Chapter 3: Chapter 2 Which Release?
When Ritsu came to be.
He found himself back in bed with a window if it could be called that since there's no glass.
There were just wooden shutters used to close and open the supposed window.
Ritsu quickly got up from bed as it wasn't comfortable as it was just a wooden slab with some furs to make it easier to sleep on.
Taking a look at himself, it doesn't seem that much has happened, in fact he felt a little shorter.
'System what happened?'
[The host was undergoing the awakening of Chakra because you still one year old there were a lot of unblock Chakra nodes hence causing a lot of pain than what you're use to hence you blacking out.
Don't worry host there aren't any negative consequences since it was done by the system, normally children who awaken their Chakra before their pathways are unblocked usually suffer negative consequences such as crippling themselves or lowering their potential if they do manage to go through it.
There may even be hidden injuries that they will never be able to recover from.]
'Okay that's great but how was I brought back?'
[A hunter of the Karatachi clan was coming back with a wild boar but found you on his way back]
'He hunted a boar so early in the morning'
[He's a ninja how hard is that to understand host?]
'Nope none at all I just forgot that I was in the Naruto Universe. Does that mean I can use my chakra for ninjutsu now?'
[Host still need sets of hand seals to use ninjutsu]
'I'll just ask my father'
[Host did you forget that there were videos on ninjutsu handed by god.]
'Wait so do I have a library of ninjutsu including every single ninjutsu ever made.'
[ 'That would ruin the fun' said God. Instead he gave you a single rank from E to A water ninjutsu and once you created a unique ninjutsu of Water of S rank, he will give you a ninjutsu of Water ranked SSS]
'That's foolish, just give me all my jutsu, then what about space ninjutsu'
[None you only have videos explaining chakra use on those ninjutsu and how they came to be.]
'Then I should just ask my father for some seals and study these basic ninjutsu and have them praise me as a genius.'
With an objective now Ritsu left his room. Upon seeing his father not at the house nor his mother he left the house in search of them.
Seeing the bright sun's position look like it's a bit past noon he figure he was out for around four to five hours or so.
He walked to the south of his house to where he saw a campfire with a huge pot above.
There was a stall the size of a garage that had what he assumed to be all female clan members cooking chopping up vegetables cutting up the boar what he assumed was hunted earlier along with what looked to be a huge chicken with its feathers already plucked.
Seeing a woman taller than the rest of the women by at least a head than most along with dark brown hair and slightly more pink eyes.
The woman whom he recognized as his mother, Tamami, he quickly began walking to her.
Once he reach he tugged onto the coat she was wearing, "Mother"
Hearing Ritsu Tamami showed a surprised face, "Ritsu!" she said in a worried tone as she knelt and held her child,
"Ritsu, Shin said that you had awakened your chakra. Do you know what you did was so dangerous. I was so worried, she said you wouldn't wake up for a while"
"Well, I'm awake now so I'm okay" Ritsu responded as he hugged his mother back.
Hearing Ritsu talk so much, Tamami tightened her hug and squealed in glea, "Ritsu you talked!"
"Yes mother I can talk." he exhaled as the hug was too tight for the one year old him.
He tried to recall his predecessor's memories and realized his predecessor never talked once to his parents.
He just briefly nodded to any questions and greetings.
Ritsu would have been squeezed to death if it wasn't for his stomach growling saying he was hungry.
Hearing her son's stomach growl Tamami quickly grabbed leftovers from breakfast onto a wooden bowl before giving it to her son.
Grabbing the bowl Ritsu quickly chowed down on what he assumed to be chicken and some vegetables he's never seen before.
Seeing her son's chubby cheeks chow down on the food made her rub her hand through Ritsu's hair.
After finishing the food he handed the bowl back to his mother, "Thank you" and as soon as those words dropped he cheeks were assaulted by his mother, "Nooo!"
Seeing her son's adorable attempt at stopping her from squeezing his adorable chubby cheeks she laughs lightly before stopping.
Ritsu rubbing his cheeks gave his mother a glare, except to his mother it looked adorable. "Mother where is father?" Ritsu needed to find him to learn ninjutsu.
"Your father….. He should be in the Clan's meeting house. They're holding a meeting right now so they shouldn't be disturbed. Just take care of yourself now go play with the other children. Mamas gotta get back to work"
Tamami said as she gave one last look at Ritsu before going back to work clearly bothered
"Okay" ignoring her request for him to go play with the children.
Ritsu started to walk towards the clan meeting house which is to the north of the settlement.
Just before he walked any further he quickly looked back and activated his identify ability before once again walking towards the Clan Meeting House.

'What the hell the clan is wasting so much potential not training female shinobis'
Ritsu eventually saw the clan meeting house in the distance and proceeded to run to it.
'Wait a second. System what is my bloodline percentage now?'
[65%]
—-----------------
Inside the Clan meeting house
"Lord Nao your son is a genius"
"Who has ever heard of a child awakening their chakra on their own at the age of 1 without any consequences."
"Not even the famed Clans in the land of fire have the capabilities"
"This will be the rise of the Karatachi Clan"
A wooden room, in the room is a bunch of kneeling mat and small stand at the front side of the room allowing the Clan Head of the Karatachi Clan to be at a higher elevation than the rest of the members.
The Clan Head, Nao Karatachi, frowned at the comments by the rest of his clansmen, " I agree that my son is an outstanding genius however, we all remember what happened with Suzuki do we not?"
At the words of Nao the rest of clansmen quieted down remembering the young genius of the Karatachi Clan who died around ten years ago.
"We should train Ritsu early even more than we did with Suzuki so the past can not be repeated.", responded an older member of the Karatachi Clan.
