He remembers what happened in the black space. After thinking about it for a while, he began assessing his current situation—where he was, and the condition of his body. There was a nagging feeling that something wasn't right with his baby body, especially after experiencing that intense pain.
'Hey, Wisdom Core. What's the current condition of my body, and why did I experience that hellish pain? Also, how much time has passed since I came into this world?' He asked his questions mentally, speaking to the Wisdom Core he had created with all his heart and soul. He also wanted to make sure the skill was working as intended, as he had used two of his wishes to form it.
In response, a mechanical female voice echoed in his mind.
'ANSWER: NINE MONTHS, ONE DAY, TWELVE HOURS, TWENTY MINUTES, AND FOUR SECONDS HAVE PASSED. THE PAIN YOU EXPERIENCED WAS DUE TO YOUR BODY BEING ARTIFICIALLY CREATED BY COMBINING AND IMPLANTING MULTIPLE GENES.'
Hearing the mechanical voice, he felt a small sense of relief. It was working just as he had intended. He continued listening as the Wisdom Core provided more details.
'ARTIFICIALLY CREATED BY COMBINING AND IMPLANTING MULTIPLE GENES. THIS CAUSED YOUR BODY—'
'Stop, stop, stop… Don't explain it to me in scientific terms. Make it simpler so I can actually understand it,' he interrupted. He knew the Wisdom Core was about to go into details that would fly over his head, so he asked it to explain in a way he could grasp what was causing the pain in his body.
The Wisdom Core paused for a moment before starting its explanation again.
'ANSWER: YOUR BODY IS BREAKING DOWN AND HEALING ITSELF AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLE IMPLANTED GENES. YOUR CHAKRA SYSTEM CANNOT SUPPORT THEM ALL, WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE IN PAIN.'
Now that the explanation was easier to follow, he started to understand the situation. His body was breaking down and healing itself simultaneously, and the chakra circuits couldn't support the combination of genes inside him. That was why he had been in such agony.
Shocked and panicked by the realization that his body was breaking down, he feared he might die at any moment. But after a few minutes, he calmed himself down. He wasn't dead yet, so there had to be a way to fix this. Clearing his mind, he started thinking over the Wisdom Core's words. His body was created by combining multiple genes, and the chakra system couldn't handle all of them. If his body tried to use chakra, it would only support one gene, neglecting the others, which could lead to his body breaking down further.
After processing this, he felt relieved that he had created the Wisdom Core. It was going to be incredibly helpful in dealing with this kind of situation.
'So, is there any way you can restructure the genes in my body so they can function properly, and I can use chakra?' he asked, hopeful that his skill would provide a solution and allow him to live this second life to its fullest.
'ANSWER: AFFIRMATIVE. WISDOM CORE IS ALREADY REPAIRING YOUR BODY IN A WAY THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE ALL THE GENES' ABILITIES WITHOUT SUFFERING ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS.'
Hearing this, he felt immense joy. He had created such an amazing skill that could assist him through any challenge. And it wasn't just static—it would grow and evolve along with him, becoming a powerful part of his being.
Now that he knew his body was being fixed, he turned his thoughts to his current situation. What kind of world had he been reborn into? Where was he now? What was the power system like? He needed basic knowledge of his surroundings.
'What kind of world is this? And where am I? Also, how long will it take to fully reconstruct my body?' he asked the Wisdom Core, trusting it would have gathered some basic information about his new world.
'ANSWER: BASED ON YOUR MEMORIES AND CURRENT DATA FROM RECOGNIZING FACES, YOU ARE IN THE NARUTO WORLD. YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN THE HIDDEN LEAF VILLAGE ORPHANAGE. WISDOM CORE WILL TAKE FIVE YEARS TO COMPLETE YOUR BODY'S GENE AND CHAKRA RECONSTRUCTION.'
Hearing that he was in the Naruto world, specifically in the Hidden Leaf Village, took him by surprise. He felt excitement and curiosity bubble up inside him. He would soon meet the fictional characters he had once admired and hated. But then, disappointment hit him—he was born into a world with a weaker power system compared to others. In this world, they used a lower form of energy, chakra, which lacked the advanced evolution paths seen in other fictional worlds.
Still, he knew there was a way to rise to higher dimensions. He just needed to become stronger, much stronger than anyone in this world. If he could do that, he might amass enough power to transcend dimensions. Perhaps then, he could return to Earth and see how things had turned out there—reunite with his family and friends. Not to live that same boring life again, but to give them the life he had always envisioned.
