Hello: - 3

Here again, the shameless writer with another new story instead of updating his already posted ones. I'm sorry. I just don't have the motivation to write shit. I'll get back to them someday. Probably except for Tsunade's choice, every story I have posted here has something unique and something new that makes me want to give the proper attention to continuing them. But, alas life happens, and writer's block happens. I will write something for them soon. But, that's out of the way, please do give this story a chance.

As you can see, this is an OC-Si Main character reincarnated as another Oc. Entirely new character. Summary is a work in progress and the rating and character tags may change later on. Enjoy I guess.

''- Thinking

- First Person POV -

I was just a normal dude. I was just shy of reaching 18 years old. But, I already decided to end my life. I closed the laptop screen as I re-finished the last episode of Naruto Shippuden. My parents died in an accident a couple of months back. I didn't know how to feel about that. But I accepted that in my mind, and made peace with myself regarding their deaths.

I didn't have much to live for. Not enough money to go to College, as we are a working-class family. So I donated whatever remains to the charity. I didn't want to live a life of debt by taking loans, not that I think anyone would even give me one, considering there's no source of income or assets.

Honestly, I didn't even want to live in this world anymore. You have to be rich if you wanna avoid the back-breaking corporate office jobs. I don't have motivation to begin with.

I had a couple of past relationships. At least I wouldn't die a virgin. Not many regrets that I can name. That's why, I choose the quickest way to die. One last call to 911. A Gun, and a bullet to the head. I don't want my body to rot in the house after all.

Bang

I welcome the cool embrace of death. So…

…Why was I given a second chance? A different mother. I looked at her face, marveling at what seemed natural platinum blonde hair. She had the same color for her eyebrows.

She was making some funny faces at me. Like I'm some kind of baby.

Oh..I am a baby now.

I laughed humorlessly at that. She smiled, mistaking it for I was amused. I didn't correct her, it's not like I could either. I didn't even know what language they were speaking. Sounds kind of Japanese.

I didn't know shit other than Konnichiwa, Arigato and other normal words a weeb would be interested in.

By the end of the day, around a dozen people visited my now mother and me, half of them with different shades of blonde and some brown and one even with a hint of blue in their dark hair.

Am I in some sort of mixed-culture family? Like Japanese x European heritage? That's a first.

After, everyone left and the sunset came about. My now mother took us to another room. She settled me on the bed as she laid down beside me sideways. She started unhooking her gown and my mind suddenly screeched to a halt as I saw the pale breast with pink nipple dripping with milk droplets.

'uh oh. I can't avoid this now.' because I have been purposefully not thinking about it.

No matter who you are, you will always be curious about breasts. Be it an adult or child. Be it lustful or not. Well, as far as I know, it is just the latter case. I don't have the hormones to make this situation into something not exactly pure.

'And thank the stars for that.'

I thought to myself and my mother brought me closer to my food and I closed my eyes and started drinking like the starved child I was.

This is normal. Nothing wrong with it. This is just food.

I tried to justify myself for this. Like most guys out there, I'm also a boob man. But right now, I wish I didn't have that much fascination with that body part. Well, nothing to do now.

I closed my eyes as my mother gently patted me on the head. Well, I can get used to this.

'This is kinda soothing' I thought to myself as I dozed off.

—

It's been 3 weeks since my reincarnation, and life was kind of boring.

You can't do anything as a baby. You can't walk, talk, eat, shit, hell you can't even sleep like you wish. You could suffocate because you don't have any motor functions to move your limbs.

Well, at least. I have company most of the time. My mother is a kinda doting parent. Or is it because I'm just a baby? I shrugged. At least I tried to. I can't because you know, no proper control. And that's kinda annoying.

During this time, more people came to visit. Around 20 more. Some are repeated visits.

You know, this is kinda weird. From a random Google search, I know that Babies can see from around 4 to 6 months of age. But, I can see clearly from the day I was born, or is it the day after I was born? Anyway, even if I don't know the specifics, I know I'm doing something way too early. Is it because I'm an old soul? On that thought, do souls even age?

