Chapter 2: Swordsmith?

In a village called Konoha, a 3-year-old kid wakes up at night finding it confusing and dizzy as he suddenly has a few new memories.

Finding himself being a reincarnated person he checked himself and felt chakra had activated in his body, his name is 'Yoriichi Tsugikuni' like the first demon slayer. Born as a civilian and son to a swordsmith family, his father 'Kizuna Tsugikuni', and his mother 'Rui Tsugikuni' a civilian ninja chunin.

Yoriichi thought of trying the breathing technique he got, just as he tried breathing in the rhythm of 'water breathing' he started coughing as his small 3-year-old body couldn't handle the easiest breathing style, and he felt disappointed in his small body.

He started planning for the future thinking of becoming strong, although he had memories of his previous life, he was still young and as a 3-year-old. He knew but had no experience or connection to his previous life. This made it quick for him to fully adapt to this world. His emotions were the same as those of a 3-year-old boy.

The morning he received his memories he decided to start chakra control, he informed his parents about his chakra activation. His parents were surprised as chakra activation requires help from someone who has activated the chakra. Such surprises are very rare. Being happy they tried checking his chakra nature with chakra paper, but when Yoriichi flowed chakra into the paper he and his parents were confused as nothing happened to the paper, as fire, water, wind, earth and lightning consumed each other and transformed it into yin and yang the source of all elements.

Suddenly the paper disappeared, but in reality, it transformed into chakra. Yoriichi felt the paper transform, then he thought that he might be a sensor and it would be easier to activate the transparent world. He then tried circulating chakra and he felt like it was difficult to circulate for more than 5 min, his undeveloped body was restricting him more than he thought possible.

Being the son of a swordsmith he had to learn forging as he also had to become a swordsman, he thought of forging his sword differently as he had some idea about sword forging from his previous life ( YouTube has some nice katana forging videos) his imagination and understanding of sword forging knowledge from previous and present life he drew a paper and wrote a forging process he thought of improving it to a better version of his swords

He thought of using efficient and less expensive way of forging his sword by using chakra metal like chakra paths of human body, using thin chakra metal ( alloy) as edge of the sword with a little pure chakra metal as a vein and making the body with heavy nishirin stone tempered for 12 times with chakra fire, a very perfect sword he could think of he also thought of engraving it with seals when he learns it.

He had a good understanding of chakra, very different from how others use it. He understood that chakra is all about self-control the more he was in control of his body, mind and sword he could do everything possible on the limitations of the chakra.

One year time skip

He couldn't use his breathing technique until his body got strong. He used most of his time playing ( you don't get such luxury again) learning about sword forging with his father and learning about chakra and change of chakra nature as only kids with clan could learn about it before graduation. He made full use of his chakra and meditation to have better control of the chakra.

On the playground of Konoha, he made friends with kids his age he also saw Naruto in the forest when walking home, and although being scared (winter scene Naruto meets Hinata in the evening) he thinks of following him, he gets closer and sees him getting bullied by other kids and thought of helping him but then thought that if he did help him now his relationship with Hinata would not be the same as original.

After Naruto and Hinata went away he saw that his interference might have been bad as Naruto was being watched by the Anbu and Root, he came back home and thought that it would be better to stay away from Naruto to not get into unnecessary problems.
