Reborn As Haku's Brother In Naruto

Chapter 10 - Mother's smile

The sun shone brightly, its light piercing through the clouds, illuminating the village of Konohagakure.

The streets were bustling, with hawkers selling their commodity, mothers shopping for their families, and children playing around. With the sound of hammer hitting metal in the background and occasional shadow passing by the roofs, recalling us that despite the fact that the village seemed lively with child laughter permeating it, it was only thanks to the sacrifice of the strong protecting defenseless people.

In this world being strong was never necessarily a good thing. Because the system is made in a manner that will basicaly 'enslave' all the genius and powerful people to the village, to protect it or their own clans with their life. It's a word of treachery, where a simple person if shrewd enough can make a country collapse with just a few tricks. Except if you possessed an absolute power capable of toppling all the shinobi, and a firm mind not swayed by their treacherous words, you will in the end volunteer to protect the village with all you own.

Samsa, Haku and Hanami were strolling the streets, while looking around curiously. Because even if they possessed memories of this place, it was the first time that they truly visited it. Even more so for Samsa and Haku, having seen all of it behind a screen and then in the real life can be really eye opening.

'Konoha is really amazing Haku, nothing like Mizu no Kuni where there was only snow, ice and water; or the cities on Earth full of pollution '

'In the end apart from mother and a selected few, we never really interacted with canon people in our past life. We died before the 4th shinobi war, so we didn't really participated in 'importants events'. I think this time it will be far more entertaining' replied Haku, through their spiritual bond

«Mom, let's go to Akimichi's Yakiniku, I want to eat meat today!»

Making an akward face, Hanami was torn on the inside. She wanted to spoil her children in this life but she currently did not even own sufficient fonds to bring them eat in a restaurant, and she did not dare to reveal the fact that she is a shinobi to the Hokage, for fear of dying and letting them grow orphans a new time.

And it's not only that, she is a Ice kekkei genkai user, so if the village authority learn of it, god knows what future awaits her. Thankfully her children in this life are not blood related to her current body, so even if she is caught, they will do nothing to them because they possessed no apparent blood connexion. But even then, if she can't be with them what the use of being reborn?

'Sigh...I'm truly a useless mother. I couldn't protect my child because I'm a bad shinobi, and even now if I train, so much can go down south, and I know I don't have any talent in it. I only know how to do housework from my past life, and in this one apparently I own a clothes shop, but it's far from being able to support the spoiling time. Aaaah what to do what to do?'

Seeing the look of distress on their mother face, the two of them could more or less guess what goes inside her mind.

After all if they did not possess the system or their cheats, they will have been completely hepless too. They died while still being in their parents care in their first life, and in the second one they learned to survive in the wild but unfortunately, knowing that can't earn money, and even if it could there is no way that they will expose themselves by killing wolves and bear at their age, it will be a direct trip to become Danzo number 1 and 2 puppets to take the Hokage seat, or Orochimaru new bodies.

The image of Orochimaru in his disgutsing snake form swallowing Sasuke pop out in their mental link, making the 2 of them shudder thinking of being the next one. Not that they blame him for doing that, after all it's the only one that possessed a realistic aim. Contrary to Obito wish to put all people in a genjutsu, or Hashirama one's to wish for peace while using sentient beings capable of destroying mountains as bargaining ch.i.p.s.

Unfortunately he was not born in the correct world, who knows what an Orochimaru cultivator would look like, it could be a pretty interesting thing to see, with his cunningness and obssesion who knows how far he would go if he obtain a 'dark path' cultivation technique. He doesn't possess the will of the main characters to practice on the conventional path and overcome the challenges head on, but with his obsession and hard work in the dark to reach his goal, he could outshone all the talented 'bad guys' and become a true immortal this time.

Thinking of that, they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking at the same time that it could be cool to create havoc in the 'canons'. After all now that they owned a new chance at life and possess the power and the ressources to do so, it's time to enjoy themselves. Not playing heroes while saving people they don't care about. And what better way than to create all the scenarios that they always wished to see?

Looking at Haku and Samsa ugly faces when they thought of the possession jutsu of Orochimaru, Hanami thought it was because they knew that she could not afford it and were disappointed in her for failing them again and again, and was on the brink of mental breakdown 'I'm useless, useless, useless, even my child know that I'm useless...'

When suddenly Samsa took her hand and exclaimed «Don't worry mom, just you being with us is sufficient, you already did so much for us by raising us alone while that guy was working all the time, so relax and let us take care of you, you don't owe us anything, if anyone owe something, it's me and Haku. Come let's eat and let us thank you properly»

Looking up and seeing Haku running ahead, Samsa, taking Hanami hand began to hurry after her with his mom in tow while shouting «Wait for us Haku!»

Looking behind her, Haku stuck her tongue out, and resumed running ahead while laughing, brightening the days of the citizens seeing her cute dimples and hearing her childlike laughter, while inwardly thinking that it was not bad to be able to live another time with Hanami, the best mom one can ask for, not like on earth where they were to busy making money to properly take care of them.

Even if she had all she wanted, nothing can replace a mother love and care. Thankfully, her's and Samsa's parents were friends, so the loneliness was eased by being with him nearly all the time.

Meanwhile, Hanami was moved to tears, thinking that she had the best children one could ask for. They didn't blame her even if she 'abandon' them when they were so small. Drying her tears while being dragged by Samsa, and feeling finally completely freed of her guilt, she let out a sunny smile, dazzling all the males in the crowd

'I can't protect them because I possess no talent in it, and they're grown up already even if they are in child body. So instead of wanting to mother them I must just let them know that they now own a home, and that whatever they do I will always approve of it'

Sensing her shift of mood, Samsa took a look behind to see his mother beautiful smile, stunning him.

«Beautiful»

Hearing Samsa comment, the smile on her face broadened and she pinch his cheek and said cheekily

«Of course, or how could I give birth to 2 beautiful angels like you and Haku.»

Samsa was startled by the sudden change of temperament of Hanami, but it was to be expected, after all it's maybe her own way to cope with all the crazy things that happened in succession.

'All is good if she is happy'
