasa fainted, Tom Curi felt that everything around him seemed to become a blur.
'Looks like the dream is over' thought Tom Curi finding out that he was already awake.
But for some unknown reason, he felt a very peculiar sensation throughout his body.
Tom felt as if he was completely restrained but he wasn't being restrained as he could feel his body, it just didn't respond as he wanted it to, it was as if it was so small and different, there was also such a strange feeling running through his whole body, something unfamiliar but very pleasant.
'It's like an electrical charge running through my whole body, so strange but it feels good, so magnetic ?' thought Tom confused with what he was feeling.
He couldn't understand what was happening and found himself unable to move for a few moments, he could only feel that electric and magnetic feeling all over his body.
Finally, he slowly managed to open his eyes and was surprised by what he saw.
-Year 18 A.5V (After the establishment of the 5 great shinobi villages)
In a very ordinary house in the hidden village of the sand, a magical situation was happening that would change the development of the entire future Ninja world.
In one of the rooms of the house, there was a boy about 6 years old soaked in tears and surrounded by golden dust that covered the entire floor of the semi-destroyed room.
In front of the boy, there is a portrait hanging on the wall of a couple no more than 30 years old and a child in the woman's hands, the boy has red hair and is very happy in the arms of the beautiful lady with hair just as red as him, she has a beautiful smile and a figure that any man would admire, while the man next to her has dark blue hair along with a cold expression and deep gray eyes that do not let you see many emotions at all.
Suddenly, the boy who was lying in a puddle of tears and golden dust raised his head with a look in his eyes of surprise, confusion, and reflection.
All this is because the look in this child's eyes does not belong to the original owner of this body, but to Tom Curi.
That's right, Tom Curi found himself awakening from his strange "dream" only to find himself in the body of the Rasa child he had been 'dreaming' about and had been seeing his entire childhood until the loss of his parents.
Tom Curi was in shock trying to understand his situation.
He was a simple student of physics and psychology.
Well actually he was more focused on physics, but psychology seemed so interesting to him that he studied it as a hobby
And Now Apparently, he transmigrated for some reason into this body and got all of the young man's memories, that was pretty unique.
'Was this supposed to be another weird and crazy dream? If not, what kind of a bad joke it is' thought Tom Curi.
Tom Curi was skeptical of his current situation, he had never believed in Gods or reincarnation or anything like that, he always believed that when one died they simply disappeared from existence in a night of eternal sleep.
He was more than stunned.
'This has to be a dream. A very long, very graphic, very realistic dream, but a dream after all'
'That's right, I must be having an extremely realistic dream and this was just a fantasy he was going through until he finally woke up' he said to himself.
Tom Curi knew that on occasion one could come to have dreams so real that they don't seem like dreams.
'But the strange thing is that these dreams are usually ones in which things happen that don't seem strange or disturbed and when you open your eyes you come to wonder if they really happened or not. And my case is not exactly like that, fuck, maybe I really transmigrated' thought Tom.
Tom knew that hyperrealistic dreams are so intense that sometimes people who suffer from them have false awakenings, that is, they think they have woken up, got dressed, and gone to work or do their daily activities as usual, when in reality they are still in bed sleeping.
This usually occurs in the REM (rapid eye movement) sleep state, when the brain is active and fully functioning to file those memories it needs to store and get rid of the less important ones.
In this state, dreams can seem very real, because they are even literal as the brain is deciding what to remember and what to forget.
Tom Curi considered many things and probabilities at first.
But as time went on, he began to feel less and less certain that this could have anything to do with a realistic dream state.
He was now experiencing transmigration firsthand, so he couldn't stay in a state of denial for long, he was now in the world of Naruto where the supposed gods, sages, and shinigami exist, all sorts of strange and fantastical things.
It was then that he realized that this was something he still could not reason or find any logic in at present, so it was better to accept the situation and then worry about these things.
Tom Curi always considered himself a calm and logical person, the fact that he had studied psychology had really helped him, even more, to take all kinds of situations calmly.
Even though this situation was a bit extreme compared to his daily life on Earth, he was still able to stay calm and think things through.
Thanks to this in a short time, he decided that even if he still had his doubts that this was a very realistic dream, he might as well see how it developed and move on with his current situation.
