1 Reincarnation

Amidst the whispers of the night, faintly illuminated by the red moon, an unnatural event had occurred unseen by the inhabitants of this world.

Far from a mountain displaying 3 carved faces that exuded the strength, hope and the will of fire, in the silent courtyard of a house that held the banner of a red and white paper fan (uchiwa) emblem, a child was sleeping under the blanket on a tatami bed. The red moon light at it's brightest invaded the shadows and illuminated his closed eyes.

The boy had a mix of raven black and dark blue hair. The dark blue strands merging aesthetically with his raven hair, prominently on the front side.

Suddenly, the boy opened his eyes, a pair of jet-black pupil and iris, that barely contained his shock. He pushed himself off the bed and sat on it. He then closed his eyes and was frowning, like someone in deep thought.

' What happened? I thought I was in the hospital. Did I die?!'

As he tried recall what happened, he found an additional 2 years of memory, merging with his original set, which felt both familiar and foreign to him. He went through the memories and his body stiffened in shock. A moment later, he relaxed with a sad sigh.

' I died. '

'I hoped to recover and atleast do something more for her and my parents. And my dreams of pursuing science...'

'Science..uhh... I wish I knew enough to explain my current situation. I can only rely on my memories of the anime. Damn! I shouldn't have skipped all the fillers!'

'Anyway, I can't do anything about it...for now! I guess I will go with the flow... life goes on... never stopping for anyone... atleast for any mortal!'

As his thoughts reached there, he whispered : "For now!"

It was a situation where you lost something priceless to get something you always wished for. He accepted his situation just like that. It's not that he quit, but it's no use solving a complex problem, without the required skill-set, by just thinking about it. Hence he was forced to accept his situation.

'As much as I like Naruto, why did I have to be on Danzo's list from the beginning. I guess everything has its ups and downs.'

He was reincarnated into the world of Naruto and was born an Uchiha. Apparently the culture even though similar to Japan and China has its own differences here and there, especially for the language, character scripts and also for seal language, other important jutsu, body and elemental representations. Instead of kanji something different, yet similar in a few ways and at the same time, a more advanced version of it, is used.

Luckily the 2 year memories, that just merged with his original, had the necessary knowledge on language and basic script, so with his now adult mind, the language was no barrier anymore and writing was not a big problem, since it was mastered for his age already. Although he is yet to come across seal language, he had already seen people using hand seals. Hand seals do exist and are same as the anime and are heavily relied on as he saw from instances in his memories, yet he didn't start practicing it as of now.

'My mother, Uchiha Asami...'

'Why does she remind me of her...?'

Calming his turbulent emotions, the child reflected on his past as he got out of the bed and sat in the open courtyard, fixating his gaze on the large red moon.

' I dragged down that poor soul with my affliction. I hope and pray that atleast with my death she will move on and live for herself. '

He took some time to slowly let go his worries of his past life as he slowly embraced the new one he was blessed with.

'My father... Uchiha Takeshi!'

As he thought of his father, he involuntarily clenched his fists and his nerves almost visibly showed on his healthy white, now red, cute baby face.

"B*stard!"

It was because his father and mother didn't have any sort of love between them, it was like she was a servant for taking care of his son. He was his first son born to a concubine, it seems. He had a main wife from the ruling family who lived with him and got her respect, a position based on account of maintaining or if possible enhancing bloodline purity. And he had two other kids, two girls.

Before he got his memories, he shared the same hate for his father, for ignoring his Mom, but tolerated due to fearful respect. Respect for being a loving father, fearful for being the as*hole who placed him in a very scary illusion with his three tomoe sharingan, till he peed himself and then berated him for being a weakling...

'Atleast he is not a total as*hole, considering that he still provides for me and my mother.'

Now that he thought about this issue with the adult mind of his, he felt something was wrong somewhere.

' I recieved proper care all this time except for his attitude! If he truly hated me or her, he would have many ways to "take care" of us... Why is he acting like that then? It seems contradictory...'

As he surfed his memories, he finally found a clue.

On the day he stood up for his mother and got his butt kicked *cough*, he now noticed that his father's black coal eyes contained a hint of respect for him. And he soon understood why he said, what he said.

...

Takeshi: " If you want to know why your mother is treated like this, unlock your sharingan. Then if you want any wish that I can fulfill for you, defeat me in a battle."

He left leaving the son and mother with their own thoughts.

...

' So that's it! He wants me to grow stronger and that too fast! Unless there is a compelling reason, there is no rush for such power! Then why does he want me to be powerful and that too in a short time frame. '

Unable to come up with an answer, he thought of gaining more clues from Takeshi himself. That was when he remembered something important.

'Ah... Shit! I have to meet with him tomorrow... I better sleep! I can plot against Danzo, the rebel Uchihas and other shit later, I don't even have chakra to begin with, I'll ask father to unlock my chakra.'

'Oh... I forgot... Where the hell is my system? Why is it not activating? F*ck I may have been scammed by those system fics... Maybe it needs chakra to activate and bind. Then I'll sleep I guess...'

*sighs*

He then laid back on the bed, ducked under his blanket, and observed the red moon again, slowly closing his eyes filled with a new hope, and smiling while he whispered:

"Red moon...haha..reminds me of the Nine-tails attac..!!!"

He suddenly sat up, fearing the worst, but then relaxed as he remembered where he was in the timeline.

'Oh.. 3rd hokage is in charge with his greater good policies. No Minato among the Mountain faces. Mmm.. Guess I am safe for now.'

Then he laid back, as sleep frantically tried to pull him into its domain, he let out another question in a sleepy voice:

" What name should I go with from now onwards? It seems I have a new name for this life... Uchiha Rayzen or is it Rayzen Uchiha... whatever...it's not a bad name... not a baahhh...*yawns*"

And he surrendered to sleep.
