About

Walking through the streets, without looking both ways, is usually when Truck-kun sends a new soul to a different world... This is exactly what happened to poor Renji, reborn in the body of an Uchiha child named Renjiro. Panicked, afraid of the possibility of not even reaching the age to learn walking, he soon realises he still has time... It's not yet close to the boiling point, as he was lucky to be born early. Now, growing up right beside Minato, Renjiro vows to use his second life and all he knows about the world to change everything. To save himself, he is determined to protect those doomed by history and stop the tragedies that are about to unfold... But the past is fragile, and destiny does not like to be rewritten. Every choice he makes may send unwanted ripples through time, and every ripple may change someone else's future. Or simply... delay the inevitable. And when too much has already changed, who knows what would happen next? Can one soul rewrite the destiny of so many others, or will the butterfly effect turn his good intentions into a new kind of catastrophe? ------ Hey-ho, Dear Readers! If you want to know a little more before heading into it, I thought to pop in and give you some bullet points about what to expect from this story. - OC lead to give myself more freedom, instead of taking over an existing character. - Slow progression, from childhood to adulthood. - No OP MC, but strong enough to keep the pace with the likes of Minato. - As mentioned, the MC will be growing up alongside that generation. I am aiming to recreate a Team 7-style early time, with the MC, Minato & Kushina, under Jiraiya's lead. Now, I know, for those who read the Minato one-shot, won't like it, or who knows... For me, that story had multiple great points, yes, but it also has issues when slotting it into the original timeline. Anyway, long story short, I am going to ignore that, use the original timeline as a base, and lift over those parts that worked as a whole. - I'll do my best to stick to the base lore, but I will bend it where it serves the story. Especially as things get changed and we deviate more and more from supposed events. - Lastly, I will try to keep closer to the original lore, not the Shippuden one, in terms of power creep. Sharingan use got out of hand, and although the MC is of the Uchiha clan, I want to keep it reasonable and bring back the Sharingan from the OG Naruto. That is all, really. As for romance, it may happen, but no, the MC is not going to steal Kushina, don't even think about it. His goal will be simple: to prevent the incoming tragedies to the best of his efforts, and if and when Naruto is born, he would have his parents. If Renji manages to change fate... that is. Expect 2 or 3 chapters per week.
