Chapter 1: Dana Arashi
Dana Arashi opened his eyes, but could only see blurry shadows, indistinct and chaotic. Surrounding him was a great deal of noise, as if a dozen people were cheering.
But his ears felt as if they were filled with a sticky, warm liquid; he couldn't hear anything clearly.
"What's going on? Is my hearing and eyesight failing too?"
He panicked for a moment. He had been bedridden for many years with a rare form of spinal cancer, forcing his life to be put on hold since the age of 25.
In just two years, he had transformed from a healthy young man into a mummy-like invalid, with no sensation below the neck.
Although he was counting down the days, each day was difficult and arduous, he had never thought of giving up. His vision and hearing had never been problematic; these two things were the source of his tenacious will to live. He could still see the world, hear the world.
If he were to go blind and deaf, there would be no point in persevering.
Amidst his confused thoughts, Dana Arashi felt himself being lifted. His body became cold, but the large hands holding him felt dry and warm. It was then that he realized his size seemed wrong, and his vision was still blurry, but his hearing was gradually returning.
He finally heard what the people around him were saying:
"Congratulations, Lord Ai, another son."
Japanese? So, I've time-traveled?
Fortunately, I understand a little.
So, my original self is already dead in that world? It's not surprising, really. It was a matter of living one day less each day. I participated in hospice care; I hope my body was found in time.
First, there was a wave of confusion, but then, overwhelming joy surged through him.
To be honest, he had definitely gained. Although it was a pity not to be reborn in China, having the opportunity to live again was unparalleled luck.
In this life, Dana Arashi didn't have many demands; he just wanted to be healthy. The last few years of his illness in his previous life had made him experience the hardships of life.
For Dana Arashi, time travel was a miracle even more fortunate than winning the lottery, a rebirth.
"Poverty and hardship are fine, ugliness and stupidity are also acceptable. In this life, I only hope to be healthy," Dana Arashi thought to himself, quickly adjusting his mentality.
Dana Arashi tried to look at the figure holding him, only seeing dark brown skin and light yellow, unruly hair. Although his vision was blurry, it didn't prevent Dana Arashi from recognizing the other person's sculpted muscles. Dana Arashi couldn't help but feel inexplicably confused. This look was a little strange. Someone looking like this speaking Japanese?
Could it be a Japanese version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre? Is the one holding me: Xie Xun—the Golden-haired Lion King?
This life's father is called Ai? Strange, that name sounds like...?
At that moment, Dana Arashi uncontrollably began to twitch. Tiny blue electrical arcs appeared around him, disappearing in an instant with a "crackling" sound, striking the large hand holding him. However, this life's father didn't seem to be harmed at all; he paused slightly, his eyes becoming serious, and Dana Arashi didn't feel any pain either.
A gleam flashed in the giant's eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"Could it be a Kekkei Genkai? A Kekkei Genkai belonging to the Yoruzu clan?"
The giant examined Dana Arashi's entire body. When he saw Dana Arashi's back, his excitement gradually subsided.
On the baby's back, a small spine was surrounded by thin, pale purple blood vessels, outlining the shape of the spine, extending from the coccyx to the back of the head, looking extremely strange. The cause was unknown, but it looked unhealthy at a glance.
The giant, who was most likely his father in this life, spoke a sentence that almost made Dana Arashi collapse.
"A Kekkei Byō? Or perhaps something else."
At this time, the door to the delivery room was pushed open, and a pale, beautiful woman was helped out by a maid. She seemed to hear Ai's words, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Husband, how could it be a Kekkei Byō? Did you make a mistake?"
The two didn't know that the child in the swaddling clothes could understand their conversation, but Dana Arashi was indeed shocked.
Kekkei Byō??? Is this the Naruto world?
My god, this world is already dangerous enough, and I even have a Kekkei Byō? Is it so difficult to live a healthy life? Dana Arashi had followed Naruto, but it was too long ago; he relied on short videos and novels to fill in many of the later plots. At the mention of Kekkei Byō, he thought of Kimimaro, whose mind was washed away by Orochimaru, who only lived to be about ten years old.
Others with Kekkei Byō also suffered greatly. It can be said that in the ninja world, the mortality rate of Kekkei Byō is extremely high, and the cure rate is extremely low; it's synonymous with not living to adulthood.
