"The Teiko Middle School basketball club. An incredibly strong team with over 100 members and three consecutive championship wins. Among their brilliant record, five prodigies stood above all, a group known as the 'Generation of Miracles.' However, there was a strange rumor concerning this team. Despite being relatively unknown and lacking any official game records, there were two more members acknowledged by these five prodigies. A phantom sixth man... and a self-proclaimed Shinobi."
The early morning sun bathed Seirin High in a golden glow as students flooded the campus, eager to begin a new school year. Among them, two boys walked side by side, their presence seemingly unnoticed by everyone around them. It wasn't that they were actively hiding, but rather, they moved with an almost unnatural subtlety—one due to sheer skill, the other due to something far more instinctive.
One of them was Kuroko Tetsuya, a pale, unassuming boy with light blue hair, expressionless but calm. The other was Naruto Uzumaki, an athletic young man with golden-blond hair and striking blue eyes. He exuded a warm, easygoing aura, yet somehow, he didn't draw attention unless he wanted to.
They walked in comfortable silence, a bond formed over the years needing no unnecessary words. Naruto's gaze lifted to the sky as he reminisced about how exactly he had ended up here.
And honestly? It was ridiculous.
Naruto Uzumaki, Seventh Hokage. Child of Prophecy. The man who shaped an era.
And yet, here he was—walking to high school like some normal teenager. If this wasn't Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi, he didn't know what was.
His last memories of his homeworld were as grand as they were chaotic. He had been freed from Daikokuten, helped his son, Boruto, settle some family issues with Kawaki and a bunch of sentient Shinju, and then… he had fought another god.
Shibai Ōtsutsuki.
The being Amado had only spoken of in theory, a god among Ōtsutsuki. Their battle had reached impossible heights, tearing through dimensions and nearly shattering the universe itself. Amid the chaos, he had been caught in one of the many space-time fractures—a crack in reality itself.
And when he awoke, he wasn't in his world anymore.
Instead, he had landed in a slightly more advanced Earth. There were cars—but they polluted the air, which immediately put them in Naruto's "not a fan" category. The shinobi in him had immediately adapted. Using genjutsu and transformation techniques, he forged an identity, creating a life that would allow him to blend into this world.
He had ended up enrolling in Teiko Middle School, where, for the first time in his life, he played basketball.
There, he met a group of prodigies who would later be known as the Generation of Miracles. Each of them was extraordinarily talented, but despite their efforts, none of them could ever beat him.
Not even once.
He didn't think much of it. To him, basketball was fun, and the kids were cool to be around. Among them was Kuroko, a timid and quiet boy who had been overshadowed most of his life. He had the uncanny ability to become almost invisible on the court, but Naruto saw through him immediately. No matter how hard Kuroko tried, Naruto always found him with ease.
That had set something off in Kuroko.
He trained harder, pushed himself more, and by the end of middle school, he had become a monster on the court—though no one would realize it unless they really took the time to analyze him.
Now, standing at the entrance of Seirin High, Naruto and Kuroko made their way toward the basketball club registration table. Without a word, they filled out their applications, leaving them on the table before heading further into the school.
Not long after they left, a tall, tanned teenager with wild red hair approached the table, introducing himself to the coach.
"Kagami Taiga," he said, his voice filled with confidence.
Coach Aida Riko, standing behind the table, glanced up and took in his impressive build. This guy… he's strong.
She had no idea what she was in for.
Later that day, the newly joined first-years gathered in the gym for their physical assessment.
Coach Riko, using her incredible "scan" ability, evaluated each applicant's body composition. Most were average, but then…
"Kagami Taiga."
The moment he stepped forward and removed his shirt, her eyes widened. This guy is built like a damn monster…
His muscle density, height, and explosive potential were insane for a high schooler.
And then…
"Naruto Uzumaki."
As Naruto casually pulled off his shirt, Riko's brain nearly short-circuited.
The ridiculous muscle definition, the perfectly balanced athletic build, the sheer raw presence—it was as if he had been crafted to be an apex athlete.
Her face heated up immediately.
"A-Amazing…!" she stammered.
Naruto smirked, unable to resist teasing. "Heh, like what you see, Coach?"
Riko nearly exploded on the spot.
Kagami raised an eyebrow, intrigued. This guy was something else.
Then came the biggest shock of all.
"Kuroko Tetsuya."
Silence.
No one had even noticed Kuroko standing there until his name was called. As he stepped forward and removed his shirt, Riko's jaw dropped once again.
He's… ripped?!
He wasn't bulky, but his lean frame carried a level of tone and muscle definition unexpected for someone so seemingly unremarkable.
Of course, she realized. He's a member of the Generation of Miracles.
With the assessments done, the new recruits were dismissed for the day.
The courts of Seirin High were about to witness something they had never seen before.
A Phantom Sixth Man…
And a Shinobi Among Miracles.
