1 Chapter 1

{POV: Kai}

My head hurts. Like it really, really hurts. It hurts, like my head is getting hammered open. It really hurts like hell. It's also dark. I mean like really dark. I can't even see a single thing. It doesn't even feel like I'm opening my eyes. Wait...you can't be serious right...I- I don't have eyes?! Or maybe I just can't open them? I really don't know anything anymore. What should I do now? Am I going to be blind for the rest of my life? Can I even escape from where I am right now? Wait, where am I right now? I mean I can't see and all but I feel is some slimy substance. I can also barely move around in this slime. The pain in my head is slowly fading away but it still hurts like my head is getting splitten open with a chainsaw. It fades away slowly but surely...until I don't feel any pain anymore. Finally I am free of this pain.

Ah my memories are slowly coming back to me. Wait I lost my memories before? It looks like I didn't notice because of the pain. So my name was Kai huh? Wait why "was"? Is there something I'm missi- Oh looks like I died. I really died huh? Then where am I right now? Is this the afterlife? Am I going to meet some god, who will grant me wishes? Nah probably not right? I mean aren't the protagonists, from storys like that almost always good people? If so then can be sure, that I won't be getting any wishes. I mean I was the worst scum out there after all. Okay maybe not the worst but I'm definitly not someone who deserves wishes granted. I was in the mafia after all and I did some pretty f*cked up shit. I never murder innocents or anythig like that but I killed, tortured and mutilated enemy mafia members like it's nothing. I was ruthless and killed many people, so I wouldn't deserve anything like that.

Then is this some kind of hell? Hmm...I would've thought it would be more fiery and less...slimy. Is this my punishment, spending the rest of my existence in here? Here in this dark, slimy place without anyone else? That's a really cruel punishment...I mean wouldn't I go insane from that? But I can't say I don't deserve it.

*muffeled sounds*

Hm? What are these sounds? Is there someone? Am I not alone? Oh maybe that's my torturer or something like that? I don't really know...

*muffeled sounds*

Huh wait? It sounds like it's coming from outside. But what is outside? I mean am I in a room or something like that? I have so many questions but yet so few awnsers. I wish someone would awnser them. This is really good torture, I have to admit.

<Timeskip: 9 Months>

Okay I think I figured out where I am. Now listen these last days, week, months or however long I was here, were really torture, like really it was agonizing not being able to do anything but I think I know where I am. A womb. Yeah no kidding I couldn't believe it either at first but it makes the most sense. The darkness, the muffled noises, the slimeniss and all of that, would make sense if you were in a womb. Well I mean it doesn't really make sense, that I, a 26 year old man is in a womb but it atleast makes more sense, then it being some kind of hell right? Well anyway I have been here for some time and I think it's soon time for me to be born. I mean, I don't really know how long I was here, with it being always dark and that but I can make a good guess. Now how can I make a good guess? Well sometimes the muffeled noises are very frequent, which means, that my mother is awake and probably talking, while when there are almost no noises she is probably asleep.

So I guess it shouldn't be long anymore before I get reborn. Now here is the thing which I mist thought about, while I was waiting to be born. What should I do once I'm out? I mean I was smart in my past life, very smart even, to the extent of being a genius. That means that I could be an even more genius in this life and get rich very fast. I probably would've been rich in my last life, if I didn't have to always pay most of my earned money to a loan shark, because of a loan my father left behind, before he died. Yeah I could be rich and live my life leisurely somewhere in the caribbien but do I deserve that? Even if it was because of the loan of my father, I still joined the mafia and I still killed, tortured and mutilated. The reason doesn't matter, afterall that doesn't make it okay. Then what should I do? Should I get rich and spend all my money on charity? No that wouldn't be enough. What could I do to atone for my sins? I mean, don't most protagonists in reincarnation novels become some OP Superhero? I already know my way around a gun and can fight fairly good. If I continue that way, I could finally atone for my sins by helping the world get rid of it's filth. Filth I once was. Yes that's it. I am going to be a superhero!

[Ding! Secret requierments to unlock "Naruto Template System" met!]

'Huh so I did get something when I was reincarnated, I just had to meet the secret requierments. Well then what were the secret requierments?'

[Ding! Secret requierment to unlock "Naruto Template System" is deciding to become a hero!]

'Oh well that uhm...means if I didn't want to become a hero I never would've gotten this huh? So what can you do then?'

[Ding! The Naruto Template System can gift you with the abilities of Naruto characters and give you the ability to change your looks to your template characters.]

'Wait...isn't that way too op??? I mean just the abilities of one character could already take out whole gangs alone. Isn't that overkill?'

[Ding! No. As a superhero you will not just fight against gangs. You have been reborn in a alternate marvel universe with many evil villains, who you will have to fight against. The more synchronisation you have with your character, the more of his strenght you would have. Meaning if you got "Might Guy" as template character you would still need to train your body and chakra in order to higher your synchronisation to use 8 Gates. Your body will however change according to your template character. Meaning if you got a senju character you will gain their strong body, massive chakra reserve and vitality.]

'Oh wow...that's a lot to digest. So I am in a marvel universe huh? Well it isn't that bad afterall I like the marvel universe. The problem is that I don't know which universe. I will also need to train to get higher synchronisation huh. Well I will do it, to atone for my sins. I still need to be born though. 'System when will I be born?'

[Ding! You will be born in 5 minutes and 42 seconds.]

Oh I can't wait. I will finally be out of this hellhole. I will be reborn and become the strongest hero to exist!
