In the soft morning light, a gentle breeze rustled through the vibrant fields of a small farm. The air carried the earthy scent of freshly tilled soil and the promise of a new day. some tall, swaying sunflowers stood along the edges of the land.
And amidst all this a 5-year-old grasped the weathered handle of a shovel. His small fingers wrapped tightly around the worn wood, his grip unyielding despite the tool's size. With every ounce of strength, he hoisted the shovel and aimed it at a patch of untouched ground. The weight of the shovel was a challenge but he didn't mind it.
" Huff Huff ! well actually, I mind it and my body hurts like hell, damn !" U said with sweat soaking every inch of my body as I toss the hand shovel away.
'How long has it been ? 2 months ? 5 months ?' I thought as I looked at my hands thinking to myself about things that happened this half year.
Flashback/
"Huh ?!" I muttered as I stared at my father incredulously .
"What do you mean I can't use chakra ?!" I asked him angrily, demanding for an answer.
"Well, as I said earlier that you can NOT absolutely use chakra in anyways possible, you understand now ? Like, you can't control the chakra in your body at all" My dad Hiroshi replied with a sad tone while my mother was still sobbing.
"So I can't spit fireballs" I asked this time while my dreams of throwing fireballs at madara shatter little by little which irritated me, like who doesn't want to spit fireballs ? I don't know about you but I fucking wanna do that but now this Shit is getting in the of my plans.
"NoPe, not possible !" he replied, emphasizing the P.
"Even the simple clones you do or the other one where you change your appearance ?!" I ask again just to be sure.
"Nahh" he replied back with a finger in his nose.
I stand up and shout like a certain blond boy from a certain superhero academy and lunge at him then grab his collar then shout at his face with spit flying everywhere "FIX IT YOU JERK ! BRING BACK MY DREAMS !!"
"But I can't tho" He replied back while covering his face against the spits.
"Wait ! like seriously ?" I stop for a moment and asked him calmly.
He looked at me a little "Well of course, ye-"
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY YOU OLD FART ! WHEN I SAY FIX IT, IT MEANS FIX IT.T.T YOU HEAR ME ?!" I cried out.
"You had only one job, ONE FREAKING JOB ! And that's to send some chakr-" Then I started to blabber and point at him accusingly.
"Ahh, son ?" My dad said but I didn't listen.
"I trusted YOU, Damn! But you broke it and now I..." I continued talk without listening.
"I know son but..." " BUT YOU BROKE IT, B.R.O.K.E IT, FUCK !"
'GRAB'
"huh ?!" K muttered as I was suddenly grabbed by the neck.
*Swooosh*
Then I was thrown back to my bed with the legs of the bed cricking do to friction.
"LANGUAGE SPROUT !" My mother yelled angrily while staring at me terrifyingly and I stand up and stare back at her not letting her assert her dominance on the great me.
"AND YOU !" She said and pointed at my father.
"Yes ?!" My father replied with some sweat running down his face.
"Are there really nothing that you can do about this ?!" My mom said in a surprising calm tone and concerned tone.
I looked at my dad too waiting for his answer, hoping for some cure.
"Sighh, as I have said that there is nothing that we can do, I even asked a hyuga doctor to check on him but he said that he doesn't even have tenketsus in his body to feel and control his chakra, So there is no chance at all" He replied back tiredly.
"Doesn't that mean that I was born with no chakra" I asked him as that doesn't make any sense while feeling my dreams of fireballs and explosions diminish further.
"Well no, you have chakra" he said and some light came back to my eyes "But it's just a decoration for the hyuga freaks to see some colourful sparks of light in you bwahahaha !" he added then laugh at my misery and I deadpan at him.
'Sighh, so I became a disco ball huh ?' I thought as I turn to look at the window then outside and look at the Hokage mountain.
"Hehe, well you don't need to be sad son, we are a rich family and we really don't need ninjas right now. The Hatake clan depends on some farms and weapon shops and not ninjas to live, even though there are not many of us left alive but our money will last long for a long time, and if you want, you can just go and start working there on something if you feel left out and useless" He said as he flashed a smile at me.
I look at his smiling face then think about what he said especially the lack of the hatake clan members.
our clan is a small compound with some small farms here and there that only the old people work on it as a hobby nowdays.
True to his words, there are not many people left, especially the young and middle aged ones, all of them are dead because of the first ninja world war, and they didn't even leave any descendants to groom the next generation.
