I was born in darkness, moulded by it.
I was born in the sewer systems of konoha. My birth mother is an elite root ninja and my birth father is Danzo shimura, the darkness of leaf. My father was already in his late 50s when he had me, so i was quite the surprise.
Since I'm likely the last blood child he can probably have, I've been treated Pretty well, considering I've been raised among root's child soldier programs since birth.
I apparently have quite a few half siblings from my father, but only ones from his official wife bear his surname.
Rest of my siblings are still acknowledged by him as his children, but only among root operatives. All my half siblings are generally quite talented and loyal to root. We've been programmed and marked (sealed) for loyalty since birth.
What makes my case most weird is that my mother is also my half sibling. Danzo really got seduced by one of his eldest bastard daughter. Clearly he thought he had no more baby batter to produce, clearly he was wrong.
Well my mother got her promotion for sleeping with the boss though. She has been climbing ranks ever since she gave birth to me, while I live like an orphan among other toddler recruits.
While usually, Danzo is only slightly prefrencial to his bastards in root, he is doting when it comes to me. He is my father, my grandfather and my master( from Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal).
As a reincarnated individual, I've shown greater intellegence and willingness to train compared to all other peers and show higher potential than all other siblings.
I'm genetically 75% Danzo, compared to my half siblings that are only 50% their father's dna . This consideration makes Danzo think that I'm superior to my half siblings.
My mother also cherishes me, as much as she is allowed. Birthing me has brought her great promotions. Every time I shine in training, she gets praises in bed directly from Danzo.
While being in root means she can't really be a proper mother to me, she does try to train me whenever she has free time.
Training in root anbu is pretty similar to torture, but I can get through it by telling myself that it's for my own benefit. The stronger i am, the better.
Unlike other children, who are learning 1+1=2, I'm learning how to manipulate people to earn trust. Since I'm an adult in toddler's body, i am much faster learner. By the time I'm 4, I'm taking classes with 10 year olds.
A lot of my peers will never become true ninja. They will be sent to some Village as a child spy. Some will have cover as orphans fending for themselves, others will join other disguised adult root ninja to enhance their cover, by forming families.
Seeling almost all my peers go on to espionage missions,I too try to get one. Compared to others with my equivalent training, I'm much younger. Even if someone can suspect a 10 year old of being a spy, it's much harder to suspect a 4 year old.
I request my father Danzo for a very specific mission. I already have a legitimate birth certificate from leaf village, since my mother is a member of root anbu. Ofcourse the father information in such a form is left blank.
I suggest to my father, that If my mother meets her end on an official leaf mission ( atleast on paper), than I can join the orphanage as a new orphan. As a 4 year old orphan of a leaf ninja, I cannot be suspected.
If i form a deep undercover charachter, I can easily perform espionage and counter espionage to benefit the leaf village, and above all, to benefit root. I've already shown some social skills in manipulation.
Danzo belives that my idea has potential, but my ninja talent and combat talent would be wasted on such a passive mission. He believes that I should focus more on developing my skills for now rather than for me to focus on some mission.
I show underneath my toung , channeling chakra to make the seal visible and say, " I'm always going to be a root ninja, I'll keep training in name of joining ninja academy . If i join the leaf village through traditional means, I can further act as your man on the inside."
Soon, Danzo comes to tell me that my mission is approved. My mom has gone on an anbu assassination mission. Danzo himself took money from Target in name of protecting him through black market. Officially, my mom died, fighting against the target's hired guards.
In reality though, she had taken on another name and is now a wandering ronin in land of whirlpool. She is tasked with creating a mercenary organisation that can act without leaving traces of any connection to leaf village.
My first mission starts, I'm the newest member of konoha orphanage. One of the first things I did was become quick friends with Naruto uzumaki. Pretty much everyone hates him, from the caretakers to our peers.
It was actually pretty easy to makes freinds with the isolated kid. He even has unlimited stamina, so any playtime with him can easily replace phisical training.
I quickly beat down any peer who tried to bother me about befriending the demon child , climbing the bully hierarchy pretty fast, even challenging older orphans. I would often get beatup, but you should see the other guy.
The only bully i couldn't beat were the caregivers. They kept the hate alive. I use my communications with root to try and slowly replace the caretakers with root personal. The whole orphanage had only 4 caretakers. 3 sisters doing 8 hour shifts each and 1 head matron.
2 months into my deep cover, i finally got my wish and a root trained civilian named Eveie was sent to replace the night shift sister. Her duties include tucking everyone in for the night( night attendance) and waking everyone up to send them for bath. Rest of the time, her duties are more akin to a watchman than a caretaker.
She already knows who I am and is relatively submissive to me. She was personally trained by my mother, having spent years undercover as a konoha merchant's daughter. Often times, I'll patroll the orphanage halls with her at night, talking about my plans for my mission and the orphanage.
Naruto has found his first crush in her. Under previous sister, he never got hot water, she always used to send him to a shower that had plumbing issues. Naruto had no concept of hot showers before Eveie's existence, putting her in a special place in his heart.
As an adult espionage agent under root, she has some ninja talent, but despite being 24 years old, she is still only as good as a recent graduate from the academy. This is because her training has been focused on espionage. Any ninja tricks she knows are for survival alone.
While a normal ninja might only learn elemental techniques later in their career , focusing on accademy 3 justus until their graduation. An espionage ninja only learns a jutsu if their assignment would benefit from it. Having too much chakra from training can also attract attention afterall.
I find out that Eveie had been working as an agent in kirigakure due to her affinity for wind chakra. The only jutsu she knows is a jutsu that allows her to breathe under water by converting chakra into breathable oxygen.
It is just a E- rank jutsu called "Supple breathing" . But it benefits greatly from proficiency. While a novice can only use it sparingly, consuming great ammounts of chakra, limiting the time underwater. An expert in this technique can reduce the chakra cost a lot , to a point where they can immediately breath under water. Even those sent to lightning village usually learn this due to lack of oxygen in some of the higher mountains.
Eveie tells me that other affinity can help with espionage in other situations. She has a contemporary who had affinity for water element. That person was taught the technique to turn chakra into drinking water to help with their missions in sand village.
But almost no one practices these e rank utility jutsus to those levels other than these agents, since these are the only jutsu they ever learn.
Those recruits with fire, earth and lighting affinity are usually kept for combat, teaching them higher level justus.
Fire and lightning as primary affinities usually guarantee a spot as root anbu assassins, unless they show no combat potential.
Earth affinity people are specifically kept in konoha to act as counter espionage. They are backbone of root and it's underground presence.
During my night strolls with Eveie, i learn the E-rank jutsu, Wind release: supple breathing technique from her. It involves closing your nose with chakra, and slowly converting some of that chakra into breathable air. It involves breathing in through nose and breathing out from mouth.
My whole day goes in playing tag ,hide and seek and other games with Naruto and other orphans, while my nights are spent learning supple breathing from Eveie. Any free time in between is spent on naps.
