Chapter 1: Are you kidding me...
(1st POV)
*Yawn*
I yawn as I walk out of the building at night after finishing my shift.
It's currently 10 pm
Usually, I'm home by this time, watching anime or sleeping if I don't feel like watching. But today I had to work extra hours because of some 'issues'.
Walking down the dark street to my apartment I see very few people walking around and even fewer cars. I turn right to a zebra crossing and walk without looking. It's not like there are many cars anyway.
As I think that, shining lights blind me alongside a truck horn blaring
''Oh sh-'' *sound of a guy getting hit by a truck*
I roll on the ground till I stop in the middle of an intersection
(Damn that hurt...) I think as I feel my head bleeding. Disoriented, I try to sit up only to hear another horn and being blinded again
(Not aga-) Those were my final thoughts before I lost consciousness
.
.
Black
All I 'see' is black.
I feel like I'm floating
(What the hell is going on?) I think to myself
(Am I dead? Probably I mean I got hit by a truck twice, damn you truck-kun... Is this really what death is? Just floating around in emptiness? This sucks... Wait why am I so calm about this I just died? Damn... Though it is pretty warm and calming here... That loud heartbeat-like sound is annoying) I think to myself, trying to figure out where I am
I feel like months have gone by, even though it's probably only been seconds. I don't even know anymore.
(Huh? What is this?) I think as I feel something 'fleshy' with my 'hands'
I try pushing it only to hear some sort of groan, though I almost missed it because it was so muffled
(What the...) Now that I focused on my hearing I realized that I hear others, though it's hard to tell with the loud heartbeat.
(Maybe... No that shouldn't be possible... Is it? Am I a baby? In a womb? How?? Am I dreaming?) It was the only answer I could think of.
Feels like more months go by. (If I am a baby in a womb then I should be born soon. Did I get reincarnated or something? If so then to what world?) Many questions filled my mind until, as if on queue, I see a white light (Well now or never) I think as I get pushed to the light
(Agh) light blinds my eyes as I am finally pushed out
''Congratulations! It's a boy!'' I hear as I feel myself being held
''Here'' I feel myself being handed to someone else
*pant* *pant*
Finally, my eyes get somewhat adjusted to the light as I see a blurry red-haired figure
Feeling the warmth from the hold I fell asleep immediately, but not before hearing the words
''Your name will be Yuki Uzumaki'' A feminine voice said as I drifted off
.
.
.
(Huh?) I try to open my eyes only to close them quickly again. Once my eyes adjust to the light I look around only to see that I'm in a crib in a room with blue concrete walls and wooden flooring. Opposite my crib is a window.
(Wait, that's...) I think as I realize where I am
Outside my window, I see something that could only be described as a city, high-rise buildings made of concrete, but that wasn't what caught my attention. The thing that caught my attention was the swirl symbol plastered everywhere, the Uzumaki clan symbol!'
(A/N Image here if I remember, imagine it not being destroyed of course)
(Dammit this is Uzu, It's going to get destroyed soon... Hold on! Uzu!? Am I dreaming?) I think as I pinch myself with tiny hands ''Ohgw''
(This isn't a dream... I'm in the Naruto world... fuuu-... Why in such a place that's going to be destroyed, out of all the other villages. Also, my vocal cords aren't up to speed so all that's coming out of my mouth is blabber... great, just great) Deciding to try to make this situation even the tiniest bit better I look around my room to find something, anything really.
Alas, all I see are some baby toys littered on the ground and a door on the wall to the left of the window.
So, I turn inward, specifically trying to find my chakra.
I try to sense chakra by focusing on my stomach and heart
*Flicker* I sensed something for just an instant but it was gone as if it wasn't there in the first place
(So it isn't that easy) I sigh and start to think about priorities
(A/N His original world's Naruto had years specifically, Hagormo's birth is the start of this so he is basically Jesus)
(Alright so 1. It's very needed to find out what year is it. Uzu was destroyed in 983, though I don't know what month so that's concerning 2. I need to find a safe way out of this place before that and 3. I need to become strong enough to not die by a random shuriken. Fina-)
My thoughts were cut off as I hear a click from the door. Fast, I lie down and pretend to be asleep
I hear soft footsteps drawing closer ''Aww, he's so cute when he sleeps'' a familiar feminine voice says as I feel myself get picked up. Pretending to have just woken up I open my eyes and see the face of the voice.
Long red hair, deep, dark red eyes, and a soft face. She was wearing a black t-shirt with gray pants. She also had a sizeable chest. I guessed this was my mother of this world.
''How about we go on a walk?'' She then starts to walk to the door. We step into what looks like a living room with a couch and coffee table. to the right, I see a kitchen with all that you need. To the left is a closed door and next to that is another closed door. Walking through the living room we stop in front of a door to the left of the kitchen as she put on her shoes.
(A/N Image)
We step into a hallway, and seeing the number 16 on the door I think that this maybe is an apartment building
My guess would be correct as we walk down a flight of stairs and out through a door
(Damn...) I think as I see the village hidden in the whirlpools in its full glory, noting the hundreds of red hairs walking around among normal-haired people. In every direction you look there are high-rise buildings, also a river running through the middle with bridges connecting both sides.
I breathe in the unpolluted fresh air
My mother keeps walking as I'm lost in the moment until I hear someone speak
''Oh, Is that you, Yua?'' I hear as I see a red-haired woman with glasses. She also has red eyes but they are lighter in color. As she approaches she gasps
''Is this little Yuki?'' She comes right up to my face and starts poking my cheeks
The now identified Yua giggles ''Yes, he is''
Already annoyed by her poking my cheek I try to slap away her finger
*squeak*
.
.
.
(Wait did I just hear a squeak-)
The woman just burst out laughing as I stare at my hand. Yua also giggles
After everyone calms down Yua asks ''So, Sara, where are you going?''
''Oh, I'm heading over to that new restaurant that just opened. I think It's called the Baratie or something. I heard they sell the best fish'' the newly named Sara answered
(Baratie? Isn't tha-) my thoughts get cut off again ''Sure I'd love to'' Yua says as we start walking to the restaurant
(What the hell is going on...)
(A/N So that's that, lemme know if something is dumb or doesn't make sense. Also if you care about word count for some reason: 1381.
If you made it this far, don't ask about how he is able to do things babies shouldn't, I don't know almost anything about babies and what they can and can't do, so chalk it up to Uzumaki + anime logic. Sorry)
