I was just your average guy, nothing special about me. My life was pretty much a predictable cycle: wake up, go to my dull office job, come home to an empty apartment, and repeat. I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't say I loved it either. Just... existing, really. I didn't have any big dreams or plans; I guess I never really felt like I was meant for anything great.
But there was one thing I looked forward to—anime, manga, all those worlds where ordinary people became extraordinary. In the real world, I was just one face in the crowd, easily overlooked.
One night, everything changed. I was heading home from work, same as always crossing the side walk, "*sigh* I guess it what meant to be," I said as I walk to the home. The next second I felt a slight pain in my neck when I open my eyes to my shock I saw my body there without it's head. It took me 2 seconds to come to terms with what I saw, as a truck went past me with it's content being sharp iron poles. I happen to be unlucky enough to be on the way of this pole as it decapitated me.
Well, it is fine I guess. Now I can finally embrace darkness, I close my eyes hoping to never wake up but a something forced me open my eyes. I was greeted with the dark sky above my head, in just 5 seconds I had understood my situation. I immediately gauge my surrounding, what I saw horrified me as Corps lay on top the ruble, fire and destruction wide spread. Even for me, who was mostly neutral to even most gore rated sites and movies was shocked at the sight. Although it did not last long, as I saw a giant fucking fox with 1,2,3,4...9 tails fighting yellow sonic.
AHHH, I must be in Naruto this makes sense. I felt excited and even ready to battle the world which lasted less than a 30 minutes before I felt into depression. The reason is that I now being carried by the yellow haired sonic named Minato Namikaze. I am not even your child and you are ruining my childhood, it is bad enough that you ruin your child now you pick up random kids and seal a demon in them.
Minato as if reading my mind said "I am sorry, I have to do this but it's for the prophecy". He said this as he finished summoning the god of death.
{Time skip, AN: I am skipping this part as it is the same in the anime except some changes for which I am going to list below. For those who did not watch the anime or read the manga, IMPOSTER!!!! you do not belong here leave before the anime gods, manga/manhua/manawa gods, weeb gods punish you for trespassing in their domain.}
Well, Minato did not die as the death god looked at me before leaving Minato with his life. My personal theory is that I probably owe him a favor in the future but for now I am free to grow. Also I add Minato to the list of people who need their ass kicked, I am going to do it when he tells me about the nine tails just so that I have some justification. Then, he used me as a scapegoat for his plan and sent me to orphanage where I will probably be treated very badly.
There is also the fact that Kushina had triplets, Nami the girl has red hair and blue eyes while the boy, Haruto has yellow hair which more yellow than Naruto but he has violent eyes. I have soft sport for her as she argued to adopt me as a member of the family but Minato and jiraiya were against it. Jiraiya is also in my kick ass when given chance list.
{1 Year later}
"I really can't get used to being treated as a kid" I said absent mindedly. I am now one year old, what I thought was going to be hell turned out to be quit good. It's not that the village doesn't hate me but the fact that not only Minato visits me every month and takes me out for ramen, which by the way is the best food here even by my standards. Also, Kushina bless her soul as she comes everyday to look for me. She also beat the hell out of every mob and anyone who mistreats me.
She can't force them to talk to me but it doesn't matter to me, a adult that other adults avoid me like the plague. I am born and raised in the modern world for god sake, also the fact that I am a adult not a child I do not need attention. "It is only 6 more years" I said before I walk back to orphanage, I was talking activation of my system. It said that it will activate once I enter the academy which is when I am 7 years.
{6 years later}
[System activated]
This is the notification I got once I step into the academy grounds, I can already see the glares from the people all around me. I heard people whisper about me all the way until I went to my class, which is the same class as all the other characters in Naruto. I silently went to my sit which is holy seat of the mc, I sent a quick prayer to the gods of anime/weeb/manga etc. After I sat my but down and put my clam face on for everyone to see while I check the system.
[ Hello host, I am your system]
"I assume you won't tell me your origin" I whispered
[You are right host, my origin will be revealed later and you can talk to me with your mind]
I see..tell me your capabilites.
[The system is a log in system, unlike other log in or sign in I use mission to give out rewards and log in. So, each time you have a mission you can have either stats point or a log in chance.]

I see, what is the average status?
[ For a human with no Chakra, it is 1 in every point. That is the maximum that a human can achieve, but for ninja. A Genie has a status of 10, A Chūnin has status of 20, A Jonin has status of 40, A kage has status of 80, while otsutsuki has status of 160]
I faltered a little seeing the status, System is this the minimum or maximum?
[It is maximum]
I breathed a sigh of relief as this would be too much for me if it was anything less. Do I have any log in?
[ You have 3. One for entering ninja academy, one for activating the system, one for being the main classroom.]
Use all of them
[Congratulation for log in 3 times in a row, as this is your first time this system will give you one more reward]

This time not even my face which usually is able to keep neutral in all situations is now smiling from ear to ear. This abrupt shift was noticed by teacher and students but thankfully as I was looking outside they thought that I just found something amusing but, the teacher iruka was iched by this.
He said "Since Gin is smiling so much you must understand the lesson I am teaching you right. Tell me, Why is chakra control important? and how to improve it?"
