( Author's Note : Hello guys I hope you all are doing well . Before starting the story I would like to give you some information about the main character of the story .
In this fanfiction the main character of the story will be someone with the brave and determined heart , he won't be like many other main characters from different fanfictions who are cold hearted and manipulative . At the same time the main character of this story will not be a night in shinning armour who will just give away everything he has for other people . No ! what the main character in this story will try to achieve is a balance between his own desires and aspirations and his obligations to the village and other people , a balance between his selfishness and selflessness. But keeping a balance between the two will be hard and through out the series of this fanfiction we will see him making different choices and trying to make a balance which will lead to his own character development .
So that's all I had to say for now . Hence without any further adu let's start with our magical journey .
Thank you all for reading .
Chapter : 1 : System Awekens And The Newcomers Gift Pack :
Location : Konohagakure no Sato / Hidden Leaf Village :
Konohagakure no Sato/ Hidden Leaf Village was established by the cooperation of Sanju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara which started the end of the warning states era and beginning of the new era of organised hidden shinobi villages .
Since the village's creation and the death of its first Hokage Sanju Hashirama a lot has happened. The village went through the First Great Shinobi War , the Second Great Shinobi War the Third Great Shinobi War and lastly the Forth Great Shinobi War and many terrorist attacks . But still managed not only to survive but also continued it's prosperity and save guard the will of fire .
Not only that since it's creation seven Hokages have stepped up to lead the village to prosperity and stability with the current one being the 7th Hokage .
Since the end of the Forth Great Shinobi War the world has mostly been in peace and under the leadership of these capable leaders and with the help of the villagers the village has become more prosperous and industrialised then before .
Location Change : Konohagakure's Central Park :
In this park we can see childrens of different ages playing around . Some with their parents while some with their friends and siblings .
But among this crowd a little far away we can see a boy of 4 years old sitting under a tree looking at this people with a complicated expression .
He was of course none other than our dear main character of the story Yamamoto Takeru a reincarnated person .
Yamamoto Takeru in his previous life was a normal human being from a planet called Earth .
His previous life was full of regret and hardship . His parents were nothing but an excuse . His father was a violent man whereas his mother was a weak hearted person who decided to distance herself from him and his so called father . So due to mental and physical abuses from his parents he became more and more depressed before his sudden death due to an heart attack .
But unlike what he thought he did not get meet a peaceful end , instead he suddenly woke up in the body of a 4 year old boy in a different world .
Soon after his awakening all the memories of this body came in his mind and he realised that he has reincarnated in a world different from his own in the body of a 4 year old orphan boy whose name was Yamamoto Takeru and he lived in a place called the Hidden Leaf Village / Konohagakure no Sato .
At first he was very confused as to what was going on but as the time passed on he finally rememberd that the name konaha was somewhat familiar to him. Then suddenly a idea clicked to him , as he suddenly remembered that the name Konohagakure no Sato is the name of the village of shinobis where the main character of the Naruto series Uzumaki Naruto was born , raised and lived .
This information was further proved correct when he searched around and found that the current world he was in was definitely the same shinobi world from the Naruto series . Not only that but to his surprise it would seem that unlike the Naruto series he was born in Boruto series as Naruto Uzumaki had already became the hokage .
( Authors note : Hello guys I hope all of you are doing well. So before going any further let me tell you something very important and that is that you all know that the Boruto timeline is very confusing to understand , so I will be doing some modification on this matter so I hope you can understand it . )
And judging from the timeline it seems in only 2 years Uzumaki Boruto will join the academy. That means he and Uzumaki Boruto are around the same age . And if nothing goes wrong he too well to go for the admission in the shinobi academy in two years as well .
And this is what had let him to have a down cast mode.
As a anime and manga fan it was truly a blessing for him to be reborn and given a second chance in this new world where he could unless a huge potential but unfortunately for him this is not a world where you can just go around and have a happy life .
No ! on the contrary this world is very dangerous , especially in this Boruto series different powerful individuals will come whose power surpasses that of the peak kage level by a huge margin and even if he possess future knowledge it is totally helpless as knows he can't do anything against those aliens and shinobies with cheat abilities with their bloodline and special eye powers .
And that's why he was very sad at the moment. In his previous life he died a fruitless death filled with regrets and sorrows, so in his second life when he was reborn he had a hope that he could do something , he could become the hero that he always wanted to be but reality of the situation was that just like in his previous life he was useless and in this life too .