Meh, a thought for another time.

I looked at the spinning thing. You know the stuff people put above the baby cribs, with ribbons, and makes beautiful sounds when spun. Yeah, that one.

I can also hear the wind chime's beautiful sounds as a breeze passes through the open room as I slowly drift off to la la land.

6 months

It's been half a year since I woke up in this world.

Yes, world. A different one. Around when I was 4 months old. I happened to hear a peculiar word. Yamanaka. I am a Yamanaka clan member. This started my first obvious suspicion that I was in the Naruto world.

But I wasn't fully convinced. Because Kishimoto must have taken this word from an existing clan or family. And they just happened to have mixed heritage.

The next obvious clue is when a kid around the age of 13 came to talk with my mom. Something around the topic of the baby bath that the clan wants to do.

The thing that made me suspicious was his headband. Konoha ninja headband. Then again he could just be a kid going through the phase. Naruto ninja weeb phase. He even did the Naruto run.

At this point, I know I'm just stalling the inevitable crashout. I am hoping, really hoping for the most obvious conclusion. That is either encountering the existing characters or seeing someone do some ninja magic.

And how did I find the answer to my existential crisis? From my mother. Today, she came up to me and picked me up, telling me that she would introduce some playmates to me.

And just as she placed me down on a soft mat, she did some hand signs and slammed her right hand down. Subsequently, she was covered in a huge plume of smoke and as it was cleared, I was suddenly face to face with a bigger-than-normal cheetah.

'Holy mother of God! It's a summoning jutsu. I am fucked' and I promptly fainted and fell on my face. Worrying my mother as she hurriedly picked me up. Lest I suffocate.

—

An hour later, I was crawling around, trying to catch the little bastards. A couple of cheetah cubs. Cheetos. Yes, I dubbed them as Cheetos in my mind.

I was awakened by someone licking my face and when I opened my eyes, it was the little cubs that came along with their cheetah mother. I was also rewarded with another lick by the mother cheetah, Chile. And kissed by my mom on another cheek.

'I thought cheetahs were supposed to be some shy introverts. Doesn't look like that' I thought to myself as I watched the male cub headbutting a big ball towards me. Which I promptly threw towards the female cub. She mimicked her brother and passed it to him.

This is kinda fun. Who knew my mother had a summoning contract? I am lucked out, this means I have a powerful skill under my belt when I graduate.

I have no delusions about my future career. My only option is to become a Konoha shinobi, as is expected of a clan member. At least I think. This is the reason why I am so desperate to find out I'm not actually in the Naruto world. But, today confirmed my suspicions and left me with thoughts on how to properly plan.

Just because I choose to become a Shinobi, doesn't mean I always have to be on the field. I can always choose more administration work or be a part of a division that doesn't require me to go to the field. Like say, a barrier division or academy teacher. Even though I don't want to be part of them. It all depends on where I was exactly on the timeline.

Time to worry about that later.

I snuggled into the warm fluffy coat of the Cheetos and drifted off to sleep. Again...

—

Another week later, I was subjected to the first official clan ceremony. Baby bath. This is not the first time I bathed, mind you. My mother has been bathing me forever. No, this is just the clan bathing ceremony. Where the baby would be bathed and blessed by the oldest of the clan. At least that's what I understood from my mother. I don't know whether other clans do this or not.

My mother always talks to me. I don't know whether it is since it helps babies to understand and mimic the parents or she was just weird, but I kinda appreciate it. If she was speaking to me with actual baby talk, I would've gone insane.

Ah…if only I can just actually respond to her like an intelligent being. Instead of only using Mama and pointing out things to her.

Just as we entered the compound of a house, someone came outside to greet us. A tall Blonde-haired man with a long ponytail.

"Mama" I called out to her and pointed at the figure.

"Yes, Kin-chan, it's the clan head, Yamanaka Inoichi."

