Journey Of A Soul - A Naruto Fanfic

1 year later

in konoha orphanage, we find our mc in the backyard of the orphanage sitting below a tree or rather hiding behind the said tree

'damn what's up with all these older girls' i wondered. there are about 10 girls ranging from 4 to 7 year olds looking for our mc calling his name.

'i need to hide better' i thought and stealthily made my way to my secret base- which is a hollowed tree whose entrance is covered by a thick bush.

after i made it inside i started thinking about all the developments which have taken place in this past year.

i was able to find where in the time line i was born in and the differences of this world from the manga in my previous life.

firstly i was born 5 months before the kyuubi attack on konoha. at that time i just started walking around in my room and suddenly there were large sounds and the ground was shaking like an earthquake has hit 11. i was startled but not due to the shaking but due to large mass of chakra i sensed in the air filled with unfathomable hate and killing intent.

let me recap, i have discovered that all my spiritual energy and techniques i painstakingly developed in my last life has come through with me and was able to regain control over my observation and armament haki where i can cover almost quarter of konoha and get my armament on my fist which is pretty much my last peak. i had sensed the auras of all the people in orphanage and was shocked to find miki-obasan and matron-baachan are really strong. while the other workers are mediocre compared to them.

i used the acc.u.mulation technique i have developed in the past life and started taking world energy since i came to this world but it was accompanied by two wills which are equally monstrous but i have worked hard to remove th will of the world and what i felt like a taint (the other will) and internalized this nature chakra. it has improved my body when i nourised with this chakra and i felt my chakra had become denser than before. to give an estimate, if my precious world energy is like a colorless gas and this bodys chakra is light blue flame, the nature chakra has a feeling of raging bonfire. after 5 months my chakra has changed to dense blue color which is a lot of improvement.

anyways back to kyuubi. i felt its chakra which is one word to say was monstrous was spreading through the village like nobodies business. i had an idea, what will happen if i absorbed this dense chakra and internalized it.

i started abosorbing this red chakra strand by strand and started clensing it with my will and compared to natures will or the other evil taint it was a childs play and combined with my chakra. what happened was miraculous as my sensing capabilities have increased a lot and now i can almost sense evil like naruto in kyuubi mode, but i was not a light bulb like naruto was.

i also got passive regeneration due to this new chakra where i could sense a nourishing effect all over my body. as i was internally celebrating my success i observed i was carried by some one who i sensed is one of the orphanage workers to where i believe is civilian bunker.

i got a look at the kyuubi and couldnt help but take a deep breath. it was magnificent, that just looking at it is a huge burden on my body.

after that in an half an hour i was found by miki obasan who took me back to orphanage. this is where there is a massive divergence from the canon.

it would seem like minato and his family were not dead and it was the third who defeated the kyuubi along with sanin. yup you heard right, it seems sanin were in the village during the attack and helped in saving a lot of lives and konoha has come out of it with minimum casualties and the third was in a coma for 2 months which i believe is a backlash due to sealing the kyuubi in naruto.

there was another divergence as in there was no news about any infant with kyuubi or kyuubi brat. how i know this is the orphanage workers were gossiping about everything before us and they lnow a lot. i think.

suddenly i heard a loud shout calling my name, after sensing who it was i put out a sign of relief and came out of my secret hideout.

'miki obasan, i am here' i shouted and ran towards the orphanage door.

miki asked when i came near her- where were you.

'i was hiding from the she devils' i answered with a cheeky smile.

miki caught me a started playing with my cheeks saying- who are you calling a she devil?

i struggled for a bit and pouted cutely with puppy dog eyes-anime style technique. it seems to have worked as i can see her lips twitching in a smile.

miki said - come we are going out for a bit.

i was really exited, it was not allowed for children in orphanage under 3 to go out on there own to play. why they allow 3 year old out is due to high security in the village. if anyone finds you messing with a child it was direct death here, which is awesome.

'really, we are going out!!' i acted like a child would all exited and started wearing my sandals.

miki chuckled seeing me all exited and took my arm and we went out to the village proper. let me tell you even if konoha is called a village, its actually a huge metropolis. there are actually 3 gates to outside the village and it is much larger than japan from my previous life. this planet contains only one continent and the whole continent is actually elemental nations where fire country is the largest.

the whole shinobi polulation based on my haki scan is almost in millions where the jounins and above are only in thousands.

anyways while we are walking i was curiously looking at everything around us. i saw some of the girls giggling while looking at us and i flashed them a smile which got them to giggle more. dont ask i just contribute it to my outstanding looks.

if you guys have not figured out, i am reincarnated as sakura haruno in naruto but the male version. yup you heard it. i got the editic memory, retained my perfect chakra control and large amount of chakra due to my meddeling when i am in my mothers w.o.m.b and due to the acc.u.mulation technique i practised.

my out standing looks come from acc.u.mulating and nourishing my body to the limit everyday with nature chakra. my forest green eyes are more like crystals with a glow as a side effect of the nature chakra nourishment, i have naturally silky pink hair till my shoulders with streaks of pale blone in between and combined with large doe eyes and proportional face and red lips i am the cutest toddler.

i think we have reached our destination while i was thinking since miki obasan suddenly stoped. i saw we stopped in front of a store which looks like shinobi toy store.

miki - 'Happy Birthday sasaki-chan, you can get anything you like under 500 ryo from here, this is my and matrons gift for you'

i got startled and almost cried but held it in a gave a grateful smile to obasan and walked inside the store with her. the store has lots of toys both civilian and shinobi like trains, toy kunais, toy shurikens even toy swords. i looked around for a while and got a toy kunai and shuriken set of 12 and a toy black bo-staff almost twice my size.

then i browsed through the books and got a couple of books like history of konoha by some one called hibiki and foundation of chakra for young shibobi by hiruzen. i am pretty sure hiruzen here is the third hokage and took it.

seeing i am done, miki obasan paid for the things and we went for some ice cream near a park. after running around for a couple of hours in th fresh grass of the playground we started going back to th orphanage. i was pretty exited to start training with the toy kunai and shuriken along with my bo staff.

after going back, i carefully placed the books under my matress and found an old pouch to place my toy kunai and shuriken. after that i relaxed for a bit till dinner and slept.

next day, i started reading through the history book to consolidate what other changes are from the story and came to the following points.

1. it seems like uzumaki clans royal family was saved along with some branches who made it to konoha during the second war. so they are not extinct

2. Madara still left the village.

3. the most shocking one is danzo who is a commander in second shinobi war died in battle. (yup no meddling from the war hawk)

the other parts of the book is mostly on heroics of different shinobis of konoha who did hero stuff mostly propaganda if ever i saw any.

the second book was the most important. it talks about chakra and what it is along with its variations and different shinobi disciplines like tiijutsu(hand to hand), ninjutsu(ninja magic), genjutsu(illusions) , jikukan (space time), bakujutsu (weapons like kunai and shuriken), kenjutsu(sword arts), bojutsu(bo staff), fuinjutsu (sealing arts) and iryo ninjutsu (medical jutsu). giving introduction on these.

then the training plan for pre acadamy students is covered on how to build core strenght correctly and what mistakes to be avoided, which is very informative as the bodies in this world can handle a certain level of abuse it seems due to chakra. its completely different from previous world where if any child trained like this he would get spinal cord and bones broken.

'well this changes my plan, i was planning on starting my training for body atleast when i am four but with my regenrative chakra, i can handle this training from right now even if this book says we can start when 3'.

with that i planned to start my core strengthening exercises starting tomorrow for two years, i want to get precious profecincy in my bojutsu too, ofcourse in secret.
