Reincarnation

"Yi Shui!!!" The girl raced madly toward where the boy had fallen, but the truck driver hit the gas and sped away.

The girl finally reached the boy. Tears soaked her face again before it had even dried, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Why? Why? Yi Shui, wake up! If you wake up, I'll agree to anything you want

!"

"Cough... cough. Xiao Nan, I knew it. I knew... knew you still loved me. If anyone's to blame, it's me. I didn't have the means to take care of you. Actually, I knew about your family's situation all along. Your sister's illness needs a lot of

money. I hate it. I hate heaven, I hate earth, and I hate myself. Maybe dying is for the best. I won't have to go on living in pain, with a huge scar still in my heart until the day I die. Xiao Han is a good man. Forget me.

Let these feelings drift away on the wind with my death. At the end, can... can you grant me one request?"

"Yi Shui, if there's a next life..."

"Don't, Xiao Nan. We can't even know whether there's a next life. My last wish in this life is to have your first kiss. Can I?" The boy gazed at the girl, his eyes full of hope.

"I... I will. I'll leave the purest part of myself with you. I hope you won't be lonely in heaven." The girl kissed him very gently on the lips.

The sun set in the west. The boy and the girl, the swirling maples and turning waters, the clouds resting against the wind and following it.

"Mm~"

The little boy in the red-haired man's arms gradually woke up. The man hurriedly said, "Young Master Issui, are you all right? We'll reach Konoha soon. You'll be safe once we get there."

The little boy frowned. He thought, Didn't I die? How am I alive again? The man was speaking Japanese. He had taught himself Japanese to watch Naruto, so he could understand everything the man said. *Konoha.

Could this be the world of Naruto? That would be wonderful. I really love Naruto, and Xiao Nan and I met through it too. It's a shame Xiao Nan can't be here with me.

But being here is fine too. I'll start over.*

"Are we going to Konoha?" Yi Shui asked.

"Yes, Young Master Issui. People from Kirigakure attacked the village. The master—your grandfather—told me to take you to Konoha and preserve the Kanna bloodline. We have to hurry to Konoha. I'm afraid the master has already

been killed by the enemy," the man said anxiously.

"Is that so?" Yi Shui frowned. His parents in this life were probably already gone, and his only family, his grandfather, had also been killed by Kirigakure. He was an orphan again. In his previous life,

he had never known the love of a family, and it was the same in this one. Was he destined to be alone? Damn it, he couldn't forgive them! Enormous hatred welled up in his heart. Suddenly, Yi Shui felt as though his forehead was splitting open.

The intense pain made his face turn pale. Gradually, it grew worse and worse. It was not just physical pain, but pain in his soul as well.

"Ah~"

The terrible pain forced Yi Shui to groan aloud. At that moment, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck his forehead. But strangely, the center of his forehead rippled like water, and a crack

spread open. Gradually, a white eyeball was exposed. An eye had actually appeared on Yi Shui's forehead!!!

"Th-this is the Eye of Heaven! I've finally been fortunate enough to witness the Eye of Heaven awaken! Heaven has not forsaken our Fallen God Clan." The red-haired man wept tears of joy.

Yi Shui felt the pain in his forehead gradually fade and discovered to his astonishment that he had gained another eye. Have I become Erlang Shen? Some information surfaced in his mind then: the original owner of this body's

memories and some explanations that came with the eye's awakening. The body he now occupied was named Issui Kanna. He was a descendant of the legendary fallen heavenly gods and possessed the Eye of Heaven Kekkei Genkai. The Fallen Heavenly God Clan had existed long

before the Shinobi World was born. It was an ancient clan. The mighty of that time could split mountains and tear apart the earth with a casual gesture, overturn clouds and rain, and move mountains to fill seas. In the end, only the Fallen Heavenly God Clan had survived to the present,

but no one had succeeded in awakening the eye until now. Yi Shui had succeeded in awakening the Eye of Heaven thanks to the strength of his soul after transmigration and the resentment he had just felt.

Since the Eye of Heaven was called "Heaven," it was naturally powerful. It could be said to surpass the three great Dōjutsu of the Naruto world. It had seven stages of evolution: White, Flame, Frost, Dust, Wind, Thunder,

and Black. The first stage, White, was actually much like the Byakugan, but it had two additional functions. The first created a domain centered on the user that sealed an opponent's Ninjutsu and half their Chakra. Its duration and range increased as

the quality of the user's Chakra improved, but this function had one drawback: a Genin could use it only once a day, a Chunin twice a day, and the number doubled with each subsequent rank. The second was automatic Chakra recovery. Although the amount recovered

was very small, this function would become terrifying as his power increased. As for the six remaining stages, Yi Shui could not investigate them yet. He only knew that each was stronger than the last.