Yamanaka Inoichi greeted us. This must be the clan head house.

"Welcome, welcome Kaori-nee, and you too Kin. At least this time you were awake. Come on, everyone is waiting in the backyard." Oh, I must have been sleeping when he visited me. I always wondered about that.

And "nee"? Is my mom older than him? She must be, I shrugged my shoulders. And yes, I can do that now. Shrugging.

"How is Hanami? Last time I talked with her, she said that you two were trying for kids." Oh, must be Ino's mom. Wait, so Ino wasn't born yet?

He scratched his neck with a bit of red on his cheeks. Holy shit, the blush is visible!

"Well, I have been putting it off until I get promoted to the head of Intelligence, but I don't think I can since little Kin here is having his official baby bath already." He leaned down to play with my nose. I tried hard to hold my sneeze in, but instead directly blew it on his hand.

"Oh, oh, sorry Inoichi. He must have been very sensitive today." Inoichi shook his head at Mom's apology.

"Nah, don't worry, I should have been careful with that. Babies are unpredictable after all. Good thing, I hadn't picked him up, he would have peed on me. Hahaha." Both he and Mom shared a laugh as he used a minor water jutsu to wash off the gunk on his hand.

He smiled at me and ruffled my head. He must have seen my awestruck face at the use of water jutsu.

"When you grow up, you can also do these kinds of things with ease, little man." Wow, already presenting the sales pitch. And seeing as my mom didn't even blink, this must be quite common or expected of clan members. There goes my out for not becoming shinobi.

Just as I came out of musings, we had already reached the backyard and I was subjected to the stares and smiles of at least 100 people.

'Holy shit, how big is this backyard? And it's kinda embarrassing' obviously who wouldn't be embarrassed when 100 people are standing there ready to see you bath naked? Even if you're a baby.

I was passed around by the people who ruffled my hair, pinched my cheeks (lightly of course) and a couple of them even kissed me. Old grandma's, but that's beside the point.

And by the time my mother took me in her arms, the bath was already ready and I was stripped naked. I tried to cover my teeny weeny penny, but my hands were small and I wasn't supposed to have that much self-consciousness yet.

So, with a red face, I let my mother and other older women do the rest of the procedure.

The laughter and giggles did not help.

—

I took more time than I would be comfortable, but it is finally over. I was cleaned, dressed up, and now sitting on my mother's lap. She was talking with Inoichi's wife, Hanami.

"Mou…Kaori nee-san, just give me some help to deal with Inoichi. I want to have a baby of my own too! I don't understand why he doesn't want a kid now. It's been years since the 3rd war ended, and the village is relatively peaceful now. What could be a better time than now?" I rolled my eyes at Hanami. What with ladies always wanting a kid? Then again, she does have a point. This is the best time to have kids.

'Oh, shit. There's still the Kyuubi incident.'

"Well, it's probably, that Inoichi wanted to have a 2nd generation Ino-Shika-Cho along with Shikaku and Chosa. You should probably meet up with their wives and discuss it with them." Wow, that's smooth Mom. And before anymore discussion about baby making happen, they were interrupted by the man himself.

"Lunch will be ready in half an hour Ladies, so please wait until then." Inoichi came around to inform us and sat down beside his wife.

"So how's work treating you Inoichi? Anything interesting going on?" My mother started a conversation and I was listening raptly. This is a chance to gain some more info on the timeline.

Now, I know that the Kyuubi incident hasn't happened yet as Ino was canonically older than Naruto by a month. That means Minato is still the Hokage. My best guess is that I was probably a year or two older than the rookie 9.

"Well, nothing you wouldn't expect Nee-chan. But, there have been talks about Ibiki-kun's promotion as the next head for T I. But, it would still be a couple of years to make anything of it. The current head is still working on something according to the gossip mill."

"Hmm, you have been in the talks for the head of Intelligence and Ibiki forT , Shikaku for Jonin Commander. And before I retire, there are also talks about changing the hospital head, though the candidates are all very experienced." wait…she retired? How old was Mom and when did she retire?

