Usually, most fanfics and Isekai's downplay the whole fetus part of reincarnation, so I was honestly and incredibly unprepared to be faced with...
9 MONTHS OF ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING!
Well, I should start from the beginning.
Continuing on from me being engulfed by the light from that door of reincarnation or whatever that object beyond mortal comprehension is.
I find myself in complete darkness.
That's right.
Complete darkness.
Absolutely no clue as to where, what, and how I am.
Now, were I not to know that I've been allegedly reincarnated. I'd have probably gone insane by now.
My only clues are my assumptions as to just why exactly I'm like this.
I see, nothing, I feel nothing, and so on.
Could it be, because I'm a fetus, lacking any formulated and functioning organs and nerves that I lack the much-needed and coveted access to the basic 5 senses?
A plausible conclusion.
And yet... Why can I formulate thought in that case? I, after all, function at 100% of my late-teens brain. As a fetus. Could this be evidence of the existence of the soul? Although it is stupid of me to doubt its existence when I've just been reincarnated.
But, definitive proof as to my situation and a confirmation of my theories came after an agonizing amount of time of just me, silence, philosophical debates, and other pointless thoughts that were merely there to keep me sane.
The proof?
*Badump* *Badump* *Badump*
A sense of feeling, a sense of hearing was suddenly felt all at once. Why did they both form at once? I have no clue, I am no doctor. But what I am right now is a happy fetus. Because this just confirmed my initial assumption.
That heartbeat was my alleged mother's.
I can hear, but that was a sense I only recently reacquired, as well as feeling.
All in all. I'm a bloody fetus. Probably.
Cool... Now what?
Honestly didn't think this through.
I was much too fixated on the whole uncertainty of whether my reincarnation was actually going to happen or that I got tricked into going into eternal emptiness by that grinning Dragon. I am usually a skeptical and untrusting person. And that Dragon triggered every instinct in my body to avoid his words or advice. Of course, I had no way of refuting or denying his intentions. But he probably knew that already.
I should just be glad that this has gone as anticipated thus far. Now, confirmation of my reincarnated status aside. I should get to planning.
What do I remember of the Naruto World?
Damn... Not good.
Do you know that nagging feeling of having seen something? But you just can't remember it? The frustrating feeling you get as you try hard to recall the memory. As it fails and slips away from your grasp.
It seems I only remember up to The Naruto Vs Sasuke fight in the Valley Of The End. Ominously named place, I know. As Sasuke skedaddles to Orochimaru to get stronger. And Naruto leaves the village to train with Jiraiya.
I know there is a continuation. Its name is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't utter it, can't remember it.
Key information is completely lacking. How does the series end? Do I have any clues that lead me to a plausible ending? Does Naruto save Sasuke from Orochimaru's grasp and defeats him? Is Orochimaru even the final threat?
That 30% isn't good...
I try to recall key information or hints through roundabout methods in my memories. Like a Naruto figurine, Merch, youtube videos, etc... But every time I remember something or stumble upon a revelation, it is... Black, erased, censored. In such a way that it makes sense as to how I acted during that time back in my previous life.
That's some powerful memory eraser alright... No gaps or holes to abuse. Damn it all.
Fine, I'll make do with what I already know.
Naruto is the Main character of the story. Most likely vital to the world and a key to solving whatever conflicts are to come. He has the Nine-Tailed fox spirit sealed inside of him.
Other than that... The main events are as follows.
Naruto takes the Genin exam, and fails it. But by following that Mizuki guy's orders, he steals a scroll and learns a powerful clone jutsu.
After that, he becomes a Genin. Forming a team with Sakura and Sasuke, with Kakashi as their squad leader and teacher.
Wave Arc...
Chunin Exams...
Sand-Sound Invasion...
Tsunade Arc...
Sasuke Retrieval Arc...
Time Skip Arc?????
This... Isn't much, to be frank with you. This is not even a year's worth of events.
You know, as much as this is incredibly bad and could end with me dying young once again.
The lack of knowledge does give me a semblance of freedom in my actions. Doesn't it? No need to worry too much about: "Keeping in line with canon", just so I can puppeteer the events to my liking. I can't do that with incomplete knowledge. I'm not that smart, unfortunately.
Anyways, such grandiose endeavors don't usually work out in the real world. Unless your name is Aizen Sosuke.
Needless to say, I've decided to, for the remainder of my time in this torturous state of being to simply repeat important events, knowledge, and details like a mantra. As I lack the tools to write down my memories. Again, I'm a fetus. I'm not pulling out a magic pen and paper here.
