5 Being born.
Oi. There isn't much information online about toji and the zen'in family itself. Hence the first few chapters with the zen'in family will be heavily made up. Take it with a grain of salt.
This backstory is a fictional one made up by me. So if I get anything wrong do tell me.
Also please leave a comment if you want to :)
----------------------------------------------------------
January 12th 1986.
Zen'in household.
"Did you hear? The head's sister is going to give birth!"
"Naobito's sister is going to give birth? It's almost like yesterday when I saw her as a child."
"Exactly. Plus her husband, although an outsider, has a strong fire element cursed technique."
"Imagine how powerful their child will be! I'm betting that he'll be a strong contender for the position of patriarch alongside naoya."
"Hmmm this is all just speculation for now. We shouldn't get our hopes up. What if he's born with a heavenly restriction?"
"Shhhh..... If the clan head heard that you might as well be beheaded by now. Don't speak words like that if you don't wanna die."
"Yes you have a po-"
Just as they were about to speak, a scream echoed out from the infirmary.

MC POV:
"Dammit this granny is taking too much time. When will she give bir-' just as he was speaking he had a mischievous plan.
"Oi system if I force my way out of the womb right now. What are the chances of her dying ?"
[Processing request]
[The chances of your mother, Izuki zen'in dying are 56% if you force your way out of her womb. The system urges the host to wait for another few days to prevent the chances of her dying.]
"Fuck that. I've waited long enough. If fate is on her side she'll come out fine. I don't even know her."
[As you wish host.]
"Hmm how do I do this?" as the host started poking around the womb he suddenly found a small opening that was most likely his mother's cervix.
As it dilated he pushed through the birth canal bumping right into, what he believed, was his way out.
''bingo''
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"just as Kane started using both of his hands to enlarge the crack while still inside his mother. A feminine scream echoed outside.
"HURRY UP AND BRING HER TO THE INFIRMARY. SHE'S HAVING A PREMATURE BIRTH" the maid that was in charge of taking care of Izuki during her pregnancy hurriedly shouted.
Two men came to her assistance and carried her to the infirmary.
At the infirmary, the doctors tried their best to calm izuki down while slowly and steadily delivering her baby. Just then a voice echoed.
"IZUKI ARE YOU OKAY ??" Just then Tadama Aoi, Izuki's husband, rushed into the room alongside Naobito zen'in.
"Hahhh... D-dont worry Tadama. This just means our baby's stronger then we thought." Izuki gave tadama a weak smile.
A horrifying sight occurred as the people inside the room could see two tiny hands slowly peeking out of Izuki's vagina before the baby's head popped right out.
"Huh. Looks like my heightened physical strength really did come in handy." Kane looked around the room but he couldn't see anything clearly. His eyes were still adjusting to the light after living in darkness for months.
Needless to say all the people inside the room were shocked.
" Oi oi oi. Tadama I think you've created a monster." Naobito, with sweat running down his forehead, said.
"I-izuki, doctor tell me that she's alive."
"Don't worry Izuki's probably just passed out from shock. It looks like your son has incredible strength for his age" the doctor said with an eyebrow raised. He hadn't seen such physical strength from a baby before.
"Anyways quickly lets clamp and cut the umbilical cord."
10 minutes later,
After everything was said and done Tadama stood there dazed with his son in his hands as he saw the doctor approaching him with a bag.
"Here you go Mr Tadama. This bag contains heavy painkillers. Two packets of ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine. Make sure your wife takes 1 of each everyday. One painkiller every morning,evening and night. After 2 weeks if your wife feels better take her off the painkillers." After bowing to Tadama the doctor walked out of the room.
"Doctor, I forgot to thank you !" Just as the doctor was about to leave the room tadama shouted to him.
"N-no problem Mr Tadama, we've gone back for a long time. How could you thank me for such a small thing?" Although the doctor's tone was polite if you had looked at his face then you could see that he was biting his lower lip and clenching the doorknob.
"Go take care of your kid now Tadama."
After being left alone in the room Tadama looked at Kane before smiling as tears started falling down from his eyes.
"Y-your name will be Toji zen'in from now on" he smiled at the toddler with tears falling from his eyes.
"All this emotional stuff is boring." that's all that Toji could think about.
----------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile at the Zen'in family front gate,
The doctor was leaving the Zen'in household with a guilty conscience when a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
"Wh-what do you want now? I already did what you asked me to do" the doctor's body was violently shaking.
"Now now, where do you think you're going? How can I make sure that you really swapped the painkillers with poison? After all I'm not a doctor myself"
"YOU YOU ALREADY HAVE MY FAMILY AS HOSTAGE DO YOU THINK I WOULDN'T GIVE THEM POSION ?!??"
"Woooooh relax Mr doctor. After all you still have a long life to live." The figure covered by the shadow of the front gate said.
"Let go of me. I've already done what you wanted me to do. Now let my family go"
"Aye aye captain your wish is my command pffftt hahhahahaaa"
"I'm sorry Tadama but your baby.... Judging by it's physical strength at this age will grow up to threaten my seat in the clan. Even if you support me you have to die.'
Just as the doctor opened the front gate the light of the sun dispersed the shadows and you could finally see the shadowy figure. But nothing could be seen in its place. Almost like the conversation before was just a dream made up by a delusional doctor.

