Warning, might be some sensitive topics -
Hope you guys are doing well. Just finished some rice with beans and ham salami, not bad honestly.
But on a different note… Has anyone noticed time been acting weird lately?
Like… this year is moving way too fast. It's basically April already. Feels like just yesterday I was outside freezing, shoveling snow off the driveway.
…
Anyway.
Chapter 2. Yes Segundo, my friendos. no more rambling, i promise. hehehe
A sharp cry filled the room.
And just like that
He was born.
"Yasashii, run a full scan. Check her condition," one of the medic-nin said, gently cleaning the newborn of blood and fluids.
The baby was carefully placed on a small stand beside a crib lined with a soft white blanket. With practiced hands, the medic wrapped him snugly, making sure he was stable.
The other medic-nin glanced over.
"Her vitals are stabilizing. Healing factor is active… I'm boosting it slightly."
Misaki lay there, breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling as exhaustion washed over her body.
Ay stepped forward, eyes locked onto the child.
He reached out...
but his hand was stopped.
"Raikage- sama," the medic said calmly, not even looking up. "The umbilical cord still needs to be cut. And the mother should be the first to hold the baby."
Ay paused.
Then exhaled through his nose.
"…Right."
He stepped back, arms crossing as he watched silently.
His gaze didn't waver from the child.
A bit of a tan…
…but that hair… bright red.
After a few moments, the procedures were finished.
The medic Amai, if the name on her breastplate was right carefully lifted the baby and walked over.
She gently placed him into Misaki's arms.
Tears instantly filled her eyes.
"My baby…" she whispered, her voice trembling. "You're so beautiful…"
A soft laugh escaped her.
"One day… you're going to be a lady killer."
"Hah."
Ay let out a low chuckle.
"Of course he is. He's my son after all."
His expression shifted slightly as he looked between Misaki and the child.
"…What should we name him?"
"We are not naming my son Ay."
Misaki didn't even hesitate.
Her grip tightened just a little.
Absolutely not.
Ay sighed.
"It's tradition in the Kaminari clan"
"And he's Uzumaki too," she cut in immediately.
Silence filled the room.
Amai quietly stepped away, pretending not to hear anything.
Ay's eyes narrowed slightly.
"…He can still inherit both."
Misaki looked down at the child in her arms.
Her expression softened.
"…No, plus your other son Ay won't like it and might see him as a treat "
A small hum left her lips as she thought.
Then....
"His name will be Antares."
Ay paused.
"…Antares?"
A slight frown formed.
"…Like the Uzumaki Primordial?"
POV - > MC
…voices.
I hear voices.
What is this?
This language… it's not English.
Did Ryan delete my history like I told him to if I died?
…nah, he probably forgot.
Wait.
What did she just say?
Antares?
…no way.
Isn't that the name of that red haired Monarch from Solo Leveling?
Yeah.
Yeah it is.
…don't tell me
Don't tell me I got reborn into that world.
Nah.
No way.
That place is pure fucking chaos if i don't have S class potential or get some sort of reawakening.
Like… actual nightmare difficulty.
Wait.
I can't understand anything else they're saying.
Just that name.
…that's weird.
I can hear them clearly…
But it's like my brain just isn't translating it.
Great.
So I'm a baby.
In an unknown world.
Can't understand the language.
And possibly named after a walking disaster.
Nice.
Real nice.
I need information.
Badly.
Something shifted.
Not physically.
Just
…a feeling.
Like something brushed against me for a split second.
Warm.
Heavy.
Gone.
…what was that?
A voice cut through the moment.
"His chakra feels… unusual."
Wait.
Chakra?
Something Isn't Right
The room had quieted down.
Mostly.
Misaki sat up slightly, still holding me.
Her grip was gentle but firm.
Like she didn't want to let go.
Ay stood nearby.
Silent.
Watching.
That guy…
Even without understanding anything
I can tell.
He's not normal.
There's a weight to him.
Like the air itself is heavier around him.
Dangerous…. yeah
Definitely not a civilian, I feel some sort of power coming from him, is it spirit pressure or something similar?
Amai the medic, I think stepped back in.
She hesitated.
Just for a second....
"There's something… strange about his chakra."
The room went still.
Ay's gaze sharpened instantly.
"…Explain."
"I can't fully."
She frowned slightly.
"It's stable… but…"
She looked at me again.
"…it feels dense."
Dense?
What does that even mean?
Ay stepped closer.
Now I could feel it more clearly.
Pressure.
Not physical.
But something else.
"…Is it dangerous?" he asked.
Amai shook her head slowly.
"No. Not currently."
Not currently?
That's not comforting.
Misaki's arms tightened slightly around me.
"He's fine," she said firmly.
Not asked.
Not suggested.
Stated.
Ay didn't respond immediately.
He just kept looking at me.
Like he was trying to figure something out.
"…If he's mine," Ay finally said, voice low and gruff
"…he won't be weak."
Yeah.
No pressure.
Misaki shot him a look.
"He's a child."
"He's my child, Even though you are my Wife Misaki there's more than likely a war in the horizon with the Uzumaki's now gone their will be a power vacuum"
Silence.
…yeah, okay.
So that's the dynamic.
Pretty intense.
The other's protective.
Got it.
Good to know.
I shifted slightly.
Or… tried to.
My body didn't really cooperate.
…right.
Baby.
This is going to be annoying.
Focus.
Information, I need to listen more
They mentioned chakra.
That means…
Naruto?
Or at least something similar, there's quite a few worlds with similar power systems..
Okay.