"Hmph, isn't it a little early to celebrate? You little rat, you didn't run slowly, did you? You made me chase you for quite a while. But your life is about to end by my hand. Tremble, and remember my

name: Zabuza Momochi," Zabuza sneered.

"This is bad. Young Master, run straight down this road. Up ahead is within Konoha's patrol range. If you run into a Konoha ninja, you'll be saved. The enemy is too strong. I'm afraid I can't look after you anymore. Take care.

You must become an outstanding ninja. Don't disgrace the name of the Eye of Heaven," Ichiro Yamada shouted. He gave Issui Kanna—that is, Yi Shui-a hard shove, then drew a Shuriken and charged at

Zabuza.

"Zabuza, is it? I'll remember you!" Yi Shui gave Zabuza a detached glance with his silver eyes. His third eye was already closed because he didn't have enough Chakra. He didn't dare

show the slightest hint of hatred in his gaze, because that would only make the enemy more eager to kill him. This was all because he lacked strength. In his previous life, no matter how hard he worked, it had been difficult to rise above others. But in this life, as long as he worked hard, he could

earn others' respect. Everything was no longer so elusive. He would start over and live up to being a transmigrator. Yi Shui was only his old name. From now on, there was only Issui Kanna, and no more

Yi Shui.

A flock of birds flew up from the woods. It seemed someone had disturbed them. A little boy ran out, his face flushed red. He kept gasping for breath, but he continued running with all his might. Suddenly, a cold

snort came from behind him, and his heart tightened. The boy was Issui Kanna.

Issui Kanna sensed that the enemy had caught up and knew there was no way he could escape, so he simply stopped.

Zabuza wondered whether he had accepted his fate or was too frightened to run, so he asked, "Why did you stop running?"

"Run? Could I get away? Since I can't escape, I might as well calmly face the coming storm. That way, I might live a little longer. Courage and strength aren't the same. Even without the strength to match,

you still need the courage to fight. If you lose even your courage, then death is only a matter of time," Issui Kanna said calmly, as though he were facing a familiar friend rather than an astonishingly powerful opponent.

"Courage? What a laughable thing. The weak are weak. Without understanding the power of the strong, all you can do is put up a futile resistance," Zabuza Momochi scoffed.

"Is that so? Then let me show you the power of the weak. White - Sealing Domain." A vertical eye opened on Issui Kanna's forehead, its eyeball white. A violent fluctuation poured

out of it, and a dome of light with a range of five meters descended from the sky, enclosing both Zabuza Momochi and Issui Kanna.

"Wh-what is this?" Zabuza was astonished to find that his Ninjutsu had been sealed, along with half his Chakra. He was an elite Jonin, while his opponent wasn't even a Jonin.

Could it be the third eye? Most likely, it was.

"This is the Eye of Heaven's Dōjutsu. It can seal an enemy's Ninjutsu and half their Chakra, regardless of rank. Even a Kage Level ninja would be affected. So, does the power of the weak frighten

you?" Issui Kanna said calmly, though he was extremely nervous. With his Chakra, he could maintain it for another thirty seconds. His Byakugan had already spotted a ninja up ahead heading this way, but it would take

at least another forty seconds to get here. Besides, the only Ninjutsu he remembered was the Clone Technique and its Hand Seals. He didn't know the Hand Seals for any other Ninjutsu at all. After all, who would pay special attention to those things while watching Naruto?

He hadn't expected to transmigrate into the Naruto world either.

"Is that so? You're quite impressive. Since ancient times, almost no ninja in Heaven Village has awakened the eye. To have awakened it at your age, you could be said to be very talented. But that Dōjutsu of yours can't be without limitations,

and your Chakra can't sustain it for long either, can it? Although I can't use my Ninjutsu, as an elite Jonin, my Taijutsu isn't something a weakling like you can withstand. What use is your talent,

then?" Zabuza said.

"As expected of Demon Zabuza of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Your powers of observation are impressive. But do you think my Dōjutsu is that simple? Where did the other half of your Chakra go?" Issui Kanna

sneered.

"What? Hmm, so that's how it is. You scattered the sealed Chakra chaotically throughout the enemy's internal meridians. As soon as Chakra flows, the two collide. Once it happens on a large enough scale, it creates

pressure, eventually causing the meridians to rupture. There may be no visible injury, but the victim has actually lost the ability to fight." Zabuza gave a cry of admiration.

In the silent forest, two figures, one large and one small, stood facing each other. A bird occasionally flew past.

"Hmph, you have barely any Chakra left. Give up. Stop struggling. In the face of absolute strength, everything you do is useless," Zabuza said.

"Is that so? Then you'll be disappointed. No matter how small a life is, it will fight with its last breath to stay alive," Issui Kanna said through gritted teeth. His Chakra was nearly exhausted now, and he hoped

the Konoha ninja would hurry.