I'm forgetful, remember? Desperate times call for desperate measures after all.
-4 Months Later-
Hey, it's me again. I know talking to myself isn't the most sane of acts. But you really can't blame me.
Anyways, I can move, sort of. I feel that weird cord attached to me, feeding me something. Gotta say, strangest sensation. Ever.
Ahem, back to the movement part, I just hope I didn't piss off my new mother with all the movement and kicking I've been doing.
As a side note, I've begun to hear muffled sounds from outside every now and then that seem to be like talking.
From what I've managed to pick out. It's Japanese... I don't know Japanese.
These things usually come with a built-in translator no?
But hey! It's another, rather lacking piece of evidence of me being reincarnated in the correct destination! Although I wouldn't mind it still being modern-day Japan. Superpowered Ninjas are definitely in the top ten things I would've definitely wanted to avoid.
Back to my agonizing and cripplingly boring silence... And loneliness.
Wonder how's my family doing right now?
Stop, that's just a depressing thought process to take.
Crying would likely not be comfortable in my current state of being. If possible.
Oh, but I'll definitely be doing that once I'm out of here, whether it's from joy at me being freed from a dark prison. Or despair at where I am and what I've lost.
Yes, an empty, dark, and confined area does not do wonders to the mind of a, as of recently dead person. As much as I would have wanted to say I've coped enough back in the white room, it barely scratched the surface, a facade really. Coping alone is hard huh?
You can't lie to yourself in your heart of hearts.
-2 Months Later-
Now, I've grown incredibly big, in fetus terms and I feel it is time to be let loose! Time to upgrade to Baby status!
Dramatics out of the way, yes... Finally! I'm about to be born! Again!
In hindsight, this is rather disturbing and disgusting, and were I to recall this period of my life in the future, I'd probably be disturbed and disgusted at my weird composure here. But I just want to get out of here for the love of God!
I began to push hard.
At my pushing, I could hear the heartbeat of my mother grow, as she herself knew it was time, my kicking and pushing cueing the beginning of my birth.
*Muffled Talking*
No Miss, I do not have a clue as to what you are saying. But it'd be lovely if you... GOT ME OUT OF HERE!
-A couple of hours later-
I hear a lot of muffled talking and movement outside, I'd wager were at a hospital or its equivalent judging by the number of people I hear speaking.
*Muffled Talking*
For the love of god please let it be a safe delivery, I can't really bare the guilt of something happening to this innocent woman as a result of my paranormal existence.
A moment passes and then...
I feel Light... shining on me. An opening!
I move, but my eyes are not fully functional, unfortunately, Thus, I rely on my other senses to detect the source of the light and move toward it.
Damn, I feel like I'm being crushed, this is a narrow passage indeed.
That's a creepy thought I'll chastise myself for later.
Focus on the escape!
As I push through, combined with the effort from my mother, who is only barely grunting at what must be unimaginable pain, a sense of admiration passes through me for a moment at the brave woman's endurance.
Nevertheless... I pass through, the now, unmuffled sounds of people talking in a foreign language, the sense of air on my body, and light... Ah... Freedom is bliss...
Now, onto more important matters.
"WAAH! WAAAAH! WAH!" I, in a storm of contradicting emotions, break out into a cry, not having to wear the facade of a baby at the moment like most reincarnated individuals. As I am held gently and lovingly by my new mother, that warmth cannot be mistaken. A small sense of peace coats me as my crying slowly crawls to a genuine stop.
To be Continued!
-Author Note Start-
Hey hey! It seems our MC that has yet to be named has been reborn! Marking the beginning of the dreaded... Childhood and toddler arc! This won't be long so don't worry! The academy arc will be though... So yeah! Sorry for this being rather short. This was just a part I wanted to get over with, the rest of the chapters should be around 2-4k words in length unless I'm feeling generous lol.
In regards to concerns about the MC's power in the world using the Ten Shadows. Remember, he is not strictly limited to using just the Ten Shadows. In a sense, it is simply like a Kekkai Genkai exclusive to him. He can still use other jutsu and train his other fields of combat to extraordinary levels to complement and improve the Ten Shadows themselves. The technique is versatile but it can in no way shape or form be able to defeat the top-tier threats in Naruto on its own. Not even Mahoraga, a big-tailed beast bomb in the face before it can adapt to it, would end it right then and there, depending on the tailed beast shooting the bomb though, of course, I won't be revealing the Shadow's powerscaling just yet.
Whether he'll be stronger than End Story Naruto or Sasuke? No, Ain't no way. But he'll be up there for sure.