Chapter 2: Ninja Academy
'Well, let's go over what we know. In the future, he should supposedly be the fourth Kazekage, Gaara's father and the person Orochimaru used as an alibi to invade Konoha with the sand village, which means Rasa ended up dying at some point in the story and being replaced by Orochimaru.'
'Nothing very encouraging I must say' he said to himself amused with the inconvenient situation he was in.
'But on the bright side, I now find myself 8 years after the end of the first ninja world war, in an extremely poor village because of the unsuitable terrain to progress and the clear consequences left by the war, but apparently Rasa's two parents were elite Jōnin who were familiar with the third Kazekage and to make things better, they left him a large amount of money for the next few years and also many useful scrolls with which he can accelerate his progress as a ninja, which was indispensable if he wanted to survive'
'I am currently only 6 years old, but Rasa already extracted chakras at the age of 5 years old with the help of his parents and he had already started training in basic Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, showing great talent which was seen by his parents and also the third Kazekage since his parents were from his faction, so I also had a good relationship with him, which would facilitate my future progress if I have his support.'
'Now I just need to focus on improving quickly and showing my abilities to the Kazekage to get more benefits and progress soon, being ready for the next Second Shinobi World War which would be in only 12 years, so I don't have that much time, I must hurry in my training and power increase' Tom thought with a firm and determined look.
4 months after Tom Curi's transmigration to Rasa.
After settling on his goals and stopping thinking so much about how he was in this situation or why he was in this situation, Tom started to concentrate on what he had to do to survive in this extreme situation he was in and how to make quick progress using all his knowledge and advantages.
The first thing he did was to recognize the name Rasa as his own along with his 6-year-old body to start shaping his future.
Thanks to this he achieved great progress during this time, he stayed locked in his house practicing the scrolls that belonged to his parents at all times, the only thing he went out for was to supply the house with the basic necessities and this was only once a week, so he had almost no contact with anyone in the village.
There were only a few villagers who knew him and who used to ask worried about his situation, but after giving them some dry and quick answers they left him alone since they could understand his situation and knew that he needed time to recover from the death of his parents.
All his effort in these months gave great results, not only did he control his chakras, but he increased his reserves quite a bit and also managed to learn a lot of level C ninjutsu that his parents had left at home.
To Tom's surprise, this was extremely simple and fast, it was a pity that his chakras below Genin, were not enough to learn level B ninjutsu.
Rasa could control and use the Elements Wind, Earth, Water, and Yin, which gave Tom a vast amount of ninjutsu to learn.
But Tom was now in big trouble, as he recently received a notice from the Kazekage that he must begin a formal apprenticeship at the ninja academy, as he is 6 years old.
The third Kazekage arranged for him to enter his first year at the academy, even though Tom didn't really want to go, as it was a waste of time since he already knew most of the things they teach there, so the academy can't give him any new knowledge to help him improve quickly.
But as everything has its pros and cons, in this case, if he goes to the academy, he can gain more fame in the village, get the attention of the higher-ups, and have access to more benefits.
He is sure that if the third Kazekage sees a good performance and progress in a few years he would take him as a direct apprentice since he already has a good relationship with the parents of Rasa and Rasa has a great natural talent.
That's how the next morning, Tom/Rasa headed to the ninja academy, a round building, rather poor and large in size compared to other buildings in the village.
It was one of the largest buildings Tom/Rasa saw in the village, obviously, the Kazekage's building was the most prominent of all.
Upon entering his study hall, he was surprised to find a large number of children of various ages, ranging from 5 to 9 years old, all in one room.
But considering the poor state of the village and the scarcity of resources, it is more than understandable that so many children of different ages would be accommodated in the same room.
Tom looked around the classroom in search of a seat and just as he was about to go to take his place, two very similar children approached him.
"Rasa, I haven't seen you for months, I was already starting to worry if you would be okay, my sister keeps asking about you in the village," said one of the boys.
"Yashamaru!" said the other embarrassed boy who if one looks closely, one can distinguish that she is a girl and apparently Yashamaru's Sister.
