My greatest advantage in my reincarnation to this world is the fact that I know a lot of the future events that will come to be.
If the tailed beast attack took place a year ago and if I'm five years old then I should be around four years older than Naruto.
When it comes to Naruto, I would rather stay away from him for now because he is being heavily watched by the Anbu. Until I can properly take on Danzo and his Anbu I should not try to make a big change in his life. Once I have the power to go against I can intervene in Naruto's life freely.
Another event I have too watch out for which is coming sooner is the Uchiha Massacre. It should happen around when Naruto is seven or eight which means I have some time too be able to intervene in that event. I don't think I will be able to though since Itachi and Obito are extremely formidable foes.
Hmm.. I don't think I'd be able to meddle in any major events just yet that will come later on when Naruto becomes a Genin, I will be sixteen years old at that point, I think I would have decently formidable strength.
This is all for the future though, lets think about the present.
Even though I know about Naruto I doubt I can learn how to control my chakra and preform jutsus just from that knowledge alone I should read some material from this world on that topic.
One issue I can see coming right now is my mother. I don't know if I'll be able to play the part of a child well at all. I can definitely try because I have the memoires of Rajin Makoto which will make it decently easier.
All I can do there is try my best to act like Rajin. I doubt my Mother will suspect anything since it would be a stretch to say that Rajin has been taken over by another person from another world. At most she will chalk it up to me having a personality change since my father died.
Okay now that that's settled I need too see how much talent this body has. Rajin's father Kita Makoto was a strong Jounin within the village, he didn't have any bloodline ability but he was a expert in using long range fire techniques, it was almost on the level of the likes of the Uchiha or the Sarutobi Clan. He was also known for his Kenjutsu technique's on top of that. He was able to cover both his long range and close range abilities which made for a strong combination.
If I had to guess I would most likely have a fire affinity and maybe something else from my mother, although I don't know what she has an affinity with.
If I truly do have no bloodline abilities that leaves me with a few paths that I can go down to make sure I reach Kage level one day.
Seals.
Minato Namikaze is a perfect example of someone who was able to become extremely strong through the use of seals. The flying Rajin is one of the most broken abilities in this world if used correctly. Sealing Jutsu in general is strong even at the lower levels. He also has something that I should get if I want to match the strongest on this world.
Sage Mode.
If I can get Sage Mode perfected I will instantly become one of the top combatants in the entire world. Sage Mode naturally also lets you have access too summoning which is an extremely strong ability to have. This is definitely going to be one of my main ways of getting power the only issue with this is I have to find the toads of Myoboku or another Sage creature. I would also have to pass their tests alongside that which adds another layer of difficulty.
Another one which seems unrealistic at this point is -
Becoming a jinchuriki.
Usually you have to be new born and then get the Tailed Beast sealed inside of you for that too work and not just kill you so It seems really out of reach for now. Maybe there is a way to gain a fraction of that strength somehow.
This next path is a path not a lot of people would think about because it would be closed off too them.
The path of Science.
This is path Orochimaru took. He wasn't all that successful since his main goal was to get the Sharingan but he failed in the end. He was extremely successful in other aspects such as the curse mark. Maybe there is something there, I feel I have the intelligence to at least learn how to do the things he has done.
This is the last one and the one most likely to be the hardest and have the least amount of chance of making me Kage level.
Training one skill to it's limits.
This is the toughest one. The reason this is the case is because there are a variety of fighting styles in this world and going full blast on one feels like the wrong answer. Look at the current Kage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, The Professor. He learned almost all of the Jutsu available to him which made him become extremely adaptable to any situation and made him who he is today. One successful story in that is Tobirama Senju who used water Jutsu to the limit. It's just not as common. If it comes down to that then I will but I would rather explore my other options first since they seem like they have more potential, especially sealing since I can start that now.
There also the other paths such as Kenjutsu or Taijutsu. I will get those to an acceptable level but I most likely won't be putting too much stock into those types of jutsu.
Let's head to the library first and see what I can start to learn there.
