"Konohagakure no Sato..." I mumbled, unsure of whether this was the correct choice or not. "It's better than nothing." I said to myself. I remember all of this. This Village was one of the many Villages in a Manga I used to read.
Naruto.
Yes... I read it in a Manga. I'm not someone from this world. I can't remember much from my previous life except for two stories...
Bleach and Naruto.
I remember dying though. Or no, I don't remember dying. I remember the pain I got from something... Immense pain...
And then I was standing in front of someone?
"Ugh!" I grip my head in pain. 'There's no use forcing myself...' I thought and looked back up to the village doors.
I don't remember much from it, just that it's a world where children kill for money while being brainwashed by adults.
Now why am I questioning myself about entering the strongest Village? Because it's the strongest Village externally. But internally there's many problems.
I could've gone to a much more stable Kumogakure no Sato, but there's one problem. The same problem that had me reason to myself that Konoha was the best choice.
Knowledge. Even the little he still had.
I knew nothing of the small and large events that happen inside Kumogakure. So although Konoha isn't the best choice of Village. It's the safest for him as he can navigate through things with his Knowledge.
Shaking the thoughts away, I walk into the Village and approach the stall where two ninja sat.
"I request an audience with the Hokage." I spoke up, my childlike voice not undermining the confidence with which I spoke.
I look at the ninjas glancing at each other in confusion, but before one of them could speak up, the other one nudged him and pointed towards the haori I wore.
More specifically towards the side of my shoulder where my family insignia stood proudly.
I just stood silent at their gaze. I knew why they acted like this. My late family in this world was somewhat big in the Land of Fire.
The two whispered to each other before one of them vanished in a swirl of leaves.
The last remaining ninja cleared his throat. "We will inform the Hokage of your arrival as soon as possible." He said, his tone respectful.
I nod at his words and stand next to the stall, my left hand resting on the hilt of my Katana.

Hiruzen narrows his eyes after the ninja left his office. Talking a pull from his pipe, he sighs. "Kuchiki clan..." He muttered, taking out a scroll and reading it's contents.
The Kuchiki clan was a noble civilian family serving under the Daimyo. But during the Second Shinobi War, the family had been assassinated before anyone could realize what happened.
Hiruzen's eyes stop at the photo of a young boy with grey eyes and long black hair tied in a high ponytail. "Byakuya Kuchiki. The last survivor of the Kuchiki clan. Why did you leave the protection of the Daimyo?" He muttered before summoning an Anbu ninja.
"Bring Byakuya here." Hiruzen ordered and the ninja left with a 'Yes, Hokage.'
Not long after, a knock could be heard from his office's door. "Enter." He spoke up and looked at the young boy who came in. Carefully examining the boy's posture, he noted how the boy held himself high.
"Hokage." I bowed slightly in greeting.
Hiruzen put on a faint smile. "Byakuya. My condolences. It's a shame what happened to the Kuchiki clan." He says lightly, a sympathetic look across his face.
"Thank you, Hokage." I nodded. "But I'm not here for pity, Hokage."
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow at my words. "What brings you to Konoha then?"
"I would like to integrate the Kuchiki clan into Konoha." I reveal, looking firmly into the Hokage's eyes.
My plan as you might have realized is to join under the Hokage. And as it's been revealed, I am Byakuya Kuchiki. The captain of the 6th Division in the Gotei 13. Someone from one of the other things I remember.
Bleach.
Now the only question hung in the air is: 'Why join Konoha if you are Byakuya Kuchiki. Someone of great power?' Easy. I'm weak right now. And I need a place to be underneath while I grow.
"Hmm." Hiruzen hums, sifting through his thoughts, snapping my attention back to him.
Noticing the silence from the Hokage, I couldn't blame him. The Kuchiki clan, although powerful, were just civilians in this world.
"Hokage-sama." I spoke up, calling the Hokage in a respectful and subservient manner. "The Kuchiki clan's Bloodline developed a Kekkei Genkai." I explained calmly as I spotted the Hokage's eyes widen.
I bit the bullet. I knew he wouldn't take just some random person into the Village. Especially when the Villages are so tense these days.
Silence once again descended in the office, before being broken by Hiruzen blowing smoke out. "Is what you speak of the truth?" He asks, gazing into the boys eyes.
I nod, putting my hand on the sword strapped on my hip. This one came with me... When I woke up, this blade was within my grip and I've never had it away from my body.
Hiruzen calmly lifts his hand in the air, stopping the Anbu who prepared to strike me down.
"This is the manifestation of the Kuchiki clan's Kekkei Genkai." I spoke, drawing the blade and presenting it to Hiruzen.
Hiruzen frowns, not understanding what the katana has to do with the Kekkei Genkai, but nonetheless takes the katana from me. "What?!" His eyes widen as he touched the blade. 'This isn't metal. It's formed purely out of Chakra.' He thought before shaking his head. "No... Not Chakra... Imbalanced..." He mutters feeling it was quite similar to Chakra.
"Yes." I nod, hearing the Hokage's words before reaching my hand out and the katana appears within my grip once more, stunning Hiruzen. "I manifested the Kekkei Genkai just before the clan was slaughtered, so no one knew." He explained sheathing the katana. "I call it Zanpakuto. The Katana is formed by my spiritual energy."
"Zanpakuto..." Hiruzen copies, nodding at the name. "a Befitting name." 'That explains why it felt similar to Chakra. Chakra is both Physical and Spiritual energy.' Hiruzen thought before turning his attention back to the boy. "What are the abilities of your Zanpakuto?" He questions, But I could only shake my head.
"I don't know yet, Hokage-Sama." I answered. Of course I knew, but what's the point in explaining everything? Plus it hasn't manifested it's full abilities yet. Right now it's just a katana.
"Very well..." Hiruzen spoke up. "I permit you in establishing a clan in Konohagakure no Sato. We will provide you a property and a monthly income-"
I raise an eyebrow and raise my hand slightly, cutting the Hokage off. "Sorry, Hokage-sama, but I won't be needing it as I inherited my clan's wealth." I apologize before explaining my interjection.
"That's good." Hiruzen nods. "Then I formally welcome you to Konoha." He says, smiling at the boy.
"Thank you Hokage-Sama." I bow slightly and turn around, exiting the office as we were done speaking.
I walked out, my thoughts drifting to the conversation I had with the Hokage, revealing my Kekkei Genkai. 'It was the only choice I had to fully integrate myself into Konoha and establish a position for myself. This will also eliminate some of the doubts the Hokage had about my identity.'
I look around after exiting the building. 'Now then. It's time to buy a house for the newly established Kuchiki Clan.'

Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen looked at the door right before a man burst in. "Hiruzen. How could you let an unknown boy enter the village?" The man spoke.
Hiruzen just sighed. "He is not an unknown, Danzo."
"He could be a spy, Hiruzen!" Danzo slammed his hand against the desk. "During these times of war, we can't be too safe. Let the Root take over the boy."
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, hearing his friends words. "So that's why you came here. No, Danzo. The boy will integrate into the village as a normal shinobi."
Danzo looked at the Hokage's calm demeanor before scoffing and walking out of the office.
News of the Kuchiki boy quickly traveled throughout the Village. a New clan with a Kekkei Genkai isn't something people hear everyday.
And so a week passed.
