In an extremely dark place, a motionless figure floated in the void
This is Izumi, although he regained consciousness he could not move or speak
He couldn't hear anything. He couldn't feel his body. All he could feel was coldness, loneliness and fear
"I can't see anything, this place is dark and cold... Ah right!! Who called, my dad, to hit me so hard on the head that... Wait!!.. Die?.. Hmmm! That makes sense! Who would survive a blow like that? But why?... uh man! it doesn't matter now. Dad has always been a bitch to me and I wouldn't ask for anything now"
"So what am I going to do now? I can't move or do anything. Should I sleep? "
...
Izumi continued to sleep. Although he would wake up occasionally, he would only go back to sleep. Nothing else he could do anyway
Every day Izumi felt the space around him become tight and heavy for some reason. Later on, he managed to move a bit but it was only a slight movement
Time passed quickly. Izumi didn't know how long he had been in that dark place but he guessed it took months. One day, a strong light shone in front of him and then he felt that he could move
He quickly turned towards the light, feeling very uneasy and anxious but managed to slip through, and soon he heard several screams
Then he felt something reassuring that he had been missing for a while, a breeze in the air
Izumi felt that someone was carrying him. He was surprised and blew his head a thousand questions
Izumi "I don't understand... What is this? What is this light? Am I not dead? Where am I now? Why do I feel like someone is carrying me? What is going on???"
Izumi stopped thinking after hearing several things that startled him
"Mikoto, we have to leave quickly. Do you have any energy?" Someone spoke in a male voice
The woman who was supposed to be Mikoto said "Akira. Don't worry, did you forget I'm a medical nin? Just five minutes"
Izumi tried to open his eyes but couldn't. He begins to think "Just what's going on? Wait! I'll try to organize my thoughts. Let's see... I've been stuck for months in a dark place and then a strange light flashes in front of me and then I come in from a tight place and now I hear a conversation between two people, about what it's like to be a woman and a man, I think this is a bit familiar. Yeah, isn't it like what happens in fan fiction? My parents are supposed to be two people talking now?"
As Izumi was thinking, he suddenly felt himself wrapped in a blanket and then felt whoever was carrying him run quickly
Soon, Izumi heard a loud voice in the distance
"Konohagakure in that direction. Catch them and don't let them escape!! "
"Hai!" answered two more people who were dressed as ninjas with the forehead shield of a particular village
"What situation are we in now? No, there's one more thing, did I just hear the word 'Konohagakure'? Is that some kind of joke? Oh! I think I heard 'Medical nin' earlier too. It means I was born from new To the world of Naruto. Actually, I don't know whether to cry or laugh at this but most of all, are we being hounded now? "
Anyway, Akira carried a great deal of fear as he ran, not for himself, but for his tired wife and the little boy he was carrying in his arms who had just been born
Akira made up his mind. He stopped running and then gave his son in his arms to his wife "Its looks like we're being chased by three ninjas. Mikoto, go to Konoha with the kid, it's the closest"
Mikoto tightened her arms around her baby "What about you?" She asked fearfully
Akira smiled sadly "I'll try to hold them back. I know you won't accept this but please, at least for our child's sake"
A torrent of tears flowed from Mikoto's eyes. She nodded and then continued to run, resisting the pain in her heart, while Akira turned around and then ran in the opposite direction towards the enemy
Izumi, who heard all this, felt very sad. He did not want to lose a member of his family again but here he is, reborn and now on the verge of losing his father in this life
Izumi could not stand it and quickly broke down in tears. Mikoto hugged him and tried to calm him down while at the same time trying to hold on and bear all the exhaustion that had befallen her
Mikoto couldn't stop running for a moment. She knew that her husband wouldn't be able to fend off the enemies for long, so she wouldn't rest until she reached Konoha Gate at least
After a while, both Izumi and Mikoto hear voices not far from them
Mikoto lost hope. She knew that she wouldn't be able to survive even if she kept running. She still had another hour to run until she reached Konoha
There is hope for someone else...
She paused and then began to look around. Suddenly, I glimpsed a small, unnoticeable hole in one of the trees that seemed to barely fit a small child
She quickly headed towards that tree. The sakura tree was beautiful, and what made it even more beautiful were the open flower petals that gave hope and joy to the soul
She took off the silver necklace she was wearing around her neck, then put it into the blanket Izumi was wrapped in and then kissed him on the forehead
Mikoto smiled slightly when she saw the flower petals but quickly hugged her son and then cried. she said"My baby, please stay calm... I know you don't understand my words but if you survive,I love you so much and so does your father"
She puts Izumi inside the hole in the sakura tree, then she takes out a kunai and puts it in her waist bag. She cut her finger with it and then wrote something with her own blood on the brim of Izumi's blanket
After she finished, she hurried away, but not before taking one last look at her son
Tears still fell from Izumi eyes but he tried not to make a sound. He think "Why am I always jinxed? Am I cursed? Am I doomed to be deprived of happiness? Am I going to lose the people I've always cared for like this?"
(AN: Actually...yes)
"If my father in my past life had only half... no... a quarter of the love and affection I had from my parents in this life, I would have been the happiest person in the world"
He continued to cry bitterly and in a muffled voice
Some time passed. Soon, Izumi heard the clash of sharpened blades and weapons. He heard screams of pain and small explosions, all of which made him shiver
Unknown 1"This second. We're finally done with them"
Izumi was shaken upon hearing this
Unknown2 "Damn it! These two hurt us so much!"
Unknown3 "Stop talking! I lost my left arm too. We need to get back to headquarters quickly for treatment"
Before they start to leave, they are attacked by a masked ninja who has just appeared. After some scuffles, the masked ninja was victorious by killing the injured ninja
One of these ninja looked pitifully at Mikoto corpse
Masked Ninja 1 "From the pattern on the forehead protectors and this outfit...they look like Ewa Ninja. How annoying! Even when the war is over, they do things like this"
Ninja 2 "you know Our world is harsh, and this lady was clearly destined for Konoha"
Ninja 3 "We have to go back to inform the Hokage. Quickly put the corpses into the Storage Scrolls so we can go. We might get some useful information from them"
"Hai !!!"
Izumi was relieved that the unexpected newcomers were from Konoha.He could no longer control himself and quickly emptied out what was locked in his heart
...
Konoha's ninja are about to leave, but they are surprised to hear a baby crying. A ninja quickly heads toward the sound, his eyes widening when he sees a child hidden in the hole of a sakura tree
He looked at the sakura tree and then at the child inside the tree. He sighed and thought "He miraculously survived. There is always hope"
He picked him up gently and then turned towards the rest of his comrades "A newborn. This dead woman seems to be his mother" he said
Even though his face was covered by a mask, the rest of his comrades noticed that he was angry by his tone of voice
One ninja said "Okay. Now that we've stocked up on the corpses let's head back to the village. The Hokage will take care of the kid"
On the way, Izumi stops crying, but the thought of his parents dying still hurts him
Izumi didn't notice that he was being stared at all the way by the person he found and who is now carrying him
And so, the Konoha ninja arrived in their village with a new member
