"Where is this? Why can't I see anything?"
Having just regained consciousness, Hoshino Ren { previous life name of uchiha sora} tried to open his eyes to see the world, only to find that he couldn't. It felt as though he were immersed in warm liquid.
At that moment, a voice echoed within his mind, snapping him back to awareness.
[You have been reborn. You have received the gift of Mother Earth and obtained max-level Comprehension talent.]
"Reborn? The gift of Mother Earth? Max-level Comprehension talent?"
"Oh! I died! And now I've actually been reborn? And… I'm still in a fetal state?"
With his mind clearing, Hoshino Ren quickly grasped his current situation.
There was confusion… but also a hint of excitement.
After taking some time to calm himself, Hoshino Ren began thinking about his future path.
"I just don't know which world I've been reborn into…"
"Hm? My spiritual power seems to have become much stronger? I can clearly sense every part of my body… I can even extend it a certain distance outside my mother's body?"
"In that case… let me see what kind of world this is!"
Having made up his mind, Hoshino Ren prepared to focus his spiritual power and probe the outside world.
But soon, an overwhelming wave of drowsiness swept over him, and his consciousness quickly sank back into slumber.
…
Who knew how much time had passed.
"Mm…"
Hoshino Ren's consciousness awakened once again. Immediately, he used his spiritual power to scan both himself and the condition of his mother's body.
He was startled to discover that his body had grown significantly.
"This… several months must have passed, right?"
Frowning slightly, Hoshino Ren pondered inwardly:
"It seems my current body still can't support prolonged use of spiritual power. That last attempt was reckless… if I'd accidentally killed myself, that would've been the end."
"From now on, I should proceed more cautiously… explore things slowly."
"But… I guess I've finally caught up with the transmigration trend?"
"Max-level Comprehension… impressive! In that case, based on my current situation, could I create a method to cultivate while still in the womb and lay a solid foundation?"
With this thought in mind, over the following months, Hoshino Ren used the brief moments when he was awake each day to sense his own embryonic breathing, growth, and physical condition with his spiritual power.
Relying on his max-level Comprehension talent, he continuously deduced and developed.
One month later—
[Through sensing your innate embryonic breathing state with spiritual power, you experience an epiphany. You have comprehended the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique.]
…
Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique: Using a trace of innate qi within oneself as a guide, it absorbs and transforms the nutrients provided by the mother's body to strengthen one's foundation and aptitude, enhancing physical constitution. (Only suitable for fetuses.)
"Finally, it's complete! Next, I just need to cultivate it properly and lay an even stronger foundation for this life."
With that in mind, Hoshino Ren began actively circulating the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique, entering cultivation.
After one full circulation cycle, the technique no longer required his conscious control—it began operating automatically in harmony with his embryonic breathing.
…
Half a month later—
Within a courtyard in the Uchiha clan compound of Konohagakure—
"My dear… your appetite has increased quite a bit lately. Could there be a problem?"
Uchiha Masayuki looked at his wife, Uchiha Misa, with concern.
It wasn't that he was overreacting. Over the past half month, her appetite had increased more than fivefold, yet she hadn't gained any noticeable weight. It was only natural for him to worry.
Seated across from him, Uchiha Misa gently smiled, her hand resting on her swollen belly, her face filled with maternal warmth.
"I was worried at first too. Today, I even went to the ninja hospital and had Lady Tsunade personally examine me. She confirmed there's no problem."
"On the contrary, our child is extremely healthy, with exceptionally strong vitality. He just eats a lot and requires much more nutrition."
"Lady Tsunade even speculated that our child's talent might be extraordinary. She suggested I consume more medicinal meals to supplement nutrition and meet the baby's needs."
As she spoke, Uchiha Misa felt genuine happiness from the bottom of her heart.
After all, it was Lady Tsunade who said her child would have exceptional talent.
As a mother, how could she not be delighted?
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Masayuki's face lit up with joy. He leaned forward, bracing his hands on the table, and asked eagerly:
"Really? Lady Tsunade really said that?"
"Yes! Absolutely true!"
Uchiha Misa nodded firmly. Then, she took out a medicinal diet list from her pocket and handed it to her husband.
"Here—this is the prescription Lady Tsunade prepared. I'll have to trouble you, dear!"
"Haha!"
Uchiha Masayuki burst into laughter, happily taking the list and glancing through it.
"Leave it to me! Haha! I'm going to have a genius child!"
Seeing her husband so overjoyed—like a child himself—Uchiha Misa shook her head with a helpless smile.
Her husband's personality really was…
"Baby… don't worry. Mommy and Daddy will provide you with enough nutrition. We'll make sure you're born healthy and safe."
Uchiha Misa lowered her head, gently stroking her belly as she murmured softly.
These words were heard clearly by the newly awakened Hoshino Ren.
"That's perfect."
A faint smile curved at the corner of his lips.
He had already noticed a drawback of the Innate Embryonic Breathing Technique—he had been worried that absorbing too many nutrients might harm his mother's body.
But now, everything was resolved.
After more than half a month of cultivation, both his physical development and spiritual power had improved significantly.
At the same time, relying on his Comprehension and powerful spiritual perception, combined with the fragmented conversations he had overheard from his parents during this period, he quickly mastered the language of this world.
Moreover, he had also learned which world he was in—and his own identity.
"I never expected the world I was reborn into would be Naruto… such a dangerous world. And I'm even born into the Uchiha clan…"
"I don't know whether to call this fortunate… or unfortunate."
Hoshino Ren sighed inwardly.
The Naruto world was undoubtedly dark and dangerous—especially for someone born into the Uchiha clan.
In the future, the entire Uchiha clan would be destroyed by two madmen.
"Fortunately, based on what I've gathered, it should currently be around Year 34 of Konoha. There's still quite some time before the night of the clan's destruction. I still have plenty of time to grow."
"With my max-level Comprehension talent, the Uchiha clan will definitely not walk down the same path of destruction!"
If things still ended up that way, then it would only mean he was utterly incompetent.
…
Several months later—
Smack!
The moment he was born, Hoshino Ren received a slap on his backside.
Hoshino Ren: "…"
He felt utterly speechless… and helpless. All he could do was purse his lips—
"Waaah! Waaah! Waaah—!"
"He's born! It's a boy—congratulations, Misa!"
The vice leader of the medical team, Misagzi, held Hoshino Ren in her arms and congratulated Uchiha Misa with a bright smile.
"Thank you… can I see my child…"
Uchiha Misa, her face slightly pale, raised her hand weakly, her expression filled with joy.
Understanding immediately, Misagzi placed the baby beside her and said with a smile:
"The child is very cute—so lively and bright. Not wrinkled like other newborns at all. As expected, your child is extraordinary!"
She was already aware of how Uchiha Misa's appetite had skyrocketed during pregnancy.
Just moments ago, she had examined the child using medical ninjutsu.
What she discovered was astonishing—
The vitality within this child's body was overwhelmingly strong.
Several times greater than that of ordinary newborns.
And that… was far from simple.
