Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth
Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth
Haah. Not sleeping for three days straight and working continuously is not good. Why is it not good, you ask? Because I can see myself on the desk, lying dead. Ohh! everything is getting smaller and smaller. Am I leaving this world? this plane of existence? Damn. Why couldn't I die a day or two later? I was this close to completing it. OK. I know I was saying those same words for the past month but I swear I was really completing it.
My own A.I. An actual A.I that has the capability to learn, understand, comprehend, and analyze data like a human and a computer combined. Not the cheap imitation like Chatgpt or something. Then, install it into a robot, and Voila! I can have a perfect servant to do all my chores.
But, it would've gone Skynet on me if I was not careful. And we don't want that. Which is why I'd been doing all that hard work for the past year. But now I'm dead. Let's hope there are computers in Heaven or Hell or wherever I'm going so that I can complete my work.
Alright, now where exactly am I? Now all I can see are some stars… Oh, they're gone too. Now everything is black.
And I waited. For how long? I fuc- freaking don't know.
[A/N: God knows how Senku was able to count for that long. It still wouldn't even work. Assuming his mind's thinking speed didn't change for 3700 years, and with an error of 0.0001 per second even then, the numbers would be wayyy off]
After what felt like a long time, I saw a small light that slowly kept getting bigger and bigger. Once I reached somewhat near, the light was no longer a light but looked like a humanoid form.
"Is that God I'm seeing?"
"Yes, though some call me an Omnipotent Being or a ROB" The humanoid form turned towards me and slowly kept getting smaller until it was the size of a human and looked like, "Dennis Haysbert!"
"I just took a form suitable to talk to you from your memory." The self-proclaimed ROB said.
"Oh. So, what's the judgment?" I asked wondering what memories he'd seen.
He mused for a moment before saying, "I'd say nothing special. Your life was normal. Though your last task was interesting."
"Thanks. So, are there any computers in hell or heaven?"
"And why do you think you are going to any of those places?"
"I'm not?"
"No. You're not. I've decided. You're being reincarnated. And No! You don't get to decide where because it's already been decided where you're going."
"Can I at least know where I'm being reincarnated? And do I get any perks or something like that?"
"You're going to a Naruto AU and it's a fanfiction universe. Your soul will merge with Sasuke's soul sometime after the Uchiha Massacre. So not exactly a reincarnation. And no perks, gifts, boons, or wishes. Take it or leave it" ROB said with indifference.
"Nothing else? Would I get his memories?"
"Oh! Definitely. Your soul and his soul are going to merge. I do need you to be emotionally connected to that life. After all, it wouldn't be fun without it."
"For real? Give me something. For all I know, I might turn insane if I experience what Sasuke had." I tried bargaining as a last attempt.
"Like I already said, No! You know what, you want something, you have to earn it. If you become the strongest being out there, you'll receive a small boon from me. How's that? And I'll send you to a modern world as you wished before." ROB said providing his counteroffer.
OK. I guess this ROB probably wants me to do all types of shit and get stronger just for his entertainment. Damn! Why couldn't I get a nice beautiful Goddess to give me powers and reincarnate me in a no-risk world?
"Haah. I guess this is the best deal I can get. Alright, I accept. If there isn't anything, at least wish me some good luck."
"No there isn't- wait in case you were wondering all that Boruto & Otsutsuki shit is real. Good Luck. Bye Bye." He said with a devious smile on his face.
"Wha-" before the soul could respond, it was teleported away to the Elemental Nations.
"Oh Shit! I've been scammed. I didn't watch Boruto but I knew some info because of reading some fanfiction. Then the strongest being is not Kaguya or Madara, but rather "Shibai Otsutsuki, the God of Otsutsukis who ate chakra fruits of thousands of worlds and became a 'True God' or whatever. This just turned from 'Normal' difficulty to 'Absolute Hardcore' difficulty. Let's hope I get to make my A.I. in that world. I don't think it's possible to become the strongest without defeating Shibai and taking his place."
And suddenly he felt being sucked in somewhere.

****One month after Uchiha Massacre****
3rd POV
Sasuke had worked a bit too much. It has been exactly a month since the tragedy happened. But Sasuke, whether as a means of coping mechanism or as to not reduce the anger, came daily to this place. Where he learned Shuriken Techniques from his brother- no from Itachi. Like every day, he practiced until his stamina was exhausted.
He felt no progress today. In fact, he could not progress much in the past month. His mind was clouded by anger, distress, sorrow, and confusion. Confusion on why this happened to him.
'Why! Why! Why!'
"Raah!!" He shouted and stopped the flow of thoughts. Sasuke couldn't understand what he was doing wrong. Even after doing this much, no visible progress was made.
