Gazing at rainy sky, I pondered my life. Including personal. Real and past. And tried recall and sort in head.
And so, start in order, from far-far—previous birth...
My past body born in another world on planet Earth. In country with long weird name—Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. 1982 local calendar. Lived measured life. Bachelor. At death hit, Kami memory, forty-one. How died, don't remember. But remember former name! Dmitry Alexandrovich Grom.
Most our people say strange name? And I'll agree. Too long and awkward imho. But overall, irrelevant, plays no role anymore, almost. Other important!
Studied middle school from eight to eighteen! Then med school. Nineteen to twenty-seven! Eighteen biju years! Pure study! After, worked transplant surgeon. Incredible! Seems I was medicine fanatic! Well fine... clear with that... back to life description.
Hobby ophthalmology, anatomical drawing, and light rest—played local shamisen called guitar.
That life interesting and very fast, especially after global info net called internet appeared. From it all started. More precisely...
Once got online cartoon—this visual-auditory genjutsu viewable at pleasure via special wall screen, unlimited times.
Cartoon called: "Naruto"...

Next night. Hyuga Clan Quarter. House of Advisor Takashi Hyuga
Tonight, late, had serious talk with father and only recently we old man mostly discussed all: Calmly, no yells, as befits Hyuga; First clan news, then Hiruzen and Danzo politics, and finale with sake—my views on personal life. Well? Trust my old man here, he's objective like none. Experience is experience. And overall, Takashi Hyuga great father. However, one tiny minus imho. Loves nag and chew everything to bone. Thus, only now lying on futon, thinking near plans for future. Cause gotta ponder, definitely, and much over what.
Situation twofold. One side now know much valuable about our world: Hagoromo and Hamura, plus progenitor of all chakra Kaguya Otsutsuki. But other side, all this knowledge need sift through fine sieve. And very dangerous.
Again, third side absorbed past world medicine. Like sponge. Ocean new knowledge. Blood science and other med branches: hematology, neurology, oncology, partial ophthalmology, even edge genetics. But other side, MUCH do covertly. Analyze exp results in my realities and confirm knowledge. For that need money and main—time! Priceless resource.
And silent on past world culture and tech, which good reframe and squeeze useful. Such things.
Eh. First point, seems gotta go to my patients and offer Yamanaka trade for mental jutsu: "Perfect Memory," or worst meditative memory sorting tech. No choice. Gotta give them SOMETHING VERY expensive in return. Or minimum equivalent.
Maybe combat...
No! Yamanaka won't agree.
Med trade, alas, nothing. Their greed crushes! Tested. More than once! Feel here only headache leading to marriage pure-blood Yamanaka girl or worst permanent marriage contract with Ino Yamanaka. (Tch... Newborn—forehead wrinkled at time loss realization). And can't wait fourteen biju years.
Alright, clear with that. Next personal lab and ALL tied: Equipment, reagents, materials, seals, samples and stockpiles. Good this point easier and faster implement. Much! Luckily, need only tons money, spot for personal basement and alarm from greedy dark sly hands.
Well, third: Check from memories what recall on main seven elemental jutsu sections. That's all! And yes, still gotta visit Yamanaka—Inoichi Yamanaka. Ask about his daughter. What Kami joke, maybe lucky!
At last thought, right eye quickly glued shut, and second after. Closed them. Apparently Yuko disliked my arranged marriage thoughts much! Alright, biju with Yamanaka and other matrimonial bio-trash. Rest too will wait.
Long time to sleep.
