Naruto Cipher: The Nightmare that Lived

The world of the shinobi was never meant to be stable. It thrived on the balance of power, the manipulation of history, and the iron grip of fate. But what happens when something beyond reality—a force that should never exist in this world—decides to break the cycle?



On one fateful winter in Konoha, a six-year-old Naruto Uzumaki died. Beaten to death by the very people he tried to protect, his blood soaked the snow beneath him. But death… was never the end.



Not for him.



Because the Naruto Uzumaki that woke up wasn’t the same. He was something else.



A being who had long abandoned the triviality of mortality. A creature who had once rewritten entire realities, bending the laws of existence as he pleased. A demon whose madness defied logic.



Naruto Cipher had returned.



Reborn into the body of his past self, but stripped of his vast power, he found himself at the mercy of a world that had long scorned him. His mind, filled with knowledge far beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, burned with amusement.



He had played many games in his lifetime—multiversal wars, reality-breaking deals, gods and devils who thought themselves untouchable.



But now?



Now, he was in his favorite kind of game.
