Chapter 2 - Rebirth and War

The next thing I knew was being warm and wet, followed by discomfort. Something was squeezing loud whining comiing me from all sides. Loud noises came from somewhere, yet I could not discern from where. Am I getting taken to the new world like this? Urgh, how fucked up is that?

Then suddenly coldness assaulted me. The warmth was gone and it was cold. I must be out of my mother. I tried to breathe, but it was hard. It almost pained me to suck the air in.I decided to call for help but all i got was ....a

"Waaa waa" hearing the voice coming out of my mouth i instantly became confused.

"Congratulations its a boy." The voice of an old lady entered his ears.

(Eve Why am i a baby i chose to become a toddler)

[don't worry the time as a baby will be skipped in your mind but this is a chance god gave where you get a look at your parents before tragedy strikes remember your still a cursed soul]

Crap with everything from before i forgot i'm cursed shit well better see where i am i know i chose clan but where are they this house looks small and dirty and there's fog everywhere were are we in nature?

huh whats this warm sensation around my body.

"A curious little thing aren't you? Your father isn't here yet so we can't decide your name. He wanted a son so I'm sure he will be happy."

The woman held me to her chest and closed her eyes, she must be exhausted because her breathing soon became steady as she fell asleep.

This is going to be a lot more dangerous than i thought, closing my eyes i tried to organize my thoughts. As my eyes closed, a menu appeared on the left side of my vision.

Name:[]

Title:Flower Fruit Clan/Rose Branch Young Master

Bloodline:Flower Clan(Rose),God Tree Veins

Age:4 hours

Live Points:100%

Chakra Points:100%

[Right Away Partner]

The status of Partner shows every important information about you. From Name to Bloodline, Age, Attributes, Title and current level.

Titles may give bonus attributes or have other effects on the User and his surroundings.

Level;

Raising your level is the utmost way to gain power above training. This works with the experience point system. you will gain experience points for finishing quests or killing living things. Once the experience reaches a set threshold you will level up and gain 10 soul points. you will then have to gain more experience points to reach the next level. Each new level needs more experience points than the level before. Each lived year will also grant a level.

Soul Points;

Soul Points can be used to increase your attributes, Jutsu Mastery, Skill Mastery or Elemental Control. They can also be earned through quests and leveling up. Each level provides 10 Soul points Points.

I get it so as my guide you keep track of all theese things for me while letting me use them right.

[correct partner that's exactly what i do]

okay anymore things to explain to me before i pass out even with my blood line i'm still a baby.

[Right]

If Life Points drop to 0 you have died.

If Stamina Points drop to 0 you will be unable to use skills or move fast. Use of Stamina Skills below 0 will use Life Points instead.

If Chakra Points drop to 0 you will be unable to use any kind of Jutsu. The use of Jutsu below 0 will use Life Points.

Strength;

Strength is a numerical value of the User's strength. It is important for every physical activity. Be it fighting or breathing. Strength increases physical damage. It increases the number of Life Points.

Endurance;

Endurance is a numerical value for the User's pain threshold and physical damage resistance. Every activity can harm the body. Endurance acts against poisons, illness and physical harm Endurance also governs growth of body.

It also increases the regeneration, as well as the amount of Chakra, Stamina and Life Points.

Intelligence;

Intelligence is a numerical value for the User's academic skill. The ability to remember, learn and adapt. It is important for every time the user thinks and tries to comprehend something. It also increases the regeneration of Chakra and acts against mental tiredness. In conjunction with endurance it lowers the costs of Chakra skills and increases the amount of Chakra Points.

Reflex;

Reflex is a numerical value of the User's speed and flexibility. It is important for all bodily movements and determines, in conjunction with endurance, how cost intensive Stamina skills are. It increases the amount of Stamina Points.

Charisma;

Charisma is a numerical value for your physical attractiveness and trustworthiness. Every interaction with a living being uses charisma. A low value makes the User scary or untrustworthy. A high skill allows the User to influence others to the User's liking.

Luck;

Luck is a numerical value for your worldly luck. Everything is slightly influenced by luck. A lucky person may survive a killing blow, find useful things or win in gambling. Unlucky people will get more often sick, find themselves in dangerous situations more often and will have generally an unlucky life.]