Yes if he was like those main characters from different fanfictions who are somewhat cold hearted , only to be guided by profit and survival then maybe he could be survive the future disasters by running away or some immoral means .
But he was not like that .
He had lived a very poor and regretful life in his past life . When he was always sad and brutally harassed he always thought of a hero who will come to save him with superpowers and will take him away from that place but they never came .
But in this world where he was free from his past life's chains he had the opportunity to change something , he had the opportunity to become the hero that he always admired.
So whenever he saw the people of Konoha be it childrens or adults running in the streets , playing happily in the playground he always feel happy and sad at the same time because he knows that this is just a small moment of piece before a future that holds darkness and destruction . And regretfully he doesn't have the power to stop it , he doesn't have the power to save these smiles .
What can he do ? he wants to save these people he wants to keep these smiling faces forever , he wants to live a happy life surrounded by people who will admire him , surrounded by people who will love him and accept him , surrounded by his family that he never had .
He never totally agreed with the notion and mentality of those main characters from different stories and fanfictions who would use the people around him like some sort of NPC characters , use them for profit and only focus on their survival even if it means betraying the ones who trusted them .
Is it wrong to serve the place you were born in ? Is it wrong to die and sacrifice yourself for the people you love for the people who trusted you here for your family ? Is it wrong to to fight like a brave warrior instead of running away like a coward ?
No it is not wrong .
But at the same time is it so wrong to think about yourself ? Is it so wrong to be selfish sometimes ? Is it so wrong to be afraid of death ? Is it so wrong think about your own survival ?
No it is not wrong either .
Yamamoto Takeru thinks that both of the mentalities are not wrong because if he does run away like a coward , if he truly uses people around him like a pawn only for his survival and profit then how is he different from his useless parents and all those bullies from his previous life . But at the same time it is also not wrong to be afraid of death , it is also not wrong to be a little selfish it is also not wrong to think about yourself after all if you yourself die as a weakling how are you going to save the people around you , if you are not strong enough yourself how are you going to protect your loved ones around you .
What he truly believes is in the balance , yes balance between the two side .
He won't be the kind of golden shinng armour that are to only to be used by others but at the same time he won't be a cold hearted manipulator who only knows how to use others for his own profit . Instead he will keep a balance between good and evil , between his personal wants and his duty for others .
But the cold reality was that it doesn't matter what he tries , how much talent he has and how much dedication he gives the huge possibility is that he will be likely unable to do anything in front of those powerful beings who will appear in the future .
" Ding ! "
But just as he was contemplating the future a sudden voice in his head brought him out of his thinking .
Suddenly a blue box appeared in front of him and a female voice was heard in his head .
" Ding ! System Opening .... In .... 1....2....3....4.... Congratulations Host your Profecy system has been activated . "
Hearing this Miyamoto's eyes suddenly burst open in shook . It would seem that his golden finger has finally arrived .
But what does The Prophecy system means .
And as if sensing his question the system quickly answered.
" System Notification : This world is currently in danger of destruction . Various factors and forces are intertwined and are causing disturbance to the natural flow of this world hence the host has been chosen by the Profecy system to become the next son of prophecy and save this world .
" "
After reading the system notification Yamamoto Takeru was in confusion .
" So system does that mean I will have to be like those night and shining armour and save this world by giving personal sacrifices . " - he asked .
" System Notification : To answer your question host no you don't have to be like a night and signing armour and save humans to become a symbol of hope and justice . Know the world doesn't discriminate between an Otsutsuki or a human . You can take any side you want you can do anything you want .
But what the system truly wants is for you to do is to save this world or to be more precise try to save this world by following the guidance of the system or by changing the major events that going to happen in this world. And by what means you do so is irrelevant to the system .
Note carefully that system is only a guide and aid to you in your cause , it doesn't necessary specifies your judgement , will or actions . So you can decide to save this world or you can just decide to save yourself it doesn't matter to the system .
If you decide to only save yourself then the system will give you a newcomers gift and will disappear forever but if you decide to save this world or try your best to save this world by using the system guidance then you will be able to access the system from now on .
But having the system doesn't mean you will be able to achieve victory in every battle and save this world as you will not have the famous plot armour . In fact the system doesn't require that what system truly requires is for you to try your best to save this world . So the decision is yours to make host .
" "
After reading the system notification Yamamoto Takeru sighed in relief . As he had said earlier he was unwilling to live like a coward and had the resolve to fight like a warrior but at the same time he didn't wish to become a knight in shining armour who only sacrifices for others without thinking about himself . He wanted a balance and according to the system notification he could achieve this balance . He could become the saviour of this world the new son of prophecy and fullfill his own personal desires and wishes at the same time .
