The last thing I saw was a car roll around the corner with guys in a crap car drive buy with guns prominently hung out the window. This is a show of power as they were heading towards another gang.
Beep Beep. The sound of another car driving down the street with similar men but with different coloured clothing. This is start of a gang skirmish. I really don't wanna get caught up in this shit.
My name is is Richard but people call me Richie. Me and my sister Melissa run a cafe and our cousin crunches the numbers for us. Me and my sisters parents died when we were young so we moved into our uncles. We lived with our cousin and he showed us anime and games to pass time and we loved it.
For years the three of us would be on the couch watching and debating fictional characters activities. We all had our favourite genres. My cousin loves shonen the most because he's in love with fighting. My sister loved watching muscular people in loose clothing so she often joined him, she also admired different fashions like the sandals in Naruto.
Me personally? I loved stuff with food in it. I became a chef and opened a cafe with my sister cause I found my passion for food. I loved food wars and toriko the most because of their sole focus on it. I liked Naruto because of its beginning of a kid talking about ramen so I liked that series.
I saw the gangs meet and my cousin running towards me and my sister walking home from a hard days work. I saw the men move so I moved towards my sister to push her down before I heard BRAKKA BRAKKA and felt pains in my back. I looked down to my sister crying from pain as she started to close her eyes. I felt heart broken as I heard my cousin screaming "NNOOoO!!!" Before I heard more gunshots and screaming as I passed away into slumber.
It was a good life.

........
I awoke in a white room and thought to myself. Huh maybe those isekai weren't complete bullshit after all. If Aaron and Melissa are here I'll have to pay up.
I heard cracking so I turned around and saw an orange lotus begin to peer through with a beautiful woman standing on top of it. "Hey handsome" she said. I blushed and tried to run through the possibilities. Aaron's teachings as he called it popped in my head. "Goddess?" I asked.
She giggled into her hands. "That's right Richard, my name is Inanna I'm the goddess going to reincarnate you. You were chosen for a few reasons but the main one being your cousin". I thought on that. What did that jackass do? Did he worship her in secret or something. His anime addiction was series but it wasn't cult level series.
She giggled again and said "I'm a goddess of many things, war being one of them. The place you and your family died was considered a war which falls under my jurisdiction as pathetic as that skirmish was. What made me choose you and your family was what happens after you died. You cousin went on a rampage killing the aggressors and their back up as they arrived. He flew into a berserkers rage which is very appealing to gods." I processed this information and it did seem believable as Aaron did have some anger issues. One time when someone pushed Melissa down the stairs he dragged them up to the roof to attempt to throw them off. He didn't as he wasn't totally nuts but I knew if his family was involved he would loose it.
I asked " so rage was what got us picked, why is that appealing?" She looked amused "well just an angry man is nothing but a berserker is famous throughout multiple mythologies like norse. They all want them as their pantheon which is the gods group. I spoke with him and he agreed to join after his next life as did your sister after they spun the wheel".
"The wheel?" I asked. "Yes the wheel of reincarnation, first choose location and second chooses powers which leads to their appearance should they want it." More information to swallow, so basically I'm getting isekai'd which is sweet. "So I agree to join your group as a lover or something and then I get to reincarnate, what did they get?"
She looked pleased with my reasoning. "Well Aaron got sent to MHA with the powers of crocodile from one piece and I changed his appearance to an improved crocodile but that appearance isn't what attracts me". I replied "lucky bastard, well what does attract you?" She replied immediately "the soul his was strong and pure as is yours though not to the same degree. Your sister also spun the wheel. She ended up in fairy tail with ino yamanka as her powers and form".
I tch'd my tongue. "She going after all the men and women there isn't she". She laughed again. "A woman after my own heart, yes she intended to however I placed her two years before tenrou island returns so she's mastering her mind magic and elemental magic and heading to seduce sting. Not a bad choice."
I puffed exaggeratedly as I knew what was going to happen. Aaron and Melissa loved to love. Always chasing tail while I got stuck with the work. Pair of incubus and succubus they were. I decided to tune that out and think about the powers. Ino didn't have mind magic which means whatever I pick will change to suit the world. Like if I choose code geass and got a dojutsu from Naruto it'll change to a geass.
She looked at me and said " guess you three aren't so different after all, very calculating. Beauty and brains" she chuckled. I asked to spin my wheel and she looked at it excitedly. I saw a massive wheel with names on it that are indecipherable to me. I grabbed the first wheel and spun with all the power I had as it rotated quickly. It stopped and the writing changed.
Naruro type universe. Type? I might end up in a different time line. Shit my canon knowledge will be useless. Inanna looks at me and says "calm down, minor changes like someone's gender or clan jutsu. Nothing too bad". I relaxed and made my way to the second wheel and pondered over my choices.
I wonder who I'll get, I don't want to be a woman as I'm used to my current gender. I want someone strong but not to op as I might get picked up by root or some other organisation. I had a thought that I might not end up in Konoha but in another of the cities but Inanna cut that thought down and said I'm going to Konoha in narutos generation.
That's good as I won't be able to produce a butterfly effect to erase them. I grabbed the wheel and spun. It landed on a blue coloured name and changed to one I recognised. TORIkO.
I cheered and Inanna said nice. She asked about what changes I want. "Can you make me less bulky, make the hair darker and give me more of a swimmers body with a nice package". She laughed " you and your siblings all care about your assets, guess you want to please your partner or just make it easier. Your powers will be different from toriko universe". I ask her how so.
"Firstly his genetic ability to convert food to power will be changed to a jutsu like the akimichi clan. You eat and convert to chakra but you don't get to store it as fat but instead refine your body. The only problem is food in narutos world isn't at torikos level so that method won't be as reliable to grow strong so quantity will have to be used. Next your knife and fork will be variations of the chakra scalpel which you can manager. Knocking will be used with chakra instead but you'll need to learn the chakra system and nerve system to use it. Torikos senses are going to be like the inuzuka clan as well." I took that in and thought it was manageable.
"His intimidation will be a genjutsu and will only show the first demon the red oni. The other demons will show if it is a mental scape type your casting so this can be refined like any other jutsu. Adding chakra natures and merging with other techniques will be possible. Lastly kugi punch, I'll make this technique be more wieldable for you and give you a few other abilities as compensation for loss of powers. I'll be nice, Aaron and Melissa haggled me for more powers by using their bullshit no jutsu so I'll cut to the chase on that one".
I said thank you and asked were I'll end up or more specifically which family as toriko abilities would need someone wealthy to empower, he's wild like an inuzuka, an appetite of an akimichi and knowledge like a Nara as he studied thousands of species and made hundreds of connections. She giggled and said "good luck handsome, when you pass away your partners will also be joining my pantheon so you won't need to tell them about it. I'll make sure you'll experience a lot of nice things" she said while licking her lips seductively. Jesus Christ no wonder she picked Aaron and Melissa. She has their libido and dirty mind. Most of my life dealing with innuendos and now my whole after life is as well.
Whelp I'll just stop thinking about it, the excitement of being in some of my favourite worlds is pumping me off. First objective sort out family life. Second sort out jutsu and biology. Final objective try some ichiraku ramen.
