The words disappeared, replaced by a figure of a generic black haired man. To the left of the man a series of sliders appeared, and above him were categories.

"This, this is just like the Skyrim character creation." Looking at the sliders, he became slightly confused, is he in the Naruto world, or inside a video game. Thinking about it for a moment he decided that it didn't really matter. He's either in the world he longed for, or in a video game of the same world, so it's a win-win.

Looking at the sliders he tried to 'reach' out and move them.

The first thing he did was to change his hair. Looking through all the selections, he found a lot of style like Naruto's, Lee's, Kakashi's, Itachi's and Madara's. Going through them all, he decided on one that looked like Sasori's, short and messy looking. He changed the color to auburn and matched the eyebrows as well.

He set the face to oval shape and gave himself almond-shaped eyes and changed their color to purple. He set the nose to a button shape and slightly thin lips.

To finish it off, he changed his height to 5' 10''. Satisfied, he looked towards the 'finish' button. Hesitating slightly he decides to press it.

In a flash everything disappeared, he felt his head spin and soon a blinding light caused him to squint his eyes. Realizing he had eyes he was filled with joy.

"Waaa waa" hearing the voice coming out of his mouth he instantly became confused.

"Congratulations its a boy." The voice of an old lady entered his ears.

She grabbed his body roughly, wrapping him in some sort of cloth.

His vision spun from the sudden change of events, looking around he found himself in some sort of stone room. He spotted a haggard looking young woman lying in bed. Her face was full of sweat causing her auburn hair to stick to it.

The old lady handed the baby towards the woman, seeing the loving look in her eyes it all clicked, and her next words confirmed it.

"My son, my baby." A sweet smile formed on her face causing her purple eyes to narrow into slits.

I had been reborn, no game would start you as a defenseless child, so this must be reality. Quickly coming to this conclusion he looked at his new mother and noticed the resemblance to the character he created.

"Well, my job here is done, if you need anything you know where to find me."

Watching the old lady turn and leave the room he began to panic. This room didn't look like his family had any wealth, besides the bed, there was a small wooden dresser with a chair and a medium sized armoire. He didn't even see his father so he wasn't sure he even had one.

Seeing her baby looking around the room caused the smile on her face to deepen, poking him in the cheek she relished in his shocked reaction.

"A curious little thing aren't you? Your father isn't here yet so we can't decide your name. He wanted a son so I'm sure he will be happy."

The woman held me to her chest and closed her eyes, she must be exhausted because her breathing soon became steady as she fell asleep.

This is going to be a lot more dangerous than he thought, closing his eyes he tried to organize his thoughts. As his eyes closed, a menu appeared on the left side of his vision.

[Weapons]

[Apparel]

[Scrolls]

[Books]

[Food]

[Misc]

This is like Skyrim? Thinking up to here he forced his consciousness to go up. Stars and nebula filled his vision, at the top was a giant empty bar with lvl 1 next to it. At the bottom his health, chakra, and stamina were listed at 100 each. Looking at the constellations they were labeled Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu.

Focusing on Taijutsu his vision zoomed in. Looking at the perks he felt bewildered.

Opening his eyes he came back to the real world, looking around he was not sure if time paused or not. Looking at the blanket wrapping him an idea popped into his head. Grabbing the blanket he imagined it going into his inventory, and sure enough it disappeared. Closing his eyes he saw the blanket listed under apparel, selecting to equip it he felt the blanket appear on his body again.

Opening his eyes he looked at his sleeping mother, making sure the blanket movement didn't disturb her sleep.

As he calmed down and came to the reality of his new situation he realized he can feel something in his body. Concentrating, he could feel a warm feeling in his body, chakra.

He felt the flow of chakra in his body, he didn't know if a newborn baby should have this much chakra, but the default amount for a Skyrim character was 100 mana.

Realizing this a smile formed on his chubby face. Even if he had no talent in being a ninja, the perk trees would ensure he was not ordinary.

Feeling the chakra flowing through his body he tried to control its flow, hours pass and he still made no progress.

His mother's eyes began to tremble and slowly opened. She looked panicky at first before noticing he was still in her arms.

"Sorry sweety mommy was tired and took a nap, thanks for being a good boy and not falling." A sweet smile formed on her face as she began to move off the bed.

Carrying the baby in her arms she rose to her feet.

"How long was I sleep? Where's your papa? I hope everything is ok."

Looking at the woman stand up caused his eyes to go wide, did she just sleep off giving birth?

She walked towards the door and slowly opened it. Looking out the door, a light mist came into view, along with the mist came the faint smell of blood.

She carried him outside and he got a better view. Tall stone cylinder shaped buildings littered the mountain area, far off into the distance one building was noticeably bigger than the others. He couldn't see the fine details due to all the mist.

Not seeing anything amiss she walked back into the room. Shutting the door she moved to sit back onto the bed. Holding her child under his arms she looked him in the face.

Looking at his mother in the eye he tried to figure out what she up to.

"Boga boga boga" sticking out her tongue while making a strange face she began to shake her head.

Looking at the woman he felt a little strange, is she crazy?

Seeing no reaction she frowned slightly.

"Boga boga boga" she repeated the same process.

Seeing this he finally remembered he's a baby.

"Gaaa gaa" putting on a fake smile he laughed a bit, he didn't want her thinking he was strange and kill him, this is the bloody mist village after all.

"Hehe, that's my boy." Pulling him into her chest she gave him a hug. As she does the door suddenly opened.

A tall man with a stern look walked through the door. He was wearing black pants with high rise ninja boots, a dark blue shirt with diagonal black lines, and a ninja headband with four diagonal lines.

Seeing the headband caused his eyes to light up.

Standing up she rushed towards the man. "Honey look, it's our son" her eyes beam as she looked at her husband.

Looking at his wife and son he found it hard to be happy. "Yura, I have some bad news, Iwa is attacking Konoha. They infiltrated Kusa and are laying siege to their borders, a war is coming." As he finished his sentence the color drained from Yura's face.

Stumbling backward she fell onto the bed. Looking at her husband with hope she struggled to open her mouth.

"Nikko there's no reason for us to fight in this war right??" Hope filled her eyes as she practically pleaded with him.

He gently shaked his head. "As far As I know we won't be participating." He began gnashing his teeth "But the different clans see this as an opportunity, because we are an island nation we are hard to attack, while the other nations are busy with each other the clans see this as an opportunity to seize territory." taking a deep breath he looked at his wife.

"The clan wants us to head back."

"But we will be safe here! What about our son?!?" Rising to her feet she flew into a rage.

"I see." He turned around slowly "My clan comes first, and some newborn brat won't help them survive. Times are only going to get worse."

Opening the door he walked out.

Tears began streaming down her face as she held her son tight, a soft cry left her lips.

Looking at the father who just left, and a crying mother, he began to feel a pain in his chest.

"You didn't even give him a name." Between the soft cries, she mumbled softly.
