'Phew! That was delish! Glad I'm nowhere near puberty otherwise I'd have a raging boner right now.'
'Sucking breast milk straight from the source can do this to a guy; especially for a 30 year old virgin such as myself.'
'I do feel a tad guilty since these breasts belongs to one who is technically my mother, but she's not the one I remember, so I'll cut myself some slack here.'
'Just have to keep my urges under control in the future. She's my mom now and I don't want to make things weird. But for now, I'll enjoy myself. And to think I used to be an ass man. Yawn. Time to sleep.'
HOURS LATER
'That was a nice nap. Now that I've slept, I can get back to thinking. Hard to do when you have the sleep schedule of a Panda.'
'Let's see... I'm reincarnated as a baby.'
'I'm in the Narutoverse because my "Dad's" chuunin gear was a dead giveaway'
'I'm in konoha it seems, if the conversations I've listened in on are to be believed.'
'Turns out I was born on the day of the Kyuubi attack because the stress of the event caused my "mom" to go into labor a couple weeks ahead of schedule.'
'So, guess I share a birthday with Naruto. Not sure how to feel about that really.'
'My name is Fukumoto Kondo.
My new dad is Fukumoto Isamu, and my new mom is Fukumoto Aimi.'
'Never heard of that last name before, and since my "parents" don't seem special in any standout way, it's safe to assume I'm a normy.'
'That means no special jutsu, fighting style or kekkei genkai. That sucks, but not so bad because I have this system.'

'Pretty bare bones, isn't it. No title and no luck stat. I don't even have mana; just chakra. No spinning arrows for me, I guess. Not to mention that haven't received any quest yet. Not like I can do anything but eat, poop, sleep, repeat. If I don't get any quests in the near future, best assume I never will.'
'Geez. Did I reincarnate in "Expert Mode"? As if having no in-universe hax wasn't frustrating enough.'
'Oh well, enough whining. Here comes mom. I'll think about stuff later.'
The Intelligence and Wisdom numbers shocked me for a bit, but it makes sense. I think like the 30 year old that I was. If those stats where 1, I'd probably be speaking in Gugu Gaga.'
A FEW HOURS LATER.
'Nothing like a good night sleep after a hearty meal. I can never get tired of those mommy milkers. Weaning is going to be hell.'
'Ok, so future plans. Obviously get stronger and quick. However, there's only so much a 6 month old baby can do. Let's brainstorm and figure that out, shall we?'
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
One brainstorming session later.
'Ok, apart from 'Meditation' I got nothing. No worries. This'll come in handy for when I attempt to master sage mode. One step at a time, Kondo. No need to rush.'
'Now to create the skill and start grinding. Hopefully this Dollar Store system let's me create skills.'
'Alright. Close your eyes, breath slowly, empty your mind, become enlightened...'
...
Meditation (Active/Passive) (Level 0: 0%) (Cost: None)
- Increases CP Regen Rate.
- Increased sensitivity to Chakra.
- Increased sensitivity to Nature Chakra.
'Awesome!!! Not only did it work, but it's exactly how I thought it'd be and more. If I max this skill out, Sage Mode would be a breeze.'
'However, I'm not touching Sage Mode training with 10 foot pole until I have Shadow Clones under my belt. Don't want to turn into a toad statue on accident.'
'Welp! Time to grind!'
"Meditation".
'Woah! It turns on automatically. I don't have to enter zen (whatever that means) each time to do so. Pretty convenient. I can feel something like a very gentle breeze blowing on me from every corner of my body. Could this be chakra or nature energy?'
'My money's on chakra. It shouldn't be this easy to sense nature energy at this low level. That'd be too broken. Should I do something with this breeze? Maybe pull it into myself or something?
Shouldn't that be automatic? Let's give it a go!'
...
'No good, can't do nothing. No biggie, let's just keep grinding away at this badboy.'
24HRS LATER.
'This got boring quick. Lemme occupy my mind with some other stuff as a change of pace. Yes! Let's think about my future goals.'
'Let's see... Since I can only use meditation as a baby, then I guess I'll be limited in what I can do to train myself depending on which stage of development I'm in.'
'That should be: baby, toddler, kid, academy Student, genin... Let's stop there for now. Not exactly "stages of development" beyond "kid" but I know what I mean. So what will be my toddler goals? Guess I'll have to brainstorm again.'
One Brainstorm Session Later.
'I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm thinking of future Shinobi plans when I've not thought about how to maximize my system's features. I'll have to postpone that, though. It appears to be lunch time. Time to feast!'
A Few Hours Later.
'Wooo! A nap after a hearty meal involving an intense succ session hits the spot. So where was I? Oh yeah Maximize System Features. Let's see... Erm...
"Settings."
XP gain notification [**ON**/OFF]
Level Up notification [**ON**/OFF]
Stat Change notification [**ON**/OFF]
Status Change notification [**ON**/OFF]
'Interesting. But it's all notification settings. Too bad there's no difficulty setting; that would have been rad.'
'Alright.' "Help?"
Strength: Physical output.
Dexterity: Precision of movement.
Vitality: Physical resilience.
Intelligence: Efficiency of knowledge absorption.
Wisdom: Efficiency of knowledge application.
HP (Hit Points):
- Max amount of damage sustainable. Death at 0HP.
CP (Chakra Points):
- Numerical representation of chakra level. Chakra exhaustion at 0CP.
'Why is it so brief?!! Was this system made in a hurry? Forget it. I should be used to this by now. HP and CP might be linked to Strength and Vitality.'
'As for my Strength and Vitality training, I'll have to get friendly with Team Guy and learn the 8 gates. That's the best way to grind those stats like mad. Plus it's the best bet for a normy like myself to be relevant in big fights.'
'I wonder how I can train Wisdom and Intelligence. Read a book? Maybe. Think hard? Nah, I've been doing that all this time and have got no notification. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually.'
'Hmm... Can my Gamer Body heal through the final gate, I wonder? Let's leave that for future me to worry about.'
'Back to the commands'.
Status: Displays personal info and stats.
Help: Briefly explains terminologies.
Map: Toggle on/off map.
Inventory: Displays inventory.
Settings: Displays system settings.
'Nani!!! I wasn't expecting that. Is it because I thought "commands"? I wanted to check "inventory", but guess that confirms that. Still, that's so few commands. Meh. Let's check the rest.'
"Inventory"
An inventory interface with 5x4 grids appear. 'Exactly what I was expecting, but I can't experiment with it cuz, baby hands. On to the next one.'
"Map"
A map appears in the top-right corner of Kondo's vision. 'Its all black with a blue dot in the middle, and a green dot not far away. Is the blue dot me? Is the green dot my Mom? Yeah. Has to be. I can hear her in the house and the location checks out. Looks like I'll have to explore to unlock more of my map. Another task for future Kondo.'
'Well, this should do for the time being. Besides I need to poop right now. Haah... I can't wait to be potty trained; craping myself isn't pleasant in the least.'
TWO DAYS LATER.
'Ok... That's enough meditation for awhile. Gotta let my brain relax.'