"Stop it you two… talking about work in front of little Kin-chan," Hanami said as she picked me up and placed me in front of her, on her lap. I rolled my eyes to look at her. She has a similar facial structure to adult Ino. Her rich brown hair is tied up in a bun and she smells so..nice. "My…look how pretty his golden eyes are…must be from his father." Obviously. My mom's eyes are of different color after all. Wait. My father. I have been wondering about that. I haven't seen him till now. A whole 6 months. Either he was dead or a ninja who was captured. I tried to turn to look at my mom, to see her reaction.

But then Hanami started playing with my cheeks. Bouncing them, poking them, pinching them, and squishing them. It may be fascinating and entertaining to the adults, but that shit is not funny! It's getting annoying by now. I reached out to her face and did the same. If I pulled her cheeks, she might stop bothering mine.

But nope! She didn't stop. Instead, everyone laughed as both of us were playing with each other's faces now. Soon, it was time for Lunch and we were joined by everyone as my mom fed me the baby food. Hurray, I can finally eat now! Now if only I could just not vomit for the smallest things.

1 year after Baby bath.

I know when it comes to Naruto the timeline, especially before the Kyuubi attack, is spotty at best. Even more confusing when it comes to the canonical years.

But, now that I can see the actual date on the calendar, I can say that this world is still in the first century according to the calendar on the wall.

But that's beside the point. It's been around a year and a half since I was born. I even celebrated my birthday on Jan 15. Now it's June and it's been a month since Choji was born. And I remember that Ino and Shikamaru shared the same birth month, September.

I only know about Ino-Shika-Cho, Naruto, and Hinata's birth month. And Tenten is the oldest of the Konoha 13. No Idea about others. Oh, I know Sasuke is already a baby when Kushina is pregnant with Naruto. There are there's only at best 6 months before shit hits the fan. If I could just save Minato, the Hyuuga incident wouldn't have happened. The Uchiha massacre won't happen. So much shit can be avoidable.

But, I don't know how to reach out to him. Even then, how would a baby - toddler - even talk to the Fourth Hokage about politics? How can I justify it to him without raising the suspicions.

'All this thinking is just giving me a headache. Oh, and I am pretty sure my dad must be dead.'

I threw my rubber kunai at the playing target board in irritation. Coincidentally scoring a perfect hit. And here's another thing. The adults are already introducing the concept of throwing knives and weapons to literal toddlers! ( There are other toys like animals too )

I don't know how to feel about it. I can't exactly blame them all either, because they were all raised in such an environment, it's just natural for them at this point.

It would take entire generations to change these kinds of habits. At least this is not as fucked up as the Hyuuga's slave seal. Like who the fuck who do that? I don't think the concept of slavery even exists in the five nations.

But what do I know? I only know what was shown in the show. It probably only covered about 20 to 30 percent of the things of the entire Naruto world/continent, including fillers.

Do I want to become a Shinobi? Yes, it's not like I have a choice either without seriously having some sort of disease/handicap. But do I want to become a Shinobi till my 50s? Hell Nah. I would retire as early as around 30 to 35 of age. By then I would have already been having 20 years of experience which is roughly the same equivalent of work experience of a normal person before they retire in my old world.

I shook my head to remove all these thoughts about the future as my mother entered the room and summoned cheetah cubs. A different pair this time. She must have already talked with their mother since she didn't summon her.

My mother ruffled my hair as the playful cubs glomped on me.

—

Age - 1 year 8 months.

Month September.

It's time. Twenty where I could change something. Today is the second day after the birth of Ino. The clan heiress. Today is the day the Yamanaka clan members would visit the newborn baby. And if my guess is correct, Nara and Akimichi clan heads would be invited as well. As Shikaku and Choza are the best of Inoichi. No different than family, in principle.

