Prologue
Darkness.
That's all I can see.
I can't move my arms...or any part of my body for that matter.
What's going on. Why can't I feel my body. It's like...I'm here but I'm also not here. Very confusing.
I can't remember much of what happened before this. I remember falling asleep. Then nothing. Now I'm here in this place. If you can even call this a place. It's more like a void.
Now for the most important question.
Where is here?
As if responding to my thoughts something weird appeared.
*Ding*
{System Initiating...}
{Integration with host soul...}
What the hell is this?
{1%...6%...14%...27%...48%...75%...89%...100%}
{Integration complete}
{Hello host}
I must be seeing things.
{Incorrect. Host is in perfect mental condition}
...Ah
What are you?
{I am the system. A program created to aid you in your journey}
What journey are you talking about?
{Host has died and has been given the opportunity to travel the multiverse to do as he sees fit}
Multiverse? Explain.
{Just as your world exists, there are countless other worlds that exist in the multiverse. What you know as fiction in your world are also considered part of the multiverse.}
That's...interesting. So what happens now?
{Host will be reborn in a random world or in a world of your choosing}
Normal people would be freaking out at this point. I want to freak out but I can't really bring myself to do it. Before my supposed 'death', I had a...problem. Doctors that we went to say that I'm perfectly healthy. Psychiatrist and therapist though, had a different take on it.
I'm sure you're wandering what my problem was. I was emotionless. Or at least, that's what they said but I knew better. After all, it's my own head we're talking about. I wasn't emotionless, I simply had abnormally high control of my emotions. I don't think there was a time my face ever showed anything but utter calmness.
Almost nothing could rile me up. I say almost because there had to be something. I just didn't find it. Now...back to my current situation.
Show me the options.
{Displaying options}
{Fairy Tail}
{Date a live}
{Boku no Hero Academia}
{Naruto}
...
There are a lot of options. If It's possible to travel through all these worlds, wouldn't I die of old age? Or at least be too old to even be able to walk properly before going through most of them.
{Host does not need to worry. Host is immortal and will not die unless killed. It is possible for host to set the age at which host's body growth freezes}
That makes this even better. I don't have to worried about looking like a grandfather.
Time to choose.
I choose naruto world.
It's better to start in a world where i can grow very strong. I'm in no rush. I literally have all of eternity to do this.
{Host is required to choose style of rebirth}
{Civilian family}
Born with slightly below average chakra levels. +25% to chakra control.
{Orphan}
Born with average chakra levels. +5% to taijutsu.
{Senju Clan}
Born with high chakra levels. +10% to chakra control. Access to wood style.
None of these are what I'm looking for. I keep scrolling to see the other option. It's weird scrolling without hands.
Akamichi...Nara...Yamanaka...
{Uchiha Clan}
Born medium chakra levels. +20% to agility and flexibility. Access to sharingan.
While tempting, it's not worth it at the moment. I'd rather not take the risk of possibly dying very early. Each one of the clans have their own faults or problems that I'd rather not deal with.
Picking Senju will probably make me a direct relative of tsunade which would put Danzo and the third hokage's attention on me.
Being a Nara will have people look towards me as a lazy but smart person. While it's a good option, I don't fancy their shadow technique. It's useful but not something I would find myself wanting to be stuck with.
Yamanaka are known for their slight flexibility and mind jutsu. They are mostly average or below average in taijutsu and other ninjutsu.
I have no desire to be fat so Akamichi is out the window. Uchiha speaks for itself. I won't be able to defeat or even escape Itachi much less Obito.
My remaining options being; Civilian family and Orphan. After some thought I decide to go with Civilian family.
{Host is required to select time of birth}
Just make sure I'm reborn the same age as sasuke and naruto.
{Select age at which body growth will freeze}
This one isn't really a difficult choice. I'd like to still be at a young age while travelling through worlds.
Set it at age 17.
{Host is recommended to familiarize himself with the system features}
I almost forgot about that.
{Store}
{Quests}
{Options}
There are a lot of things in the store. From dojutsu to ninjutsu. There are even things from other worlds in here.
That's enough browsing for now.
When do I get reborn or do I need to wait in a womb for 9 months.
{Host will be reborn when he is ready. And no. You will wake up as soon as you leave the womb}
That's a relief. I don't think I can take this darkness and silence for 9 months.
{Prepare for rebirth}

....
As the screen faded, bright light exploded from this dark void.
Time for another take at life.
[[[||| 4 Years later |||]]]
In a room that looked barely furnished, a small child could be seen sitting on the floor cross legged. He had dark brown almost black spiky hair. This was followed by black eyes which couldn't be seen as his eyes were closed.
After a few seconds of silence, his eyes snapped open. A puff of smoke covered his figure. The smoke was quickly wiped away by swirling leaves. When the smoke cleared, he was missing from his position. At the same time, he appeared at the ceiling, standing on it with his own two feet like he was walking on normal ground.
