'.....it's too fucking bright...'
Opening my eyes I see...one big fucking blur. 'What the hell? What am I seeing out of? I know my eyes are this fucking bad!'
Attempting to get up and off of the strangely warm "bed" I'm on I find that I can't even lift my head. 'OK now what the hells going on? First I lose the ability to see and next I can't even lift my head? Speaking of which why can't I feel my damn arms.'
As I attempt to flail my arms around I barely move before I pressed against the "bed" by a large...Hand??? I continue to fail my arms and now my legs only to find that I can't even budge the giant hand holding my body down. "Your feisty! I can already tell, your gonna be a brat when you get older!"
'Who the fuck is that??? Moving around more only provokes more of a response from the giant as they put a second hand on my lower back and moves the first on up to my head. "Be careful, if you keep moving like that you'll end up falling."
As the giant does so a moment of clarity comes over me and in a crisp snap of something's fingers, or from my regained memories feathers I let my small body relax. '...damn.So all of that was really true?...I thought it was a prank the whole time, or that I was tripping balls over something Jaden gave me...Shit! So I'm really in Naruto huh? This is either the best opportunity I've ever been given, or I'm gonna die before I can become anyone worth anything..'
"There we go! All it took was threatening you to get you to calm down! Though..I don't know what to name you..I we're born in the autumn..Chiaki?..No maybe something else.."
Blinking or at least trying to I attempt to look up towards my now all but confirmed mother and she actually allows me to attempt in doing so but even using my fat newborn arms I'm barely able to get my head in the air and as it turns out newborns don't have the best vision as the only thing I see is a blur of features with the only thing I can make out is her lightly tanned face and striking yellow eyes, or I should say eye.
'Damn..She doesn't look that old but she already lost an eye? I know being a shinobi is rough but shit...' As I look at hear a blur of white as one of her hands comes up and taps my nose as I lose what little power in my arms and end up collapsing back on my stomach. "Oh, sorry! I don't know if you can tell but I'm kinda new to the whole parenting thing...Don't worry I'll be the best damn mom you could ask for!"
As the woman now confirmed as my mother smiles a viscious grin my body instinctively start crying.
"Ah. Sorry..."

'It's so boring...'
Currently I'm enjoying life as a freshly 5 month old and now crawling baby! 'I can finally start moving around, but I'm still way to weak..I can barely crawl for 5 minutes before my muscles give out let along getting up and actually walking.'
Making my way around the small coffee table I crawl towards the dinning room or the closest thing to it being a larger table in a room connected to the table.
"What are you doing? I told you to stay in the living room!" As I round the corner to the dinning room/kitchen I stopped and scooped up by a woman. 'I still can't get over how young she is..'
Looking at the woman who is my new mother I look over her still changing features. The woman is very young only 16 or so. She still has her slightly tanned skin with various scars and a missing eye that the young woman now covers with a eyepatch. "Are you curious about me? Well you won't get anything from me! Or maybe your hungry...That's probably it."
She walks me back into the living room and start to breastfeed me to absolute discomfort. 'I can't even enjoy this in good faith...Anyway! I've got bigger problems starting off with the fact that the Second Shinobi War is going on right now, which means that as soon as I get old enough I'm going to be quickly trained and pumped out of the academy. Though I guess it could be worse..The Third Shinobi war is way worse..Fuck, I'm probably gonna have to deal with that when I get older..And I'll be like 13 or I could be only 8 or something the one thing Naruto doesn't have is a goddamn calendar!'
Begruddingly drinking my lunch I choose to ignore my mothers poking at me. 'That means I have basically 4 years to train at the least and like 9 at the most before the Third Shinobi War, if nothing changes due to my existence. If it's only 4 years I'm fucked, since their's no way I can start training at the age of 3 or below and since I have no idea how to unlock my chakra at this point the only thing I can do is physical conditioning and at three years old? I won't be able to get far..
The only thing that could save me in the worst case is that they won't throw me to the battle field without giving me some form of mastery over Chakra. Though in that scenario my servival is probably still below 1% due to how vicious the Third Shinobi War is. The best scenario is that I'm able to dodge this war and then I have 13 years until the Third Shinobi War. Which still doesn't give me a lot of time, but at least I'll be able to get decently strong..Or I could just not be a shinobi? but then what's the point of being in Naruto in the first place?'
"Are you good now? I have to get back to cooking...Why am I talking to a baby.." She puts me down and into small baby carrier before walking off and back into the kitchen.
'The other thing is that I'm not part of any strong clan or even a talented one! I'd take being a part of any clan compared to this! Though I suppose my luck balanced out since I'm thankfully apart of Konoha, which means I don't have to worry about my country losing a war or suddenly getting murdered out of nowhere, though I have to worry about Danzo if I get to strong to quickly...Fuck! Their's so much to worry about..'
Sitting back in my carrier I take as deep of a breath as I can and breathe out slowly. "What was that?"
Touching the bottom of my diaper gets me a surprise I clearly wasn't ready for.
'Please let me grow up soon....'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"*Yawn* When are we going to the market mom?"
"In a minute!"
Sighing at the response I close the door to our apartment and sit outside waiting on her to finish getting ready, which probably includes trying to find extra money in our couch that never there.
'...We really need some more money..'
In this past year and half the previously slightly lavious lifestyle we used to live is mostly gone. 'I get the fact that you can't do Shinobi work anymore but are other jobs really just that bad in thie world? I know Shinobi are the driving economical force but damnn, I didn't think it'd be this terrible..'
My mother or Natsumi Yoshino was from the a minor village the Village Hidden In The Grass or as it's known more widely Kusagakure. 'Even though mom's got some interesting family neither of us seem to be very special..Either way Kusagakure is actually pretty impressive at least in terms of minor villages. Apperently it was almost strong enough to join and establish itself as one of the major hidden villages in the times of the first Hokage but due to how overwhelming Konoha was at that time they fell just short and ended up becoming a long time ally to Konoha.'
'After that when the second great ninja war came around they offered their support to Konoha and that's how my mother ended up becoming a Konoha citizen as she was taken prisoner at one point in the war and...."taken" but she broke out due to a very well timed attack and ended up dragging herself from Amegakure all the way back to the land of Fire where she was saved.'
Looking out towards the rest of the neighborhood I let the sounds of older kids playing distract me from the slightly dark tone I was building, after a minute of looking out I just let out another sigh as she still doesn't come out. 'Either way, mom really did her best. She lost her eye when she was captured and still managed to escape with a almost completely ruined body. I guess that's her tough genes? She did say she was related to a couple strong grass ninja's who shared quite a bit of blood with. I think she said her brother was a strong enough to be a Jonin even for the major villages, which is quite strong for a minor village. Which is probably the why the Kusagakure ended up getting shafted in the next war, way too strong for such a small country plus it's an ally of Konoha? It's so obviously the next target.'
Yawning for another time I sit for another minute or so before my mother comes barrelling through the door. "Hikari! If you left me I swear to the Sag- oh. Your right here."
"Hi mom."
"*Ahem* W-we can go now."
At that I just smile at her. "Ok!"