Luck definitely was the best option to choose, as was endurance. Both are extremely important. The first because it influences everything, the second because it has a role in all my energy bars.Charisma was useful too don't want my own parents not to want me and reflex is simple it's always good to flexible as a ninja.

Ahh my head hurts from all these numbers i need a break Opening my eyes i came back to the real world, looking around i was not sure if time paused or not. Looking at the blanket wrapping me up an idea popped into my head. Grabbing the blanket i imagined it going into my inventory, and sure enough it disappeared. Closing my eyes i saw the blanket listed in my inventory right next to my starter kit. right blanket, selecting to equip it i felt the blanket appear on his body again.

As i calmed down and came to the reality of his new situation i realized i need to learn more about what my guide Eve does to my body again focusing and closing my eyes i think the question to my guide.

(Eve explain the jutsu leveling system along with perks)

[right away]

[Jutsu and Skills;]

[Besides the status menu you also has a skill menu. Every learned skill is listed inside the skill menu. Currently you have no learned skills as they are locked behind your bloodline. The menu will be available after learning a single skill.

Skills grow in strength with use, they rise in Skill Mastery. High mastery reduces the Stamina consumption and increases the effect or damage of a skill.

Skills can be risen by training or Soul Points.

Next to the skill menu is the Jutsu menu. It acts on the same principles as the skill menu, only that Jutsu use Chakra.

There are Jutsu and skills that use both, those are listed under Jutsu and have a shared mastery. One such Jutsu are the Eight Gates of Death.]

[Perks;]

[you can acquire Perks during you life here. Those can be gained through special actions, the increase of attributes above a special threshold or by wearing Legendary gear. Some Perks are beneficial to you others a hindrance, a few can be both. For viewing your Perks think 'Perk List'.]

I did just that and a list of my Perks came in front of my inner eye.

Perks of [];

{Infant; Babies are cute, it's their only defence. Req. younger than 5, Charisma >20

- Being a baby gives you a bonus of +20 in charisma.

- This bonus will lower while growing up}.

{Lucky Shot; Req. 20 Luck,}

[It might be a skill, it might be luck, who knows.

20% more critical damage.]

Body of a nature; You have the body of a flower..

- You have 15% more Life Points than normal people.

- You'll heal 10% faster than normal people.

- You regenerate Chakra 10% quicker in nature.

- You have a better knowledge of the body than others +15 in medical

- You have 50% more Stamina during day and lose the same amount at night.

Life Blood-Your blood can heal all wounds except your own leading to rapid blood loss even from small cuts

Tree Baby-All injures can be healed just by being surronded by plants you also get a second perk for free for the peace and love man{Life Blood}

Well, those are useful. None of them sounds overly OP, with the exception of Gamers Body. But Body of Nature and Lucky Shot are working with %. That means the stronger I get the greater the difference. And 20% more critical damage is fucking good.

Okay, what's next. I think Titles and my Inventory are left. What an info dump.

Titles;

They are given to those who have done special actions or are in special positions. Each title has different effects and can be positive, negative or both. Think 'Title List' to access your titles.

Title List

cursed soul;

As a cursed soul you'll never be happy for more than 10 years and won't experience tragedy for more than 3 all pain is doubled...Permentantly On

Heir of the Flower Clans Rose Family;

As one of the heirs of the Flower clan, you will be viewed upon with respect by everyone positively inclined to Kiri and kumo. However, those who have a negative opinion of Kiri or your clan may be quicker to act hostile -50% Rep from konoha.

Flowers Vengence;You get a 50% endurance bonus against anyone from konoha and a 80% more strength bonus against uchiha.but you also gain -100% Stealth,luck,and,charisma in the land of fire

Yeah, not really great. I mean Heir of the Rose Clan may be useful but can be as much a hindrance. and the flowers vengence title can at most be used on three people unless i go to war with the leaf hmm maybe. I don't know if only the activated title shows its effects or if all of them are constantly active. Welp, can't do much about it anyway, let's continue with the inventory.

Inventory;

The inventory is an extra dimension for the User to store his stuff. It stores anything up to the size of the User and time stops working on the stored item. Your money will also be stored inside the inventory, as well as any quest rewards.

For accessing your inventory think 'Open Inventory'.

