'Name: Jaden Onikuma, age 8. I look like a child version of Jaden Yuki with jaw length brown bangs, hairstyle almost similar to Minato, an angled heart-shaped chubby face, and brown almost yellow eyes. Wearing a multi layered green and white kimono style clothing of daimyo.'
'An illegitimate son to the Great Mujō Hōzuki. Who thought it would be a great idea to send his fucking eight-year-old son on a diplomatic mission to the land of Birds with five cowardly men as bodyguards. All of which were bribed off by my older brother to kill me. To only then die to Iwa Rock Packers. The only good thing those fuckers did was kill these men who were more like bandits than guards.'
'The question is what I do now, as I could just return to my wooden cabin back in Kusa or continue to the Land of Birds. Now normally the only problem would be the occasional bandits along the journey.'
"Ha Jokes on them I have no money." I say while puffing up my chest as if that's something to wear like a badge of honor.
'But the real problem is that I remember where I'm at, I'm an hour and a half away past the border of Amegakure. Now that's not good as Amegakure is notorious for being a xenophobic country. Don't get me wrong, I think they have a point for disliking outsiders.
'Ya know, being the constant war zone for three major countries. Destroying millions of Ryo worth of property damage. If that's not bad enough when the ninjas get hungry, they'd break into a person's home, kill the family and eat their food.'
'Not to mention the girls who have a pretty face. Yea I'm not gonna continue. The point is this country sucks and I'll try going to The Land of Birds.' I can't help but shutter thinking about this world.
"I guess the next real problem is I'm in the middle of the Second Great Shinobi World War, in the middle of fucking nowhere." I say as a rain cloud pours salty tears on me.
'I decided to first scavenge the remains of the burnt and crushed bodies of my oh so brave elite guards of Kusa. Hoping to find at least some usable weapons, money, or valuables that can be sold.'
'While walking to The Land of Birds I start to reorganize the memories of this body for anything useful. Starting with why I'm in this position to begin with. That being the same reason how Karin's mother was brought to Kusa. Because the country is desperate to improve their military without putting in any real work. Yes, they are lazy, shameless, and destined to waste any talent that falls into their lap.'
'The Daimyo of a small country is different from the five major villages. In short, it's a position passed down by a single family but goes to the strongest.'
'I just so happen to be the only child born with a ninja background while my oh so great brothers and sisters are offsprings of my father's concubines. I know Naruto depicted couples practicing monogamy, but that must only apply to ninjas as Nobles have no such limitations.'
But I'm getting off topic. The reason I was targeted was because I was becoming increasingly stronger. By the time I'd turn 12, my skill would be at the level of a Jonin from Kusa. And by 15 I'd be at the level of the village of Kage Mui. Kusa is made of mostly Genin, a handful of Chunin's and I could count the number of Jonin on one hand. Which is nothing but for Kusa this was big.
'My wonderful aunties got in my father's ears, making him paranoid. Saying I was unsatisfied with my position in the family and would one day usurp his power. He didn't want to believe them but that's the thing about being paranoid. It only takes one drop of mistrust for you to be on edge, but those bitches magnified it and spread it around the palace.'
'As a child I didn't understand what all the negative attention I was getting but thought it was because I wasn't strong enough or wasn't involved in my studies. Instead of receiving praise from my father I received suspicion. As I looked more capable of succeeding him, he was worried that in a few years I would kick him out the palace, leaving him with little money.'
'He tried to push me to be a ninja, but I wanted to prove I was just as good as my siblings as a noble.'
'Which led to him hiring Iwa shinobi to assassinate me. Stupid I know but that's how the Great Mujō Hōzuki rolls.'
"Well, whatever the nobles of Kusa are on my list of people I want to shank with a rusty knife."
'But that's all in the past, screw that place I was nothing more than a caged bird. Even if I did become the Kage or Daimyo. Whoopsie Fucking Doo do you want a medal. You're a big fish in a small pond where you're sandwiched in between sharks and whales with rocket launchers. Meaning the Kage of the other nations could kill me faster than I could reach for a kunai. Or nuke me from a distance, with the walking nukes known as tailed beasts. Making it impossible to reform a village.'
'Meaning my best bet is to join one of these bigger nations, preferably Konoha. Learn all I can and leave. Or join a neutral/ secluded country away from all the pointless ninja wars. The spineless Daimyo and Kage brainwash people into giving their lives for a nation that won't honor your sacrifice or remember your name past your identification number.' Jaden couldn't help thinking.
"Screw that!!!" I yell as I would never become someone's attack-dog.