Soon, I arrived at the Clan head's home. Along with my mother of course. And just as we entered the home, my mother put me down and washed out hands and feet. Good hygiene is always a better thing.

'Wow, do babies in this world always be born with hair?' I thought to myself as I saw the 2-day-old baby Ino with hair enough to be mistaken for a year-old baby. Was I born like that too? I know Naruto did.

'Oh, I almost forgot what the other purpose of this visit is.'

I looked around the room for Shikaku or Choza. There, sitting on the wooden Engawa/Veranda is Shikaku. Thankfully, he's not smoking. Just looking at the clouds in the sky.

I wiggled from my mom's lap and let her put me down. I crawled for some distance and slowly stood on my legs and started walking towards Shikaku. Just as I got near him, I tripped on my own feet and fell.

'ohh…how can I avoid this? If only some miracle of ninjutsu could help me freezepositionsition'

Nobody with some heart would ignore a baby falling on their face. And since it's one year old, no one would question the tripping on his own feet, since babies can't walk properly.

Shikaku didn't even glance at me as I was frozen in place. Talk about shinobi instinct and sensory capabilities.

"You should be careful while doing these kinds of things. You could get hurt." He gently said as he scooped me up and handed me to my mom.

"Ara Shikaku-san, sorry, sorry. Normally he would be walking on his own just fine. Sorry to bother you." I would since I have been walking fine since I turned 1 year old. Shikaku just shook his head. Poor old man didn't even know that he was getting tricked by a baby.

"No problem, Kids are unpredictable after all, and I did get a mini-me after all. I think of it as just some practice to deal with future problems." Exactly just as I predicted, he didn't even blink at my master manipulation. I laughed, but they came out more like giggles.

"I heard about little Shikamaru-chan, maybe we should pay your family a visit." Wow, my mom's subtleness is smooth, just like always. I should pick that up from her, I was never one for politeness in my old life. Even Shikaku smiled a bit at that.

"Why don't you and little tyke here visit us tomorrow morning? 10 AM should be fine if it's okay with you."

"Thank you for taking out your time for us. We will visit Nara's home, tomorrow then." She gave a little head bow which was returned.

So, I can have more time with Shikaku tomorrow? That's an even better chance. I just have to wait until tomorrow. I can even see baby Shikamaru then.

—

Nara clan is located somewhat along the outer side of the main road. Think of it like this, there's a direct and straight path leading from the main entrance of the village to the Hokage tower and the Hokage mountain subsequently.

Yamanaka, Akimichi and the Nara clans were on the one side of the road and somewhat closer to the Hokage mountain compared to the village gate. Nara is behind the Yamanaka and Akimichi situated towards the wall while the latter two are situated near the town square.

All of this is to say that, the Nara clan were surrounded by tall trees and grass and had their mini forest containing the smaller enclosure of their deer in the estate itself.

Which is exactly my kind of thing. Surrounded by nature, little canals, deer, and a peaceful breeze? Fuck I would look at the beautiful clouds all day too. I hugged the ball that my mom gave me to keep quiet to my chest and enjoyed the breeze.

I would have to make friends with Shikamaru to enjoy this place regularly without them kicking me out.

Shikaku was already by the entrance of the clan when we reached there, leading us to the clan head house situated in the heart of the clan.

As we entered the home we did the same practice to clean your hands and knees that we had done in the Yamanaka clan head's home.

You know I expected to see baby Shikamaru's head to have a spiky ponytail. But I was equally disappointed and relieved to see him only having small tufts of black hair.

Seriously, Naruto has a whole head of hair as a one-day-old baby. You can never be too sure.

But that you decide a point, I sat with Shikaku outside as my mom and Nara Yoshino were talking inside.

"How did you do that?" I asked Shikaku as I mimicked falling like yesterday. He had an amused smirk on his face as watched my antics.

"What, this?" He asked as he effortlessly bound me with his shadow. I looked down at the shadow amazed. I didn't even feel anything!