[With that, the guided tour has ended and i'll see you again when your five years old bye partner the status and inventory will be availible but other feature such as titles,perks,and,bloodline will not]

wait Eve don't go what will i do i don't wanna be here alone.....eve

After three hours i felt myself being moved on her lap looking up

my mother's eyes began to tremble and slowly opened. She looked panicky at first before noticing i was still in her arms.

"Sorry sweety mommy was tired and took a nap, thanks for being a good boy and not falling." A sweet smile formed on her face as she began to move off the bed.

Carrying me in her arms she rose to her feet.

"How long was I sleep? Where's your papa? I hope everything is ok."

Looking at the woman stand up caused my eyes to go wide, did she just sleep off giving birth?

She walked towards the door and slowly opened it. Looking out the door, a light mist came into view, along with the mist came the faint smell of blood.

She carried me outside and i got a better view. Tall stone cylinder shaped buildings littered the mountain area, far off into the distance one building was noticeably bigger than the others. i couldn't see the fine details due to all the mist.

Not seeing anything amiss she walked back into the room. Shutting the door she moved to sit back onto the bed. Holding me her new child under her arms she looked me in the face.

Looking at my mother in the eye as i tried to figure out what she up to.

"Boga boga boga" sticking out her tongue while making a strange face she began to shake her head.

Looking at this woman i felt a little strange, is she crazy?

Seeing no reaction she frowned slightly.

"Boga boga boga" she repeated the same process.

Crap that's right i'm still a newborn baby.

"Gaaa gaa" putting on a fake smile i laughed a bit, i didn't want her thinking i was strange and kill him, this is the bloody mist village after all.

"Hehe, that's my boy." Pulling me into her chest she gave me a hug. As she does the door suddenly opened.

A tall Pale man with a stern look walked through the door. He was wearing black and Blue pants with high rise ninja boots, a dark blue shirt with diagonal black lines and a Rose embedded on the sleeve, and a ninja headband with four diagonal lines across it.

Seeing her husband caused my mothers eyes to light up while seeing the headband cause mine to shimmer.

Standing up she rushed towards the man. "Honey look, it's our son" her eyes beam as she looked at her husband.

Looking at me and my mom i could see he found it hard not to be happy but the look on his face spoke the clan comes first. "Sabu, I have some bad news, Iwa is attacking Konoha. They infiltrated Kusa and are laying siege to their borders, a war is coming." As he finished his sentence the color drained from my mother who i guess is called Sabu's face.

Stumbling backward she fell onto the bed. Looking at her husband with hope she struggled to open her mouth.

"Shion there's no reason for us to fight in a war again right??" Hope filled her eyes as she practically pleaded with him while rubbing her wedding ring.

He gently shaked his head. "As far As I know you won't be participating." He began gnashing his teeth "But the different clan heads see this as an opportunity, because we are in an declining state after retreating here.with many islands we are hard to attack, while the other nations are busy with each other the clan see this as an opportunity to seize back our territory." taking a deep breath and wiping a tear he looked at his wife.

"The clan wants us to head back and survive the war on the mainland."

"But we will be safe here! What about our son?!?" Rising to her feet she threw her ring at him while going into a rage about how bad the clans and the leaf are for seperating their family.

"I see." He turned around slowly while gripping his wedding ring "Our clan future comes first, and so i need to go protect our newborn son or i could stay and let the leaf win which with danzo the basterd still alive which won't help us survive. Times are only going to get worse,But you won't have to live through them."

"You didn't even give him a name." Between the soft cries, she mumbled softly.

Opening the door he walked out but not before stopping to whisper his name to him and hiding a note."Shun".

Tears began streaming down her face as she held her son tight, a soft cry left her lips.

Looking at my father who just left, and a crying mother, i'm starting to feel a pain in my chest.

My dad even though i only seen him for a few minutes i can tell he cares about us he just won't show it not at a time where us hating him could stop us from going with him in the war. But i need to reach that note wait..Inventory

[{Heart Felt Note} added to inventory]

Yes i got it but i can't speak or read japenese yet but when i can i'll reach you father,but for now i'll do my best to protect mom for you.

//////////////////Sabu POV/////////////////////

Clutching My child to my chest i had to sit back down on the bed. Looking into his calm eyes caused me to calm down.

