System adaptation and transformation in progress...
In a void of endless darkness, a cold mechanical voice echoed.
Ichiro awoke to this sound, his mind foggy and disoriented.
"What's going on...?"
He looked around, finding himself surrounded by an abyss of blackness.
Ichiro's face twisted in confusion. "I was just sitting on the toilet, writing a review for the latest Naruto movie... What's this sudden twist of fate?"
The strange words from earlier echoed in his mind.
"Time travel? And something about taking over a negative personality?!"
"And that mechanical voice... could it be the legendary system every transmigrator gets?!"
His disbelief turned into excitement as he hurriedly got up, scanning the empty surroundings. But no matter how much he looked, it was nothing but pitch black.
Before he could ask about the voice, a sharp pain shot through his head, like a thousand needles piercing his brain. A deluge of fragmented memories rushed through his mind.
A child of Konoha, an orphan with no parents.
Ostracized and despised by the villagers.
Daily subjected to hateful glares and cruel words.
Branded as a monster, scorned and isolated.
Forced to scavenge for food, digging up wild vegetables and fishing to stave off hunger.
The vivid memories overwhelmed Ichiro, dragging him into their torment. For a moment, he felt as if he had lived this miserable life himself.
A storm of negative emotions surged within him, twisting his face into something feral. It wasn't until much later that he managed to steady himself, exhaling deeply.
"So, I've traveled to the world of Naruto..."
"And I've taken over Naruto's dark personality with the help of a system?"
The pieces of the puzzle started falling into place. The mechanical voice, the memories, and the suffocating negativity—Ichiro understood his predicament.
He had become the suppressed dark personality within Naruto's consciousness. A fragment filled with rage and despair, pushed aside by Asura's chakra and Naruto's unwavering optimism.
This dark personality, devoid of reason and consumed by negativity, had always been too weak to fight back. But now, Ichiro, with his soul from the 21st century, had taken over!
Following the canon timeline of the Naruto series, this personality only surfaced during Naruto's emotional outbursts, acting like a mindless beast. It had no intelligence or will, only the raw drive of negative emotions.
Its appearances were brief, always overwhelmed by Naruto's positivity and the Asura chakra. It was fated to remain buried deep within Naruto's consciousness, unable to rise.
But everything had changed.
Ichiro was now in control.
With a rational mind and the mysterious system at his disposal, he could rewrite his destiny.
"Since Naruto shoved all his negativity onto me," Ichiro murmured, a sinister grin forming, "then it's only fair that I take over this life of his."
Though he wore a smile, his eyes gleamed with a bone-chilling coldness.
Ichiro was nothing like Naruto, who sought to gain the world's acceptance with blind optimism. After reliving Naruto's miserable childhood through those memories, he found Naruto's ideals pathetic.
"Repaying malice with kindness? Trying to win over a world that spat on you?"
"The world gave me pain. I'll return it with pain."
As if responding to the storm in Ichiro's heart, the mechanical voice returned.
System adaptation complete!
Blackened Personality System successfully activated!
Host: Ichiro
Blackening Value: 0
Host Personality Dependence/Trust: 0%
Mastered Ninjutsu: Beginner-level Transformation Jutsu, Clone Jutsu, and Substitution Jutsu
System Description: This system assists the Host in becoming stronger and helps the Host take over as the dominant personality.
"Blackened Personality System, huh? Fits the situation perfectly."
Ichiro studied the system panel before him, focusing on two values: Blackening Value and Dependence/Trust Value.
"What's the meaning of these values?" he asked.
The system responded promptly.
Blackening Value is generated by the intense emotional fluctuations of the main personality. The stronger the emotions, the higher the value. This value can be used to unlock and learn new Ninjutsu of varying difficulties.
Personality Dependence/Trust Value reflects how much the main personality relies on and trusts the Host. Increasing this value allows the Host to gain greater control over the body.
The system elaborated further:
At 10%, the Host can communicate freely with the main personality.
At 20%, the Host can hear external sounds from within the consciousness.
At 30%, the Host can see the outside world.
At 50%, the Host can actively switch control with the main personality.
At 80%, the Host becomes the dominant personality.
At 100%, the Host becomes the sole personality, permanently erasing or separating the main personality.
The system also clarified that all of Naruto's abilities would be available to Ichiro without needing the main personality's permission.
Ichiro chuckled. "The system is absolutely incredible."
Everything is for the Host's benefit, the system replied.

Before Ichiro could ask further questions, a wave of negative emotions surged through him. Anger and murderous intent flooded his mind, nearly drowning him in rage.
At the same time, the system panel flickered as the Blackening Value soared:
+10, +5, +20...
When it reached 120, the torrent of negativity subsided, leaving Ichiro gasping for air.
"This must be the moment when Naruto first went berserk against Mizuki," he muttered, thinking back to the series. "But... where's the Shadow Clone Jutsu on my skill list?"
Before he could finish pondering, the darkness around him brightened. It felt like rising from the depths of an ocean.
In the distance, he saw a lonely figure sitting on a swing, wearing goggles and clutching his knees.
"That's... Naruto."
End of Chapter.
