REBORN

Michael's soul was flying through a black portal, after some time of flying he saw a bright light at the end of the tunnel. When Michael finally adapted to this bright light, he saw an old woman who was holding him. Michael understood that he had been reborn as a baby.

When Michael observed the surroundings, he understood that he was in a closed room. There was only this old woman and another woman who appeared to be in her early thirties was present in the room. The woman in her early thirties was lying motionless on the bed. He understood that this woman was his mother in this world. But what surprised Michael more was the eyes of the old woman who was holding him, her eyes were pure white. From Michael's memory, the only people he knew with white eyes were those from the clan named Hyuga in the anime Naruto.

Even though Michael was a billionaire in his previous life, he was a person who knew how to enjoy his life. Whenever he had free time, he would always watch anime and read Mangas. So, he was very familiar with the world of anime. This was also the reason why Michael was able to understand the options given by the purple figure; because every option the purple figure gave him was related to some anime.

He had already completed watching both Naruto and Boruto. So he was familiar with the world of Naruto. Michael was also a person with a very good memory, so even if he can't remember everything about Naruto, he still remembers most of it.

Slap!

The old woman who was holding Michael directly give a slap to Michael. Michael also understood why this woman slapped him. It was because he was a newborn child and newborn babies were supposed to cry. He also saw the old woman activating her Byakugan, He thought it would probably be to make sure he was okay. So without making any more delay, Michael started to cry.

From his teary eyes, he saw the old woman giving a sigh of relief, but there was still no happiness on the face of this old woman. Michael thought that the reason why this old woman wasn't feeling happy would probably be because of his mother who was lying motionless on the bed.

The old woman carried Michael and opened the door. A middle-aged man and a boy who appears to be five years old were standing outside the door, from the looks of it the middle-aged man appeared to be really worried. The old woman handed Michael to the middle-aged man and said,

"It's a boy" She paused a while and continued

"But unfortunately Madam Hara didn't make it"

Hara Hyuga was the name of the woman who had given birth to Michael and the middle-aged man who was holding Michael was named Hirose Hyuga. Hirose was the husband of Hara and also the father of Michael.

There was a clear trace of sadness on the face of Hirose after he heard Hira was dead. But Hirose was a shinobi and he knew how to control his emotions. But the five-year-old kid who was beside Hirose burst into tears after hearing his mother Hira was dead. This five-year-old kid was named Kudo, He was the first son of Hirose and also the big brother of Michael.

Michael was watching all of this happening from the hands of Hirose. Michael wasn't affected in the slightest, even after hearing his mother was dead. There was no need to become sad about the death of some mother whom he had met a few minutes ago. But what worried Michael was the language they were talking in, It was Japanese. Michael knew five languages from his previous life, but unfortunately Japanese was not one of them. So Michael had no idea what they were talking about. So for the time being Michael choose to just observe how things would unfold.

Hirose was walking through a long hallway while holding Michael in one of his arms, The crying Kudo also followed Hirose through the hallway, the old woman also followed him while keeping a certain distance.

Michael also guessed that the guy who was currently holding him would be his biological father. Michael was also relieved to see the blank forehead of the man holding him. This indicated that Michael's father was from the main family of the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan was a clan that contains both a main family and a branch family. Within the clan, the members of the main family were treated as Nobility whereas the members from the branch family were treated as mere servants. All the members of the branch family will be marked with a seal called the bird cage. With the help of the bird cage, the members of the main family can easily control the life and death of the branch family members. The branch family members who were marked with the bird cage will contain an 'x' mark on their forehead. So even if Michael wasn't a hundred percent sure, Michael still believed that there is a high chance he would belong to the main family. Michael woke up from his thoughts when he saw Hirose enters a big hall.

This hall contained both men and women, there was also a man standing in the middle of this hall. Michael recognized this man, this was Hiashi Hyuga. Hiashi was the clan leader of the Hyuga clan. But the Hiashi in front of Michael seems to be much younger than the one Michael saw in the anime. So Michael understood that he was in a timeline before the official plot of Naruto began. But Michael still couldn't pinpoint exactly which timeline he was on.

After entering the hall Hirose directly paid his respect to the clan leader and spoke,

"The child is a boy and he is completely healthy, but Hara Hyuga died during childbirth," Hirose said with a cold face, but no matter how much Hirose try to control his emotions, he still couldn't help but form a small crystal tear at the edge of his eyes. Kudo was still mourning silently beside Hirose.

After hearing what Hirose said, the atmosphere in the hall fell into a gloomy silence.

"Hirose, I understand your sadness and you have my deepest condolences but you are a ninja and before that, you are a member of the main family of the Hyuga clan, so try to control your emotions"

The clan leader Hiashi broke the silence and said to Hirose. Hirose still had a gloomy expression while holding Michael, but after hearing the clan leader the gloomy expression was replaced by a cold face. Seeing this the clan leader said again,

"Now you should give a suitable name to this child."
