it was like any other day for me. I had just got done doing my grocery shopping and was heading home. The crosswalk light was red, so I stopped and waited, but I noticed an old man had started crossing previously and was only halfway through the crosswalk.
The cars started honking furiously, causing the old man to tremble. I quickly ran up to him and offered to carry him across, to which the old man agreed. while I was bending over to put him onto my shoulders, a truck disregarding us just kept chugging along.
I pushed the old man in front of me as hard as I could while the truck slammed right into me. "AGHHHHHHH," I scream as I fly off into the air. "Wow," I say after seeing the stunning sunset that I often ignore to look at. i see the old man look at me in the air with hooror in his eyes. i hit the ground, and the world goes dark. i thought to myself, "At least it wasn't as bad as kazuma's death."
I float in what seems to be a void for hours,days, and maybe even years? Time has little to no meaning here, I try my best to find a way out until suddenly I see a light. I struggle and try my best to go towards the light. But I just keep drifting around slowly, but slowly and surely I do make it to the blindingly white light. It is a person, or so it looks like in my eyes.
The being's eyes seem to pierce my soul as I stand there somehow frozen. he looks at me for what seems like an eternity. "You have been judged," he says in a booming voice that seems to shake the very void itself, I look at him in confusion, my mind going blank. "huh bu-" is all I manage to get out before i suddenly see darkness once again.
I look around to no avail it seems as though I have been trapped in a small area, and I can't even open my eyes. Uh oh.... perhaps... no... IM A BABY?!?!?! I've read enough Mangad and watched enough anime to know about this. I start flailing about until a ding suddenly sounds in my head.
[SYSTEM ACTIVATION:
8 months, 24 days, 3 hours, and 4 minutes remaining]
[host should wait like a good little boy]
I float there in silence, simmering with annoyance, I'm just floating inside what I can only assume to be my mother's womb, I contemplate where I am what I'm doing and who I will become.
[system activated]
[Hello host, I am your system(not that you deserve one, but im here). You will notice that you may have been forced to wait the 9 months in your mother's womb, but rejoice you are in the land of Naruto.]
WHAT why does my system seem to have a bit of an attitude problem...
[As you did generate a low amount of karma in your last life, your parents will have died when the nine tails attacked, you will be an orphan.],
"ok, that's just uncalled for, I know I wasted my life, but what the heck."
[I am called the Naruto God System. My job is to ensure you stand at the top of the universe and hopefully assist you in not dying. Good luck. You definitely need it.]
"Stupid system, whatever I guess that means I have to suffer the first few years without being of age, my growth will be very slow."
I SEE THE LIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREV... different book, but I finally see something other than a dark void and a ticking counter, I'm so pleased.
IT HURTS IT'S SO BRIGHT. I wish I could go back into the darkness... I guess my journey begins now.. the Legend of Natan the greatest Shinobi of all time.
Author's note-
I'm sorry the first chapter is so short. I am really bad at introductions, and I hope to make every single one of the next chapters have about double this one. Thanks for reading :)