I just nodded while looking at him with wide eyes. He smiled and ruffled my hair while undoing his jutsu.

"That was just my clan's special jutsu. It lets me stop anyone from moving." I don't even know why he's explaining this to a one-year-old baby. But, I don't care. This is where I wanted this conversation to go.

"My…my Mama, has this big Cat!" I looked at him with a child-like excitement on my face. "Can u stwaap that soo?"

"Oh you mean the cheetah summons. Sure, I can. I am stronger than your mom's cat." He boasted playfully. Honestly, I'm not that surprised, since my mom used to be a Shinobi, I'm sure that Shikaku would know. Especially considering that she's part of his best friend's clan. And he's an upcoming candidate for Jonin Commander to boot.

"What..what eff.. it's a big..biiiggg cat.. like the that biihg eike a mountein." shit, this is annoying. I can't wait for the day when I can speak without any twisting. I would scream in happiness.

"Big like a Mountain? Probably not. But, I guess I can stop that with the help of other clan members" Yes! That is exactly what I wanted to hear! One strategy is out of the way. The final one is now.

"I...I smash the bad cat." I picked up my ball and stumbled lightly. "I smash the ball and turn big too."

"Oh, that's a good strategy too." He clapped his hands encouragingly. You're so smart Kin-chan, you'll be a strong shinobi." While he did seem like he was humoring a one-and-a-half-year-old baby, there's a speculativeness in his tone. He must be thinking about this strategy.

I puffed up my chest at him proudly. That's the final strategy I could come up with, with the limited time, resources, and complications of my existence.

I remember watching it. During the 4th war, Choza and Choji managed to become giant enough to match the size of the Gedo Mazo which has 7 bijuu chakra. I think they were around 50 meters in height. Now, even if the Kyuubi is at 100%, and is around 100 meters, there should be at least a couple of Akimichi who can transform into a giant and stall it. And Shikaku could recreate the scene of restricting a bijuu by combining the shadows and chakra of multiple dozens of Naras just like in the 4th war.

I know these two weren't probably any sort of effective methods to defeat/restrain the Kyuubi. But, they would be just enough to stall the beast for at least, I hope, 30 seconds. By then, Minato would be returning to the battlefield earlier than the cannon.

This would be a massive difference because, in canon, Minato just arrived as Kyuubi was already firing a bijuudama. Which caused the most destruction without even going off, reducing the building in its path by sheer force and pressure.

(A/N: Go watch the fight. Minato vs Kyuubi. See the scene of Kyuubi throwing the bijuudama at Minato.)

I also hope that Minato is not dumb enough to stand entirely on the other side of the village when facing Kyuubi. Instead, I hope he will teleport near the damn beast and take it away. This way, there should at least be massively less property damage. I honestly don't know if there were any people in the path of Bijuudama.

I shook my head as I snuggled in my mother's arms as she was carrying me back home. I did my part in pointing out the possibility of stalling the beast to one of the smartest men in the village. Because, in canon, Nara and Akimichi did not contribute to stalling Kyuubi much, while having the jutsu to do so. In this timeline, I hope they do.

I can only hope Shikaku will live up to my expectations.

—

It has been a month since then. That means there's only around 1 week for the Kyuubi attack to happen. Obito you son of a bitch, I will enjoy torturing you to hell if I get my hands on you.

I look up at the sky from my room. The clouds bloomed. It was about to rain. I hope everything goes well.

A/N: How was the chapter/prologue guys? Share your thoughts in the comments! I know OC and SI fics don't receive much attention from the readers and that includes me too. But, I believe you'd come to like this MC, Kin. He's just a chill guy.

Name: Yamanaka Kin.

Appearance: Platinum Blond Hair(almost white/silver) and Bright Golden Eyes.

Is at least one year older than the oldest Rookie 9.

Oops, I had to correct somethings in this chapter. I swapped Ino's and Shikamaru's birth date. So Ino is now older than him, then again they share the same month. It's not gonna change much.
