Chapter 171 - A Reincarnators PoV
It has been five years since I got reincarnated and so far, my second life hasn't been going like I wanted it to go. Although my parents are very kind, they, unfortunately, have a rather low standing in the clan. Luckily, after showing how much of a "genius" I am, that aspect improved a bit. Well, due to having a mental age of slightly above 20, it is only natural that I do better than other kids, but I am not really sure for how long I can keep that advantage. After all, the memories of my previous life aren't too helpful in learning how to fight and only my mature mind helps me surpass the people in my generation.
On another note, feeling chakra rush through your body feels absolutely amazing, and feeling myself getting stronger at a rapid pace is quite an amazing feeling as well. Well, I say "rapid pace", but I honestly have no idea how to judge my own strength. Considering the person who is teaching me the Gentle Fist can still easily toy around with me, my growth will probably not result in me being able to fight a Kage after I am done with the academy.
Another thing I have noticed is, that I don't see Hinata anymore. Although I saw her only occasionally and didn't talk to her due to "the difference in status", I haven't seen her around for quite a while now. I hope me being here didn't cause any trouble for her. People were already looking down on her for not being as talented as Neji, but Neji's father was at least the brother of the clan head. I, on the other hand, am just a random child born between two people from the branch family. Well, if something happened to Hinata, I would like to help her, but I cannot even take care of myself right now so, sorry Hinata.
One year later, I finally found out what happened to Hinata. She was actually banished from the clan! Is Hiashi insane? Who the f* banishes his own daughter just because she isn't good at learning a combat style!? I hope some fate nonsense, or whatever, will happen and she still ends up with Naruto. I can't wait to see Hiashi's face when Naruto in Kurama Mode kicks down his door and beats his ass for abandoning Hinata like that.
Another two years passed, and it was finally time to attend the shinobi academy. Yet again, my plans were crushed when I found out that Naruto was actually a year above me, but now I could at least confirm that Hinata was somewhat fine. She was just as meek as she was in the anime, but at least Naruto was with her. Well, Naruto and another girl with red hair that had blue streaks. Who was that? A character that never had any screen time during the anime? She seems to be close to Naruto, so that's impossible. WAIT! IS SHE ANOTHER REINCARNATOR!? THAT WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL!!!
A few more years passed, and today was a big event. The finals of the chunin exam. Most of the Hyuga clan members were there to witness the "Hyuga clan genius" Neji Hyuga becoming a chunin. Well, considering how it went in cannon I very much doubt that Neji will be promoted.
On the day of the exam, I couldn't help but be surprised by the match pairings. First of all, how come Hinata and Neji are both in the third round? They didn't fight in the preliminaries this time? And, as expected, Yuna Uzumaki, the redheaded girl I often see together with Naruto is in the last round as well. No matter how I look at it, she is a reincarnated person as well. Did she wish to be reincarnated as Naruto's sister or something like that? As far as I could tell, Hinata is part of their group as well, so I hope she at least doesn't get beaten as badly by Neji as in canon.
Oh? Seems like the fight is starting…W-Well, at least Hinata's tongue is much sharper than it was in canon. Mhh? Can the Gentle Fist really be caught that ea…HOLY SH*T, SHE JUST SLAMMED NEJI INTO THE GROUND, HULK STYLE!!!… Fellow reincarnator, what in the world did you do with Hinata?
Damn, she is completely taking Neji apart. To think the Gentle Fist had so many weaknesses, good thing I secretly learned another style as well. Hiashi actually wants Neji to use the curse seal, huh? What a shameless old m…SHE DOESN'T HAVE IT ANYMORE!!!? How is that possible? D-Did Yuna do it? What kind of cheat did she wish for? Can she remove mine as well?
She even admits that she was responsible for modifying the seal and even dares to provoke the whole Hyuga clan. Is she insane? As expected, Hiashi snapped and…almost got killed by Hinata?! Excuse me, Miss Yuna, is there a special reason why you turned Hinata into an assassin?
As expected, after Neji and Hiashi both got their asses kicked, the clan elders want to scurry away, luckily, I managed to convince them that one person, me, stays here to "determine how strong they are". Well, that wasn't even a lie, since I want to see how strong Yuna actually is. Let's see how I can compare to my fellow reincarnator. I wonder how well she does against Sasuke.
Aaaaaand… it was a one-sided beatdown. What the hell? Isn't she too strong!? And that jutsu name at the end…Did she seriously just genderbend Sasuke? Shouldn't there be a limit to what she can do?
Well, she apparently wants to fight Naruto and Hinata at the same time, so this should be interesting. I haven't seen Naruto fight yet, so I wonder what he will do.
O-okay, what the hell? Are all three of them reincarnated people!? Three chakra tails, ice style, Raikage-style chakra armor but with wind, and Hinata can even use Sage Mode!? WHAT! THE! HELL! I guess my strength is around the level of a weak chunin, so why are these three already at the jonin level? Isn't this too unfair? DID SHE JUST KISS HINATA!? That is Naruto's wife, you know!? Are you fine with that!?
Whatever, since Naruto, seems to be fine with it, who am I to butt in? The only opponent remaining now is Gaara, but I guess that fight will be interrupted by the invasion.
Wait a moment? Uzumaki Namikaze?! She revealed who her father was already!? Reestablishment of the Uzumaki clan!? And now that I think about it, was that the [Flying Thunder God]!? Isn't this going too fast? Guess I can pretty much throw my knowledge about canon out of the window by now. Damn, another advantage is gone.
And now she is even toying around with Gaara and has the Uzumaki clan's chakra chains as well. Just how many cheats did she pile up on herself?
O-Oi! Is she allowing Gaara to transform inside the arena?! Is she completely insane? I need to get out of here!
Sh*t, what is with my bad luck? Why the hell did I have to meet an enemy shinobi? Worst of all, he is stronger than me. I hope someone could hel…Did he just die? Oh? Hinata actually saved me. Better thank her properly, to make it clear that I have no animosity against her. Haha, she even seems a little surprised. That's good. If I could somehow get closer to Hinata, it might even be possible to have Yuna help me remove this damn seal. I really hope this works out somehow.