His appearance was no longer that of a young boy, it was replaced with that of a teenage blonde spiky hair and blue eyes with three whisker marks decorating his cheeks.
Still on the ceiling, he quickly drew an object from his back with each hand before quickly launching them towards his targets at the opposite side of the room.
When they hit their targets, they were revealed to be kunai. The 'targets' were two pictures of a middle aged man hung on the wall.
"Finally" breathed out the young boy. He allowed himself to drop to the floor before releasing his disguise in another puff of smoke. He took deep breaths to calm himself. After all ninjutsu isn't meant to be learnt by four year olds.
Taking back the kunai from the damaged pictures, he stored them in his pocket.
"IZUNA!" a loud voice called out from somewhere in the building. The boy now identified as Izuna walked to his bed with no signs that he heard his name being called out. As he laid on the bed, he organized his thoughts for what he knew was about to come.
-Izuna-
It's been four years since I was born into this world. My new name is Izuna. Just Izuna. I'm not taking the last name of this bastard of a man. Looking back, it's as if life enjoys playing tricks on me.
I picked civilian family partially because I wanted to experience what good or at least decent parents provide for their children. In my past life, my parents might have paid for the doctors, therapists and psychiatrist to try and 'treat' me, but that doesn't mean that they were good parents.
The only reason that they wanted me 'fixed' was so that they could see and enjoy my reaction when they abused me. It was more of verbal abuse than physical abuse. Now I've jumped from the frying pan and into the fire.
Fugita Genki; The sperm donor involved in me being born. Then there is my mother, the victim. Fugita, as old as he was, was still a genin. A genin in the reserves at that. He had been infatuated with my mother Kaori but she clearly didn't want anything to do with him. After months of trial and error in getting her to marry him, he finally snapped. He cornered her in an alleyway on her way home and raped her.
Her family couldn't do anything to help her when she told them what happened. Instead of helping her, they threw her to the wolves, giving her up to Fugita. They weren't a rich family and even if they were, they wouldn't be able to do anything. He was a ninja, albeit a genin, but still a ninja.
Kaori went into depression, wanting to abort the baby. She was threatened by Fugita. Should she attempt to abort the baby, he would kill her. Eventually she gave birth to me before taking her last breath.
During her depression she starved herself, causing her to be too weak after childbirth, leading to her death. That bastard is not my father. I'm killing him the first chance I get.
"BRAT!!!"
There he is again. The drunk bastard trying to get my attention. Memories of last night fill came to mind.
[[[Flashback-last night]]]
Stupid drunk rapist! Are you not satisfied enough. Fugita had brought a lady in. I use 'Brought' very loosely. He practically dragged her into the house while she resisted. Locking the door he dragged her before roughly slamming her into the wall.
Before he could go any further I decided that I had had enough of this. Gathering my chakra, I use one of the skills that I had grown used to using because of him.
[Genjutsu]:
[Level]:4/10
Description: This is one of the main jutsu categories which uses chakra. Unlike ninjutsu, the effects of genjutsu are not real, being only sensory illusions experienced by those who fall victim to it.
Can you believe that I leveled this up to level four only by putting him under genjutsu every time he tries to bring a girl in to rape her. Just him alone with the amount of time he's done this.
The only reason reason I'm even able to use jutsu is because of the chakra enhancement pill I got from the system last year, otherwise I would have chakra exhaustion before even using the jutsu.
Casting a genjustu on him his hands go slack as he slowly but unknowingly released her. I walk over to her as her eyes are still closed. I pull her away from the wall as she opened her eyes in confusion.
"What's going on?" Her eyes were frantically looking around the room until they landed on me. Before she could speak, I interrupted her.
"He was about to rape you. I stopped him. You need to go." Her eyes went back to the man whose body was slacked but still managed to stay on his feet as his body leaned on the wall.
"What did you do to him?" Her tone was calmer this time.
"Genjutsu. Right now he thinks he's having the time of his life. So I suggest you go home." I replied.
She looked skeptical but the relief of not being raped overshadowed it. She thanked me before leaving the house. After she left, I looked back at him. The sight that greeted me disgusted me. He had his pants down with his hand on his length. Thankfully he wasn't facing my direction.
Having enough, I walk out the door leaving him to his delusions. It was night time. I don't really know where I'm going, I'm just letting my feet walk in any direction. Before I knew it, I was in near the Hyuga compound.
Come to think of it, didn't the Hyuga incident happen around this period. Eh...Naruto's going to do it anyway. No need to get involved, I don't have plot armor like him.
As I was about to walk back to my 'house', I saw something that made me want to sigh. I saw the shadowy form of a shinobi; probably the kumo jonin, which I confirmed by the petrified hinata under his right arm. Fate, why hath thou forsaketh me.
