Garaa (1558 words)
„So, you want me to reincarnate into the narutoverse as an already existing character but wont tell me which one, is that correct?"
The one who asked this question is a male, featureless, humanoid silhouette and he directed this question to an old man with long white beard who sits behind a simple office table on a chair.
"Not entirely, you can wish for three things before I send you off." The old man's voice was calm and even as he answered the slightly annoyed sounding humanoid silhouette.
"Right, three wishes, just out of curiosity, I can't wish for the three big O's, right?" His voice didn't hold any actual hope as he asked this.
Instead of saying anything the old man just shakes his head.
"Okay, so no absolutely overpowered wishes." The silhouette says, more to himself than to the old man.
After a while thinking he started to speak again.
"My first wish is for each cell in my new body to be able to collect, absorb, refine and use natural energy completely autonomously."
Staring at the old mans face to see his reaction regarding his wish the male silhouette waits patiently till the old man accepted his first wish with a short nod.
"As for my second wish, I want an absurdly strong intuition, not only regarding battle, but also regarding research, crafting and jutsu creation."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small frown appeared on the old mans face.
The space in which the two are located grew silent for a few minutes before the male silhouette got a slow accepting nod from the old man.
Releasing a sigh of relief that everything was going like planed till now the silhouette continues to state its last wish.
"Lastly, I want the ability to create parallel minds that are all connected together while able to act independently."
With his last wish laid down, the male silhouette lets his shoulders slump in exhaustion.
Talking to the old man was taxing, even though he looked like a simple old man, the male silhouette was very sure that there was nothing remotely human about this old man.
Instead it felt more like the old man in front of him was nothing more than a finger puppet of something bigger, scarier and much, much more terrifying that out of consideration for the him didn't show itself.
"Good, I grant your three wishes, now off you go and have fun." As the old man spoke these words the male silhouette could feel his consciousness fade.
Before he completely lost consciousness the male silhouette slowly kneeled down on the ground and pressed his head against the ground.
"Thank you very much for this second chance, I wont every forget this miracle you granted me." Raising his head to look at the old man behind the office table, the male silhouette couldn't help but brightly smile at him.
"Farewell and thank you again." With that everything went black and he lost consciousness.
Gazing at the rapidly fading body of the male silhouette the old man couldn't help but grin.
"What a nice guy, I sincerely hope he enjoys his time in that world." After saying that the white space in which the old man and the now completely faded male silhouette previously talked cracked and shattered only leaving darkness and two glowing white eyes.
Sunagakure, one of the five great hidden villages and known as the village hidden in the sand was currently very busy.
Karura, the wife of Rasa the fourth and current Kazekage of the village was giving birth to her third child.
Upon orders from Rasa, Chiyo a counsellor of Suna, sealed the one-tails Shukaku into the still unborn child causing it to be born prematurely.
The ordeals of this birth weakened Karura greatly and she died soon after giving birth but not before giving her third child its name, Gaara.
While the last bit of her life left her body Karura vowed to Gaara that she would always protect him.
And so, the birth of Gaara the jinchūriki of the one tail came to an end.
Laying inside a crib in a strongly guarded room is Gaara with his spiky auburn colored hair and black eye-rings.
'Well, FU*K!' Opening his green eyes Gaara curses in his mind as he starts processing his current situation.
'Im Gaara now, huh, and I got Shukaku sealed inside of me. Neat. Then there is my, only slightly, insane father who likes to send assassins after his own child. Great! Truly, this world is messed up.' Complaining to himself for a moment Gaara manages to calm down.
'No matter, I'm already here so I can only try my best, can't I?' Releasing a sigh he pushes most of his worries to the side and tries to focus on the things he can currently do.
'My body is currently still very weak so I can only wait till I grow a bit older or till my cells absorb enough natural energy to strengthen me. Concerning chakra, I also can't do anything, the pathetic whisp I currently have isn't even enough to circulate it and I can't access Shukaku's chakra as it would kill me because of how weak my body is.' Closing his eyes again Gaara relaxes a bit.
'This only leaves me with my ability to create parallel minds and maybe communicating with Shukaku and rely on my intuition to analyze the seal keeping him inside me.' His options laid bare before him Gaara decides to first throw himself into the creation of a parallel mind, once he had one, he could split his attention between crating more parallel minds and entering his mindscape where Shukaku and the seal are located.
With him previously unknown dedication Gaara starts to work diligently on this project.
Because of his young age he had to sleep a lot, but even then he managed to create his first parallel mind shortly before he turned one year old.
'Damn that took long, but hell was it worth it.' Grinning widely at his success in creating his first parallel mind Gaara enjoyed the feeling of being able to think into two completely different directions while still being able to keep track of both of them.
'With this I will be able to continue creating more minds while finally getting a look at Shukaku and the seal. If I start now I might actually be able to get to know him a bit and form a friendship with him.' While thinking he followed his intuition on how to enter his mindscape where Shukaku was sealed.
Appearing inside what looked like a giant sewer Gaara looks around before wrinkling his nose at the depressing look of this place.
'No wonder most of the biju's have bad personalities, after being sealed in such a place over and over again who wouldn't be pissed or annoyed.' Tracing his eyes over the walls, roof and wet floor he finally notices his reflection in the water below him.
Instead of reflecting a barely one year old baby it showed a around 13-year-old boy with short spiky dark red hair and black rings around his green eyes.
He wears a long-sleeved crimson coat and full-length dark grey trousers with two of lighter colored bands on each leg and ninja sandals. Over the coat he wears two buckled belts, a grey vest held in place by a single strap over his left shoulder, and two buckled belts.
'Why do I look like future Gaara after he became Kazekage?' Slightly puzzled at this he inspects himself a bit more.
After confirming that he really looks like the original kage Gaara except that he was missing the kanji for "love" over his left eye, he started walking deeper into the sewer like mindscape.
After a while walking Gaara started feeling an invisible weight pushing down on his shoulders.
Ignoring the feeling he advances till he arrived in an expanse where in the middle of it, bound to a giant boulder by thick chains, a giant tanuki like creature seemingly made out of sand and covered in black seals is sleeping.
The sheer size of his body already causes Gaara to freeze up, this combined with the terrible heavy aura radiating off him, it was no wonder people regarded the biju's as monsters.
As if he noticed Gaara's presence the eyes of the creature snap open, and he loud starts to speak.
"WHAT ARE YOU BRAT DOING HERE?!!" His loud, but child like voice causes strong winds to blow through the room which almost three Gaara to the ground.
'Well, he's pretty loud I guess.' Trying to collect his bearing again Gaara took a deep breath before taking a step forward.
"My name is Gaara, I'm your current host." After the words went over his lips he couldn't control himself any longer.
"I honestly wanted to meet you for a long time, but till a few moments ago I still had some work to do so my visit had to wait. Anyway, mind to introduce yourself?"
What he said was the truth, since he realized he has reincarnated as Gaara and thus had the ichib sealed inside himself he wanted to meet the legendary creature.
Gaara's friendly introduction seems to have thrown off Shukaku greatly, he didn't expect