'I'm satisfied with my progress on "Meditation". It'll slowdown considerably at the higher levels, so might as well get the easy part out of the way early. Now, about those plans for toddler Kondo... Ahhh yes. Ehhhh... I got nothing but that leaf on forehead chakra training exercise.'
'Though I'll be left alone to play, I'll still be monitored like I'm on suicide watch. I also doubt I'd get my hand on a leaf since I'm basically under house arrest. Boy do I miss the outdoors. Screw it! I'll find a way. Heck, a piece a paper would suffice. Just have to get used to the slow start. Once I hit 3 or 4 years old and/or granted a modicum of autonomy, things will shift to a whole new gear.'
'That's all planning wise for now. Will revisit that in a couple years. For now, Eat, Sleep, Meditate, Poop, Repeat.'
TIME SKIP : 6 MONTHS.
'I can walk! It's a miracle! Praise the Lor- ok stop being ridiculous Kondo, you're making a scene. However I am still glad to be on my feet; crawling was hell. My knees were put through the ringer. I decided to come out as Bipedal to my parents on my birthday. To say they where excited beyond words was an understatement. I bet my mom was telling all her friends about it. Kek :)'
'Anyway, now that I've hit my first milestone; as a toddler, it's time to take the next step in my Ninja Journey: Leaf on forehead chakra exercise! Woohoo!!! How convenient it is that a child putting a sheet of paper on his forehead isn't considering weird or suspicious. Just better not do it too long in people's presence before they start thinking I'm retarded or something.'
'Ok, all I have to do is stick the paper to my forehead using chakra; sounds easy enough.'
Adhesive Chakra (Active/Passive) (Level 20: 55%) (Cost: None):
User's chakra gains an adhesive property which enables one to stick specific body parts to any surface.
'Hold the phone! That was too quick and easy; plus how come it starts at level 20 instead of 0. This makes no sense.'

'Could it have been because of my "Meditation" skill? Did my increased chakra sensitivity also improve my chakra control, making it easier to perform the exercise? Will everything chakra related have a bonus because of it? Whatever the reason, it's good news for me; I'm not complaining!'