TOJI POV:
"Mmm this place... The density of chaos energy is more then the surroundings. Yet I can't feel this cursed energy. What a shame."
[Host, if you keep on training your 6 senses to a supernatural degree you'll be able to see the silhouette of cursed spirits just by using your eyesight and hearing. Cursed spirits interact with the physical world, although in minor ways. With powerful eyesight and mind you can make a virtual replica of the cursed spirit by using its aerodynamics. As in how it affects the air around it while moving to know how it (roughly) looks.]
"Don't worry about that. My main question is how long until my vocal cords are at their full capacity ?"
[Processing request]
[Since host is born with a special physique. You'll be able to speak properly just one month after birth.]
"System what do you know about chaotic energy?''
[Processing request]
[The system is in possession of 78 books on the study of chaotic energy produced by various great minds across universe 1.]
"Well then did you know about this special function of chaotic energy?''
"If you gather the chaos energy around your body and spread a thin layer of chaos energy through the area. And then coat your eyes with chaotic energy you'll be able to even see invisible objects as they will be coated with chaotic energy. A person not well versed in void energy might not even notice this in the first place.''
[That.... The system is afraid to inform the host that this method is already stated in section 7 of article 23 of the book "Chaotic Techniques for Dummies"]
'.....'
"Ignore whatever I said. How long until I can start cultivating chaos energy once more ?''
[Processing request]
[It will take roughly 1 year for the dantian to develop inside host's body. Yet the host can start cultivating as soon as the age of 6 months but it will be innefficent because of your developing dantian.]
"Noted.''
[The system detects hostile intent towards the host.]
"hoh? Targetting me already?do you know who"
[It's Naobito Zen'in, host.]
"Targetting your sister's child when he was just born, what a freak (I totally wouldn't do that)"
"System"
[Yes host.]
"What do you know about the body I've occupied and the zen'in family ?''
[The system has been meaning to say this but felt that there were more pressing issues at hand. Apparently the day your soul swapped with toji Zen'in's soul the god of this universe detected the change and I don't know what she's done but apparently your birth has been delayed for more than 18 years.]
'You mean that I was in my mother's womb for more then 20 years?'
[Obviously not host. It's just that.... The timeline was altered by the goddess of this universe for no apparent reason. No matter how much this system calculated it wasn't able to find a rational reason behind this change. Other than boredom.]
''interesting."

That is all with Toji's "made up" backstory for now. We'll be getting into the spicy bits of the novel soon.