Giving up, he went home tired and fully exhausted. He didn't even have the energy to cook. Maybe he should've accepted Lord Third's suggestion to get a housemaid. Instead, his stupid Uchiha pride got ahead of him and he declined. For now, all his assets as an Uchiha are actually under Third Hokage's name as he was the current guardian of Sasuke. They would later be transferred to him after he becomes an adult or in Ninja's terms, when he becomes a Genin.
The 8-year-old boy fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. Sasuke was already tired from training that night. His chakra reserves were already depleted and he had very less stamina. In sleep, his dreams slowly morphed into that day of the massacre. His psyche was still not fixed. The nightmare continued for hours and he was expressing the same anguish as on the night of the massacre.
His completely exhausted body with its little chakra flowed through his brain to his eyes and changed to a 3- tomoe sharingan. { It should be noted that at the time of the massacre, he had awakened a 2 tomoe Sharingan already. }
Because of the nightmare, his mind and body didn't have enough rest. The nightmare didn't stop nor did he wake up from that sleep. Under these conditions, full of sorrow, his 3-tomoe sharingan was changing to a Mangekyou. But, before, it could go through complete change, the chakra within him was completely depleted. Any remnants of chakra left within him down to the last drop was completely exhausted.
And Sasuke died.
At least that's what should have happened if none intervened.
Hagoromo was watching the child's suffering and decided to intervene. Hagoromo has watched over 30 reincarnations of his children. Ashura and Indra's reincarnations always fought each other. Which always resulted in the death of both his sons.
Even though it is called reincarnation, it actually was not. It was just that the soul shards of Ashura and Indra latched on to their next generations' most talented children and influenced those children's ideologies into their own. [A/N: This is my own take/change on the story. Think of this story as an AU. But the small changes that are made, know that I will give them a proper reason]
Hagoromo decided this would be their last reincarnation. Using his power, he merged Indra's soul shard with Sasuke's soul to increase the amount of chakra within Sasuke. That's it. He wouldn't intervene again unless the whole world is in danger.
The merging of souls began. But another soul had barged in the process. A soul with consciousness.
***1st POV***
I don't know what is happening. These memories, these emotions, and experiences belonged to Sasuke. No, they belonged to me. After all, I'm Sasuke now. My family, my clan, my nii-san....
At first, I felt sadness, grief, and helplessness. Comprehending the truth about my brother from both memories, the sadness turned into rage. How dare they make my brother go through this suffering? Danzo! Hiruzen! Obito! Madara! Black Zetsu! I'll fucking butcher you all!
NO! Calm down! I'm not taking that path. I'm not that Sasuke. I'll get my revenge but without any sacrifices. And I'll savor it while looking at their utter failures.
...
Good. I've calmed a little. I'm not becoming an emo-edge lord. Alright. Control this hatred. Turn it into power. Slowly all those negative emotions turned into determination. To do anything, I'll need strength. I've decided. I'm becoming the strongest there is. I'll take down any obstacles in my way. I'll devour anything that comes in my path!
What was that? Why did I think like that?[A/N: Obviously, because I, the author made you think like that. There is a reason for this. Can anyone guess?]
Hoo. Somehow those words felt exhilarating. It's like something changed in me.
Unknowingly, this was the moment when my chakra responded to my desires and completed the half-formed Mangekyou into a complete one. I had obtained two abilities that would make me overpowered later on.
Everything I felt was subconscious till now. I was somehow able to guide my thoughts and feelings. I did not break. I didn't turn insane. For now, that was an achievement.
Slowly, I felt like my consciousness was returning.
I woke up to see the ceiling. Waking up and sitting on the bed, I could see my own reflection on the window's glass. This face was cute. Very cute.
"I guess I really became Sasuke." I muttered. Even the voice sounded nice. And I'm speaking Japanese.
Alright! Let's see what do I have. Chakra? I concentrated for a moment and I could feel something warm and fluid within my stomach. Like I could control it with my will. Slowly, directing them to my eyes, they turned blood red.
"3- tomoe already!"
Maybe- and after injecting more chakra and the pattern changed.
"Mangekyou too!"
Looking at the room, it was neat and tidy. But it also felt a bit gloomy.[A/N: Here, Sasuke lives in his own house. In the story, when Hiruzen was alive, any context of where Sasuke lived was not shown properly. If someone knows, please do impart that knowledge.]
Immediately, he felt his chakra draining and so, he deactivated the eyes.
Alright. What should I be careful about? Mind readers? Stalkers? Spies? Wait! This is a fanfiction universe. That means there should be something different from the canon I know of.
From Sasuke's memories, I can't tell but there wasn't anything different from the original Naruto story. For all I know, there could be another reincarnator. Or suddenly Naruto has the Sharingan. Or someone with a system will appear. Or someone had regressed back in time. Well, I guess emo mode it is then. Until I know what exactly is different, I'll act like the old Sasuke would while preparing secretly as much as I can.
Let's see where this life leads me. Hopefully, I'll get to create my A.I. in peace.
