NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Reincarnation (2)
For the first time Tsukimi, the golden fox opened his eyes.
A pair of purplish silver predatory reptile eyes covered in a ring with 2 tomoe on it, calmness, power and wisdom deep in the eyes could be seen hidden deep within them.
He looked at the Rikudo sennin and said "Go away already old man and what grandson I am the oldest here, even though I just gained intelligence my existence is far older than you."
The old sage just smiled and shook his head, his figure blurred away and Kurama broke in tears. seriously scheming till the end, what's up with these old men and schemes.
'That old fool finally left' Tsukimi thought and turned to look at all the remaining others with wonder. 'looking at the future tailed beasts, especially Kyuubi no Youko in such a state is weird but they are also living beings, wait aren't they technically my kids.' he thought only to hurriedly shake his head as if trying to remove those thoughts 'no, no, no don't think about such pointless things, ugh I hate kids. Well let's calm them down.'
The golden fox reached out to pat Kurama and said " Don't cry like a human baby, don't want to worry the old man in his afterlife do we so calm down all of you" as his gaze moved through everyone present he continued
"take some rest, walk around a bit to calm yourself down or talk with me. We are going to be together for the rest of our lives so we have to be there for each other."
Everyone scattered away while Tsukimi was left alone. While he was alone his thoughts wandered 'I got some time to check the progress in the system. Yes I have a system which was given to me by myself. Confusing right, it is at first but once you learn about me it is not so much.'
[ Flashback ]
{ Tsukimi's P.O.V. }
This is not your typical reincarnation story. I didn't die young or die due to some heavy duty vehicle. I even lived the life of my dreams.
I died after living a happy life. I lived till my 80's and had all the money I earned enough for me to spend 2 lives without worry, how you ask. Well, why won't you, it's everyone's dream after all.
I got Into investing and got to know what money is, after earning enough I stopped myself from earning more actively. My passive income was still there.
I made my parents live a good life and they passed away happily. I was an only child but still I had true friends but there was something i could never find in my 80 years of living, that was true love. I was fairly handsome, not too much but still enough to get by.
There was never really a girl who could make me fall in love with her and once I had money, only the ones after it came to me.
I tried dating several women but they somehow managed to make me stay away from relationships even more.
When someone cares more about what you have or what you do more than what you are, you just feel tired of that thing.
So I died single and Virgin.
I am not the one to sleep with just any woman. If i wanted something like that why not pay for it, at least you know they are in for it because of the money.
I kissed my girlfriends but my every relationship ended unsuccessful as I never came to like their personality.
That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy my life, turns out life is more than just getting a woman to get married and have kids.
I went on many trips around not because of the MC but due to the world itself.
I liked the concept of chakra and the uses of seals.
I hate the old people in the anime for letting such small kids enter the war and use them as tools and the chain goes on.
What else can you expect from the people who always want to enjoy benefits while staying in the background.
The day I died my life changed for the best, I did not meet a random R.O.B. nor did I get thrown in another world.
I met a different version of myself in a mirror world like the dimension where I died.
"Hey there me, wanna reincarnate with memories intact and some powers?"
Seriously, that's the best he or I could come up with. I just stared at him with a deadeye expression, he coughed and avoided eye contact.
His words just answered several questions though it's still hard to believe.
" You are a different version of myself, an alternate right? How the hell did you get the power to do that? Where do you want to reincarnate me?" I looked at him analyzing any form of deception or trickery as I don't believe every version of me is a good guy.
His lips formed an amused smile and replied, "It's always good to talk with the intelligent version of myself. I got my powers after my death, not as peacefully as yours, but I got what I have today due to it." He smiled with a little warmth at that and continued.
"I don't want anything to do with you. I am just offering an opportunity for you to earn good karma. I just had a daughter, so I am happy. And since I don't give freebies to just anyone I meet, I thought, why not give it to myself or a different version? You can even reincarnate in Naruto's world if you like. I know you love it."
Listening to him I was shocked and slightly happy for him but something bugged me so I asked straightforwardly " you have kids?"
He just gave me the same look I gave him a few moments back and said " really, that's what you ask first. Well considering us, it's very reasonable to ask that question but I came to love someone and we spend most of the years to be ready for one. I just did not feel repulsive to have a kid with her and we did and now I am happy" by the end of it a smile returned to his face.
I am happy that I could find happiness and love, even though he is a different me.
'No point thinking too much let's get to point and think what do I want.'
After some thinking I said " well congratulations man I am happy that at least you could find someone. For my wishes and the world itself, NARUTO'S it is I want to be ten tails, I will be the chakra left after separation of all the 9 beasts.
I want 2 Special Dojutsu like rinnegan and a rinne-sharingan on my forehead with powers to access a personal dimension, see some future, ability to see through lies, chakra cloak with susanoo like defense in my human form, my body should be of a fox, illusion affinity and counter ability even to the most powerful ones with one of my eyes.
I want someone to guide me to get powerful and never stop the power ups. That's about it I guess"
He just looked at me for a second and said "you chose ten tails for its immorality and huge chakra so you have to work for control and techniques.
All the abilities are doable. I will give a system like interface to guide you on the path but it will only show you the path as you have to take it yourself only then you can be truly strong.
As you will be remaining chakra of the juubi you have to wait for the chakra to reach its prime state which can also help you in the meantime to control chakra, as you grow your tails grow in number till ten then you won't grow any but your power will increase according to your efforts.
maybe in this world you can find your own happiness." He spoke the last line in a sincere tone.
Well I am happy that he didn't downplay any of my wishes.
I just thanked him and nodded at his logic of how things will be. After that we talked for a few mins and he sent me on my way and went back.
[ Flashback End ]
After I gained consciousness for the first time I received the memory of my time as a divine tree that was born. I came to learn how Kaguya was treated as nothing but a beautiful woman to concur by the humans.
I was an unconscious tree at that time but I could watch over the whole planet as I was connected to it. I was still strong enough to store and analyze memories in my brain automatically. I got the memory of Kaguya's escape and running away from her so-called husband who easily believes others words without hesitation just to have peace.
She was already pregnant at that time.
She lost all hope when she saw her husband who was now after her life and even killed her only friend Aino who tried to reason with them.
She used me and I answered her call and devoured every living being in the area.
Look how that turned out for her, well she also went and nourished me with her son's woman. she was kind of dull in that romance department, i mean she chose that dumbo to be her husband.
Though she lost her reasoning after consuming the fruit and the last remaining hope which were her sons, they also went against her.
That broke the poor girl down. She summoned me once again, and I went berserk. I started thrashing everything due to my premature awakening and being a mindless beast with no reasoning.
She used me to take back the chakra she provided them with my help.
She was sealed in the end, I was extracted and stripped of power and that's how all the tailed beasts and me came to be.
Remaining of the chakra and the consciousness of my being with a little bit of trickery from 'the other me' formed in the 10th and last tailed beast stored in magatama.
Now looking at the screen in front I can feel strange happiness staring at the screen like a kid got a new toy. I mean I literally held the dream of many in the palm of my hands.