"Maybe the war will be short? But It's just you and me now, but we will be ok."

Rising to my feet, we headed towards the door.

"I need to talk to my girl"

Looking at shun and seeing the worry on his little face i felt conflicted. i wanted to comfort him, but he won't understand most of my talk enough to feel calm all he knows is that his father left us for the war i'll have to explain it to him.

Leaving the room we headed a little towards the left, noticing the door and how shun looked around i the apartment complex. The walkway had a gentle curve to it, proving this building was cylinder shaped as well.

I hesitated before knocking on Tsubaki's door lightly. After a few seconds, the door opened slowly. A young blue haired woman with milky twin peaks covered by a barely clean off white undershirt peeked through the cracks i still can't beleive how pretty she is the only one person i know can make broke look good.

"Sabu!" Seeing Me Tsubaki opened the door completely. "You just had your baby?!?"

Looking at Tsubaki I noticed that she too was holding a baby.

"Right,Shion just left, he said there's going to be a war, have you heard anything?"

Hearing me caused Tsubaki's mood to visible worsen.

"Come inside, Basura just left as well." moving back she opened a path into the room.

As we entered the room, i noticed that it was decorated basically the same as the one we lived in.

I walked over to a chair and sat down, and at the same time, tsubaki sat on the bed.

"Tsubaki what did you hear? Shion said he's going back to our clan, did Basura leave as well?" I looked at tsubaki while hugging our sons to my chest.

Tsubaki slowly shook her head before slowly opening her mouth. "He said times are going to get tough, while it's not completely safe in Kiri, he thought it would be safer for me and kurōbā here, so he left

"Shion wasn't that nice about it." I took a slight breath as my eyes redden a little. "I feel like he abandoned me, us."

Tsubaki's face fell a little, looking at the baby she smiled again. "What's his name?"

"Name? Shion gave him a name as he left but i don't wanna use it since he didn't even stay with us but it's all he left for our baby so i decided for shun to at least be his middle name as Shion's Legacy." I gently shaked my head while crying a little more remember my dear husband.

"I see well shun is good but he needs a first name" said tsubaki obviously trying to change the subject so i let her.

"I know but i can't decide" i told tsubaki my honest feelings

"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's give him a name." Trying to liven up the atmosphere, she put on a bright smile, revealing her shark-like teeth.

I cheered up a bit. "You have any ideas?"

"Hmm" Tsubaki put a finger on her lips "How about Kuroyuri?"

I thought for a moment. "He was born during the beginning of a waring period and will save the clan acorrding to Shion, and Kuroyuri doesn't seem grand or heroic enough. The strongest members from the first war had long and poetic names." Thinking for a moment, she looked at her child and he looked at her. "How about Asamio?"

"No way not manly enough how about Kigiku a name fit for a king or maybye Asagao as a statement of his will" damn tsubaki sounded smart and the names did sound good

"i still cant decide so well say a name and see which one he likes" yes this is the only real way to know since i can't decide let's let the baby.

Putting our sons on the bed with tsubaki i began to call the names we decided on and to see how he'd react.

"Kuroyuri" when i said it he looked mad so off the list

"Asamio" he didn't even react to wich really hurt my pride as a mom seeing both names i suggested not be liked by my own child.

"Kigiku"made him turn around but not much of a responce so it was a dud i hope the last one works or he'll be shun all his life.

"Asagao" expecting nothing i was suprised when my little boy started to giigle and smile at the name tsubaki picked for him my pride as a mother was completely destroyed

tsubaki nodded her head. "A powerful name,Morning Glory, that sounds nice."

"Then it's settled, Asagao, my little man" her eyes formed into slits as she smiled.

"Waaaa waaaa waaaa" Suddenly kurōbā woke up and began crying.

"It's ok honey, shh shh, it's ok." Tsubaki began rocking her arms.

Seeing this, I rose to her feet. "tsubaki, we need to rely on each other now, I won't impose on you any longer but if you need anything come and find me."

"Same to you Sabu, I've been a mom for a couple months longer than you so if you need any advice come find me."

I nodded slightly and headed for the door.

Returning to our room, I laid Asagao on the bed while i walked over and sat at the desk.

"With Shion gone, I need to figure out how to pay for our expenses without his Clinic money."
