Born of Two Worlds

While I remember perfectly the identity and memories of the past, in this world I was named Hirata Hyūga. Born into the prestigious Hyūga clan, my father was an accomplished Jonin while my mother served under Tsunade-hime as a trusted member of the medical corps. I now live my life in duality, often spending hours gazing into the bamboo ceiling of my bedroom.. wondering the reason why I have these memories. Why am I here…

Perhaps the reason why these memories appeared gradually is due to the developing brain and chakra pathways my body possesses. Significant development might be the criteria that triggered this.. event. Make sense, and I am forever grateful for not having the cognizant to experience my birth and the first few years of having to suck my late mother's breastmilk for nourishment or defecating in my diapers. Thank God for small miracles.

My mother, Eriko Akinoda passed away during the Kyubi's rampage in Konohagakure years ago. My father, Hisaruno Hyūga survived thanks to mother's timely intervention, but he lost his will of fire with his passing. Father now serve as a training instructor in the Hyūga Clan's Taijutsu style, rarely venturing out of the clan compound.

Born into the Hyūga Side Branch family, I was branded with their juinjutsu a year ago. It's not an ideal situation to be in, aside from the secondary-treatment within the clan, we are expected to blindly serve the interest of the clan and the Main Branch family above all else. And the Caged Bird seal basically allows a main branch member to force you to do their bidding, and should a side branch member refuse, his seal could be activated to cause immense pain, and if need be, death. However I could understand the paranoia and necessity to keep other Byakugan wielder under control, and to destroy their eyes should they die.

Luckily, it's nothing that years of dedicated study in Fuinjutsu couldn't reverse engineer. If there is one pursuit of a Shinobi's art that is utterly broken and versatile, that would be the art of sealing. With some ink, paper, and a whole load of knowledge, one can rewrite reality and transcend the boundary of space/time with just Fuinjutsu. This art is one I shall prioritize to learn in the future.

That, and the time-proven method of fighting evil with thy fists!! The Taijutsu Techniques that the memories shown me had me convinced of their power and potential. Combined with my Hyūga heritage, I possess the perfect set of talent to reach insurmountable heights. But that's just my daydreaming for the future, I must first harden my resolve and prepare for a tough life as a Shinobi.

The next matter I need to address is my meta-knowledge and changes in psyche. Within the span of two months, I had morphed into an entirely different person. I now have the intellect of a grown man, certainly passable to convince others that I am a child prodigy? Shall I claim that label, and finish my education earlier? My current age puts me 2 years older than Naruto Uzumaki, and 1 year above Neji Hyūga. I'll have enough time to train myself to a higher standard than most genin in the canon timeline. Perhaps, even more.

Secondly, I would start to write down the events and secrets granted by this meta-knowledge. While I seek to change the fate and storyline of this realm, causing said knowledge to grow obsolete over time, taking notes wouldn't do any harm especially with the comprehension of the English language I gained all of a sudden. While the rest of the world speaks Japanese, the vocabulary and alphabet of the English language will be near undecipherable to all but the brightest mind.

And so begins my scheming and preparation of the future, to walk the path that shall lead me to the truth of this world.