But the most important thing that he noticed in the system notification is that the it was clearly mentioned that he didn't have to save the world because having the system doesn't mean he will be able to to so but what he had to do was try his best to save it . This however bore 2 meanings for him - one bad and one good .
The good one is that the system will help him throughout his journey and will have a lot of liberty to do whatever he feels like but at the same time the down side of this is that he will not get the plot armour that most of the main characters of the story gets .
But whatever anything is better than nothing right .
" "
Ding ! System Notification : Host do you accept the system's offer of becoming the next son of prophecy . - Yes / No .
" "
' Yes ' - Miyamoto Musashi gave a decisive mental command .
"
Ding ! System Notification : Congratulations for accepting the system's offer . Host has received newcomers opening gift pack :
( 1 ) Senju Hashirama character template - ( current mastery 1 percent ) .
( 2 ) Kawarimi no jutsu / Body Replacement technique scroll .
( 3 ) Unknown Lottary Ticket .
( 4 ) Skill Inventory granted .
" "
( Author's Note : Hello guys I hope all of you are doing well . So before going any further I have some things to say. There are three reasons why I have chosen Senju Hashirama template for the main character of the story from the start .
The first reason is being that I have already stated the power level of this friction will be higher than usual . At first I wanted to reincarnate the main character as the son of Uchiha Sasuke and give him the power of the sharingan but then I decided it would be more exciting for him to have the power of wood release .
The second reason why I choose to give Senju Hashirama template to the main character is because I think it's pretty cool . Not only was the god of shinobi powerful but his also cool . I mean just think about it ' a man who will surpass Senju Hashirama and his successor the next master of wood release ' that would be cool to hear right .
The third reason is plot . Think about it for the longest of time the Senju clan has almost vanished having only one remaining member left but suddenly a person with wood release and Senju blood arise , not only will he get more attention but also favor from the higher ups . If it were the time where the people like Shimura Danzo were alive then having this power might have been a dangerous gamble but since the time has changed and currently peace has enveloped the shinobi world it is not dangerous for him to have such power especially when Uzumaki Naruto is the hokage . )
After seeing the gift pack , especially Sanju Hashirama template Yamamoto Takeru couldn't help but shout out loud in excitement and started dancing like a crazy monkey . It was a good thing that when the system notification first arrived he had already walked into a separate corner of the park where almost no one came so his actions was not noticed by the others .
And truthfully he had good enough reason to be so much happy . Who was Sanju Hashirama ? the god of shinobi .
And now Musashi had the chance to become as strong as Hashirama . No ! with the system's help and his knowledge of the future , creative mind and other things he totally had the chance of not only becoming a strong as Senju Hashirama but surpass him .
After calming down a bit he looked at the Kawarimi no jutsu / Body Replacement technique scroll that has been automatically stored in his inventory , but after some thinking he decided to leave it there and go through it next day because right now he had another much more exciting prize to open .
" "
Ding ! Would you like to open the unknown Lottary Ticket - Yes / No .
" "
" Yes ! " - he said out loud in excitement .
" "
Ding ! You have used the unknown Lottary Ticket : Results will be obtained in 5 seconds : 1...2...3...4...5... Results obtained : Congratulations you have received Miyamoto Musashi template from Baki series .
" "
After seeing the second template Yamamoto Takeru was pleasantly surprised . Although Miyamoto Musashi from baki series was not even close when compared to Senju Hashirama but that doesn't mean he was weak . Infact he can be considered one of the greatest swordman in the anime history if judged purely on the basis of swordsmanship and sword technique . And if added added with the mysterious power of chakra then it's effectiveness and power of this character template will skyrocket .
After seeing his gift pack and some time of consideration he went back to his orphanage as it was already getting late. After getting back to his all friend is he had a normal time not showing any strange behaviour as do not allow any suspicion from the orphanage authorities .
After going to bed however he only acted to be a sleep while his eyes and mind were both fully opened with excitement and joy .
That night it was a sleepless night for Yamamoto Takeru as he couldn't wait to start training with his new found powers anymore .
The thought of becoming the next son of prophecy a man admired by all and fighting against strong opponents made him excited as finally closed his eyes and mumbled a last line before going to a deep and peaceful slumber .
" From now onwards I am the new son of prophecy . "
To be continued .
