"My name is Shimizu Miketsuki.After my birthday this year, I’ll be five years old. I live in the Seventh District of Konoha in the Land of Fire, and of course, I’m unmarried.As a child, I’ve never overexerted my chakra or pushed my physical training too hard.I go to bed at 11 PM every night, ensuring I get at least 10 hours of sleep. Before bed, I always drink a cup of warm milk.Then, I do 20 minutes of stretching exercises to warm up before I sleep, never leaving any fatigue or stress to carry over to the next day.The neighbors all say I’m perfectly normal!"

  However, Shimizu Miketsuki has a secret he has never told anyone. He’s actually a transmigrator from Blue Star.But Miketsuki’s way of transmigrating might be a bit different from other transmigrators. He wasn’t overworked to death by some unscrupulous corporation, nor did he meet his end after being hit by a truck.Instead, one day, a meteor with a diameter of over 24 kilometers smmed into Blue Star at a speed exceeding 24.5 kilometers per second, delivering a catastrophic "friendly punch" to the pnet.Before the impact, the authorities tried to block the news, but such a thing couldn’t be concealed, and so, the news that this meteor, named 2019ok, would soon help humanity restart spread rapidly, like a virus.People never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. But at least Miketsuki knew clearly that he had just graduated from college and had only been living independently for a year when the apocalypse came. There was still a bit of regret.He hadn’t lived enough as a lowly worker, so to speak.Yet Miketsuki hadn’t expected to be reborn in the world of Naruto, carrying his past life’s memories with him.His rebirth didn’t occur during the time of the Fourth Hokage or after, but in the era of the Third Hokage, during the Second Great Ninja War.Perhaps it’s because this is the world of Naruto, Miketsuki’s mother, Shimizu Chiyoko, had to quit her ninja career due to injuries and, after giving birth to Miketsuki, her health continued to decline, ultimately passing away.But since Miketsuki was born with the memories of his past life, he could think and process things, and even though he had only spent less than a year with Chiyoko, he still had some impression of her.Contrary to what one might expect from the name "Chiyoko," she had a fiery temper. Despite her frail body, unable to even walk on her own, she frequently scolded and hit Miketsuki’s father, Shimizu Kento.Miketsuki’s father, Shimizu Kento, was the very definition of a nice guy.Although Miketsuki never saw this character in the manga, Kento was surprisingly strong.Before Miketsuki arrived in this world, Kento was already an elite jōnin who had completed many A-ranked and even S-ranked missions.People with great strength often tend to bme themselves for the misfortunes of those close to them. Kento was no different.He believed that by focusing too much on his missions, he had neglected Chiyoko, who had always tried to keep up with him.“She’s always forcing herself; it’s my fault.”Carrying such guilt, Kento likely didn’t even realize that his daily interactions with Chiyoko always showed a forced smile.This self-righteous expression was the very reason Chiyoko couldn’t stand Miketsuki’s father.After all, Chiyoko had a very strong will.Kento’s self-pity and self-bme made her feel as though her dignity and ninja way were being insulted.“These two are so stubborn,” Miketsuki sighed inwardly.“There are some things that once missed, you can never get another chance. These two will surely regret it in the future.”However, despite thinking this, Miketsuki had already decided at the time that once he grew a little older, he would step in as a gold-medal mediator to help them open up to each other.After all, they were his family in this life.And so, Miketsuki grew increasingly frustrated by his current infant body, which had so many limitations.He couldn’t even control his waking hours and would randomly fall asleep for no reason.But, as previously mentioned, people never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.Chiyoko passed away, something Kento had expected, given how bad Chiyoko’s health had been.He pulled every string he could, even calling upon the greatest medical ninja in the ninja world, the princess of the Three Sannin, Tsunade.But still, Chiyoko’s condition didn’t improve.Miketsuki, who knew the plot as a transmigrator, understood that Chiyoko’s husband, Kento, had done everything he could.Even if Miketsuki himself had been in Kento’s pce, he likely wouldn’t have done any better.Perhaps the medical genius Uchiha Madara could have used White Zetsu to cure Chiyoko.But even if Miketsuki could somehow rey that information, he wouldn’t be able to expin the source of the intel.Chiyoko’s death hit Kento hard, as one would imagine, but the giant beast of war didn’t stop its rampage just because one person or a few people had misfortune.After handling Chiyoko’s funeral, Kento only took care of Miketsuki for a few months before he had to return to the battlefield. As for the infant Miketsuki?It was almost a tragic joke. The vilge of Konoha had a mature system in pce for taking care of children whose parents were unavaible.The "Konoha Wartime Children’s Care Facility," established by the Second Hokage, had been operating ever since.The staff were usually women whose husbands, the male ninja pilrs of the vilge, were away on missions during wartime.In short, Miketsuki’s life wouldn’t be a worry for the time being.Even as a single father, Kento might not have been able to care for Miketsuki any better than those experienced mothers.After all, some of the women there had raised two children.Since Kento returned to the battlefield, every time he came back to rest after completing a mission, Miketsuki could feel the barely restrained emotions on his father’s face, a deep hatred.Miketsuki had always prided himself on being good at reading people. He’d always thought Kento was like a ninja of the type of Hatake Sakumo—kind and warm to his friends, but cold and merciless to his enemies.But Miketsuki hadn’t expected that Chiyoko’s death would affect Kento so deeply.Honestly, Miketsuki was worried about Kento in this state.After all, even in his past life, living through a peaceful era, he understood that letting personal emotions influence warfare would eventually lead to one’s demise.
