Summary:
Daisuke Uchiha, or so he is called now, is an aspiring shinobi who just so happened to have been reincarnated from Earth and has some foreknowledge about some major events. How will he survive a world filled to the brim with hatred, murder and death? Let's find out.
Notes:
This story is about a SI-OC that I've created loosely based on myself. It will not be a retelling of Naruto but it is also not a fix-it. Since this is my first time writing a story, expect some cringe or plain bad storytelling, but I'll try my best.
I was inspired after reading a lot of Naruto fanfiction and I particularly liked SI-OC, especially Vapors, Hear the Silence and Iryo-nin Kasa. (shout out to Vaengir, EmptySurface, and Electrasev5n). Don't expect as much angst as those at first, at least, since I don't really know how to write it (yet).
You are very very welcome to give me tips for this story and feel free to comment telling me if something was weird, too fast, too slow, etc.
I will probably not make romance a primary part of the story maybe until later, because as a newbie writer I'm not so experienced in that, and also making a romance between a fictional character and another fictional character that is based on me sounds a bit cringe, but we will see. There may be SOME romance eventually, but nothing under-aged since that's fucked up and weird to write about.
I will upload this on Archiveofourown and , under the same username on each account (crazyhamburger)
Chapter 1:
I don't actually know how I died. Maybe I was hit by a truck? Maybe I was murdered? Or maybe it was nothing so dramatic and I just passed in my sleep? Regardless of how I died, I am dead.
I don't need to talk about my life before I died, though it was very average. I went to school, graduated, had friends, a brother, all of that stuff. All that matters is that I'm here…
Where? I don't know, or more like I didn't know at the time. For a while after I died, everything was blank. I didn't think, I didn't see, I could only feel. I felt warmth, like something was wrapped around me. That's all I could feel for what felt like another lifetime, and yet flashed in the blink of an eye. What was a peaceful yet unfeeling void of nothingness quickly turned into bright lights, muffled sound, cold sensations.
That was how I was born, utterly confused, in pain and a hell of a lot of sensory overload. Who knew that being born sucked so bad? I guess it makes sense why all babies cry upon birth - the new-me included. I cried and cried and cried, I mean, who wouldn't cry after feeling giant, scary hands hauling you around right after your entire world changes in a blink of an eye. I couldn't process anything - I couldn't even remember my past life at the time, as you'd expect from a newborn's brain.
It took me 1 year to fully regain my memories, and during this time, I learned about what was going on around me. As memories slowly trickled into my developing brain, I found out about a few things. First of all, the fact that I was an infant again. I'd registered that I'd been reincarnated. I may not have fully recovered my memories at the time, but I did deduce that I had a past life. It wasn't just memories that came in - the wisdom and knowledge from my past life also came to me. I found out that everybody was speaking Japanese for some reason.
At first I thought that I'd been reborn in Japan. It would make sense, right? If I'd been reincarnated, it's not totally out of the norm that I could have reincarnated as a Japanese kid. There are only so many places in the world. Speaking of Japanese, I found out that my name is Daisuke, which further supported my theory.
Speaking of which, I also got to know my mom and my dad, or I suppose my kaa-san and my tou-san, since I want to differentiate my parents from Earth and my parents from here. Kaa-san, who's name turned out to be Hazuki, as I'd heard from my dad, was a kind-hearted and nurturing woman, similar to my mother on Earth. She had straight black hair and eyes as black as a void, though this void seemed to never swallow the light in her eyes. While I stopped crying as much as I used to since regaining my memories, she always comforted me with a smooth, warm voice. She is not just kind, but also very bright. A bit air-headed too. My mom on Earth was a bit like that as well.
Tou-san's name is Kichiro. He has curly brown hair and blue eyes. He, much like my kaa-san, is also kind and gentle. And they say opposites attract! I highly doubt that saying considering how similar my new parents were. Tou-san is just as kind as kaa-san, though I suppose he is more distant at times to give my mother more of a chance to coddle me. Though I miss my old parents, I've already decided that I love my new parents.
Interestingly, they both looked rather young. They look like they are barely adults, around the age group of 18 to 20. They must have had me early.
I was born with similar features to both of my parents. I retained kaa-san's black hair, but instead of it being straight, I had curly and messy hair from tou-san. My eye color was the same as tou-san's - blue like the sky. My features seemed a bit rare to me.
"Daisuke-chan!" A voice said lovingly, drawing my attention from the wall I'd been absent-mindedly staring at.
It was a normal day. I'd been woken up and had breakfast and I was currently sat on the floor playing, as a kid should
"Wha-, Kaa-chan?" I called back, trying to get used to this body's clumsy motor functions. I may be a year old with 19 years of memories, but this body was hard to move, damn it!
I looked up at her expectantly, peering at her face and into her jet black eyes.
"You look bored, Daisuke-chan! Do you wanna go out?" she asked in a loving manner, "We can go anywhere together! Just mother and son!" she added, widening her grin.
I'm not really bored, but I'm not gonna turn down an offer to go somewhere with kaa-san. "Park?", I asked, still trying to remember the newly-learned Japanese word. "Tou-chan?"