That's better than Solo Leveling.
Slightly.
Still dangerous though.
If it's the Naruto world, all i can say is that it's full of Wars, and the Shinobi system is quite the eye sore. With the hidden Leaf being the major cause to worlds problems
Yeah.
Not exactly peaceful.
…so the goal is simple.
Step one: Learn the language.
Step two: Understand the world.
Step three: Don't die.
Simple. …in theory.
I closed my eyes slowly.
Not because I was tired.
Just thinking with my little brain.
Planning.
Adapting, the language feels like some aspects of Japanese but its different...
But that feeling earlier
That strange, heavy warmth.... it hadn't gone away completely.
It was just…
quiet now.
Waiting but what for?
End Chapter 2
The door slid open with a soft sound, cooler air drifting into the room and cutting through the warmth. Fresh. Sharper. Different.
Footsteps followed more than one person. Measured. Disciplined.
"…sama."
That word again.
I've heard it a few times now. The tone never changes. Respect. Always directed at him.
The big guy my father's since i don't know his name yet.
He hadn't moved much since earlier, still standing there, still watching like nothing in the room escaped him.
"perimeter… movement… chakra…"
There it is again.
Chakra.
I don't understand the full sentences, but I don't need to. Tone says enough. Something's wrong. The voices weren't relaxed anymore shorter, tighter.
"…north… visibility… not normal…"
Yeah. Definitely not normal.
Another voice spoke, different tone, less certain questioning. Then it stopped. Cut off. The first voice again, firm, certain.
Silence followed.
The air shifted. Heavy.
The big guy finally spoke. Low. Calm. Absolute.
"…increase… no engagement…"
Orders.
Clear ones.
No hesitation from the others. They understood immediately.
Footsteps shifted, but one of them stayed.
"rumors… spread…"
Slower this time. Careful.
Like they were stepping into something dangerous.
"…U…maki…"
…
That word again.
I've heard it before. More than once now.
U-…maki.
Misaki.
Close.
Connected?
Probably.
Her arms tightened slightly around me.
Yeah.
Definitely connected.
The tone dropped even further.
"interest… targets…"
…..
Yeah.
I don't know the words, but I know that tone.
That's not good. At all.
My father spoke again, same calm voice, but this time it felt heavier like pressure pressing down on the room. Not physical, but still there. The kind you feel before something happens.
No one interrupted him. No one questioned him.
When he finished, the silence said everything.
Footsteps moved again, faster this time. The door slid shut.
Silence returned but it wasn't empty. It lingered.
Misaki shifted slightly, her breathing slower but not relaxed. Tense.
She said something, quiet, soft… worried.
The big guy responded immediately. Short. Firm.
They went back and forth not arguing, but not agreeing either.
I didn't need to understand the words. Their tones made it clear.
She's worried.
He's focused.
Cold. Practical.
Yeah. Seems very typical my father seems like a respectable figure.
I shifted slightly or tried to. Still awkward. Still slow.
This body… useless. For now.
Focus.
Let's break this down.
I don't understand the language yet, but I can recognize repeated sounds, read tone, and watch reactions. That's enough to start.
And from what I've gathered so far… this place isn't safe. Not even close.
The word "chakra" keeps coming up. That alone narrows things down. And the way they move disciplined, controlled yeah, definitely not civilians.
So either I'm in some kind of military system…
…or something worse.
Misaki adjusted her hold again, pulling me closer. Warm. Safe.
For now.
But that conversation movement, rumors, interest even without understanding the words, I understand the meaning.
Trouble.
And if it involves my lovable mother… then it involves me.
Which means I don't have time to just grow up normally.
I need to learn.
Fast.
Language first.
I focused again the sounds, the rhythm, breaking them apart in my head, trying to match tone with meaning. It's slow, but it's something.
Then it happened again.
That feeling.
Warm. Heavy.
This time it didn't disappear right away. It lingered, like something stretching… testing.
I stayed completely still. Didn't react. Didn't move.
But I felt it.
Deep.
Like something buried.
Waiting for me to unlock it..
Misaki said something softly, gentle, and reassuring. The big guy didn't respond immediately, but I felt it his attention locking onto me again, sharp, focused… like he was trying to figure something out.
…yeah.
That's a problem.
I stayed still. No reaction. No movement. Just a baby. 'Hehe' That's all I am. That's all I need to be right now.
Misaki spoke again, softer, almost protective. The big guy didn't argue nbut he didn't relax either.
That silence again.
Yeah.
He's not convinced.
Great.
So now I've got a dangerous environment, unknown threats nearby, a language I don't understand, and my father watching me a little too closely.
Perfect.
I closed my eyes slowly not because I was tired, but because I needed to think, plan, adapt.
Because one thing is clear: this world isn't forgiving.
And if I want to survive here, I can't stay clueless, I can't stay weak, and I definitely can't afford to be noticed too early.
That feeling inside me the heavy warmth it's still there. Quiet. Waiting.
And I have no idea what it is.
But I will.
Eventually.
Because if this world runs on whatever "chakra" is, then I'll learn it, understand it, and control it… before it controls me.
Outside the room, distant sounds echoed more footsteps, more voices, a place in motion, alive, structured, dangerous.
I can't see it yet.
But I can feel it.
Which means one thing, I'll have to grow into it. Even if im ready or not.
I had to redo the chapter. I felt that I was doing Ay's character a disservice by him being more domestic. I honestly think that he's a softy to his people and an absolute nuke to his enemies. I honestly think Ay is that type of guy but for now he will just be a gruff father lol.
