My story begins where most would end, my death. I remember much of my life before I died, but the circumstances around my death itself remain a mystery to me. I do remember the sound of pieces of metal crashing together and pain, so much pain.

But that life isn't what's important right now, though the memories are. However, I don't realize this for quite some time after my rebirth. About two years to be exact, which is coincidentally where this story picks up.

Waking up in the body of a two year old child after hitting puberty is... strange, but as I've recently been a baby, it's an improvement. I actually have some mobility now!

Also I had to learn an entirely new language that that looks and sounds like Japanese, but the language was never actually named. I once asked my new mom what the language was called, and she told me it didn't have one.

The soft creak of the door gives away my mother's approach. "Yoruka, breakfast is ready," she says as she smiles at me. "Also, your father is back from his mission!" She sounds almost... giddy.

Wait, my father? I honestly thought Mom was a single parent until this very moment. Huh. Also, mission? Is he a secret agent or something? But if he were a secret agent, would he really be permitted to tell Mom what he was actually doing? "That's great!" I reply, though it sounds more like a question.

"Yeah," Mom sighs happily, "he's downstairs waiting for us." Her dark brown eyes sparkle with excitement as she exits the room.

I get up and follow Mom out of my bedroom and down the stairs to the dining room where a dark haired man is waiting for us. He doesn't really look like a secret agent, though he does seem fit enough for it. In fact, he just looks... tired.

His entire face lights up when he sees us, and he moves forward. I get a good look at his outfit and, what?

He has one of those Naruto headbands on his arm. And uh, he's dressed like a character from Naruto too, mesh and everything. Again, what?!

The man sweeps Mom into a tight hug. "Nara Takeshi, if you ever get a deep cover mission right after I give birth again, I will go yell at the Hokage myself!" My mother not so calmly informs my apparent father after she's done hugging him.

Next he sweeps me into a hug, and I can vaguely hear him muttering about how he missed his baby girl so much.

I don't really notice because I'm fairly sure I went into shock. Nara, HOKAGE, WHAT?! Did I... no that's impossible! I can't have actually been reborn into NARUTO of all universes.

Unfortunately, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense and I want to kick myself for not noticing earlier. Dammit, I didn't even watch the first series. I started at Shipuden.

I thought all three of the main characters were annoying, and the only reason I watched Shipuden was because I heard they got better. They did, and I absolutely adore older Team Seven, but I got through the wave arc and I wanted to strangle them the entire time, so I just stopped.

BUT STILL, THE NARUTO WORLD!?