I focused on my dad "Sad ? No no no, you are misunderstanding something here old man" I replied back with a small arrogant smirk.
"What you mean ?" he asked curiously.
"I am not sad, just disappointed" I said calmly.
Chakra was just a boon for me to be stronger in this initial part of my life but it doesn't matter that much, really.
"Hmm!" He hummed as to say continue.
"I never wanted to be a ninja in the first place, it is just you and mother's own assuming. I never liked ninjas in the first place" I added.
"Then what about that whole drama and spitting your saliva at my face kid ?!" He replied back in irritation.
"Hehe well I really wanted to do explode somethings and do some cool jutsus" I said and continued "Anyways, I will not become a ninja BUT a Martial Artist" I declared as I puffed my chest up with a proud smirk.
"Hmmm ! well isn't that just taijutsu ?" He replied back while picking his nose in confusion.
"Watch your mouth old man, it's martial arts, ok ?! MARTIAL ARTS !" I yelled at him with a vein popping on my head.
"Yeah yeah whatever, But now, let me bring forth another problem" He said as his face became more detailed and serious which made me get curious about what he'll say.
"Soon the new year of academy will start, we should register your name !" He said and eye smiled at me
"I refuse" I replied back almost instantly.
"Baby, it will be fun you know, and you will meet new kids your age and have some friends" My mom said.
"No means no, I don't wanna go alright ?!" I replied back in annoyance.
"Sighh, son, I know you are stubborn and all but can't you listen to us for once ?" dad said tiredly while rubbing his forhead.
"And baby, you don't have any friends, you are always laying on the couch sleeping or reading some history books, it's not healthy" Mom said in sadness, almost pleading me.
I look at my mother then father for some time, contemplating about going or not as I really don't know if it will benefit me or not, I have finished university and became an IT engineer in my previous life, so it's really hard to start over again.
I have seen enough fanfictions that this elementary period is just about will of bullshit and whatnot so I prefer not going.
And for meeting the canon people ? well, there is a whole lifetime opportunity to do that, so it's really not that necessary and they are lousy and annoying kids right now so yeah, Nope not going.
I looked at my father "Is it possible to go to school at a later time like 4 to 5 years from now when I am like 10 years old ?" i asked him.
" sighh, well I have to ask the Hokage first and we will see I guess" He replied tiredly and annoyed about the extra work .
"Ok then, GOOD BYE, I AM TIRED !" I instantly replied bsck to him then go under the blanket of the bed pretending to be asleep, hoping he won't go back on his words.
"Well, the doc said you should stay here for two days or so, have a good rest son" He said which I just nod under the blanket.
"I will come back with some cookies sweety, rest until I return" My mom added with a sweet voice.
"Thanks" I muttered, so they wouldn't hear but suddenly, I felt the blanket off of me then...
*muahh*
"Don't mention it baby" She said after she kissed my cheek.
"MOM PLEASE !" I yelled in embarrassment.
"Hehe bye !" she replied cheekily and she disappeared with my dad.
I looked at the place where they left and then turned to look at my hands as I ponder for a moment before focusing very carefully as the tip of my right index finger was slowly turning black with a hint of red for a moment before going back to normal then I exhale and turned to look outside the window again then smirk arrogantly
'what's a ninja to a monster ?! '
Flashback End /
I looked at the sky where the sun was still shining bright then I slowly make way back to my house and greet some old dudes on the way before I reach my house, the same looking house kakashi and his father lived in.
'Did my parents die in the original series and left this house for sakumo to live then him to kakashi ?' I thought with a frown.
'How did they die ?' I thought about this negative thoughts and slide the front door of our house open then walk inside.
"I am home !" I said.
"Ohh Garou, welcome back !" Mom yelled in the kitchen.
"Thanks, where is father mom ?" I asked.
"Your dad went to pick up your cousin, you should go and wash yourself, you smell" Mom replied and I nod to myself.
"Okay ! so what's for lunch ?" Iasked as I slowly made my way to the bathroom.
"Miso salamon and noodles" She replied and I nod again.
I got to the bathroom and removed my clothes in front of a mirror to look at my hard musc- normal sweaty muscles.
'What ? What do you expect from a child's body ? A demon back ? That's unrealistic man' I thought in disappointment to myself as I dreamed of the day I gain the same muscles of the OG garou in the future.
Then I opened up the shower curtain and start to shower while enjoying the hot water and slowly lose myself in thoughts.
THE END