"Damn!" Dana Arashi's heart sank! He immediately began frantically recalling the fragmented Naruto-related plots in his mind, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for health.
Ai looked at Dana Arashi, who was no longer crying (actually recalling the plot), sighed, and handed the child to a servant woman beside him to comfort his wife.
At that moment, a "crackling" sound came from Dana Arashi again, and a thin electrical arc struck the servant woman holding him. Dana Arashi still didn't feel anything, but the servant woman was as if she had been severely struck, "Ouch," falling backward. Dana Arashi was also thrown up, but fortunately, Ai reacted quickly and caught Dana Arashi, who almost fell to the ground.
Dana Arashi almost followed Liu Shan's script.
After the servant woman fell to the ground, she was in pain and struggled to get up, but her body seemed to be unresponsive, fumbling around.
Ai quickly went to check. The servant woman was not in mortal danger, but he was very familiar with the damage and paralysis caused by electric shock.
"At birth, it already has the power to injure ordinary people? This child... is it a Kekkei Genkai? Or a Kekkei Byō?"
One word difference, a world of difference.
After comforting his wife, Ai turned around and instructed:
"Summon the clan elders, remember to keep it secret."
Several ninjas appeared from somewhere, instantly teleporting to Ai's side, kneeling on one knee to receive the order, then disappearing again.
.....................
Dana Arashi sat on the steps in front of his house, lost in thought. Some children were playing nearby, but they didn't dare to approach him. Occasionally, they would steal a glance at him, then quickly look away.
"Oh~ unlucky kid." This was Dana Arashi's self-deprecating comment.
"Master Dana Arashi, it's time for dinner." A maid dressed in a kimono, with a gentle demeanor, stopped two meters behind Dana Arashi and said.
"Okay, Sister Umeko." Dana Arashi patted his bottom and decisively got up, walking into the luxurious mansion behind him.
A gentle curve appeared on the corner of the maid's mouth, but she carefully maintained her distance from Dana Arashi, watching the three-year-old Dana Arashi walk into the courtyard.
Yes, he had time-traveled. Currently, he was in the Naruto world, Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village, in the Land of Lightning. His name was Yoruzu Dana Arashi, the second son of the Third Raikage, currently a standard toddler.
The name Dana Arashi has a special meaning, but most of the time he is called Arashi.
Since learning that he had time-traveled to the Naruto world, Dana Arashi said, "Good, I'm familiar with this, this is stable."
However, unfortunately, the time travel location was not Konoha, which he was most familiar with, but Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.
There were no well-known characters here, allowing Dana Arashi to directly understand their personalities, strengths, and even futures. There were also no major plots to help him organize the timeline, allowing him to easily find plot holes and pick up opportunities.
It can be said that the first-mover advantage was greatly weakened. In addition, the time travel timeline was very early. The First Great Ninja War had only ended over a decade ago. Besides his father and brother, there was a retainer named Tsuchikage; no one in the entire Kumogakure had ever heard of him.
Dana Arashi didn't feel any regret about not being born in Konoha. Reliving life was already a huge win, let alone in the Naruto world, with the opportunity to master extraordinary powers.
Besides, Konoha wasn't a charity; it was blacker than black fertilizer when cut open.
Through several years of observation, Dana Arashi discovered that Kumogakure was different from what he had previously imagined, or rather, the original plot only showed the tip of the iceberg.
I, the author, time-traveled from the later chapters to the first chapter.
To address any reader's doubts:
First: This book is not slow-paced, but it's not that fast either. Please be patient with this book. Thank you very much. If the free part is still not enough to attract you, I apologize.
Second: The timeline is after the First Great Ninja War and before the Second Great Ninja War. The protagonist and Minato Namikaze are the same age (born in Konoha 27). This will help everyone clarify the timeline to avoid questions like why he didn't go to Kirigakure to get Kimimaro. By the time the author time-traveled back, Kimimaro should still be a liquid.
Third: Book reviews and chapter comments are all open. I've explained this before. When I read books myself, if I suddenly have a comment I want to make, and I find that there are fan value restrictions, I feel very discouraged, so in my book, everyone can freely discuss the plot, settings, characters, etc., but I will delete obviously wrong, vulgar, and misleading remarks.
Finally, the style of this book: burning with a hint of humor, similar to the first part of Naruto, with both complaints and passion, those who dislike this should be cautious.
