To clean or not to clean, is that even a question? Pavlo was born in a relatively poor family. Yet, thanks to his vivid intelligence and innate energy that always pushed him for the greater heights he became... a mobster. As soon as he came of age, the local organisation took him under his wings, quickly recognising his talents. Before the first digit of his age changed or even came close to turning four, he was already responsible for managing the vast financial empire of his new family! But everything has its own price. In the organisation like his, superiors always had to feel the breath of their subordinate on their necks. Sadly for Pavlo, what he felt was not the breath, but the cold steel of the autonomous truck that smashed his body into bits. A pitiful end sprinkled with the salty realisation that said truck was a product developed by the company that Pavlo used to launder the organisation money in the first place! Just like revolution eats its own children, so did Pavlo's investment claim its creator's life. But how could he see just a set of primitive bars instead of the glorious gate of the heaven... or more precisely, the stinky depths of the hell? And most importantly, what the hell are those flashing letters that seemed to have some majestic aura to them? WHAT DOES THE ULTIMATE CLEANING SYSTEM EVEN MEAN?

Will he become cruel and cold person? Will he become mad scientist like orochimaru? Will he remain prankster like before? What influence will Orochimaru do on Naruto? Warning : 1. Story is gonna be slow, quite lot of initial chapters are around training arc (ex. first chakra training, basic ninjutsu training, basic weapon training). 2. There will be lot of killing, massacre and lot gore (maybe). 3. No harem, also not much romance either 4. This Naruto is not going to be op from starting for long time, he will gained his power and experience through hard work, his journey will start from weak to strong 5. I haven't read Boruto Manga, no offence but I watched Boruto anime and i didn't like it very much, so probably there will be no Boruto plotline. 6. Our Naruto is going to be battle maniac like his original ancestors Uzumaki and Senju clan members 7. Plot will mostly stay same as original (with slightly changed and some different new characters). What to expect :- 1. Lot of training 2. Lot of original arcs (with slight change) 3. Smart and cunning mc Disclaimer :- First i don't own Naruto and it's characters (except original characters that i will create) PS :- it's my first fanfiction that I'm writing, I'm hoping it will turn out well and good. All reviews and criticism are welcome. English and grammar will be fine, i will try to create good dialogues and scenarios.

In her previous life, she was schemed against by her stepmother and married into the Jun Wangfu, ultimately forced to swallow gold and die. This time, although she was reborn into the body of the mentally challenged Wen Ningning, it felt like falling into a nest of fortune. The entire Changxin Houfu, filled with male relatives from two generations, adored her like their precious jewel. Who would dare to give her any grievances? Anyone who did would have to face the wrath of her general brother, her princess sister-in-law, and her cunning nephews! However, she now faced two troubles. One was her water bucket-like, chubby physique that was quite an eyesore, but she could use her designed artificial climbing wall to lose weight and strengthen her muscles; the effects were so remarkable that even the Jun Wangfu’s noble heir, Bu Gucheng, and the Eastern Palace’s Crown Prince were significantly attracted to her. But the second trouble was more frustrating: no matter how hard she tried to avoid Bu Gucheng, he always appeared in front of her. Now he even claimed that the two of them were already betrothed. Oh, heavens! She truly didn't want to have anything to do with her past life's fate and her cold-hearted fiancé. Why was this life’s aloof and indifferent man suddenly so clingy and possessive? What was going on?

I woke up in this world with a System and a sword. Without hesitation, I chose to complete the princess’ quest with my weapons: Arrogance. Cunning. Pride. I will lead guild Sol Invictus. Denizens of the 7 hells, respect me. Servants of the 11 heavens, know fear. Guild Invictus, know the suffering of training so you can wrest victory from the jaws of those who dare doubt you. This is a story about a snake named Tycondrius waking up in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery. There is action, violence, unapologetic murder, and arrogant displays of power. There is an emphasis on combat growth as well as psychological growth on more than a few members of Guild Invictus. There is camaraderie and also the inevitable comedic dialogue amongst manly men. There are even elements of romance and Tycon running away from terrifying, powerful women. (Did you know most female snakes eat their partners after mating?) Give this book a read. I hope some of these stories can inspire you to fight your battles with analytical intelligence, heroic courage, and ruthless lethality. Work is completed as of 9May2024. There's also a few side-stories written in Chapter 1151! The Author is working on a new story called 'I Wish You Were Never Reborn.' After four or so years of writing, my skills have much improved.
