HIATUS

Five years had passed after I was born. It was a surreal experience, I mean being BORN!!! That thing is crazy. I was really happy that the first 2 years of my life were a blur, so small mercies I guess.

Anyway, I hit the reborn jackpot, my family was loaded. Being a millionaire in the 70s is very lucrative. That made me smile when I learned it. Apparently, grandpa was the owner of one of the leading mall chains in America.

My new mom and dad were good people. Dad would always be away on business trips. While my mom is a lawyer in a newly established firm in the City of Chicago. Both of them were busy people. It was weird having "new parents" but all I can do is accept it and hope that my "old parents" are still happy.

The one who takes care of me, during the day is Bernard, he is the head butler of the family. He's a good old man and he allows me to stay in the garden most of the time. Besides, I don't need anyone to watch over me, but I just can't tell them that this is my second life.

My grandparents were cool too. Especially, my grandmother, she is a delight. Every time she visits I get sweets (I like sweets, besides I'm a kid now). My grandfather on the other hand….He is a man that always means business. He has a rough exterior, rarely shows emotions, always stern and serious.

I was reborn on earth, which earth or what earth I didn't know, up until I was 3 years old. It was 'The American' Independence day. July 4, there was a documentary playing on TV, my family was hosting a small get together with our extended relatives, and friends. I decided to spend my time watching tv.

The documentary talks about the heroism of "Captain America" when he fought the Nazis.

What I learned, shock me and gave me the knowledge of where I was reborn. I was reborn in Marvel, which marvel I didn't know.

I was hoping I was reborn in MCU, not comics marvels. Cause fuck the comics, I could die from that, overpowered entities, I mean serious those guys are scary.

After learning that I was in a sort of marvel world, I needed to know if I had any powers, a golden finger, or a system. Anything that can make me have a fighting chance in this crazy world.

I mean in this world if you're smart enough you could make a very dangerous weapon. Heck, there was even a chance if you are traumatized enough that you could gain powers. So I needed to know. My answer came in a dream.

In my dream, I saw the slug, toad, and snake. They transformed into 3 different people. I immediately recognized those people, they were the 3 legendary sannins of Naruto world. The slug had the silhouette of Tsunade Senju, the snake became the genius Orochimaru, and lastly, the frog became the pervy sage Jiraiya.

The three of the animals gave me the knowledge of the 3 legendary sannins.

I gained a huge amount of knowledge, about ninjutsu, chakra, fuinjutsu, medical jutsu, nature chakra, genetics, biology, and many more. I also gained knowledge on how to extract information from someone who is unwilling to share his/her secrets, not going to lie that was nauseating at first.

It was at that moment I realized that this was my power, my fighting chance in this world. With Tsunade's  "yin seal", Orochimaru's seal mastery, and Jiraiya's sage mode knowledge. I had a chance to be a powerhouse in this world.

Just imagining my future self, punching hulk to submission made me excited. Heck with my "fuinjutsu" knowledge I could seal  "The Hulk" in Banner, virtually making him useless in battle.

Even with all this knowledge I learned from them, I still needed to fully understand them, that was a steady progress in itself. I started unlocking my chakra when I was 4 years old, it took me about an hour to unlock my chakra.

Which turns out, base on the knowledge of the 3 sannins, unlocking one's chakra within a day was already considered a prodigious talent. I unlocked mine within an hour, damn right I'm a PRODIGY!!

That feeling of having chakra flowing in my body for the very first time was intoxicating. I felt light, energize, and more powerful in general. It was a feeling I welcome wholeheartedly. For the last year, I had steady progress in my chakra control and digesting the knowledge of the 3 sannins.

I have been trying to stick leaves in my body. It's the only chakra control exercise that people won't see. Imagine seeing someone walking vertically on a big tree, that scream "I'm possessed", or something. No way I'm doing that. Right now I can stick 9 leaves in my chest for 12 hours straight without tiring myself with it.

I haven't tried doing any jutsu yet, considering I have a repertoire of jutsus available to me. I had been focusing on increasing and getting steady control on my chakra. I really wanted to try the infamous "Shadow Clone Jutsu", but sadly my chakra is still mid genin. Which in itself is impressive for a 5-year-old kid.

Naruto's infamous jutsu is classified as a "forbidden jutsu" after all. I did not want to damage my future potential just so I could do the signature technique of the main character.  Besides Naruto was an Uzumaki, a clan that has a huge amount of chakra in itself, add that with the nine tails he was literally a chakra power station on two legs.

"Slow and steady's wins the race" that's my motto.

One thing I found out about my powers is that 3 months after unlocking my chakra. In a dream, I found myself in a white space. Inside that white space, I saw the silhouette of Tsunade, she was showing the katas of Konoha. I know this because of the knowledge I receive from the three sannins.

The katas of Konoha, was their taijutsu. It was a basic form of their fighting style which you can change or improve as you grow older. Each of the sannins based this as the foundation of their fighting style which all of them improve upon, to form a fighting style that suits them.

This was the beginning of my taijutsu training. After two weeks of copying her in my dream, I wanted to fight her. I wanted to see how long I could last, hoping I could last a minute at least. So I charge at her to punch her, the moment my fist touch her, she vanished.  She eventually forms a couple of distance from me. I tried again but the same thing happens.

I realize that I can't fight anyone in my dream. She was only showing me how to fight and do the katas. If I wanted to have a spar I needed to do it in real life. So, I just resume copying her and proceeded to ingrained the fighting style.

This 2nd life of my mine has been very intriguing to me. Why was I reborn, why was I given powers?  Why me? Questions I have no clue of answering.

'Wow, questioning your very existence at the age of five, that's new,' I thought to myself. Whatever this life brings, I'm going to make use of it to the fullest.

"I'm the main character now," I said to myself.