"Great idea, sweetie!", kaa-san beamed at me, lifting me into her arms with ease before she started dressing me so we could go to the park. It's still kind of weird to be hauled around like this, but less work for me, right? "Tou-chan can't come with us today, he's still at work." She frowned a little before smiling again. "You can see him at dinner and talk all about our day when he's home!", she said, attempting to console me. Kaa-san is so nice.
We got outside and as we walked to the park, kaa-san was giving me a talk about how to be safe and to be nice to other kids. I mostly tuned this out. I already know, okay! I can behave just fine, thank you very much!
We eventually reached the park. "Kaa-chan! I play! Bye!" I said, waving clumsily at her before crawling as fast as I could to the playground. I went to the sandpit to indulge all of my childhood whims. Ah, I'd almost forgotten how it's like to be a kid. I still considered myself an overgrown child at age 19, especially considering I was still studying off of my parents' money. The only thing stopping me from acting genuinely childish was the fact that it was a bit embarrassing to climb around a playground in public. I used to climb on those spider web thingies even as a teenager, so long as nobody was looking, except maybe my friends or family.
Time flew quickly and I spent my time building sand castles, which were just piles of sand. I also crawled around the playground and just enjoyed the day and the bright sun. Being a child again was a bit frustrating, yet it is very nice to not have a care in the world, though I do sometimes feel bad about being a burden on my parents.
As the sun was falling, kaa-san called me back with a gentle smile. "Daisuke-chan! We need to go home soon or tou-chan won't have any dinner to eat!" I looked up at her dumbly before crawling to her, "Okay!" I shouted before being picked up.
As we were getting ready to leave the playground, someone unfamiliar approached us with a smile on her face. "Uchiha-san. It's nice to see you at the park. Is that your son?", she questioned, giving me a curious look.
My eyes widened. Uchiha-san? What an unusual name. It's just like the clan from Naruto, an anime I'd watched as a kid and loved ever since. I quickly calmed down, though. A strange name, sure, but surely our name is just Uchiha. I mean, kaa-san may have looked a little bit like how an Uchiha might look, with her black hair and black eyes, but tou-san has brown hair and blue eyes. As far as I knew, the Uchiha rarely had children with outsiders, so it was unlikely that I was in Naruto or something crazy like that…
"Ah, Natsuki-san!" she greeted, grinning at her. "Yes, this is my son, Daisuke! He's just so cute, isn't he?" she responded, catching up to this Natsuki-san.
It turns out that Natsuki-san, or Natsuki Fubuki is the landlord for the apartment we live in.
"...Well, Natsuki-san, it was nice to see you again after so long! Would you like to join us for dinner?" kaa-san asked, sending Natsuki-san a pleading look. "I would love to join you for dinner, but I am busy this evening. Perhaps another time?" she responded, looking slightly guilty. "Of course! Come anytime!" kaa-san responded.
I wasn't sure if it was kaa-san being her usual self or if she was being kind toward Natsuki-san because she was our landlord.
"I will have to take you up on that sometime soon, Uchiha-san. I haven't seen Toyama-san in a long time. Well, I must get going. See you soon." Natsuki-san finished, waving as she walked away. "Come on, use your manners, Daisuke-chan!" kaa-san whispered to me, before I snapped to attention and nodded before waving at Natsuki-san with kaa-san. "Goodbye!" we both said, waving her away. She seems like a nice lady.
Afterwards, kaa-san and I stopped by the market to find the ingredients that kaa-san would need to make dinner. I noticed that while I have reincarnated in Japan, it looks like I was reincarnated into the past? There was still electricity and television, but I saw no sign of a telephone, cellphone, flat screen, computer, or anything past the technology of the 70's. At least there IS electricity… As we entered a part of the market that I hadn't seen before, kaa-san pointed up to the bright horizon.
"Look, Daisuke-chan!" she cheered, sounding very excited.
I looked up to where she was pointing, blinded slightly by the light shining in my eyes from the sun on the horizon. There I saw it. A monument that looked kind of like Mount Rushmore. 3 faces were planted on it. "Whas' dat?" I asked kaa-san, since I really didn't know what it was. Did Japan have a monument like this?
"Daisuke-chan, that's the Hokage monument! It shows the faces of the Hokage of Konohagakure!" she exclaimed.
The Hokage monument? Konohagakure? I'm… actually in the Naruto world?
"Huh?" I said confusedly, my facial expression frozen in shock.
This was the first chapter, it took me about 2 hours to write and 1 hour to research some initial data. Much more time consuming than I thought it would be… looks like i'm running on 5 hours of sleep tomorrow. Hope you all enjoyed it! I tried to make it similar to the fanfiction I've read before. If you have any criticisms, questions, or concerns, feel free to comment.
By the way, there won't be a set upload schedule. I am in an international school and exams are coming up, and even after I graduate I will be moving and later attending university. I will try to update, and I will also try not to lose motivation, especially with all of the work I've done to set up the basic events leading up to Naruto's birth. There will be plenty of divergences and I will try to keep it somewhat realistic to Naruto, so no, a random kid will not be able to stop the Nine-tails attack… This will not be a fix-it and Daisuke will not be Jesus-kun.
