Into the Shadows (Naruto fanfiction)

Chapter 3 ✅

As time went on I've begun to semi understand what my parents are saying, but only simple words like 'apple' and 'hello,' but I've never understood full sentences. The only problem was I was bored most of the time. My only solution was to test out my chakra because really, what else was I to do.

Weeks passed and I've started to get the hang of my chakra, but it hurts. It's like a stinging sensation all throughout my body. I guess it's to be expected since I'm 'new' to this world.

Every baby is 'new' to the world, but they don't really have an understanding of what's happening, I do. I guess my mind is in a subconscious state where I can't learn such foreign things such as chakra, where it's natural in this world, but not my old one. Take Shikamaru for example, he's not crying from pain and when he gets older he still won't be in pain. His body and mind have already adapted while mine have not.

This pain still doesn't stop me. I think all I have to do really is kinda make myself adapt. You can change your minds way of thinking by doing something so many times. Chakra control just needs practice to get the hang of.

Months pass and I continue to use and hurt myself with chakra. But by now I start to say actual, noticeable words. You'd be surprised, but my first word was something on the line of book.

I'm also able to walk a few steps without falling, I think I'm over doing it sometimes. I can crawl so I guess that's getting somewhere.

Since I'm able to move around on my own kinda, I've made it my duty to bug my parents with reading to me. I want to read as soon as possible though I think I'm learning too fast. I just can't help it, I don't want to be helpless. I want to know everything so I'm not left behind.

My thirst for knowledge became known by my parents. They read to me every chance they got, which I'm great full for.

As time passed I'm able to speak in full sentences, understand what others are saying and I'm able to read by myself. I'm about 2 now, and beyond advanced compared to Shikamaru.

My only problem with this new language is the writing. My muscles just don't want to corporate with me, but I'm getting the hang of it. Soon enough I'll write.

In this 2 year time span, the pain from the chakra has gotten better if I stay at home. If I travel, even just around close to town, I start to hurt again. I'm now starting to thinks it's hopeless, I'm not giving up on using my chakra, but I think it's never going to stop, the constant pain.

Sometimes the pain is too great and I can't move at all. I'm constantly sick as well, so I'm in the hospital a lot. I personally get treated by Lady Tsunade. Imagine my surprise when I found this out, I've always thought that she left the village and wasn't coming back because of what happened to her brother and her boyfriend, but I guess I was an extra special case. I bet it had to do with this one time Dad took me to the Hokage's office because of how badly I was acting with the pain.

I'll live with it, yes, but I still have to find a way to get used to moving around.

On a more positive note, I've gotten better at chakra control! On those days my mom and dad couldn't read or teach me, I've been trying to make things like my blanket stick to me. It's gotten so easy, whenever I'm bored I grab on to something stick to it.

Time went by quickly, and I'm about twice as smart as Shikamaru, but only in everything your would learn in regular school. In shoji neither of us can win against each other because me and him have different ways of playing. I evade attacks and Shikamaru sets up attacks, we contradict each other.

At the age of 3, I actually forgot I was reincarnated so when I remembered I was, I wanted to know what I look like now. Looking in a mirror I see a girl with long, slightly wavy dark brown hair, dark eyes and fair skin. I smile at my reflection, I kinda look like my mom.
