Naruto: God Reborn

Chapter 34:

The Rebirth of Lille Barro

Reincarnated into the shinobi world, Lille Barro was born in Kumogakure with piercing green eyes that seemed to see through all. Though he was stripped of the celestial authority of his past life, fragments of his divine essence lingered deep within his soul. In this new life, Lille grew up under the leadership of the future Raikage, Ay, who saw potential in him and made a decision that shaped his future, choosing both Lille and Killer Bee to be his younger brothers.

Childhood and Brotherhood with Bee

From an early age, Lille was a reserved and enigmatic child, his stoic demeanor a sharp contrast to Killer Bee's loud and energetic personality. When Ay declared both Lille and Bee as his brothers, many questioned the choice, especially given Lille's aloof nature. However, Ay saw something in him: a calm, calculating presence that could balance Bee's wild energy and complement his own fiery leadership.

Though their personalities clashed, Lille and Bee formed a strong bond over time. Bee's constant attempts to draw Lille into his rapping and antics often ended in exasperation but also brought out rare moments of dry humor from Lille.

"Yo, Lille, you're colder than the mountain's ice, but your aim is sharper than a kunai twice!" Bee rapped one day, spinning his blades.

Lille, leaning against a tree, smirked faintly. "If I'm the ice, then you're the storm that melts it into chaos."

Despite their differences, the two balanced each other perfectly in training. Bee's relentless energy and unpredictable movements forced Lille to think on his feet, while Lille's precision and composure taught Bee the value of strategy. Under Ay's watchful eye, the three became an inseparable team.

The Third Great Ninja War

As war consumed the world, Lille, Bee, and Ay became key players in Kumogakure's campaigns. Lille's unmatched precision and observational skills made him the perfect archer, while Bee and Ay dominated the battlefield with their overwhelming strength. However, the brutality of the war began to wear on Lille, who viewed the endless bloodshed with growing disillusionment.

During a critical mission, the team encountered Minato Namikaze and his squad. The clash was swift and intense, with Ay charging Minato head-on while Lille and Bee supported him. Lille's green eyes tracked Minato's every movement, firing precise arrows that forced the Yellow Flash to constantly reposition.

"Lille! Cover me!" Ay roared as he launched a devastating strike toward Minato.

"On it," Lille replied calmly, loosing an arrow that narrowly missed Minato's kunai, disrupting his intended teleportation.

Despite their efforts, Minato's speed proved too much. After their retreat, Lille spoke quietly, "He's not someone you beat with brute strength. You'll need more than force to bring him down."

Bee chimed in, "Yo, Minato's slick, but with us three, we'll make his legend quick!"

Though Lille's words were measured, the encounter planted a seed of doubt in his heart. The war was a game played by the powerful, with shinobi like him and Bee as mere pieces on the board.

The Breaking Point

As the war dragged on, Lille grew increasingly weary of Ay's decisions, particularly those that sacrificed lives for the sake of victory. The breaking point came when Ay ordered an ambush on a group of retreating enemy shinobi, including civilians.

"I won't do it," Lille said flatly, his green eyes meeting Ay's fiery gaze.

"You're part of this village!" Ay snapped. "You follow my orders!"

"I serve no one," Lille replied coldly. "Not you, not this village, and not this war."

Bee tried to intervene, but Lille's resolve was unshakable. With that, he left Kumogakure, abandoning his brothers and the life he had known.

As a mercenary, Lille's skills were in high demand, but he chose his contracts carefully, refusing jobs that conflicted with his sense of morality. During his time wandering the shinobi world, fragments of his past life began to surface. In moments of quiet reflection, he would see flashes of his former self, the divine sniper chosen by God.

His powers began to return slowly, starting with his ability to pierce through obstacles and barriers, both physical and spiritual. On one mission, Lille faced a powerful barrier created by a rogue shinobi. Without thinking, he focused his green eyes and fired an arrow that pierced the barrier and shinobi as if it were nothing.

"What... am I?" Lille muttered, staring at his trembling hands.

Over time, he regained more of his past abilities, including his ethereal marksmanship and the power to strike with divine precision. As he pieced together his memories, Lille began to wonder: why had he been reborn in this world? And what role would he play in its future?

Legacy of the Raikage's Brother

Though Lille had left Kumogakure, Bee and Ay often spoke of him with a mix of pride and sadness. "Yo, Lille was the coolest archer, a brother like no other!" Bee would say, spinning his blades in tribute.

Ay, despite his anger at Lille's departure, couldn't deny his respect. "He walked his own path, one even I couldn't follow. But that doesn't mean he wasn't one of us."

As Lille continued his journey, his name became legendary, a archer with green eyes and divine precision, carving his own path in a world of chaos. The question remained: would he return to his brothers, or would he forever walk alone, a man burdened by memories of the heavens?
