Reincarnation – Naruto

Sam glanced around the void and sighed for the nth time. As per the rules, he could not know the number of times he had already reincarnated or how he had fared in those lives. All he knew was which world he was going into.

Sighing again, he spoke to no one in particular, “I want Haki from One Piece and my body should have all chakra nature affinities, be adaptable to all cells like White Zetsu, and be compatible with nature energy.” As you all have already guessed, he was headed toward the Naruto world.

He sighed again. If possible, he would have directly asked for the Rinnegan and be done with it. But his second wish was restrictive in this way. Sam started to feel a tug at his soul and surrendered to it.

Opening my eyes hurt. Everything was small, and I stared at a masked man with Sharingan eyes.

‘Fuck! Worst timing.’ I sighed again.

I was hoping to avoid all these things. Even in my new life, I am going to be orphaned. What bad luck. But what can I do? So I did the only thing babies did. I peed. I wanted to punch him, but this was the best I could do. This made Obito drop me in disgust. Apparently, killing is fine with ninjas, but they can’t handle baby pee. But this gave the Fourth an opportunity, and it was all he needed. He instantly teleported me away somewhere I couldn’t recognize.

Well, at least I was not wrapped in paper bombs so that counted for something, right? I started waiting, but I didn’t have to wait long. It seems it didn’t count for anything. The Nine-Tails was still free, and my parents were still going to die.

But something different happened. Instead of my father sealing half of the Nine-Tails inside himself, he started doing the ritual for the Eight Trigram seal. This confused me. But then I remembered, he was not late in his fight with Obito. Since I had no paper bombs on me, my old man only needed to ensure my safety, and he still had enough chakra left to make sure that Mom was not wounded too badly. Well, at least Kushina survived. Don’t worry, Minato, I will take care of your wife for you.

The Nine-Tails tried attacking, but Kushina countered it. Let me tell you something, sealing that much chakra hurt like hell. After the sealing was complete, Kushina sealed the other half of the Nine-Tails inside her, and the event was over.

After a few days, we attended the funeral for everyone who died in the attack. I could not bring myself to call Kushina "mom" since seeing her gave me a mental hard-on. Oh, I was going to try my best to conquer this beauty. But in the meantime, I had to make sure my cover wasn’t blown.

Things went a little differently than I expected in the next few days. The old monkey and the bandaged cunt both tried to get Kushina to remarry, but she created a huge ruckus, going as far as threatening the village with another Kyubi attack. This had the expected outcome of us being called demon fox and its spawn. But I didn’t take it to heart. I knew the people who should know knew, and the rest were gullible little sheep who clung to the social gossip and did not think on their own.

I had seen Kushina many times crying at the loss of her husband, her village, and the treatment we were getting. If not for her agreement with Mito, she would have long left Konoha, consequences be damned. But she was a good mother, and I had no complaints.

Three Years Later

Today was my third birthday, and I was really excited. I finally got the system along with the notifications that my Haki was now usable. Why did I get my powers at three? Was it a ninja thing, or was this standard? I mean, who decides these things? I was not going to dwell on these things.

“Sochi, where are you?” Kushina yelled, getting excited.

“Here, Mom,” I yelled back. Sometimes I think this woman has too much energy.

“Sochi, I bought a chakra paper. Let’s test your chakra affinities.”

“Why do you think that I would have multiple affinities, Mom?” The truth is, although my system cannot help me directly, it has a huge supporting role. One of them was hiding my powers from even the Otsutsuki.

“You are Minato and my son. And even if you did not have multiple affinities, I would still be proud of you.”

The result was as expected. The paper split in half. I was not going to take any chances. I knew that an old monkey and the bandaged cunt were keeping an eye on me.

In the night, I started to check my system. I found out that I had 1000 gold. How laughable. I thought that maybe changing events would give my system points. But it seems to remove any hope of upgrading the system, except for the personal settings, the only thing available was the shop.

But everything in the shop was locked except for five e-rank techniques and Kenbunshoku. I did not buy any of those things as Kushina promised to teach me e-rank jutsu, and I already knew the Kenbunshoku training method. And all the system sold was the training method.

I put on the blindfold, the earplugs, and a clothespin on my nose. I know this was extreme, but if possible, I wanted to cut all my senses. I can’t run around asking people to hit me while I am blindfolded. Some might actually take me up on the offer. So I decided on this method. I was hoping one of two things might happen. Either I start to feel the presence of other people, or I might get an audience with the Nine-Tails.

After hours of trying, a third thing happened. I started to sense a huge chakra in the house. I was pleasantly surprised by this development. Although I didn’t achieve what I wanted initially, this was still perfect. After a few seconds, I felt dizzy and went to sleep.

In the morning, I told Kushina about sensing a huge evil chakra and got a crash course on history. She warned me not to tell anyone about my chakra sensing.

In the night, I started practicing again. This time I disabled my chakra. The system really was convenient. And months passed.

I can’t believe it took me six months just to get to sensing presence with Haki. I was still nowhere near sensing intent. Tonight I was going to try to talk to Kyubi.

At night.

“Why did you come here, brat?” A coarse voice called out.

“Kurama, I came to bargain!” I’ve always wanted to say that.

A huge bang was made at the cage.

“No, you have come to die. Huh, wait, wrong line. Brat, how do you know that name?”

“I know many things. If you allow me to access my chakra freely, I can tell you many things.”

“Why don’t you come in? I will remove my chakra from your pathways,” said Kurama with a sinister smile.

“No thanks. I am not a moron like the Fourth.”

“Hahaha, calling your own father a moron, wh…”

“What else to call someone who sacrificed his life for this shitty village? He even died at the hands of his own student.” I interrupted the fox. By now, I could tell that I had its full attention. Now it needed to decide if I was bullshitting or if I really knew things.

“What do you want?”

“I want you to allow me to access my chakra freely and gradually interfere to increase my chakra control. If possible, I want to release you, but I am in no hurry to die. Although I think that tailed beasts should not be caged simply for existing, my opinion does not matter. The best I can promise is that when I get the key, I will open the seal if you promise not to go on a rampage.”

“And what makes you think that I will trust you?”

“My actions.” We both stared at each other for minutes.

“Fine. Now leave me alone.” And I was out of my mindscape.

I was glad that the meeting went well. I was having trouble performing different jutsu even with the chakra control method. Now hopefully I will get some reprieve.
