As I open my eyes, I realise that I've apparently fallen asleep in a narrow alleyway. The walls are made out of sandstone and the ground, the place where I sleept, is pure sand. The walls have windows without glass or any sort of see-through material, just air, and the lights inside the house are deactivated, which means the owners are asleep. The sky is dark too, which means I must have randomly woken up in the middle of the night. Wait. Who even am I? Why can't I remember who I am? As I try to figure out who I am, I realise I cant remember anything at all. Panicked by this realisation, I try to look for clues around the alley where I woke up.
Alright, apparently I'm female, have a rather dark-tanned skintone, my hair is long and red and I would guess my age around 4 or 5 years old. Without a mirror, I cant say anything at all about my face, but I already feel a picture taking form inside of my mind. This may be progress, but it seems like it isn't enough. Have I overlooked something? Maybe my surroundings? Alley, windows, sandstone, sand...SAND! I finally remember something, a word - Gerudo. Is my name Gerudo? No, that doesn't feel right. But the word must have some importance for me to remember it. I need more clues. Hmm. I'm a little child and have fallen asleep in an alleyway. Am I an orphan? Where are my parents? MY father? My mother? At the thought of the word mother another memory recovers itself. This time it is a name, and a picture of a woman. Her name is Urbosa. Her aura seems kind-hearted and loving but strong and fierce when she needs to be. Almost motherly, in a way. Am I Urbosa? No, I could never be someone as strong as her. But I WANT to be like her.
I feel so much older than 4. Not physically, mentally. But how should that be possible? DId I get reincarnated or am I just gifted? No, I'm certainly not gifted, otherwise I wouldn't feel like I'm 17. I think I wouldn't feel like I'm 17 at least. That only leaves the option that I've been reincarnated or any other option I didn't think off. But let's just go with reincarnation so that I at least have some points right. Shouldn't I be losing my mind because of that right now? I mean, reincarnation means I've died, and apparently at the tender age of 17. Does the memory loss have something to do with my apparent calmness? Let's just say yes, it's easier to focus if you're sure and don't have to work with so many Maybes. I should probably try to fish some magazines out of the garbage or something like that to gather some information about my current situation.
After searching for several hours, I believe I've gather enough information to make a picture of my current situation. Apparently, the village in which I currently reside in is called Sunagakure and is one of the five Great Nations of the Elemental Countries. The other ones are Konohagakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure and Kumogakure. Each and every village has it's own military force, called Shinobi. But they aren't mere soldiers, no, they hold all the power in the village. From the leaders of the villages, the kage, and the council which consists exclusively of Shinobi, all the way down to the lowest ranking Genin, all of them hold so much more power than even the most influental civilian. Life in the villages for civilians is like the life of mice inside a cats home. Annother interesting detail about my village, Sunagakure, is that it is currently at war with the village Iwagakure, and they have been for almost a year now. The only good thing is that it is very unlikely that this will bloom into a third World War, or Third Great Ninja War, if you want to call it it's official name. Now to the even worse news for my situation. The resources are so sparse that every tiny bit is going to the male population, because apparently male Shinobi are much more efficient than female Kunoichi, and Sunagakure needs as many strong soldiers as possible at the front. That's also the reason why I've woken up in an alleyway. There is an orphanage, but they only take boys because of their stupid reasoning. That means that even at this moment there are little children sleeping outside in the cold without anyone to protect them. The thought alone made my blood boil. The only advantage girls have at the moment is that almost all are allowed access into the Ninja Academy without much trouble because „if they've been able to survive alone on the streets till they are 6, then they are worthy of our education". I'm just gonna skip why that is wrong on so many levels and get to the next point. WHY ARE THEY TEACHING CHILDREN HOW TO KILL. Children should be able to enjoy their childhood and play with dolls, not knives. But in this society it is even frowned upon to teach them just one year later.
I now know why I've been reincarnated. I've been reincarnated in order to change things. In order to right the wrongs which are being done to the woman and children. I will become powerful enough that I'll be able to free everyone of this curse, but I will not become an arrogant bitch or emotionless leader. Neither I will be a dog to order arround nor my people. I will be the mother everyone of these children need, I will be their pillar to support everything they want to achieve. I will become Urbosa.