" H-hello Rasa, how have you been these days, are you feeling better already, if you need anything, you know you can tell me," said again the girl embarrassed and a little nervous.
Yashamaru repeated, putting his hand on his chest in the position of a fist: "That's right, don't hesitate to talk to us".
'So this is Yashamaru and Karura, the twin brothers. If I remember correctly the girl in front of me is my future wife Karura and the boy is her twin brother, both were born a year after me. I remember that her family is also part of the third Kazekage's faction, so since childhood, they have had a close relationship with Rasa' thought Tom/Rasa.
Both twins had short light brown hair that doesn't reach their shoulders, but the girl had beautiful bright blue eyes, while her brother has a more dull blue-gray shade.
Karura looked very embarrassed by what her brother said when she greeted him.
Listening to them, Tom/Rasa couldn't help but show a smile, these two children were the only friends Rasa had in the village since she was little, and apparently, the girl despite being only 5 years old already shows signs of feeling a great attachment for Rasa.
'No doubt Naruto's children mature at a very premature age, only 5 years old and they already have this behavior, and his brother apparently admires Rasa. how awkward' thought Tom.
"Don't worry, I needed some time alone, but I'm better now, I took the opportunity to focus on my practice these days to improve my strength and if I need anything you can be sure I'll let you know thank you" replied Tom/Rasa with a barely visible smile and a calm voice and tone that didn't sound like that of a 6-year-old.
The twins smiled in agreement with Rasa's response, downplaying his mature tone.
The three of them sat down together and continued to talk about different things that had happened to them over the past few months.
They sat at the back of the right side of the classroom next to the windows at Rasa's request.
Karura sat next to Rasa, while Yashamaru was across from the two of them and went from chatting with them to chatting with other of his friends in the classroom.
Apparently, he was a very social and friendly boy.
On the other hand, Karura seemed to be happy and content just being next to Rasa as she couldn't help smiling all the time while chatting with him.
Chapter 3: Combat
Rasa spent the next few months training at home, going to the academy, and improving his strength day by day.
He already mastered perfectly all kinds of level C ninjutsu of water, earth, and wind elements.
He also tried some B-level ninjutsu of wind and earth, but they exhausted him quickly, while B-level water element ninjutsu he could not try since he had no scrolls.
Rasa also made rapid progress with the manipulation and control of gold dust.
He also tried to progress with his Kekkei Genkai the magnet element in iron, but he did not obtain any result, contrary to the gold dust that he managed to control with facility, Rasa realized that to achieve some progress in the control of iron he was missing something that he unknown.
Rasa determined that without a scroll to help him master it or an instructor to tell him what to do, it would be impossible since he did not know the fundamentals of iron control using his chakra.
In fact, controlling gold dust was so natural to him that he didn't even need the fundamentals to manipulate it.
After spending some time at the academy, Rasa was recognized and admired by his classmates, since his grades were at the top of all exams.
But he knew that the most important thing was still to demonstrate his skills in real combat.
And that opportunity was going to be given to him today at the academy.
Upon entering the teacher looked at the classroom and set his eyes on some of the outstanding children in these months, knowing that all these would be the future of the village:
"Alright, Students, today we will have a combat test, in which you can challenge any student of your age or older" the teacher started saying.
"Professor, will it be just taijutsu or will we be able to use ninjutsu as well?" asked excitedly one of the older boys in the classroom who must have been about 9 years old.
"Well, this time you will be able to use whatever medium you think is useful to win, remember that your results will be important for your future development and all the results will be seen by Kazekage himself" replied the teacher calmly.
When the teacher finished speaking, the classroom was filled with murmurs and kids full of energy and confidence in their abilities.
Many of the children who had a good backing in the village looked at Rasa with anger, that's because he was the one who stood out the most among them, to the point that he took the attention away from everyone else.
One boy after another began to promise to defeat him in combat today, to which he obviously did not react since he already has the high level of a Genin, so a bunch of little kids with airs of grandeur did not worry him.
Rasa laughed internally at the situation he was in: 'A bunch of kids with no experience in life, if they were Itachi or Kakashi at their age maybe they would worry me, but with the mediocre level they have that will never happen'.
Bored Rasa started talking and joking with Karura who was getting embarrassed by every little thing he said in joke.
