Changes (3)

Granted, perhaps Ren should have figured that one out sooner. Back in his old life 'Naruto' was one the biggest all-time anime/manga series while growing up. Though while he did follow the series, he wasn't a hardcore fan of it per se. He had always been way more into 'Bleach' then he had been 'Naruto'.

Of course, he needed to get back to the main thing on hand. The fact that the world of 'Naruto' was apparently real after all and his ass got reincarnated into it. Ren reacted the only way he possibly could with such shock in a toddler's body. He wailed and cried accordingly.

"Ahh! Please don't cry, Ren!" Pleaded the man holding him. "If your mother finds you out of your room and crying. She'll be absolutely fur-" His words were cut off by the yelling of a very angry sounding woman.

"INOICHI!"

The man now known as Inoichi froze in place. His face paled and he gulped nervously. He slowly turned to face a woman who looked like a smaller, softer in the face, female version of himself. Except her eyes were a deep blue instead of green.

"Hel- hello sister." Inoichi choked out.

The woman glared at her brother and approached him. The room seemed to grow colder with every step she took. When she was face to face with her brother, she said nothing and simply held out her arms. Inoichi understanding the gesture, gently handed over his crying nephew. Hoping to avoid the wrath of his sister as much as possible. While she wasn't a ninja-like him, she could still be pretty damn scary when she wanted to be.

Ren was handed over to the woman who was apparently his mother by the man who was his uncle. He was still wailing and crying from the shock of things. However, as soon as he was wrapped up in my mother's arms. she began to cradle and soothe him in a way only a mother could achieve. While he was still in shock, his mother's soothing still worked to get him to calm down enough to where he was no longer wailing loudly.

"There, there my sweet boy. Mommy is here for you, so don't cry." She spoke softly to Ren as she then planted a soft tender kiss to the top of his head. Which he won't deny, it definitely helped calm him down even further. Before he realized it, she was carrying him away to somewhere else in the house. After a few moments he was in a playroom of sorts, that wasn't his. Making a quick look around Ren saw a mirror, his mother happened to be standing in front of as she held him.

Getting a better look at himself, he noticed that besides mocha skin, he had blue eyes just like his mother. He also had some bits of blond hair beginning to grow on his head. He also noticed his face while holding male features, was still noticeably much softer looking than the face of most males.

'Man, I really scored big time on the exotic looks department in this new life.'

Ren's mother sat him down on the floor alongside another toddler who appeared to be roughly the same age.

"Ok, you just hang out here alongside your cousin Ino." Said his mother as she left the room, closing the door securely behind her as she did. A few moments after it was closed a very noticeable yell was heard.

"INOICHI! I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!"

'note to self. Avoid pissing off my mother at all costs.'

Now that he had finally calmed down from the initial shock of it all Ren now had time properly think everything out. He went back and thought about everything he knew about 'Naruto'. Trying to steadily piece together where exactly he was in the timeline of the story and what he was in store for in the years to come. Having to live out his new existence in a place he once thought was nothing but fantasy. After some time he felt he had more or less a solid idea about things.

'Alright time to break this down.' Ren mused to himself mentally. 'So I died and wound up getting reincarnated into the world of 'Naruto'. A place I had once thought to be nothing more, but a fun made-up story. Apparently, I was also born into the Yamanaka clan. One of the oldest and powerful clans in Konoha. Seeing how Ino is already born and the same age as me. That would mean Naruto himself is born and has the nine tails sealed within him. which in turn also means there are quite a few years before the main story of the series kicks off.'

Then as he thought more about his knowledge of the series, he made his first big issue at hand.

'Someone by the name of 'Ren Yamanaka' never existed at all in the series. Whether in canon or filler as far as I'm aware of. Which means I'm more or less a totally new player tossed into this world. That in turn also means my mere existence here will have who knows what amount changes on events that are going to be playing out. Not to mention whatever totally new events are likely to happen due to my existence here. While I'm sure certain major things like the land of waves and the chunin exams, will most likely play out most likely how they do in canon. It's whatever slight difference that could go down, that could throw a real wrench into things. When it comes down to it, my best option is just simply to let things play out and react accordingly to things as I recognize them. Man, I'm in for a pretty exciting time in this new life by looks of it all.'
