There was nothing around me at all, not even this infamous darkness , however, this was familiar, at least to me, as I had been here before.

The first time I was here was about a hundred years ago, after I died directly. Yes, for those who were surprised by that, this was the second time I died.

Anyway, let's not dwell too much on how I died the first time, but rather on what happened afterward.

As I said ,the first time I found myself in this mysterious space , there were two options presented to me, well, they were no more than one option in reality if we exclude the option of eternal torment.

There was a panel in front of me with some writings, although it was the first time I saw that language, it was easily understandable to me.

[Welcome to the inter-dimensional space. You have been randomly selected by my master to be reincarnated in one of many worlds. So, be proud of that for the rest of your life]

I remained speechless before that, and there was nothing I could say in response. The panel continued writing.

[It seems you are so proud to the point of being unable to speak. Well, that's natural. However, as a useless human, my master didn't bother wasting his time and coming himself, so he sent me, his most loyal servant, to complete the mission]

His words seemed filled with pride, as being a servant was something sacred and elevated him above all others. I could understand that, as many people on Earth were the same.

Anyway, there wasn't much time to think as it seems I'm about to embark on my own Isekai adventure now.

[Now, the world you will go to and the character you will be born into will be chosen]

With that said, a giant wheel appeared in space, presenting many options, from the famous ones to those I had never heard of before.

Before I could say anything, the wheel started spinning, gradually passing through the options like Dragon Ball, Fairy Tail, One Piece, HunterxHunter.

Even the hardcore worlds like Marvel, DC, Supernatural, and Invincible passed before my eyes.

In the end, the spinning wheel slowed down gradually, however, what it was approaching was nothing I would rejoice at being embodied in.

Breserk.

Yes, as I saw, the needle was slowly approaching the crazy world called Breserk.

The last thing I wanted was to be reborn in this world. The first thing I would do after gaining the ability to move would be to commit suicide immediately.

I didn't have guts courage , endurance or unshakeable spirit. Such a hellish world was not suitable for me at all.

With a heart beating 200 times per second, I prayed to the master of this place with all the faith I could muster, in the few minutes i was in this space , that the needle wouldn't fall on this option.

As if responding to me, the needle stopped just one hair's breadth away from that option. I breathed a sigh of relief and forgot even to care about which world I ended up in. In fact, at that time, any world seemed much better than the world of Breserk.

[Phew, it seems the master was merciful and didn't send you there. It would have been a beautiful sight to see you struggling to survive. Anyway, the world of Naruto is not much better]

Hearing his words and looking at the giant wheel, it turned out that the needle stopped at the Naruto world. As a web novel addict, not a day passed without reading at least one novel. Fanfiction novels about Naruto were among my favorites, just like the show.

Despite the low quality of fanfiction, there were still some with reasonable quality. So, the theories and conspiracies were something engraved in my brain.

With a confident heart , I watched the wheel spinning again. There were many characters there, and of course, I glimpsed a character customization option for a moment among the vast number of options on the wheel.

Looking at the vast number of characters on the wheel, it was natural to doubt whether all the characters known from the show were there, which lowered the chances of me getting a strong character like Naruto, Sasuke, Obito, Madara, or Hashirama.

However, even the secondary characters featured had a chance to survive as long as they weren't against the main character.

In the end, the needle stopped above a small, elderly-looking character with a thick nose. It was Onoki that I won.

"Hahaha, it seems the Lady of Luck smiled on me again. Although he wasn't the most handsome character in the show, and he was short and old, he was the strongest Kage "

" Below Madara and Hashirama, it can be said that he was the strongest character in his era. Of course, after that came the era of the Otsutsuki, but let's leave that aside."

[Alright, it seems you won a somewhat strong character, so congratulations. Now, disappear from my sight and go to your new world]

As I pondered my new and bright future, a bright light engulfed me. I welcomed it with open arms and a wide smile on my face.

Now my time began, the time of the new Onoki .

At least, that's what I thought at that time before I collided with the wall of reality.

Now let's go back to the present time.

Once again in this mysterious space, Onoki sighed deeply. Yes, my name now is Onoki, after years with that name, I had forgotten my original name a long time ago.

Life in the Naruto world wasn't as he imagined it at first. It wasn't just a prophecy story about the blue-eyed boy , but much more than that, as he learned in the first years of his life there.

Anyway, Onoki looked around in the space until he noticed the floating board a distance away from him. He moved closer to it, and as expected, the same language he didn't know, yet he could understand it easily.

[Ah, it seems you've returned already. Life in the Naruto world wasn't as you imagined it, right? Hehe]

Onoki received the taunt without any emotions, he didn't really care about it. He could say whatever he wanted, and it wouldn't affect him in any way. It was one of the traits he acquired after living as Onoki in the world of ninjas.

"Why am I here again? You didn't tell me I would come back here when I die."

Onoki asked the board calmly, not knowing that he would return here again after his death.

[Haha, rejoice. The master was impressed by your performance in the ninja world, so he wanted to see more. But before we get to that part, let's first evaluate your life in the ninja world]

After saying that, the writing on the board changed into something resembling a status screen.

[Name: Onoki Kamizuru

Age: 80

Position: Third Tsuchikage

Gender: Male

Clan: Kamizuru

Strength: God of Shinobi

Kekkei Genkai: Lava Release.

Kekkei Tota: Dust Release.

Chakra Nature: Earth, Fire, Lightning, Wind, Yang]

[After reviewing your life, you received the rating: A.]

I bet most people don't know that Onoki possesses five types of chakra natures.

Even he didn't know that until he tested them under his teacher's supervision.

Looking at his status on the board, Onoki felt some emotion, especially when looking at the strength rating. He worked day and night to reach this level of power, especially after being humiliated with his teacher Mu , at the hands of Uchiha Madara.

His status board disappeared and was replaced with other word , it seems the loyal servant had returned.

[Hmm, an A-level rating. It seems you've done a good job, somehow . Anyway, let me explain some things to you. Basically, there are several levels in the rating system: E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS]

[You're lucky you got an A-level rating; thanks to that, you'll unlock new perks]

Onoki didn't focus on the new perks but rather on what would happen if he hadn't received an A-level rating, so he asked.

"What would have happened if I didn't get an A-level rating?"

[Well, if you got a B-level rating, you'd have to return to the Naruto world again with the same character until you achieve an A-level rating or higher]

[If you got a C-level rating, well, we'd have to spin the wheel again to choose a new character and send you back again]

[If you got a D-level rating, then besides spinning the wheel again, we'd erase your memories of the world you're going to]

[As for an E-level rating, you'd receive eternal torment]

Upon reading that, Onoki couldn't help but thank himself for his diligence in the ninja world , otherwise, he'd have to go through all the hardships again or even worse, eternal torment.

After that, Onoki refocused on the perks that the loyal servant had told him he had unlocked.