It was too obvious the affection the girl had for him.
'God, how is it that a girl who isn't even 6 years old is already thinking about boys. Although I guess logic doesn't make any sense in this world, Itachi at 4 years old had already participated in a war and killed people, and Kakashi at only 5 years old had already become a Genin' thought Rasa as he nodded his head.
He still couldn't get used to some things in this world, since from his modern point of view many things were simply ridiculous and unthinkable.
After a few moments, all the students made their way to the academy's training field.
When they arrived at the training field for combat, the first 8-year-old boy, did not wait for the teacher's instructions and went straight to the platform and pointed his finger at Rasa:
"Today I want to see how good you are in combat, no matter how good you are at studying and exams if you can't apply it in combat, today I Chaico challenge you Rasa," said with an air of superiority the bear boy Chaico.
When Chaico announced his challenge so soon all the other children began to murmur about who would be the winner if they would face each other or if Rasa would accept the challenge.
And since Rasa was two years younger, he could refuse to fight him.
Obviously, everyone was interested because Rasa was the first place in everything since he joined the academy, but he was still two years younger than Chaico, and not only that, apparently this boy was the previous center of attention until Rasa arrived, so he was considered the strongest among all the little ones in his classroom.
"Chaico, I never gave permission for you to start," the professor told him.
"Well, whatever, don't worry professor, I accept, it's going to be quick, after all, I don't want to waste time with a child," said Rasa without showing any interest in the confrontation.
But the truth was that he was interested in this match, as he could make his level clear to the higher-ups in the sand village and then gain attention together with benefits.
"You- you- you- you talk too big, today I will teach you to respect me, I am two years older than you and you call me a child, Fuck, I thought to restrain myself because of your age but now you made me angry, I am going to make you suffer child," said an enraged and embarrassed Chaico.
Rasa just looked at him with indifference to the point that it seemed that his look was very despising towards Chaico.
All this surprised everyone in the class, including the teacher who looked at Rasa with interest and doubt.
"Very well, if you both agree gather for combat," said the professor.
By the time he finished speaking, Rasa was already on the combat field in front of Chaico.
When the teacher indicated that they could begin, Chaico was the one who made the first move and pulled out kunais throwing them at Rasa, while making hand signals.
Rasa on his own only pulled out a Kunai and defended himself without any problem deflecting all the thrown kunais.
A few seconds later Chaico finished his ninjutsu and said "Fūton Kamikaze" creating some small wind tornadoes that approached Rasa.
This was only D-rank ninjutsu, so Rasa didn't worry a bit and quickly performed hand signals and summoned a wall of earth.
Chaico did not give up and quickly used another Jutsu "Fūton: Shinkūgyoku" from his mouth came out some wind bullets aimed at Rasa.
The earthen wall protecting him broke and the wind bullets reached Rasa, but the instant they hit him, the hit Rasa turned into a log.
And leaving no time for Chaico to get happy or think of his next move, Rasa reappeared beside him and hit him with his hand behind the head and he fainted.
'When did he do the seals?' that was the last thing Chaico could think of before he collapsed in a faint.
At first, the students were in shock at what had happened, but the teacher quickly crowned Rasa victorious and that's when they all seemed to react and applaud him.
Rasa created a great commotion among the group of children, some congratulated him, others did not quite believe it and the teacher who was pleasantly surprised by Rasa's great fighting ability just smiled and took Chaico checking that he was okay.
The professor had clearly seen when Rasa did the hand seals behind the wall to then move behind Chaico and knock him out.
'Smart from so young looks like we have a diamond in the rough' thought the teacher.
After this bout, the other children who had vowed to beat him and were not convinced with the outcome, took on Rasa one after the other.
This day was the day when the 7 children, considered the future geniuses of the village, ended up fainting in combat, without even touching Rasa, who was only 6 years old.
All this spread quickly in the village a few days later and obviously also reached the ears of the Third Kazekage, who was watching the papers with the results of the fights, the main one was of Rasa and his skill to obtain the victory without much effort, which made him smile slightly, he already had great expectations for the child.
So it was that in the village the name of the little genius of the village of the arena, Rasa, began to be heard.
