A boy opened his eye, with a long gasp as if trying to take in as much air as possible. It surely was a unique experience and something not worth repeating again

His eyes fell on his hands, 'small', he thought.

Of course, the boy noted that he was by a stream. Walking up to it, he bent down trying to drink from it. He didn't fail to notice the figure staring back at him.

Ink black short hair, red eyes, pale white skin.... and worn-out garment-like clothes.

The boy looked at the figure staring back at him with expressions filled with mixed feelings. He remembered talking to God and his wishes.

Some might ask, "why the era of the 'sage of six paths'?". The answer is simple. I want to have a front-seat view of the history of this world without any plot holes and stuff like that. Though it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't specify the time during his era. I don't want to be born during his childhood as that will be a hassle. Not to mention his mother the 'Rabbit Goddess', there will be no chakra to go around. Sigh, what a pain. I just hope I'm around, during a favorable time.

Looking at my figure again I find out that I'm dressed in garment-like clothing, which gives me a little hope that I will be around after the journey after the preaching of Ninshu.

Suddenly feeling a head-splitting headache, I felt a flood of memories. The memories were about the body I am currently inhabiting and also all the memories of my past life being stuck in my head.

This body's former owner was called Shun, and as far as I can remember, I haven't been taken care of by anyone. I was also an Orphan before he died here due to malnutrition. That makes two of us, I chuckle.

I also know that I am in the land of ancestors, which means I'll be in the area Indra and Ashura will be born as well as where the Ninshu sect will be or has been established.

Taking a look at my surrounding, I found out that I was in a Forest and picking a random way from my memory, I started walking out. Coming out, I found that I was in a village-like community where there are a lot of people putting on a white garments adorned with black tomoes at the back and the collar bone area.

Realizing that the Ninshu sect has already been established, I was elated and also nervous as I didn't know how to approach anyone due to my lack of communication skills.

Hearing a grumbling sound from my stomach I just realized that I was starving and didn't have any hope of eating any time soon. With my adult mind, I try to find a way to approach someone, or anyone and ask for help. Then, it suddenly hit me. This is the sect of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the sage of six paths himself and surely they preach kindness and the likes here. Surely they will not chase me away.

Thinking back now, I am not used to asking for help. Be it during my last life or in the memories I received. Knowing that this is a new life and I need to live it to the fullest without regrets, I need to learn to communicate and open up to people.

"Hey what are you doing there". A voice brought me out of my internal monologue.

Looking toward the owner of the voice I see a boy the same age as me looking at me with an innocent and curious eye.

Not knowing what to say or how to respond, I stare at him blankly for some time.

A grumbling sound brought us out of our staring contest as he looks at me with a smile and an expression that says he figured out a huge secret.

"So you're hungry. Come with me I'll bring you to eat". Without waiting for my reply he pulled my little hand with his and dragged me deeper into the compound.

Bringing me into a room that smells like food, he showed me to a basket filled with buns like food.

Looking at him as if asking for permission, he nodded at me repeatedly before I took one and stuffed it into my mouth.

"My name's Ashura, what's your name? I haven't seen you around before" he asked.

Hearing his name, I almost choked on the food I was eating. I never expected to meet The Ashura Ōtsutsuki this early on.

Looking at him carefully once more, Ashura has short, spiky short brown hair — two locks framing either side of his face and black eyes.

Realizing that I'd been staring for some time, I averted my eyes and answered "my name is Shun, nice to meet you"

Hearing my voice that sounds too low to be mistaken as a girl, I noticed that this is the first time I'd spoken since I was reincarnated.

Looking at me with sparkling eyes, he laughed and said

"I have made a new friend. I am going to tell nii-chan and tou-san."

Looking at his full-blown laughter, I felt a tug on my lips. I guess this is the sunny aura Naruto has around him all the time. Ashura was one carefree guy, but who am I to say anything, he is still a child after all.

Noticing that I am done eating, he hurriedly dragged me out and ran in a particular direction.

From afar he started shouting,

"Father, big brother, I have made a new friend"

Reaching a house, he barged inside dragging me along with him and I came face to face with a little boy, of the same height and age as us. Ashura beamed a smile as he introduced us to each other.

"Big brother this is Shun, I met him outside the village, Shun this is my big brother, Indra, he is the best brother ever"

I bowed a little as introduced myself

"Hello, I'm Shun, nice to meet you"

He bowed too and replied

"I'm Indra nice to meet you"

I guess he is still the happy and protective big brother.

Looking closely at Indra, he has long brown hair cut short on top. His eyebrows were cut short — a symbol of his nobility — and his dark eyes.

Looking at the cute innocent boy in front of me I help but imagine how he'll turn out the way he will in the future. I guess it's all that damn Zetsu's fault. I kinda feel for him, only wanted what was best for his family and all that but that black thing had to steer him in the wrong direction. I will see if I can reason with him along the line.

Not knowing what else to say, I look towards Ashura as he's the one who brought me here.

With the same smile adorning his face he looks at me and then drags me out. But before saying

"Big brother, let me take him to meet father" and with that, I was on my way to meet The Sage of Six Paths
