TBATE: The Beginning of My Redemption

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

The battlefield was silent, a stark contrast to the chaos that had raged just moments before. Blood-soaked earth and broken bodies bore witness to the fierce clash between two of the most powerful shinobi the world had ever known. In the center of the devastation, I lay on my back, my chest heaving with labored breaths.

Naruto's face hovered over me, a mix of sorrow and relief etched into his features. "Sasuke...," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.

I tried to respond, but my vision blurred, and the world faded into darkness. The cold embrace of death took hold, pulling me away from the life I had known.

Suddenly, there was light. Blinding, brilliant light. My eyes fluttered open to see two figures standing over me, their voices a jumble of sounds I couldn't understand.but I could hear my name being called, but before I could comprehend what was happening, my consciousness, faded again.

Two months later

I found myself staring out the window from my bed, lost in thought. "How did this happen?" I wondered. Since regaining my memories a month ago, I don't know if it's an illusion or real.

I tried various methods to make sense of it. I checked for illusions but couldn't sense my chakra anymore, and my Sharingan and Rinnegan had disappeared too. Instead, I could feel two strange energies that I can't really explain. Unlike chakra, these energies are in the air.

Before I could delve deeper into my thoughts, someone lifted me. "Sasu, it's time to change, hehe," said my new mother, Alice Leywin. Her brown hair framed her glowing brown eyes, and her warm smile felt comforting. Although I felt embarrassed that someone was changing me and seeing my parts, somehow I enjoyed it. I don't know why, but I could feel something warm inside me.

Alice carefully set me down and turned to my brother. "Art, it's your turn now, hehe," she said, helping him with his clothes.

I still couldn't fully understand her, maybe because this body is not fully developed, but I recognized the names of my new family members based on their interactions. Despite my underdeveloped ears, it was clear that my new father often tried to get me and Arthur to call him "papa," while Alice insisted it was too soon for babies to speak.

After a few minutes, Alice finished. "All done. Now, you two, it's sleeping time," she said, looking at us before heading to the kitchen to prepare a meal for her husband, who would be home soon.

As I watched my mother leave, I felt embarrassed by my lack of control over my own body. But just like Naruto showed me, willpower is everything. After some struggling, I shifted my position to see my younger brother, who is only five minutes younger than me, looking at Arthur. Something in me feels that I should protect him. Is this what Itachi felt when he saw me, I wonder.

Suddenly, Arthur turned and smirked at me. I didn't always understand why, but it seemed like he was trying to say hello, maybe. I can't say for sure since I never understand babies.

However, because of my undeveloped body, exhaustion overtook me, and my eyelids grew heavy. Soon, I fell asleep.

Three months later

i laid on my belly i look at my new father throwing Arthur up and then catching him. I could already see it was going to end badly if he dropped Arthur. After a few minutes, our mother came in and saw this. "REY, what are you going to do if he falls?" Mother shouted at Father. In her surprise, Father stopped, which gave her relief. However, Father didn't stop there; he began to swing Arthur to the right at a fast speed, and Arthur began to cry. Father stopped completely—it seemed Arthur had hit his leg.
