Naruto: The Sarutobi Who Can't Spark

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Metamorphosis



Wixx's mind flooded with all ubiquitous information.

The sudden death because of shock, soul disintegration, and sudden integration, the unknown dimension, powerful might that dragged his soul, consumption of some potent energy, dissipating of soul and devouring of it, the anguish and pain in a child's eyes, memory of the child with his lovely parent, death of thousands shinobi, death of Fourth Hokage, attack of nine-tailed fox…

"Wait…Shinobi, Fourth Hokage, and Nine Tailed Fox!?" Wixx shouted in bewilderment.

Raijin Sarutobi…4 years of age…Sarutobi Clan…Konohagakure…

Wixx was jolted by all this information, a sudden startled made him tip forward, especially because he tried to stand up quickly in reaction.

"Takeshi and Mikako…"

'Huh?'

Tears flowed down from the dried stain on his cherubic cheek when he muttered the name of his late father and mother. He was confused at first but -memories all dialed back in, he was now well aware of what had happened.

Wixx wiped off his tears closing his red puffy eyes and took a nearby cloth to wipe off his nose.

He slowly stood up on his feet and walked towards the window. Outside the window, the devastating destruction dyed two-fifths of the village in crimson color.

Wixx stood there in silence while his breathing turned shallow, and irregular, a broken metronome marking time in gasps. His lungs forgot their rhythm, stuttering like an engine running on empty.

The dust motes danced in the single beam of light that managed to penetrate the room he was standing in. It was now dawn.

Breath In…Breath Out… Breath In…Breath Out…

He finally muttered, "I wonder if Ana is worried about me. She would be angry the next time she sees me…"

Wixx closed his eyes. Every information that flooded into his mind, scarred themselves into his brain.

'Naruto's World huh, I'm glad Evan made me read the manga and watch the anime while I was in the hospital bed. Incompetent as he was, I hope he survives the explosion.'

Wixx darted his eyes around the room.

His eyes locked on a mirror beside the window hanging right beneath a ninja medical kit; this ninja medical kit was a must to have in a shinobi home.

He climbed up the folded mattress to grab the mirror.

After trying for the 3rd time with no success, Wixx stacked up everything that could balance and hold his weight and successfully retrieved the mirror.

He descended from the tower of mattress and kept all the objects above the mattress, in their own place, leaving the mattress as it was.

He put down the mirror leaning it towards the wall beneath the window and sat in front of it.

Raijin typically has a small, delicate frame, short, spiky black hair, soft cheeks, and big expressive deep brown eyes that seem to take in everything around them with wonder. His skin is smooth and rosy, a glow of a child untouched by time.

Raijin wore a traditional shinobi costume, featuring a dark blue jacket.

"I look like a 4-year-old kid, hmm…this cruel world can even shape a delicate looking child into a full-fledged shinobi."

Sigh…

He looked around and his eyes stopped to a family photo placed on the table. He reached out to grab the family photo.

The family photo sat on the table is set in a simple, wooden frame, slightly worn but polished to a soft gleam. Inside, captured in a warm, timeless moment, Takashi and Mikako along with Raijin stand together, each face radiating with joy.

His heart ached as he wouldn't be able to experience unconditional love again. Love was etched only into his memory, which was Raijin's past.

Wixx, solemn in his voice said, "Rest in Peace…" he stopped for half a second "Mother and Father."

He couldn't just abandon a child's memories etched deep into his mind just because he couldn't meet them.

The memory of the child with his parents truly gave Wixx the paternal love that he never got to experience in his previous life. He grew up with his Uncle and Aunt's care, though, the care was sufficient enough, love was what he internally craved. Ultimately, from Raijin's memory, he got to experience parental love, even though it was brief.

He immediately stood up and went to light incense to pay homage to his deceased parents.

After lighting incense, and a couple of moments of silence, he went to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

He was curious as to why his soul was able to integrate and travel in such different dimensions but also retain its memories of the past. It was nonetheless useless curiosity because he likely won't have a conclusion near to the actual truth.

'My soul was able to devour massive energy at that unknown dimension, and yet it was also able to devour all those scattered Nine Tail's Chakra in Konoha. Was it because the soul was in a weakened state due to disintegration?'

'If the devouring of unknown energies was meant to mend my soul because of its disintegration, then what about the Nine Tail's Chakra?'

He pondered for a while with no logical conclusion as his situation was completely illogical.

Those scattered chakras would later be collected and sealed in another child making that child pseudo-jinchuriki. But devouring those chakras by Wixx's soul has now changed the future.

'Well, the pseudo-jinchuriki was able to manifest 4 tails in anime, I hope that doesn't happen to me.'

'Soul devouring the chakra and energies…. that...no, this is peculiar.'

Unbeknownst to him, the chakra and those energies devoured by his soul were beneficial to him. The energies from the unknown dimension were indeed for his soul to integrate and mend but not all those energies were meant for one soul.

These energies will seep out of the soul because of their humongous amount. If the soul were to be reborn in an infant, the seeping energy would transform the infant's body in the future to have tremendous strength. But the infant's body probably won't be able to use all those tremendous powers even if a millennium passes because of it being foreign, unlike the Chakras from God Tree in this world.

Whereas the violent nature of the Nine-Tailed Chakra in the infant without a powerful seal would likely cause the child to die. Due to this, Fourth Hokage split up the Nine-Tailed yin chakra and sealed the yang chakra in an infant with a powerful seal.

Wixx who has otherworldly potent energy and Nine-Tailed yin-yang chakra in the soul of a 4-year-old body, was insanity.

Not only did the Yin-Yang Chakra of Nine-Tailed get purified and become much more powerful, but it also helped the otherworldly remnant energies to get utilized in his body.

However, if his body becomes unable to handle his soul, he likely will die due to the shortcomings of his weak body. His soul will not perish until the potent energy gets used up on continuous disintegration and integration.

Oblivious to the truth, he focused on his current situation. He was now a young Sarutobi Raijin.
