章節 3: Chapter 3
Time passed slowly for Kaito, though he could feel the changes within himself with each passing month. His once-fuzzy thoughts grew sharper, and his control over his body steadily improved. At nearly two years old, he could now toddle around on wobbly legs and manipulate his surroundings with increasing dexterity. His parents delighted in his small accomplishments, their smiles warm and encouraging, though he knew they saw him as nothing more than an unusually bright child. But Kaito knew the truth: he wasn't just another child. He had a purpose here, and a rare advantage—his memories of the future.
Kaito observed everything, soaking in his surroundings and listening for any details that might reveal where he'd landed in Konoha's timeline. His parents would often share stories, and whenever his father returned from duty, Kaito listened intently to the gossip he exchanged with his mother.
One crisp morning, as Kaito sat on his father's knee, listening to him talk with his mother, a crucial piece of information slipped out.
"…Yeah, everyone in the village's been keeping an eye on the Uchiha clan," his father said, tone slightly tense. "Ever since that coup rumor started spreading, tensions have been high. And with Itachi recently promoted, well… let's just hope things settle down soon."
The words hit Kaito like a bolt of lightning. The Uchiha clan. His heart raced. He knew this story all too well from the anime: this was the period of the Uchiha clan's near-extinction, a tragedy orchestrated by Konoha's higher-ups and executed by Itachi Uchiha himself. If Itachi had recently been promoted, that meant Kaito had arrived in the village only a short time before one of the most infamous events in Konoha's history—the Uchiha massacre.
This revelation brought a whirlwind of thoughts. He was living in an era of fragile peace, a temporary calm that would one day shatter into chaos. And though he was still only a child, he knew that he had to make a plan, a roadmap for the years ahead. His mind drifted to everything he remembered about Naruto's world—the events, the battles, the wars.
Kaito's young body limited what he could do, but he spent many hours organizing his thoughts, quietly planning for the future. He began mentally listing the events he knew were on the horizon. His memories of Naruto and the broader series returned with surprising clarity, as if they'd been ingrained in him for this very purpose.
The Uchiha Massacre: This was set to happen soon. Though he had no way to change it as a child, he wanted to be aware of it, knowing it would leave a mark on Konoha for years to come. Sasuke, the only survivor, would become central to many future events. And the massacre itself would drive home the darkness and sacrifices the village was built on.
The Chunin Exams and Orochimaru's Invasion: In a few years, Konoha would be thrown into chaos by the rogue Sannin, Orochimaru. This event would result in the death of the Third Hokage, ushering in a new era under Tsunade. Kaito knew that by this time, he needed to be prepared, at least enough to help protect his family and village.
The Akatsuki and the Fourth Great Ninja War: The shadowy group known as the Akatsuki would eventually hunt down the tailed beasts, leading to the war that would reshape the shinobi world. This was his ultimate focus—the war that would define the fate of the world. If he could become powerful enough, he might be able to influence its outcome, even if only from the sidelines.
He knew he had years before these events unfolded, but he could use this time wisely, strengthening himself and learning everything he could.
As Kaito's body matured, his maxed-out hidden attributes—especially Vitality, Constitution, and Will—began to affect his primary stats, giving him a head start on his physical development and chakra reserves. Each month, he felt stronger, sharper, and more coordinated, and his stamina outpaced what would be expected of any ordinary child.
Status Screen
Name: Kaito
Age: 1 year 9 months
Strength: 4
Intelligence: 3
Wisdom: 4
Dexterity: 3
Constitution: 4
Chakra: 0.05 K.U. (5% of Kakashi's Chakra)
Seeing his stats rise naturally encouraged him to push further. His chakra reserves had grown to 0.05 K.U., a subtle but steady increase. Though still only a fraction of Kakashi's reserves, the increase represented his daily efforts and the influence of his hidden attributes.
As his strength and agility improved, he focused intently on refining his chakra control. He spent quiet moments trying to keep his chakra flow steady, finding that his mental focus had also grown sharper. He practiced holding his chakra in one place, hoping to one day learn how to coat his hands or feet with it.
Maintaining a small, steady flow was taxing, but he knew it would be essential for learning even basic jutsu in the future. His Will attribute was a great help here, as he could push through the strain of concentration longer than most children. His mind remained sharp and stable, allowing him to make minute adjustments and build toward mastery of this most basic skill.
Alongside his chakra control training, Kaito was disciplined about strengthening his body. Every morning, he pushed himself through a routine of deliberate stretches, leg kicks, and hand-gripping exercises. As his balance and coordination grew, he began incorporating short sprints and controlled jumps. To his parents, he was an active and lively toddler, but for Kaito, this was training.
Each day's work led to visible progress. He could feel his Strength and Dexterity rising, his muscles growing firmer, and his balance becoming steadier. Even at this age, his progress outpaced that of the average toddler, and he felt physically tougher and more resilient. His hidden attributes were at work, fueling his natural growth, and the results were starting to show.
Now that he knew the timeline, Kaito felt the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders. He had years to prepare, but he wouldn't waste a moment. He would grow, learn, and adapt. Even as a commoner child, he would find a way to influence Konoha's future, to change the story he knew all too well. Perhaps he couldn't prevent the tragedies or wars, but he could protect the people he loved, and maybe one day, he'd be able to protect his village and the world beyond.
As he drifted off to sleep that night, Kaito's young heart was filled with a sense of purpose far beyond his years. And as he clenched his tiny fists, he made a silent vow: he would be ready when the time came. This world was on the brink of monumental change, and he intended to face it head-on, no matter what it took.