-Kumo Jonin-
In the dark of the night and under the moon, the kumo jonin stepped over the wall of the Hyuga compound with a bound and petrified Hinata under his arm. This was a simple mission. The girl didn't even put up any resistance.
Before he made it far, he picked up the sounds of footsteps heading towards him. The footsteps weren't in a hurry so he was sure that he wasn't spotted. He shrunk back toward the wall, waiting for whoever it was to pass.
The footsteps hit nearer until they suddenly stopped. He was tense for a few moments. He still hadn't seen who the footsteps belonged to.
For a few seconds everything was silent. His instincts suddenly blared as he quickly moved he head to the right narrowly dodging a kunai to the head.
Now on high alert, he knew he was dealing with another ninja. He wished he could see him though. He brought out a kunai to defend himself as another kunai was headed straight for him. This time the target was his chest.
He deflected the kunai before speaking.
"Come out you coward." He then aimed the tip of the kunai at the terrified girl.
"Or I'll cut her throat." He added. He knew he wasn't going to do it. It appeared his assailant was also aware of that but nonetheless came out of the shadows.
A young boy that looked about four years of age stepped out of the shadows. A smug look made its way to his face.
"Konoha's really going senile to send a child to stop me. Run along or I'll both of you."
The boy was silent. With speed unbefitting of a four year old, he dashed towards the shocked jonin. Snatching the still scared hinata from under his arm, he landed a few feet away from the jonin.
He turned to face the jonin only to receive a boot to the face, sending him back flying. The jonin quickly snatched Hinata before she fell to the floor.
"Brat! I'll admit that you caught me off guard but that won't happen again." He was over his shock and back to his senses. Before he could do anything else,
"Stop at once!"
The kumo ninja cursed his luck when Hiashi Hyuga leaped over the wall, landing a short distance in front of him.
"Release my daughter at once!" Hiashi ordered, but it was clear that he was ready to attack.
Acting quick before Hiashi could close the distance, the kumo nin shrunk back to the body of the downed boy with a kunai at his throat. "Come any closer and he dies."
The was no hesitation from Hiashi as he rushed at him. He then plunged the kunai into the boy's throat before removing it and launching it towards Hiashi who dodged it as it dug inches deep into a tree.
However, as he dodged it, the kumo nin already had another kunai to Hinata's throat.
Seeing this, Hiashi paused. "Now, I'm leaving and you won't follow me if you want her to live."
Before Hiashi could reply, there was a sharp whistling sound. Before either of them could react, there was a sound of metal piercing flesh. What he saw next shocked Hiashi to the core.
The kumo nin fell to his knees and less than a seconds later, he fell face first to the ground. Looking at the back of the kumo nin's head, he saw a kunai buried deep into his skull.
He stood in silence for a full second before he remembered something.
"Hinata!"
He was about to rush to the body and pick her up, then she dissipated before his eyes. His eyes widen a bit until he heard a young voice.
"Over here."
He looked towards the source of the voice only to see the 'dead' boy leaning on a tree with a small bruise on his cheek.
"Boy, where is she!?" Hiashi roughly demanded.
Before he could answer, said girl walked out from behind the tree he was leaning on with tears and snot streaming from her face.
Seeing that it was safe, she ran towards her father who knelt down and held her in his arms as she sobbed.
Hiashi then looked to the 'dead' body that the kumo nin stabbed, laying on the floor. He looked just in time to catch it dissipating.
His eyes widened a bit. 'Genjutsu!?'
He then looked to the kunai stabbed into the tree only to find no blood on it. He then looked back to the boy leaning on the tree.
'Is this really a child!?'
He was both startled and slightly but not too guilty.
Startled because it's not everyday you see a child of the age of four-from what he appears— so skilled in genjutsu. Even he didn't know he was under genjutsu. Then again, he didn't have his Byakugan active.
Guilty because the child is now aware that he left him to die when he was 'in need'. He wanted to say something but he didn't know what to say. Luckily he didn't need to say anything as the boy disappeared in a flurry of leaves.
Hiashi couldn't contain his shock. 'Shunshin!? This is no ordinary child!!!'
[[[Flashback end]]]
"DON'T IGNORE ME YOU USELESS BRAT!!!"
I let out a sigh as I got off the bed and out the door. I walk towards the direction of his voice only to find him standing at the entrance to the house. What caught my attention were the two anbu members standing beside him.
I resisted the urge to facepalm. I was a fool to think that I could walk out of this without any problem.
"Izuna Genki, the hokage wants to see you. We are to escort you there immediately." One of the anbu said.
I sighed. "Alright."
I walked towards the door. As I walk passed them I stopped for a second and spoke.
"Oh! One more thing...my name isn't Izuna Genki. It's just Izuna."
I then resumed walking out the door, with them walking behind me.
