Chapter 1: The Chosen One
Saikō, unlike most children was a orphan child. Although his parents did love him, they were mere chuunin who died in the battlefields to a rogue jounin shinobi. His hair was brown and he had hazel eyes. His frame was weak and his body scrawny compared to even below average kids.
Saikō was unpopular amongst the orphan children as well. They'd take advantage of his frailness and pick on him, beating him and using him as a punching bag for their own enjoyment.
Although most kids did want to help and stand up for Saikō, the gang of older boys had already intimidated the orphans as a whole. Saiko, who had turned 16 today would have to endlessly suffer to this violence by the hands of three delinquent 17 year old boys.
"We heard your birthday was today so we decided it would be a good idea to give you some birthday licks!" One of the three boys would say as he punched Saikō in the gut for the last time as he lands the 16th blow.
This blow was just as powerful as the other 15 that he had dealt to Saikō while another boy held him down. He would let him go as Saikō collapsed to the floor, passing out from the amount of damage he had received. The boys walked away chuckling as they left him there and nobody bothering to help him.
(Mind Space)
"You are terribly weak..."
A voice said that Saikō could hear from every side. Saikō stood up weakly as he looked around amongst the endless darkness. Although Saikō couldn't see, he felt as if someone was smiling viciously at him.
"This is the first time this has happened but I am very glad...I somehow returned to the past but as the consciousness of my younger self...this means I'm in a parallel universe!"
The voice would exclaim with excitement although Saikō was still confused.
"What are you saying?" Saikō questioned with a weak and trembly voice.
"Tch...You'll understand later on as you grow your power...but right now you are too weak to become a proper vessel of this power. Originally we found it by chance...but now it will be handed down to you!!! "
The voice said once again with intensity.
"W-We..?" Saikō questioned with a stutter of slight shock and confusion as the dark and empty mind space transformed into a boing gym with punching bags, different equipments and the standard ring in the middle.
Unexpectedly a person would exit the gym office. This mysterious man wore a dark blue karate gi, black training gauntlets, brown sandals and wears prayer beads around his neck. To top it off, the man wore a Oni mask to hide his face but his hair was dark red.
"As I said, You'll understand once you become stronger. As it seems outside of your body, it has been 3 hours and nobody has decided to come to your aid so we will use this time to get you strong enough within a few hours. It's currently...7, by the time it's 12 you should be able to receive the power."
The man would begin to explain. Wasting no time, 5 pound wrist and ankle bracelets would spawn on Saikō along with a 10 pound weighed vest. What Saikō didn't know was that unlike in the real world, when you have manifested a complete mind space, you can train within the space and gain 10x the normal results expected without fatigue either.
The only problem is, in order to have a mind space you have to have highly advanced knowledge of how the soul works or be a vessel to multiple souls which is extremely rare. So due to this revelation, he would be able to achieve immaculate results over night.
The man had Saikō run a mile over and over again with no break for a hour. No matter how much his legs started hurting, they never fatigued or got tired. Just off this alone, the weights on him expanded automatically to 15 pound wrist and ankle bracelets and 30 pound weighted vest.
Next Saikō had to do 1,000 push-ups, situps and squats which lasted him about 2 hours but within those 2 hours the weights would have expanded to 50 pounds on each wrist and ankle and 100 pounds weighted vest. Even Saikō was impressed by the speed of his results and even smiled as he wanted to do this more.
"What's next" Saikō would ask.
"Now you're sounding more confident" The man would applause as he quickly recognized that Saikō's whole demeanor would have changed as well. This boy who used to be shaky and nervous all the time now had a strong frame, well toned and confident.
"Now for this last hour I will help you unlock your chakra and learn your chakra natures. Then we will spar until you are able to land a hit on me. Once you land a hit, you will be ready to receive the power!" The man would explain to Saikō, who was very excited to become strong.
He was tired of being bullied, looked down on and shamed for being weak.
"I can see the fire in your eyes...and I understand. Now sit down in a meditation while you unlock your chakra." The man would command.
As Saikō sat down and meditated, the man would form a two finger seal with his hand and then slam it into the abdomen of Saikō while also twisting it on impact. This sent Saikō flying into a punching bag and then dropping to the floor but although this surprised him, he didn't feel injured...he actually felt much more stronger!
As he stood up, he'd look at his hands as chakra overflowed within him and even steamed off him like aura.
'Was I this amazing at that age or is it because I'm in a parallel universe?' The man would ponder to himself as not only did this Saikō have Jounin level chakra reserves but also a super strong affinity for fire, water, wind, lightning and earth and already showing decent control over his chakra.
"Congratulations, You have a strong affinity for every element." The man said least enthusiasm than last time but still genuine praise nonetheless. Suddenly, a crate of weapons appeared in front of Saikō.
"Now, We Fight!"
The man said as without grabbing the ropes, he jumped into the ring, landing strongly in a fighting stance. Saikō on the other hand would kick the box of crates to the side as he realized the weights vanished off of him. He cracked his neck and knuckles while walking towards the man.
"You think I need weapons to beat your sorry ass?"