A cross scar at the left temple of his head. His already graying hair, wrinkled cheeks.
It is Chikao, the oldest member of the Karatachi Clan.
Hearing the words of the Chikao some of the clansmen show signs of approval.
"It is because of the pressure the Clan had put on Suzuki that had him succumb into pressure." retorted the Clan Head
"I will once again state it is because Suzuki spent his time leasuringly not taking into account the Clans needs!
He could have used that time to train even more, so when the time called for him to go on a mission there would be no mishaps.
Just like ten years ago, we lost a good chunk of our clan trying to ward off the Fuji Clan near us.
There was no chance of failure in the mission led by Suzuki.
Instead we had Suzuki return saying he couldn't and that he let us down and due to his severe injuries he eventually succumbed to death." Chikao paused.
Hearing his words, more members of the Clan are starting to lean to raise Ritsu as a weapon.
Seeing the support behind his idea Chikao continued, "Also don't forget that because the mission failed that the Fuji Clan had the audacity to kick us out of our territory causing us to lose even more members and our previous Clan Head.
When the Clan head fell that day in battle we had no choice but retreat while covering for our families.
That day I won't forget I lost so much but it is not just I who lost much but everyone here.
I'm sure no one wants to continue suffering right?!"
Finally the group of clans men stand showing their approval,
"Lord Nao the child is a genius, we must make sure he brings the Karatachi Clan back to its peak."
"We've suffered so much we will be able to make the Fuji Clan pay"
"He'll strike fear into our enemies"
Facing the crowd of Shinobi riled up in front of him.
The Clan Head couldn't help but think nothing he could do to prevent his son from being raised as a weapon.
Some might think that he was the Clan Head; they had no choice but to listen to him.
However, he does not have the influence nor the power to help with decision making at most times.
Ten years ago he was in charge of guiding the clan to retreat.
He was fourteen at the time, his father forbade him from being part of the clash in one last attempt to drive away the Fuji Clan, it was all for naught.
The moment he fell the surviving members of the clash retreated providing support for the other clansmen falling behind causing more casualties.
Nao clenched his fist at the thought of having an emotionless killer, his son used as a tool.
His son was already a quiet and shy person.
The thought that such a person can bear the weight of the future of the clan bothered.
All for the greater cause he told himself.
Knock
Knock
A series of knocks resounded throughout the meeting room.
All clansmen turn to look at the entrance of the building to see a boy with pale skin, dark pink eyes that have a glistening look to them, and light brown hair.
The boy was none other than Ritsu, the boy they were all talking about.
Nao, seeing that it was his son, couldn't help but show a surprised expression as it was estimated by Shin that Ritsu wouldn't have woken up till tomorrow, "Ritsu what are you doing here, you have interrupted the meeting."
Nao sternly said not expecting an answer from his not talkative son.
Ritsu, not being fazed by all the looks he's receiving as he walks in the aisle stopping right before his father, "Greeting to the Clan Head". Ritsu said as he bowed while activating his identify ability.
[Nao Karatachi
Age: 24
Affiliation: Wife 110, Clan 85, Ritsu 110
Talent: Swords B, Special Jonin?, Water C, Earth C
Kekkei Genkai: First born's a midget
Bloodline: 40%
Summary: A kind man not suitable to be a leader, once devoted to something nothing can change his mind.
Raising an eyebrow as Nao never told his son to address him as such, "Say Ritsu what has brought you here?"
Ritsu paused before looking at his father, 'damn bastard what's this about being a midget' Ritsu had already came up with an excuse to interrupt the meeting.
He wasn't planning to intervene but since the meeting seemed to pertain to him he listened as they discussed about using him to be a tool.
"Father I remember you practicing using lightning, I wanna learn that" which is true cause this happened around a week ago he returned mad which caused him to practice quietly in a seiza position drawing his sword.
Showing a bewildered faced Nao looked at his son confused as to why he has shown interest in this as Ritsu has seen him do such practice before but has never shown such interest, "Why" was all he could muster to say
"Because it looked cool" Ritsu said with face showing excitement.
"Ritsu you are too youn…"
"Nonsense, Ritsu don't listen to your father, you have already awakened your chakra, you can perform ninjutsu now albeit with some difficulty.
We'll train so you for the greater good of the clan" Chikao interrupted
Nao angered quickly state, "Noo Ritsu is too youn"
Nao was interrupted one more, "Old man can you do lightning too?"
Ritsu gave his most childlike asking face he could give.
"Ritsu you must address me as your elder, and yes I can perform lighting ninjutsu"
"Then old man are you best?" Ritsu gave another childlike tone.
With a tickmark Chikao responded, "I am not the best lightning user in the clan Eito is our best user"
"Then he should teach me"
"Does that you'll train for the greater good of the clan?"
"No Father doesn't seem to want to train me that much, but I'll train more often if you buy me ink and paper" Ritsu said
Seeing the change from childlike tone to a more of a civil person approach stunned the clansmen.
Hearing Ritsu's response Chikao reaffirms his belief in training young Ritsu into a weapon for the clan, "So if you follow my training regiment I just have to buy you and paper is that right?"
"Also a brush and consider yourself a deal" Ritsu extended his arm to shake with Chikao.
One might ask why would he follow Chikao regiment.
Ritsu has seen plenty of games, novel and anime where someone wants to use the protagonist as a weapon or train them hardcore.
Half the time the protagonist destroys said person and gets strong at a ridiculous scale or the protagonist is subdued and trained to the point where their personality is warped.
Since Ritsu is incapable of the first choice, its better to step in and change the situation in the second choice by being compliant in the matter.
