Aryan was blissfully unaware of the political upheavals surrounding his birth. For now, he was simply a child, reveling in the warmth of his family and the wonder of his new world. The complexities of clan politics and power struggles lay beyond his understanding, and he was content to enjoy the simple pleasures of childhood.
In the past six months, Aryan's family had started teaching him the basics of language. They introduced him to simple words and phrases, helping him identify fruits, vegetables, and common household items. Aryan's eagerness to learn made him an attentive student, and he absorbed the lessons with enthusiasm.
His mother, Ayame, would patiently point to objects and repeat their names in Japanese. "Apple," she would say, holding up the fruit. "Ringo."
Aryan watched her intently, mimicking the sounds and slowly piecing together the language. He took delight in the newfound ability to understand the world around him, his mind sharp and quick to learn.
Over time, Aryan became proficient enough to follow his family's conversations. He listened intently to his father, Kenji, and his brother, Hiroshi, as they discussed the events of the village and the world beyond their home.
Through their discussions, Aryan gleaned bits of information about the world he now inhabited. He learned that he was born three years after the end of the First Ninja World War, a time of relative peace but lingering tensions.
Kenji often spoke of the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had taken the mantle after the war. "Hiruzen was chosen for his wisdom and strength," Kenji explained to Hiroshi. "But not everyone trusts him completely. The clans are still wary, especially after the way he was selected without a formal election."
Hiroshi nodded, his young mind absorbing the complexities of politics. "So, he has to prove himself as Hokage, right?"
"Exactly," Kenji replied. "It's a time of transition. The village is still finding its footing."
Aryan listened, piecing together the context of his new world. From their conversations and his own reflections, he realized he was living in the era of the Legendary Sannin—Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade. He might even be of similar or younger age than them, which filled him with excitement for the times ahead.
With this newfound understanding, Aryan began to think about his future and the role he wished to play in the ninja world. He knew that his abilities from the gift of the gods would not manifest immediately; he estimated it would take until he was around 10 to 12 years old to awaken Gojo's cursed energy and techniques.
In the meantime, Aryan resolved to focus on developing his physical abilities. He recognized the importance of building a strong foundation in combat, which would serve him well when his powers eventually emerged.
Yet, Aryan was also acutely aware of the challenges posed by his Six Eyes. The overload of information they provided was difficult to manage, and he realized that he needed a strategy to cope with it until he could fully control his powers.
Reflecting on the nature of cursed energy, as described in the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, Aryan understood that it was a form of negative energy that could be harnessed for powerful techniques. In this world, he saw parallels in chakra—a versatile energy that could be used for various skills, including combat and healing.
Aryan decided that learning medical ninjutsu would be a valuable skill. Not only would it aid him in managing his abilities, but it would also provide practical benefits, allowing him to heal himself and others in times of need. Understanding how to transform negative energy into positive would be a crucial step in mastering his powers.
As Aryan considered his options, a plan began to take shape in his mind. His primary focus would be on learning combat skills and honing his physical abilities. This foundation would be essential when his cursed energy awakened.
His secondary focus would be on acquiring knowledge about the ninja world and its intricacies. Understanding the political landscape, clan dynamics, and history of Konoha would equip him with the insights needed to navigate future challenges.
Finally, Aryan resolved to study medical ninjutsu, using it as a bridge between his cursed energy and chakra. This skill would not only aid his personal growth but also serve as a valuable asset in the field.
With a plan in place, Aryan felt a surge of excitement for the future. The path ahead was filled with potential, and he was eager to embrace the challenges and opportunities that awaited him. His heart swelled with determination, ready to make his mark on this new life.
Though he was still just a child, Aryan's mind was sharp and focused, already envisioning the person he would become. The world was vast and full of possibilities, and he was determined to explore every avenue, to push the boundaries of what he could achieve.
As Aryan drifted to sleep that night, visions of adventure and discovery danced in his mind. The journey was just beginning, and he was ready to seize it with both hands, confident in his ability to shape his destiny in the world of shinobi.
