AN: Here's chapter three. It's bite-sized. -Enjoy-

Disclaimer: I'd rather own our own 'Real' Reality than the Naruto-verse. Ofcourse the latter is nice too, but I don't own that one either.

Slowly but surely, the weeks trickled past, and it was time.

Joy

Over the course of nearly a decade, I had somehow managed to forget the depth of my hatred for this sensation. This refresher was most definitely unwelcome, despite the fact that it heralded the end of this monotomy.

It was the birth of Akiyama Tayuya.

I'm feeling merciful and won't go into the details of childbirth, for the males among you.

But apparently, there were complications.

I wouldn't fully understand until later, but I had been reborn into the Naruto universe. I may only have lived for 25 years in total, but due to the fact that 9 of those were spend as Alice Pond, my spiritual energy was through the roof.

It had also very nearly smothered what little physical energy this newborn body had.

I must say I have great respect for my new mother. I had survived for this long, because I had been draining her own physical energy. Being a civilian only worsened her condition.

Despite the fact that I was quite literally leeching the life out of her, she had decided to keep me: a product of rape.

In the end I lived, but during those months I had spend in the hospital, Akiyama Akemi had succumbed to her condition.

Apparently I was interesting enough to the upper elechons, that I was subjected to intensive treatment. Were I to ever manage getthing my physical energy up to even half the level of it's current spiritual counterpart, I'd be nearing Kage-level chakra-reserves.

That is to say, if my spiritual energy wouldn't grow with age, training and use too. Which it would.

Such a pity that my mother just conveniently happened to receive substandard care, leaving me without a legal guardian.

Have I mentioned how much I hate politics? It never ends well for me.

Fortunately there was a small light at the end of the tunnel, or rather, the shadow of fire. I was reborn into Konoha, and while the Unholy Trinity could plot all they want, they had to do most of that behind the back of the Hokage.

Who was one to take the opportunity to make a powerplay himself.

I'd still be a weapon, mind you, but at least I'd be a humanely treated one, as one of his wards.