For now, he pushed aside thoughts of Earth and focused on his current situation. He couldn't properly use his chakra or body for the next five years.
'Why does it take so long? Do I have to be in constant pain for five years? Can't you speed up the reconstruction process? You have sub-skills like Thought Acceleration and Parallel Processing, so shouldn't that help?' He questioned the Wisdom Core, hoping to shorten the recovery time and lessen the pain.
'ANSWER: NEGATIVE. WISDOM CORE IS USING 90 PERCENT OF ITS POWER TO RECONSTRUCT YOUR BODY. YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM HAS BEEN PARTIALLY NUMBED, BUT IF WISDOM CORE COMPLETELY REMOVED THE PAIN, YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR SENSE OF TOUCH ENTIRELY.'
'Alright, alright, I'll deal with the pain,' he replied. Losing his sense of touch entirely was not worth it. If he didn't have the Wisdom Core, he would likely have died already. He figured he could live with the pain for a few years. In fact, he thought it might even increase his pain tolerance, making him stronger than others in the long run.
'So, are all your sub-skills functioning as I designed them?' Forgetting about the pain for a moment, he shifted focus to make sure everything else was running as intended.
'ANSWER: AFFIRMATIVE,' the Wisdom Core responded.
The single-word answer didn't disappoint him. He had designed the Wisdom Core to function this way—to provide straightforward answers, but also to evolve and grow alongside him as he faced new challenges and became more powerful. He hadn't set any restrictions on its development, giving it self-learning and adaptive features within its core programming. It wasn't just a tool; it was a partner, one he had created with a piece of his soul to stay with him for all eternity.
After contemplating for a while, he asked the final question. 'What kind of cells were implanted in me, and how will they affect my future?'
The Wisdom Core explained that he was naturally born from the bloodlines of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans. However, after his conception, additional cells from the Senju and Uzumaki clans had been implanted into his body. Without the healing abilities of the Senju cells, the conflicting Uchiha and Hyuga bloodlines would have torn his body apart. Even the Senju cells couldn't fully repair the damage, so Uzumaki cells were added to increase his chakra reserves and further aid in healing.
Listening to the explanation, he couldn't help but whisper, 'Ingenious… to create something like this in this world.'
He marveled at the mind behind this experiment. Even if most of the babies didn't survive, the person had partially succeeded in creating him. He was truly amazed.
After considering this, he continued listening to the Wisdom Core's explanation. By this point, his body had managed to stabilize itself somewhat due to the implanted cells working together, but a major problem arose when his chakra circuits started to form. Up until now, chakra circuits in a normal body are typically designed to support a single type of cell or bloodline. However, his body contained multiple types of cells, each carrying its own genetic heritage and characteristics.
Initially, the chakra circuits formed to support the dominant bloodline in his body, but soon, his body recognized that the other cells needed support too, in order to keep him alive. This led to a constant internal struggle between the different cells for dominance. At one moment, the Uchiha bloodline would take control, while in the next moment, the Hyuga or Senju cells might try to assert their influence. The result was that his chakra circuits, which were supposed to allow for smooth energy flow, became unstable and unorganized. Some circuits overdeveloped, creating powerful chakra points in certain areas of his body, while other areas were left weak and underdeveloped.
This imbalance caused severe disruption in the natural flow of chakra. His body was constantly in flux, as the circuits struggled to maintain equilibrium between the different genetic influences. As a result, he experienced intense pain, as the disjointed flow of chakra caused immense strain on his body's systems. When chakra isn't flowing consistently or properly, it can lead to serious consequences, including the breakdown of the body itself.
This instability also explained why some of the other babies who had undergone similar experiments died. When Minato's team members had attempted to ease the pain of the suffering infants by using chakra, they inadvertently caused explosions in the weaker chakra points within the babies' bodies. The uneven chakra flow led to bursts of energy in areas where the circuits were unstable, causing fatal injuries. This made him realize just how dangerous his situation had been and why so many others had failed to survive.
Now, it made sense why his body was constantly breaking down and healing itself simultaneously. The different cells and bloodlines in his body were competing for control, which not only prevented the chakra from flowing smoothly but also caused widespread pain as his body struggled to maintain balance.
