“My name is Shimizu Mitsuki.
I will be 5 years old after my birthday this year. I live in District 7 of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, and of course, I am unmarried.
As a child, I never over-refined my Chakra, and my physical training was always light and brief.
I go to bed at 11 PM, ensuring I get 10 hours of sleep every day, and I drink a glass of warm milk before bed.
Then I do 20 minutes of stretching to warm up before sleeping, never carrying fatigue or stress over to the next day.
My neighbors all say I’m very normal!”
However, Shimizu Mitsuki had a secret he hadn't told anyone: he was actually a Transmigrator from Blue Star.
But Mitsuki’s method of Transmigration might have been slightly different from other Senior Transmigrators; he neither died suddenly from overwork due to exploitation by unscrupulous capitalists nor was he taken by an apocalyptic truck driver to boost sales.
Instead, one day, an asteroid with a diameter of over 24 kilometers, traveling at a speed of more than 24.5 kilometers per second, delivered a friendly face-breaking punch directly to Blue Star.
Before the impact event, officials tried to suppress the news, but how could such a thing be contained? Thus, the news that this asteroid, named 2019ok, was about to help humanity restart, still spread rapidly like a virus.
People never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. But fortunately, at least Shimizu Mitsuki died with understanding; it was just that he had just graduated from university and had only lived and worked freely in society for a year before facing the end of the world, which was somewhat regrettable.
It was as if he hadn't been a beast of burden long enough.
However, what Shimizu Mitsuki didn't expect was that he had Rebirth in the Naruto World with his memories from his previous life.
His Rebirth occurred not during the main Naruto storyline after Konoha Year 60, but during the Second Great Ninja War, when the Third Hokage was in his prime.
One might wonder if it's truly the Naruto World; Mitsuki’s mother, Shimizu Chiyoko, was forced to end her Ninja career due to an injury she sustained during her time as a Ninja. After giving birth to Mitsuki, her health continued to decline within a year, and she sadly passed away.
However, Shimizu Mitsuki was Rebirth with his memories from his previous life and had the ability to think from birth. Therefore, even though they only spent less than a year together, he still had some impression of Shimizu Chiyoko.
In stark contrast to the name “Chiyoko,” Chiyoko had a very fiery temper. Although she was too weak to walk on her own, she would often scold and hit Shimizu Mitsuki’s father, Shimizu Kento.
Shimizu Mitsuki’s father, Shimizu Kento, was a typical good-natured person.
Although Shimizu Mitsuki had never seen this character in the manga, Shimizu Kento's strength was surprisingly good.
Before Mitsuki came to this world, he was already an elite Jonin who had completed numerous A-rank and even S-rank missions.
People with high strength often attribute the misfortunes of those close to them to themselves, and Shimizu Kento was no different.
He believed that he had focused too much on his missions, thereby neglecting Chiyoko, who had always tried to keep up with him.
“She was always pushing herself; I was the one who harmed her.”
With such a guilty thought, Shimizu Kento himself might not have realized that his expression when facing Shimizu Chiyoko every day was always a forced smile.
That self-righteous expression was also why Shimizu Chiyoko had always disliked Mitsuki’s father.
After all, Chiyoko had a very strong personality.
Shimizu Kento's self-pity and self-reproach made her feel that her dignity and Ninja Way were being insulted.
“What an unforthcoming pair,” Shimizu Mitsuki sighed inwardly.
“Many things, once missed, will never have another chance in this life. These two will surely regret it later.”
However, even though he thought this, Shimizu Mitsuki had already decided at the time.
Once he grew up a bit, he would act as a golden mediator to help the two be honest with each other.
After all, they were his family in this life.
And because of this, Shimizu Mitsuki increasingly felt that his current infant body was too restrictive.
He couldn't control his waking hours each day and would always fall asleep inexplicably.
But as mentioned before, people never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
Shimizu Chiyoko died. Shimizu Kento had anticipated this, as Chiyoko's health was truly very poor.
He used every connection he could think of, even bringing in the Ninja World's top Medical Ninja, the princess of the Sannin, Lady Tsunade.
But even so, Chiyoko's health could not improve.
Shimizu Mitsuki witnessed all of his father's efforts. As a Transmigrator familiar with the plot, Mitsuki understood that Chiyoko's husband had done his utmost.
Even if Mitsuki himself were in the same situation, he wouldn't have done any better.
Perhaps the divine Medical Ninja, Uchiha Madara, could have used White Zetsu to heal Chiyoko.
But with this method, not to mention Mitsuki's current body couldn't convey information, even if it could, he couldn't explain the source of the intelligence clearly.
Shimizu Chiyoko's death was a huge blow to Shimizu Kento, which was naturally understandable, but the behemoth of war would not cease its rampage due to the misfortune of one person or certain people.
After Shimizu Kento handled Chiyoko's funeral, he only cared for Shimizu Mitsuki for a few months before he still needed to return to the battlefield. As for what would happen to little Mitsuki, who was only a few months old?
It's somewhat of a Hellish joke: Konoha Village had a mature system for caring for children who had no one to look after them at home.
The “Konoha Wartime Child Custody Center,” or simply the Child Custody Center, was an institution established by the Second Hokage to address such situations and has continued to this day.
The staff working there were the wives of male Ninja who were out on wartime missions, as their husbands were the pillars of their households.
In short, Shimizu Mitsuki’s life was temporarily not a concern.
In fact, as a single father, Shimizu Kento might not have been able to care for Mitsuki as thoroughly as these wives.
After all, some of the wives were even experienced mothers who had raised two children.
Ever since Shimizu Kento returned to the battlefield, whenever he came back to the village for rest after a mission, Shimizu Mitsuki could sense an uncontrollable emotion, an emotion called hatred, from his father’s distressed expression.
Shimizu Mitsuki considered himself a good judge of character. He had always thought Kento was a Ninja similar to Sakumo Hatake, gentle and sunny towards comrades, but ruthless and cold towards enemies.
However, Shimizu Mitsuki hadn't expected that Chiyoko's death due to the war would have such a profound impact on Kento.
Honestly, Shimizu Mitsuki was very worried about Kento in this state.
After all, even he, who had lived in peacetime in his previous life, understood that if one brought personal emotions into war, it would eventually cost them their life.
