Chapter 1: Birth.
'Hmm, this is at first, message vanished, but I still can't see or feel anything.' Our hero thought to himself. 'Scratch that, I feel, I feel WEAK AS FUCK. Fucking hell what's going on?' To give you an accurate representation of how weak he felt, try remembering how you feel in the morning when you can't even make a fist.
'Wait, don't tell me...This darkness, this weakness and warm floating feeling. I'm in the fucking womb, aren't I?'
{[That you are, my friend] he said cheerfully.
'Dude, really?'
[Whaaat? It's better to start on chakra manipulation as soon as possible, right?] He said clearly amused by this whole situation. [Besides, I thought you'll be rather born on October 10th just like in every other world.]
'*sigh* Oh well, how much 'till I'm born?'
[Two months. Good luck, Naruto.]}
'*sigh* Well, let's not waste any time and get a feel for chakra. But before that I'll check my stats.'

{'Uchiha? What the FUCK?! How the fuck do I have an Uchiha genome?! Not that I'm ungrateful mind you.'
[Hehe, I take it you like it. That's the little gift I was talking about.]
'Like it, I'm LOVE it. Having sharingan is going to make this SO much better.' Naruto's lips twitched upwards. 'How am I going to explain it, though?'
[Oh, no need to worry, just ask Hiruzen about it.]
'Will do. Thanks man.'
[No problem, you deserved it.]}
'Now let's check what all the stats mean.' Since meanings differ from world to world. Plus there are some stats he's never seen before.
HP: amount of damage you can take before entering critical condition (only lvl 5 iryojutsu can restore HP in critical condition).
CP: amount of chakra you have.
SP: every physical action consumes stamina.

INS: ability to see 'underneath the underneath', ability to communicate with other beings, ability to comprehend the world, intuition, logical and tactical/strategic thinking. Received by observing and making correct conclusions.
SPD: movement speed, max shunshin distance. For maximum effect balance STR and DEX (if one of them is higher than the other, count as if both of them are at the lowests' value).
'Interesting, I think my main stats will be DEX and STR. And THANK FUCKING KAMI for that 'WIS cannot be lower than INT'. I just became a Great One and I'm already lovin' it. Final conclusion will be drawn when I get my jinchuuriki bonuses. If it adds INT great, if it adds straight CP, I'll add WIS to the list. Now that that's out of the way might as well start on chakra manipulation.' Naruto thought to himself and started meditating. After a minute or so he started to get a feel for chakra, good thing he's done similar thing before or it might have taken hours or maybe days.
'Now, when I got the fell for it, let's try manipulating it.' True to his words… thoughts… whatever, he started to move chakra around his body. Thanks to his perfect control it was quite easy. He quickly found out that he could move his body thanks to higher amounts of chakra being there.
Physical Skill unlocked: chakra enhancement (by channeling chakra to certain parts of your body you can increase their physical attributes - at lvl 1 - STR, DEX, SPD +25%)
'Well, it does make sense since shinobi increase their physical performance through chakra. Though I imagine doing everything with chakra won't be very good considering pure physical aspect of things.'
INS +1
'Looks like I was right.' His lips twitched again.
'Let's try something else, shall we.' With that he tried to expel chakra from the inside to outside of his body. Again, results were quite predictable.
Sensory Skill unlocked: chakra pulse (by releasing a pulse of chakra you are able to sense any life form and object in the radius - at lvl 1 - 50 CP per pulse, max radius 50m, chance to be noticed – 90% (bonus - 25 CP per pulse, max radius 125m, chance to be noticed – 45%.)).
By releasing that pulse he was able to sense three chakra signatures. One female, engulfing him and one male, lying next to her. There was another one – small but very powerful right above him.
'So that's Kushina and Minato…and Kurama. Good thing they are sleeping. Don't want to alarm them by having their unborn son releasing chakra pulses. Not sure about Kurama, though. Well, it's not like it'll start informing Kushina of my manipulations, even if it could feel them. I'll probably train 'chakra pulse' at night then. Now let's try something else.'
Having another idea he tried to concentrate a chakra pulse in his hand. While previous results were expected, this was slightly less so. He expected a directed pulse, instead he got…
Physical/Fuin Skill unlocked: Chakra Chains (thanks to your potent Uzumaki blood you are able to make chains of chakra – at lvl 1 – 1 link per 5 CP, points – cone, strength – iron, 80-100 dmg.)
'OOOhhh, fuck yeah. Now, why didn't I expect that skill? Well, now I know what I'll be training while in the womb.'
After giving it some thought, our unborn hero decided not to train 'chakra enhancement'. Instead he devoted his time to getting used to his new body and leveling up 'chakra pulse' and 'chains '. After a week, when 'chakra pulse' leveled up two times but 'chains' were still on the same level, he figured out that in order for 'chains' to level up they must be used in combat or active training. However, all wasn't futile for now he was able to control three chains at a time like they were actual parts of his body…which they were in a sense.
'By the end of two months I'll be able to perfectly control all nine of them, maybe more if I feel like it.'
When there was less than a week left Naruto finally maxed out his 'chakra pulse' skill.
Sensory Skill max: chakra pulse (25 CP per pulse, 1km radius, chance to be noticed – 1% (bonus - 13 CP per pulse, 2,5km radius, chance to be noticed – 0,1%)).
Skill augmentation unlocked: Soul sense (thanks to being a Great One by releasing a pulse of chakra you are able to sense any soul in radius – at lvl 1 - additional 25 CP per pulse, 100m radius, passive radius 10m, undetectable (bonus – additional 13 CP per pulse, 250m radius, passive radius 25m)).
'Nice, nice…Makes sense. With being Great One comes great responsaaa…I mean great bonuses and skills. People can hide their chakra signature but they cannot hide their soul. I have a feeling I'll be known as one of the strongest, if not THE strongest sensor in elemental nations.'
If only he knew how true that statement was…
Finally the day came.
'October 10th 0:58 in the morning. I sense six souls with my now lvl 2 'Soul sense'. Four of them I'm quite familiar with. Kushina, Minato, Kurama and Hiruzen's wife. She often came to check up on Kushina. Hiruzen himself as well as Jiraiya and Mikoto came often too. I sometimes even herd bits of their conversations; other two females must be nurses. But I'm getting sidetracked.'
As our soon to be born hero finished his train of thought, he felt an upward pull. Deciding to help his mother, Naruto started swimming along with the pull. Finally he came to the light and felt a pair of hands grab him and hit him.
"OW, WHAT THE FUCK," were his first words… or they would have been, If he had developed vocal cords. Instead he said something along the lines of 'OW, WAWAWA'. {[Inconspicuous as fuck.]
'Shut up. I'd like to see you in my place.'}
"Give him to me, Minato." Kushina said weekly.
One set of amethyst eyes met a bigger set of amethyst eyes.
"Happy birthday, Naruto." She said with a soft voice.
At that moment a seventh soul came into the passive range.
Next time: The 3rd Jinchuuriki.
